And I'm back and I'm not banned nor was my account suspended. Your soft side is showing @Roland. Might want to step up your game a little.
Or is this a subtle way of you acknowledging my relevance?

Whether you like it or not, this is my character from now on. So get used to it.
So tell me @Astronomical, you got family? Close family, perhaps?

Wow, y'all really know how to treat the only important member of these forums, that being me. Good luck in the real world, kiddos.

Well one solid argument I can think of for mods in crafting stations is the heat map. Assuming the mechanic hasn't been changed, more crafting stations equals more heat but improved ones doesn't. So you would have less screamers knocking on your door.
Unless of course you're the kind of guy that likes screamers. 😉
I often have 20-30 forges going at any given time late-game; my record so far has been 60. What does that tell you?

I already tried this, it's a chore for me... maybe you enjoy activities that I don't, I don't know.
Anyway that's just a secondary issue and I don't understand what your point is... we already have the forge which has slots for mods who do the same exact thing I'm asking.
It's like saying "let's remove mods from the forge since you can do the same by crafting more of them". It doesn't make much sense to me.
You either use a system consistently for ALL workstations OR you don't use that system at all.
Alright, you do you, to each their own and all that. Just whatever you do, don't make 3 cement mixers. It's the same reason why I would be against having 3 slot forges. Splitting stacks into odd numbers, now THAT is a chore. Splitting once, splitting twice, splitting thrice...
True, but managing forges is, at least as of A19, just that little bit more demanding than cement mixers. You have to manage input, output, fuel, ingredients... Cement mixers, you just have to manage sand, stone, and cement, maybe some sand crafting as well. I don't know why, maybe it's just me, but between the two, asking for a mod that increases the production rate of cement mixers just seems like fluff compared to the anvil/advanced bellows? Just my perspective. Besides, consistency and all that; what about mods for the workbench and chemistry station?
Now a mod to craft cement out of the cement mixer (but it taking longer than in the forge), now there's an idea... Coupled with your idea for the mod that allows to craft items faster... Nevermind, take back what I said. 😛

Well, it's not exactly the same... splitting production to several mixers to gain time is a chore in itself TBH... 😕
Nah, once you get into the habit of it, it'll become second nature to you. I always have 3-4 going. All it takes is a couple of seconds.

(I don't know who to ask this...)
Any plans on adding mods to the Cement Mixer in A20?
I was thinking maybe you could add a slot for a mixer engine so that we can craft concrete faster.
Maybe even an input slot for stone that gets automatically used for whatever recipe.
Regarding your first idea, you could simply make another cement mixer. 😛

Meanwhile, after taking a temporary break from 7D2D, I hopped back in and got a day 1 bicycle crafted.
I spawned on the edge of a town next to a small mansion I recognized, one with close to a dozen bookshelves inside. I cleared it out, set down my storage, and scavenged the place, immediately finding the bicycle chassis and bicycle handlebars schematics in some bookshelves. I left my temporary abode and I saw that Trader Rekt was right adjacent to me, so I looted his compound and discovered he had a working workbench and a working chemistry station. Following this discovery I raided the house across the street and came out with enough materials, including forged iron, to craft my bicycle before 15:00 hours. Gotta love it.

Clothing is armor and armor is clothing. There will be a wide range of stats balanced to how good the perks are, and if it is light or heavy armor. There is a wasteland assassin outfit designed for killing and stealth. Plant fiber and cloth armor are now merged to "primitive outfit". Then there is leather and commando. For heavy it's scrap, iron and steel, cool words pending. Even the scrap iron set makes iron man's first suit look weak, these are really cool outfits.
Typo FFS. I suppose a sale is good, but for games that smash it (this one does) f it, buy it today. I didn't finish GTA 5, I didn't particularly like being a scum bag. RD2 you have some choice there and can be a good outlaw or a bad outlaw, and the overall vibe is helping your group of people and not becoming a drug/ganglord so I guess it appeals to me more. Plus it's like your clint eastwood in an old west movie so it's cool. Once you get out of the snow part in the beginning and get settled in a camp and they let you sand box, it's awesome. It's so good I might play as a scum bag on a 2nd play through.
Hey, I was just teasing.
Ehh, I missed the sale by a few days, but it's whatever. You've convinced me. Life of an outlaw, here I come.

