lohli posted:From what I remember, blocks can only support so many other blocks, horizontally, before giving way. Pretty sure the player's weight does count. Unless my memory is completely bad, I remember building a bridge only to have it collapse once I actually got on it. Oh wait, no I have the best example. Use the prebuilt map and find a bridge and walk up the railings and when you get to the top of the beam it'll just fall apart.

JB50 posted:Doesnt the deck fall apart when you walk across it as well? At least it did a few patches ago. With just player weight it is fine, but don't fight a horde on the bridge unless you want it to fall apart. A few zombies is fine, but once I had a bunch of corpses and went to go club a zombie to death and the bridge just collapsed on me.

So I guess the sleeper system + multiplayer is just extremely annoying. I was trying to loot a gun store and I couldn't because every time I turned around zombies had respawned. I played a bit of A16 in single player and never had issues quite this bad with the new system.

On my constant night time roving I found a base in the north between two cities on a road (Hide Hole or something?). Is this still someone's active base? Don't want to go looting the cities if it is going to get me in conflict with someone. Also if you run across a half built "fort" aka Fort Half rear end, that one is mine.

Exploring one of the new POIs and everything is going fine, until I get near to the bottom and all of a sudden super fast fat zombies eat my face off in 2 seconds. Also, no, it wasn't due to a time change from day to night. At least I haven't been having any performance issues that a lot of people are reporting.

Bloody garage door is still only 3 tiles wide! Also where the gently caress do cans of acid come from? You need them to make wheels, and my trader never seems to have any. I haven't gotten any from my general looting or wrenching either. Honestly stamina and food being linked is really dumb, because I either let my food drop to like 60% (and have poo poo stamina) or I waste my bacon and eggs. Honestly I guess I should just make 2 boiled eggs and 1 grilled meat instead because even though it is less overall (30 vs 36), at least I don't waste as much.

Apparently not only is the table saw not taught by the perk, neither is the chemistry station. So be prepared to either cheat them in or edit the xml so that you can actually learn the recipes. Also I really wonder why they’re not taught when taking the perks for them, because if it is just that the xml is missing the entries then that is a real wtf moment. It isn’t like the stations are broken because you can find and use them out in the world. Granted I forgot the game, but apparently there was a typo that made the AI not work properly and it wasn’t discovered for years. So this just seems like they never actually bother to see if the recipe was actually in the list of things to be taught by the perk and probably instantly assumed it was something else. In case some of you want to fix your own progression.xml so you can actually craft the tableSaw and chemistryStation code:Maguoob fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Nov 23, 2018 |

Bondematt posted:They seem to spawn in groups now instead of a conga line as you kill them. I'm not really sure how I feel about A17 so far. Linking Food & Stamina is not something I like, because I want my stamina to be at the cap at all times. This means that instead of making more efficient food (e.g. bacon and eggs vs 2 boiled eggs + 1 boiled meat), I stick to the food that gives less amount of +food because I'm not wanting to be at around 50% of my max stamina to make the better food not be a waste. Having to be level 30 to even get a bicycle does not feel rewarding at all, and I don't see myself ever using the gyrocopter. Vehicles are especially bad because I was in my 50s before I even got 2 wheels (legitimately), the can of acid drop rate in sinks is just too low and unless you get one of the big gas station POIs good luck on looting wheels from cars. Base defensive, or lack thereof, appears to be a big issue for a lot of people for A17 with how zombies destroy blocks far quicker than before. This really doesn't effect me because I just hide in a large POI during the first few blood moons and by the time I have a vehicle I just drive around on blood moon night. The resources used to fight off a blood moon never seem to be worth it, so avoiding them becomes the norm. The forge being level 20 also feels like a huge artificial limiter and can often be entirely pointless if your RNG trader has a working one. You still won't be able to make the tools, but odds are you get at least get a couple iron tools from the quest or buying one and can just make forged iron to repair. Or you can get the ghetto trader that has no working forge and gently caress trying to find another on foot. A really annoying bug is the one where you immediately punch after placing down the last item in a stack and I don't think the first public release of A17 had it but it is certainlly in A199.

