From Steam, when usually start the game it gives an option called "Show game launcher", from where you can go to "Clean game data", select all and hit "Clean" button.

Also, anyone else noticed that you often need to stay more mobile in POI's, always keeping in mind of an immediate exit strategy.
Some POI's have various types of "Dead Fall" trap rooms (Don't jump in but find another way in) (If you hear the floor giving away you have a half a second to run)
Some POI's have kill corridors and you should run back to avoid being surrounded (not very glorious, but if you play dead-is-dead, you'll understand.

Ahh see, running the dedicated server from SteamCMD so no GUI etc to do what you are describing. But thank you for the point in the direction of what he was referencing to.

Loving the Pipe Baton, man those animations are fun and fluid. I really hope it gets some dev love so it can be usable as an end game weapon with a steel variant or something. I know it's just an objectively worse club, but animations make it worth using alone. I just can't bring myself to spend perks on the stun baton perk line though, it just isn't rewarding even for someone using the Impact Baton as their primary weapon.
Perk points are way too scarce and the stun baton line doesn't really do anything for the impact baton besides 10% extra damage. When the choice is 10% extra damage for a single weapon with no other benefit, or being able to cook better food / do 10% more damage + other things with other weapons / jump a block higher etc, it's just a very lack luster choice for the baton line
I feel like a t3 steel impact baton that can use the repulsor mod and scale with the stun stuff would solve the "Int has no end game melee weapon" issue, as well as putting those excellent animations to use
@madmole Hey while you are here, and since you were the one in charge of the team behind the drone, have there been any thoughts on making the drone scale with the intellect perk line? Currently it gains nothing from investing in the Robotic perk or intellect, so a player with 10 Int and all of the robotic magazines and perks has the exact same drone as a level 1 player that gets handed a drone after spawning in
As the drone was originally marketed as the T3 Intellect weapon, it makes me sad. There should be a lot of ways the drone could scale with intellect without being damage focused or OP IMO, things like
* Increased Healing rate for the health regen mod
* Carry capacity
* Chance to not use consumable healing items
* Increased stamina regen near the drone for the stamina regen mod
* Get a second drone
etc. Numbers would have to be tweaked, but it seems to me like there are a lot of avenues that can be explored to make the robotic drone more special for the Robotics focused class

A better change might have been to have a 15-30 day period between harvests and (maybe) allow crops to be damaged in some way.
A19 broke farming so bad it was a joke and pointless.

Maybe your description of how to clear the install to avoid interference of a20 data with older stuff (in the 1st post of your "a20 official release date" thread) should be copied over to Hated's "alpha 20 experimental" thread.
Might avoid some unnecessary bugreports caused by that stuff.
And I also think the "a20 known issues" excel sheet in Hated's thread should be highlighted some more,
might encourage people a bit more to check first before posting stuff.

You are assuming people read posts or even click on the banners up on top. You should see General Support. Not even with a title of Read before Posting new threads do people read it.

Wait until you find corn seeds in them...will help augment the farming changes....

I rarely post. Everything is always said before I can comment and it just clogs good discussion.
Well done. Sincerely, this is the best performance I've had with my rig since I upgraded just before A19.
I love the gameplay as always and the new RWG is brilliant. New POI are amazing.
The performance though. I'm impressed.
I run on 1080p
On default Ultra, no motion blur, I'm still well over 60, running into mid 70s.
Shadows and all the frills turned off, 120 -130
The hitching seems to be lessened to an extreme.
I absolutely love this version. Best it's ever been and well worth waiting for.
My specs:
AMD 2700X
MSI RTX 2080 super
32GB ram
Thank you TFP team!

Getting wet makes you cold again. So glad to see this. I would like to see something similar to the smell system again when carrying raw meat in inventory.
Keep up the good work. Quite an amazing alpha this time around.

From what i can play, Its much better then A19
i raided a diner and if it was A19 i would have gotten a shotgun on day 1, but instead i get level 4 knuckles wraps. I LOVE THAT!
im going to keep playing and see when my PC will go Kaboom!

Yeah there is no way you can exclusively use firearms IMO, there just isn't enough ammo.
I think it's way too early to make any judgements about farming right now. Play a full 70+ hour game then decide.
Yeah always have an exit plan. I actually bought all the parkour perks for once and did some crazy jump falls to escape one situation.
We didn't want it to be OP and make everyone feel like they needed INT to play the game, or feel excluded from Drones. If it gets much better it will feel like a must have. Right now it's ok to haul a little more loot around, but it gets in the way so it's kind of a trade off which is how it should be.

Sorry, I have tried several times, but my mind always gets carried away before i finish to read your far too long statement (more than one line, dude please...)
Would you be so kind to highlight the important passages for me, or even copy it into another thread, so I might catch up the rest there?
On a serious sidenote:
Yep, I guess you're right. Would probably make absoutely no difference. Just one of my lalaland ideas that don't apply correctly irl, forget it.