I don't like 2d games. I'm playing Read Dead Redemption 2, excellent game.
Now that all shipments to my place are delayed until Q1 2021, I've been thinking of giving Red Dead Redemption 2 a crack. I'll probably wait until it goes on sale on Steam though.
Also, a spelling error from Madmole? Now that's a rare sight indeed.

Speaking of weapons, will SMG's and Hunting Rifles be made more common in A20? They barely seem to exist in this current update, at least with my experience. Anyone else?

I have huge sympathy for you dying to the dire wolf! I have died to it myself and laughed while my castle nerd boy husband died to it too. I highly doubt they will add a growl to it if there isn't one already, because of the fact that they are trying to get the game done. I think with the dire wolf, we will all have to just keep dying and laughing about it later when we remember the screams of our jump scare.
For me zombie dogs are worse somehow. We were playing a dead is dead nomad game for our channel and I got wiped out by a pack of dogs on day 2, growls and all. lmfao 😅😂
The worst part is if it's early game and all of your weapons happened to be on you when you died, and the dire wolf is spawn camping your death backpack. 😂

Hope you don't stop at biome modifiers and add stacking town and POI modifiers, plus some extra dynamic modifiers that change with stuff like weather, time, debuffs etc. You've got a wealth of content in the game. Shake things up a bit, give us more varied playthroughs, less inclusive lootlists so that everything isn't everywhere and long-term goals like the radiation zones you are planning. And stop playing Skyrim and play some Rimworld for god's sake MM 😛
Agreed. Gamestaged POI's, gamestaged biomes, a gamestage slider... That would be... *Chef's kiss*

So if you have any questions or concerns my good sir/ma'am, I suggest calling technical support. The number can be found above. 🙂 If you have any complaints, they will be immediately written down and then tossed into the nearest fireplace/shredder, yadda yadda yadda, you get the picture. Thank you, and have a nice day. 🙂
Edit: Ahh Roland, thanks for taking out the trash. Just don't delete this interaction, it's made my day honestly.

As of right now, and probably for a very, very long time (maybe forever).

yep. Quote whom you are responding to. Not only does it tie things together nicely but people can click on the quote to go to the original post.
Or there's that.

Hmm, I got that backwards. All the responses were moved here. Splitting discussions is confusing.
It's about keeping things tidy. Every so often a new member (whether they revisit the forums or not is another question) would complain about how they would have to sift through dozens of pages to maybe get one useful post from a developer. A lot of people simply do not have time on their hands.
I'm sure something could be done to "tie conversations together", such as providing links to the original message in every post in which someone responds to it, but that would be an unnecessary amount of work on Roland's part when it doesn't matter at the end of the day. In about a week few, if any, people will revisit these specific posts.

How many more times will Madmole have to post “just like the book sets” before how the clothing sets work will sink in...?
Do you want me to pull out an abacus?

They are trying something new and will release A21 before A20. They found out backtracking is a lot easier.
Seriously, MM already said A20 would have more features and the time till end-of-year too short. Look at the feature list and you wouldn't believe him anyway if he said they were targetting December 😉
So June-July 2021 then. Gotcha.

From what I've heard that's simply not true. Pipe weapons will exist alongside the blunderbus.
I've heard different, so... Oh @madmole? Care to bring upon us some final clarification here if you wouldn't mind?

Loved the stream! Regarding the new pipe weapons, would it be right to assume that the pipe shotgun is going to be an updated replacement for the blunderbuss? That's something I've been wanting to see for a while actually.
And could this new tier of pipe weapons be a potential sign of scrap metal tools in the future as well? I really dig the idea of crude, salvage scrap crafting in the post-apocalypse setting.
The pipe shotgun is going to be replacing the blunderbuss, yes. Also, blunderbuss ammo is going in the recycle bin; each pipe weapon will use their own respective standard ammo (9mm, etc.).
