Bahahahahahahaha.... but still make dog and cat food to good use. I have never ate it no matter how starving I was. Make the cat food dog food and sham sandwiches for animals lol

The thing about dog/cat food is that it can actually be high quality food. Not that I’m eating dog food mind you.

Just that a company here in Canada started a rather large Elk farm a few years back. Some how figured that Elk meat would sell well up here. In the end, it didn’t. So they ended up having to sell it all off as dog food.

Very expensive dog food.

So your pet food could end up being better quality than you realize.

You want a spoon or a fork? A cold beer with that tin of chunks?

Wow!

Can we get a shorter model for Guppycur...?

 
I notice whenever playing on a multiplayer server that the bulk of players log out of 7th night, due to this I started thinking how the players who stay on and fight could be rewarded without penalizing those who choose to just log off for the night. What I have come up with is the idea of a possible buff that would last 2-3 days which would grant extra XP; the only way to recieve said buff would be to live through the entire horde night. My other idea which would help localize the reward to those who actually fight the zombies would be to just make the xp gained from horde night zombies expotentially higher than what you get normally through zombie killing... anywho , just thought I would put it out there to see what others think of the idea.

 
Can we ride the wolf and attach a 50 cal Turret ?

The wolf would constantly complain about the loss of brass as mine does. Making one .50 cartridge would take about 4 times the resources as a 7.62mm.

My dire wolf doesn't complain about the quad SMG turret on him, it's the hot tub he has to haul and my choices of girl friends though.

 
Checking out some mods something incredibly obvious hit me in the face.

Where are the plastic bottles here? Do you think maybe we could see water shifted to futaristic biodegradable plastic insead of having to drink out of glass jars?

Its nice to be able to make glass jars to store water and maybe jam in the future or yucca and blueberry juice (please add this :p ) but you would really think that people would be drinking beer and water and other energy drinks from plastic, not to find jars of moonshine and jam jars full of water in peoples cupboards.

Also modders have added a crap load of stuff in the mod played by Games4Kickz and it's nice to see that variation. Food should add other debuffs too. The only thing is to what extent, because stat changers may be deemed as too micromanagerial.

I would really admire a view and possible overhaul of the basic items though especially considering some of them have been around since Alpha 1. Also almost 3 weeks and no video, dare I incur the wrath of the orphanage and ask,

'Please sir, can we have some more?'

That schoolbus looks awfully similar to one from a russian mod that was linked here somewhere. If we could drive it that would be great.

Also, one thing I would really like to see is zombies with weapons. It would be nice to have a chance at taking a knuckleduster from the biker zombie, or perhaps a bike chain that he uses as a weapon. Maybe a kitchen knife from some of the crazy mothers or the putrid girl.

Once the developers are done focusing on game systems they will add more things and diversify. The reason modders can add so many items is that they aren't developing the game itself.

I've heard the suggestion to switch to plastic bottles off and on over the years but TFP has stuck with glass jars. Its almost a signature look for the game now. I'm sure they could change it to plastic bottles but drinking from jars feels like 7 Days to Die.

There was supposed to be a video of the Doe and the Buck plus a few other things and if it got delayed it means there were reasons and they have been working to get things in a state that will make a good impression.

I watched that video of the Russian bus and there are a number of differences between the two. There are only so many ways to render a school bus after all. There is only one drivable car planned at this point and that is the little 2-seater Jeep he showed the concept art for. I wouldn't hold hopes up for being able to drive the bus.

See great post. One I don't think anyone can find an issue with. +1 to this post :-).

There are a tonne of great stuff in the mod section. Unfortunately TFP can only add so much. However the rest is where the modders come Into it and will continue to add to it to.

And as the game progresses the more modders will be able to do to. After gold tho one can only imagine with all the toys TFP will give the modders as well as the modders own creativity and hard work.

I dare suggest you also check out the sdx section to they add objects normal modding cannot.

Re: the bus I said the same thing lol. But yeh would live more variety of vehicles in the game even if they are purely lootable only like army tanks fire engines. Ambulances. Helicopters. Pllanes etc. Surely the end of the world zombie apocalypse would not make these disappear lol. Altho due to the block limit I can see why they aren't but hopefully the low block ids there is will shortly be rectified.

 
Glass jars vs plastic... Is this really what is focused on now??!!??

What about the really real issues the game is facing right now?

Like: SI, electrical system, AI, collisions... The list goes on...

Sure! We are in alpha... But that should only help you to keep perspective! This is a non issue...

Oh, and then there's this:

I'm pretty sure that's a sub topic of: #TrollGate

But as there is nothing new except for the intriguing Perk/Item/Skill unifying system, which could keep active minds occupied for months. Why not talk about plastic bottles vs glass jars?

Its a game changer for sure...

 
The crazy effects are what mods are for. =P
Think "heavy boots that make you sprain/break your legs less often".

You keep hammering on that boot so much there better be a Grand Spartan Special boot when a17 comes out!
