If any of the Devs can answer this.

The issue i have with lights is when you walk away from them they get dimmer then turn off and as you walk closer they turn back on

Has this been fixed or improved?

Lights turn off for performance reasons. Lots of active lights decreases FPS.

In A19: Lights now use a priority system, so close lights are updated rapidly to reduce visible jumps in their intensity and range.

Did we have the same older brothers? lol 

We used to have BB gun wars , roman candle fights and used to smack each other with big wooden sticks with bicycle grips attached to them for swords lol...

That's just how kids rolled back in the day.

Meanwhile in my childhood all we had were cap guns, which have since been banned. Lol Tree houses as well, on a side note.

According to my younger sibling, if you're in school and you're out on a hike with your class, the act of simply picking up a stick will get your parents called and the child sent home, with a possible suspension and staff meeting afterwards as well. At the rate we're going, simply looking at a stick will get you thrown in the slammer. Lol

I had a teacher who used the yard stick on kids fingers, hands, forearms etc if they pissed her off. One time she wrapped duct tape around this kids head about 3x to get him to stop talking in class.

 
I can confirm, older sisters will also beat the living crap out of you and hold you down and fart on you etc until you hit puberty and can over power them. Super vindictive and petty  too, the amount of random crap I was framed for is insane

That is how it is to save on performance. Lots of games do this, lights and shadows are expensive.

It's semi auto but... you can install more mods than in any other shotgun because you get all the ones affecting the feed mechanism and magazine.

Autofire + rate of fire combo if you want to go nuts. Or burst fire. With this one you can.

Having watched it in both dev streams shown thus far, while I initially agreed with the chat assessment in the first stream (seemed to fire slow), seeing it pretty much put down any zombies with 1-2 shots tops, even from 5ish blocks away...I was more impressed.  Eager to dive in and get some mods slapped onto one of those things along with all the good perks and armor mods to compliment it.

FWIW the rate of fire I was thinking/hoping for was akin to that of the auto shotgun from the first Turok game, if anyone recalls that.  Given how much damage it appears to be doing already, though...broken would barely describe it.

Concerning the question about corner blocks. I assume Gamida is asking about about corner blocks for "thin" blocks  (like wooden bars, wooden fences, poles, etc.). When you use these blocks to fill a corner, one block has to be inside the corner block area and the block for the other side of the corner has to be in another block area (or  on the outside). A lot of voxel/building games have corner blocks for walkways, railings, and thin walls.

Since A16, I've wanted a 2-angled plate for making thin walls so I didn't have to use the 2m arch for corners
