Feathers need a buff (finding more of them in nests) and I don't even like using the bows.
Compared to guns and ammo it seems like an unnecessary nerf.
On a 2 players game, we got over 350 x 9mm bullets by day 2 (we were mostly looting POIs). While finding almost no feathers around.

 
This apply to all tiers? I know the higher ones net more dukes but havent crunched the numbers yet.
No...I didn't think it through. Looks like only tier one is blatantly better to scrap instead of repairing and selling.

Maybe people will just think there was a DP after my name for that post....

 
1.6 gig update Funpimps? Really? Way to destroy someone's Available gaming time. Way to be inconsiderate to your a customer base where time is limited. Still waiting for a switch to turn off zombie digging and switch daylight and night time zombie behavior. You know 7 days to die not 7 nights to die.
Your poor scheduling doesn't constitute an emergency for us. Sorry for the 37 second wait.

 
Thanks Faatal, it is already solved, @ZombieSurvivor helped me solve it, I had a problem with the anisotropic filter of nvidia, it was running at x2 and I put it manually at x16 and it worked correctly, in the same way I thank you for the help
I would do what faatal recommended. He knows what the code is that governs this stuff, I do not. I would have told you to do the same thing faatal is telling you now on top of the AF fix but I forgot about this last night. :)

Edit: Damn AF 16x, highest I would have gone is 8x lol.

LOLS 1.6g should take what, 10 minutes? at most???? dude you need to get off or dial up or maybe alot more than 15 minutes of game playing time

 
Hey guys, i have just found a something not sure if it is bug so i am going to post it in here: When you try to place something on the workbench, like for example hay or wood frames, it disappears and when you try to jump on it, it does a high amount of damage to you, i found this when i was trying to jump from the woodframe on the workbench to the rooftop of a small POI. Is this a bug or its like that because of something?

 
I get what you're saying with 'pipe', but could possibly use a single shot Shotgun (or even make it 20 gauge instead of 12) for Shotgunners.Maybe a 2-shot 9mm derringer for Pistoleers

Or for everyone maybe a Shark Spear/Bangstick could be a fun one. Single .357/.44/12g shell at the tip triggered by contact.

Don't want to add new shotgun ammo just for primitive shotguns. Would like to salvage/keep the blunderbuss model for early game shotgun guys.

 
(Disclaimer: Went into fly mode to take the image.)
My day 42 horde base. There's no way I'll be able to get enough concrete mix, rebar, spikes, and iron bars made in time to finish the perimeter walls, however. :/

Excuse the brightness; can do nothing about it. It's a misty day. :p

Your screens always look washed out, is your gamma jacked up or something?

 
Experimental update breaking stuff and workaround

As of Alpha 18 b149 most of your stuff is broke. It seems to only effect the stuff you already got.

The workaround.

Make sure you got cheat mode on before loading saved game.

Once in game, press the "U" key. (Item menu opens).

Type in repair kit. (item menu shows repair kits).

Click and drag a stack of them into your inventory.

Repair all items.

Drag another stack into your inventory as needed until all items are repaired.

Close menu and game on! :)

Another one in the forum told me the same thing and I tried it but it didn't work, only when changing manually did it work

 
Given the current lootdrop rate, primitive guns are outclassed faster than it makes sense investing into them. (Getting a 9mm does not take long) They would need some more value and capabilities to make sense also later in the game.
Yes, if we add primitive firearms then we'd push out in the loot game stage the current firearms so you can't get them until level 10-20 unless you were really lucky.

 
Just wondering if there is any plan to further balance the damage on different kinds of weapons? Pistols only have 56 ish damage and feel a bit underpowered.
Pistols are tier 1 firearm. Try a magnum or SMG for more punch with 9mm.

 
Please explain "Pink items"

can they be at all tiers? for example can I find a Pink Tier 4 fireaxe and a pink Tier 6?

and does Pink apply just to tools or weapons, etc. ?

thats quality 6 full modded, so no not even close to ak47 :p , i dont know how much full modded ak does,but m60 does 86 damage with mods and magazine size of 121
You are comparing a tier 2 gun to a tier 3 gun that shoots 3x as expensive ammo. Its properly balanced already.
