V2.5 Survival Revival Dev Diary

My first Red-moon 2.5.
I set my base up for the attack. I had what I thought was a thin but solid defense. A single layer of cobblestoned wall fully enclosed. With a stairwell leading up surrounded by wood spikes. Which was more like blocks that you would need to jump on. I figured that I would funnel them up into my Killzone.
But they didn't try to jump up. No they went around. to the sides and back of my base. I didn't know why but they attacked the walls. I shot them but they kept at it. The only thing that saved me from being over run was that I kept the doors on the upper level of my base closed. Causing me to have to move to my fallback position. Which I thought that I would never have to use.
After some hard fighting, I found out what had happened.
While I did have a single layer, I was using wood frames for most of the floor. Also the zombies can crawl though a 1x1x1 opening Vs. 1x2x1x for people. Something I forgot about. But the other thing is that it seems that the game seems to measure Voxels in and around the base to look for weak points and then attack.
I am on to you Fun pimps and your Sneaky ways! 😁
 
They’re buggy as hell. Sometimes you get punched by an invisible ghost. You look down and there’s just a random head poking out of the floor. When they move under the floor, they look like sharks and the Jaws theme music starts playing in my head.
Yes they really need to fix that. Once again that crawl mechanic at work, lol.
 
Still killing with shovels I see, Sillls :)
Thanks. 😁

I am the one who came up with the idea of shovel spears. Long before spears were in the game. :)
In case anyone was wondering, the Camara button is `~ key. Located just below the Esc key. Which will allow you to toggle the camara.
It would be great if someone would put this in the update. So everyone could find it.
 
I don't understand... sometimes I can keep playing 2.5 for hours on end, and sometimes I CTD after 15 minutes!
I think it's my computer, or Windows, or the graphics card, or... whatever. 😶
 
In the nursing home POI, I would block the first doorway you come across, after you go through the underground pipe, with a hatch. I'd be fighting a bunch of zombies and then all of a sudden one of them would hit me from behind (pause). It turned out the zombies would glitch into the floor and pop back up in the room behind me.

Here's another glitch I've been coming across. A couple of POIs, so far, start to collapse once I activate the quest.
I reported it.
