I just cleaned out one in b221. Haven't been able to play the new build yet thanks to work, but I doubt they took it out.

 
Ok, they have seriously ♥♥♥♥ed up the rate of max stamina degrade. I'm pretty sure nobody is going to make it to the first trader with more than 40 max stamina on 120 minute days, meaning people on 50-60 minutes are still going to get there at about 50-60 stamina. Stop trying to destroy gameplay to increase challenge. People like fun, not being gimped to death.

Are you kidding me? It’s a mistake. They’ve already stated they went too far and will be pulling it back. How about approaching the experimental builds you voluntarily downloaded with a degree of restraint and give the developers the benefit of the doubt? The harvest numbers are also off as well as the xp gains. So cool it.

Experimentation is going on here.

Stone yield from Boulder thirds = 10 Stone, for 25 hits of Stone Axe

**** Make sure to -punch- each 400 HP segment so that you over-hit and get Bonus Stone & XP

Edit: Just saw your post Roland, I hadn't seen mention of the _yields_ being off, just the xp; good to hear the yields are known.

Something cool I just saw with the AI.. A zombie was stuck behind a slower walking type, It attacked and knocked down the other zombie so it could get in front of him. sic, hope thats intended. Looked cool.

Yes. There is a chance a zombie will ragdoll another zombie in the way.

Not sure if I've just been spoilt with Ravenhearst or what, but have noticed A LOT of roads towering though the terrain at near right angles and then plummeting down just as far in A17. Terrain needs a slight tweak to perhaps not raise giant mountains in the middle of roads or to completely tower around small water sources. The number of times I've been peddling up a hill, get to the top and almost Thelma & Louise it into a mine-filled pond is getting old real quick.

Lol, yeah, just ragdolled one and another behind it picked it up and threw it behind him. At least it looked that way. Started laughing enough that I kept missing my hits. Luckily didn't die, but man, that was great.

--edit---

Anyone else having issues using mods that even say work for this build? If I try to use one, all my bag slots become encumbered, I don't have stam regen, and sprinting doesn't use stam, but attacks still do. So I can hit 0 stam and never get it back, lol. I had to go in, see what they changed, and change it in the actual files. Just doing it for now because of all the weirdness. But yeah, is that actually a thing or something up on my end? Doing the normal making a Mods folder then moving the modded folder that I downloaded into the Mods folder. At first I thought it was just because I had more than 1, but then tried even just 1 and it still would cause that issue. I then cleaned, validated, ran it with no mods, it was fine. So then moved a single mod back, and boom, broke it again. Only not reporting it as a bug because it has to do with mods, but never had this issue prior to this build.

Since there is chatter about imbalance and easy xml adjustments, is there a chance of a quick hotfix update before the holiday break? I'd rather an official version for the next 3 weeks than just adding modlets in that affect experimental gameplay.

As far as food scarcity, the two of us did nomad till day two to meet up in our mp, and between us we had over 250 meat and I think 20 eggs for bacon and eggs. You just have to get out there and hunt.

BTW, I love the new ground and grass textures, and the new rippling effect on the water's banks.

We aren't having any issues adapting to the new systems, so I think a lot of the recent complaints are a bit over the top.

True. Which is why I didn’t just ban him. :)

I like Skullpoker. He’ll be fine once he knows the change wasn’t intended.

Where/How do you guys find traders? Legit been walking around for 2 days then nerd polling up 150 meters to see around if I see one... and can't. The ones with the quest was not close to a town so i went to 0,0 there was a slightly moderate size town but no traders in sight.. tips?

 
Hunger occurs from stamina regen, so its possible you were using more stamina from all the mining, especially if you were power attacking. For me I tried 1 perk of slow metabolism a few builds ago and I didn't have to eat for ages and ages, and all I do is run around and kill stuff with an axe or ride a bicycle which drains my stamina a lot. Anyhow we are testing some adjustments and another build will come when it feels better.

It's noon on day one, I've eaten twice and drunk my water. I've starving and dehydrated. My stamina is less than 50% and I've barely left the starting area. This doesn't seem well balanced to me.

Finish the opening quest line and you get the location of one.

Or...for the cheat-y types...open your seed in the map viewer and see where they are :p

 
Even more fun: When I turned enemies back on, my POI base refilled its sleeper volumes. Good times. (Yes, LCB and bedroll were down.)

That only works if the POI is flagged as being cleared of sleepers. Just turning off enemies will not flag a POI as cleared and the sleepers will spawn in when you turn them back on.
