PC V2.3 Experimental

[LittleNightma]

This is all really exciting! BUT!!! I want nothing to do with it if you can’t promise me I won’t get locked out of another one of my own servers, still trying to recover from the last two hits I’ve had to take. I’m getting tired of putting tons of effort into something just for it to get deleted/destroyed because you thought finally that “bees should live in the stumps now”.. (for example). Cause I’m not interested in starting over every other day, can we find a way to update without forcing a server into extinction please? This to me is predominately a building game. So forcing a full server reset every update is absolutely BONKERS. This game is the only reason I bought the Xbox series x, and I appreciate it if you were a little more considerate of my time and energy spent playing. Stop deleting my server

TFP don't purposely delete anything of anyone's. The game is still recieving updates because it's not completed yet so that's not going to change.

If you're using Nitrado, they are not the best. Players are having to restore a previous save and reapply the update(s) again because for some reason Nitrado just doesn't apply them correctly the first time.

1.44MB for 3.5". 160kB, 360kB, or 1.2MB for 5.25". I still have disks of both sizes. There were also some 2.88MB 3-1/2", but they weren't very common.

Not sure about the 5.25 but I do know I have a box with 1000+ 3.5" in my attic and maybe a few here in my room.
Aquired quite a few over the years buying games/programs/demos, etc. Plus blanks I had bought to hold my personal data.
I am not sure if I have my old comp around somewhere with a floppy drive on it. I think my bro-in-law has one or two in an old storage shed he had so I could probably technically still use them lol

• Players are allowed to craft additional gear items in the case of death or even for other players

maybe then you need to make the slot for additional equipment blocked until the player passes the biome progression?

Having it sharable means you can have servers where biome progression is on, but still maintain the option for those who don't want to bother with the progression to receive the items from others who have gone through the trouble of unlocking the PPE recipes. They intended for it to be sharable.

I'm still waiting for TFP to port the game over to my comadore 64 and get me a copy on a cartridge for my artari 2600

I was a CoCo user myself. Still have one of those around somewhere too in the original box. May even have the tape player for it. Sadly I don't have the 5.25 floppy for it. I also probably have the 300 baud modem floating around up there somewhere too.
Oh and a few years of Rainbow magazine. I remember the fun/frustration of typing in pages of a programs to try and then losing them when I turned off my machine and it didn't have any storage.
Am just realizing I am a packrat/hoarder. I have tons of old magazines around. PC World, PC Computer, Compute, BYTE etc around from early 90's and later. Maybe even late 80's.

I have everything still for my 64, the monitor, PC (keyboard), the bluechip disk drive, the tape recorder, the modem (which last time I checked about 15 yrs ago, the modem still worked and you could pick up sports and stock reports with it) and then a couple joystick controllers.

Trying to make the biome gear, but its greyed out, what do I have to do so I can make it? Edited : figured it out.

You're on the right track, thank you for these changes! Please reduce the spawn rate of frostclaws and plaguespitters even more, 50% isn't just enough and they still spawn often. Considering how far away and how silently they attack, they are much more dangerous than cops and wasteland mutants, even though they are found in much earlier biomes.

on servers it loses its meaning!!! I have 2 servers and I know what I'm talking about (20+ Players), why do you think anti-cheats exist then? there should be the same conditions for everyone, and if a player doesn't want it, let him look for a server with disabled biome progression

I had sold my original CoCo years ago with it's drive when I upgraded to a proper IBM compatable (Think it was something like the Tandy 1000) But shortly after I missed it and bought another one which is in my attic. Am not 100% sure what is up there with it. I do think like I said the modem and am 1000% sure on the 3.5" disks because they have a lot of personal stuff I wanted to keep. God knows how I thought I was going to get it back off them lol

Currently on console, plague spitters are horrendous in the wasteland, standing at the edge of the wasteland from the pine forest, I can easily see 10+ along with several dire wolves. Can't wait for the update to come out.

One pc that I do miss is my TRS80. Even though it was huge and bulky it was still a fun computer to toy around with. I use to have an old portable sharp computer, that was kind of fun too, threw it away because the hard drive for it crapped out and I wasn't spending $400 on ebay for the replacement lol

My first computer experience was someone showing me their TRS-80 in 1981. From that moment on I was hooked. It was a few months later before I had gotten one myself but since I did I have ALWAYS owned a computer from that day forward...

...and now I will stop talking about this in the experimental channel before I get a warning.

I created this account just to vent about what’s been bothering me with 7 Days to Die.

See that's your issue right thre - this isn't the place to vent, my man. This post is about release notes. "Sir, this is a Wendy's", if you will.

 

[NiteVIper]

Earlier, I couldn't figure out how to craft my biome gear, went to the biome challenges and seen that I had complete the other challenges first in order to unlock the gear challenge. So, if anyone else has that problem, I figured I'd post it here so others who are going through what I went through will have the answers to their questions about how to craft it.

Don’t put words in my mouth, I said find a way to provide updates without sacrificing the products progress for everyone moving forward, cause it’s ruining the experience for me. Been playing this for 7 years, wars have been fought in less time. Fix that problem and watch me shut up.

 

[LittleNightma]

Anyway, your concern has been brought up by many other people. They are trying to find a way to prevent starting over with every major update, but there is no guarantee they can. Weird that you brought up the topic of wars just to get your point across. Tasteless, in my opinion.

While this is good I wish there would be way more optimizations, the fact that around 60 zombies will lower my FPS from around 170 down to 40 is pretty bad. It would help if their logic would run in parallel (to some degree) but I imagine that it's pretty difficult with the spaghetti code, it's not exactly a secret to how the code looks like given anyone can fire up dnSpy or ILSpy and have a look and I studied more of the code then I would like to admit.

The game is already highly optimized. If it were not, you would get 5 FPS.

Optimizing is typically a diminishing return process. In the beginning say you get some code to run 100% faster. Next time 20%, then 5%, then you can barely find anything to make that code faster and your time is better spent elsewhere.

AI or pathing is not the performance bottleneck with zombies. Easily shown by turning off AI and the frame rate barely improves. Most performance goes to culling, drawing, colliding and animation which is largely time spent by Unity.

I feel sorry for the admins and developers of this game. I bet right before they open the forums up, they are cracking open a bottle of excedrine migraine or ibuprofen and sticking a straw in it to prepare for what they're about to put up with.

LOL. It just takes boundaries, purpose and a good sense of humor.

"You can't code". "You are lazy". "You better do x". "The game is dead". Says those who have never experienced a single day with us doing our job or know what our team has to deal with. I would love to have some of these people sit next to me for an entire day to introduce them to reality, but that is not practical. They would be bored anyway watching things like tracking down a bug or testing something over and over again.

Have you played for a while with the reduction? It may take time to see the change as any that were spawned in an area are in the save data, so you would not see less until they respawned or you entered an unexplored area.

Yes, their spawnrate bothered me very much, so right after the update I checked it out in a new world. There are less of them, but still feels like overspawn tbh.
