Well a couple of guys were say that a base in other biomes beside the forest will bring out more high level zeds. I meant in real life would someone live in the deep snow, desert, wasteland or burnt forest rather than a beautiful forest surrounded by trees. I would not.
Yeah, forcing players to build bases in other biomes is a pretty bad solution and clearly not for everyone. The forest is simply more pleasant to be in, and constantly moving between bases isn’t great gameplay. Traversal in this game isn’t exactly enjoyable even with vehicles. Between limited object draw distance, random junk spawning right in front of you, and vehicles instantly stopping on invisible or half-buried objects, fast travel often feels more frustrating than fun. Add occasional lag or rubberbanding at high speed, and it’s hard to call biome-hopping a good answer to difficulty.
Use an autogyro. I use two vehicles: a motorcycle for short trips and an autogyro for longer flights.
The problem is that progression is currently designed in a way where once you reach the gyrocopter, you’ve effectively finished the game. Either that, or you rushed Intellect, which has been overpowered in pretty much every version anyway
Not necessarily. You can visit all known merchants every three days and buy magazines. You can search cars; it's often found in them. You can also deliberately rob gas stations and auto repair shops; you can find it there too.
Yeh, I'd have posted 1.4 versions if I had em. I kinda posted those as an example; you can check yours, following the same idea.
I have a theory why high level enemies seem to have become less common as your gamestage has gone up.
I think we’re talking past each other. I’m not asking TFP to break or invalidate cheese bases, and I’m not saying players shouldn’t be allowed to use them. If people enjoy cheese, that’s fine. My point is that right now the only way to get a challenging Blood Moon is to deliberately play worse or redesign your base to be less effective. What I’m asking for is an optional, explicit system that lets players opt into harder Blood Moons while keeping their base intact. This isn’t about forcing anyone to change how they play, it’s about giving players who want more challenge a supported way to do that.
That's a way to put it, but a simpler way exists: "It will double your GS".
That’s exactly my point. Changing global sliders is not an in-game risk/reward system, it’s just a workaround. You have to restart a world or rebalance the entire game, not just Blood Moons, and there’s no real choice or tradeoff involved. I’m talking about an optional, built-in way to make Blood Moons harder on purpose, without touching global settings
It didn't used to. They fairly recently capped the number of zombies you could have spawn on horde night at 30, so now if you set the horde size bigger than that, it increases the difficulty of the horde instead of the number of spawned zombies.
