I know I don't have to point this out to a math teacher but that's 1/3 less map to play on, sad face.

Bigger is not allways better... I think radius 8 km is big enough .. perhaps you have less flat space to scout, but much more to explore in POI with the new POI.

 
I'll be sure to ask for your "expertise" in coding next time, or maybe I'll read the book you wrote.Until next time, please speak when you're spoken to.

Or is your name Roland? :)

Sorry, I guess i came off a little condescending. I'm no Expert, but i know enough that they have their work cut out for them. I only claim to have a bachelors degree in CS. I know that real world experience makes a better claim to expertise.

That being said, I noticed you didn't answer the question. I, myself, have spent countless hours pouring over code to find various bugs whose solutions ranged from extra parenthesis to rewriting entire classes.

@Drithl

thanks :smile-new:

 
2) You can go into the options and change any save to any number of players after starting the game. Want your brother to join your SP game so he can see your sick base modeled after The Serenity? Just change the number of players to two in the options and you can do it. Then change it back to One Player so he can't come back and loot your gorram brown coats.

3) Pause now works whenever you are alone on a server no matter what the player count is set to. So if you are the last one playing because everyone else in your group has a job, as soon as they all sign off you can start pausing the game to your heart's content.

Shiny! Let's be bad guys! Just don't go gettin' all... wiggly.

 
Not everyone has seen it. It became evident on the Steam forums that a lot of players haven't even been aware of Alpha 17. If all you do is launch the game from Steam, and the only source of news is your Steam library page, then you hadn't heard any news since 16.4 was released last October. In other words, before Monday that news page was 9 months behind on news.

There are multiple links to this page.

If people wana be lazy, they gona be lazy. Cant change that.

Thats actually how I found this page in the first place.

 
I wanna try MP outside of my personal servers with my friends. However, I just see it being issues especially if I end up joining one that are weeks in, or even if I start on one in first week, then to not be able to come back to it for a week and now things are even stronger. Kinda makes MP a bit off if things can just keep getting stronger as others play or the server itself is just going. Or am I missing some information about how MP works with public servers?

That will matter in PvP, but not in PvE. The zombies the game throws at you are based on your personal game stage, (some formula involving your level and how long since the last time you died, I think) not the overall day count on the server. I play solo on servers sometimes, go in at a day count in the hundreds, and it's not any more challenging than starting on day 1, aside from some places being cleaned out of loot.

 
I think there can be enough balancing with the 4x4 to make this a less appealing strategy. I think the 4x4 should take on damage. Once the front spikes are gone (from damage) every impact has a chance to stall/break the engine requiring you to get out and repair. Maybe every zombie you hit slows you down a bit... run into a crowd and you are at a dead stop allowing them to surround you and hit you from the (always open) side windows along with damaging your truck.
Not sure if there are planned features like this to balance it out, but there should be things in place to deter people from using the vehicle as a single solution to the zombie apocolyps.

As of yesterday, vehicles take some small damage from hitting entities and blocks. At zero health the engine stops working. They can be repaired.

 
side walks & street walk ways.

Blocks do occasionally have geometry that strays into adjacent blocks (terrain does this), but it often causes problems like a raycast hits something, but the collision point is not the correct block. Vehicle collisions have to deal with that where a terrain hit is in the wrong block and it has to do a surrounding block scan, which is slower and leads to bugs.

Would street walkways be in the game? I have a picture of them existing. is this this terrian? https://imgur.com/a/voHoSJR

 
Saw this on the first page.

"One line of inventory slots added to backpack but bottom two lines locked at start 7/24/18"

How do we unlock this?

 
Any chance there could be blocks added so we could make something like this...

Would love to be able to make tunnels this large and shape either at bedrock or just through a mountain.

I think MM posted a while ago something about a 3 blogs wide arc or so....I think it´s difficult to build a much bigger arc out of segments... perhaps a big block? dunno if thats something we realy need... mostly building is 1*1 and thats ok for me

From what I've read it unlocks with (I think) a strength perk.

 
I'm tired, my back hurt's and I don't want to be nice. But, I will try to behave.

The Alpha will be finished when it is finished, treat it like a pregnant woman, that baby will be born when it wants to, unless you plan on forcing it to be born by C section. Quit whining, griping, tossing childish temper fits about being lied to, of promises that were never made and grow up, find something else to do, but for Heaven's sake, don't whine and cry anymore about it isn't ready yet. I'm tired of reading it here and in other places. okay, I didn't behave, they can just get over it.