ToxicSlurpee posted:It isn't a buildy voxel game but if you want to see absurdly gigantic zombie hordes like you'd expect give They Are Billions a try. There are a few special zombies that are fast but for the most part they're as slow and stupid as you'd expect. The challenge of the game is dealing with so god damned many zombies holy poo poo. You'll seriously see thousands of them all smashing into your walls in a gigantic blob. They Are Billions is a cool game that I've put many hours in, but it has one major glaring flaw. I really really suck at it. Was reading a thread on the official forums about how TFP made an intentional death trap that was completely unfair and it was mostly how the person that died is incredibly bad at the game. The person complaining wasn't the actual person that was playing because it was a streamer or youtuber, but for some reason the person on the forums felt that a pickaxe was a valid weapon choice. Also it was a lot of complaining about how it wasn't realistic with zombies in roofs and closed off compartments. Realism is one of the worst criticisms of any game (or any media for that matter), because zombies sure are realistic.

I've noticed mods for +50% damage vs wood and dirt, now all I need is one for +50% to stone. An iron shovel with +dirt damage and another mod takes 3 normal hits to clear dirt (power attacks are 1000% bad for digging, mining, and cutting down trees). They've gone a bit far in the nerf of gun values, now I just scrap every single gun I come across that is a lower quality than what I already have. No point in wasting space on pistols that sell for 20 coins. A few POIs are still hosed on generation, I had a big pawn shop building that I thought was fine, but it wasn't. It didn't appear to be floating, but apparently directly below it was a 1 space gap so it fell apart. Also I've seen a new (?) mine style POI, but what it did was generate entirely above ground. Just a huge square of rock like 30 blocks high sticking out. I thought I lucked out when I started within 200 meters of my trader, but I did not. Literally every loving quest is between 2km and 6km away.

Nyaa posted:Wow, 1 sp per level sucks! The leveling exp amount is terrible without editing! The skill system overall still needs a lot more work. A wonderful example is that the production of steel is locked behind a level 60 requirement, but quite a few other perks unlock recipes that require steel at 40 or 50. The motorcycle requires steel and is unlocked at level 50. Obviously you can find or purchase steel, but the recipe unlocks that require steel really shouldn't come 20 levels before you can make it yourself. Supposedly most level requirements are going away in the next build, but they did mention that some things may still be level locked. Also, are mod slots supposed to be random now? I thought I originally read that it was just level - 1, i.e. a quality "6" gun should have 5 slots, but I've got quite a few items that don't follow that in b221. I don't really want to play the remake poo poo over and over game to get the maximum number of slots. On tools this isn't as bad, because you can just melt them back down, but for things like guns this is much worse.

Demon boars are great for meat, but also mean that data wasn't properly cleared between patches. For most people this doesn't mean much, but if you do bug reports it makes them less useful. I'm not a big fan of TFP's desire to make the forge more and more tedious to deal with. And RWG is such a poo poo show in the latest build. No game, I don't want to start in the desert or snow and be at least 3km away from the dumb trader. It wouldn't be so bad except unless you've got all the correct clothing and points in the temp skill you're either constantly freezing (and losing food/sta) or burning (and losing water).

It isn’t that desert, snow, or wasteland starts are new, it is that I’m getting a lot of maps now that don’t even have that much forest biome to even spawn in. Also in A16 I don’t even remember desert or snow being such a pain in the rear end 24/7 themselves, it was mostly the annoyance of swapping clothes around.

Verizian posted:I think heat only spawns screamers but there's personal heat and chunk/biome heat which can affect stuff differently if there are other players nearby. Gamestage and difficulty can change things a lot and if you're just coming back or getting started with A17 turn the difficulty down until you get used to things. For a fresh start I usually rush to the trader and clear a small poi close by then get basic survival setup by boiling a few eggs before starting on the missions from the trader. I've never had problems using 4 wood frames to mark off boundaries for the digging quests. I just find the boundary where it goes from nearby to x distance and place a wood frame and then turn around to find the boundary on the other side. Then I go to the middle of those two frames and go perpendicular to find the other 2 boundaries and start digging around the middle. I haven't even broken a quality 1 stone shovel doing this. Unless they've changed something in b240 this should still work.

