I thought patch B152 was supposed to prove purple weapons from the trader's inventory. Was that not the case? I'm on day 5 and seeing purple AK's and an M60.

no that change is still coming

 
@Madmole, was curious what your thought process was for choosing guns for each of the attributes, mainly STR and FORT. It would make more sense for STR to get the machine guns, no? I mean a M60 versus a shotgun.

 
The double barrel shotgun is just so fantastic.

ESPECIALLY once you find the "20% more damage to targets with full health" perk book.

"Hold until you see the whites of their eyes!" all day, every day.

I'm playing on always sprint @ nightmare speed, and I JUST encountered a biker zombie who saw me from across a field and ran full sprint toward me:

Hold... hold... HOLD...... *POW!* *POW!*

This gun is a Tyrannosaurus REKS

I haven't even found an M60 yet. Not sure my jean seams can withstand the excitement that will no doubt induce.

 
his system, it's an RX580 8GB with an Intel i5 quad core 4.5Ghz with 16GB of DDR3. Running at 1080p. Most settings on high (except notoriously demanding ones like shadows and reflections), post processing effects OFF. And this was in the forest biome. :)

I've got a one-or-two-notches-down-from-that rig and don't have those problems. The fps-okay-for-a-while-then-plummets symptom sounds an awful lot like thermal throttling. Maybe outdated drivers. Something's wrong.

Try backing off to 720p, it scales up nicely to 1080p for me, with these settings (i've switched to ultra trees since). With that nicer gpu you can probably do full textures and 1080p but they're not that much nicer for me, they don't carry their freight. The reflections and SSAO make a huge difference in lighting quality, nightttime is just not right without them. do `gfx af 2` on the console for now until they fix the defaults, 4 is a little nicer and some slower but 0 is uuuuu glY.

Why, thank you! After the horde I administered repairs, and have upgraded most of the inner walls to steel, and have capped over the two outside perimeter walls with a reinforced concrete/iron bar roof, with some hatches here and there to throw grenades down. Now to get the electrical systems working... Luckily, I purchased 5 shotgun turrets and 2 auto turrets from the traders the previous week.

Your base is massive.

 
OH RIGHT.... a thought I had... could you put T6 crafting back in the game for the primitive weapons, since you are probably never going to find a T6 on a primitive build, and the primitive crafted stuff does not have random stats anyway.
Like, stoneaxe, stone sledge, club, primitive bow, primitive spear.

Does not really matter I guess, but if you can not craft them, you will probably never see them in game. Would be fun for a primitive build.

i found a t6 stone hatchet in loots.. no sell price .. sad face lol

 
@MadMole:

Man, I don't care how busy you are, you need to watch this 7 days play starting at 32:20. Its hysterical!

(And it sounds like the spotlights need to cast further. ;) )

That's not my channel... just some random person playing it.

It may seem ridiculous, but little creations like these get really popular.

 
I'm doubt it. You can put up to a 4x on the AK though and have a pretty decent automatic sniper rifle.

Thanks for the info~

Hated had some on his horde night stream yesterday (and a damn fine horde night it was)

I hope Prime mentions his stream in discord again. I'm not usually paying attention to anything outside of that, and Hated's run has been entertaining.

 
on the topic of workstations

I have a mod that allows you to repair and pickup broken workstations to bring back to base. you could always do a variation on that.

or a dolly type tool that allows you to after finding a working workstation, pick it up and bring it back to base, 1 shot deal, buy the dolly from the trader? the dolly then allows you to right click on a working workstation which pops said workstation into your inventory? then follows existing placement rules.

here you go Adam, just for you

go to school, and you can become him too

 
Jack o lanterns might be seasonal, pumpkins are here to stay.

Please don't take away the Jack o lanterns.

Though for Christmas I want Zombie Santa Claus that always drops a sack of goods. A Christmas tree and every trap from Home Alone for my BM base.

We had a santa hat last year? maybe the year before I forget.

 
You should, he's right. Understand, I *HATE* math myself. But algebra is the one thing you'll use for sure. I mean, you probably don't even realize you're using it and you are. It is that kind of thing. =)

OH HELL NO!!!

 
Oh come on! You want to be associated with me! Deep down you know it. You want it. Reaaaaaally deep down.

Like, down to BEDrock? I'll have to think about it.

Unrelated note: Just got back from voting few minutes ago or as I call it "Picking the one least likely to screw me and others over but am sure it will happen anyway"

Canadian?

Related note: Your quote is what I think when I'm choosing my quests. :)

Perhaps a repair kit shouldn't be a stackable item, but instead a single item toolbox that you complete with components similar to a bike or vehicle.
The components included could dictate the toolbox's capabilities and it could function to varying degree's based on its contents, ie: on its own, the toolbox is like a bike frame and act's as nothing but a container. Add a wrench to it and it can can repair vehicles, add oil and/or a brush to it, and it could then also repair weapons, a soldering iron and its functionality could expand further to then repair electrical items as well etc...

It'd give a little more personality to the repair function, and its not too far off how a real toolbox works in a rather simplistic kind of way.
Click to expand...
I was thinking something along these lines. The repair kit is rather generic. It would be cool if you had to "load" the repair kit with the proper repair equipment in order to use it. It doesn't have to be a tedious, every time thing, but more like what you said where you kit it out.

The double barrel shotgun is just so fantastic.
Hold... hold... HOLD...... *POW!* *POW!*

My experience exactly. Double tap indeed.
