Ravenhearst Mod
- Thread starter JaxTeller718
- Start date
Game is balanced around multiplayer. Also early on without any skills all weapons do very little damage. Together this means groups of several people can go through lots of ammo in first few weeks, before they can make their own ammo.
Food and water shouldn't be an issue if you looting regular houses (kitchens in particular). Big apartment buildings are very valuable. Remember to make microwave ASAP. Pour all canned food into bowls, and then heat them in the microwave.

This is known issue with those models. To avoid this problem, place forge / blacksmith station, then immediately start them and stop them.

what vitamin said, @shin.
while the fire power loot IS a little more than intended it's supposed to be heavy. non gun classes cannot make ammo at all without drops, starting weapons are pretty crappy in performance along with the player having no skills. it'll be a while in most cases until you find calipers to craft your ammo, and stuff takes a lot of bullets to kill... until you level up and get skills.
ravenhearst is by no means created for or balanced around mp, it's tested more so in sp and is supposed to be difficult and extend the game.
jax however created it for and with his MP server long before it grew into what it is. people confuse that with being made with mp in mind.
server is mostly solo and small co-op, not hordes of players banding together.
on food, get in those houses and loot. best chances for twine happen in the mundane dwellings, also.
keep that salt and make jerky, food gets easier as it goes.

In addition to this, if you have horde count max'd out in settings (assuming default difficulty level), you will easily use a majority of all that ammo on one horde night.
IF loot amount is set to 100%, there should be plenty of food, even on MP servers. Dont make just one type of food, salt is as precious, if not more, as twine is. Later game higher end food uses a LOT of salt, so dont use it all on just jerky as suggested.

Will this work if you pick up the station and reposition it?

Ofcourse, that 'time' part is crucial.
Actually I didn't have problem first time I placed Blacksmith station (with Advanced forge still no 'internal flame' bug) but after base rearranging it happens almost every time I load a game so I don't bother any more. Didn't see any side effects of station burning all the time. One torch less at night. grizzlebizzle

Is there a download link for the Client? For non-Windows platforms that aren't supported by the mod launcher? I tried the server download but it seems to be missing a few things.

