PC DEVELOPERS!!!! Knife is overpowered, Too much accent on looting aspect

I kinda feel like they do only test on Navezgane where you naturally have to leave the forest if you do the quests as every building only exists once.


Interesting, didnt know those details of Navezgane, but I only played it once when i got the game.

Just try to power attack with knives, they consume significantly less stamina and dmg almost identical to that of machete
Well a knife does way weigh about half or less than a machete so that makes sense stamina wise.

What's the difference in durability? That is significant when it comes to a weapons viability. I would guess knives are lower than machetes, which is a nerf in and of itself.

 
Despite OP beeing a nuisance here, he is right about the 1-2km radius. You basically can stay within the city you spawn the whole playtrough. There is no motivatioin whatsoever to leave the forest biome, well lootstage but as you also don´t get the higher gamestage bonus when staying in the forest you don´t need bonus for your loot. Not even for aloe or oilshale you need to leave the forest anymore.
I can only speak for my experience but I do a lot of quests and the traders often send me to other biomes especially for the T5 and T6 quests.

But it also depends on the map. My maps are usually 8k maps. If you are in the center then you have 4 kilometers to each side. So a radius of 2 kilometers covers half of the map and always includes other biomes in my maps.

What I would not like is if we were forced to move to other biomes. Moving from one base to another is a pain. So I'm happy if I don't have to do that too often. And I like the pine forest. Moderate temperatures and the weather is better than in most other biomes. The desert isn't bad to live in either but the heat sucks.

 
@RipClaw Well it´s a progression ofc. There is no need to move, once you have a minibike you can simply just get what you need or want from other biomes. Make a little outpost in each so you can stay there for 2 or 3 days maybe. 

I am not talking about having to live there. But right now you don´t even have to go there once at all if you don´t want to. And exactly that was the reason they removed the plains and burnt forest biome. They weren´t necessary. Now snow and wasteland at least do offer a challenge. The desert not so much, only if you go there right at start. 

Temperature is a non issue tbh. Most annoying thing is the icon in the bottom left corner.

 
Maybe OP saw the guy who always posts himself naked and running around with nothing but steel knuckles on Reddit and based everything on that. :V

The desert may still have actual use as a source for oil shale.

Not really. As you must loot and quest a lot,  because you will otherwise don´t get any books and water, you have more than enough money to buy it from the traders. And also wrenching cars. With the minibike we don´t even need to go in the desert in MP Coop if we don´t want to. 3 traders within 1.5km, about 8k gas every 3 days to buy from each. More than enough. And as you don´t need to leave the forest there is no reason for other vehicles.

Well...depends on your map too. Most of my higher tier POIs are not in the forest in the map I've been on for 128 or so days. I was trying to get what passes for a more interesting map these days that the current @%$# generator pukes out and so I didn't min-max for large urban areas. The map is pretty lame for a power gamer, but it's home for now.

Obviously I've got a copter by now so I could live where I choose anyway, but Jen is in the snow and Jenny and me is like peas and carrots (but seriously, it was the most convenient centrally located trader with a lot of good flat open ground around it). So yeah, I spend most of my time in the snow. I do get a lot more meat and leather.
