Well me being 99.9% of the time a solo player, my junkie has been a second gun when doing higher tier level quest and guards me while mining. But I agree that I don't understand why they switched to lead for ammo.

Tier level differences, hunting rifle is 2 tiers below sniper rifle. It's same with most tools and weapons, as you go up in tier, the damage increases. So the Vulture is a higher tier than the revolver. This is a video game, not a real life simulation.

The wire seems to come out of the fence lower than in previous Alphas. It use to come out about a half block above the floor, now it's almost even. Running the fence post horizontal isn't always an option.

I was wondering why they did that. I still think they need to add a bit of LBD, for example, every game hour you mine, should be worth X% of reading a magazine, so spending a night mining would add a mining tool magazine.

I always have two separate bases, my main living/crafting base with a mini horde tower as part of it for wandering/screamer hordes. I build a seperate, sometime multiple horde bases, designed to to fight hordes exclusively. I usually build in a tougher biome with limited supplies, that way, worst case, I lose a base, not my supplies and crafting stations.

Much like Glock9 would be if all recipes now required corn meal LOL

Why does everyone want to make the base game tougher for everyone, nothing is stopping you from making it tougher for yourself! The trader rewards, IMO, have been toned down plenty from A20. Some people find the base game tough enough, I tweak the game game to be tougher on me, but that's my choice. At 69, my ability to play at the level of those youtubers or you super gamers do, my best gaming days are long past me. I love 7D2D and have been playing since A16 when I was turned on to it by a friend.

I like this idea, but let's simplify it a bit, keep the current system but add LBD by a point in reading to it. Making something, should just provide the XP, but using the item should add to the magazines you've read. For example mining with a pick should add to the percentage of reading a magazine, say 5% for each RT minute your using the tool. Or the amount of damage you do with a weapon would add a percentage of magazine reading, depending the weapon used. The more damage a weapon does per shot or melee attack reduces the percentage of reading.

How is that different from Alpha 20? The current system, keeps things random with the XP points helping you in the areas you want to lean towards. One of the many ways the keep the replayability high. I really liking this system, IMO Alpha 20 wsa too easy.

I had a treasure spawn next to a trader, guess where the chest was. I used debug to get to to it, but I couldn't open the chest. 😂

I use Second Copy and backup my saves and maps to my Dropbox. This allows to recover in case of problems and to play the same save on other computers,

I love those, the make great fuel for the forges, campfire and Chem Station. Makes for a lot fewer trees I have to cut down

Damn you Legolas!

With LOTL 2, I find a minimum of six plots will keep me well feed and generally enough excess for bad harvests/RNG rolling.

It's the only way to be sure...

Current game, day 46, and still no crucible found of for sale fro any of the five traders I visit. So I at level 3 better barter, I put my .44 in my hand, ate a pumpkin cheese pie and threw 9000 dukes on the ground and and went Creative Mode and gave myself one. Day 49, guess what every trader has for sale. LOL Oh well, I had a forge chuck full of smelted iron, 1100 steel ingots worth waiting for the crucible, well at least I had my horde tower reinforced with steel at the critical areas, luckily no Demos had shown up.

I have been know to buy weapons in order to scrape them to give me the parts I need to craft one. Which is why I have no problem building tier 3 weapons as it can be sold later on or even scrapped if necessary.

It depends on how much FOV you want for the them, I use an arrow slit in some cases.

Yes, you have to build a new one. I either lay a bed roll on top of it it or put the bedroll in another location.

I like big loot bag drops, with A20's new biome loot stage, I build my horde bases in tougher biome to generate better loot.

They are quite a few POIs that are more than one building, you may have selected one of those as your base.

If you want bigger hordes, just increase the number in the start-up menu. I play solo as well and ramp the number as I progress, I start at 16 for the first one, 24 for the next 3 or 4 and then go to 32.

That Jen is one sneaky lass'

I will craft tier 3 or 4 weapons if I'm able and haven't looted something as good or better. Also tier 2 weapons early game as I usually point one of the four initial points into melee, usually wood club, and a point in bow.
