Dude you don’t understand. People were saying things like Will bandits: create new towns or settlement can I befriend a bandit/can that bandit fall in love with me will bandits setup traps (then some completely unrealistic traps based upon terrain or time or something a game AI will not be able to do) Can I live in the bandit town as a crafter and help the bandits build better houses and so on and so on. Game AI is pretty stiff in every game. No chance the Pimps are going to build an AI that will pass the Turing test using Unity which can barely handle 20 zombies on the screen at one time.

I look at the water change differently. The way the game plays now water is only relevant the first or second day. Once you have a cook pot and possibly a forge you are set forever. The way the game currently works there is little reason to have water because after a small amount of playtime you are literally swimming in water jars plus all the damn clutter they cause. I like the proposed water changes.

“Zombies with guns”…. I will take the heat on that because I remember saying something similar early on about bandits. Some posters were stating fantasy scenarios that just didn’t seem possible given current restraints. I wanted to let those people know they shouldn’t expect the greatest AI programming in any game or arguably any program. This expectation will clearly lead to disappointment with bandit even if they function perfectly fine and add fun to the game. We cannot expect the Pimps to do something that has never been done in history as a baseline. This isn’t a reasonable expectation. Ill take the heat on “Zombies with guns” because I may have been the first one to say it on the forums.

Yeah I had a similar thought but whatever, we can deal with it.

Steam sale begins next week, unless they plan on skipping or an extremely limited streamer weekend it’s probably not going to happen.

You could be right, played Ark a bit but not a ton.

Pretty sure Ark allows multiple to access chest. Ark does do one really cool thing when you search you basically search every chest and chests can be linked to production tables, no more running round looking for the bit of lead.

Plus maybe dogs can get thru damaged/open doors?

Second one has to be “MeatBalls”

Oh noes! I won’t be able to craft water from snowballs which I’ve probably never done or needed to do in game. I am outraged!

Low priority it would be nice if we could craft a bedroll, bed and double or modern bed and choose which location to spawn at. I know this enables fast travel but what the hell allow more than one spawn point, particularly during horde night.

I believe you can craft at least some of the furniture

Great news and good work faatal. honestly I am fine with it taking 10 to 20 minutes to generate a large map. Faster is better however 10 to 20 is perfectly acceptable imo.

I get that it just seems short sighted. I am not sure what epic uses but I know steam is like kilobits a day. The data is minimal.

I’ve never really understood this. What gamer doesn’t have internet?

I believe that is the design. this is what I understand about stability and someone correct me if I’m wrong. 100% stability to any block that has an undisturbed path to the bedrock. This doesn’t mean you need to frame to bedrock it means there need to be a “block” of anything to the bedrock. As gaps happen the stability is reduced so if you are building a sizable area under the supports of your base they will be weakened. Try building stairs or a ramp so your underground area is away from your base area.

I used to do underground bases for forges and such. I typically went above ground for horde night. Then I decided while underground bases look nice and have advantages, they are sort of boring. I’m fine either way if you want an underground base just dig really deep and you’ll probably be fine however you are missing a big point of playing the game.

I think they mentioned some UI changes for A21. Been a while since I watched the posted interview but I am nearly certain it was mentioned.

Agreed & he scored the first A21 Hitler video.

Imagine if Roland replied “Yes, I know” and that was it. All other responses are fine except that first one imo.

I still don’t like those words. Why people DAYS later after I said it in regards to a meme is weird. Enjoy yourself today. To summarize: people said somehow no business relates to the pimps or is equivalent to the pimp And everyone does this but for reasons nobody can show a current business doing this except a guy 10 years ago who said it during an interview Somehow I’m the one who has a problem because I responded to a meme I do not like “When it’s done” it is unlikely I will change my opinion. I have not asked anything of development, I have said frequently they could simply say “we don’t give dates or timeframes” or just about anything other than “when it’s done”

40K Hobbits do…. Technically it’s a Ratling however the resemblance is there

Good for you!

I don’t like those words when someone asks when do you expect x to be released. I still cannot imagine any modern business using “when it’s done” I still haven’t been show an example of a business using them except the john carmack quote from 10 years ago. I do not like those words. I would not let people I manage use those words to external customers. Why people keep questioning me about this is unknown to me.
