GET THAT extra protein!!!!!

 
This food poisoning thing makes no sense to me and seems very backwards. As far as I know old cans of food would have a much higher chance of making you sick then something you hunted and cooked. I personally throw away old cans of food for that reason but am very happy to eat something I've killed and have never got sick from it. I mean really would you get sick that often when eating bacon and eggs I sure don't.

Nuclear fallout and the zombie virus has tainted pretty much everything except pre war canned goods.

 
I like that you can now jump and catch a ladder two blocks high instead of the one block high before, wondering if A zombie can jump and climb now too.

 
Hey MM,
I just found a use for all those extra AK's we are finding in loot chests...

Lol. We condensed all parts to the governing perk. So now you'll find machine gun parts, which craft ak's and m60's.

 
I feel that the death penalty is a bit too forgiving now. I think that on top of the XP deficit, you should have the XP progress towards your next level reset. As it stands now death is inconsequential.

Do you play where you drop nothing on death too? Could make it delete all on death if you want.

Not bad. You should run with that.

Nuclear fallout mutating some virus or fungal spores is not a unique idea, but strengthening the concept by having several examples at the same time in a story would be. When a movie or series goes this route, we only hear about the source of the zombies... but if something causes the mutation of one virus, isn't likely to mutate several?

It would be pretty cool if you just made up diseases instead of trying to work in what exists in reality right now and to have some actual lore in the game about them.

Yeah I was watching a couple streams and everyone was saying that TFP removed the storage boxes. Maybe moving the furniture helper to the basic first list of primitive items would help? Get people curious about it?

You can craft the small chests they hold plenty of stuff. Furniture helper is not basic it takes nails to craft. I think a storage helper will work, unless we throw nails out and just let people craft various storage from plain wood.

Whatever dude, wait til you die at level 80 and lost an hour or two of progress. Maybe they nerfed it, it was 25% I think when that happened to me.

AWESOME NEWS, faatal has found some good gains already, and I was combing through lots of new models and discovered texture streaming wasn't enabled on tons of them so the vram issue will either be dead or drastically improved in the next patch :)

Buddy I am rootin' for you folks!

 
I hear that and am sure this was why but still makes no sense you would think actually balancing food or making foods have spoilage would have been a much better solution than "better gameplay than sense" but I don't think we're ever going to win the battle on that one. It's also not the late game this even matters on it's early game that I've seen people having problems with when they don't have hardly any canned food and only have things they've cooked. I don't know it just makes no sense to me and I don't think it ever will.

Who doesn't have loads of canned food? What game are you playing?

Go hunting and kill everything you see, cook and eat it. throw up&gt;? big deal keep eating.

Buy food from traders if you have to.

Buy food from various vending machines in the world if you have to.

Tier 1 dig quests give lots of food.

Air drops have food

All cupboards have food.

End of poi loot rooms sometimes have shamway crates which drop food.

Taking vitamins prevents any chance of food poisoning, so take a vitamin and eat 50 rotten flesh if you want.

The only player who could possibly have a problem is the sit on your ass hiding underground mining for a week at a time player.

I just think you are simply being stubborn to change, its the best version of food we've ever had. New players will just get it and like it.

I'm a go with him on that to be honest. like you said by level 40 you are kinda OP. heck after the build I went with and the gear I collected I felt OP at level 30. I feel no reason to fear death. I mean if I get some debt i just do a trader quest to wipe most of it off then go grind the rest of it mining up resources.

 
I haven't heard one peep about the farm boxes, as I said I had an ace up my sleeve, which is the best survival game on the planet.

Probably for two reasons,

#1, its early game still

#2, there's no need to farm anymore

Great news!!!! I also bought 16gb of more ram which should bring me up to 24gb once I replace 2 of my older dimms. Hopefully this gets me some gains. 😅

Vending machines and buried stash quests (being both a food and cash faucet) make things way too easy.

 
Havent checked xmls yet but I think there is an oversight with pass and gas boxes. Opened one yesterday that had 2 stacks of repair kits (25 in one stack 15 in the other). I felt like I won the lottery lol!!!!
