I saw it and noted already. You know at least 10 people will cry with the removal of crafting the burning barrel. Can add to trader buy though.

Now that you mention it, it is tricky. Is it like a torch or is it a decorative element that can be added to the "misc" block? I think it should remain as a "furniture/misc" kind-off block , not as a recipe ingredient, because using a bit of gas and plastics instead is believable enough in the long run (for crafting the station) . 2 beakers are the real gate anyway.

Schematics for furniture/misc objects are also cool for further awesomeness.

Is the Burning barrel as a misc block that provides light extremely unbalanced ? Well that's the reason why I ask for misc objects schematics.

Edit: The schematics would be unlocking each item in the selector separately, like unlocking paint tiles for the paint brush.

<snip>Personally I love most of what The Fun Pimps do when in comes to this game...but....more quests before bandits please.

*tokes up and sits back thinking* I change my mind. If there are bandits, that would open the window to a lot more possibilities for new quest designs and greater variety of them. I'm down for bandits to come before additional quests are added or not, both ways work for me.

The Burning Barrel is a very good Thematic Light-source and Decoration, i would hate to see it removed.

However as far as being a Recipe ingredient... I'm fine with switching it or leaving it.

Yeah, the bandits open up a lot of possibilities. I'm hoping we end up with something that functions like STALKER: bandit groups randomly hanging out at different places, random missions to secure gear etc.

Its mainly concept art. I don't want to get people all excited for bandits when they are still a long ways off yet, I'd rather show stuff in the game and working they can get their hands on reasonably soon.

Decorations are worthless for fort defense and player progression, why gate them behind schematics? Besides we've moved to helpers to place a million different blocks, it feels like stuff could go there.

Speaking of concept art, is the new trader bob's post going to go into the game soon? And by new I mean the concept art that was shared of it from awhile ago for the A17 Concept art video. Also; are wolf companions also still planned or are they gone like the Behemoth?

Do you have to do a mo-cap session for the bandit A.I.?

Yes it is. I removed it from the chem station recipe, but for now it is still craftable. I think it could be nested under misc helper object or something.

The metal helper block might be a better choice for that, not sure though.

Trader outposts will be getting overhauled, but there is no guarantee it will look anything like the concept, but hopefully they can surround it with stacked cars and the bus models, etc. Each trader will get his/her own sign and Joel will no longer have a franchise on Bob, Jen, Hugh, etc. Companions are vaporware until we can do some planning around that. Most likely it would be a human IMO, since 4 leg creatures have too many challenges navigating a voxel world. I never take Dogmeat in Fallout 4, I go straight to Piper since she can shoot a gun and isn't quite as annoying as Dogmeat who won't stop barking. I don't care if there is a tin can there dude, let it go.

My feedback: Allow an option to remove trader protection. It adds a lot for solo and co-op games and for servers where there is fear that the trader will get killed they can keep protection. Think about it.... ;)

 
Any chance we might see copper and zinc mining so we can smelt our own brass? Copper could be used in a number of electrical items as well if it were added into the game (i.e. electric fences).
