PC Blood moon and toxic atmosphere

I agree... the more options, the better. But, the options available should stay within the scope of the game.

It is 7 Days to Die... so something needs to happen at 7 days.

It is a survival game, so the options available should never completely take away the need for survival.

It is a horde game, so the options available should never completely remove hordes.

It is a crafting game, so the options available should never completely remove crafting.

These are the things that literally define this game. This is the game's identity.

There is a system in place to mod and these are the kind of things that should be mod-exclusive... because they leave the scope of the game.

More frequent night hordes? sure. Love the idea... but something worse better be coming on day 7.

 
How about when the blood moon horde shows, the atmosphere has some toxicity that follows it and you need a gas mask or some kind of breathing apparatus to survive the night?

So don't change the sliders?

I mean, really, we're arguing about how other people play. If someone wants to play without the Horde, then more power to 'em. They could, in point of fact, already do that right now, either by turning off zombies completely, or replacing the horde spawner XML to spawn, say, a single rabbit, regardless of game stage.

So, what you're arguing against, is already in the game as it currently stands. Why not, if TFP has chosen to do it, make it easier for those people to make the modification that they obviously seem to want.

 
It's not already in the game. You have to mod it that way... which is how it should stay.

If you make an option for everything that can be modded, then why have the game moddable?

It can't be arguing how other people play if they don't play it this way. If they do play it this way, it is because they modded it to play it this way... therefore, they can already play it this way and we don't need the option to destroy the identity of this game.

Well, I do agree that TFP should avoid, at least before Gold, in "Options Menu Screen Bloatware", so, just me personally, I wouldn't have added this in as an in-game option menu just yet, but TFP seems inclined to do so, and if they can easily do it, then more power to 'em.

I would have been (and am) strongly in favour of an XML setting which could be easily changed that would change the frequency (0 being never, 1 being nightly, 2 being every 2nd night etc etc, defaulting to 7), but it looks like we'll get an in-game option instead.

Like I said, the more configurable the game, the better I reckon, so in the end, I'm all in favour of this if TFP are prepared to spend the time coding it, and the time spent doesn't significantly delay their other work.

 
Yes, that is my reasoning as well. There are other things I think would be better to work on. Maybe I am just feeling that lately all of the new things have come with steps backward. I know it has to happen sometimes, especially if projects become messy.

Well, I definitely don't see it as a backwards step at all, if I had any issue with it at all (I don't really), would be I'd call it perhaps a tiny little bit premature, but that would be drawing a fairly long bow for me.
