Yes, because the amount of trees you can cut down and or the amount of rock you can mine on one tank of gas is totally realistic.

Since their focus is on fun gameplay, it's fine that those things are not realistic. However extra small fuel tanks are the opposite of fun..

PS congrats on being the first to make a joke about realism in this forum!

Then why even mention realistic, if your concern is the fun element?

On the fun issue I have no problem with them being 500 units. This game needs to balance the power of these items. Giving them 2000 unit gas tanks would only make them more unbalanced and game breaking.

Once you have an auger and chain saw resources are no longer an issue and that (to me) takes the fun out of the game.

So what is fun is entirely upon your perspective and game play style. If you want bigger gas tanks find it in the .xml and increase it.

(assuming it is in there)

P.S. to your P.S.: Not the first, just the most recent.

hours of mining with steel pickaxe is fun? its more fun to dig around with an auger. if thats issue for you then dont use them

This is only my opinion and, as such, not worth very much to others, but yes. The context here is that I do not tend to play much further than day 60 at most.

For me it is the 'struggle' of getting up and going, gathering resources, getting skills, building the base. That is fun.

Once I have become self sufficient, with farming and the base is 'done', then I tend to restart and do it again.

If digging with steel is not fun, and the auger is not fun(because of the small fuel tank), then just spawn stuff in with creative. That is exactly the same argument you just used.

Auger and Chainsaw that could run half the game day on one tank of gas is completely unbalanced. The fuel tank is the only thing that even remotely keeps them inline with how much you should be able to harvest.

 
Greetings from Portugal Mr. Mad Mole and Team,

Is the buggy 4wd for two players, one who drives and one on the back, with new armour upgradable with a mini gun or smg ( smg turret mechanics) attached on the roof on will arrive only on 7 days to die alpha 19 ?

Also since you confirm the camouflage system with new 3 modes, zombies obviously will be more smarter and the player will have the swiming suit, the new lantern ( on the last video on the right side of the hole of that entrance, above the drawer ) to explore the ship sinked underwater ?

Keep up the good work

 
Hmmm, I haven't noticed this problem. I'll go and start a new game to investigate!

well it felt like massive lag to me because my fps would drop significantly, a good 20-30 fps and even my friend who had a 1060 said his frames dropped whenever he was near our solar panels although obviously not as much as me since I had a 950 at that time but we ended up destroying it.

There is some kind of language gap going on here. Let me be as plain as I can be for you:

1) The jeep will be for one driver and one passenger who sits in the passenger seat.

2) Nothing is going to be mounted on the back and nobody is going to ride back there.

3) I have no idea what you mean by 3 modes of the "camouflage system". I'd say that maybe there is a translation error here but there aren't 3 modes of anything that I can think of except speed of foot movement now...

4) There is no swimming suit if by that you mean scuba gear and a wet suit. If you mean swimming trunks, well, there isn't that either. In fact, there isn't even swimming until they fix the animations and so far...not yet.

5) That lantern is decoration. It can be destroyed but it isn't an item to pick up and use as far as I know.

6) There are no underwater ships, or decorations, or...anything but bare dirt or annoyingly that pesky airdrop crate that lands too deep to claim.

 
Suddenly I had a vision, that by the time we reach the page 1918 or 1921 in this thread (this is not too clear in my vision), Alpha 17 will reach the stage in which regular players will be able to test it. 768 pages to go, you all better type fast lol.

 
Question about looting process containers.

I suggest that for the search it was necessary to hold the "E" button, and not just to press and wait! Sometimes it happens, during the search come zombies and not immediately you can have time to press the cancel button. What do you think of it?

 
TFP,

Since we still have a bit of a wait for A17 to drop...How about a fan prefab contest. Have the POI artists go through all the prefabs created in Magoli's compo pack and pick one out and rework it a bit and include it in the A17 release. You can have TFP pick a few out and then let the community decide which one should be added, through a few screenshots or video of them . Think that would be a cool way to pass the time, especially with the shortage of videos, because most of the work is internal in the game code.

How about it?

MTFGA

something to pass the time?? Otherwise its ....

WOOOP!! Boring Alert!!

Talking about lanterns and stuff :) will the table lamps and other electric appliances eventually be pick-up'able?

Like this cool yellow torch:

It'd be shame if i can only brake it...
 
i'm gonna cryo-freeze myself, wake me up when the update is here (love you funpimps <3)

Haha! I'd even settle for sleeping pill until the next video.

But i admit, the anticipation is killing me. O A17, where art thou?

Is that a done deal? I thought for sure I heard madmole say in video that it will/may hold up to 4 people. Was guessing driver, passenger seat and 2 in back. Don't recall any post saying any different after that.
