This sounds so SCP like. damn i need more newsstands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now!!!!!! and skeletons....

make a newsstand using skeletons sounds like perfect idea.

hm.... what if you put newsstand inside skeleton?

hm... Lazman should could .... Workman... Yes.. THIS w.o.r.k.s good

AS good as newspapers in newstands wrote by skeletons.

hm.... Well well fortunatly skeletons always have both shoes are totaly barefoot...

that have sens... but if you somehow cut off your finger cut this same finger from second hand... aestetic is important...

That's why Madmole beard is so important.

Madmole could you send us your beard pic? We don't know why but... this will be important somehow...

But What if meganoth and roland are this same person because both of them writing in similiar time....

This have sense.... i need a doctor,,, or necromancer ... where is he when i need scientistic opinion... Why????

i need support skeleton doggy! 

Btw if Faatal make a big mistake writing a cod it is fatal  bug or faatal's bug?

so many question : 

What if bandits love smoking so we will to give ciggaretes to change our reputation.

 Can child  became bandit?

Why socks are always ugly so shoes or bare feet are neccesary?

Why  gloves looks better if there is two diffrents gloves. 

Why we have chili dogs not hot dogs but hot dogs are much easier to cook??

Why we have zombie dogs not zombie cats??

Why  make game being something bettween medival dynasty and 7dtd would be perfect ( HEY TFP DO YOU WANT HELP WITH THIS??? I CAN HELP FOR FREEE!!!!!!!!!!!)

Why if you die and zombie eat our body why there is not any blood in this  place....?

So if 7dtd is just nightmare of our character who just will wake up and go to work and during traffic will zombie outbreake begin ???

So many questions...........

BECAUSE OF REASONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn....

@Guppycur i think 7dtd with medival setting would be perfect would you agree?
your still on those skelletons?

damn... nothing changed really 
Do feral wight still look like Boes meth headed brother

 
Nope.  Now we have PS , XBOX , switch and PC right? In past you had more platforms . It means if someone still in so old game it is rly good game - for example Snes super mario world: yoshi island From 1995. 


There are hundreds if not thousands of good but still dead games.

Okay i will try to write this in diffrent way. 

Some well know "tricks" still used in games were exploit. Rocket(granade) jump, bunny chooping , combos ( it was a exploit from street fighter) are now features.


Yes, when they were an exploit most of them unbalanced their game. When they were later implemented into OTHER games they were also balanced so they actually were not exploits in those other games.

So  - some "exploits" can be solved in better way that "it can't be used anymore".you gave AI as example. So if zombies during blood moon can't reach player for X time and do X dmg to blocks there will be 50% chance of respawning demo zombie. If after that time it will not change anything - 100% chance. And demo zombie will explode 15 sec. after spawning.

Right on spot, Matt! I also found an old recording of a typical day of work at The Fun Pimps!  :lol:



  Reveal hidden contents

Well this depends - in older cods you  could make "crawler" zombies to finish easter eggs . Devs learn about that exploit and... decided to left this as it works. Why? because it wasn't anything bad and it was player's choice. They change this in CW because... well money - ending easter egg give you a lot of EXP. So to finish battle pass you have to - grind, do hard things or.. pay a lot :)

Hey, any Devs or whoever, do you know if the damage display on the blocks larger than 1 voxel is intended, or just bugged. 

Currently, like on the 3x3 blocks, if they are damaged any at all, they look really damage.  What is displayed and how damaged they are seem to be totally different.  They could look almost not damaged and be at like 10% health, or something like that. 

Also, it could be interesting, if the last rank of stealth damage, made it so that bleeding enemies would take some small percentage of sneak attack damage, when hit with a weapon that does said damage.

Bleeding arrows too, but probably OP. 

 
Hey guys I have a suggestion about the new loot stage modifier hear me out on this but maybe just maybe we could get the loot difference with what we had before I think like a15 to a19? Where the higher the difficulty the higher the gamestsge was which meant better loot I am curious if there would be the same system for loot stage as the difficulty is lower for example scavenger 0.90 adventurer 1 nomad 1.1 warrior 1.2 survivalist 1.3 and insane 1.4 I'm bringing this up as it really made you challenging yourself on higher difficulties pay off but now it seems that loot stage doesn't modify with difficulties but as always thanks guys for all your efforts!

I know getting better loot is rewarding and all but wouldn't awarding better loot for higher difficulty actually work against the setting being more difficult? People would be like, "I play insane nightmare dead is dead!!!" and then others would be like, "So what. I played insane nightmare dead is dead back when we didn't get an M60 on the second day."

