Well, now you made me check.. happy now?
Thanks! So, if we didn't want wandering monsters at all, this setting would do that. I guess I didn't exactly phrase my question properly, in that, I need to know if there is a difference between wandering monsters, spawned all over the place, and fixed monsters within a PoI? I ask because I don't know, and I thank you for your help.Well, now you made me check.. happy now?
- Spawned in my test world, ran around in snow until I saw couple lumberjacks spawn.
- Exit, turn setting off, see the previously spawned lumberjacks where they were, but run around to see only rabbits spawning from there on out
- Exit, turn setting back on, no running around needed to spot the first lumberjack spawn a couple dozen blocks away.
Yeah, soz, those were indeed just biome spawns. I did poke my head into a couple POIs and didn't have any zeds spawn in those either, until turning the setting back on.
Gotcha, so now I'm wondering if there was any point to trying the game with that setting set to off.
If you just wanted to explore and build, it would be fine to turn it off. I've often considered turning off all zombies except for horde nights, because I don't particularly see any benefit to them during the rest of the week.
Being able to walk into POI and loot everything without any danger seems pretty boring to me.
I can already do that. The zombies aren't really a threat, more of an annoyance. Granted, I bought the game mostly for the building and tower defense aspects. I actually don't like FPS games at all.Being able to walk into POI and loot everything without any danger seems pretty boring to me.
Thanks for the help. I got the discord sounds working correctly again, so my discord is now WAD (Working As Designed). The remaining problem is that, for some reason, my installed copy of 7days is treating my ingame sound settings as if I were crouched down, even while standing. This makes it very hard to play, when I cannot hear the zombies sneaking up on me.Game AND Discord? Well, sounds like a system setting; OS controls or the volume knob on your headset..
Ok, I'll assume that.
Inventory space is really trivial as it is. Making it more so isn't a great option. As it stands, when you are more powerful like you're talking about, you've gained a drone and vehicles with more storage. Unless you're trying to scrap an entire large building on your own or trying to loot many POI at once or something, you have a ton of space available and shouldn't be running out of space. A drone filled with storage mods can hold more than you can. The 4x4 can hold more than you can as well. I don't have the inventories open in front of me to get the total numbers, but your total goes up to over 3x what your personal inventory would be. That is a LOT of space. And if it's really still a problem, it's trivial to drop a storage chest for some temporary storage until you can move it to your base. The game should have some inventory management requirements, regardless of your level. I don't think removing that is good even if it is already trivial. They definitely shouldn't let you put a vehicle in your inventory that is full of stuff.Ok, I'll assume that.
I know this game has been around for quite some time, but for me there is still undiscovered areas on the map and undiscovered game content to experience for the very first time. Given also that the few folks I know that played this game back in the day, and all of them agree that the game has changed over the years from what it once was to what is has become today, and what it will become in the future, are you really saying that new players/customers should not come on these forums and enthusiastically share their ideas for what they (rightly or wrongly) think will make this game even better than it already is? That would be disappointing.
On the matter of encumbrance and storage, I really like the current mechanic where I can choose to overload my little digital dude, and suffer hidouse mobility restrictions, or I can spend a handful of points and fully unlock all 45 of my carrying capacity. What I don't like is that, as my character becomes more and more powerful (thus being actually able to survive more and tougher enemies), I gain no additional carrying capacity, nor is there any way to gain such, (speaking only of the characters backpack, mind you). Personally, I see this as something worth calling out to the dev's, as they made a system for low levels to have something to fool around with, going so far as to add in items to the game specifically to allow more unencumbered carrying capacity, (item mods or spending skill points). This tells me that the low end of this issue is/has been looked at, but what about at the high end, where the more capable character cannot carry anymore than a low level one could do, even though they can kill more zombies, and collect more loot as a result? The game allows for infinite storage when you bring your loot back to base, but no scaling up of carrying capacity to match a characters growing capacity to loot.
Now enter the realm of the mods, where a first time player can start their adventures and carry (encumbered) up to 160 spaces in their stash.
I think something needs be done for the folks that play without mods/cheats, and think a discussion about how this could be implemented for those that stick around in basic (unmodded) 7dtd past level 100 would be a good (and entertaining) subject.
OTOH, if such is verboten, say so and I'll drop it like a hot potato.
