I saw that and realized you NEED to invest your perks in intelligence and electrical defenses, otherwise you'll never be able to keep up with ammo. My gamestage 150 and day 56 hordenight saw me only using about 400 total rounds of ammo as a result. You get less xp, BUT you don't need to spend 4 days of the week mining and hunting for brass.
I think I agree with this. I have been playing around with the XP settings a lot and I notice the faster I level the more zombies start to bother me.
I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure a single point in Living off the Land unlocks ALL seed recipes. By Day 56, you can spare a single point. Hell, by Day 8 you can spare a single point. Schematics are often found in Trash and Mailboxes, and Seeds are often found in Trash too, so be sure to check all those when you're out running around!
Jax found something odd in a17, and I think it is still ongoing. Some animals spawn as invisible if I recall, and they only respawn after 7 days. That means you need to travel away from your regular area in order to find animals.
Although I mostly spoke about the end loot, I actually did take into account the loot along the way. It still is very little. For example, not a single firearm! In the hut next door there was an AK-47. Luck, of course, but still: you get maybe around 1-2 boxes/safes per floor, and you get more than that in a small house. One floor of Shotgun Messiah factory has ten times the zombies of a small house. But you are right about the experience: that was indeed helpful. As to later game stages, maybe you're right, I did it on day 7 (feeling cocky after the horde haha)
True, but still, you can't argue that there are less zombies in the world compared to older alphas (A9-A15). I remember playing CHS mode by Valmar, it was glorious, now that's A LOT of zombies, and it didn't have performance issues to be honest. I also remember when we had zombies spawn slider and when setting it to very high you had a huge amount of zombies. Can someone explain to me what is this "new encounter system" that keeps getting mentioned by some fellas on the forum? I know nothing about it.
The invisible animals are just dummy spawns to thin the horde, not some magical entity. They die on spawn and thus count as being killed (so wait for the respawn timer).
You are wrong. It takes an outlay of 7 points total into fortitude to be able to craft all the seeds. It should be the first point into it lets you craft seeds and the later ones increase the amount per harvest. You need something like 4 points into strength to be able to unlock granny level cooking which gets you the recipes that have a high enough value to offset the food poisoning that they will give you. 4% my arse.
Almost feels like a limited version of fallouts special stat system (or similar game system). For example, In that system, I think perception and agility governs accuracy for most things while there are perks associated in each to allow customization. I'm not saying the devs need to copy someone else's system exactly, it's just harder to innovate something tried and true.
Try to change the zombie hand range in items.xml.
Precisely. POI looting is a ton of fun, but the big reason I keep coming back to the game is base building and crafting. There's a reason 7DTD has become colloquially known as "adult Minecraft". Sure, it would be neat if they eliminated that phrase's existence by buffing the ever living ♥♥♥♥ out of POI looting. However, I feel being considered "adult Minecraft" with looting as a coherent addition is the holy grail. In my opinion, looting should take a backseat to base building and crafting. They can harmoniously exist together.
