    As it is now, you punch a crop, you get your harvest and the seed stays planted. With this change, you punch the crop and the seed is no longer planted but you have a 50% chance of getting the seed back in your inventory

     

    I think...

     

    I would assume the Living off the Land perk increases this percentage chance?

    It's also because people like to watch other people be entertaining. Maybe they are funny, maybe that have a very relaxing personality, maybe they can do things in a game that a viewer cannot.

     

    It's not just "watching someone play a game". It's more for the person playing it and the entertainment they provide.

     

    I don't speak for everyone here, but as further evidence for this, I would never be interested in watching a gaming-focused channel that provides zero commentary, outside of tutorial videos.

    It's not demeaning I just don't understand why people like watching someone else do something they are very capable of doing, if someone wants to sit around watching paint dry by all means do it but seems a little boring. 

     

    This is simply a perspective that you will probably never share. I could make the same argument about sports. Taking soccer as an example, in my opinion it's just a childish game about two teams kicking a ball around and sometimes including some immature, violent fans starting fires and riots if their favorite team doesn't win. It's ridiculous in my eyes but that doesn't make it any less valid of a form of entertainment (excluding the last bit I mentioned). If someone can find purpose in an activity, then that activity is worth pursuing, so long as they are not harming themselves or anyone else. Not everyone has to "get it" to make it worthy of existing.

    I don't understand why some people have to demean others in regards to what they find as entertaining or what they want to do with their time.  I sometimes wonder if demeaning others is their way of putting some value in their lives.

     

    Reminds me of the time one of my former teachers in high school many years ago claimed she banned YouTube from her home because content creators make money off of their videos/streams. *Shrug*

    I do understand now.  

     

    I like to watch certain things and I also like to do those certain things.  and I definitely enjoy watching and doing those things at the same time.

     

    So you have things to see and people to do?

    For some reason, I Want to like that one. I don't, but I want to. Agreed :)

     

    So do I. I wish it were more like Skyrim's system where the higher your rank, the easier it is to break open more advanced locked containers. But alas, even with the perk maxed out, you can still waste 50 lockpicks on a wall safe on occasion. ;)

    People unsubscribe for not using a tool the way they think I should. Yes, that happens. So ya, if we're wrong and me making the announcement is early, I will lose followers.

     

    ...And shortly thereafter you'll gain plenty more subs to replace them. ;) A20 will breathe fresh life into the game, as we can all agree upon.

  8. - Treasure hunter - Treasure chests/buried supplies are so few and far between compared to conventional looting that I cannot justify the purchase

    - The infiltrator

    - Iron Gut

    - Animal Tracker -  (I don't want text popping up every time I crouch in-game if there are animals nearby or not... Plus the larger game very spawn these days, and even

                                   without them I am swimming in meat)

    - The Huntsman

    - Well Insulated

    - Any of the perks under Agility outside of a stealth build

    - Pack mule

    - Master chef

    - Whatever perk is in the Intellect tree that grants better healing and some medical recipes (blanking out on the name); I just never think to take it, but it's not a bad perk imo

    Have you ever thought about not being a negative nancy for once? Cos you do that a lot.

    I recommend trying it. Or just don't reply to me. Because you're negative most of the time you do.

     

    You're right, and I give you apologies. I do not wish for us to be on negative terms with one another, so I retract my previous statement, and any past ones I've made.

    They were told the same as I've said here that this weekend is looking good and hasn't been ruled out and we will know for sure as soon as Rick makes the official announcement. They've decided to hedge their bets and possibly get first scoop. If it turns out to be true then they win and if it turns out to be next weekend then...oopsie!!

     

     

     

     

     

    Do I sense a ban hammer coming their way if they are incorrect? ;)

    Because you need this. You should be able to reproduce it now 100%. Edit: Notice that you can reproduce this with every object with a camera preview, unknown if it's only the three mentioned in my report.

     

     

     

    Thank you. I forgot to mention that they need to be wired up. My bad.

    @Blake_ Did you experience this issue by simply interacting with the electrical devices instead of having to resort to using the camera? During my tests simply entering the interface of the shotgun turret, SMG turret, spotlight, motion sensor, elec timer relay, or dart trap and then backing out caused interference with placing/picking up frames at most angles. (Note: I relogged after each consecutive test.)

  12. Is it too late to report on the bug tracker? I found an issue where if you enter the interface of a shotgun turret, SMG turret, dart trap, electric timer relay, motion sensor, or spotlight, the ability to nerdpole or pick up frames is severely crippled. In other words, your camera has to be in a very specific position to pick up or place frames, and sometimes it won't let you do this at all. A simple relog fixes this.

    Heh, neat find, that's one blue spruce... :)  .. As the talk was about if it is found in vanilla, at least your UI is slightly modded; any chance you've used a 3rd party map gen for the game?

     

    Also, you already have the looted-counter there, you went and put it back for the screenie? (I know I would have.. :) )

     

    The only mods I had installed were a bigger backpack, the inventory slot lock mod, and a different UI. I bounce back and forth between KingGen and vanilla and I've encountered lootable trees in both map generators. I've also found numerous trees where deco (flowers, small rocks, etc.) spawned in the exact same place as them, resulting you in getting that item instead of wood and the tree having 1 HP.

     

    I'm honestly impatient so I never look inside a container while looting it. I press the "R" key about 5/6th the way through the loot cycle so that the instant it is completed I'm out of the loot container and the items are already in my inventory. :) I thought it was going to be another bird's nest tree so I thought nothing of it.

    No crucible in a tree's nest..? Darn. :)

    Those seem to happen, very rarely, it's a tree and a bird's nest that somehow spawned into the same spot. The tooltip shows what you're aiming at, the loot table is from the nest. Or something to that effect :)

     

    Recently I found a chainsaw schematic inside of a tree (ironic, I know), indicating that a garbage pile had spawned in the exact same position, leading to this issue. So a crucible schematic is technically possible. :) You would just have to search a lot of trees.

    There was a bug when a tree and birds nest spawned on the same spot and it appeared like you were searching a tree and got feathers/eggs but I thought it had been fixed. Haven’t seen this one in vanilla.

     

    I've encountered it numerous times in A19 RWG, so it's still a thing.

    As a matter of fact, I just found said image...

  15. I play too much 7 Days To Die for my own good. My life revolves around this game, I think about it all the time. It's even come to the point where sometimes I dream about it. That's an embarrassing fact I probably shouldn't have shared, but I chose to share it, so there you go. Once the Kraken awakens from its slumber, I can't wait to get sucked down this rabbit hole all over again, digging this pit even deeper around myself with no chance of escape.

     

    God I love this game.

    Anyone else feel that TFP are going for this weekend to release?  It would be something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving weekend.

     

    If it was when would we know?

     

    Roland has already confirmed that this Thanksgiving is not going to happen. It even says so on the front page. :)
