Mines is a bit different, Yours is just ammo from what I saw, I'm doing 90 something items, food, med, ammo, etc with all new recipes having perk requirements and localisation and new bulk craft recipes. The more the merrier ;)

i was merely saying to save ya time lol if you were. dont worry me if you make your own. I not big on having everything behind skills. some things to me are self explanatory and dont need skill etc. Like it be obvious if one has a over bundance of ammo to bundle it to save space etc. you have your ideas all is ok with diff ways..

 
Nonsense they have legs that are trying to walk towards a player and they are dead so they could probably float. Dogs can swim and I've often modeled zombie behavior after dogs.

I'm with you on this one. Running takes far more balance and coordination than swimming. ♥♥♥♥ even babies know how to swim.

I'd be down for some Water Moccasin snakes though. You got all the code already there, no new animations, and you'd just have to render them a different color and your set. Just make them super fast in the water for the heebies.

I hope some of the works could be done on the red sky/environment during Blood Moon. Finally swimming animations... no way xd.

And given that no thought needs to be spent on continuing to breathe it makes it that much easier and stress free. :)

 
would be nice tho if corpses floated. tired of shooting a deer just to have it sink 13 paces and being unable to skin it. as for the zombies, they could easily swim, expanding gasses in a decomposing corpse cause flotation, their movement to chase you cause forward momentum. I mean olympic speeds? nah, but regular swimming, why not?

 
Water is there for immersion and something to drink, we're not interested in advanced water gameplay. Its something we could expand on in the sequel probably. 7 years in development is way too long, we're finishing not opening up new tickets on pie in the sky fluff features.

I don´t like the water behavior atm, how it connetcts to buildings, the holes you can get when you dig the earth at the bottom, the lag from lage bodys of water. (My impression might be old, I avoid water atm)

I would like to see stuff in Water, like a sunken car, or a safe, perhaps a sunken house or a boat POI.

Or just reduce it to minimum.

For me whats missing is a Swimming Hall Prefab. Dont even know exactly why i want it so bad in the game.

But yeah, we and the Devs aswell are aware that Water needs some Work. If i understood correctly Madmole even said its not shippable with the current water System so things are looking pretty good that we have a better Water System before it goes 1.0

 
Congrats about your future little pebble man, have yours best moments together.

Hehehe thanks man. I was waiting for a rock joke.. it's nice to see that my wife is starting to feel the baby a couple of times a day now!

How you doing btw?

 
Enjoy the sleep while you can man, I've got a five month old Gronkling to deal with and it's quite demanding. I hear the first eighteen years are the hardest :-)

Yeah my wife and I have an agreement (might not have told her yet). She takes care of the kids the first ~18 years and I'll do the rest!

 
I want to submit an idea

Making several quests for the trader brings new dialogs and establishes a relation of trust. After several quests acomplished the trader will talk to you about a friend of him : a new trader. It can be a way to find more easily new traders. These kind of mechanic with NPC can be found in every open world and MMO, and NPC are less than a stupid robot that repeat always the same words. Sometimes it can be really hard to find a new trader. I think my idea is not bad.

That feature will be in A19.You complete a whole tier of quests for one trader and he will send you to the next trader.

 
I used to sell them at my last workplace, if you kept to few together they would be so stressed that they rather took bites of each other before the eating the food given to them. Put your hand in the tank and they would press together tighter then sardines in a corner. I gave them a defect molly fish once to eat and he basically lived with them for days until one finally for some reason ate him. :p The piranas were around 20 ish cm in size.

hahaha, yeah, I had an Aquarium with my neighbour and months after we got bored and decided to buy a couple of Piranhas to sit and see the carnage… we had to wait a few more months after that until there were only the Piranhas left and gave them back to the shop.

Wow... that's psychopathic. Maybe someone should lock you and your neighbour in a small room until you cannibalize each other, you know, for laughs :-/
