We play on survivalist now and i again highly recommend someone specs into demo. We have an electric fence where they get stuck, i use a contact grenade on demolishers followed by a frag rocket wich kills them when you use atom junkies. Very importnant: Everyone else stops shooting when a demo shows up so the button doesn´t get triggered by accident. Works like a charm. We hardly ever have a demo exploding. Add in some dart traps and it´s even easier. The base design can vary as long as you have an electric fence where they get stuck.

Sata is the connection type. SSD´s can be Sata also. If you can get a M2 for the same price as a Sata, then go for it. Otherwise i would save some bucks and go with a Sata SSD.

Intel artificially capped the ability for higher RAM Speeds on non Z-490 motherboards for their new 10th Gen CPU´s, forcing you to spend way more if you wanna have the advantage of fast RAM. Also if you ever wanna do anything besides gaming, AMD is the way to go, they crush Intel in nearly every application that isn´t gaming. I would wait for for the release of Zen3 from AMD. Yes, AMD was way behind for long, but Ryzen was the ultimate comeback. I used Intel for a long time but with Ryzen 3000 i switched to AMD. I would go AMD R7 4700 (assuming they keep the naming they had with the current generation), 32GB of RAM (Ram is supercheap right now, don´t get the GSkill Aegis tough), B550 Motherboard and propably a NV RTX 3070 GPU. SSD is a must these days and at least 1TB of size, M2 sounds nice, but doesn´t give you any advantage in gaming. Normal Sata SSD is good enough for that. PSU is hard to to tell right now, depends on how powerhungry the new GPU´s will actually be. Seems like Nvida is a bit bruteforcing with their new generation. I am assuming the 1500$ are without monitor here. All considering that the new releases keep their promises. Definitly wait until AMD and Nvidia are benchmarked. CPU wise i think AMD will crush Intel, on the GPU side i don´t think they can reach Nvidia. But we will need to wait to be sure. Definitly don´t buy before all the new things are released and benchmarked. AMD CPU´s will come in October propably there is a keynote at the 8th of October and GPU´s will come in early November i guess, they have a presentation at the 28th of October. The NV RTX 3070 is available at the 17th September.

Well your argument was that any wild animal trying to chew trough a wall is weird. A dire wolf was a wild animal. Wouldn´t behave different than those that are not extinct.

Direwolf actually is natural. Just extinct. @Reckis

We have a corridor build, with a hole where they can fall down, we do stand behind quarter poles. Corridor has an electric fence hidden behind 2 blocks (plates on the outside so the whole base doesn´t get to wide). They get stuck nicely in the fence. For Demolishers i have gone full into demolition using contact grenades and rocketlauncher. Still no one hit kill even with atom junkies, full demo skill and frag rockets tough. (On warrior difficulty)

I didn´t have any problem with both so far. I just stay away from the snow early game and i have never seen a direwolf during the day in early game. First few nights i dig, sort my inventory and upgrade my base from inside. If you go into the snow early on, you brought this onto yourself. Nothing uncommon to have areas in a game where a low level character shouldn´t go.

I think i have a bit of a problem here, it´s with CP44 but there was no CP44 to choose from in Nitrogen, so i took CP43

@e1ghtbit It´s dirty now. Has ugly smears on it.

<I dislike the new bulletproof glas. Another slap in the face for builders.

I hope the loot get´s some overhaul. Now at day 20, it´s really stale. Everyone finding the same things over and over again. Only buying from the trader brings in a bit of variance.

Having a mixed armor is pretty much impossible right now. The loot is so strictly levelbased that you basically find the same stuff over and over again. I love the slower progression, but right now we look all the same with the same weapons and same tools. We even found the duster all on the same day...

It´s a nice update. Slower progression was much needed and is appreciated. Tough i am going to stop playing once i saw all the new stuff. I feel like i am on console. Those on screen markers totally ruin the game. And no modding is not the answer to everything. We don´t have a lot of time to do our MP and we don´t wanna spend it trying to get mods running on a dedi. We rather play something else.

Member names should be in the dark grey area as well, it´s a bit confusing as it is right now, but that could just be a matter of getting used to it. Other than that it´s very nice.

Meh, i can´t load the mod. Clicked Presync in the ModLauncher now it is "Refreshing mods" for an hour already. Manually putting that 3 folders in gives me a blackscreen when starting the game, i only see the game mouse pointer. WIN 7 ain´t a problem i hope?
