have to admit, that was a lot of fun. Was great to see the developer gods slum with us mere mortals LOL.. Can't wait for the other "exposé" nights.

Very cool, thanks for the share!

I plan on taking heavy inspiration from one of Madmole's bases for my initial compound. ("Castle Madmole.") It'll start with a simply 9x9 or 7x7 tower with me shooting down, but by the third horde or so I'll carve out a doorway and insert a vault door on the bottom floor, where I'll be holding the zombies back. If they overwhelm me there, I'll fall back to the second floor and exit through another vault door. Between that tower and another similar tower will be a bridge, and the design will repeat, maybe with some variation. I'll be going strength (clubs and shotguns) in that world.

For end-game in that playthrough, my final design involves a concentrate location with a wall of vault hatches, and with trenches funneling the zombies to that location. Example:

View attachment 10094

Following that world, I'll either move onto Fortitude or Perception. For my first world I'll be settling in the forest biome, but in my next run I plan on doing a little more roleplay, perhaps settling in the newly reimagined burnt forest biome.

If you can add some sort of electric fence posts embeded in walls and make them dance is cool, but what if a demolisher or four get into this small  area.

I like that challenge in so many ways. A symmetrical base with 4 entrances, such as this kind and lets see what they will do to us. It is always great.

Thankfully duplicating vehicles has been fixed in A19... I loaded up my motorcycle with all of my sellables and over 200,000 coin, I drove over to the trader, and then when I got off my bike, it was gone. I ran back to my house, and it was sitting beside my base... empty. I repeated this same process over 6 times now. My motorcycle is toast, basically. 😕

Have you EVER, in that playthrough, had multiple motorcycles? Because, if you lost one earlier that was empty, and now find an empty one in the wrong place, the empty one might be the original empty one, not your fully loaded motorcycle getting emptied. I bet the one with full storage is still somewhere. Best wishes good luck.

Also, could you have arrived early at the trader, and gotten teleported away from the wall when you got off the bike? because when that happens the bike does not go with you, and it's very disorienting.

 
Heh, well I'm glad it worked itself out. I was trying to be optimistic for you because, in my experience, it seems like most of the time they do come back. After causing a bit of a panic.

Eating candy is a worthy goal, I shall adopt it as well.

I'm curious, what are your thoughts on the design of the auto shotgun?
Click to expand...


Yeah, it was definitely a lot more bulky than I expected. Like I said earlier, I  basically just assumed it would be an AA-12 since it's what essentially every game uses for the automatic shotgun, but I found it fine over all. Looked more like a Borderlands gun than I expected, I'm not sure what RL gun it's based on

The vehicle glitches got ten times weirder than that. Me and a friend were flying Gyrocopters and I ran into him to try and boop him out of the air, and it instantly put the game in a load screen. When it finished loading we were across the map on motorcycles, in a town we had been in like 5 real life hours earlier.

Only thing I could figure was it registered the last time me and him had bumped into each other on our motorcycles, and when we collided hours later on Gyrocopters it took us back to the last time we had triggered vehicle collision physics.

Was super weird, we got two free motorcycles out of it  that were exact clones of the bikes we had at the time, and after driving 15+ minutes back to where we were flying, our Gyrocopters were crashed on the ground like we'd just teleported out and they fell

HOLY FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER, do you know what this means, good sir?? You have found a way to travel back in time! We can go back, and prevent ALL of this!

On the other hand, please don't. I like this game. :)

You need two DeLoreans to collide for that to happen...

Auto shotgun is based on the saiga-12.
