Faatal, RE A18.3 b3 exp: could you please take a quick look at the text for LCB as it's half the size of the rest of the text in game and too small (perhaps because it extends to 2-lines)?

A18 ~100 hours additional feed:
Leveling:
- 1.05 multiplier is too steep, limitting leveling to ~50lvl. Played with 1.025 - too low. 1.035 should be fine.
- many useless perks - animal seekeing, walking on mines, sprinting etc.
- too low benefits from armor perks
- useless bonus in machineguns - stamina is useless is ranged anyways.
- skill in using tolls/weapons and skill in crafting tools/weapons - have to be different things.
Books:
- add signs if you've already read this practicular book. Every time i have to make IRL note with all books and sign out for not buying/using book i've already read...
- the same with schematics
- add some cumulative effect for books series, as it was in Diablo for armor sets: more books read = more bonus effect. As it's common that you can't find 1-2 volumes to get final series bonus.
- penetration should be added to magnums in stock as a "selling point" feature, as with so limited clip, rate of fire and stability it's almos useless.
- bows and crossbows needs improvements to compete with firearms
Crafting:
- crafting hi-level gear take more parts, but scrapping hi-level gear don't give you more parts.
- steel tools... need schematics, when you FINALLY manage to get it - no steel parts for crafting... means, almost all steel tools are looted/rewards and not crafted.
- where is barbed wire recepie? still finding it on fencec on pois, cant make myself...
- special ammo is too expensive in resources
- strange mods item-level limitations: item lvl.3 in fact = lvl.4, as the have the same mod slots (lvl1=lvl2 too).
Looting:
- too many canned food, empty cans and bottles - making hunting and farming not useful.
- always thought clothes loot in desks is strange - should be bookeshelf loot.
- car engines in POIs are scrapped by wrench into ... plastics? really?
- too low zeds item drop chance. Make drop great again! I mean, something like in A.16 - not so good drop but more often.
- need more tool / weapon parts in loot
UI:
- already known books / schematics icon
- hanger / thirst always on display option

In reference to previous post made by Urtz.
- Something has to be done about leveling, it seems to take a bit too long after finally reaching lvl 50. Completely agree.
- Some of the perks should be merged together to be actually viable. Animal seeking could be merged with harvested resources from animals etc.
- .44 revolver seems fine to me, penetration could have been a thing with this weapon since day 1 same as with 7.62 weapons.
- Bows and crossbows cant compete with firearms at any point.
- Steel tools schematics make such tools almost impossible to be crafted, far easier to loot them.
- Far too many canned food especially while space is kind of limitted in single player mode and more new stuff has been added so...
- Make drop great again and double the chance or make more lethal enemies dropping more often.
- UI should be pretty much as functional as in SMX mod. Hunger and thirst visible optionally on display alongside with body temperature etc. Option to sort, move items by one click from backpack to the chest where similar objects can be found etc.
Am I the only one who doesnt have visible possible rewards after completing tasks from the notes at traders?
Something came to my mind and partially the old weapon leveling system could be implemented back at some point. For example, on the basis of bullets shot/zombies hit - hip fire accuracy and even range could be gradually improved by 2% up to 50%. Same with reload speed on the weapon that could be based on the number of mags changed etc. But such changes would probably nullify better stance perk. Id rather see the damage pattern unchanged except for bonuses after scoring a headshot. Ammo type should impact damage and penetration and slightly weapon quality itself.
Weapon perk feels like should be completely separate and drive through all ammo types, so at the end of the day would be easier to determine what suits a player better, give deeper sence of progression.
Id rather see no stamina perks, only running endurance perk perhaps. Id rather see combat in which stamina problem is no longer an issue, so the zombies could rage more often. Make running and jumping to take more stamina, less absorbing while fighting with malee weapons and cycling, or make stamina regenerate faster. Idk.

One more thing i've forgotten:
- weapon/tools comaparison and stats. With new random stats system on tolls/weapons you always have to compare the thing you have with things you've found. The trouble is, your thing's stats are always shown with all mods, so you have to dismount all mods before you can see clear stats. So, we need both base item,s stats plus moded stats (i'd add modded and with all perks affected, but it'll be too good).

And a thing about RWG.
though I generally like new towns and water borders kinda more logical, but...
- when asphalt roads are more or less fine (but sometimes should be smoothered), gravel roads are often broken: strating and ending in nowhere, crazy altitude jumps...
- large flat but extremely bumpy areas, where a bicycle ride becomes a trial attempt. IRL this can't exist. Needs smoothering.
- trading posts density. Can be 2 posts on a borders of one town and can be no one post on a quite large area.
- needs some logic and restrictions in POIs placement: military bases, barns, crop fields, junkyards etc should not be in town borders. On the contrary, why are trading posts are in the middle of nowhere and not in towns?

Font or localization question ?
Hello everyone I came from Thailand or Player in Asia and I'm Admin server game in Thailand I have question and problem about er.. Text or Font something, Cause we have many players in Thai around 50,000 players play this game please help .
Question
- After update alpha 18.3 I heard about alpha 18.3 have new update localization in current support only 13 Languages I can not type message in chat game with Thai language or Thai Char anymore, they change new Font so pretty cool and my question is in future can we write message different than localization 13 Languages ?
- Can we name Steam profile with Thai character or different other character ? cause when we set name like "ผมสบายดี" or "ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ !! IS" in game our name not show on Score bar, If we don't know player name the problem sample is many stranger players with incorrect name like "Єᵒlᵒ™" connect in server and we don't know about what are their names ?
- From both on top 1-2 question If game not support other localization like (Thai language) can we adjust Modlet font in game ? Cause I want to change in chat system and player name I don't know how to change maybe in code game is hardcode.
- Main current localization 13 language very important for localization, Have any way to support TH= Thai localization in future ? because we have many player in thai and big community, I want to improve is it possible.
If this issue is ridiculous you can remove any time, Thank you

For Devs:
Has the event gamestage calculation changed since 18.0 b155? If so, how. I'm having problems with the diminishing value calculating negative gamestages as part of the total event gamestage calculation for a group.
I would not expect diminishing to include negative results.

RWG roads are a known issue. RWG in general was almost completely broken in a17; a18 it's usable but the gravel roads and POI placement by gravel roads are still rotated wrong, and the biome distribution is on an always-same pattern. It's better than it was but still a work in progress.
