I think let the people do that quests or clearing the POI however they choose. You will never be able to fix every way of cheesy a POI, if I am desperate for a weapon, I will take the shortcut, Like I had to do recently.

Sorry, but this seems too much like a quick and dirty solution to me.
Why would a 100k hit point titanium wall be inside (e.g.) a family house to protect a special loot room?
Who put it there? Was the house repurposed by bandits as their lair? If so why didn't they pick something better and had to add such walls in a crappy house?
If there's no explanation as to WHY those special walls are there then yes, it's just a "I don't have time to find a better idea" - idea.
I get it, you just want some way to make going for the dungeon the easier/interesting solution... but IMO that's not the best way, both lore-wise and gameplay-wise.
You can get the same result by making the chest/safe a heavily reinforced one (e.g.: 20k) and then put parts of the code to open it scattered around the dungeon POI.

I use my shotgun to open safes faster than the best auger in the game. With the new lockpicking candy you are guaranteed to open on the first try. I'm not saying miner 69r isn't a great perk, it is. I'm just saying there are ways around it that are overlooked. I've already accumulated more cement than I will need on day 28, I've got my horde base 100% r concrete so I don't know if it was worth it. Only if I'm building a super big structure do I think I need all those perks. When we get trader hotels in you can finally be a pure nomad and honestly I don't think I'd mess with mining if I was doing a pure nomad build. A good impact might shred a safe pretty fast too if your maxed perception and salvage operations. Just saying there are other ways that are probably ignored.
I LOVE to build though, so I usually get miner 69r.
I just don't agree with that method. For traders, sure we don't want players screwing up the traders, but in a POI, maybe people want to blow the whole building up? Or maybe they want to grind through... that is their choice. Taking away their choice when it really doesn't impact others feels cheap. Maybe they lost the key card zombie and still want in there somehow... let them grind I say. If I want to use 50 breaching rounds to get in... my choice.

Wow, who cares what people you haven't talked to in a few years think? I happen to like your posts. If I cared what people think I'd have never done anything great.
Why? Because we say so. Its an abstract. Go try to bust into a safe IRL and see how far you get with a sledgehammer or pickaxe. I think we're talking about teir 5's not a crusty old house. We haven't decided for sure, we've shared some shop talk. What actually happens could be nothing, or sharks with laser beams attached to their headsSorry, but this seems too much like a quick and dirty solution to me.

Lol, now I imagine this meeting where you're asking Lathan to add sharks with laser beams to A20 and this is how it goes...
But now you have a new weapon to convince them... Knuckle Rubs!

When you guys get around to doing a Sledgehammer series of magazines, can the capstone be increased glancing damage? It's literally the only buff Sledge even needs, perfect for a cap stone.
Also, could you take a moment to talk about how Infection works now? I don't think anyone else noticed that it's working differently now.

@madmole since you are being so kind as to answer questions, can you elaborate if the Tech Junkie (The junk turret perk line in Int) was changed? Or do you still have to invest in int all the way up to level 5 before you can even get a single point in it?
I assumed it would be changed so you could start investing it at level 1 like every other perk, that way the player could have a chance to use the Junk Sledge early game, but in the stream on Friday Lathan didn't go over the perk which makes me wonder if it's still gated to being like level 10+, which for most people is week two territory

Is there any plan to change how all of the < whole blocks are placed, such as preventing pillars/plates from being able to float on top of one another or "stick" to the invisible sides of others? I know they're technically whole blocks and that's why they do it, but still the levitating blocks is really tacky looking. I'm not losing any sleep over it for sure, it's just one of those silly things.

Are there plans for a new design for Nurse zombie as well? she looks pretty bad now that we have awesome new zombies
Also, any new special zombie for A19? i think we should have more female specials, we only have the screamer against all male strong zombies. Also, black zombies?

You make it sound like a bad thing. That reminds me ....

One of the oldest bunkers is the one with a small shed out front, a colorful metal fence out back, and inside are a simple kitchen, pantry, bathroom, and a bedside/changing area with a gun safe at the back of that room. (I can provide an image if needed.) Is that POI still in A19? I want to settle up inside of it early on, just to tick it off my bucket list.

Will many/all of the new POI's in A19 be available as quests from the traders? (Ex. the ranger stations, the stores, etc.)
