Hey Madmole, where's the tortoise?

Perhaps it was a snake?

 
Repair kits are simplified and all repair is unified now and the game is much better for it. I crafted 50 of them by day 9, what is your trouble?

That you can craft 50 by day 9 defeats the purpose of items breaking, no? Simplification isn't necessarily good.

 
There's no smoke without fire. There's a problem with that perk, as I explained.
I'm still thinking tying tool crafting(up until blue tier) to player progression like HP or Stamina is best in this case. Otherwise you got yourself a ♥♥♥♥eshow.

We are talking about 12 tools. 14 counting Auger and Chainsaw. Overpowered Perk much.

As everything it does is necesary for every player eventually, tying it to player level would feel organic.

Yas! I have another idea! why not put every weapon under advanced engineering? (joking)

You are assuming people craft everything or something. Everyone loots 99% of their gear now. You don't need the mining bonuses but can get 3 ranks pretty cheap. Even then none of its needed, a good looter/quester can buy all the materials he needs from a trader. Open your mind up a bit, not everyone thinks or plays like you do.

Its not 14 tools its 3. Shovels, Picks and axes. Nail guns have no quality and don't count.

I could stick chainsaws and augers under int somewhere, or make them so awesome you don't need any perks at all nor perks influence them, but I feel like you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Strength is not needed.

 
In what way is it BS? Try pregen01 out if you are having bad seeds.

Yup. Pregen01 is basically perfect.

It has a lot of towns (dont know about high rises yet)

A good mix of biomes with a leaning toward forests.

It has at least five Traders.

 
really loving fortitude build. think next play through I'm setting blood moon count at 4 and fist fighting the horde once i get the proper gear and perks to see if it's doable or I might do it for day 56 horde for this current play through.
also madmole wasn't kidding. once you get around level 20 and just focus on one tree like I did with fortitude you get kinda OP. not sure if it's the same for the other trees though.

About 4 ranks into stuff you are temporarily OP, then the GS catches up and well, you'll see :D

 
It implies hidden, but you do like to fix things that aren't broken...

It says buried treasure, not floating in the air. I didn't perk into miner 69r, buy a shovel to build scaffolding and grab my "buried treasure" floating near the ceiling of a POI.

A wild goose chase of materials for repair kits is bad for the game. Tools used to just use forged metal to repair, now its a bit more complex for those, and a unified method which is good for the game. I know you like clunky designs but we don't, so lets agree to disagree.

Yeah but A16 was so great.... rolls eyes.

Shame. Seems some of the best designs are accidental. :)

One man's clunky is another man's ingenious and fun complexity, but yeh we won't see eye to eye on this one. :)

Game is prettier though, we can agree on that...

 
yikes, first 7 day horde on nomad (3 player, individually), done by 22:46, where's the rest of the horde?
Click to expand...
Day 14....when your gamestage is higher. Think of Day 7 as the tutorial blood moon.

 
When I heard about the game the first time, I though you could only play 7 days, until the game is over. And then get some highscore or such.
