Awesome. Thanks!

Greetings Survivors, I am playing a playthrough in A20 and I just quit for the night only to see that A21 is out and Steam is automatically updating the game. I want to continue this A20 playthrough for a bit longer but the save won't be compatible with A21. Is there a way I can play this save using A20 after A21 is installed?

I use a pencil and graph paper. I know...I'm old.

And if you were developing a game wouldn't you want it to turn out as you wanted/envisioned it? I haven't played A21 yet so I don't have an opinion on the water change. If it turns out it's a deal breaker for me (I highly doubt it will be), it will be my choice to continue to play the game or not, as it is yours.

No, I'm waiting for the stable version too. I have no complaints obviously because I haven't played it but based on some of these complaints I do have a few concerns but will not have any judgements until I play it myself. I've watched some of the content creators play some and so far I have seen nothing that causes concern in those. So, we'll see!

Bingo. I think the OP just needs to move on to something else.

For whatever it's worth, I'll concur with the OP that this mechanic is broken. Zombies will crouch and hit you in the same movement within a millisecond. It's broken and needs to be fixed. It's good to hear that the crouching mechanic when released wasn't exactly completed and that hopefully in A21 it will work better. While they're at it, I hope TFP are working on fixing the drone pathing so that it isn't always trying to get right in your face like it doesn't get enough attention or something. Let's also not forget about fixing how zombies can hit you through walls.

That's awesome that there are commands to turn that off. I didn't know they existed. The rain doesn't bother me too much but the thunder is obnoxious and the fog in the snow biome is so thick you can't see 2 feet in front of you. Plus is happens All.The.Time., Every.Time. The weather effects are definitely overdone. I do love this game though!

I know. I've had it where I've fired like three shots with a shotgun point blank to the head that don't register as hits. This happens fairly regularly.

And another point, at least in my experience, is that especially in early game those loot bags the Zs drop are few and far between so I don't think ammo in the early game is too plentiful. I always try to preserve my ammo using melee until I really start to need it as the days go by. By then I usually have a fair amount that I can use when I need it, just by looting it and saving it. I do tend to craft ammo anyway just so I know I have enough to blast away on horde night without worrying that I'm going to run out.

Yep, that is true. What I meant was how long you can run, not really the ability to run. Cheers.

Sexy T. is always one of the first perks I ramp up as fast as I can. It is tied to so many things; mining, running, harvesting, combat. Have you ever been in a slug fest with a gaggle of Zs only to die because you ran out of stamina? I don't know how you can go through a game without it but if you figured out how more power to you!

What I find annoying is the thunder. When it's raining the thunder is just INCESSANT and LOUD. It never stops. Can we have rain without thunder? Or as the OP suggested, have separate volume settings the thunder? The other sounds don't annoy me, just the thunder.

Every time I play a random map I only get the Dishong Tower, the Higashi Tower, Crack a Book HQ, and the Pop N Pills Factory. Sometimes I get the Pop N Pills Hospital. I never get the Shamway Factory or the Shotgun Messiah Factory. Do you all experience the same thing? I hate doing the Towers because they take so long and my frame rates suffer so much it's like playing a slide show.

I'm almost ashamed to say I've got over 7200 hours on Steam since A19, although a fair amount of that is leaving the game paused overnight a lot, or while I'm at work. In actual game play I would guess about half of that, maybe a bit more. Needless to say, I love this game.

I was thinking along those lines. Just have the drone follow you around but when you want to interact with it, press a mapped key and it will move to face you. It really is ridiculous when you've got a dozen zombies coming at you and the drone is right there in your face as you're trying to fight them. Or when you're trying to place blocks and the drone is right there where you want to place one. It happens all of the time and it is very annoying. I really hope this is one of the things TFP is working on for A21.

I really like using the drone for the extra inventory but WHY does it always have to be in your face??? It gets in the way when you're trying to place blocks, when you're trying to upgrade blocks, when you're trying to mine, and when you're trying to fight off zombies! Can't it be programmed to be slightly above your face? The thing gets pretty annoying a lot.

I have that happen too where the screamer can't see me yet she screams and suddenly I have tons of zombies dropping down into my mine hole. It's kind of ridiculous and overdone in my opinion.

Thank you, Roland and dcsobral, for answering my question. It clears it up for me a bit.

Hey Everybody, So when I go to create a random map I can do so by giving it some random name and then the territory comes up. What I don't understand is how some random name is tied to some random territory. Is it all just random? Or is there some logic to it? Are all the seed names in this thread just names you all came up with? Thanks in advance!
