It would, but we're not talking about raiding bandits bases. We're talking about all the POIs there having better loot, just because.

Both. Earlier in Summer for experimental and later in Summer for stable.
There will be lots and lots and lots in many different languages 2 days before A19 experimental.

As Madmole has said, the nukes dropped and killed everyone and then the zombie virus came along and did more damage.
In the End it doesn't really matter.
We play a game where we melt stones into cement and handle 2.4 Ton or 5000 Pound blocks of concrete like they are nothing.
Does it add value to the game and is it fun. Yes/No
A little story.
No one knows exactly what kind of nukes were dropped on that day but our one remaining scientist suspects they were Cobalt-60 nukes or salted nukes were used due to how long the rads are stay around for, even now years later, it is not safe to stay for long periods unless you have a bunker of some kind with decomtation gear in it.
We have to avoid the glowing zombies, the crazy bandits to find the precious items of the long dead owners stashed in vaults and safes.

Because bandits like to plunder, kill and rape, they are not good at scavenging and they prefer raiding to scavenging by a long shot. Why search for that stuff in rubble for hours if you can just take it away from the scavenger? It actually would take hours and days of hard work to search a half-collapsed building, just look at news reels after an earthquake. Not the minutes it seems to take in the game.
There never will be an ultra-realistic AND fun environment in 7D2D whatever you do, somewhere you have to apply doses of suspension of disbelief. I can easily find realism problems in your scenario as well as TFP's. And always there is an explanation that works if you don't scrutinize it too much.

This was basically the idea TFP had since the Kickstarter back in 2013 lol

Option 4
Use a poi building, I prefer a multi-storied building made of concrete with staircase. The partiality destroyed ones are my favorite as they give more shooting advantage. It is a common poi and a good one as it can last multiple horde nights with minimal repair. One stack of concrete to make choke points and repairs and boom your done. I shudder at the thought of horde night at my base, that is where my stuff is.

is it sad to say the run animation back in A1 is better than A18...

I've never played Terraria. A blood moon is a real world thing, we just fictionalized its occurrence to be every 7 days and it makes the zombies go crazy (People have often acted funny on full moons forever)
Maybe, depends on what we do with doors before gold. Locked doors are intended to be a blocked path that is useless right now. Maybe down the road they will be "jammed" so "locked" ones can be picked.
And people call me a noob lol.You're kidding me? There's an autosort button? When did that get added in and how have I not noticed?
Just the other day on this forum, someone was @%$*#!ing about there not being a way to sort your inventory
But it doesn't tell you if its the ceiling of the floor you are on, or in the floor of the floor you are on. Sometimes I think it got mixed up.

“Pitter-patter, let’s get at ‘er.”If that was a Letter Kenny reference, +1 rep.
It is.
Parts are more common. I crafted a blue auger around day 50 something.Good news that 'parts' will be more common in A19.
Not sure how/if the UI would handle it, but is there any way that we could choose to craft _lower_ Tier items?
Like when you buy high enough Int that you unlock Augers/Chainsaws, but you can only craft the highest Tier, because you're highly spec'd.
Both recent playthroughs I haven't had enough parts to craft an Auger when it got unlocked. I had a few Motor Tool Parts, just not enough for the high Tier.
Just my .02 cents but having an option to 'down-craft' might actually be more of a conundrum than current single option.
Example: this playthrough I was really jonesing for that auger. Think I had 9 parts but needed 12(?). Finally looted a green chainsaw. No-brainer, scrap it & make an auger.
If the option had existed to craft a lower tier, I likely would have done so, then would have regretted it upon looting that green chainsaw...out:
Would also add a wee bit of 'non-critical' complexity. Say you have 18 Steel Tool Parts & have spec'd to make blues; which take 15 parts(?).
Some might decide to down-craft two greens at 9 parts each(?) instead of the one blue, since one of those greens might have high enough stats to be 'better'.
Yep, I'm buying up all the canned foods I can late game so I can make the +40 max stamina food for mining and combat. Chase it with black strap coffee and you can power attack the crap out of zombies.I think a thread existed a while ago with TFP seeking suggestions for higher-end recipes using canned food? If so, not only will the reduction of canned food in vending machines be a thing, but you may want to save your canned food for later on, encouraging early game cooking and mid game farming. Interesting.

For now. We are working on a new corpse like crawler with his guts hanging out.A bit late to the party I know, but I'm loving the makeover of zombie Steve. He looks like a new man--er... zombie.
Before:

After:
View attachment 9741
Just a question... Is the crawler zombie (aka crawler old Steve) remaining?
Yes I will start videos soon.
I did all the animations back then. Brian and team are much more talented than I am, but it takes a while to get to everything. For A19 we've added some hand movement to the off hand on one handed weapon holds, so when you run with a torch your left arm will jog instead of being completely stiff. There still might be some stiff old anims though, but we did prototype a successful fix for that particular issue.

How about cutting the texture resolution of all zombies by half, and adding 4 times as many (including old models) zombies into the game.
The enemy variety is really repetitive. And if you have the old artwork, why not use it. Its not that players observe zombies up close anyways.
