So I forget, are mods easy to install and make in this or do you have to make a whole new exe for them or whatever.

You can do a lot just with json files. All you need to make them is a text editor and all you need to do to install them is drop a new subfolder for your mod in the mods folder. There's some notation to learn, and rules about object inheritance and stuff, but take a look at the doc folder in your installation for some documentation (ignore anything about c++ if you're just making json mods, tampering with the source code is a bit trickier) and some sample mods as examples or tempates.

So how easy would the bird thing be to make as a mod?

DayGloOreo posted:Kevin is continuing to do everything he can to turn this game into an unfun mess. I think this is probably the best example of how little Kevin understands about making games. Note that he could have just said "no bird mutants can't fly" but instead he gave a list of sacrifices needed to be able to fly without any consideration as to the advantages of actually being able to fly or how the game would be played by a player who couldn't interact with some major features of the game. He never thinks about whether something is necessary to add or enjoyable to interact with, the only important thing to him is whether it fits with his incredibly flawed view of the world.

And to top it all, keep in mind that become a fully transformed bird, you have to jump through many hoops. It's something you have to fight for, scavenge for, survive and earn. The idea of arguing that it needs to have as many negatives as positives (and as you said, that balance is incredibly off anyway) is broken from the get-go because this isn't a drat checkbox on character creation "do you want to be a bird".

They’re really working to make this game unplayable. Jumped in to give it another go. Usual start in spring but I see they now have a freezing mechanic. Started in the evac shelter with a bottle of water which froze. Butchered some rats which gave me frozen meat. Raided nearby grocery and found frozen crisps and frozen everything. So I guess summer is the new easy start unless you have equipment for defrosting stuff.

You just need a match or lighter and a pan but yes its super tedious until you get a vehicle with solar panels and a hotplate.

That seems like another one of those "the devs don't actually care about realism, just arbitrary bullshit" things. Starting a fire with glasses by focusing sunlight like that is actually pretty hard to do.

I'm guessing it's more along the lines of "it's a mechanic that has been there forever, since before actions could take variable amounts of time, and nobody has noticed yet to update it"

Just make it take a good amount of time in game, but keep it basically instant out of the game. So you're not setting a corpse on fire in one turn while surrounded by zombies. They won't do that, of course, given the last melt down about not being able to use real life time investment as a balancing mechanic to make npc's more useful and have people turn them back on.

Starting a fire with glasses by focusing sunlight like that is actually pretty hard to do. I’ve seen someone start a fire with a condom full or water and sunlight, similar to a magnifying glass. Standard glasses probably don’t have the focus to start a fire. But yeah the devs seem to pick and choose what is realism as they like. Which is bit ironic in a game featuring zombies, monster, mutations and bionics.

This is fundamentally the problem with "realism" as a defense of bad game mechanics. Unless you're going to go all in, it's just bullshit to obfuscate the real reason you're making the change (which is probably something along the lines of "this doesn't conform to the playstyle that I deem to be correct and thus should be punished, but not removed, because I am a bad game designer").

On a lab start, how do you deal with having only one set of stairs leading up right next to a turret? I got the emp grenades, but by the time I armed and threw I was dead. Do you wield and arm before going up stairs then toss immediately? Also is there any way to cancel picking up something heavy because I burnt to death in a house trying to grab a zombie (it was a scientist and I wanted it to disect)?

So maybe luck of the draw? I ended up making a crossbow, and plinking at it till it died. Also maybe hit "." That ends stuff sometimes.

Wasn't the entrance door turret. Was in one of them map cells that are the nine rooms in a 3X3 pattern. Probably two or three levels underground. Came up stairs and the downstairs they were connected to was like 5 spaces from it.

I would maybe try arming before you go up but I am uncertain how long stairs take to traverse. If possible I would try to armor up so you can deflect some of the shots so you dont get gibbed immediately.

I can't figure a way to deal with turrets in general if you can't attack them from out of their sight. Hipfiring a rifle with zero aiming is a coinflip at best, otherwise it will stunlock you (at best) as you try to aim a shot.

I'm quite a few versions out of date, but do you have any explosives you can huck? Dynamite used to be quite easy to make.

It used to be that with the very heaviest armor you could make, you could straight-up stroll up to a turret and melee it to death (though that would be inadvisable due to its tendency to explode). Don't know if that still holds true in the later versions.

Push a book case or a fridge infront of you until you're past the turret.

You want anything that blocks line of sight from the turret. So a book case, fridge, those things. If you can't see through it, the turret can't see you. Turrets don't fire blind.

Just reinstalled after a few years. The frozen mechanic is fairly annoying, but I drove a bus through a bunch of hostile creatures, wrecked into a tree and somehow died in a pool of acid after I left the wreckage. Still owns!
