nani? please explain this more. since when did shotgun perk raise chance to get more magazines? this an a21 thing?

See the first post of this thread.  I believe Roland copied the explanation there.

Ah I see. slightly affects it. hmm, will have to play and see how slight. Thanks for the heads up

With LBR it's a whole new thing, so you perk into Hunting rifles you will see more hunting rifles magazines in the world until you hit the max level of say 100, then it drops it back down to normal loot rates.

It also stops you from getting a quality 5 item straight off the bat since you can't craft it but you can get a slightly better brown/blue ect.

From the one screen shot I saw, the auto shot gun only unlocks at like level 75 and a Q6 at level 100 I think.

So slight that we are sure to get frustrated posts that it doesn't seem to be working properly because they're finding more magazines in something they didn't perk into than in the thing they did perk into. But not so slight that we shouldn't ever get any frustrated posts that someone has gone days or weeks without ever finding any of the magazines they perked into. Fun times ahead no doubt =p

Like spending weeks trying to find a crucible in the current game

RNGesus hates me, I am always one of those people who will perk into something... and not get the books. I am expecting it, so won't post when it happens. just make my wife play so she gets them all

Было много слов. Вернитесь и прочитайте@faatal посты, так как он много работает над оптимизацией, и вы сможете прочитать о конкретных вещах, над которыми он работал. Список функций на первой странице этой ветки — это просто список функций. Это не журнал изменений, в котором перечисляются все произошедшие изменения. 

Происходит оптимизация. Слово.

Thanks for the answer, I'm most looking forward to the optimization of the game, it's very infuriating to play with such FPS drawdowns on a good system.

And that was the only reason why I am level 4 in Better Barter. The better prices are of no interest to me, only the crucible in the secret stash.

 

[Uncle Al]

I would wrote there should be book "50 colours of Snowdog"  but this sounds too much furry

Reduce your object draw distance and turn down shadows it will help a lot.

I would love a more DayZ like inventory management in-game, so we can't bring 500k stone home in our pocket and a bike.

Is there any chance you can sneak it in for A21?

Spoiler

I'm joking

Not really though

vulkan api and Directx 12 still not implemented?

Depends. It isn't supported but you can select it and it may work. I'm using vulkan on linux since A17. But it may have problems with reflections or some other graphics options (at least I could not turn on reflections in A17 and A18 though I am not sure if it was because of vulkan or my GPU driver).

Maybe turn off everything in graphics options and try out vulkan or DX12. If it works, add graphics options until you experience problems or you are satisfied. Be sure to have the latest graphics drivers installed.

Any chance that there will be missions to upgrade the trading post?

I have been wondering this for some time now. 

Missions to fix up workstations or that would allow the trader to have more to trade. Even hire more guards and turrets to fight off zombies. 

Maybe meeting other trader missions that are now in the game could help them as a whole to have more on hand. Might even see caravans. 

 

[BFT2020]

They need to add a delay for placing blocks if there is an enemy nearby. Either always. The same must be done for repairing blocks and objects.

This solves the problem of exploit "nerdpoles" and instant restoration of doors and walls during a BM siege

Not a fan of this idea.  As someone who on many occasions thrown down a frame block or two to get away from a pack of zombie dogs, I don’t want to die because a counter has yet to reach zero.

Why can't we manually man turrets?

Can you not? Once it's powered on, you can fire from the aiming screen, can't you?

 

[Syphon583]

You can pick up a junk turret and fire that manually, but I've never tried manually firing an auto turret when aiming it. I doubt it's a thing in vanilla, but if I'm wrong it would have to be the greatest-kept secret in 7DTD.

Once. Long, long ago. I was trying a turret. I had placed it and was in middle of setting up the angle I wanted it to fire. As I was turning it I suddenly saw myself in the camera. Que in stupidity.

I fired. I was dead.

Yes, at one time at least you could fire a turret while aiming it.

Do you mean the weight-based inventory system ? That's Undead Legacy.
