You can still "load up" while your bars are filling. On the left there is a countdown timer that shows when your bar stops filling. If you get to full Food or Water prior to the respective counter reaching zero that counter will pause until your next point of hunger or thirst registers and it will tick down by one.
Its most notable when you are standing still and not in adverse weather (basically using the least amount of Food or Water possible).
So basically just spam food or drink to get the counter higher than you need and you still have your buffer.

the overage is still there - if you look at your buffs in the left corner you will see a number that slowly counts down. looking in the stats window you get the description of 'Digesting'
Muskets.
The blunderbuss is a shotgun style weapon. Musket will be a rifle and there might be a flint lock pistol added as well.

Joel likes fallout (i believe i saw him say that he was playing fallout 4 a few months or year ago) so i'm pretty sure they will be similar to the ones in fallout 4. Which honestly I don't mind, if TFP makes them better and more useful lmao.

hope so too!
maybe it could uses normal bullets or "Makeshift ammo" basically that ammo is what the blunderbuss uses and could be a general term of ammo, basicly its cheap, easy to make, Unsafe, but it works!
the Blunderbuss could stay the same but could look more makeshift!
im drawling some stuff right now!
Edit: NM i gave up!

This is it. The thing is, it's kind of frustrating to know that you're only gonna get stone crap in every loot box. Why even loot it during the first days then? It would be so easy to add a chance to get something else. Even if it's a small chance, it's still a chance, so it's not so predictible and downer to loot POIs early on.
Heck, I'd rather get some iron ingots instead of two useless stone shovels in every Working Stiff's box.

Thanks. It would be great to see real muskets in the game to and not just these pipe rifles.

So since I had sexrex maxed and extra points in my multiplayer game, I decided to try my spear throwing build.
With 5 points in perception, a tier 4 spear and 3 in the spear skill I still can not 1 shot a basic Zed with a throw headshot on nomad. I hate it. I hate it so much lol.
Not only that, but I tested my melee horde base again. You can use spear melee if your base is only like 3 high... although you can tweak it to make it better with plates or smallish ramp type things around your base. You melee down at the horde from the top of your base which is relatively safe other than the dangers of having your base only 3 high.
It was not very good though. I had a pretty good steel spear and it was just not very fast or fun. I ended up mostly shooting my blunderbuss. I will test it a little more though... if I used blocks higher than plates around my base my range might have been better.
I want to like spears, but so far I just hate them. The throw is wonky, pickup can be wonky and you pretty much need to go sexrex before you can start throwing them, making specializing in spear throwing a somewhat later game luxury. Then just do not seem to get much better than how they are at the start of the game with no points in them, heh.
Maybe an improved melee horde base will make me like them, before I respec lel.

Improvised rifles made from basic materials like metal waterpipe, wood boards, bed springs, tacks, nails, etc. Fallout 4 is an okay visual reference with their bottom tier weapons though some of the mods for that game do it allot better.
Depends on if you etch, cut, or shape the bore of the pipe (or pipes in the case of using pipes that have been sleeved into each other, helps with handling barrel/chamber pressure) in a spiral or not. Could always hammer the pipe around a sturdy hex nut in a twisting pattern for crude rifling (probably not the best idea, mess up the twist and you've turned it into a Darwin bomb) or run a coarse threaded hardened screw down a heated bore.

The more I see, feel and caress the game, the more I realize that those perk gates that you were talking about in the streams aren't really needed because you guys have quite a big number of ways to balance the perks' results/outcomes without ever touching them (through loot, player actions, spawns, diseases... etc). That is a solid organic design that I don't see much in other titles. I would offer my congratulations, even if somehow in your opinion the perk system needs the fewest of tweaks.

Really? From the .22 to the howitzer to the battleship cannon is referred to as a gun.
