And can you tell us in general about the optimization in the new version of the game? In addition to optimizing window frames, will there be additional innovations? For example CPU threads, reduced framerate on remote LOD models, batching/instancing, or anything else?
(by the way, I conducted an experiment and knocked out about 400 window frames in one of the skyscrapers, replacing them with bulletproof glass plates. As a result, the FPS has grown from 44 to 60 in ultra quality. I think there would be more, but window frames are now in almost all houses in large numbers, and I playing with vsync)

I saw your video about it and, it made me very hopeful that TFP will do it on all the glasses. :)

I like how farming is. just spend 3 points into Lotl and get at least 5 plants growing. Thats not very hard getting 3 points into it

dont get me wrong, i do farm a bit, but unless i am doing the fort tree already, then it is way more than the 3 lotl points, you have to jack up fort itself to be able to spend the three.

i do keep and plant seeds, and usually get lotl 1 at least, seems a cheap way to double the harvest, but always have to supplement food production with raiding farms etc.

no parts of the game are hard in themselves, you just cant have it all. and thats fine by me.

i have learnt though that you should check every loot container, salvage as much as you can and keep everything! one of the joys is to finally get a vehicle with decent storage and go out at night and pick up all the non urgent stuff that accumulates in the dump chests around and about, then make nice big organised stacks back home 🙂 yes i am a hoarder...

 Guns, Nerds + Steel started a new series using the Undead Legacy modpack.

There's some changes that I really would love to see integrated for the upcoming A21. Namely how it handles recipes to make it less entirely RNG dependent. I dont think there would need to be any special tables apart from the existing work bench maybe but in a nutshell it's a research station to be able to make recipes by scrapping found ones for a resource called 'research data'

This same concept could easily apply to the upcoming skill magazine system and would make me a lot more open to it. 

The fully UI'd fallout 3 lockpicking minigame tho with modern features you'd want and expect is also pretty great.

I think that is the cost to being able to plant them anywhere, compared to all of the other crops requiring farm plots.  For me, that was always an acceptable trade off as I only need clay for them, and I can plant them on any unused wall or ceiling in my base.

Oh yeh, I hadn't thought about that. I always plant them in farm plots because ... well, I dunno. It makes me happy.

 
I used to farm when fertilizer was in the game, but thats no more.

Also now you HAVE to use "farm plots" to do anything, so no more having your own corn field!

I like farm plots but the removal of planting in the DIRT was odd 

Farming is just super dull now with little reward, at this point if it was removed i wouldn't notice or care. Sucks because it was a fun part of the game when i had nothing better to do id just go out and make a farm.

Yes!! The game has its full complement of vehicles. The possibility of a raft is pretty good since they already have the model for it and now the new water simulation is in. The possibility of a helicopter is more remote. 
 

But, truthfully, the developers are willing and indeed planning to ship this game with the vehicles we have right now.

I saw level three after my post. Looks as if I can have as many as six plants per harvest.  I have not tried that yet. But if it works it will still be a good deal.  :)

minimum of 6 plants per harvest, a max of 7 is possible

LoTL Level 3 gives you:

  • guaranteed 6 plants each harvest
  • 50% chance to grab an additional one (7 total)

I found this funny bug. Well I think it's a bug. 

I put in a cellar door. If I open it and leave and come back the door will be closed. But if you open it will open and then slam shut. As if to say:

  Sure I will open for you- Just kidding! lol  

Has anyone else seen this?

Known bug. Weird, I thought they already fixed it...

 
I popped over here to see if people were talking about the iron armor. It seems pretty unpopular over on the Steam forum.

Personally I don't "get" the design... Like why does the helmet have a handle, why does the gauntlet have a bunch of rebar pegs on it (impractical for zombie combat and would get caught on everything), and how would you actually put on, let alone move in, this armor? The design seems pretty out there. Plus, since it's a set, couldn't a little bit of effort have gone into making the pieces look like they fit together? Seems like the survivor just grabbed the first metal bits he found lying nearby. 

Also, they call this "iron"... Will there still be a steel tier above that? Because this is already 500lbs and has ridiculous coverage, so where can you possibly go from there? 

The existing iron armor design is a bit wacky as well and I don't spend much time looking at it so it's not a change that will negatively impact my play experience but at the same time it doesn't really seem like an improvement.
