Hey MM can you look into the Buried Treasure quests for multiplayer? I posted a thread in the other section of the forum but not here, so here it goes: I'm on a multiplayer server and it's a mad rush to do these quests by the masses. There are now holes all over the map. You can't drive a vehicle without falling into one and so many people (admins) have to go around marking and filling in holes. We need a way to eliminate so many holes. It's crazy. Maybe have these chests in non-populated small POIs or something.

 
Why?Corn - corn meal + pumkin + eggs + water = pumpkin pie

also

Corn - corn meal + water = corn bread

Simplify it just more?

Why is there no rice in the game? Or avocado or oranges or soja?

Next complaint: Why is there only one stew acceptable for vegetarians?

LOL you must be from the south if you use corn meal for everything. Flour is the foundation for a lot of what we use corn meal for in the game.

but as a World Renowned chef that I am (not) Corn meal is not Flour.

 
Normal relay consumes 1W, like usual, but all other electrical controllers, timed relay, pressure plates and switches consumes 0W (as they should)

 
the game needs a setting for the cost of the goods for the trader. This would be a logical continuation of the loot settings.For example, I want loot to be small, but the cost of the items found was high.

also need to add settings the RW gen. So that you can create a world without a trader. Many people would like to play without a trader.

You can just use NitroGen to spawn a world without traders.

Corn meal flour

Cornmeal is a meal (coarse flour) ground from dried maize (corn). It is a common staple food, and is ground to fine, medium, and coarse consistencies, but not as fine as wheat flour. In the United States, very finely ground cornmeal is referred to as corn flour.

Could most of the holes be from people mining the top layers of ore under the resource nodes and not just burried treasures alone?

I do lean more towards treasure though as this was a problem in A16 as well, maybe not as bad as it is now though... :/

Corn Flour aka “CORN STARCH” is used in making soups, sauces and fruit pies like recipes thicker when the water is at boiling point. it is also used to coat foods for frying

Whereas all purpose (wheat) flour on the other hand, is used in baking like cakes, breads, chapati etc.

Ahhhh haaaaaa so we do have a chef on our hands, I knew it! lol :)

P.S. Corn starch or maize starch is the starch derived from the corn grain. Not the same thing as corn flour. Corn starch and flour are two different types of ingredients used in baking. This is going way off topic now lol...so in the words of Forest G

I have been noticing 3-4 functional workbenches per city, on average, but 0-1 working forges. Or, for that matter, destroyed forges. I think there are more chem stations in the world than forges. I'd like to be able to use workstations found "in the wild" as opposed to always making my own early game or finding a trader with functional ones. Revisiting PoI's to use their workstations, and going across town specifically because that's where a working stations is adds to the charm of the early game. Scavenging and making do with what you find. So, more forges please.

Actually, this ratio makes sense to me. Go into a (real life) housing addition and check out garages. A significant portion would have a workbench of some type, but probably none would have a forge. With meth dealers, you would probably find a couple of chem stations in a city.

Because the game is set in Arizona and those crops do not grow well or at all in Arizona.

Seems like a good thing to me. Watch where you are shooting. I get tired of games with zero consequences and nothing at all to think about other than point and click to kill. That is what separates 7 days from literally every other game on the planet is the destroyable world.

Same concept with the sledgehammer when I'm all perked into it. If I miss the Z in a POI I end up smashing a hole in the floor. Then the Z falls through it and I have to go back downstairs to deal with him. Hilarious and awesome.

 
I guess I'll keep repeating the same quest 20 times before going for my reward in the trader then.


Performance issues are your problem (Unity's problem) not mine :p
Click to expand...
Its not about performance, (but performance does impact some designs) its a bad design to let players easily gut out a space below POIS or a whole town and let it fall into a sink hole. If it were just a single player game then sure whatever floats your boat, but its not.

Yeah it's just fluff we don't need.

 
Not complaining because it's fair change, just a question: do we get a perk (or the perk that reduces cost of forged items appplying to casings as well) that lower the cost of it? I mean, glue 5 >> 4 bones; gas&gunpowder efficient stacks etc.

Yes 20%, where it can apply.

We're planning some kind of chunk reset code we could call it after its turned in. I doubt anyone will be driving off road much once vehicles are balanced.

It was a way to get flour in the game without adding wheat. Limited resources, plus it would be one more thing to lug around, seeds to find etc, we need to keep it reasonable.

I see a possible strategy for future PVP..... *makes mental note*
