They can be annoying, but that is the point of this game. no? to get player unrested and survive. Some are direct threat, some are indirect. but you have to prepare for all and everything.

You can withstand annoyance for so long... I remember i had a tough time when RNG decided to flip me over in Terraria, during a time i wanted to focus on building. Imagine having a blood moon (night), followed by a goblin invasion (starts at morning), then another blood moon, followed by an eclipse (during the whole day) and a boss spawned during the night. Sure there are ways to escape those events, but some need to be fulfilled (invasions need to be eradicated, because they don't end on themselves). So instead of building you spend an hour or two fighting...

I remember having blood moons almost every night, sun eclipses every 2-3 days, mingled with some invasions. It's not like you get exponentially tougher with OP weapons in Terraria, so it's not like you kill faster the longer you play. 7DTD is similar in this aspect, although you get better weapons and equipment, but some events just take your attention from the tasks which needed that attention.

On the other hand, i think that's the reason i like the game, it's not only building and preparing, but also random events that can screw you up ;)

 
Yes, the ragdoll rigid bodies are active while dead, but you could hit remove a block under them and they would fall. Sure it could be done differently, but not a priority.

So it's not a performance issue if they are ragdolled until they disappear?

 
With the "No Child Zombies in A18", if you ever plan on doing child zeds later in game just remember, Australian law will give it a "Refused Classification" will ban the sale of the game here. Also they ban games that have "(1) illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards."... DayZ, Fallout 3, We Happy Few, etc had to change parts of the game because of the drug use.

You say 'here' but your location says Germany. Are you a time-slider or something?

And yeah, our gamer laws here are stupid. But I though they had changed them a few years ago to allow 18+ games now? Still limiting child z's and drugs, are they?

The positive side to that would be she is happier to be in a Zombie Apocalypse because all her credit card debt is gone! The prices at Shamway are also hard to beat in the end times! :)

Mmmmmmm Shamway #1 for "meat and meat like products"

 
The rise of bronies were one of the many signs of how degenerative this world has become. -_-

The... rise of bronies? You shouldn't have clicked the image search... O.O

I wouldn't be so quick to underestimate the freakiness of our ancestors. I bet there have always been people getting down in whatever ways they can imagine. Now that we have the internet, we get to hear about all the creative fun which makes it seem more prevalent today. Besides, isn't the power of invention one of mankind's greatest?

Well, SHE thought it was a good idea and **Bada-Bing! Bada Boom!** She is now the fat lady zombie! :)

 
I used a ranger station as my first base in my current game.

The size of the room upstairs is 9x9. So it's a bit bigger than what you want but still smaller than most other POIs.

By the way, there will be a bunch of new starter houses in A18. Let's see how big they are.

Man, that damn ranger station! It's been in the game forever and I both love and hate it. It's such a classic part of the game, just like the junkyard and that 2 floor lodge, but I remember the days of it being 50% of the buildings in RWG so I'm sick of clearing or living in it! :beguiled:

 
Hehe that sounds.. Somewhat disturbing :) Yeah I really liked the stay in the city. Very friendly people and I love the culture.. Had some good bifo de lomo and dulce de leche. I imagine life in Uruguay is very similar?

I just arrived in Bs. As. after that issue with the public defendant committing 'suicide'.. So there were many protests going on.

Thanks! I'm still doing a bit of Duolingo to keep my Spanish up.. But it's my 4th language, so it's not high on the list :)

Actually, life in Uruguay is a bit better (Right now) in general terms, a couple of years ago, Argentinian Peso was x10 the Uruguayan peso, now Argentinian Peso is almost the same as Uruguayan Peso.

If you do some research you'll find some of the reasons I believe Uruguay is a little bit better than Argentina (from an objective point of view).

Both Argentinian (as you said, that "suicide" wasn't a suicide at all) and Uruguayan governments are very corrupt as usual. Hope this change some day.

 
I’ve used that POI a few times in the past too. Each and every time, I wanted to remove that outside staircase before the first horde and eventually decided it’s not worth the effort. These days I either skip using a POI altogether, or I use the smaller cabin with the second story loft. I build a tower on the inside and let the zombies help destroy the outer wooden shell for the first couple hordes, then I destroy whatever remains.
