I had to go Ultra settings & Texture Quality has to be FULL to get rid of the Play-Dough look & you will have the pointy grass back.

I had to use 1-8 for the World Sizes or my Server would not Load. I chose 8 for the Seed & the World Size is 8,192, it gives you a Random County or Territory. I chose 8,192 & left it at the Default of 1 & my Server would not Load. I changed it to 8 & my Server worked & I tried it with other seeds too like 2, 3.
If you die you get a debuff on attributes, maybe that keeps you from learning forge perk.
Have you tried hovering with the mouse over the perk. Can't test atm but it was posted here that hovering gives more information now.
Just a quick first impression on A17.
Great update so far. It's taken the game back to earlier Alphas in terms of how much more difficult it is at the beginning. I've died twice so far on day 1. I haven't died on day 1 since A6! So far I've not come across any bugs, I get the occassional lag, but some adjustments of the graphics settings seem to have cured that. All in all, and admittedly after only a couple of hours play, I'm so happy with this build. I haven't jumped out of my skin like I am since the early days. Welcome back 7DaystoDie - this is how it should be in my opinion. Loving the new perks system. Just scratching a day of survival without dying is, for me at least, a challenge again. Right, off to see how long this game lasts.
Thanks TFP. Worth the wait? I think so.

Might be a RWG bug. WorldGenSeed is what GameName was in A16, you can use arbitrary strings
well the new build looks great but i cant say im really sold on then new skill tree and the health / stam systems ive died a few times on the first day which was to be expected but farming and building now feels like a real chore took me best part of a day (2 hrs ish) to build my first base. im going to have to say jury is out at the moment until i reach the first blood moon. as a single player part of the fun of this game was restarting and trying new things but first impressions tell me this is going to be a struggle when your faced with having to pick certain skills and having to wait for stamina to replenish constantly.
I think I might like that change. But to really **know** if I like it or not I will have to play A17 through at least once or twice.
This was discussed already a few times in forum threads and I don't think you will find many who want to start that discussion again at the moment when everyone is either playing (the players) or bug fixing (the devs)
My suggestion: Play A17 for at least a month, then post your opinion about the perk system. And then install a suitable mod if your opinion about it didn't change.
Lucky bastard, I just found 2 can of ham in my first bag. I nearly shook my fist gen heaven and shouted: "You mocking me?" :smile-new:The Marksman Rifle, ammo, Night Vision Goggles and some food I got off one zombie helped me get over that really quickly. The +2 Perception sunglasses off another one sealed the deal.

may of already been mentioned but both me and my brother both have zeds both spawning like right in front or behind us as well as clear out sleepers turn around turn back and one pops up where there was none, one popped up next to me after I turned 90 degrees to loot a fridge. Also seems odd to see over 15 wolfs day 1.

I was more focused on the base-building part of your comment anyway because it was the one you elaborated. It took me until night of my first day to get just a simple base up where I actually could hide from prying eyes. It was a struggle, and even then I was worried about being detected inside while I tinkered around. I see nothing wrong with this.

So, I just want to list some things off.
Bugs/ Possible Bugs:
On night 1 - day 2 in Navezgane, my party encountered a horde with a radioactive military zombie, which with three people, on a roof, using bows and what little ammunition we had finally killed. (Upwards of 150 arrows, 20 7.62, 60 9mm, and 30 shotgun shells with melee mixed in) Not one drop or xp, and his body was impervious to damage from level 2 axes and clubs until it despawned. It destroyed everything in its path, luckily it destroyed the ladder to reach us, but it near leveled a brick building over 15 minutes. This seems a little excessive for Night 1 - Day 2.
If you craft something you are already wearing, it seems to generate into the nether and be gone forever. (So you cannot craft for teammates)
Crafted clothing does not seem to be affected by higher level crafting.
The stamina system tied to food seems ridiculously buggy or maybe its just me. But having to eat like an Olympic swimmer to keep stamina up. Or walking into a cold biome my body starts burning fuel like an old muscle car idling.
The near death de-buff, (Which I despise) Locks your talents. If you have 3 points in intellect and the de-buff knocks it down to 1. You are unable to buy a perk that requires 3 intellect. I cannot wrap my head around that.
Why is the bicycle behind a level 30 gate? Its a bicycle.
Zombies either got alot stealthier or, they are spawning behind us. That is a problem. If I clear a room, I do not want to turn around to have a zombie spawn in magically and attack me.
I do want to add, I appreciate the work into the system that has been done here. The game looks pretty, something I never thought I could say. There is still frame rate issues etc, but there are some great things. I hope this is the right place to put this, as I just registered because the things listed above I needed to get off my chest.

well it got a bit better but not by mutch ..
Tested out some stuff in DM mode and ... well and I must say ima lil bit dissapointed about this update ..
seems this game now is going to more survival, building big coud be a problem now ..
New zombie pathfindig is great (no more running around in circles hurray^^)
New combat is nice (hitboxes feels a bit off ..)
But kind of getting wreid when ur standing right upon their heads and they ignoring it and just going for the nearest pillar and trying to destroy it so all my base collapses ... intelligent zeds?? :/ makes no sense, but well maybe thats what happens when u eat too much brains .. xD
Overall very nice update but I must say my excitiment went quite down after testing out some stuff
Im following this guide for dedicated server.
Is there other numbers and settings for A17 Experimental?

Once you get the hang of it and get a few perks and find say an iron axe you can really start to slaughter then and gain a ton of XP. I'm almost level 40 on day 13. I like that you actually have time to use each armor tier now, before you'd go straight to the best stuff.
