Best way to deal with irradiated zombies...

Arez, your post reminds me of how I miss being really dark night time, depending only of the torch"s area of light and not seeing further, being scared of every sound. 

Wish it could be back with Storm is brewing, imagine guys,  walking scared in the middle of a storm at night and sometimes the lightnings allow to see more, but for a fraction of seconds.

Right now you can still have that. If you turn the brightness down to 0 it gets extremely dark at night and it's GREAT! Below 50% the brightness setting doesn't affect the day when you're outside but it affects the brightness indoors during the day making it way too dark no matter how bright it is outside.

Прямо сейчас вы всё ещё можете это сделать. Если вы уменьшите яркость до 0, ночью станет очень темно, и это здорово! При яркости ниже 50% она не влияет на день, когда вы находитесь на улице, но влияет на яркость в помещении в течение дня, делая его слишком тёмным, независимо от того, насколько светло на улице.

So play THIS!
Lightning, darkness, put a relay on the socket so you get electrocuted!
You're worse than the enemy if they do that. Until someone makes a mod to restore what was, you play by yourself.
Developers, you've already ruined everything. Construction, weather????
Weather was in the mod "Starvation", you leave the house in the morning and there is snow, the second day again summer. You have a pathetic semblance of that mod. Especially the rain in the desert pleases, it is what kind of education you need to have that would make such a thing!

Mods are one thing, Devs' plans and the timeline they release a feature such as weather s another.

Можете ли вы объяснить мне, о чем, по-вашему, я спрашиваю?
И, пожалуйста, используйте Google Translate, чтобы перевести ваш ответ на английский. Большое спасибо.

With diligent tending, trees bear fruit.

It's funny that you say that.  There was a post last week asking if that mod was even worth using, and the responses were that it was, but that it depended on whether or not you had another mod to fill the slot.  I know I'll add it just to fill a slot if I have nothing else to go in the slot, but I normally don't add it because I think it's all that helpful to me.  I think it depends on difficulty, though.  If you're playing at the highest difficulty, they take a long time to die, so it's useful.  Otherwise, some headshots and they are dead without a problem with decent weapons and perks, so it might save a hit or two but isn't a big deal.

I don't play top end difficulties, but I still like the rad remover for horde night if I've got a base design where injured zombies may get knocked off bridges/ledges etc. and then take a while to get back to my fighting position. Anything using sledge turrets, grenades etc. at elevation tends to do this, but even melee attacks will knock a fair few wounded zombies off a walkway. The rad remover ensures they aren't back to full health when they climb back to you.

Something I think it a really great piece of design is, as far as I'm aware, the rocket launcher is the only way to get AOE rad removal, which gives it a nice use case for an explosives build. Generally thrown explosives are far more efficient for damage dealing, but it's great to have a rocket launcher as well to disable regen. And, of course, it's a very fun weapon and great for killing yourself with.

Go to Google Translate, write your message and translate it to English, then post the translation here. Google Translate does a much better job than whatever you used.

You have a much better change to get replies to your posts if it's in English, as many people will not bother translating the message to know what you were talking (or complaining) about.

Stop planting bears after killing them. You KNOW that will grow beartrees! Work for your meat like the rest of us!

Exactly, in vanilla 7d2d I play insane difficulty, so using antirad mod is a must IMO. Specially with rad wights or in many situations when you can't focus on just one radiated zed.

Is that a rare pic of the famous austrailian drop bear?

That may be less needed after 2.0.  With two more zombie tiers that presumably don't also heal, the percentage of radiated will drop.  Still, there usually isn't anything else you would want to use instead.

@faatal Any updates you can give on the following?

• Vehicle armor - minibike (I know someone, I think it was you, said the bicycle armor wasn't coming, but I don't remember anything about the minibike vehicle armor)
  
• Vehicle storage mods
  
• Marauder armor
  
• Desert Survivor armor
  
• Hoarder armor

Now if that fearsome beast has a ranged cold/slow debuff attack!
That would be some seriously dangerous stuff.

 

[Outlaw_187]

Was it said before they didn't plan on adding anymore guns or melee weapons to the game? 

I think it was Mad Mole who mentioned the game didn't need a bunch of different "similar" types of weapons in the same class. 

I could be wrong on this though and do hope they reconsider. Definitely need more variety.

Well, it is ranged, so it's possible.

What's the point of diversity? In the end, everyone will still run around with the best weapon for their class. A large number of intermediate weapons will create nothing but inconvenience.

The only thing worth considering is adding throwing spears, similar to the bow branch (there are bows and crossbows). I would like to have 2 types of spears, and throwing ones should be in a stack (like grenades, for example).

I wouldn't mind multiple weapons at each tier, as long as they felt different, but I wouldn't want TFP waste time on that.  

Having more different tiers would be a good addition as well, but  they woukd have to move the damage bands around, and thus make the highest tier way op lol.

I really think we need a new tier for the batons, either on the weak end and buff the current stun baton, or add a new tier after the stun baton.

I think having javalins that you can throw would be a good addition.  I would have them count as ammo types.  So you would have wood, iron and steel.
