PC V3.0 Dead Hot Summer Dev Diary

So, I just had an odd occurrence in game. I went to fill my bath and got the message "You cannot use that at this time" when I tried to empty a bucket. Now, I am in the trader compound, so I'm thinking this is a remnant of the protection. Bug or not?

Despite how land and POI generation may not be perfect still, I think we can agree it's a lot better than what it was. I remember peddling my bike without a care in the world, mullet in the wind, only to run smack dab into a mountain. But, wait, it wasn't a mountain at all. It was the road that suddenly elevated itself sky high.

Good times, good times.

Remember the totally unplayable cheese grater worlds from A18 or so? Or when world gen used to take literally 10 minutes? Those weren't the days...

It wasn't all bad. You could take a quick shower, grab a snack, come back down and maybe it would be at 75%.

Kinyajuu, what an awesome guy, I think back in the days when Navezgane was the only map, he started this idea of Random Generated World.

It was a challenge for him no doubt, but he showed he loves the idea and wanted us enjoy it. With the technology and knowledge back in these years he started it and kept improving it. It is one of the things that makes 7 days to die unique experience among the other survival games out there.

It is what makes this game absolute gold. And can`t be thankful enough that devs keep improving it, no matter few edges here and there.

I call these mishaps features, I can spent some time landscaping, improving the ways I go through places on the map, that`s the point of voxel world. The full freedom to interact, change and improve it.

So, thanks Kin !

I think you'll also find that even with an LCB you can't pick up workbenches.

Is anyone having sharp ground edges around some pois, some roads have too, that is on random gen maps ?

Just in case you're interested, the latest version of Teragon adds an option that allows you to "fix" roads (adapt road terrain). This can be used not only on Teragon maps, but on any imported map and even on maps where you drew your own roads. It's a single command that can be added to the default previewer preset, so doesn't require a lot of effort to learn to use. There *are* a lot of parameters you can adjust to get it the way you like, but just running the default values can turn a road from the first image into the road from the second image below. *Note that it does take some time to run, especially if you have a lot of roads.

It may be coincidence, but I haven't got ANY book at all (yet) from a main skill I invested in.
It's like the skill->book link mechanic is completely broken.

Any chance you changed loot abundance to under 100%? There is a known bug with loot abundance under 100% causing no items to appear when they are supposed to. So 50% would give 0 all the time instead of 1 half the time and 0 half the time when you're supposed to get 1 of an item. Even with the skill bonuses, that might still leave you under 100% and having that problem.

Can I rub your smooth edges?
