PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

Seems TFP optimized RWG building speed by sending a ton of the work through the GPU. More than during gameplay.

Cleaned out my GPU and got past 15% Generating Detail Height Map without crashing.

So I've noticed that I can put a serrated blade mod on the knuckles and spear. Does the effect from the mod actually even affect those weapons? Says it causes a 10% chance to cause a Bleeding Wound on a regular attack. Can't say I've noticed it proc though.

Yeah, there are a couple of these scenario's (it's not just serrated blade mod's) I'm not sure if they are intended or not, or if their effect comes into play though.

MadMole I've been doing Keto for a couple of months but I cheated...A lot.

In your diet there is some cheat-day? Also, what do you do went you want something sweet as a dessert?

Been on keto for over a year...no cheat days. Erythritol, stevia, and xylitol are great for sweetening without the carbs. Been making keto pizza, bread, and desserts that are not a compromise, they are really good (with the right recipe). The hardest thing for me is potatoes...there is no substitute that I've found. Caulliflower is not potatoes, don't listen to anyone who says it is just like it, they lie. I've also been vegetarian for 20 years so potatoes are my meat in a way. Fries, hash browns, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes.....mmm. Keto is way easier for carnivores I think.

What I do is get mad and take it personally. F@&$ sugar, F@&$ advertisers trying to make you fat. It’s a battle of willpower, it’s me against them, and I’m not losing, period.

 

[DaVegaNL]

I’m still having trouble seeing nitrate, does it pop up above ground like lead, iron , etc

DaVega! Help!

I'm here for you buddy! What do you need?

I hope it's not like last week; you being stuck in that awkward position... that was a lot of explaining i had to do to the police!

I agree it could be considered as a tier 1 instead of the blunderbuss. But in that case, what would be a T3 shotgun ? Maybe a shotgun with a better range and a larger capacity, but not a more powerful one I hope... It would be totally OP.

a military type auto assault shotgun. after all, top perception is a sniper rifle, top fort, an m60. so it would follow a pattern

It's waaay easier for us, yes. Cause we can eat every meat (0 carbs on meat)

That's a really competitive and aggressive way to see it.

The issue isn't the pump but the double barrel that is a terrible T2 weapon in comparison to the rest.

And again, with the pump, it's not a bad weapon It's never been a bad weapon, It just often feels like it doesn't hold up to other weapons of the same tier. Often I feel like the only advantage it has is the cheaper ammo cost. That said there was a recent buff to the fire rate bonus from the skill perk I haven't played with yet and that may make a huge difference. one of the biggest troubles with the pump shotty on higher difficulties was it's slow firerate was too punishing if you ever missed or got a "glancing blow" The perk change may help significantly

 

[Seraphimus]

Not quite there, yet. It's going to get a buff... but not in DPS which is what many consider the only useful stat of a weapon. =P
It was designed with a heavy crowd control component and due to animation shenanigans and a too generic approach to stuns it didn't really do that.

This... this is all I wanted. Damage wise The shotgun is great, especially if you can afford slugs , but It didn't feel like it was hitting the niche it was built for.

Keto, like a ketogenic diet? Yeah you can't cheat on keto or it won't work. It causes your body to start burning fat instead of carbs, but that's not a normal state for it to be in so it takes a lack of carbs to make it do that properly. but If you have carbs it'll reset and you have to start over essentially.

Basically you'll just wind up feeling like trash all the time because you're body is trying to adapt to keto but when you eat carbs it resets and starts over.

I'm not Madmole but I'm on keto. First off, do not cheat at all for the first month because it can sometimes take over a week to get your body in ketosis if you don't fast. Second, wait at least a month before incorporating cheat meals/days because that's how long it takes for your body to become keto adaptive. If you do cheat try to keep to once every two weeks. I do a month and it's generally lots of fruit and healthy carb sources.

As for deserts I make keto donuts, jello, cakes, hot chocolate, etc. There are keto desert recipes all over the internet or if you don't like to cook you can always buy some from the store (stay away from Atkins stuff those because the sugar substitute they use has been shown to raise blood sugar; kicking you out of ketosis)

Once your body becomes keto adapted you'll never be hungry unless you work out. Some days I forget to eat! Right now my biggest problem is sleep, some nights I only get 2 hrs. Keto can cause insomnia so just be prepared. But you'll have a ton more energy so you don't really feel it.

Also cracklins are your friend.

Sucks but Xylitol just recently has been shown to spike blood sugar. I stopped using it and switched to allulose. It's also the closes/best tasting to regular sugar in a substitute I have ever tried, and I tried them all.

Ok, then I've been doing everything wrong, I cheated once a week since day 1 .

stop running around in a circle... you'll find them

push for a19. anything can be possible.

I hope so its already in game all be it in the CM. so it should be an easy addition. I will remain hopeful

in the mean time I have spawned in a stack (500) of each block type to ensure I can use it on my play through because it is a difference maker

 

[ZombieSurvivor]

Thanks, haven’t seen any yet, Day 30....

I found nitrate to be the hardest resource to find in the game right now. I've only come across a few early game. I've learned to mark those spots on the map to come back to later

We've been doing keto for 3.5 years now. You don't really fat adapt for several months, so there simply is no cheat day.

There are plenty of keto dessert and fat bomb recipes, and several Facebook groups that share keto recipes.

 

[Gareee]

The hardest thing for me is potatoes...there is no substitute that I've found.

Try fried radishes with onions for home fries... I've alwayd hated them, but fried they are a lot like fried potatoes.

We use liquid sucralose from Amazon, sweetener wise. (Its what makes Splenda sweet.)

Yep, took me forever to find a deposit in my first game in Navezgane, mainly because I insisted on finding one in the forest biome, but they're out there. I was recently on a server where I found a triple node deposit in the desert, enormous deposit of course, even though it is rare in that biome.

The best is when you're digging either coal or nitrate and find a deposit of the other attached to it.
