You have to read the description of lvl 3 and above of the perk

 
Nerfed defense

I don't get it. Spiked logs are gone?

Wood spikes seem weaker, and won't even stop one zombie?

Then if you want to upgrade it you have to use forged iron and not scrap iron?

Forged iron is hard to come by and four units of it you might as well not even put down a wooden one because it cost just as much to simply place a iron one in the first place.

Why take log spikes out?

Why are spikes so weak?

At least let us upgrade spikes with scrap.

Guess I will have to go swimming on day seven.

That hasn't been my experience. A 'normal' zombie will hit a spike once and fall down and when they get back up if I don't plug them with an arrow to get the experience they'll die after they step on the spike a second time. They seem to be plenty strong. A spike can be hit a number of times by a zombie before the spike dies as well. We basically ring our base about 3 or 4 deep and at least two layers up against the wall and a blood moon horde pretty much beats itself to death trying to get to us.

 
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but on day 5 screamers were summoning ferals and radiated cops, and the 7th day day horde was really hard they wiped my base off the map. We had ferals of all types, radiated of all types, buzzards and zombie bears level 3 bows with iron arrows and level 2 guns with wood spikes sure didn't hold up long. I had difficulty set on 2 was that the problem? I was running a dedicated server.

A17 totals everyone's gamestage when it calculates horde levels. So if you had 4 gamestage 50 players, you get a level 200 gamestage. We saw ferals and irradiated on day 10 or so, and saw irradiated soldiers on day 14.

You said "we". How many people? What are your levels? Were you in a party? What do you have blood moon count set to?

 
•Reinforced Concrete does not downgrade to Concrete

I hope this means this wasn't happening.. but is happening now?

(edit added comment by QA Tester-unholyjoe)

 


yep that is what it meant now it downgrades again.

No mention of the performance hit that we endured between A16 and A17 as a known issue? Wtf? Cmon, fellas.

Happy about the punching a block after placing it being fixed, though!

 
  • Toolbelt message, it's depth and position etc can't be modified through XUi/windows.xml (not listed, hardcoded)
  • Durability text and durability bar when looking at a block can't be modified through XUi/windows.xml (not listed, hardcoded)
  • item_display_info in ui_display.xml doesn't support more than 7 item properties to be displayed on an item, for example: {itemstattitle8} and {itemstat8} etc. Suggestion: add more case scenarios in XUiC_AssembleWindow and XUiC_ItemInfoWindow to support more than 7 item/mod properties to show up.

What I did was to place one wooden spike in the path of a zombie and it was a weaker zombie. I had to get it to walk into it twice. The spiked trap broke and the zombie was still on her feet and still after me.

Fast forward to hoard night when you have dozens of zombies running up to your fort. You couldn't keep up with a bow.

To me all it would take is a hand full of zombies and they would be at the wall. At least with log spikes, I'd still be doing some damage.
