Not sure I understand. I was hoping for him to have an old tube monitor with lots of backpack space once the tube is gone.

Thinking the monitor would be dead after that and then I thought of this scene:

lol..Unless that guy is saying "I am Groot" I can never understand a word that mumbles out of his mouth...

 
Just got a new 65" 4k TV...its just sitting there...taunting me to hook up my PC to it...hmmm I wonder if I should...not like anyone here

watches TV anyways...or I will wait till A17 launches as the excuse! playing 7DtD on that might be pretty cool...

But it might be odd working on my project in Unity on it...that is probably the only reason I haven't done it yet lol...

i am testing a17 on 1-27" 4k LED monitor and a16.4b8 on the other 27" 4k led monitor. no issues for me and my 55" led tv not 4k but watching bluray dvds on it while testing. i am a multi-taskers :)

 
Don't mind me. I'd just like to share this to who ever is interested...
I had a Dream last Night... I was in a RGWorld of 7Days and was wandering the "Wasteland" without any Supplys. Just a Backback with a Can of Chilli, a Bottle of Water, a bandage and a Flashlight. I was getting cold, becasue someone stripped me of my Clothes. A City to my Left, up ahead a Hill with lush green Trees quietly capturing the Wind in its Leaves. To my Right a Huntingstand - did I just see someone crawl up the Ladder there? I went there to check it out. Halfway up the Ladder, I heard a Growl below me. It was a Direwolf. He attacked one of the Stilts of the Huntingstand till it started to fall like a Tree. I guess the Noise scarred off the Direwolf, but also attracted a Handfull of Zombies. I spotted a Car down the Road and began running towards it. I got in and found the Keys, turned them and suddenly a Window popped up with a Minigame. I had to connect the right Cables, and rearrange the Positioning of the Battery and clear out the Airfilter of Leaves and Dirt. The Zombies were knocking and making terrible sounds - trying to break through the Glass of the Car. Then it started and I escaped. I drove away from the Minihorde when I woke up with a punding Heart.

Thats why I love the Game, you never know what happens next or what you are going to find. You are always in Danger. Can't wait till A17 gives me Nightmares :)

Hey there. Stop staying up so late playing this game and go to bed. ;)

P.S. Loved the story. Sounds like some of my crazy dreams.

 
Always found that this game was

Up there with the best horror games out there.

I can never define truely what makes a game a horror one. Everyone differs with regards to there own demons and what makes them in a imaginary sense scared.

But you can't beat the atmosphere this game can induce with a dark dank building possesing possible danger lurking in corners or behind the closet door.

Yep. Had my fair share of scare moments in the game. Not proud to say my wife came in a few times to see what was happening ^^

But in terms of pure horror; I think this game doesn't hold a candle to something like Amnesia.

 
I'd really, really appreciate it if we could just get a release status update like "not this week" once it's getting closer. It would make the wait a lot less agonizing.

if you look at the past exprience, you can see that tfp are.. meh.. how should we say it... not the best devs. time/work done / productivity/effectivity are not their strongest "attribute" . but at least they didnt abandoned the game yet.

btw what happens when a game becomes mod friendly? you are right. devs abandon it. they are already preparing. imo a18 will be the last update. the community will do the work for free to make this game interesting.

(7dtd is one of my favorites and im hyped, but this is what i see sadly)

You need a new cristal ball man. It has been said that support will continue years more.

Well from my understanding is that they are trying to push to Gold now ASAP. I think at the most we will have 2 more Alphas before they go Gold. They did say that some features might not make it into the Gold release but those features will be added post Gold through FREE DLC.

and as beerfly said they do want to keep supporting this game for quite awhile.

on another note:

I just started my steam and when i went to see what games got an update 7dtd was in it, just a 0 bytes update but it did get my hopes up for a second XD.

Punch the Corn

When playing on the navezgane map you may find a field of corn. Much of it is dead but still useful.

While only the green stalks produce corn. The brown ones can still produce seed.

Just remember to punch it rather than trying to gather it. Otherwise it won't work.

Also, don't use you stone ax as it will wear it out needlessly.

I just use a hoe before harvesting the good ones, then get the harvest bonus. works for every crop type

Actually i tried to kill my very first zombie in 7days to die with rocks "Oh a Zombies... dam, no weapon, wait i have stones... can i throw them? no... oh i can nice... now die...." yeah he didn´t die...

 
I'm hoping when 7D2D goes gold, TFP do look at mods and cherry-pick what they think are good ideas and add some of their own stuff and make a DLC that has a balance that's on the challenging side and has an interesting map (like a big city).

If the DLC requires the base code to be reworked then have free updates with a few new items, but mostly to handle the new concepts/tech in the DLC. Its what paradox does quite successfully. Nobody serious complains, because who else makes wargames like they do?

Edit: If they have subways and sewers systems that makes above ground a party in comparision!

This way, there is: "No where to run to, baby! No where to hide!"

Well, since you are not clairvoiyant I suppose you base this on the history of other games. Care to give examples?

I can list lots of abandoned games, but none have a history of making it mod-friendly to abandon it. They just ... abandon it.

Big AAA games you might list as abandoned: Battleborn, Mass Effect Andromeda, For Honor, Evolve, lots of pre-2000 games that were released prematurely and abandoned because the publisher pulled the plug, for example KOTOR2. Any of them added modding before abandonment? At least I'm not aware of that

Indie-games:

Spacestation DF-9, they released the whole source code when abandoning it. But no modding added before.

Godus: No modding I'm aware of

https://kotaku.com/12-successful-kickstarters-that-never-delivered-1687019268: A list of 12 abandoned kickstarter games, I don't know any of them but I would be astonished if even one added modding before just fading away. I checked the first 4 with google and found no mods

Oh, and I can list lots of games with modding ability added that were NOT abandoned. You might not be happy with the after-release bug-fixing of most bethesda games, but they are not abandoned when they continue to release addons, goty's and even remasters, right? Minecraft: moddable, not abandoned. Factorio: moddable, not abandoned. Grand theft Auto, Arma 2, Kerbal space Program, Crusader Kings 2, all moddable and not abandoned.

So, is this just you always imagining the worst? Sure, you say this is just your opinion, but you don't explain at all why this should be probable.

I just tested out the hoe to see. I don't receive and bonus for harvesting corn this way. But it does raise my mining skill.

In the other hand it more than doubles the amount of grass I collect when using this.

Grass by hand or ax = 2

Grass by hoe = 5

I haven't tried this yet but I have seen a few people on twitch doing it. You are doing this on the ones already in the game in the towns? Not the ones you make. This is at least what I seen some do on twitch. I'm usually at work on break watching most the time someone random so I can't say for sure if mods or anything to the nature is being used.
