Mailboxes/newspaper stands/stores usually have a fair amount of magazines to help your progression. The traders also have them for sale and are different depending on who it is.
The last time I looted an electronics store, I gained 10+ mags in electronics. Themed stores are the way to go if you are looking for specific skill improvements.

I don't think this makes sense. Why would something your character basically invents have ammo for it in the wild?

A 2x and a crossbow is such a deadly combo for a stealth build. I get that as early as I can. Crossbows are very effective because headshots are super easy due to low bolt drop at distance due to the speed of the projectile.

Unless a zombie is deepthroating the barrel of your shotgun, you are very lucky to have every bit of shot hit them. Slug is a guaranteed at center of mass at 5 meters. Huge difference.
Kill distance is a massive benefit and I think that should be reflected in lower total damage. You are never going to land all shot on a single target at 5 meters unless you are super lucky.

Seems to me like the ones who don't like the way things are right now in this particular thread are a majority, not a minority. If you can't listen to those that hate it, then why are you here talking to those that hate it?
.
The general rule is, people who like something tell 3 people. People that dislike something tell 11.
In other words, people who dislike something are always way more motivated to complain, than people who like it are to give praise.
If that wasn't the case social media would be a net positive experience, but we all know that isn't the case.

And we're back to relying on traders again which we've already established breaks the game balance. Editing / modding the game is completely irrelevant to the issue at hand.
Your opinion is they break game balance. You may have established that, I didn't. I personally think this is the most fun version of the game I have played and I started at A6. If you don't like the direction, load up A20.
It is impossible to please everyone all the time, so you aim for the middle. Some people will love it, and you can't just listen to those that hate it. Those that do are always the vocal minority.
There will never be a perfect version that suits everyone because there will always be something you loved from an old Alpha. I personally would wait 2x as long for a map with caves. That isn't happening unless I mod it. Do I @%$# and moan, or do I use my agency and power to please myself? Modding is so easy now. Drop in a modlet done. It will take you less time than writing your last post
People with agency who complain when they have the power to fix it themselves vs. waiting months for a potential bug fix crack me up.

That doesn't solve a damn thing. You need loot in order to get books, and you need books in order to craft anything useful. Therefore, lowering the loot changes nothing other than make the problem worse by not being able to do anything even longer.
Buy them. Nothing stopping you from buying books. Give yourself rules about what you can and can't use. Edit the loot table. I am sure there is a mod that will address this soon. I play dead is dead, because respawning doesn't have a significant penalty. Self made rule, that makes the game more fun/challenging for me.

Too much loot. Lower it in options.
People that complain about similar things baffle me when 99% of what they are complaining about is user adjustable.
Give yourself rules like you can only craft x type of gear. You have the power

Toilets are you best friend. Lots have murky water you can boil with a pot. You can also drink water with your hands, but you will risk disentary.

Red commonly means "can't use" in other games.
Ya as in it has no practical use for you

The problem with the indicator is it isn't intuitive for a new player. It would be better if it just said "known" instead of an indicator that already looks similar to the unread state.
Even better, green not read, red already known zero confusion.

To echo others, the only way I know how to keep a game fresh after a 1000hrs is to make new custom maps, or include new mods.
To say this isn't much of a game is a syntax error on your part. If it wasn't much of a game I can guarantee you that you wouldn't have more hours invested in this playthrough than it takes to complete most AAA rpgs.

Strange. I've found none. Only paper and murky water. Day 47.
Ya my current game I am on day 5 and I haven't found one yet. roughly 40 murky water and a few reems of paper, but no pistols yet. Haven't even thought about needing a dew collector yet with all the H20
For those finding them, what's you biome location and lootstage?

The shots that landed, tended to be the ones you waited the longest for the aim reticule to collapse. It also seems to jump up milliseconds before you shoot. Almost like the recoil is happening before the bullet leaves the gun. It felt like the sound was delayed after the recoil.

Shoot a chicken. Now you have bones for glue and meat

Wait, so... what? So like, a land claim block has an effect on game stage now? I've always just thrown them away when playing solo and have never had any issues with game stage (mind you, it's been a few years since I last made a base outside of forest biome).
If you don't place the landclaim down in a POI radius, and that POI can still spawn zombies, they will be at the heightened gamestage.
Once you place the land claim block, the POI ceases to be able to spawn, so the zombies will all have to originate outside it's radius. I haven't checked this and verified the gamestage once placed, but given that this removes zombies from spawning, my "assumption" is that they are relative to to their spawn location, and since it can not be in the adjust POI radius, they should spawn at a lower gamestage.
Now I need to check this as I could just be talking out of my ass

Warmer, that is awesome, again. How is hte FPSs in your rig? I feel it will kill mine. .

Post edit, any laptop or desktop that's above the 200 - 400$ price range (IMO, period) should have at least 16GB of ram.

Oh the first elevator shaft I fell down and broke my leg only to realize I was going to have to drop into an ambush room below. The tension of that decision was great. Double checked all my weapons were repaired and ready, and dropped down. Died within seconds, but it felt very action hero sacrifice for the greater good kind of vibe. (Only I was playing solo)

For hordes, I tend to just build a single block hallway about ten blocks long. I elevate it by two blocks so the zombies path down the hallway directly at me. Once I get access to electric fences, I put those across the path. Then I shoot every single zombie in the head. It's cheap. It's simple. I don't really consider it to be cheese because if I run out of ammo, I'm pretty much dead. .
I wouldn't call that cheese. That seems like a really logical way to deal with it. I am more referring to game mechanics you couldn't recreate in real life, or exploiting a bug in the AI pathing.

Well if you start it and go on a quest does it really matter how long it takes? I mean you aren't spending that extra time gather resources, so that is where the time comes in. I think for game balance it's probably like this. They have to find some way to offset the gains or no one would craft it the other way.
This sets you up for a choice. Horde night starts in 3hrs. Do I craft it in a stack and take longer making me rush to make bullets, or do I sacrifice resources for time gained to make those bullets.
To put it another way. Imagine you are making a pepperoni pizza. You can be precise and place every piece on one at a time perfectly, or you save time and just throw a handful of pepperoni at the pizza. Sure half will land on the floor, but you got the job done faster lol
Faster in any manufacturing setting is always sloppier and more wasteful. Precision measuring takes more time than eyeballing a handful of material quantities. I would guess this was their line of thinking.

" But also ive been literally trying to "play it real" which means things like:
- storage/storage cheats need to be placed on the floor/tables, and are not to be stacked unrealistically
- campfire must go on a stone/concrete floor or near/in a fireplace. If one does not exist, i mist retrofit one in.
- campfire/forge require a chimney (made or part of the building)- i have to have a room for sleeping.
- cold food/drinks have to go in appropriate storage/etc.I like playing this way because I use 7d2d as a walking dead simulator, I like having something less arcade like. This is why I am not a huge fan of the overhaul mods that add a bunch sci Fi / magic elements. While I think things like Darkness Falls are incredible for the scope and work that has been put into, it just takes it too far out of the setting I want to play in.

Oh that is a really cool concept being able to dynamically change the pathing taken on the fly. Thanks for the idea!

It´s as predictable as before. You collect the magazines based on your points. You choose wich crafting skills will be leveled faster than others.
Random magazine drops influenced by skill choice is NOT predictable. Lol it's weighted RNG.
The old system had ZERO randomness to the progression aside from finding a blueprint. Almost everything was locked behind a stat. I would argue this system is much more open ended than the old system.

Agreed. There are many things that aren't important to the main game. I am sure a lot of cosmetic things will be added via mods. The devs are focused on core gameplay elements.
