Oh God no. Fallout building system is horrible. I much prefer the freedom of block by block building in 7dtd. Being stuck with whole wall segments? No thank you.

Key words: With mods. There were 1/2 walls, 1/4 walls, 1/8 walls, nice snap points. Hell no to one block per meter dude. I want to put 20 clutter items on a desktop, not one. I want to rotate my walls 274.3 degrees. I want to build not on a grid.

The best solution is a hybrid, both have pros and cons. But less than 1 meter thick walls with decorations on them? Yes please.

 
@Madmole, did it make it into the trader in A18 to be able to buy purely aethetic items like refrigerators, microwaves, coffee pots, etc? I'm hoping because I like to run my server completely unmodded. *fingers crossed*

I don't think so. There is some useless ♥♥♥♥ in there. As I said I want to be able to collect that stuff at pOIS with a radial menu hand icon and pickup timer. Then we don't clutter up traders with metal corner pipes and useless bs.

 
Imagine a use case where you join a server when its "low" and you run in there, then it goes to normal and you die and cannot get your stuff back.

That would be bad. I know from experience. I was blessed with dying on my first day three games in a row when A17.0 launched and I kept getting random rad zones in the middle of my maps. It was a very bad first impression of A17 for me. If I were new to 7D2D, it may have steered me away from the game.

Hey, as long as we can acquire them legitimately in survival (but the creative menu suffices for now), that would be fantastic imo. (: But again, this is fluff.

 
Record that Day 28 Horde yet? The last one was surprisingly nasty. I like it.

I'm still 2-3 hours out. I know you guys are as anxious as a fart in the skillet but finding 2-3 hours of free time is tough some days.

 
Non digging zombies is game breaking though. We'll improve it so they follow the way you go in most cases.

Maybe limit digging to ferals? That way, in addition to better pathing there's less swiss cheese landscape and wreckage by RHs but still a balanced way for blood moon hordes to attack bunker bases?

I remember that bug it sucked. I explained to countless players that it was a bug and then of course you have the players who like to argue and say it was a feature lol. They were such a pain to convince it was a bug.

#ArgumentativePeopleAnnoying

 
Interesting how people reason. MadMole frequently touts this game with a blunt Majority-Over-Minority attitude regarding player preferences and suggestions.
I wonder, if Australia is one of a few countries that would consider child zombies (spoiler alert - zombies aren't real) a reason to ban sale of the game, but if the majority of the world was ok with it, would the devs stick to their MOM point of view.

Or if their business mentality would overturn their attitude and never add child zombies based on profitability and sales of the game.

Doesnt matter what the country is or what the contested item within the software is. Once this happens the Publisher/dev have 2 options.

1) adjust the contested item for the country in question - 2 versions to maintain.

2) adjust the contested item for all - maintain 1 version.

Option 2 generally always wins..

 
lol...sorry to hear that. Kids can be...amazing lol. Kids can be kind, loving, and just all around cute and little devils at the same time. Children, weird creatures I say. :rapture:

How do you trap a fart in a skillet?

Now if you said "like a frog on a hot tin roof", Im right there with you ;)

 
What is your favorite zombie and vampire movies of all time?Not counting I Am Legend as its debatable if those things are actually zombies.

My personal fav vamp movie is "Interview With The Vampire" with Brad Pitt.

I have no fav when it comes to zombie movies. Maybe the original day of the dead...or dawn of the dead. I cannot remember which came first. If I Am Legend was part of this, my fav zombie movie would be that one.

Dawn of the Dead: Scary running zomibes, brutal, humans being ♥♥♥♥s, everything ending bad lol.

Shawn of the Dead: Mix of scary, comedy, character growth, irony. Very hard to pull off horror and comedy and put meaning into it.

Bram Stokers Dracula: Again great story, good vs evil (is he really evil?), he can turn into a wolf, a giant bat, little bats, etc.

Underworld 1 and: Love story, turmoil against her own kind, great action. Underworld 2 was amazing too, Marcus was cool in bat form, so scary, great action. Interesting politics and lore in each faction.

Runners up, worth watching:

28 days / weeks later

Zombie Land

Land of the dead

Blade 1-3

Planet Terror

I am Legend

First few Resident Evils

True Blood first 4 seasons

Queen of the Damned

From Dusk Til dawn movie and tv series

30 Days of night: Heavily inspired 7 days tbh

Dracula 2000 is a sleeper hit IMO Didn't even know who Gerard Butler was yet

John Carpenter's Vampires (cheap but creepy vampires with great gore, James woods was a badass)

 
Its no worries, they are selling on ebay for 1.99 so its not like he destroyed some awesome investment lol.

He didn't destroy them when he cut them in half. He authenticated them....

I love Shawn of The Dead! I've seen that movie at the very least 20 times. I was shocked someone actually was able to pull of making such a funny zombie movie with a good story line, that is a masterpiece of art. Ok my favorite zombie flick would have to be Shawn of The Dead. :)

EDIT: I think I seen every movie you listed off besides the dracula movies. You do know your z and v flicks.

just curious as to how far this bandit thing is going. will they eventually be able to use all the vehicles to attack us? such as using mounted guns on the 4x4 to shoot us or dropping stuff like pipe bombs on us from the gyrocopter?

Doubt it, getting them on foot, patrolling POIS, taking cover, using meds etc will be a lot of work. They don't need to do all that. It would be cool, but pathing a 4x4 would be tough. Maybe them on motorcycles wouldn't be too hard. Flight shouldn't be too hard either tbh.

 
Glad you like like it. It actually takes me back to New Vegas, beginning with a bullet in your skull and a score to settle; it would be awesome for these new origins to be tied with some story-driving NPCs in the future, or some really custom settings, I.e. beginning infected and searching for a batch of antiserum within the hospital

Different start conditions are a great way to breath in new challenges into games. This reminds me of the recent DLC for battle brothers where you can have different start conditions for your company.
