[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Oh Frack!  So all those ()#&#^ shopping carts in the middle of the road will come back?

 

oh yeah, that's a "Turn it OFF! Turn it OFF!!" thing for me.

 

(or a "Nuclear Launch Detected..."  )

😛

 

[———AIRPORT———]

Putting it in the wasteland and have the rubble continue the runway after a certain point would make sense.

 

(sand dunes in the desert or snow drifts   also work.  Forest , naww.)

 

Or, just have a large lake (eg crater from big bomb)  where the runways would be.

 

 

[About the upcoming changes for water. And farming]

I changed the stack sizes on a buncha stuff to make things more consitent.

water (boiled/purified) being one.

 

'course, made a typo, trying to set 7.62 bullits to 300, and had an extra zero. I decided to leave it in for giggless.

 

 

I make glue in batches of 250 so that I have lots of duct tape, thus repair kits.

 

Will have to see how the changes work out.  If I don't like'em, well, that's what xml editing is for.

(and I bet I'll still have to "fix" various stack sizes)

 

[So, these three Z's were coming after me. The woman decided to go to the bathroom]

I have to find the clip where I shot the arms AND legs off a zed, watched him roll down the hill into a tree.

 

Trundle down, go to check the body thinking he's dead and...

 

"I'll bite your legs off!  You pansy!"

 

Nope, 'e weren't ded.

 

(was in A16)..

 

[Excellent work TFP]

When the crate lands way out in the water.... I'll use godmode.

 

Swimming does need work.

 

One of these days, I'm gonna shoot a rocket at those blind pilots.

😛

 

[So I caused an infinite chain if explosions...]

Was a chain of booms. The finale of the day.

(24hr stream, final bloodmoon...)

 

 

 

[So I caused an infinite chain if explosions...]

I want a video of this!

 

(I did a chain of 1000 barrels in A16.... so..     )

 

[Am I Thinking Right ?]

Hit F1.  CM    exit console.

Hit ESC.   choose teleporter.

type in     trader

 

There you have a list of all the traders before you take a single step.

 

Myth: Busted!

 

[Remember when beakers were the hard to find hot tamale?]

Acid is not so common at the traders anymore.

(or RNG is being... nasty)

 

None at 7 traders the last 3 refreshes.

 

(same for the last book I need to complete all the sets.)

mumble...

 

 

[I want to make a punkin cheesecake but I don't have any beer]

NO BEER?

 

Well, that explains much.

😛

 

 

[NEW Item/Weapon Idea - ZOMBIE PIZZA, when u throw it all zombies run to her and...]

add supercorn, pasta, and oh yeah, canned pears.

(only zombies would have pears on pizza)

 

😛

 

[Crafted furniture is it usable for storage?]

You can of course, mod the craftable cabinets etc, to have more storage.

(there might already be such a mod)

 

Once A21 drops, I know I'll be going through all that (again), and increasing the storage.

(already use a mod for the storage boxes/vehicles)

 

[You feel badass when you are low on meat and go to the polar biome to hunt]

Yup, meat central.

 

On the 10k pregen map, going to visit the traders in the snow....

 

Is why I've got over 2k meat just sitting in a box.

 

2 kitties, dire wolf and a bear just wandering about outside the trader.

 

Punchity-punchity!  

(steel knuckles & beer.  kill & harvest all at once) 

 

Knockin the head clean off a bear in 1 hit never gets old!

 

[What is the most useful item to loot in the first hour of the game?]

Wrench.  

 

While looking, if I don't find a pot on day 1, then I'll drop a point to make a forge, thus the pot.

 

 

[Voodoo Magic]

Don't need a love potion for Jen.

 

 

 

 

I've got the Dukes, she's got the ....  ....   Huge Tracts of Land! 

😛

 

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Save the Jar that Clinks, but NOT the Jar-Jar that Binks?

 

😛

 

[Weird Invisible Things Vehicles Bounce Off Of]

The random invisible forcefield is a known thing.  Vehicles or on foot.

 

It just happens.

[radiators in Arizona]

not 1 meter no, but California desert, (palm springs area), 

100 in desert, drive up into mtns, 15 min up the road, put on warmies.

10 more min, and it's snow.

(nice little valley up there)

 

reverse on the way down. (there's a lookout area part way down/up that has a nice view of the desert, and

is the spot to swap gear, change AC/Heat etc)

 

Then again, we do have random periodic force fields show up, soo....

 

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Pure mineral water is what I meant.

 

As long as that's still in (for A21), then okee dokee.

 

 

[Why do you want a grenade when you have explosive crossbow bolts?]

1 hour ago, theFlu said:

You can also deploy a desired dosage of doomballs pre-emptively; wait for the crowd and the detonate them all at once.

 

Same for the pipe bombs.

 

Junkyard is great for this on BM.

The pit in the garage section.   Zeds do gather there.

Toss a bunch of unlit bombs, then 1 molotov, then 1 lit pipe bomb.

 

Bonus points for bouncing a flaming zed off the ceiling!  

 

 

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Is the Purified Water recipe going away then?

[I really shuldn't play this when I've been drinking rum]

I prefer beer, but rum is good.

(I already know why it's always gone)

 

Ladders and booze...  very bad mix.

Don't try to fix spikey things  in the moat while likkered up either.

 

If you don't have a back door, then you should make one.

Carefully if all rummed up. 

 

 

[Should the PoI guide lights be gone?]

They're also there to remind you/show you that...

 

"They're waiting for you Gordon.."

"on the ledge Gordon.."

😛

 

(roof/ledge.. doesn't matter. They're waiting...)

 

[For the first time I actually liked the buzzards]

We played a few overhaul mods and i gotta say some of the weapons there make the buzzards really funny. It´s something else when you hit that thing with melee and yeet it over 2 POI´s. You could propably kill a handfull of zombies with melee before it hits the ground again.

 

You can do that just by upping the damage on a weapon or 2.

I did that with the .44   (just added a 0 to the damage)     some hilarious ragdoll effects.

 

Try something like that with a steel club.   "Batter UP!" indeed.   heh.

(or the steel knuckles)

 

[Melee weapon discussion.]

I don't think you're alone in this. As opposed to early game where guns are your backups for those oh sh*t moments, mid to late game that seems to flip where melee is your backup in case a zed gets to close while you're reloading. I do wish there were another top tier melee weapon like a katana that sliced through all but the toughest enemies like butter.

 

I have seen a YT video about an "unkillable" brawler build, but I can't remember the specifics. It of course heavily relied on beer and fully spec'd heavy armour, but I've never played it myself, so not sure how sustainable it is.

 

 

This one? 

 

 

That's basically my main tank one.  I go heavy machine gun first, then add the brawler later.

 

It is a very fun build.
