MM

played about 60 hours so far on this version. not much sleep.

My first trader had everything except a mixer. I have had those going for a long time, the forge and the chem station plus cooking. in the desert, made 300 jars for glue making. I am mining out the area right next door.

Problem is, no screamers. I should be making alot of heat, but nothing. Do trader posts not gen heat?

 
I don't want to argue with you, but your "FPS Boost" was not from Faatal's advice.. It was a result of all of us talking about graphics and performance. It was discovered by Q123 based on some advice I helped another person with...

So, you're welcome?

Yes, I am welcome, what I don't understand is why you're throwing ♥♥♥♥ at me when I'm only trying to help. My posts don't have bad intentions.

 
One mroe Note:
@Madmole What about a shape menu for other block?

Like barbwire. It would all has the same height, durability etc, but different looks for us base builders? (Really want the spiral wall barbed wire)

Or just make it upgradable to steel and use that? The new army bases look fun to make for a temp base/main base in towns

Also, Spears are OP. You can just spam throw them (even @ no stamina) and mutilate zombies.

yeah they kinda are.

maybe if you run out of stam. you aim becomes shaky

 
Oh yes, I bet his post throwing ♥♥♥♥ to me was very helpful to you. I'm just defending my point of view.

I'm sorry I upset you. I was merely defending my right to post about what I wanted and suggested we let moderators decide what's allowed and what's not. Now, at this point..This back and forth is clearly going into the 'not allowed' territory. I apologize. Let's just let it go.

I didn't said that anything was allowed or not, I always used the word SHOULD ("you should give useful information, feedback and bug reports to TFP") I never said "nobody is giving useful info!". Anyone can post anything, just wanted to clarify what exp branch is for some people to calm them down (not everyone knows, not one of my IRL friends knew what it was, so I though maybe by posting that I could help others).

Yeah I'm down to letting this go, it was just a misunderstanding caused by language barriers (From my part), and when people write stuff, not all can sense the tone of their intentions lol. It's all good man.

I found a auger on day 1 and used it. No joke took out 4 blocks with it and had a screamer above me. Killed her went back to using it and within 4 more blocks another screamer. Killed her and tried again and another screamer. Within 10 min give or take had several before night ended on the first day. Not sure what is up with that but stopped using the auger because it just keeps bringing in screamers. So maybe they don't gen heat or it is a bug maybe idk but I'm having well I should say I had no issues getting screamers with just the auger lol.

 
yes and some barbed wood spikes and steel spikes.
Also i would like that too something like this

wait wtf where are these i need

 
Mentioning this here because not sure if intentional or not. I happened to pass by a buried chest I had dug up for a trader quest. I looked at it and it had respawned loot. Was a few bits of can food and a hobo stew. Was couple more things in there but never noticed what they were as I had just hit R automatically. I know the food was there because I had none on me before.

So are these suppose to respawn loot like a regular container or was it not suppose to happen.

Nope.

 
Had an epic moment of gameplay last night. Was playing with a friend of mine on my private server.

I entered a POI which had a secret attic. It was night, and I was stupid enough to do this without any light source.

Finally I reached the top floor. All I saw was a dim red light and a shadow on the floor. Obviously I made a sound because

out of a sudden I heard zombies raging towards me. But they were still in the dark. Desperately I tried to pull my gun.

Then they entered the light cone,

and exploded...

Two Zombies instantly dead... saw another two standing up again...the next explosion blasting them into the air.

I couldn't help myself and started to laugh insanely, not clearly understanding what the heck happened.

Cautiously I advanced and what looked like a shadow turned out to be a cooking pot on the floor. Tried to pick him up, but it said 'needs to be repaired'

I started to laugh insanely again when I realized the attic was mined... Just as I tried to explain my comrade what has happened (of course he heard me laughing), I heard another sound. I managed to lure the last zombie over the cooking pot.

That made my day (or better night). For now my best moment in 7dtd !

Yet many to come....

The number variance on them suck too. Junk turrets? I had a lvl 3 vs lvl 2

3- 45 ammo, 16 damage

2- 61 ammo 15 damage

Good variance. Spears? Idk... Got 4 lvl 3's and all where within a point for damage, yet i found 3 lvl 1's and all where aruodn 2 points away from damage? idk if i just got good rng on the lvl 1 and bad on the lvl 3 BUT, maybe take a look at it?

BTW i DO LOVE that the rng is on mag size. a junk turret with 61 shots at lvl 2? Id love to see a lvl 6 with 100+

same goes for tools if anyone has found a power tool (saw/auger) Gas tank size varies. got a lvl 1 with a 324 tank + the mod 50% bigger tank + the honey book? I am literally poo bear

No i want sandbag blocks..?@Adam the Waster claimed we can make them?

 
If you are above a zombie, jump ontop of its head, then look down and hit it. I think they'll fix that issue though, that standing on zombies head is safer then one would expect. Might as well have fun with it while it lasts.I do however agree that melee seems to have taken a hit, but it could just be a personal adjustment issue to sort out how to best do melee in A18e. It happened quite a bit in older alphas that one needed to relearn how to melee , so i'm not going to yell out too much on that issue just yet.

It's all a matter of perspective I guess. I find the Sledgehammer much better and easier to use than in Alphas past.
