Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

This could just be my odd luck, but using the ratchet, impact driver, and laser tool, I get next to no batteries and engines ever, but with the most basic wrench, I get 1 to 2 on nearly every vehicle. Not sure if that's a setting that's bugged or what, just figured I'd point it out.

Funny you should say that - I've been experiencing the similar (but didn't know about the basic wrench). I thought the drop rates were nerfed - I ended up using the silver I'd found to make engines eventually as I'd had just 1 engine out of 40 or so vehicles. Just tried the standard wrench and 4 batteries / 1 engine out of 6 vehicles.

for god´s sake, and i thought im fkn stupid not getting any engines anymore... 
just tested this, 4 cars, 3 batteries and 1 engine

 
Just a quick note, I haven't been able to get sap from any trees, no matter the size, whether I'm doing right or left click, no matter the distance from the tree.  Not game breaking, but damn if I don't miss my steady supply of Megacrush.

Fixed in the B34 dev build. Basic wrenches work though, as you mentioned.

Using the clay bowl?

 
Hi, not sure if this is just with the new build for A20 but when I copy and replace the mod folder, I run the game and start up a new world and it just gets with the console open and the text saying "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object". It's been going for about 15 minutes.

Any tips?

EDIT: Fixed issue thanks to a helpful player, thank you! excited for the stable build!!

I had started using silver as well, but the save in which I was doing that bugged out and I had to start over.. on the next, I didn't find a rachet til like day 5 and had ran out of room for the engines and batteries, which is when I noticed the difference.

Glad I could be of help. :D

 
Cool. Can you share the solution? Others may find it helpful in future.

Was it similar to the issue of not having Steam running?


I had this, because I forgot to disable EAC in the game launcher. 
Could also be because the test build of DF can only run on the premade DF maps supplied with the mod.

Hi KhaineGB,

I haven't found a tool and die set yet and I'm on day 38 at level 126, I am pretty sure this isn't normal.  Getting tons of lathes, welding torches, calipers, tanning racks and from the loot table, they should be as frequent as lathes..

I fixed the issue with the creative menu but haven't looted one yet.

Currently using B30 no other mods installed.

It was either one, or both of these. I disabled EAC and then used the test map, and it ran smooth.

They always were a tough drop.  I usually end up buying mine from traders 😕

Oddly, in A20... I found a cooking grill and two beakers long before a cooking pot dropped for me - go figure

The drop % on pretty much everything is currently botched, I think he said it's fixed in the builds that aren't public yet. I've gotten both the chassis and parts for the gyrocoptor 20 times over before I got a single tool & die set.

 
So, I've been trying now for about 3 hours to get this mod working, and nothing I do seems to work.

I've tried the new mod launcher, it just crashes the moment I press play.

I've tried the old mod launcher, same thing.

I've tried manually downloading the zip file on the first page and it still crashes the moment it starts, all I see is the crash handler pop up for a second and that's it.

All three times I have told the mod launcher to download A19.6 from steam.

I've played quite a few other mods with the old launcher and the new launcher, currently playing Undead Legacy, and have no issues with any other mod but this one.

So obviously I has the dumb and am doing something wrong, lol.

Anyone able to suggest some ways of getting this to work?

Thank you.

Edit -

Ok I managed to get it working, I am not sure why, but anytime I told the mod launcher to download A19.6, it was still downloading A20. I am not sure how I fixed it, but I now have downloaded a copy of A19.6 and it's working fine now.

Looking forward to the mod coming out, was the most fun I had last time played a good amount of 7DTD, but wanted to ask something oddball someone might know; I play with someone who's an arachnophobe, and I'm generally not a big fan of giant insects either. Last time, I think A19's DF, i just commented out the two enemies from the game, both so the mob didn't exist and it never got called for spawning. At the same time, and I'm fairly sure unrelated, I could never get the scientist class because of a null error, i think? (would never be able to use the class book) I always wondered if that was because of removing the monsters, so figured I would check if anyone knows: is there anything that those two need to be in the game to allow? Is there a better way to make absolutely 100% sure they never show up?

My computer was also only about two steps above a potato for this game so there could be plenty of other reasons why; just not going to get them to play this unless I can get rid of those two enemies.

 
I don't know if anyone else had problems with Bio boost and tech boost, but I could not get transhuman over level 1. Had all the requirements met.

Starting digging in the xml files and found that in the progression.xml and buff.xml file 2 perks/buff were blocking them-self's.

Transhuman was checking if $bioboosts was at 0 but it can't because transhuman is a bioboost and Gottagofast was checking if $techboosts was at 0.

Edited my xml files on my server and it's now working as intended (I hope), here is what I have modified if anyone wants to make those changes while waiting for stable.

I hope KhaineGB will approve of this, or I can remove the code snipet from my post!
