Nice.A few observations.

1: Thank you for unlocking the doors to the trailers. I rarely bothered with them because it was too much of a pain to beat down those iron doors for the 2-3 lootable items that might be inside.

2: Have the toilets been 'fixed' so you are not going to be finding guns in them any more? :)

3: Was there an adjustment to the numbers of zombies spawning in POIs? I did that same house not long ago at about level 20 and encountered 2 to 3 times as many zombies as you did. Also usually the trailers when I would mess with them also had multliple zombies in each as opposed to 1 per like you saw.

Thanks

Yes, just part of the overhaul.

2, No but its very rare chance.

3, Yes on average probably a 20-30% reduction of zeds in pois.

 
Hi! Was wondering if you have an update MF count and when will you know if a18 is coming next friday

I'm 99% sure its coming Friday the 4th to Streamers. The 9 MF's I see look like they could be known shippables, and I have one I can fix in 10 minutes.

 
Okay, this has probably been asked before, sorry, but: if Q6 is supposed to be loot-only, does that mean the nerdy glasses are gone, or Q4 is the normal crafting limit, or the nerdy glasses effect is capped at Q5, or are nerdy glasses seriously magic loot now?

 
Was re-reading page 1. Didnt realize steel bullets where removed. I always have terrible luck finding ammo or brass, I hope you managed to balance that out nicely. Also Whats the best way to get paper now, I always seem to have trouble since regular books have been pulled and I only ever found that paper factory once.

I have 1000's of brass casings but AP ammo costs 5 gp, so I'm more concerned about enough GP on this character, but perception uses less brass than other builds because he does the most damage per shot. I was a bit brass challenged on my fortitude character around 100 hours in, but mainly because I wasn't looting as much but was trying weird trap designs that took a lot of time to build.

 
I personally loved the spear fighting in your last video, very fast an dynamic.
By the way, I found a tiny "bug?" in your video regarding a certain item: the radiator in the house at the 4:20 mark is taken appart with a wrench and is supposed to be taken appart with a wrench, and yet it has no wrenching animation while everything else in the video has.

the video:

It just needs one line of code to fix it.

I'm actually kind of thankful that A18 wasn't going to be released to us today, because I'm still really fuzzy headed from an illness my whole house just went through. I was wiped for 2 days, still kind of in the mud.

 
But it uses a lot more stamina, so whatever, break your game dude. TBH Spears are the worst melee weapon I've used so far, but you know what you are doing.

Maybe have spears passively penetrate armor when perked to make up for it? I think every "category" of melee should have its own advantages.

 
and probably less crazy and stupid people

Na, you just didn't hear about it because the only way to find out about crazy was to witness it personally, or read about it in the newspaper or watch it on tv. It feels like the media has shifted towards strongly favoring negativity and report it with bias where back then they just read the news and kept their feelings out of it. Like there would be "good news" too but since bad news sells better they did away with the heart warming stories they used to share. I don't watch the news, so the worst drama in my life is someone getting upset over a video game feature we changed :)

 
Speaking of that, I wanted to ask, is there a way to turn off digging terrain when your not digging?
I mean the only time you want it diggable is when your digging ofc. But most of the time your not.

Not without pointless engineering that would cause even more overhead.
