I never take over a POI as a satellite base, personally.
I just carry wood and wood frames with me, slap down a quick 5x5 base which is enough for some chests and a campfire and use that if I -really- need to.

Otherwise, drop chests.

Completely opposite, I take over the 1st POI that I like and that becomes my permanent base and I never use drop chests.

I really do hope A17 makes the game dangerous again (non-horde night in particular).

 
In my last playthrough I spent the whole first week working on the pedal bicycle since I found an operational workbench at the trader. It took me a week because I was unlucky in finding a wrench to be able to get all the mechanical parts needed.

Just kill a bunch of skater zombies. They often drop mechanical parts.

(Too soon?)

 
ALPHA 17 - Release date?!

Hey guys, i've just read some posts here and i just noticed..nobody's talking about the release date of alpha 17. How comes?

or more, what date its gonna be?

Ive heard of several streamers...it will be this weekend, but there are like zero official informations of any developer or sth.

Maybe one of u guys knows more than me?

Would be nice, waitin for an answer:02.47-tranquillity:

 
Wasn't around for some time. Were there any news about loot system? Last info I got - much rarer loot (don't care) and no bodies with backpacks dropping if loot spawned (care a lot).

 
I can tell you how it is as of now but I don't think things are finalized so please don't freak out. Remember...WIP
As of now you can craft anything without restriction to level. The only restriction is access to the materials and using the required workstation with the correct part. So, if you can find a working forge and a working workbench and can craft a crucible and get it installed you could be making steel on day one. Same goes for vehicles.

In my last playthrough I spent the whole first week working on the pedal bicycle since I found an operational workbench at the trader. It took me a week because I was unlucky in finding a wrench to be able to get all the mechanical parts needed. But I had a bicycle by Day 8 without any need of a particular skill or a particular book.

Gun schematics are now part of the actual recipe for crafting that particular gun so definitely some RNG happening there but also a good use for multiple copies of the same book. As of now there is no reading of books.

This could change later as skills are still being finished--in particular the intelligence attribute is in flux with its skill and perk sets which have to do with crafting.

I've got two questions:

1.How will the veichles going to be built?

Do we need a recipe or only parts?

2.Can the veichles be modded like guns?

 
i don't know how i feel about any of that, because i haven't had anyone inform me of what my opinion of it should be.


so i'm just going to use my default setting: complaining and freaking out.

so stone and iron tools got nerfed to near useless in 16 and now are just completely pointless day 1? thats stupid. youre stupid. devs are stupid. /facetious

I have never considered that point of view....doubt that I ever will. Have a great day.

If your streamers are giving release dates, they are feeding you ♥♥♥♥. There’s no date on the e-rc, we only know that it’s still pushed back because they are still smashing bugs.

 
pretty stoked for ...everything. I do see real positive experiences in the future. There have always been rules on servers. "go now fool and retrieve my arrows" Why there is no "Banditgate" blows my mind.

Probably because most of us realise that getting the new AI working and bugfixed with close-combat zombies before moving on to the ranged attacks and teamwork required for bandits is a far better way to go about things than to try and do both at the same time.

 
Screw that! just throw everything together in the pot , no matter what its state of functionality is!

oh wait...that only works for my single person Unity project with NO testers or early access people besides myself...

only bitching done is from me , myself and I...

That awkward moment when you see some code and scream "What lame-brained mouth-breathing idiot wrote this!"... and then realize it was you.

So... no reading of books... no crafting list...

Grind out XP and resources and spent points? Find the meta? Rinse and repeat?

I know. WIP; must not panic... but now properly worried about the direction this is headed.

Who said no crafting list? Where did that even come from? What does crafting list even mean?

I just said there might possibly be no more level gating on crafting....just goes to show all news is bad news to someone.