**Updated June 15th**
We are currently testing a beta candidate for 4.0. If this testing goes well we'll be putting some polish on it and then stress testing with our private whitelist for about a week or so. Estimates for release are early - mid July. I know this MAY clash with A17, and that was NOT my intention but I also know not everyone jumps into Experimental right way and waits for Alphas to be pushed to public release so this will give them something to bide their time until then. 4.0 is a MASSIVE reworking of everything in every area and adds a LOT more to do and accomplish. We know you will love it.
Below is a small preview of what we have in store for you guys. More info and news will be released as we get further along. There is no estimated arrival date at this point but when we get a clearer vision of a time we will announce it. We want to make this one a smooth launch and avoid rushing it out at the end to meet a date like we did with 3.
Summary of Some Changes
-Cooking Class and quests
-New Night Terrors
-Additional and returning POIs
-New RWGMixer
-Consolidated Appliance Table Station (Combines microwave, coffemaker and blender into one station to reduce station bloat)
-New Night Terror sounds and noises
-Reworked Class Quests
-Bandits Make Their Comeback
-New Deco Items: Storage, Doors, more to come
-New ores and minerals for more specific recipes. Limestone and Carbon with more to come.
-Class Exclusives are now EXCLUSIVE and have been removed from loot (High Value Weapons)
-No more single repair kit for every item. All weapons and tools have their OWN repair kits (Gun Repair Kit, Blades Repair Kit etc) each made with different materials that make sense for the items)
-Gun Parts return from scrapping parts and can be used to repair guns
-Beehives you can craft and harvest for honeycomb and wax
-Consolidated Advanced Forge and Blacksmiths Station. The new Blacksmiths Forge is a beast and can make all metals and advanced recipes the AF and BS used to make.
-Animals have a chance to drop Infected Meat. This meat can be "cured" through a process to become edible again.
-Reworked Survival Class now feels like Survival. Exclusive Stone Hammer for Survival that acts as a basic wrench and repair tool you can craft but does not harvest as much as a wrench. Great starting tool.
-Stone Knife for Survival Class that gives more harvest than a bone shiv
-Rain Collectors and Chicken Coops are now unlocked immediately for Survival Class but wont be easy to craft.
-New Carpenter's Bench replaces Wood Chipper. All wood items are made in it. Frames are still craftable on inventory.
-Trioxin is now Medical Class Exclusive but can be unlocked at Player Level 80 now.
-New zombies that can turn on each other and assist you but will STILL attack you. Their block damage is higher than normal zombies so don't watch for too long!
-The Pig....is STILL a bastard.
-Rebalanced Archery Perks and Damage
-Gun Classes will now have the opportunity to be rewarded the Bullet Crafting Schematic after they complete their first quest.
-All new The Ultimate Survivor Quest that you read when you enter the game. It is a journey for unlocking ALL classes and will reward you handsomely for completing it.
-New Encumbrance system thanks to the genius of Sphereii. Items will now have a weigh value. There are 4 tiers of Encumbrance. Each tier as you fill your bag will slow you down and drain your stamina.
-New reworked Infection and Rest Buff System
-Car Alarms can now be triggered randomly and will alert nearby zombies to your presence.
-New Lockpicking Skill. Safes now have much stronger health. You will need to become an expert Lockpick to unlock them. You start by unlocking doors and chests and as your skill grows you can craft Picks that can easily open safes. But you will need to find a special Drill to crack these safes first.
-Rebalanced Loot (Crowbars, Wrenches and some schematics will now have more chances to appear in loot)
-Over 15 new POIs so far and growing, some super rare, others more common. Some made just for RH. Special Hive versions of Traders and Magoli POIs! You wont know what you got until you are inside one
-Some new fruits and food prep items. Unfortunately no fruit trees as we are absolutely OUT of IDs but promise when 17 RH happens we WILL have more model space to work with
-NEW Blacksmiths Forge combines the Advanced Forge and Blacksmith Station into one powerful station.
-Hollow Point Rounds, with appropriate tips make their return for all guns
-Incendiary Ammo Makes its return!
-Bullet Casings are now round specific to add to realism of bullet crafting.
Video preview of a Hive POI.
Video of me walking through a Hive POI. Hive POIs will have LOTS of low health zombies and a crate with special items in it in the middle of the house or business. These will look like any other house, so you will not know what you get until you are in it. These will be rare.

Thank you for your opinions. We appreciate that you gave us a shot. Perhaps some more constructive feedback so that we can look into areas that may need some work would be beneficial.
That said never been a fan much of people who feel the need to announce why they wont be watching or playing something. I get the intention was most likely to make a point, but again some feedback would be much more ideal so that we can pinpoint areas that need some work so that we can offer you a satisfying play experience.

The ammo issue is most certainly being dealt with in 4. The initial reaction from players was "Oh damn we cant craft ammo unless we are a gun class" and my knee jerk reaction was to offer more bullets in loot. It was a change i did NOT want to make and it will be rectified.

This is from our Discord
"Some of our stations have a fire effect that will not extinguish. This is due to the the custom 3-d asset not saving properly. There are 2 fixes for this.
1. When you place a new station make sure you place something in it and turn it on and then off again. This will "save" the model as working properly and you will not have the permanent fire issue.
2. If you already placed the station, you can empty it and pick it up if it is in a land claimed spot. Place it back down and then do the steps in 1. Place it, light it up and turn it off to "save" it.
Unfortunately this is the only way to fix this issue on custom assets without removing the fire effect and sound completely and then you will not know if it is on or off unless looking inside it."

Yea I get crashes at different times with different errors in the log. It is not consistent. Often I will crash before the main menu but a few times I made it into creating a new world. One time the world was almost created before it crashed. I guess there's just something about the mod that makes it incompatible with my platform. I also tried running the 32 bit version and it didn't help. The base game runs great, though.

Anyone have the dedicated server working on Linux? Or is that not supported even for the dedicated server? I get "Aborted" eventually after creating a few folders for the world but not actually generating it with this in the log:
