Oh wise Mister Madmole, what a wonderful and generous Idea. Oh i wonder who would like to lay hands on that best build out of Creation...

Ehm... Too much?^^

 
Already answered this, because we want to teach one method. To farm place a farm plot and plant a seed. Not "Alternatively you find a hoe and till the earth with several ingredients".

Ok, thank you. As you said, not long to go and let's see how the community responds to the change.

Cheers, MadMole 😁

 
I am waiting for my new RTX 2070 Super video card to arrive. Are you eventually planning on incorporating any of their abilities to enhance the game's graphics? I personally just purchased it so I can get 4K and decent frame rates on the game but don't know enough about Ray Tracing or other features to know if the new tech will have an advantage for your game.

 
One bedroll is way too limiting. Not unlimited, and maybe the grass bedrolls decay and you need a bed for a perma spawn location. Be nice to plop a grass bedroll down outside a poi and still have your fort bed. Or place one for a pal and he can spawn near you when you both join a new server.

I get why games require a respawn mechanic but I kinda liked how you had the "near" the bedroll option in, to prevent a deathloop if you died AT your bedroll... it was always good enough, and back when we could choose which bedroll to spawn in (a9? a10?) it was nothing more than a teleporter.

Especially early game when death is meaningless, and ESPECIALLY on a server where being a higher level can actually be a detriment, this system is definitely going to be abused.

...and since you're going to ask, it's all about keeping the gamestages low... if I can have the benefits of higher level stuff (other people) while keeping my GS low (lowering my own dangers), I win. Adding in the ability to teleport by eating glass, is not good. I hope it's at least xml editable, and right now zero about the bedroll system is xml editable.

I'll be lurking around with my 7D2D coffee cup in hand while wearing my 7D2D shirt, waiting to pop the iced tea.

As much as I would like (love) to be one of those guys... the forum would explode. I'll wait with the gang, watch my favorite streamers and cheer when its released. :)

Its tradition.

 
I realize my comment/question might come off as being cheeky or something, but I can assure you that was not the intent.
I honestly think the rage mechanic even with less zombies at a time will be more difficult for new players than double the zombies without. I just wanted to know if you thought that was a possibility.

That is what balance is for.

 
So much fuss about hoe and gardening, and halved outdoors zombies spawn rates..Come on, I get both sides but it's getting silly to complain about something that we haven't had a chance to experience yet.

Hoe & gardening - it was giving a sense of accomplishment to do manual work, it felt awesome, but even I can admit that once I set a gigantic fields of crops, I dont need that tool anymore, it was scraped on sight or forged. And it was annoying to hell how soil behaves when tilling, let alone planting seeds on greater scaled fields, where every 3-4th block it plants on damned grass. I would have loved it if it was expanded on, not replaced, but I don't think it has that much of an impact on any playstyle as it was set-it-and-forget-it thing.

As it goes for wilderness zombies, even though it sounds a bit dissapointing, I can't give my opinion on that matter, as I and the rest of non-testers have no idea what's in the store once A18 drops. Not trying to be rude to anyone, but seriously, save all the valid concerns etc once we can actually see how is it handled.

Anyway, question for @madmole or @roland :

Ehm, sorry if this has been mentioned/answered already(have been lurking on this thread but really can't remember): are any new electrics such as advanced circuits(OR/AND/OR/XOR etc)/breakers/sensors planned for the future alphas, as I pressume A19 is already content-locked?

I know this maybe isn't the right place or time to ask that, but with addition of so much content in a18, one can only hope for some new electric stuff, as that would be awesome for some playstyles. Thank you in advance. :-)

I can answer that for you. No new electricity for A18.

He literally gave you a logical argument for the farming change and your immediate response was to tell him to go away.

Lol it seems if anyone is pushing for trouble it's you.

I'm sorry, maybe I must have missed it but, could you point me to the forum rules that obligates one user to answer another? 🤔

Anyhow, MadMole already made things clear.

 
Got it. Streamers are stupid, so all gamers are stupid.
This streamer partnership thing really did turn out to be the bell tolling for the game that us long timers loved. Shame. When's the Battle Royale Mode being added?

Baby mode off please.

 
This isn't Jerry Springer or Oprah.
It's farming's funeral.

Maybe for vanilla, but not for the game. If you really want a lot of farming, just add the big farming mod and you are good to go.

Until I actually play a18, I can't really comment about the new system, but I'm eager to try it.

Correct, you don't have to! Which is why it's kind of boggling you for you to chose to insult Roland instead of ignoring him.

Going from a 980ti to a 2080 in a17 has seen marked improvement. I was concerned that it wouldn't justify the purchase, but at least on day to day playing, a good bump, and the 980ti did just fine.

No clue on horde nights yet though.
