I like Stealth and I use it to lower the damage I take. I say this as a STR/FORT player.

I did, and I know it's getting better whenever Robert has the time and help he needs to do so, but what I don't understand is why it changed from the previous alpha so abruptly

In what way? Janky roads and cliffs have been in RWG for as long as I can remember...
In A19 POI distribute looks better and forest biome centralized to help new players and what I assume is a synergy with the new trader to trader quests...

I didn't found any on the 4 worlds I generated on Alpha 18.4, maybe they were there, but I didn't find them.

Yeah I love A19's POI placement, I'm just talking about roads and huge cliffs in the middle of them, I'll post a couple screenshots when I get home from work to show what I mean.

I don't post a very much but I would like to voice my opinion about A19.
The new progression system with the Stone - Iron - Steel ages is really awesome. I don't get why people are complaining about getting stone tools and weapons in every crate, box and safe. That's the point to progressively get better tools and weapons in the stage you're in. The game used to be over for me quickly because I would get iron and steel tools/weapons in the same first town. Now I look at a new game as this first city is my stone age city and by the time you've looted the 15 or so buildings plus all the zombies you've killed plus all the stuff you have built, you will be in iron stage of game and can move on to a new city, which will be the iron stage city and so on and so forth.
So, do I mind opening all these crates, boxes and safes to get stone stuff? No, because there are 100's more in other cities to open that will give me iron and steel later in the game. This was a brilliant step in the right direction. Way to go FP.

There are always two kinds of stealth...one where no one is alerted to your presence, and one where no one is alive to raise the alarm. You don't have to be all 'sneaky sneak' to benefit from stealth perks. 3.5x damage multiplier on crouch shots at an incoming herd at range, HELL YES.
Also the comments that @MechanicalLens and @Phoenixshade35 have already made.

By that reasoning books are inconsistencies. I mostly agree that the current system is "good enough" for gold, but what if you design new perks? Are you gonna clutter the hell out of 10 pages per attribute or are you going to just move the MUST HAVE ones to another page in order to make the game more interesting?
You reduced "needs" which is good. But make no mistake, if you mine you MUST perk into it because you can't even hold an iron pick for more than a few seconds. Isn't that perk a MUST have then? Wouldn't it be better to have it in that supposed "general" page along with tools, cultivation, schematics... etc? It'll still be a must have but at least you won't be trying to solve the squared triangle equation and you can call those perks for what they are : " must haves if I do X" unlike weapon perks that we can very well do without. No problem.

I just fought the day 21 horde. Intense stuff. 
I really need to stop stressing myself out like this.

Got few of these things in my seed, I like mine better than the one in A18 for some reason so far.
A small spike in the terrain(8x20blocks or near that), which I leveled and a bigger where the road goes up, made a ramp (a big one using wedges and so on). Looks good.
Not sure if every road should be connected with another, we have many examples, where roads end up near a mauntain villa irl, or in the dessert. Its good, man.
I really miss the bigass cliffs, like in A12 or early tho, that was fun
What happened ?I just fought the day 21 horde. Intense stuff.

It makes the Sniper kind of bad as a main weapon. I really want to use the Sniper but it has two gigantic flaws, one of which, is that it's freaking GIGANTIC and blocks like a solid 30% of your screen when using it even on high FoV. I saw a few streamers even specifically mention that as the reason they stopped using it. The smoke / bullet casing flying out when you shoot makes it really hard to shoot repeated shots too
Can we get the model toned down to like, 60% size or smaller, so it's more in line with everything else and doesn't leave you completely blind to attacks from the side of the screen when you are walking around with the weapon equipped?
>_>
This is literally the exact opposite of what you said when I was complaining about the Int tree not having an end game melee weapon lol. You and Gazz I believe said "Just use melee from a different tree end game" basically.
I'm still testing the Sledge and Turrets, but I kinda feel like Int in general is really a bit weak end game. Dual Turrets just can't output the damage of an Auto Shottie, but I guess you could just chalk that up to the Auto Shottie being ridiculously broken
I tried Stun Baton again but it's still terribad, and I've spent nearly the whole play through trying to test the Junk Sledge to find ways to make it good in handheld but it just isn't. It ragdolls zombies away without killing them, so you spend 30-45+ seconds chasing them around trying to tickle them to death while the junk sledge slides them around like they are on ice. Not even exaggerating, if you don't get the RNG dismember chance on a headshot,it's insane.
With a fully modded Junk Sledge with a burning shaft mod, and max Tech Junkie Perk and the damage buffs from the magazine, on the second hardest difficulty I chased a non-irradiated non-feral Biker around for about 45 seconds like a Benny Hill skit peppering him with junk sledge shots while he flew away from me
I mean, it's a pretty common sentiment that the attributes not actually improving your, y'know, base attributes, and instead being tied to gun damage is a really questionable system. Not sure about the rest of his stuff though, he kind of went off the deep end while I was asleep.
I agree that it's silly to lock how good you are at mining behind . . . how much shotgun damage you do. Especially if you don't use shotguns, it's just flat out wasted points. It would be very nice if the base attributes themselves actually gave something that's always useful on it's own
Anyway though, complaints about snipers the size of dump trunks and the Junk Sledge Complaints Round 45™ aside , having a blast in A19. The stamina and food stuff is bearable later on, it just requires a hefty change of play style, which isn't always a bad thing.
Part of my food issues are that I'm playing Coop with an ADHD Run and Gun Never Craft or Mine Ever™ player so I basically have to provide enough food for 2 people. I don't think the game should be balanced around multiplayer, but at the same time, the "Den mother" play style is a pretty popular one we miners get saddled with and it's kinda hard in A19 because of how many things are tied behind looting / quests like all the parts you can't convince a PUBG player to pick up when they are holding down W and M1 and not looting anything that isn't a gun or bullet
