PC Am I the only one that feels a limit on loot quality?

Such an impressive list of stuff you don't like or care about, one has to wonder why you play this game at all. (No, you don't need to answer that. There are many groups of players who play 7D2D for just one aspect of the game. But they will never be completely happy with the end result because TFP will surely not throw out major parts of the game just for any one group)

The death penalty in this game is a compromise so as to not lead to death loops for newbies but still provide a disincentive to people so they don't use it strategically or ignore it. If the latter part fails, parts of the game loop fail.

A horde night for example is trivial when someone just opts to stand there and let himself be killed every 7 days. Not much the developers can do there. And yes, I know you don't do that, it is just an example of the fact that the developers can't please everyone and especially not people who ignore or don't care for large parts of the game.

I came here for some authenthic basebuilding experience even thought im disappointed that i had to opt into typical tower defense AI shenigans because the AI is developed to be "smart" enough to pathfind and attack the weakest spot what in return made the AI stupider.

I started out in A18 enjoying how random things were and the open world experience was handled well, that feeling that we wont find anything "new" arrived at around day 32ish but the randomised aspect of the loot helped a lot for this to appear as late as possible.

I really like crafting that with enough materials i can always make myself what i want but this was already limited in A18 because i need to scrap weapons to get weapon parts but its even more limiting in A19 because there are no weapons to scrap.

I liked the idea of the 7th day horde especially since normal days are just kind of empty? Like there are not much zombies roaming around, few animals and all that but you are generally perfectly safe till the 7th day.

At this point im probably just going to mod in A18 loot system into A19 when it goes stable.

Opinions will differ. I love the Blunderbuss and think its ammo is incredible cheap and accessible early game. Personally I would never classify stones, gunpowder, and paper to be precious as they are all fairly abundant.

Even before i started producing bullets i was always on gunpowder shortage. Got any tips where to farm it en masse?

Just mine nitrate and coal and craft your own gunpowder. Crafting it in the inventory is not as efficient as in the chemistry station but it's enough for a start. Otherwise you can buy it cheaply from the trader.

Logged in for the first time in awhile to add my two cents - love the change to loot. Me and my entire group of friends. It creates different types of play at different stages of the game, we have used items we have literally never used except to try once and then scrap (looking at you blunderbuss). It may mean that breaking open a gun safe at LVL 5 isn't worthwhile, but that is ok! Looting weapon yielding loot will give ammo typically at lower levels - which you can stockpile for later! Finding or buying a gun of choice feels like a victory, and not just a step. For the first time in a long time it feels like the game has a real sense of progression.
