Question I didn't see in the FAQ that has come from my community:
Once we are on 1.0, will each content drop (Storm's Brewing, A New Threat, The Road Ahead) invalidate the previous save game and require players to start over?
This one seems like it would be a huge issue for console players who won't have the option of staying on older versions to keep their save games.
Apologies in advance if already asked/answered - skimmed the 30+ pages and didn't see this one.

That was just mean...or should I say in bad taste lol. IDK what they taste like so just guessing.

We will be trying to avoid that as much as technically possible. Hopefully a save will at least partially load by converting the data we can.

So in comparison to the PC version, what specs will console be running at?
For example is it pretty much medium settings or better than that?

Hagashi Medical building in the picture for scale. Over 1k zombies in itSome of those are proof of concepts and/or facades for possible future content. They are not all guaranteed to go into production. Dishong is still currently the tallest skyscraper in A22 / 1.0.
We are still focused on downtown remnant POIs currently, but it is still possible for extra unplanned content to squeeze in if we have time so there is still hope.
Out of curiosity, what new POI would people like to see in A22 / 1.0 if you could only pick one? Sorry, no airports or yachts...

I assume, like most settings, this would be togglable? I myself see this as being nice to spice up a lot of lategame files, but I could see this being problematic if players are used to the rather calm nature of the world (at least in the forest biome) outside of blood moons/wandering hordes.I don't have all the details, but my initial desire for an event is a mini blood moon, that can happen any day, with some warning to get back to your base. They could also be bandits or a mega zombie. Vulture swarm. Bandits lobbing mortars at your base that you have to go out and stop. A tornado or earthquake would be cool, but you can't fight that. Land shark burrowing up into you base. Sand worms. Trader's wife taken hostage, so you have to get her back or pay ransom. Bandit duel where you each get one shot. Bandit drag race. Timed race to get somewhere. Bandits kidnap you and wake up in random location. I'm sure I can make some more up.

Oh, and another POI type that would be great would be ones with docks and a way for them to spawn in places where they stick out into the water. To be clear, I'm not talking about including water in the POI for the dock like on the wedding POI. I'm talking about a dock POI that can spawn next to a river or a lake or the sea, with the dock sticking into the water.
More cave or mine POI that spawn well in random locations. A large bus station that is open concept rather than dungeon style would be nice. Maybe another field hospital or two. You would expect to see them all around with this kind of epidemic.
Perhaps even some POI that include some special lighting or fog effects or other ambient effects. No cable POI do this but you can see it in and custom POI and it looks really good. Hide some lights and add some fog and you get some really interesting effects. Of course, you need it to look like it belongs, so that is the trick. And there are of course performance concerns with those things, but if you keep it small, like in only one part of the POI, it should be fine.

I just like seeing more stuff, so I'll be happy regardless. If I really have to pick one, then another skyscraper is naturally good for fleshing out a busy downtown in a larger city, and it's something modders have trouble doing well because it's a big, intensive job, but other buildings we're missing include:
Public Library main branch
Concert Hall
Museum
Elementary school
Federal/State Building (could be a skyscraper - nice to have a non-commercial one)
Amusement Park (probably not feasible due to needing multiple tiles)
University Campus branch location ("AZU Navezgane Campus")
T5 military site which is very different from Red Mesa
But to be honest, one thing I notice is that RWG tends to have a lot of small towns, so there's a LOT of pressure on small houses and the more modest rural commercial/industrial sites and you run into them early game too. If I really wanted to increase variety, that's what I'd beef up. A couple POIs we haven't seen which fit into that framework could be:
Meat-packing plant
Industrial bakery
Small trucking company location
Self-storage
Standalone donut shop
1-2 'cemetery' variations on the vacant lot filler (not like the Crypts, just gravestones)
Rest stop-style multi- franchise fast food restaurant (the sort where you have one building, but with two+ counters inside).
Powersports store
Farm equipment store
A second small church (IIRC, there's one in the game files, though I never seem to see it). Extra points for one which visibly used to be a different kind of building, like the Pizza Huts-turned-church you see out there.
For a standalone wilderness remnant, how about an oil drilling rig?

Should be a mix of medium and high. It does render lower and upsample like many console games do.
I did get FSR 3 rendering working a few days ago on PC and looks good other than a few minor blur issues, but it has not been tested on Mac/Linux or console yet.

Agree with all these. There are docks in game files as Navezgane-only, so I suspect there just needs to be a way to make them spawn using RWG.
Oh is the big junkyard gone? Booooo.

In 1.0, RWG will more successfully make cities/towns, so there are more of the bigger ones.

I'll sometimes play what I call a "sprint." The idea is that I start in one corner of the map and have to exit the map on the far corner by a certain time limit. I might give myself 2-3 game days to cross an 8k map. else I got caught by the horde and died. That's about 11km of travel. I can make it extend across multiple maps by generating a new world, briefly starting a new game, then copying my character from the previous game over. Others have suggested instead of crossing from corner to corner, walking the edge of an 8k map, so that would be about 30-32 km of travel on a single map.
I've done some of that by making a Tile that is most a big lake and then making dock POI to fit a unique footprint and tag so that RWG only puts docks on the lakefront.
But Riamus' suggestion of being able to "stick" a POI to a river, lake, or map edge would be very nice.
Something perhaps too ambitious would be allowing an RWG settlement to have a "river district" the let a river flow linearly through the settlement. The trick is now RWG has to arrange for both road and river connectivity. Current districts go together as either clumps or as a surrounding district.

A possible way to make this work with RWG is to have it check the edge of the POI to see if water is touching the edge anywhere. If so, it attempts to place the POI where the water on the POI connects to the water on the map. Granted, that info isn't in the XML. Still tricky, but it would be a good way to handle it, I think.

I think a poi that spawns at water/a river would be absolutely dope. Would definitely look forward to more reasons to explore outside of cities, and that would also add some cool set dressing and detail to the world.
