Yes

While probably not realistic at this point in development it would be fun if there was a quest “repair the refinery” and you needed parts to fix it then while producing gasoline it attracted tons of screamers. Basically you’d have to fix and protect the refinery to get an amount of gas that allows you to drive places. Use the shale to trees (less gas per tree). Still could find adequate gas in loot to make moltov’s and stuff but not enough gas for long road trips.

Good man, I sort of assumed that but you know…. Is it true the server client generates worlds slower because they don’t use the graphics card memory? Makes sense to me in my admittedly amateur understanding of Hardware.

For context are we talking one minute forty five seconds or one hour forty five minutes?

How about we try it out before crapping on it.

I’ll say it again. Currently water is so easy to obtain there simply is no need for it. May as well just eliminate thirst. New system will reduce clutter and at minimum put an early game cap on how much water you have. Nope

Dammit I’d love to hear info as to what theme the new projects will have and what type of setting.

Throw the guy a bone and put a skeleton in a POI

Come on it looks totally the same

Haha reminds me that I wanted to suggest the pimps update their steam page with current visuals.

For me 7D2D is similar to Valheim as in it is beautiful in a certain chunky way. For 7D2D game play is king visuals are second.

Three posts above

First good points Second this will be a long post which I hate on forums. Post ideally should be short & concise. Finally: I know I can be irritating about this so bear with me. Words are important missing words are important. The first words in your post are simplified to “I’d like updates too” important thing is typically the first words we all do this and we all screw it up so it is not a slight or meant to be demeaning all the stuff that follows the first sentence is stuff to justify something or appease someone. Back to the Pimps and lack of words. Regardless of them not giving specific updates clearly the expectation on these forums was we’d see A21 by the end of the year. That didn’t happen. Managing expectations and disappointment is critical in the business world. Simple example is the pimps consistently fail to meet deadlines amongst my friends. This is not a reputation anyone wants to have. This can be prevented or minimized by managing expectations and admitting delays and/or failure. Nobody wants to be the person who is known for missing deadlines and not saying anything about missing it. Again a perceived deadline is still a deadline. Far better to simply be honest, “I missed the deadline and here’s where I’m at” or “I know I disappointed you, this is what’s being done” as opposed to the near total silence that is happening now. Silence doesn’t mean incompetence it typically means someone doesn’t want to manage the disappointment and likely has some fear regarding it. Fear in the work world doesn’t lead to good things barring very specific jobs or tasks which programming is not one of them. Pimps should celebrate that they have so many fans that are eager to consume yet another alpha.

Okay so you’d like updates too. BTW not whining just saying I’d like updates. Pretty simple stuff and yes I agree there will be trolls but that just part of the business they are smart they’ll figure out a way.

They must have goals and at least estimates. I cannot imagine any business not having those. Admittedly the original estimate could be completely inaccurate but simply adjust the timeline if that’s the case or better yet build in a couple of months wiggle room. ps you do bring up a very fair point

Those folks are obviously incapable of civil discussion. They should and can be banned.

Personally I am shocked how many forum members actively down vote anything regarding communication or a timeline. I find it really strange. You all are free to have your own opinion. I feel it is time for the pimps to publish a timeline of what is expected to happen and when it’s expected to happen. Perfectly fine is deadlines change or are late, some sort of roadmap would be nice to have.

Did you read it? Apparently I was not clear so I will be now. The Pimps should have expressed regret for not making A21 by end of the year and given a brief insight as to when we can expect it before leaving for the holidays.

I’m not selling something here. If I were I’d gladly accept that feedback.

Perfectly cool and healthy. constructive feedback is it would have been nice to have a notice like above and add Happy Holidays or similar.

It is time for the Pimps to announce *something* regarding A21. Don’t get me started on “When it’s done”. Something could be as easy as “Within X weeks and it may be buggy” Just something. We were all excited for this alpha Pimps need to manage disappointment better.

Any chance we will be able to shoot while in vehicles or have more than one seated inside a vehicle for A21?

Bummer but I’ll get over it. Back to the keyboard slacker and type up some 7D2D code (#sarcasm)

Oh the Pimps are going to be funding a Porn Movie.

Fair enough, point I wanted to make was I am very likely the guy who coined the phrase “bandits with guns” on this forum. The purpose was to tamper expectations. I agree bandits have been delayed far too long and they really should make an appearance, we do need to have a proper expectation when they finally appear. I am confident at first bandits will be basic and not all that interesting and likely buggy that’s fine as long as they get better over time.
