I'm going clubs this time around and I've been using an orange wooden club for the past 4 in-game days. I just found a T5 stone sledgehammer though... Never before have I been so torn on what primitive item to use, I honestly love it.

I'm loving A19 so far, amazing work by your team. Seeing the new zombie textures on twitter and even in some gameplay from the dev streams, I was not exactly sure about them. They look great, but seemed a tad out of place in the world (and probably due to familiarity with the old designs). Playing with them for myself though I don't get the same feeling and I have already grown more accustomed to them. Once the physics stuff the team was talking about is implemented I bet they'll be even more amazing so I'm looking forward to that down the line!
Thank you guys so much for all the work you put into this game! And for still bothering to interact with the community. I hope you guys hear 'thank you' enough to maybe make up a bit for all the 'make the game exactly what I want' and 'update console'. I'm excited to see YOUR vision of the game come to completion and until it does you guys have still provided a great game to play, and I have had many more hours of enjoyment than I paid for. I appreciate it!

I mean as zombies they're neither alive or dead. They're UN-DEAD. As in at one point they were dead, and they were resurrected with limited functionality and zero brain activity other than basic animal instinct to feed.

Yea its a shame they dont realize how magic RWG can be, but like you said, alternatives.
Ive said this probably 5 times already but thank you Damocles.

Not true. That statement is only correct and absolute for 4k x 4k maps. 8k maps can get wild
(starting trader at 2.5 km for example). Tested in a19.

I found a tier 1 steel club day 1 at trader Jen and I saved up the dukes to buy it. So worth it lol. Was it you that mentioned that icefire RWG map?I'm going clubs this time around and I've been using an orange wooden club for the past 4 in-game days. I just found a T5 stone sledgehammer though...

You mean quality 1.
"Tier 3 Quality one Tech 2 Alpha 19 Steel Brown Club for Men" is the correct term you are looking for.

Yep, it was me that mentioned the IceFire seed (remember, case sensitive as always lol)
That's pretty sick actually.
I got a bicycle on day 4 because the trader was selling all the parts, including the two wheels, all at once. Dukes are so precious early game, since the majority of items to sell are locked behind a later gamestage.I finally got a level 1 pistol in loot. I'm still in the A18 mindset so I almost scrapped it.
Performance so far seems..... equal if not worse sadly for me.
And an issue has cropped up again after a long time.
Why does the game randomly change its resolution to my Native one? (4K) I'm fully aware my PC cant run it on 4K, but it does that anyway and usually results in a hard crash.
And by this i mean, it changes itself from 1080p, to 4K between loading screens, when starting up, and even while playing the game itself. Sometimes i'd jsut loot a house, notice massive fps drop, and it'd change itself back to 4K.
How do i stop the bloody thing from doing so?

Performance is jumpy for me. Sometimes it's at 80 FPS and buttery smooth, other times it's choppy temporarily and is at 10 FPS. But hey, it's called Experimental for a reason.

Performance has been great for me. I can play on Ultra+ and get 55-60 FPS with the occasional hiccup. But since I tried my hand at streaming and recording last night, I knocked it down to High for stream quality. I’m new so I’m figuring out how to balance setting in the streaming world. And trying to find my “radio voice” lolPerformance is jumpy for me. Sometimes it's at 80 FPS and buttery smooth, other times it's choppy temporarily and is at 10 FPS.

My system is
amd ryzen 7 2700x
nvidia rtx 2070 super
16Gb ram
500Gb SSD for windows
2Tb hard drive for games

Not yet, I have only done pregen1 and Navezgane. I’m going to try out Mechanical’s RWG map when I get home this evening and see how it is

In my opinion the stamina cost with iron tools is a little too punishing. I'm currently sitting at Sex Rex 2/4, with a coffee buzz as well, and I'm still gassing out at around 9-10 swings. The iron shovel is peculiar though. It's a quality level 4, and I'm 3-shotting dirt, but after crafting a T4 stone shovel after getting fed up with my stamina falling constantly, I realized that it is also 3-shotting dirt. Hmm...
Edit: A crafted level 4 iron shovel has only +4 block damage compared to the stone shovel but with +6 stamina cost; truth be told, it feels like +10 stamina cost.

I've seen a couple ("Tranquitas" seed) , also big mountains below POI's.
Congratulations guys, 92% of recent steam reviews are positive!

If using sun shafts, try toggling it on/off when you get the dips to see if it helps or not.Performance is jumpy for me. Sometimes it's at 80 FPS and buttery smooth, other times it's choppy temporarily and is at 10 FPS. But hey, it's called Experimental for a reason.
You got ridiculed because your post was all drama and nearly no facts. You talked about a far away quest but didn't say how far away the other quests were. You didn't say if the trader was alone in the forest or near a town. You later mentioned another trader near a town but didn't say why relocating to that trader wasn't possible.
7D2D has lots of randomness built in. If you want to play a carefee game then there are lots of options available:
1) Preview the map, locate a trader near a town and teleport there first thing on day 1.
2) Get yourself a minibike from creative menue
3) Play navezgane or 4k maps. Less space means less distance to everything.
