You're free to turn enemies off if you want a peaceful building play through. No need to handicap the base game.
Even that "childish" Minecraft, as it has been called here, has underground threats. You don't see THEM complaining do you? They just remove them if it bothers them so much.

That "Childish" Minecraft actually uses real electronic engineering with redstone...it was a mod by an electronic engineering student and they adopted it into the base game since there was no way they could have done better . I always have to go to my nephew and nieces house and make them things with redstone that they just couldn't do...people have built real working computers and all sorts of crazy crap with it as well...Last time I was over to visit them , just after Halloween...they made me create a real working Haunted Mansion from Disneyland , complete exterior and line queue and you can ride thru it and I have "animated" scenes using redstone , pistons and other things...
It may appear childish...but it has plenty of things to do and build etc. once you get into it...just some people can not get past the graphics and all the kids that do play it...
All of us 7DtD hipsters remember playing thru our own blocky square world for awhile there

Actually I said "childish" graphics, meaning simplistic (I'm aware they are so it can run on a toaster). And that's why they don't complain, because they can remove it. The more options the better.
An option to turn on/off certain enemy/zombie types would be great as well. If there would be undead moles crawling in your hole, just check them off of the list of what is spawning if you want.

Pretty nice improvements on the vehicles and stuff. Game is really getting along and feeling closer to release quality than it ever has.
I haven't played in the past months shall I say the last year for differents reasons but I've been following this quite closely all along. It's really the only game I won't play for some time but keep being interested for, that should say a lot about how unique and special it is.
I gotta say i'm pretty excited to finally see news about all the big stuff that is coming, aka Bandits, NPC, new pathing algorithm of zombies. Basically different kinds of threats. Don't get me wrong, all the recent additions are really cool and as a developer myself I can only imagine how much work there goes into it, but it's exactly what I said : the additions are cool stuff. Flying and driving is great but it does only enrich the "sandbox" aspect of the game. What I feel is cruelly lacking and one of the reasons I haven't played in quite some time is because the threats in the game haven't really evolved that much. Sure, we have vultures and different zombies, but as a whole you can just juke & trick them like you could in A10 basically (where I started, not a definite reference point).
I can totally understand why there's been some kind of silence around the ongoing stuff that is a huge beast to tame, but could we maybe get some updates about what's actually in the pipes regarding the "gameplay aspect", even if it doesn't translate to some visual demo ?

Yep! Computercraft absolutely is not child's play!That "Childish" Minecraft actually uses real electronic engineering with redstone...it was a mod by an electronic engineering student and they adopted it into the base game since there was no way they could have done better . I always have to go to my nephew and nieces house and make them things with redstone that they just couldn't do...people have built real working computers and all sorts of crazy crap with it as well...Last time I was over to visit them , just after Halloween...they made me create a real working Haunted Mansion from Disneyland , complete exterior and line queue and you can ride thru it and I have "animated" scenes using redstone , pistons and other things...

So we have an HTC Vive and my kids loaded Arizona Sunshine. its about as close as I can find to 7DTD in 3D VR. TFP check it out. no building just zombie killing in a desert biome.
I think I would miss the keyboard, I can't see digging to bedrock in VR. it would be a workout!

MM, Roland, Gazz, I have this question: is it possible to get back an empty jar in 17 Alpha when making a craft, when using a recipe, in which a pot of water is used?
The question is a bit different: can I get several items when crafting?
One more thing. Will a separate slot for ash be added to the craft station, which is obtained by burning the tree?
Thank you.

Confusion about Beta-Message.
It was discussed (but not cleared if im correct ) that it was meant that A17 is in its Beta state and not that A17 will be the Entering of Beta for the Game itself.
So i just want to ask if you reached the Point of Content-Lock for A17.
Telling us, as you did with A16 showed us that the time of release isnt that far away anymore
