Precisely. The current world I'm on has one Book Tower, one Pharmaceutical Tower, 2 Joe Bro's Builders, and many factories and apartment buildings. I believe that the Dishong Tower has been removed from RWG though.

was the book tower, pharma tower etc. edited back in your game?

I swear the skyscrapers were removed in A17. The tall apartments and factories do not count as skyscrapers.

EDIT: After putting more thought in to this, maybe they were added back in A17.4 as that is the only version I did not really play.

Nope. They are able to spawn, just very rarely. They were added back in 17.4, minus Dishong.

Well that system isn't supported. Are you seriously going to dig a trench and put a row of wooden boxes filled with dirt IN the GROUND?

Yes. If that's the only way to have a flush farm that zombies won't get stuck on and bang til they break it. Even if the z's avoided it I would dig it in. Farms aren't elevated. Full Stop. I'll also dig an extra block around as I already do to bury wood frames. A17 it made hitting the plant easier. Both 17/18 it gets rid of the divot.

 
Having now watched the video Unholyjoe reposted regarding the planters box, whatever its called, I am no longer concerned about this change. Now I understand why there are concerns from other players regarding that ugly gap that happens when placing them in the ground.

I for one still plan on placing them in the ground and it would indeed be nice to have those ugly gaps gone.

If the gap remains no biggie, its not a game breaker just annoying aesthetically speaking.

As far as driving over them, I tend to agree with MM. Do not drive over them lol.

 
Even though it's not a thing at the moment, I still plan to treat the crops as though they can be damaged by anything. I just think it is highly likely to change in the future to be this way and I would prefer to be used to dealing with it already. They may even say that they don't plan on it, and if they do, I won't believe it because it's against the nature of such a dynamic world.

That said, I will most likely start building structures for farms... and therefore, the gap issue isn't something that will be bothering me.

 
@TFP or anyone that can answer this.

Are these new textures for frames & wood blocks in A18 or is it the same as A17? Maybe its time I upgrade my graphics card to see the true beauty of the game?

MM, the chainsaw and the auger, what stat do they fall under now? Intel with the science and gadgets or strength with the mining?

 
As the author of minibikes for dumb♥♥♥♥s and forge ahead, I will tell you that I like it. If you hated those kinds of things then you might not like A18. It feels like Fallout now in the way that there is a million cool things to find, and like diablo in that you might find a version of the same item that has better stats, or one better, one worse so there is a choice to make.
To me, this combined with the slower leveling and ungated attributes has taken the game from a 25 hour game to a hundred+ hour game with just one build. IF I can just sit back and craft the best guns/armor where is my incentive to loot? I don't have it. So once you get so far, it turns into building a big base you don't need.

If you call looting grinding, then this might not be your cup of tea. I find it extremely enjoying and so does the team.

This sounds totally reasonable. Too many games that have been around too long (MMOs I'm talking to you), in an effort to please everyone end up dumbing down the game by making progression faster and faster. I played an MMO years ago where the devs stated that it should take a player about a year to reach the highest level. Now a player in the same game can hit max level in a weekend...

 
i actually did a quick or semi quick video on a few aspects of the farm plots... enough to wet the whistle.
i'll link it here again. :)

Joe, Devs, Trolland: anyway yall can get rid of that space in between the plot block and the ground to fill it in to make it look more natural to the ground in 18? Talking about the space at around 3:20 in the video next to plot block/ground.

 
Also If it's raised I am afraid zombies would get blocked by it and destroy it.

That's why IMO it's critical that a farm is flush with the ground. It's just too risky not to.

 
I’m tired of all these rock jokes. One more rock reference and my temper will burst. Let me ask a you a serious question. Who is your favorite fictional boxer portrayed by Silvester Stallone?

That's why I will most likely dig out a space for the farm boxes (1 deep into the ground) and surround the farm boxes with one row of upgraded wood frames that will be painted to look like gravel. At least this method will also give me a supply of clay.

 
You actually might find some fools on the forum to help you. Because they are still single and don't know what they are getting in to.
Not me though. I may be single but I heard ... stories.

Lol! You know any of these fools? I've heard there was a math teacher in there. And a Pennsylvanian Pervert. And a South American.

So... Sink the boxes. :)

...instead of just farming the old tried, true and familiar way.

This is a good time to be alive... :)

There's a couple of southerners (of England) here too, don't forget those!

I'm talking about our resident Geordie and Mackem, by the way. I'm from the borders :)
