Hey faatal, not that its a ground breaking bug but will ambient occlusion and shadows be fixed on foliage and other small things in the next build? Always seems to break in new alphas.

 
What old spike trap?Were there partial blocks (1/2 or 1/4) near you?
Click to expand...
there were some partial blocks near me but not between me and the zed, unless the old trap counts as that. I will see if I remember exactly where that PoI was so I can take a picture. I pressed PrintScreen but it doesn't take a screenshot

In a16 we had a different model of spike trap. It's still in the game in some PoIs but not craftable.

 
Yeah, zeds walking at night and running at day! I kept bugging Gazz about it but lost hope already.

About random mod slots count idea. Mine is a bit different. Can we make it so found mods/attachments have random stats? Like extended magazines of different sizes, or silencers of different qualities? I was thinking about modding it, but it is way beyond my capabilities.

When is next update expected:

- within days?

- not this week?

- when it's done?

 
hmmm, mine sand, get xpmine stone, get xp

chop wood, get xp

punch grass, get xp

mine clay... nada. clay needs xp

Haha, the grass XP is an overkill.

It's the second quickest way to farm XP.

Quickest way is to keep hitting the 0 hitpoint tree's.

Because every hit counts as a "knockover" but the tree never falls.

I gains you 120~240 xp per hit.

18 levels in 7,5 minute in a MP server.

Guessing the old woodLogSpike ? Looks like a traffic cone. Think they're still in use on top of the woodPillar100's around one of the Traders too, in case they're causing a pathing hickup.

Nice job on the new Options! Those'll really open up some new & fun options, grats! :)

 
What if I told you that the game would be more fun without stamina? Take the blue pill and you stay in A17, where stopping every 30 seconds to catch your breath is part of the world. Take the red pill, and you discover all that you've been missing.

That, or you can go play minecraft. No stamina there.

I know, right? ;)

Look at the "shades" item.

 
@faatal

here are the two traps. Left = A17 version / Right = A16 version, now only used in prefabs

Ironically the A16 version is named trapSpikesNew, I guess due to a small improvement it has while being damaged. It's not available on creative mode by default.

it's not the log spike but that's an interesting mention because we have that enabled through a mod, so if it has issues would be nice to know.

some people are saying what good is exploration, hit a couple of houses and you are set. a bit of a simplification of the complaint. Some are noticing a bug where high quality items dont have all the slots they are supposed to have.
How about making it that player made items have 2 less slots than the quality level. Randomly found items have a random slot number. now, your reason to explore? Find items with the higher amount of mod slots.

some wont like the idea, but it would encourage exploration of harder poi's
Click to expand...
Why we need to encourage exploration? when the Idea of game is survive, horde, crafting. If someone don't find POI to be explored, then they won't they find other way to survive. think about it how they gonna survive without money, and money cannot easy without exploration. Game doesn't have to force everything. It is random play style that make this game good. If you force Crafting or exploration or Horde fight, you are not making open World game. you are making Dungeon World Game. Nothing should be forced in this game.

But... but. I'm frickin terrified of the damn Creepers!! Sadly, only slightly joking... :(

Last time, the bas**rd got inside the house, I was organizing junk so in an inventory; "hiissss!" oh crap! oh c "BOOM!"

Kidding aside Minecraft Creepers have given me more heart palpitations than anything else, ever.

(except maybe that one summer fling... lordy she could fill out a bikini!)

And that's by no means a commentary on 7dtd, not at all. 7dtd's much appreciated realism basically prevents the Pimps from mixing in some of the quirky bits that make the Creeper what he is. Like how would it fit; the diabolical sunset stalk of the Creeper, waiting just until you're near your little dirt hut, then run in, give -just- enough warning for you to get 4 steps, then Boom!, blows off the side of your house while leaving you half dead and all your crap scattered about. No, the Pimps have done a most excellent job on the scare factor, but, to me, that evil bas**rd Creeper will always be King :twitch:

Yeah indeed. I've had more than plenty of 'OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP' moments with sleepers in Minecraft.. Also in abandoned mineshafts ^^
