PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

MadMole, I would like to see you do an Intel build.
1. you professed you are not so good with traps, and it could help see how to improve it for others. but, more importantly

2. all other builds have weapons assigned except Intel. that is just from the glimpse of the trees you previously showed us

Stun batons and junk turrets are two weapons . The junk turret you can carry around and fire

Infection is reworked again. Here are the release notes:
+Changed: Brand new infection system. Infection is easier to contract when you have low health than high health. 1% is barely infected, at 100% infection you die. Stage 1 lasts one (real time) hour and up to 14% and has no side effects. Stage 2 lasts 3 hours (up to 57%) and is-25% stamina recovery. Stage 3 lasts 3 hours and is -35% stamina recovey and -1 to all attributes. You die if it reaches 100%. Getting may hit increases infection. Take antibiotics to cure infection, such as honey, herbal antibiotics or pharmacy grade antibiotics. Antibiotics lessen stamina recovery penalty by half while curing.

But I thought that the timing would hold consistent with the title of the game?

Does A18 have a new rifle for perception players? We've got the Hunting Rifle and Marksman Rifle, but nothing for Tier 3.

Stage 1 is 1 hour. Stage 2 is 3 hours. Stage 3 is 3 hours. That’s 7 hours or 7 in game days if you’re on default

7 days to die

yeah, try a stun baton on horde night, and you cant aim and use a junk turret very well for horde night either

Meh, someone will figure out a better way. The solution is genius and right in front of their face, but overlooked yet IMO. I know a guy who invented free energy that is coming to the market. Well its solar, but then uses heat and cold to generate endless energy once its started.

Is it a sterling engine running a generator?

Interesting right? I hope that it is true.

I wonder how many junk turrets you can have active with perks. Horde night you could set up an army of Qberts.

 

[JayzenFreeze]

As many bullets as you go through in one horde night I am really worried about getting brass. I wish there was a way to mine the resources and smelt some brass.

did they change that? I didnt see any limit at all and there isnt any in a17. just a limit on connections per power source regardless of energy output

The trick is not flooding the players with easy/passive methods of obtaining brass early on because in that scenario crafting ammo would never be a challenging prospect, while ensuring that later on, between repairing and upgrading your base and mining for resources, that the player can keep up with the required quantity of brass to continue to fight the 7 day hordes. As madmole suggested, smelting down dukes could be the answer, but so far, this idea has only been suggested and not practiced. We'll all have to play A18 and figure out this issue for ourselves, if the issue will be present for the majority of players in the first place.

I heard Neebs already filmed the first couple videos for their new series, so they're definitely playing a17, not a18.

How do you know?

 

[wolfbain5]

How do you know?

its a turret, and so far all the turrets have the same functionality with the exception that this ones xml says can be picked up. prolly has less ammo capacity for balance.

I meant the new A18 Junk Turrets. Under intellect I think.

one of the streamers commented on that, I think it is 1 and lower ammo count. but then they really didnt get very far

 

[Aldranon]

Here's to hoping that Perception build gets some love. I have a feeling that will be my first build

Man, I am so torn between Strength and Intelligence.

-Strength for the shotgun and mining (although POI clearing might be the thing in A18).

-Intelligence because the play-style would be so different!

I'll might go by the first good weapon I find too. Listening to the "Wind of Change" as it were.

 

[beerfly]

Wait. Having to fight inside your base and crafting area and losing storage crates to the horde is "doing great"? Um.......talk about a participation trophy. I'd call that horde night a total fail.

If you have big ass fortified area full of double walls, turrets and alarms

, yes, big fail.

But if I play nomadic and use a shed with no walls? Adventure. And death, you know..

 

[Aldranon]

Well instead of learning about the holocaust, I'd cover it, but spend more time teaching about famous inspirational speakers, inventors, how someone started a business and created 1000's of jobs and transformed a poverty stricken area into a robust community, etc. Inspirational positive history, not tragedy and "what not to do".

I see life as a great adventure and on so many levels.

No one has walked my path for sure and I would bet good money than no one has walked anyone else's.

Its cool right?
