I believe this is the issue. A lot of players still don't do the missions that traders offer. I honestly only use them when I need something, like filters early on.

This is why we use mineral water. I believe it is 65 points of water, among other bonuses that reduce food consumption.

I am surprised this discussion is still happening. That said, people keep mentioning boiling water. Has anybody here, in real life, done this? I have. I grew up in the wilderness in an era before we had The Internet. Boiling water may make it safe in an emergency, but the water is NASTY. Distilling makes clear, safe water. Filtering and boiling make it clear. If you simply boil water that has other things in it, those things remain, even if neutralized. Games always get this wrong. Heck, they had to slap a warning on "The Long Dark" stating that it was a game and not a replacement for real survival training due to facts like this. As such, the dew collectors produce FAR safer water. As for the jars, I could take or leave them. Played with them for years and while I miss them, it's one less thing to scavenge and worry about.

Each dew collector creates 2% heat per hour and it lingers for five hours. If you empty it out regularly, this equates to 10% heat per DC as long as they run. If they fill up with three jars, no heat is created.

Defaults. I did write a mod that decreases heat produced by dew collectors due to the screamer-parties they caused, but I played vanilla before writing the mod I did normal without too much trouble.

I get around a hundred waters (dirty/yellow) a week from toilets and such. We DO have a dew collector farm since I make all kinds of foods requiring water, but I also turn water into mineral water and we use less that way.

Okay, I thought that the "scream" what a custom method in her class/entity/whatever that did the work. Am I wrong in remembering back in like A15 a spawned screamer WOULD spawn zeds?

Just adding my experience here also. In A20 and now A21, if you spawn in a screamer, she can scream, but nothing spawns. I am NOT having issue with screamers spawned normally bringing in hordes, some of which include more screamers.

It is also common on high-security Windows Server boxes, or workstations in a high-security environment. Gaming rigs, not so much. I used to manage a server-farm that had 2022 on USB3.2 drives on a special port on the motherboard (USB 3.2 port) and the RAID disks in the servers was solely for data.

I have had them on the island in my pit base, on a farm away from our base, and at other locations and they DO get attacked. Not often, but it happens.

Yeah, I am not boycotting any of the great Unity games out there. 7 Days, The Long Dark, Subnautica 1 and 2, The Forest and Sons of The Forest, Thief Simulator and American Theft 80's, Firewatch, Kona, Party Hard and PH2, and so many more. My concern now is if these games will be removed from my library should the companies go away.

Incorrect. We have lost several to zeds on more than one occasion.

I would start by resetting everything to default, selecting your NATIVE resolution, and setting exclusive fullscreen mode (highest framerate in exclusive). Go from there.

I didn't realize people were still finding out about the jar change. I don't mind it. It was hard at first, but now I just setup a field of dew collectors at our farm and we're good. Granted, we run my mod that reduces heat from them down to 2% max instead of 10% max (I expect the devs to tweak this value at some point), but beyond that we're good with the change. I do miss grabbing water from lakes and rivers, but it's all good. Now it generates automatically for me. I do wish that the collectors would rapidly produce water while it rains though. That or give us a water-collector. Either could be very useful.

I suppose I should put my mods on GitHub too. I keep them on my PC and Google Drive, but that would simplify things.
