I don't think I've had both the shoes and jacket in the early game in awhile but it's not all that improbable, especially if you found a clothing store to raid. Steroids and Mega Crushes are a pretty common find as well from the right kind of loot containers. I frequently use them to run home fully loaded from raiding POI's in the early game. If the terrain isn't nice and flat I could easily see it being faster in practice than the Bike.
1 minute ago, theFlu said:Padded armor says hi, 0 mobility penalties. 0 noise penalties. Somewhere around 35 armor rating. Add some noise reduction mods and stealth actually works reliably without points. Add armor mods for 10 more armor as the game progresses.
Or if you prefer, Military armor with two or more points in Light Armor perk and a Customized Fitting Mod, runs faster than naked (on the info page at least, might be capped by now.)
Just link me to your video where you beat the bike in a flat out race. Use your roids and max everything out. I'm happy to recant once I see the evidence.

In what alpha the WHOLE code will be redone and finished?
Alpha Never. A lot of the code is considered done and finished already. They will continue to optimize but spend an entire Alpha cycle going through all the code to redo it in its entirety? Nope.
17 hours ago, TheNoob said:Just because of Unity update 7DTD code is old and it's need to be redone.
They may update Unity once more but doing so isn't always a guaranteed positive. TFP have modded Unity for their needs so the benefits to work ratio is something they always look at before updating Unity and it doesn't always pan out because it isn't a simple update. It is an update and then a lot of time fixing their mods to work with the new version of Unity. There are also aspects of Unity that they don't use and sometimes Unity updates those features and in those cases it makes no sense to update.
As an example that you might relate with.... What if the only thing A20 added was Twitch Integration? Would you erase your map and saved game and start all over for A20 if you never stream the game on twitch? TFP look at Unity updates the same way. Is it worth having the latest and greatest update if it involves a lot of work with no real benefit to 7 Days to Die?

Video proof would convince me. But even then you would not convince me that you would be running naked except for the letterman's jacket and running shoes and with 0 encumbrance and fully perked and juiced in any other situation other to prove that it can be done. For regular gameplay the bike always wins.

who would win? fully perked on foot vs 4x4 for 100m, 1000m, 10000m
oh please…the bicycle would win so of course the 4x4 would win. Runner’s high isn’t supposed to affect brain function…0 -

Unity was better for voxels 8 years ago. When they first started, their goal was to make a game that looked like Quake. They quickly upgraded their goal and have done pretty well. There was never a time along the way that it would have been convenient or wise to change the entire engine from Unity to something else.
They are going to use Unreal for their next game, however. So stay tuned.

I wish I had the number for your friend so I could tell them not to craft you a minibike until you had spent a full two weeks on a bicycle...

Umm...They have signed with a new company to redo the console version. Watch a stream once in a while.
Ummm....The OP posted this about 2 months before those streams you think he should have watched aired. Look at the posting date once in awhile...

ya and they have a 66' wingspan and weigh almost 5000lbs.
Not remotely a similar comparison. We don't have consumer sized weapon equiped drones. The military ones are 2x the size of a Cessna
The ones we KNOW about out...

I've never really understood this. Why does the game ever have to be "done"? Keep putting features in until the end of time.
Sorry…I should have said that once their obligation to the original Kickstarter promises is complete and they have finished replacing all placeholder assets and features with final polished versions, then they will continue to update the game with extra goodies until the end of time.
One of those extra goodies will be Steam Workshop support.
Better?

I would love to know what the telemetry thing in A19 says about rock throwing & bike riding.
Both are great ideas that just don’t translate into something useful in game.
Say what?!? I love both being in the game and bicycle riding surely is useful as is rock throwing if not just simply fun. Are you just skipping over the bike and going straight to motorcycle or something? I'm usually on a bike for a couple of game weeks before I get other vehicles so it definitely comes in handy for faster travel. Plus who cares what the telemetry says? Why would they spend time removing the ability to throw rocks or the bicycle even if they aren't widely used features? They are already in and they work so leave them be and people can choose whether they want to use those features or not.

They did show that sharknado a couple years back so the tech is there at least visually.

