Just swim out in a lake somewhere, then your safe... ish.
Hey that reminds me of Raft. If you want something like 7D2D, try a steam game called Raft (I just know TFP can do this). Its early, early access and my OCD side took over and I finished in 13 hours with a crap ton of loot... But it was the best 13 hours I have had in a long, long time! If they keep adding the promised content, then it could by in my top 10 list.

I played raft as well.. havent played since the addition of the seagulls that attack, but it really is pretty damn addicting.. Not long term play, but a nice little time sink til A17E drops

I heard that Yoda rage quit the game after that addition...

 
thats why i skim thru and only read posts by those with green and gold names. they tend to respond to the stuff worth reading, so you see the original stuff quoted and then something interesting in response.theres a few ill stop and see what they are gabbing about as well but not that many

That's a good point. Most of the things worth reading on this forum are coming from a small group of people. I could just read anything from people that actually work for TFP and ignore a lot of the rest. The reason I don't usually skip over stuff is because sometimes I see stuff that gives me a good chuckle.

 
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you, Roland, I tried so hard to forget that song and now it's back in my head!

ah...dang it. Your post brought something else to mind.

I just lost the game
 
I love how every day there have been tiny adjustments to the title above so now "it will be done when its done" but now with a smiley face. I am sure the smiley face wasnt there yesterday. Its teasing just enough.. that someone cares enough to adjust the menu, but not enough info to give any hints as to when it might be done.

Thank you fun pimps for all your hard work. I love the anticipation personally.

Can I ask, is there a way, if we are into 3D modelling, for us to contribute to providing models we may have made to the game? does it work like that in any way? And of course I mean having to sign them over to the property of fun pimps whatever...

...cant wait till Alpha 17!

 
I read an article about TFP having over 20 staff members. Since they are working for over a year on this game the update must be huge. It has to be a complete new game. I can not wait. The "It's Done When It's Done" is the last thing that needs an overhaul.

I watched several youtube streamers "demonetize" themselves because of those dang seagulls.

There is a way to use them in a very constructive, peaceful way, but I ain't telling. :)

 
Shovel spear update

Just tested out a steel shovel as a spear on hoard night and it's great.

Hey! If you want a challenge, You really should max out the number of zombies on hoard night, and get on with it in hand to hand combat.

I recommend setting zombies to walking when doing this because it can be very overwhelming as the zombies will quickly surround you. I almost died several times, lol.

Nothing like getting off your fort having at them in close combat with a shovel, it's pretty challenging and fun.

The best part was when dawn came and I charged one of the last bigger ones, killing it with once shot, I was both surprised and excited at the same time! :)

On a side note: I have noticed that hoard night fizzles out about half way through the night. But I found a workaround. :)

Simply log off and re-start the game. If you max out the hoard setting, you will soon have more zombies than you know what to do with. lol

Have fun.

 
i see we are making progress going on with the pages up :) , we must keep our part done so we can get A17 next week

and i would ask our fataal a question about his fataalty work , in case a whole wandering horde hunted me how will they act ?(talking about there bathing) . will they follow the same line , like a queue of Z s ?

 
Yep which TFP fully supports through modding.
No matter which way the final version of the game shakes out you will be able to modify the game to suit your play style, you yours and me mine.

Back at ya. If you want underground threats, you can mod them in. Its obvious to me you me you dont care about mining much as the impact of your ideas would break what is clearly an intended gameplay feature. Your whole interest to fix an exploit, by adding a gameplay feature, that breaks a gameplay feature. Resource gathering for rock, lead, coal, nitrate, and shale is already its own little challenge enough and required for those that want the 'build' feature of this game. I agree that the exploit needs to be fixed, and it can be done so with AI. But adding unavoidable environmental hazards is punishing the people who (I will risk speaking for others) was an intended part of this game.

 
its done when its done >>>> its done when its done :) == its done when its done . soon bois

that how i see it , if not like that. you'd better remove it ;) . lol

Im very amateur at modding and I can say with 100 percent certainty that it is 1 billion times easier to mod something out, than in. For example I could EASILY mod out the 7 day hordes, modding the system IN tho would be development.

Thats a great sentiment to have, but currently there are NO ways to mod in an underground threat or we would have done so in a heartbeat. So the mechanic has to be created and implemented for it to be moddable.

Have fun modding it OUT though. As it is Pimps vision there's really nothing that can be done to change that. It's their right to create and release the game THEY want to release. It's on you and others to use the phenomenal tools at our disposal to mod it how we like.

The fact they allow it is amazing enough. Try doing it to games like Subsistence. Some devs WANT you to play their way. Pimps are gracious enough to allow us to have it ANY way we want.

 
Every year around this time I feel myself getting incredibly excited for the next alpha. I can't wait to head back to BGG to relax and watch them playtest the new alpha. We are almost done with our wait friends, and I'm pretty damn sure this version of the game is going to be such a huge improvement that was definitely worth the wait.
