Y'know, as someone who just got done playing with my FPV drone outside, an FPV mod / mode for the drone could be pretty neat. The technology is actually already in the game too, with the camera systems the player can go into to look around with.
An FPV option for the drone would let you scout out rooms / areas and check the top of builds etc. Not really tremendously useful or OP or anything, but neat

Or when you hear a dog growl on day one and you have no pipe weapons yet.
Maybe force the player to change pants at least

Forced debuffs could be interesting, like give the bear an AoE roar that adds dysentery. Burning zombies can already give the burning effect, so it's kind of there, but they could add radiation sickness etc for radiated ones.
There's so many cool tweaks the devs can make for end game stuff, I really hope they lean into it for quests. Like if you accept X quest type it will force set feral senses and force raise difficulty based on quest tier. They could do a lot of really neat stuff like force lower gamma on a night only quest so people can't just see in the dark, raise difficulty, force set feral senses, make screamers spawn in the area, have "spawner nests" that churn out tons of zombies until cleared, have targetted roaming hordes for wave defense similar to the dig quests etc.
They shouldn't even be that hard to implement either, since nearly all of the resources and assets are already in the game, it would just be tweaks to change them / buff the zombies / debuff outgoing damage etc

It was so much fun, I was just waiting out a trader in the snow biome, in a church of all places, then they came from everywhere.
Yea after playing a few more rounds (perma death) I am not sure what the solution is, the traders give some direction but the survival in the game is so good that I think I was just salty and wanting to immerse in the survival. It's a tough call to figure out if traders make the game better. They do tell you the locations of T5s later on which allows you to find those faster.
I guess overall I'd just say their rewards are a bit too high and toning it down a little may be best since trader main appeal, at least to me, is giving the game some extra direction, and having merchants isn't bad either. I honestly don't know, I haven't even made it to day 7 once on A20 yet (only really started yesterday) and it has been a blast. Traders definitely make survival easier when I decide I will use them on a run though.

Does living off the land 2 (50% for one more crop) stack with living off the land 3? (triple crops). If not then that means you break even if you craft seeds on living off the land 2 right? Only profit if you get perk rank 3? I thought living off the land gave 2, 3, 4 crops which means you'd begin to profit at rank 2.

Does anyone know how stealth works with feral sense?

Hey guys at tfp and everyone else have a great merry Christmas 
To my understanding and from my experience, feral sense increases the detection range of the Z's and stealth decreases the 'broadcast' range of the player, effectively making it null.
Feral sense does not appear to apply to sleepers, but there is a chance to wake up all of them inside a volume if you wake one.
Even with feral sense on the Z's can lose your trail if you crouch still and out of sight.

When it first was implemented, I tested it with the debug tool that shows what the AI is doing.
It was cool to see them "investigate" a noise where it occurred then go "wander" mode. Line of sight is definitely enhanced as well as they would target me when facing me from farther away.
A great feature that adds alot for those looking for a more challenging experience.

That sounds great, so the sneak isn't useless either then. I will have to try it.When it first was implemented, I tested it with the debug tool that shows what the AI is doing.

On a side note, I am unsure what I am doing wrong but my 2nd trader is still giving tier 1 quests, does anyone know why this would happen?

each trader has to have all of their quests done as progression. finishing t1 at jen does not open t2 trader hugh or who ever.. each trader has t1-t5 quests and you must work them all. opening the trade route basically lets you know where another trader is. but you will need to go back to original trader if you want to do t2 quests.

The few of us who play together have talked about quests and whether it might be a good idea to have a 1-job limit per trader per day. It would slow down the questing a bit as well as encourage people to spread their work around to all the traders. Right now if you find a new trader they only offer T1 quests so you’d rather just work for your first trader. But if you can only do one job for your trader then you might feel better doing a T1 at the next trader as a bonus.

maybe 25% more dukes earned through each t1 quest done in succession per day? sounds like a good idea as long as the bonus is worth doing this i think

It feels like there should be a solution but hard limit to quest per day hmm, unsure how I feel about that. I would like there be a reason to move around, is this new to A20 or did I just not notice it before? I thought you had to unlock new routes to get higher tiers everywhere. I used to do that and pretty sure that's how it worked.
