You know, it's funny that you said that. I remember years ago when Madmole was pushing RG and asked me why I still liked the Navezgame map.
I told him how I felt.
While he never responded to my post, I guess that it left an impact. I am glad it did. I love that map.

Or possibly a note with co-ordinates that you could find in a poi closely associated to mining, like those pits that have an entrance at the bottom to a small cave (you normally find mushrooms and nitrate in them) i dunno just trying to think of something that may make life a little simpler.

Then you should probably remove what you wrote in the 2nd post about random gen loading and performing like Navezgane.

It would help if they'd show RWG from time to time. Or if they'd give info on how stuff is working in RWG at the moment.
Otherwise the only feedback RWG can get is after release and the fix will always happen for the next alpha, and the next.

Which is after the release.
Maybe I shouldn't have written alpha, but should have used "initial release" and patches instead.

1) Nuclear Reactor - Do I even need to go into the extent this could be the critical piece to an amazing plot?A surprise?! In this game??? Naaaaa. lol
2) Airport (small) - A logical place for Gyro copter, Small Airship or plans of ether. DLC for a large airport and the "restricted" areas, above and below. Could be awesome.
3) Duke's Casino - The most dangerous place on the map, if you try and leave the gambling area... die well!

I'll rent out my geo-servicesOh sure. Hire a geologist. Great idea. We will just go to the nearest town and see if any of the zombies were former geologist. Or maybe some random survivor just happens to be one. Or maybe the trader has one to hire.
I'll do it for a place to sleep and 3 meals-a-day!
The underlying question is: Do TPF think that RWG mixer needs more work or not? Sure, practically anything in TFP could still be improved, but TFP has to think about how much return they get for the time they spend improving. It is quite possible that the RWG-mixer guy thinks that more time spend on fiddling with the parameters will not improve things greatly anymore. Often at such a point any change in one parameter might open up new problems in other areas leading to endless micro-optimizations.
And flatness of terrain for example is really up to taste. Flat means easier minibiking but creates boring scenery.
Mining is irrespective of RWG or not. I didn't hear anything about changes to mining except for zombie-digging. The doubts about zombie digging can only be confirmed or disproved by actual playing (for hours and days) not by looking at developer videos
All the other items on your list (apart from elevation bugs) depend in small or large parts on taste.
Maybe they don't see much need for improvement (at least not compared to other parts of the game like pathfinding for example). Maybe the algorithm for road generation is already at a point where it doesn't get much better anymore except for a complete rewrite. And surely there is no time for a complete rewrite on a basically working part of the game when their main goal is to reach 7D2D version 1.0 in acceptable time.

I don't understand some of you guys... MM already told us flat out that they're looking at a Gaia like approach to Rwg, so either they are and it's not ready, or they're not anymore because it didn't work out, but the net effect is they are definitely interested in Rwg.