Hmm..... I think junk pistol vs 2 normal zombies on 2 the second day is easier that m60 vs 3 spiders and 2 wights on the second day 

 
Hello team!, suggestion, special prizes when fulfilling high levels of missions. And with this I point to levels 4 and 5, where they reward you with dukes, or motorcycles, or solar panels, it matters little to you since it is very likely that you have bought them. I mean UNIQUE prizes, something that is not for sale and cannot be manufactured. It can be from a weapon variant, but if they don't want/can maybe Level 7?, or a unique mod, or different equipment/clothes... there are a thousand options. Today after doing 45 missions of all levels, the restart in the last stages is not an encouragement and it should be. It even occurs to me that it could be to unlock a last mission where you have to find a buried POI of a lab/treasure/whatever it is that gives a route at the end of the game... or to continue playing and repeating the experience on another side, or trader etc

And I have another proposal (today I'm on fire...). ok, there are thousands of ways that enabled us to create our bases, the basement doors and roller blinds are a great novelty and are appreciated, but why are the doors not enabled, we went from the wooden door to the metal or steel but we still can't use the doors that we see in the game, I mean the blue metal ones, those of wooden houses but better finish or even the one of the prison (and that it be with movement!). These doors can be obtained with some mods, but the question is... why not in vanilla?

Yeah, but the point was that junk pistol vs 3 spiders and 2 wights on the second day is the most difficult of all.

 
@Devs
Has the binding of prefabs to biome type been removed "because no one needs it" or is this a temporary solution?

 
Question about Wasteland biome mechanics that feel like changed in a recent update:

Sometimes when in the wasteland at night you get very rapid spawning of zombies which leads to fairly constant combat.  The weird thing is it seems to stop after a while.  Is there a mechanic that controls this and after a period of time spawns turn off?  I enjoy making bases in the wasteland in late game to fight long battles of attrition with the endless zombies, but in the last few releases this seems to stop after the first few nights.  If I go to a new area the rapid spawning seems to come back, but only for that area.

Was this changed or am I just crazy (which is very possible)?

fair point 

 
YEP! finally our community know how they work! 

Yes i love skeletons. i like skeletons as long as remember.

There were PS1 racer game with small cars i don't remember how this game was called. Anyway - there were skeleton in cage above lava on one track. I was 6 years old if i good remember. Next there were skeleton in sleeping beauty cartoon. Idk why but i like skeletons.  I'm something wrong with my brain probably because i have a specific eastetic. Double barrel shotguns looks so good. Flak 88 too, I love morgesterns ,  cats, concrate fences, newsstands, wooden elves, spears, hanging bodies, cars from 40S, coca cola glass bottle, playing cards and "logical" - this is hard to express what i mean. Hm... let say you have WW2 game with zombies . well zombies don't exist but i surrfer a  lot when i see japan Type 99 in random bunker. Or hm... lets say there is RPG in witcher style - you know mud everywhere , hanging corpses , burned corpses and crow  eat one of dead villageres. And there main character meet poor orphan thief girl which.... wear high leather shoes and this same clothes like rich trader daughter.  Well at least Merle from A plague tale wear logical simple black clothes and go barefoot (it is much quier that way). Well @Adam the Waster i care a lot about aestetic in movies games books etc. A name of the wind and mistborn have rly good describtions of clothes, places etc and these books rly logical. A plague tale and horizon zero dawn is another example how details matter. That's why DL2 is so painfull for me - well gameplay is rly good but for example -  everywhere on street you can find only  upper halve of skeleton in 2 variants (complet skull and broken skull) . Btw skeletons are very imporant for me in such games - in tomb rider  places with skeletons = it's mean this place is rly old. Fallout skeletons give vibes "it is old and forggoten place"  so i wish so much there were a full ( full i mean complete) skeletons in 7dtd ( i know there is a pile with bloody bones and skull) - let say 3 variants- sitting and 2 lying. I know small detail but i need this so much because it would suit there soooo good!! damn i know this is not something important for 99,9% but for me yes. Damn a skeleton in cage hanging in bandit camp could look so good. I know i know nobody care about that. I wish i would be normal person

Well this depends - in older cods you  could make "crawler" zombies to finish easter eggs . Devs learn about that exploit and... decided to left this as it works. Why? because it wasn't anything bad and it was player's choice. They change this in CW because... well money - ending easter egg give you a lot of EXP. So to finish battle pass you have to - grind, do hard things or.. pay a lot :)
