PC Is alpha 21 going to make a bookstore the most important find in the game?

Zombie loot bags are super rare outside of horde night, so I would never think of them as a source of ammo other than to replenish during/after a blood moon.

But since every PoI has a loot room I can still count on oodles of ammo everywhere I go.

That's the thing though. Loot bags are rare, but there are ammo piles in nearly every POI now. Every main loot area has them usually, and the locked chests usually have some as well. Treasures are usually large amount of ammo. Quests rewards are ammo more often than not. Traders always have a bunch of ammo. You can even find small amounts in other random loot. It's everywhere now. Lol.

I would just say that I would not want us to go in the other direction.  There are games where ammo is so rare/limited that you have to always go for one hit kills, sneak everywhere, and use other weapons than guns.  There isn't anything wrong with a game like that, but I don't really care for those.  I'm fine with some balancing in the amount of ammo, but not too far the other way.

It doesn't have to go that far, but it's already gone too far towards ammo being basically infinite. Personally, I'd be fine with it being "a game like that" because, ya know, survival. But that pushes it into more of a niche, so I understand them not doing that. But they already lowered default difficulty, and most of the changes made from A19 on have made the game easier in general. Ammo, gas, weapons, vehicles, traders, etc. Too easy. It does seem like A21 might finally bring some balance to some of these things, so hopefully they've dialed back at least a little.

A lot of this could be remedied in a vanilla way with better game options. More loot slider options would be great. Or if loot percentage as it is now worked better than it does.
