maybe move all the dumb talk of moderation out of the dev thread to the trashbin where it belongs?

If you want to do the lights on dedicated only then an api mod can do it without the dll hack. You just need to use world.setBlockRPC and change the meta1 value to 2 on any light blocks. it does require using a console command rather than the 'E' interface though

there is a pickaxe book. They also show up in loot and at traders

We are not seeing any of these issues on the official server so it sadly might be a case of start a new save. We reset the map for b16, and it was fine going to b17, but anything b15 or older might be broken. This is the last major update before alpha17 so if you do reset you def wont need to again.

Build 17 is on launcher. Will do patch notes for 16 and 17 in a bit b17 doesnt appear to have any issue with a b16 save.

There are some bcm errors on load there. Most likely the configs are not correct for it. Make sure the Configs are set up as per this folder in the Mods folder: https://github.com/7days2mod/BadCompanySM/tree/master/BCManager/Mods/BCManager

Don't be mean to your horse, it might eat you. Add horse reins to stop the horse from wandering.

I'll post the highlights later today. - - - Updated - - - food healing has been buffed in b15, but the lack of early healing is intended.

Most of the b15 stuff is done, but still needs some testing and probably some bug fixes. Will def be this weekend sometime.

The current version of the crystals are more for purging existing blight than protecting against new blight. The protection they do provide atm should last a few game days but the next time I work on that I'll be changing them to provide protection for as long as the crystal lasts, and entities will hopefully be made to target those crystals. They will eventually self destroy and lose the protection but at least you will have a visual to let you know that it has happened. The dragon blood crystal I might make permanant unless destroyed and the lesser ones are the ones that self destruct after a time.

that reminds me, I needed to make the seed recipes give 2 seeds. Atm the fert doesnt do anything (only gives bonus for <e> pickup plants rather than hit to harvest plants). A future version it will act as both a growth accelerator, and a reduction to the chance crops fail (also coming later) The skills are pretty basic atm, as with the a17 changes there isnt much point in putting effort into them only to throw it all away. 100 in blade weapons is +10% harvest, and lvl 5 knife guy is +50%, but I keep forgetting to test if that will give a chance at two items at less than +100% as Emu said, you get a bonus harvest with certain weapons (i.e. sickle), and can raise your weapon skill to slice those plants better