Honestly? can the drone keep up with a vehicle? cuz if not that kinda defeats the purpose of using it as a mobile storage container.
Yes. It either keeps up or teleports back in behind you. Either way when you get out of your car the drone will be zipping up to you very soon afterward.
4 hours ago, Scyris said:As for why people are critics...
Blah blah blah Scyris. You take any and every thread and try to turn it to your same agenda of trying to return to the past. Please start your own thread to talk about how you believe TFP has gone wrong and leave over trying to derail other people's threads. This thread is purely about the drone. It has nothing to do with level gating and progression and how the game is worse since A10. Glad you feel passionate but start your own thread.

I just really want the traders to say "We don't serve their kind here!" whenever you walk in with your drone following...

Thank you, this is an important detail that was not shown on the stream.
Yeah, we have to remember that programmers aren't streamers and aren't necessarily going to be able to put together a well produced presentation on camera to 1000+ viewers. Even Lathan for some reason put regular bandages in the drone rather than medicated bandages. But I think he was a bit flustered by the technal difficulties with the Music and it is hard with them all talking remotely. During the streamer weekend I suspect that all the nuances will get shown with great excitement and experimentation as the chat asks questions and tells the streamer to try this and that.
1 minute ago, Survager said:But, as far as I remember, it was said on the stream that the light of the drone and the work of its propellers will attract zombies in the future, so this is just a temporary advantage )
Possibly...but we can enjoy temporary while we have it. Temporary could end up being a year or more depending on when they get back around to it...

Why is the Flashlight Mod useless?
I tested the headlight mod for the drone.
1) The drone's headlight illuminates a circle of light all around you so you can see as you look around. It is a soft area light and not a focused beam.
2) The drone's headlight does not affect your stealth rating. I took From the Shadows lvl 4 and went out at night with the drone light on. Crouched, my stealth rating was a 2. I was able to sneak up quite close to zombies without them detecting me even though the area was lit by the drone's light. I turned my own headlight on. My stealth rating rose to about 60 and I was immediately detected. I turned it off and ran and then crouched and moved off a bit and the zed went to my last known location and stopped even though I was about 10 meters away. The drone light was on the whole time. It didn't see me or acknowledge or get aggroed by the drone in any discernible way.
Now the simulation crowd will scream "unrealistic!" but it does show a marked advantage to the drone light over a personal light and it does complement the stealth perks quite well. It was pretty fun I must admit even if also admitedly a bit magical. Perhaps you could scifi it up a bit for yourself by assuming there is a bit of light bending for active stealth camouflage going on along with the light.

The drone heals the player not automatically, but upon request. But during the battle, it is much more convenient for the player to use medications from the quick slot on the belt or even from the inventory.
This modification could become very useful if the Drone could detect the type of damage and automatically apply the correct medicine, for example:
- the player gets a fracture - the drone will automatically apply a splint / plaster cast
- the player gets infected - the drone will automatically apply honey / antibiotics
- the player gets bleeding - the drone will automatically apply a simple bandage
- the player has less than 60% health - the drone uses a healing bandage / first aid kit
Currently the drone only heals hitpoints and does nothing for debuffs. It does automatically heal you when you drop to below 50 hp of your max. Above that threshhold you must manually ask for healing.

Okay, I tested a few things:
1) The drone only administers health recovery from medicated bandages and first aid kits. It does not administer debuff fixers like antibiotics, splints, vitamins, and sewing kits and when it does administer a bandage it only helps your health and does not fix the debuffs bandages normally fix. Furthermore, if your health is capped by a debuff the drone will "waste" medicine to heal you even though your health won't be able to advance until the debuff capping your max hp is fixed.
2) The drone must be activated to administer healing when your health is within 50 of your maximum health (not counting debuff caps). So if you have 130 health the drone will auto heal you if you drop below 80 health.
3) The drone will not auto heal you if you already have medicine in your system when you drop below 50 of your maximum health. It will wait until all the current medicine is used up before administering another dose.
4) The drone takes the bandages before it takes the first aid kits if both are in its inventory no matter what order they are arranged.
5) It is more difficult to access the heal me! button on the drone than it is to use an item on your belt so the drone is best utilized for emergency automatic medical treatment once your health drops below that threshold.
5) You can install multiple storage mods to greatly increase the storage capacity.
6) The drone tells you when it detects enemies nearby.
