If you didn’t start a new map for b180 the already spawned ones will still be lootable. Any new ones that get found probably won’t be. :p

kept an old save and nothing seemed to be broken. I gotta say im not a fan of that change, they look really nice as containers in general so i liked using them around my base for aesthetics.
In general id like better variety for max sized containers, the boxes can get a little boring

 
Ok, now to lift the spirits up: "A zombie walks into a bar..."  :tongue:

"Hey barman! A beer please!" ... "The barman drinks the beer and starts punching the zombie."  :peep:

now now, we all know that if a zombie stripper walked into a bar, some guys would still try to make a pass at her. <cough snowdog cough>

We don't want to turn this place into Covid Testimonial Time.

People come here to escape the world so let's leave it at this post and as long as people don't go crazy in response I won't pull it. Let's stick to pressing Madmole for future news so he gets tired of saying "That's A20" and decides to open the A20 Thread.... 

Like this guys:

Hey @madmole are the gamestage modifiers that will be added to POI's and biomes be done for like maybe A19.1 or A19.2? What about the random event manager? A19.3 perhaps?

Ooo, I have a good one.  Any more HD zeds for A19.1...2...3 or are all remaining pushed to A20?

 
MadMole

You posted a statement regarding too many tris or or poly on screen, in relation to the unity engine.

So, I did a test, and it may only be related to my pc, a19 pre stable. I adjusted the Grass to 1.0 for
all of the the biomes except desert. The result was visually beautiful, but it would kick out in the
Pine forest mostly.

It gave me a thought regarding zombies.  In the future can there be 2 levels of detail type zombies
produced.  The Top billers Moe, Joe, Steve etc.  Plus a Low poly low generic color texture, Fodder set,
sort of like the single digit Alpha Z's for random roaming, roaming horde, or 7th Night.

They would have low HP, Low XP yield, that can be used as a scenery and activity filler.

For them just use a general controller, sort of like a swarm AI. Distance based, like a sphere of influence.

Hi Faatal,

Are we going to be getting a fix for the ghost block issue with distant POI’s In A19?. I only had this happen a few times in A18 but A19 is horrible every time I load a game and leave a chunk it starts. I can re log to fix it but it’s ruining my experience and many others as well. I can also enter POIS in the console to fix it but then I don’t see distant POI’s, is there another command I can use to reload this?..... OR is this something on my end? I have a decent Machine with an RTX2060. I even tried completely nuking the game install and started fresh but still happening.

I have not seen that bug nor have I seen a bug report from testers. We would need a reproduction case to fix.

It's a tough one to nail down.  My brother has experienced it only once or twice during A19 experimental on our server and the only mods we are running are just a handful of custom POIs.  I was logged in when it happened to him and when I visited the vanilla POI where it was happening, it looked perfectly fine to me while it did not for him.  He streamed in discord what he was seeing and it was the distant POI mesh overlapping the POI.  Since the POI looked fine on my machine, it tells me its some type of client based issue...

Surprisingly, that did cheer me up. Thanks mate, I needed that. Last night a dog ate my face.  Now we're both dead! 

 
Hey,  @faatal , did you really speed up chickens or was you just messing with us? I was on a chicken murder spree yesterday and found them too slow for my awesome stone spear 😈  😛🗡️🐔 🍽️

I've got another one for you...

I remember when we had Hornets instead of voltures, but people said they were breaking immersion and "out of place".

They were wrong! You know why? Because they were Zombees!  :bounce:

Back On Topic... I'm reading on Steam that the general consensus (and my personal experience) is that A19 b180 is the best performing version ever!!

Congrats to TFP! Great job!  :first:

Vultures are the best... they are like air dogs, and even the Devs QQ about them on streams... Vultures are the best. 

I still want to try an agility build, but having too much fun on my str/intel build.  Going to start bringing 2 junk sledges with me to tier 5 pois, color them and call them by name. 

Plus I know the agility build is probably going to drag unless I go some strength first.

I honestly just used Paint 3D which came with my computer. 😛 If you don't have it, I'm sure a free photoshopping app/website exists. :)  But such engineering is beyond my capabilities.
