Some of these concerns will be solved or at least made less by the A21 changes. Hopefully, they will be to your liking. Building thus far has been designed largely to accommodate the level designers of POIs. If they want to steer a player a certain way rather than let them easily break through a wall then they will make the wall steel even if it is a wooden building and then they will paint it wooden to match. It's a dirty trick but one they employ shamelessly in order to make the exploration of their POIs balanced and yet still maintain the "everything is destructible" feature of the game. I'm the opposite. I love getting caught out at night and having to quickly jury-rig a place of safety so much that I usually play 40 minute days. I think it is perfectly fine for T5 quests to require the player to explore into the night and don't see that as a flaw at all. Different strokes for different folks. There is an improvement in this area for A21. A21 definitely swings the way you are wanting as far as time spent in each era. Armor options should also improve like you are hoping but not until A22.

I removed the qualifiers for the yes or no vote. I agree that a simple yes or no for the vote suffices and then reasons can be given in a post if desired.

Yeah, its crazy Jost Amman not Crazy Amman!

I don’t have any problem with that mindset. It is a reasonable justification. Unfortunately, they never stop with that but go on to say that mods shouldn’t have to exist to make the game better (for them). They treat modding as some underground rebel movement that the devs must not want but the more they tighten their grip the more star systems slip through their fingers… I wouldn’t say a peep if someone said, I hate the skillpoint system and I wish LBD was back but thank goodness there are mods that return it! I love that the game is so moddable. I’m glad everyone can get a version they like!! But since they say, I hate the skillpoint system. LBD should be the base game and it’s terrible that it has to be modded in. These devs can’t do what needs to be done but modders fix all their mistakes. It shouldn’t be this way!! It’s sad when it takes mods to make the game playable!! peep. peep. peep. peep…..

So if you’re thankful why do you sound so aggressive against the people who made it all possible? Why do you say it shouldn’t be this way? Usually when folks feel thankful they just say….”thanks”.

Yep. It was a selfie. I was holding the phone.

I call ‘em smurfs

They are just P in A21.

QFT. There is supposed to be a progression from struggling to thriving in each aspect of survival represented in the game.

I think the loot balance of A21 will be more to your liking.

Work on the new console version is already underway. It will be fully compatible and consistent to the PC version. We don't know how long of a time span there will be after the PC version releases and the console versions release but it shouldn't be too long of a wait.

Unfortunately, that can no longer be the basis of our relationship. Now its just my charm and style to sustain us. But I know tha.... Meilo....? Hello....? Where did you go...?

Finding a few city blocks worth of houses all with mailboxes out next to the streets is also a joyful discovery. Almost like trick-or-treating.

I won't pretend to understand it. I can only repeat what faatal had said. The difference between normal spawns and bloodmoon spawns is that normal spawns stand around and don't have to find pathways to you. Bloodmoon spawns are supposed to path directly to the player. It was problems with zombies pathing properly and falling out of the world and faatal made adjustments until he found the distance that worked. More than that, he would have to say. You could ask if bloodmoon spawns will be increased in distance for A21 in the dev diary with his name tag. He may respond. That is totally his baby. Thinking about it, if zombies could successfully path to the player from 100 blocks away then we would be back to the perfect information zombies we had in A17. That's just a guess though. For my part, I loved the terminator style zombies so if my guess is true I'd be fine with restoring their longer path algorithms and pushing them back. I know there was mention about zombies falling off the world or maybe it was just spawning outside the path grid or something. Hard to remember as this was A18 or A19 2-3 years ago...

"They" think I'm hilarious.

"They" seem to prefer looting and exploring to building and mining except when "They" prefer building and mining and hate looting and exploring...

I’m not certain. I thought the LCB did prevent spawns so if it doesn’t then I guess no good news there.

The problem here is that you aren't recognizing all the things that are unrealistically portrayed as "a day's worth" of whatever. You want the food you eat to accurately represent a day's worth of calories. Well what about how much you can mine or chop or build in a day's worth of time? Does it bother you that we are able to process as much wood and ore as we do in a single day? That would have to be majorly nerfed in order to realistically reflect a human being's actual abilities. What about building? Seems we can build much faster in the game than we could in real life. Transporting goods as well is a problem. In all these areas, a day's worth isn't properly simulated. If you reduce the daylength option to 30 minute days then it gets closer. The amount you eat for a meal seems to last an appropriate portion of the day and you tend to have the same number of meals as we often do in a day's time period. At the same time, your ability to deforest an entire hillside with an axe within a day is reduced as well since night will come sooner. There isn't a perfect balanced fix. If you don't care about balance and just want to have to eat less often because you hate that activity then it shouldn't be hard to adjust how much fullness foods give you. You can "overeat" up to 300% I believe and so if you just increase all values that add to your fullness that should make it so you aren't eating all the time.

I believe that in the options menu for A21 you will be able to designate how many active LCBs you want to allow. I could be wrong but I think they added that option due to the new chunk reload option so that you can place one at your base and another at your mine etc and not experience a chunk reset at those locations. I believe LCBs also block zombie sleeper spawns so that will hopefully solve your issue there. Unfortunately, the BM zombies currently spawn the furthest away that they can without it causing issues with them falling out of the world or unable to path. This was tested extensively and their current distance is set at the limit. Everyone on the team hates it too. The whole clothing/armor system is the original system from the beginning of the game and is planned for an overhaul in A22, most likely. Everything should look better and be more....uh....form fitting in male and female styles. They want everyone to look epic instead of kind of puffy due to all the current layers. And as Callum mentioned, you'll get your wish with the wires in the next update! Everything you wrote that I didn't comment on are all great ideas in my opinion but I have no idea whether such things are on their radar or not.

Humble Bundle gets its keys directly from TFP rather than the secondary market and also checks with TFP for sale pricing and timing so I know they are trustworthy and reputable. Other sites, I have no idea. I think it is fine to post a link to sale when someone asks for information. For people to post unsolicited links to key shops in general probably would smack of adding spam to the site. Anyone who buys a key from one of those community key swapping or reselling sites needs to understand the huge risk they are taking.

I remember that options screenshot being a joke posted on the forum. As far as I know the actual game has never used that font let alone that method of selecting options. Also the color scheme was brown and not neon green.

What about the zipper pull tabs? Are we still unzipping our packs by pulling on the original tab by week 2 or do we have to grasp the zipper head itself or some juryrigged tab made from a paperclip? Just wondering if the game back packs are TRULY miraculous or not...

*eyes…..so…..dry…*

I just know how the AI changes the traffic lights to red predicting my imminent arrival and trying to entrap me into breaking the law...
