PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

[Gilthanaz]

I still say that we need colonies of mutated ants who live in the underground and dig around, multiplying until their hives reach quite a size, to get some action in those caves! And sometimes, they dig into a Player's bunker... and if you dig into their nest, you got some tunnels to explore, some big ants to fry (Madmole! Proteins! PROTEINS!) and probably can find stashes of stuff they collected but have no use for.

Vote "THEM!" 2018! Or Graboids. They'd probably make desert biomes a lot of fun

Edit:

Also, no Dev answered my questions regarind the RNG Maps being able to be resized "later" with the workaround to create the map with the same seed again, just larger, and then copy over the older, smaller map into the larger save so "transfer" all player created content In fact I think that should be a server feature (increase map by x * y)

[KhaineGB]

Silly question.

Are CarryCapacity, CraftingSlots and ActiveCraftingSlots defined in the player entity? So no more DLL hacking for expanded backpacks if we want to tweak that?

This has me a little concerned. How many blocks down will this be? Though I am not a mole digging Hobbit holes to live in as I do prefer the sunshine I also do like to sometimes spend the night doing my mining uninterrupted. Are the zombies going to start using augers to beeline to my night time coal face? :crushed:

P.S. Don't take my comment about augers literally! :strawberry:

Itll be on a detection basis, so if they hear you because you are near the surface, they will start coming for you. On a blood moon same thing if thats the path, they’ll take it. But if you are like 40 blocks down, they arent going to be walking around with sound detection or anything

The only thing a Fun Pimps should post from here forward is ... Its done and being released.... Unless that is So... PLEASE GET OFF THE FORUMS AND FIX THE FREAKEN GAME!!

 

[Spectral Force]

@Kinyuajuu With the way the updated RWG works, there is no way to preview the map before it generates anymore? For my dedis I like to preview the map just to see the lay of the land, this will no longer be possible and I have to generate a whole map for a preview and if we even get a preview? It was nice being able to have an idea of what the world looked like before it was generated. If you could let me know if this is correct I would appreciate it. Thanks.

What if they're waiting for their latest changes to upload and their choices are stretch and relax for 20 minutes or come on here and answer a few questions for 20 minutes? Are you still banning them then....?

if they do, 10 other people will complain a lack of information here. I for my part think it's great they keep us in the loop to some extent.

 

[JCrook1028]

So basically, remove the incentive to get a vehicle? and/or removing the characters stamina?

From Page 1 - Shift simply initiates run instead of having to hold it down. Pinkies rejoice! 3/20/18

so true LMAO

 

[Kalex]

JOEL, Can we ever get a flickering light in the game???

​

It's so atmospheric, especially in old buildings.

It's also logical when:

- the fuel in the generator ends

- the generator operates at the power limit

- the powerbank is discharged

- powerbank has poor quality

- the light is old and ♥♥♥♥ed up

Please no. while it is atmospheric, it is also potentially headache and seizure inducing.

Okay, at the risk of slipping into supposition and assumptions... it's both.
If you're playing on low graphics quality you'll likely see less of an fps drop when the zombies are recalculating their pathing due to the improvements fataal made to the algorithm. To be a little more accurate, it'll provide a more consistent frame-rate instead of sudden dips with a large group of zombies from what I understand.

The graphics upgrade should also help if you're playing on low textures as the entire back-end has had improvement, not just the textures.

I'd be able to tell you more accurately after testing it on a potato but at that point I think you'll already have your answers.

that was good answer thank you , and yeah we have to test it first joel had fps drops in his vid. ..

 

[deathless]

yey i want pizza with cheese

 

[Obsessive Compulsive]

Any chance we can look forward to custom icons for modders after you are done with A17?

 

[wolffblood]

Strength Attribute.

So I noticed it says "unlocks inventory slots and adds a % to base melee/block damage at 11+"... is that player level, strength level, or all points under strength combined? I would imagine all points under strength including strength, because otherwise, player level is odd and strength alone only goes to 10, lol.
