Interesting idea about the trader. Would be a nice way to give a hint about removing the two lower rungs of ladders.

But adding horde bases, even failed ones, is a bad idea. You practically invite players to take over those bases that just need a little repair and be finished for the first horde nights without any creative contribution.

Yeah, wouldn't want to provide something where a handful of cobble fixed it right up. And trying to show a larger base where 30 townsfolk huddled would be tricky.. but I think it might be possible to show a small one, maybe...

Here's a small 'tower' base I threw together, trying to show the basic idea of it, but also that it failed, and hopefully an indication of why it did.

(forgive the fugly, I'm no artist)

This is the error message, every time I hit "R to loot) .. and have no mods on this game ... yet. Hope this helps.  

And this is on a New Game w b177. using in-game .. RandomGen map maker.

Edit .. Copied from my post on Steam .. 

Both on Old and New Game .. Just Re-Validated .. Steam said 1 missing and reacquired it.Will go back into game See if it still does it.EDIT .. STILL DOING IT .. everything else is working fine .. Just when I try to loot with "R" to Loot All.

Have a separate box where you only collect your essentials and don't put any of that stuff into the general boxes. A bit more management but might work.

is not about collecting my essentials but about dropping my extras after a day outside.
say I usually carry 7.62 ammo and veggie stews. but after a day out I come back with also 9mm ammo, shotgun, some cans, drinks... If I can lock slots, I can drop my extra ammo in one click. if I cannot, I have to manually drop the extras or drop all the ammo and the manually pick up my stack of 7.62. same for the other items in separated boxes... which kind of defeats the purpose.

I think locking slots is essential for inventory management. I don't know if anyone has played Terraria before but you can lock\favorite any slots in your backpack which is an awesome feature for when you need to quick stack items leaving those slots untouched. Maybe a lock button at the top? Select your slot and hit the lock icon, not sure how easy that would be to code into the system because I'm no programmer.

 
 Walked out the door of our base house at dawn for the first time since upgrading to the latest version w/out wiping, hear a roar after descending the steps and turn to see a bear had spawned in directly behind me, emptied a full clip of AK47 (lvl 1, no skill points invested, had bought at a trader for 400 Dukes) with probably 2/3rds being headshots, before having to flee across half the town on a bicycle. Bear got caught up on the fence of the small junkyard POI, managed to finish him off with about another dozen bullets. 

 
I would really like for locked slots to be available. The mod I used has it and I miss this function dearly.

Use the store similar button and make sure there isn't 7.62 in that box.

Because kitchen sink features aren't a good thing.

Well see what the telemetrics say about that lol.  My guess is that everyone who knows the option to add the lockable slots back in will do so.

Good work on Bears. Those things are force to be reckoned with - fast, tanky and deadly. The other day I encountered one on day 13. I had a hunting rifle and double barrel shotgun and was feeling confident I can take it.  I scored one sneak headshot from afar and managed to pull of 2 more before it cought up with me. I switched to shotty and emptied both chambers. Bear is alive. @%$*#!. At that point I have like 50HP, so I start running. Oh good I can still outrun him. I took a breather poped painkillers and reloaded my weapons. Hunting rifle, shotgun...Bear is still alive?! I completely panicked as I was mauled to death and quickly tried to switch to melee to at least die swinging. I missclicked and equiped timed charge. Suddenly the bear has C4 atached to his head and is beeping. He looks as suprised as me. Second later he does not look anything as his head is blown off. Oh ok, there is another bear over yonder....I wonder.  Yep, it is confirmed, timed charges bear hunting is a thing. Now I combine it with my stun baton for maximal safety.

I just use a dozen wooden frames and a bow, but this sounds more fun.

Bears seem to be pretty bad at attacking frames for some reason, they get like one attack in every 20 seconds and are just flipping out and spinning the rest of the time.

 
Their are several other people on Steam that are having the same issue with "R" when trying to Loot All .. So something has happened to cause this ... Tried on Old and New Game .. same issue.

I did validate files .. 1 was missing per Steam .. it reacquired it .. BUT Still having the issue.

Everything else is working Fine .. except Loot all

Maybe try re-binding the key? Just a thought.

No way, minecraft has what, 10? I need every slot as is on my belt for efficient harvest. melee weapon, ranged weapon, axe, pickaxe, healing item, shovel, wrench, knife. I'm forgetting something but I need it :)

gear up for the task hand! it's fine though, I thought this was an idea you were pushing a couple alphas ago. Or maybe it was no backpack and having to depend on the tool belt itself and start the game having to do small specific tasks to start.

 You should revisit your bug report. You didn't include any of the information TFP needs to troubleshoot your problem. There are instructions on what information to include in the pinned post in the Bug Pool subforum.

No but that modded UI looks really good and he just threw away regard for 4x3 and allows a boatload of space. We were thinking of hiring him if possible.

I remember when 7 Days had 10 slots. I really miss those two slots.
