We'd have to link the recipe to a new block that can be shoveled so the POI ones cannot be shoveled. You can't pick up your concrete, and its arguably kind of expensive to make.

i think then the crafted version should be treated as a new block, concrete is different as it hardens and you can't or wouldn't be able to easily move that but a box of dirt should be something you can move easily enough

 
I do love all of those recipes and schematics, especially the books though. Although the weapon crafting ones idk, kinda seems like by time you can read one that you're not perked into crafting a level 1 of that gun is rather pointless, both to use and to sell. Perhaps in some way - by reading one - you can have a chance at learning the next tier of level to craft? Not the perk, just the ability to craft a higher level.

Very true, it's mostly a loot clutter for no real value.

 
I think one of the best features of A18 are the books. finding those suckers and saving some perk points is awesome.

I do like some of the new POIs and the mining nodes, no more filling the map with random 1 block holes!

 
MM or anyone with the KNOWLEDGE

At work and cannot try, and always forget to when I get on in the evening, Do the thrown rocks use the same mechanics as thrown molotovs/grendes? Inexpensive way to practice arcs and trajectories.

 
Yes. Don't those quests send you to a spot then they all spawn?
Click to expand...
Not always. Several are just kill them whereever you find them quests.

I may have found a nasty bug with torches creating more heat than forges and campfires.

That would explain all the screamers we have been seeing.

 
I rarely see them and I run around at night all the time. I will just out run them but I don't wear armor and buy one rank of cardio, and never let me stamina drop below 50 so I can sprint to get distance, crouch and then sneak away because all they will go to where I was not where I am. Then I can just creep off or throw a rock to get them out of my way.

I have had them spawn a lot around me during my early test games. Usually testing certain ways of playing so a lot of time I just have a ♥♥♥♥ty spear and they move so glitchy I can hardly hit them with it and I die, test over lel.

I mean when I am serious I never die, but it is so boring to level to test the next build, and I do not like using cheats. So I try and power through some quests and then just build a lot, because building seems like superior exp now.

The problem is that I am not finding the weapons I want to test, so I just have crap, so I do not want to do the fetch quests, because when I do, a mountain lion spawns, or a ninja feral black wolf spawns on me inside the house lol. Not sure what is up with that heh... it was a tier 1 or 2 fetch quest.

My lucky looter builds have the worst weapon luck of all. Lucky looter is almost maxed and after a while I finally found a 1 grade hunting rifle with only 14 rounds lol.

Trying to figure out a build I like for early game that does not bore me while I am trying to level.

Do not get me wrong, the game is really fun, it is a me issue with trying to rush to test builds with very little IRL time to play.

Fortitude Qol perks and a spear build have been my most fun so far.

I think I found the build the build that will get me playing the way I want to play, and that is archery. Good ranged damage and cheap ammo. I thought I might like a turret build, but have been unable to test it so far lol.

 
Day 21 Horde Night last night. MP server, pretty vanilla setup. 8 MaxAlive, Adventurer (default) difficulty, but we're on 120-minute days. There were 5 of us, ranging from 36 to 56 (mostly 50s) for GameStage, so computed GS was 149. We'd converted one of the antenna farms into a base. Lots of spikes, some barbed wire.

We were NOT prepared.

The Radiateds started showing up on the second wave, and the waves were 207 count, with 47 MaxAlive for the party. They did NOT make it to the building, but I think that was thanks in part to two of us actually having pretty nicely modded Junk Turrets in play with points in Turrets Syndrome. We went through well over 700 7.62mm and nearly 1800 9mm, as well as grenades, pipe bombs, and a whole lot of spikes. Was great fun. Horde was over around midnight, but given that we're playing double-length, not too shabby.

This time though, I want to build a bunker that's a bit better suited and get more barbed wire, less spikes. Problem is one of us stayed on after everyone else last night and ran a lot of the next game day or two out. We'll see; that's one of the reasons we run 120-minute days.

damn that sounds fun. wish my PC can run it lol

 
@TFP I have noticed that the first point we use on archery or tools or any of those handheld items including clothes. , well the 1 point we use on them is useless because it says craft faulty whatever etc... so then we spend 1 point on those skills and you do not craft better items because crafting faulty items is already your baseline so i think points are being wasted for no reason.
Click to expand...
They aren't wasted crafting is a small part of the perks function. That said rank 1 will get you orange in the next update or two.

 
It be an epic death. Drowning was like so yesterdays way of dying lol.. No I just don't like islands.
Click to expand...
Its easy not to drown, that is a choice. Driving into a radiated space at night? Not so much until we get invisible walls to block players or something.

 
Is there any plans to adjust vehicles speed or introduce mods that speed them up and let them go up hills better? Aside from the storage the speed changes are a bit underwhelming and its kinda funny that I can drink a megacrush and outrun someone on a motorcycle.

 
Anyone tried a stealth build? I've put 3 points into From The Shadows, I'm wearing leather hood, leather chest armor and leather gloves, no flashlight, crouching, i inch forwards in pois and I consistently wake up everything in the room.

Armor is your enemy. Put the muffled connectors in or wear cloth.

i think that the edge of the map could have like a ever dense green fog

 
I totally butchered the fun of it and posted the wrong image that had the word pumpkin in it, I wanted people guessing a bit.

It made my day, lame I know but every year I try to grow them irl and they never produce fruit. All my vines already died too. Got some honeydew though.

You already have those. I ran into one on a motorcycle the other day and went 2000 feet into the sky straight up. Just make it a feature where this happens if you hit the end of the world. Then you at least know where to find your bag!

 
Bicycling along roads in the desert during the day I frequently get a kamikaze vulture out of seemingly nowhere. Always attacks right away. My health doesn't matter, has happened at 100% more often than while slightly wounded. Is this working as intended?
