PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

[agrastiOs]

Alpha 18 looks good.Alpha 18 feels great.

But....

Boiled Water has a chance for Dysentery by 3%.

Cocked Food has Food Poisoning between 4 an 13 %.

Food Can do not have Food Poisoning.

WHAT?!?

Why should i make a garden with Plants?

Why should i go to hunt Animals anymore?

Just wait for a Airdrop and feel lucky.

Please tell me that this is a mistake and wil be fixed.

Please

Both boiled water and cooked food having chances to give you a disease makes sense and not canned food makes science scientifically, but it also makes sense gameplay-wise.

If you want lots of food, you can go to work a bit for it and have it but prepare for a risk to vomit.

If you want to not vomit, then go search or buy canned food, but RNGesus has to bless you.

All makes sense for me.

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.

The opposite is true.

im not surprised you get food poisoning if you go around sticking your man bits into it

LOOOOL . Took a while to get the joke.

Well, maybe the word "Dysentery" was a poor choice as boiling water would kill the bacteria or amoeba infections.So, some type of chemical pollution in all that standing water would make more sense.

Also, caned food can theoretically last forever, if the airtight seal is never compromised. After 10 years, it would taste and look "odd" but it wouldn't kill you.

Agreed, boiling water doesn't completely purify it if the water has some dangerous minerals/chemicals. In fact, boiling water with these can even worsen the problem and can get you even more poisoned. I think boiled water needs to give a different disease with a different name to make sense. Or just rename Dysentery.

if you play 20 days you weigh 200 kg because you have to eat all the time

Not true, carrying 5 tons of bricks and stone burns a lot of calories.

The canned food is in a can it was sheltered from the nuclear fall out and ensuing virus spreading.

Where as the ground and any living thing animal and hooman that has been in contact with it is infected/carrying it etc.. make a total sense.

For tfp to come up with a actual story behind something makes me also believe this system is a final system. Maybe a bit of a touch up here n there but it should stay.. other then that mods can change things later to that people make that they are not happy with etc

I love how people selectively choose when realism rules apply. Its quite humorous. Since anyone can use it whenever they wish to state their point is correct, and then go and turn around and say it would not work because its just a game.

Like you get mad because zombies are supposed to be dumb and its just not realistic they would know where you are, then we can say the idea of farming being safe would not work because MUH REALISM.

I was just trying to throw people a bone in this debate. Personally i love the way it is now. And farming is STILL too easy. Prove me wrong.

 

[Guppycur]

So when a nuclear bomb goes off and the radiati9n floats to the ...... where does it go... does it go oh I not allowed on the ground and stay air borne lol.
Ofc it goes on the ground and radiates it making it uneatable or at least you get poisoned by what you grow and eat from it. This system makes total sense and 100% see what tfp are doing.

That's not how radiation works.

Jax's plan has merit because as he said, he's properly preparing the garden and starting from seed, so even the ecoli argument could be made moot since farming is dictated by perks, i.e. skill.

 

[kuratowakiru]

Instead of talking bout food where it is clearly reasonable.. we should be discussing this poor bloke right here - karatowakiru and how he was involved in gang violence and bullied and set upon by a mob.
Never ceases to amaze me we all focus on food but we all ignore the guy who got bullied by a gang of zombies..

These are real questions

1. Why does tfp allow this bullying

2. What are tfp gonna do about it so it doesn't happen again

3. Need to contact the red cross and salvos to get this guys house fixed and replace anything he lost

:-D :-D

lol:biggrin-new:

And I did ran a little test. They first make a B line to me and hit what ever block closest between me and them.

and then after a few seconds. they switch to the weaker block if they haven't already. https://i.imgur.com/LFJTzXj.jpg, as soon as that first cobble block break, they ignore that first block and huddle to the last cobble block.

so yeah, back to cheesy path exploit build :\

 

[Sam_Neill]

I really didnt know we had so much people in the forum which studied food chemistry :strawberry:

#foodgate

It is a gameplaywise choice.

 

[HungryZombie]

I think death is very cheap.Not enough punishment.

I Lost Some Xp

No problem, I kill some zombie and Xp comes back in a second.

I think...

- Lose all current (Xp bar) XP

- Lose 1 point from hightest Attributes

(Perception, Strenght, Fortitude, Agility, Intellect)

Yes play with the "delete all" on death setting. Your wish has been granted.

If you can make an airdrop worth of food last until the next drop comes then you must not be doing anything. Running, fighting, mining all burns your food up. One airdrop lasted me one day maybe.

TFP is clearly helping to reduce the number of bullies. We do our part make no mistake!

 

[HungryZombie]

Hey MadMole,
I think now it's time to do some cleanup.

Imo noone needs 3 kinds of brass (4 including radiators). Simplyfy door knobs, trophies etc. to just scrap brass.

Same for lead, too. I think most of us scrap it already to save inventory space, ignoring the loss of material.

Be careful using "most of us".

From my perspective "most of us" never scrap brass or lead because you lose too many resources. Better to put them right into the forge.

 

[DaVegaNL]

I just finished an epic 2 hour session, by myself. Now it’s time to play 7 days To Die.

You need a band-aid?

Never have trouble seeing the snake in front of me.

What can I say.. Im a tall guy!

 

[Zombuild]

Am on day 11 and have garden with mushroom, corn, blueberry seed planted.High on bacon and egg as well.

Mix eating canned and cooked food as i go.

Have not had even one upset stomach yet

 

[wolfbain5]

Probably the snowdog zombie has been scrapped.

had to scrap, it was supposed to be the alpha zombie dawg, but was only interested in licking itself so never left the kennel

Yeah, see the thing is though we've seen this debate a hundred times... and then we see people making this very point a hundred times too.

Setting aside realism vs gameplay, without some lore, without some kind of explanation, the food situation is illogical.... and when something is illogical it makes it hard from a realism perspective and a gameplay perspective.

I also love how it plays. For once, we have to think about food, but admittedly, it is weird and awkward when you stand back and look at it.

 

[Kattla]

When the old death penalty came out, the wails of agony could be heard all across the internet. Rivers of tears, man, RIVERS OF TEARS!(it was beautiful)

That's not coming back.

No? :rain:

Have you guys finally changed water physics?

Irradiated rabbits are peeing on all the crops off camera.

...funny, but still not how radiation works. =)

 

[Adam the Waster]

Probably the snowdog zombie has been scrapped.

he a zombie dog thats frozen lol

and is radioactive

also plz add radioactive zombie dogs , vultures and bears

 

[HungryZombie]

I have a question about food...
1. Crafted high qualify food (Stew, etc) has a change of food poisoning. why? I know food spoils but I just made it.

2. if food I make can spoil, when will I be able to can food since that does not spoil?

PS: if I made food at home and it spoiled right away no one would eat!

There is something in the environment that effects plants and animals. It's in everything and everywhere. You can never completely cook it out. Canned food is pre-war and was canned before the apocalypse.

 

[Ezed]

Just started playing A18...so maybe this was just a glitch so am curious if anybody noticed the crawler zombies can hit you without ever actually swinging? Was standing watch the guy crawl towards me when 'WHACK' to legs. Then again...'WHACK'...sprained leg...but he never took a swing. Am keeping an eye open for more of them to check but in the meantime, thought I'd ask around...

Edit...n/m, it's probably due to the fps...err...fpm I am experiencing.
