Burnt forest is key in early game to score food, water and a pot with little risk. It is a biome with purpose, Looks good and is very fitting the way it’s implemented.

Food and water? How? :twitch:

 
Burnt Biome plus factor... (for me)

1. you can hear the zombies (crackling SOBs cant sneak up on you), (unless you do not have speakers or headphone)

2. you can see them at night (well.... the burning ones you can at least)

3. wood and coal from chopping down trees

4. you can see birds nests easier (at least i can)

5. FPS is rather nice compared to forest biome

these are my points about burnt biome now and not reflective of other players :)

Burning forest is awesome, why is this even a discussion?

Water is all over the place in the sinks and toilets. Get cooking utensils early by searching the ovens. Get eggs from very easy to see birds nests?

I love how I easily get wrenches by going to those ruins of buildings. Much easier than going to a city and invading house per house, with a bunch of sleepers

 
Now that Perlin mentions it, along w your points unholyjoe, I had a start in burnt biome and believe I found a pot & wrench(?) just from looting the 'one corner standing' houses scattered all around. I'll have to remember that :)

I'd also really enjoy a 'beach biome', but since the map is nominally Arizona... ah-ha! Earthquake! Cali has slid into the sea, leaving West side of AZ now beach front property :D

And the new desert is actually pretty close to the high desert Sedona area north of Phoenix. Though the old desert is a closer match for the lower elevations of the state. Phoenix metro & Tucson would be Wastelands. Long term polish might be cool to bring back old desert and tweak sedona desert a bit cooler (it's at 4,350 ft, ~3,300 above Phoenix & 10d F cooler w July ave 97F)

Heck if I followed Gups terrain map example then new rwg seems like it will allow folks to map States/Countries pretty convincingly. Looking forward to those fer sure.

 
can we just fix the damn eac timeouts? you can create all the features you want, but if people cant login without timing out due to eac issues ( been reported in bug reports every build ) whats the point of it?

 
if any dev is online.. is it possible to fire arrows/rockets through doors?

I'm trying to bring the jail door back and to enable arrows specifically through it. But when I add the movement collide it starts blocking projectiles (except bullets) too.

 
So I just found out that if you apply a first aid kit while riding a motorcycle, you consume the kit but no healing is applied.

Dismount before you heal.

I never had this happen. Not once, since A14...

Is it a server side issue or bad bandwidth?

 
Blade traps are a lot of fun, but they are expensive to repair and dont have much hp. I wish there was a tier 2 blade trap that doubled the hp. As of right now it's more optimal to just use turrets and forget about blade traps entirely.

Do they give xp? I ain't using it if there's no xp. U see what TFP have done to me.

 
Hi. Can anybody help me. Im getting an error when i access the map.

"failed to read past end of stream".

when i close map, i can move for about 10 blocks, then i fall through the world. When i reappear, my character is frozen and i have to ctrl,alt,del and close 7days.

This only started happening to me on B208.

Playing MP on RWG. Nobody else having the problem.

I have unistalled/reinstalled twice.

to add to your list

6.) Brass faucets easily found in a lot of the burnt out POIs

7.) Usually a good amount of water and food from sinks and stoves in same POIs

8.) I can see the damned rabbits easier.
