Well there is already a reason to visit the winter biome. The lootstage is almost as high as in the Wasteland but you have no instant zombies respawn at night. Anyone who has ever done a Restore Power Quest in the Wasteland knows what I'm talking about.

I am not talking about this as it is a reason to visit any of the other biomes. Sure, there may be reasons why someone likes this or that biome better, but generally the other biomes just offer the same loot boost in different strength. 

But you have a very good argument why the loot bonus of the snow biome should be reduced. It seems generally too easy for its loot bonus. And it would be nice if the wasteland were a biome unlike any other, alone at the top in every respect.

Add back REAL cold and frost burn consequences  :smow: and there you go, rebalancing is done.

i remember when if you were too cold youd start moving much slower youd lose wellness and you would lose about 1 health every 10 seconds the debuff for freezing now is so much easier to deal with in every aspect it can be directly countered if you just go in there starving and eat when youre out of that biome.

Only from the players' perspective. There is the gameplay and entertainment content aspects of the game which we care about more but there is also the technical and artistic element which-- while we might call it fluff, in the industry and among their peers they want the game to shine.

Hold on to your butts. 

Roland has opened a jar of fluff!

😋

Would be nice to see another of his clue puzzlles though.  They're kinda fun really.  Anything new you can tease us with? Since LLoyd Christmas is  out on his minibike running down Rudolphs, maybe we can spend some time trying to decipher what Santa Joel has in store for us. Maybe?

from what i've seen on the forums snowballs will only be useful for throwing at your friends and also for yucca juice smoothies thats it no other way to use them.

nice 😆, sounds good to me.

Lol. 

Currently I use snow to melt it and have no water problems at all, for drinking, crafting. Gathered all of it probably on day 5, now at day 108 I`ve never needed any other form of water gathering, even from looting. It is too easy&cheesy.

Obviously to a lot of us, water and jars are just.. very abundant early on, it's not a matter of even trying, everything is just in your back back and by day 2 I might typically have 40 jars.

So I think the rework of jars and water collecting will hopefully make gathering water a teensy bit more interesting.

Is there any chance in A21 or beyond that storage boxes in multiplayer can have multiple ppl looking in them at the same time?
its such a odd thing playing with friends and having to wait to drop off because someone is using that box...

i can't think of any other games i played having it this way 😃

Anyways keep up the good work, looking forward for A21 comming out at some point 😃

You misunderstood Roland. The picture he posted IS the new riddle. Fire away.

 
Hunkay. Never had a jar of the stuff in my pantry. But I'll throw out a SWAG.

Can soon craft a sweet, animal fat-filled confection. Sweetener? Maybe honey or the extract of super corn?

Why? Maybe its a boost to me, and/or I can dollop some on the roadway to attract some zeds who will stupidly and ravenously lap it up whilst I take them out with some ranged weapon?

New recipe perhaps ? It looks like a bravery, but a bit far from survival, more like for when we hear a dog horde in the middle of the night in Wasteland. For a probability to make them either eat us faster or get them disgusted and run away screaming..attracting a boomer or something. 

I`ll have at least 6, please, thank you. Yes, for take away.

Expanding sham recipes. "Fluff Fat Gluten" suggest padding more... and Sham only had 1 recipe?
Click to expand...
I agree, Sham could do more at meal time. Since we do not have wheat in the game, gluten (maybe from corn) might be a problem for some.  I eat it all, as long as I don't get dysentary 😋

Nice. I mean, when the Kraken is dressed and not running around in its undies. The game dev's are still scrambling for their Sunday best attire. The wardrobes are there, the tailors are running behind schedule. A stitch in time...

 
Happy Birthday A20

*insert random cake here*

We had a good time playing around with you,

and we love you and all, but...you're all grown up now and - sorry to say - it's time for you to go your own ways.

We have to make place for our soon-to-be-born new little toddler.

...gawd it feels so harsh to kick the little fella out 🥲

 
Its more like someone prettier just showed up at the dance.

Wow... We can stop calling me Trolland and start calling YOU Megatrollth... lol

That was almost as mean as creating a fake countdown out of emojis...haha