Surely not enough people are still buying it right now for this many people to be working on it Well they are a rather small team of people and have sold over 2.5 million copies (on PC), so as long as they aren't paying themselves a super high salary they shouldn't have any financial issues for many more years. It isn't like they're super far down on steam's top sellers list (page 5 atm), but I don't know how much money that is especially since revenue based lists tend to have huge fall offs after the top few spots.

For A18, I wonder if they're going to "fix" path finding so that the killing corridors lined with barbed wire no longer work. Currently it is stupid easy to just make an elevated base and be extremely safe. With only having to repair damage from the random swings zombies take when falling.

A video was posted with a horde that included the new demolisher zombies and they’re a bit underwhelming. If they didn’t change pathing or barbed wire, at worst the demo zombies just make it so I'll have to actually replace barbed wire and repair concrete in my corridor. I wish the undead legacy guy would release his UI improvements as a stand-alone mod, but I’m pretty sure he already said that he wouldn’t. He posted a video of his UI changes and there are quite a few QoL changes. Last three videos by Madmole Day 77 Horde, his base, Day 84 Horde. Demo zombies are in the 84 horde video. Undead Legacy guy's changes for his mod (includes the UI stuff I mentioned). Yes, he messed up audio for the recording and UI stuff is mentioned starting at 9:25. Edit: So apparently in Madmole's video the demolisher explosion only did 200 block damage, which is why it was super underwhelming. Apparently the internal A18 build has had the damage changed to 5000. For comparison zombie cop explosion block damage is 500/650/750 (base/feral/radiated). So looking back at his video, he is super hosed if they actually changed it to 5000 block damage. Maguoob fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Sep 5, 2019 |

RWG is a lot less flat in A18 than A17 and my first random world once again continues the proud tradition of being a poo poo start. Start in the burning forest, nearest trader is on top of a mountain in the desert. And it borders the wasteland and my quests all go there.

Is a tall small building surrounded by spikes, with a ladder going down to your base, still the best way to do it? What big things did a17/a18 add? I haven't looked at A18 pathfinding changes, but in A17 it was easy to exploit zombies with a killing corridor. If you look on youtube you'll find a way too excitable Australian guy explain how to build one. Bedrock bases are, however, dead due to zombies being able to dig down. Coming from A16 to A17/18: Clay patches are gone and you now just use soil More vehicles (Bicycle, Motorcycle, 4x4, gyrocopter) Perk changes More POIs Traders have quests More weapons Electricity was A17 stuff I think? Zombies now have a "rage" mode where they have a chance to run faster after taking damage A17 had most recipes lock behind perks, but A18 brought back books/magazines that teach it as well (can still unlock via perks)

In this topic we learn people don't know about the ultimate cheese (in A17). Also apparently TFP added the backpack buttons for improved inventory management (i.e. Stack All, Stack Same, Smart Stack) in to the game, but didn't add UI elements for them in this update, but it does make it easy to do a drag and drop xml instead of having to deal with dlls.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:The building you stand in should (eventually) be closed off so the only opening is the opening that zombies are trying to get through, so birds end up flying into your vision and you just pop them. Yeah that is a bit complicated compared to what you can get away with. You can use wedge tip blocks (2 wide, 4 long) and the zombies will simply try and walk over them, but fall down. As long as the path is over a 4 block drop and they have a way back up you can safely ignore zombies essentially forever. This is a killing corridor design I pulled from a quick GIS. Personally I don't build mine in the air, but instead dig a 2 wide 4 deep trench around my base with an area the zombies can climb back up. Also mine looks much simpler than that one. Edit: I wish there was an option to show the drop off on the spear, because I don't want to "git gud" and actually learn where to aim when I try and sneak attack zombies with power attacks.
