What we really need to know is.....When the servers update to 2.0 on June 30th, will our saves from experimental still work? This is important to A TON of us that we can keep playing without having to start over!

Probably. But be aware that they will not be stable, that they will likely be missing critical bug fixes, and that they are very likely to eventually become unplayable as a result of issues.

You will notice that we have mentioned several times prior to experimental starting that it is not for long-term gameplay. That you should expect to wipe with each update, and again when Stable drops. At least I have been. Shouting from the hills in threads all over, and a repeated reminder in the Official Discord.

Hey @faatal, quick question if you don't mind, how hard would it be to have an initial cool down on the plague spitter spit attack? Is this something one could mod in easily? (Same thing for the frost claw. )

There is a cooldown in that AI task, and it gets set to a default of 3 on creation, but would be long gone by the time it saw you and decided to attack. Code would have to be added to set the cooldown when they saw you.
 
I think the probability of a loot backpack dropping should be 1%.
When you read lucky looter vol all 7 books, the probability of their backpack is 20% and so it's basically 1% better.

That's too bad, thanks for the reply. 🙏

I actually think it could be less common but, maybe instead, more threatening, which would make it special and unexpected.
Imagine you fight a few and nothing happens, then at some point, one gets pissed off, screams and spits a swarm, this would be a "oh poo" moment.
Right now, it's just mildly annoying.
(Not asking for a change though, I just wanted to see if the code was already in there just in case.)

Yes, 30 visits of 1 minute each... That timer is something like 2 mins and 30 seconds. If you drink a smoothie it extends that timer by 5 minutes, IIRC.

I couldn't tell if you were talking about the 30 minutes to acclimate timer or the 2.5 minutes before getting hurt prior-to acclimation timer.

About the timer in the test. Initially, I responded to schwanz9000's post about the timer being too long. So, if in the first binomes it is indeed too long, then in the wasteland it is more than enough.

In the burnt forest, I was the last to finish mushroom picking, for some reason it took the most time. Looting containers takes the least time, nests count.

Why do you need test version saves? Most likely, POI will be corrected by the release, skills may be adjusted. There are problems with binomial icons in certain game modes, someone complained that with certain settings it is not possible to get them. If you want to play normally and for a long time, then wait for the final version.

Airdrops are not loot at all. You only get one if it falls on your head. If it falls 500 meters or more away, there is no point in going for it, it will be taken faster than you can get there. And it drops rarely. After work, I can play for 3-4 hours, with a day of 120 minutes, this is 2 game days. If an Airdrop falls right before I enter the game, then the next one will fall only after I have already gone to bed. That is, it is quite a normal situation when in a week of real time I will not see a single Airdrop. Therefore, counting on such a random and rare event is at least stupid.

That is more an issue with dedicated servers or P2P hosts who leave the game running all day. For solo and P2P that runs only when a limited number of people are there to play (these are how most people are playing the game), you're going to see air drops regularly and they since you're playing co-op, they don't get stolen by people.

That's fair. Will there continue to be fixes and updates to that version or would we be somewhat stuck with what we've got? I assume the latter?

The next update after 2.0 stable will likely be 2.1 after a month or two. They usually only do frequent updates during experimental unless a serious game breaking bug appears that they have to fix right away.
