@faatal could we get clarification what exactly means: VEHICLESDamage when colliding with the world is more accurately calculated and less land claim damage is done. [update note]

Does that mean vehicles well now not ignore a players lcb protection?

The notes on the change are: vehicles do half damage to land claimed blocks and make the sound, use driver's block damage scale.

If it was ignored, then it should work now. Specifically, GetLandProtectionHardnessModifier returns x2 modifier for vehicle hits. Less false hits also leads to less damage.

 
@MADMOLE there is a book called urban combat on the notes wasn't that a book that was removed in like a12? or lower

Its brand new series. A lot of "old stuff" made it back into the game, like pummel pete and various names of stuff from earlier alphas.

 
"We changed encumbrance so players start with a full extra in new games so your penalized so quickly when you inventory is fills up."

Not what I wrote, some kind of copy paste error.

 
Is there a place you would like me to post any grammatical or spelling errors in your release notes?

Example: "on how XP was was mostly earned by Zombie Kills"

 
Time to put this on as a avatar for a fresh new Alpha, eh? ;)

Honestly I'll take bearded older me with muscle vs long hair scrawny younger me. I feel great like I'm still 30 since I changed my diet a few years ago so I'm not one of those guys sitting around talking about "what I used to do", I'm beating my old bests all the time yet :) Age is a number, most people who think they are old, are really just sick and out of shape.

 
I was referring to you having starting to think about how to make good use of automated defenses. I did castles and other boxes-bases in A10-12, since block building lends themself very well for that task. Castles can look very good and impressive, your's no exception, but when they start to be as defensive as a real castle would be, that's when it gets actually intresting. :smile-new:
In my opinion, and plays, i am not happy with a base before it is a place i would consider safe enough for living with a family in the zombie apocalypse.

Yeah I'd like to do a castle and let them break through walls if they can, then retreat to the next fortification at the castle, etc. I think its viable with zero traps if you did it right.

Soooooo can we make 16 k RWG maps again??? or bigger??

Coughs * Release the Kraken * Coughs

PS..looking forward to my fire helmet!!

 
No harm no foul. Hopefully you can still edit, I'm very curious how early game encumbrance was tweaked

I removed a row of locks, and you can craft pockets for clothing on day 1 to remove 3.

 
I really hope this isn't as horrible as it sounds...it's bad enough that a lot of games cause anyone with motion sickness to be nauseous, but adding in noises...Ugh

Buy Iron Gut perk and you will never hear it, or eat strictly canned foods.

 
MM,
It's hilarious, I am a metal head, my favorite band is Iron Maiden and I now qualify for AARP. 55 years old and still rocking. I feel sorry for the kids that will have to work at the old folks homes we will be wrecking :)

So excited about streamers. I will once again probably watch about 20+ hours of streams. Then on Monday it will be time to see how long it takes to get over 3000 hours.

Thanks for all the hard work everyone. Thanks MM for putting up with us and keeping us informed.

Chris

No worries rare poster guy rocker guy :)

 
Today I fixed our movement speed cap on zombies. Now 5 of the zombie walk types are a bit faster in nightmare speed and when they rage boost, look out. I'll enjoy watching that video. :playball:

Ohhh nice!

 
Crazy amount of changes and fixes. When put in a nice list like that, it really shows the amount of work put in. Plus, I'm sure there's a ton of stuff that didn't make it into that list. Or things that are just a line item that took a month, etc... Nice work all!

 
Ohhh nice!

Can we get a nice video of Zds trying to get you rekt by those faatal changes? I can already taste the entertainment.

A18 is still thousands of minutes away.

Edit: I'll do anything. ANYTHING. No homo.
