Personal Note:
I no longer make any clubs.

Instead I just use the stone axe as it swings much faster and because of that it does more damage in a shorter amount of time DPS wise.

5-6 swings in the same time it tales to swing 2 times with clubs.

Not to mention the cheaper cost of making it.

The stone axe has an attack speed of 0.8 with 4-10 damage (based on quality) and a headshot multiplier of 5. This gives it a headshot dps of 16-40.

The wood club has an attack speed of 1.33 with 8-14 damage and a headshot multiplier of 4. This comes out with a headshot dps of 42.56-74.48.

The lowest quality wood club has a higher dps than the highest quality stone axe. A the difference is even greater for attacks that aren't headshots.

your calculations are a bit off

stone axe: 5x4-10 =20-50

wooden club: 4x8-14=32-56

and your forgetting the swing factor which to me seems wrong as I know that if I get on a zombie that has fallen right away i can swing 6 times with the stone axe and only twice with any other club.

so now lets take it to the next level

stone axe: (20-50)x3 swings=60-150

wooden club: (32-46) x1 swing =32-46

and 1 swing with any of the other clubs does not beat that of the 3 swings with the stone axe except only equal to with the spiked club :)

Don't drink and maths kids. I applied attack speed completely wrong.

Wood club - (8-14) / 1.33 * 4 = 24.1-42.1

Stone axe - (4-10) / 0.8 * 5 = 25-62.5

Despite you still being wrong about how often you can swing the stone axe verses the clubs, you are right about the dps being higher against the wood club. However this becomes a totally different story for the barbed club and up, as the base damage and headshot multipliers make them definitively higher.

 
Um..STEAM?? No thnxAlthough I think ICE would be a must in the winter biomes

What I think he is referring too is the fact that water doesn't flow right and does not seam to correct itself when you break the water blocks by placing a frame and than removing the frame.

That was a joke, man. Steam and ice are different states of water and the guy was asking about reworking.....oh never mind....

Yes, I too hope the water physics get some love.

 
Sorry misread

What would you love to be added to the game next, guys?

I think this would be a nice own thread. Would be hard to read the A17 with all that wishes for a other game

ohh misread, thought you meaned the next game.

Cheers

 
Why is it that both the Behemoth and Zip lines are on the cutting room floor? In other words, being cut out of the game?

I mean Madmole showed us a video of a working model of Zip lines just before Alpha 16 came out. From what we could tell. It was working good. Last I heard, it just needed a bit more work and was coming out in this Alpha.

The Behemoth I think that I even saw a hint of that in a video that Roland posted around veterans day.

Both seemed very promising so why the hatchet?

I mean I did not hear anything about any real problems with it. Now this comes right out of the blue? Why?

 
Here's a suggestion: why can't we have seasons in 7 days? Snowing animation already isn't contained by snow biome borders. If i enter snow biome it appears to be snowing in adjacent biomes also. Make this effect global and tweak the temperature fluctuation and you've got winter.

 
It still seems unclear so I agree, you are in a Desert B going up in El. & still looks like a DB but it is snowing. Are you in a DB or SB? I don't think there is a specific SB just that it snows in all Biomes it seems.
