PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

Heads up Mr Mad Mole, but i just noticed a pretty big streamer playing 7 days. Forsen. LOL. Big with the teens. 10k plus viewers. I believe it is his first time streaming it.

Ooo link please, I love watching first impressions.

Rocket launcher turrets seem like a good idea until a zombie breaks in and is right on top of you and the turrets turn to you.

LOL! For those who want a real challenge, try dodging zombies and rockets!

I think its this way already. I always grab a few ranks and perks from every tree, but one I specialize in and max out.

while some perks could be improved as you mentioned, I like what we have atm.

in my current game i wanted to get a feeling of each tree first, and only decide what i want to specialize in later on, once i know what is more fun for my play-style. so i spent my points evenly on all attributes early game, getting all attributes to 3-4 and picking the perks that i feel will help my strategy the most. I feel this method its supported, since the game start out easy and allow experimenting. i can already tell some were not optimal , but i don't feel as if i`m too weak because of it. so seems pretty balanced.

by the time GS is higher and a non specialized player get punished, i will prb already know what i want to max out and have already invested enough in it, to not get rekt.

so good job, thumbs up from me so far.

the only bad experience i had with a18 was when my entire reinforced stone 7x7 3rd floor roof garden collapsed, after i removed 1 wood block from my bedrock mine that is 30~ blocks under my house.

some weird SI bug ? luckily i had a recent save backup to restore to so i didn't lose much progress.

Would it be OP if all the crafting benches at the Trader were always in working condition?

Maybe the trader could rent them out on a daily or weekly basis until rng is in your favor and you find the schematics.

Stream already ended. I couldn’t watch more than five minutes. Nothing against the streamer, but the nonsense audio in there was nauseating. Maybe I’m getting old.

Kick all mods out during repairs and then the player decides what mods they want.

That creates an issue repairing out in the field with a full inventory tho.

Na bandits roll up in tanks.

Pickup trucks with mounted ak47s will work...Ala blackhawk down movie.

Hit the 4k total hours played on my main vanilla account

I have to say that this is BY FAR the best Alpha. I'm super stoked to see legendaries and bandits in releases to come. So glad the foundation/core of the game has been chiseled out and that the RWG is coming along nicely (and constantly being tweaked for the better). Thank you team TFP [High-five'z team].

 

[MrSamuelAdam]

Any specific reason you guys changed the animations for the club? Just feels a lot more clunky now :/

Too bad he is playing A17.4.

That's a bummer...or maybe a good thing. #OnlyRealMenPlayExperimental

I see, so after the horde despawns, one must agro any zed to restart BM?

Soundtrack and notification sounds in twitch is cancer in many cases, such as this one.

Not getting older mate,sounds sucked.

Though, I love how many people they have gathered and it looks promising, there was a guy who lost it and I really wanna see him experience A18 midgame and after

Yes, it would be OP.

I've always done 90 min days since I never seem to have enough time to do anything before it turns to night. Usually I'll explore, do quests during the day. At night I will craft, or mine or reorganize my resources, depending on my needs.

Yupp most players prefer the 90 min days. I just like the excitement that comes with 60 min days. No time to sit around and ponder, either loot or build your horde base before you got to rush home for night time. Next play through I’m doing always run then I might make it 90 min days.

 

[AtomicUs5000]

Here's another minuscule and simple request. Again, no big deal... just something I would prefer...

When using the shape selector, I think it would be best that when you click the shape you want, this selects the shape and exits the menu, as opposed to selecting the shape and hitting esc. It's just an extra unnecessary step.

Hated is streaming insane difficulty, dead is dead, everything on nightmare run speed, day 16:

Is anyone hearing their airdrops?

I am hearing them (and seeing them and having them mark on my map).

Has anyone had issues with planted trees?
When I plant trees and they’ve started growing they disappear unless I look at them in a specific direction. I can still chop them when I can’t see them, but it’s definitely a bug. I can’t try to give my specs if needed.

No issues for me. I planted one too close to my base, and the branches invaded my space. I had to chop it down so I could see my loot chests.

 

[Bubo]

Thanks Jedo

 

[Maynard69]

I'm seeing if we can add an option, I hate ADS lock myself.

That would be super, thanks for the answer.

Design fail. If inventory is full, just chuck all their mods out on the ground, to roll down a mountain and get lost? Plus wow, really? How inconvenient having to reinstall mods. Here's the solution: We don't do a damn thing aside from nerf trader loot and get purples dropping as intended and it will be awesome.

If you're doing something you know is going to drop your mods down the side of a mountain, that's a player fail, not a design fail. It's like getting an airdrop crate when your inventory is full. That a design fail? Nope. It's a dumb player move.

Try again.

I’ve found what I think is a big bug on multiplayer servers. Before posting in the bug section, I was hoping I could get someone else to test it. It requires 2 people to see it and I’ve reproduced every time I’ve tried it but I don’t want to waste tfp if it really isn’t a bug and just a weird thing on my server.

Person one is on a bicycle and runs over a deer. The deer begins to ragdoll & disappears. Bicycler gets off bike and there is no deer anywhere. Have player 2 come over. For player 2 the deer carcass is visible, right where the bicycle hit it, right where it should be however bicycler can’t see it. Player 2 starts to harvest the deer, the bicycler can see the blood spray of harvest but not the carcass, it’s still invisible.

I’ve used 3 people both as player 1 and player 2 and this happens 100% of the time for us. Oh it’s a rented, dedicated server & has happened on all versions of A18. Can someone else try this on another server so I can see if this needs reported? Thx in advance for any help.
