Hm, that alien spaceship in the bottom left rises questions.

 

Reminds me of my first ray-tracing experience couple of decades ago. A shiny chrome ball was the first thing I made. Took ages to render.

Especially since A22 is supposedly coming in Q1 2024. I have a feeling they either forgot to start the A22 dev diary, aren't starting on at all, or A22 isn't coming Q1 2024.

 

You probably mean 2025.

In that tweet A22 is kinda promised "this year". So it's something at least. More than we're getting from this forum.

 

If I sound a bit frustrated, I've been watching this circus for 10 years, 1 month and few days now.

Yay... We're getting animals and prettier fur this year. I can barely hold my excitement.

I'm a reader, not a poster but gotta say something...

 

Boy is this topic dead or what?

May I kindly suggest starting the A22 dev diary to spark up the interest a bit? It doesn't have to be any kind of indication of a release date or anything. I've had this game for over 10 years now and learned to not expect anything in a hurry 😐

I had to pause the game to come here and comment: crazy performance upgrade! 4K 120fps rock steady now! First I thought I had wrong resolution or some setting at minimum but no, all good. I was expecting the usual 70-80fps.

3080 + 5800

 

Boy is this forum's server on it's knees or what 😆

Even idiot looters who don't understand co-op and read all magazines will happily craft the better tools for the builders at home as soon as they come home (which would be the same time as the intelligent looters would return home to drop off the magazines needed by builders for crafting their better tools). Tools crafted by idiot looters are exactly as good and sharp as tools crafted by builders themselves 😉

 

 

 

 

Based on what I've seen in streams, there are so many books/magazines that they fill the inventory in no time and it would take a lot of time to stop and figure out what does what and who needs what. Better to be the idiot and just get rid of them by reading them.

But, need to play the game first to make that determination. Based on streams the amount is overwhelming. I totally understand the consequences for those who stay at base, building and mining. Interesting mechanic anyway that will require new gameplay styles.

Just want to preemptively say great work TFP, we've all come a long way to Alpha 21 and I'm excited to try out the beta today. From what I've seen, the new update looks really smooth, especially with that killer water system.

 

Beta? Did I time travel to 2026? 😁
