afaik waterfilters protect you against organisms down to 0,2 microns of size. but boiling or purifier tablets kill viruses too which are much smaller (0,02 microns for hepatitis A for example). without distillation water from rivers where there are human settlements upstream is hazardous because its contaminated with poisonous heavy metals and chemicals aswell.

back in alpha 15 or 16 we played a lot of mulitplayer and there were big cities present with lots of skyscrapers or remains of them with street canoys in between. in alpha 20 i have yet to find something like that the urban areas i walked into so far all look like suburbs taken out of a simpsons episode and/or little towns, but even the loading screen features 3 skyscrapers so i expect at least the graphic desginers are aware of the fascination of those. so my question is do cities with a approriate number of tall buildings exist in this version?

that is correct. i went into the room below. noticed a hole in the ceiling. stacked 3 woodblocks to jump up. started to lock-pick the chest. looted it. opened my inventory and startet to disassemble items i dont need. (maybe also other stuff like eating an drinking but im not sure about that - in case that has a effect on spawning monster). while doing that through the transparent inventory-screen i watched the 3 Zs appear in front of me and start hitting me. could not even hit the escape key and start machinegunning before they started to do damage on me

also it was in single player if that has any relevance. a game locally running (no remote server).

yes it is store_hardware_02. on PREGEN6k, seed xmas, coordinates 583 49 -1273 the thing i found odd is that i had that area in clear view and all 3 of them spawned at once 1 block in front of me instantly starting to melee. i thougt maybe a trigger is wrong or the game handles an "open inventory" (which is semi-transparent) as a situation where i cannot see infront of me and therefore (wrongfully?) spawns them. i have never noticed enemies spawning basically on top of me.

with the new patch that rolled out tonight i started a new game just for fun and on day 5 in entered a "tool shop". im not sure which file- oder model-name that exact building has but for clarification i added a screenshot below from which it could identified. anyway here is what happend: i went into it and fought a few zombies. (this building has a semi second-level just for zombies to break the ceiling an fall down it seems). i then piled up 3 building blocks to nerdpole up and check out that place out of curiosity. in front of me was a chest and i spend around 30 seconds to lockpick it, plundered it and then opened mit inventory and started to disassemble items from my bag. the reason i tell all this is because i spend like a minute or two standing still and not moving, just beeing occupied with lockpicking that chest and the clean up my inventory when all of a sudden 3 zombies spawned 1 block in front of me while i was locking in that direction out of nowhere. one was sitting (supposed to be a sleeper i guess but woke up in a instant and 2 battleready ones hitting on me. it seems that is a bug and not intentional or did this happen to someone else aswell? screenshots of where that happend https://i.imgur.com/63feiCo.jpg screenshot of the building to identify https://i.imgur.com/M8NJXMS.jpg

Im interested in your settings since my computer and GPU is pretty old and i would like to use yours. without modification i got 40~ fps in the 5 minutes i tried the game.

i wonder why do you care about how this software version is named. does it really matter? what we want is a entertaining game. you got that it seems if you talk about 3000 hours of fun. getting still updates for it despite beeing so old should be a welcome bonus. what extra benefit do you get from it beeing namend "alpha", "beta", "nitro", "the ultima edition" or "#0100000C.000FE800" ?
