    i know you wont make an A19 version, but does anyone know if the current version should work ok? asking before i download and potentially break my world (or more importantly, my wife's world. lol.)

    Most likely it will not work, and by the time you put the work in to fix the issues, a20 will be releasing anyway.  @Crater CreatorI would really like to see this one updated for a20 though.

    Why my NC is less than half minimum required hardware? My NUC with N5000 have better perfomance at Q9400, If you only look GHZ you go to bad way.

     

    The N5000 have turbo speed at 2.7ghz, quad core, 8gb ram and SSD for save world. We test this pc on build 18 without problem with 8 players.

    Incorrect. 

     

    I would put the min CPU for just the single-player client at a Q6600. If you compare stats, you can see that the N5000 falls well below that.  If you compare something closer to recommended spec, it's considerably behind.

    And about the turbo speed?  You do realize that you only get a short 10-15 second boost at turbo when it's called for. And it's usually only on a single core at the full speed. May be on half the cores at a lower speed.

     

    It could very well be that your CPU simply isn't capable of supporting the demands of the dedi client.

  3. How many zeds you get is determined by your gamestage. Your gamestage in that log was something like 3.

     

    As your character levels up and progresses it will increase. Day count does not matter. If your gamestage is low like that, you're hardly going to get anything.

  4. Vortex doesn't work with 7 Days. THe only thing Nexus is really good for is hosting the files. You will need to install the mods manually. The original location of the mod is here, and has installation instructions.

     

    Also, that mod hasn't been updated since Alpha 18. It is not likely to work on the current version of the game. It appears to be abandoned atm, and has not received any updates.

     

  5. DMZ'ing the PC isn't going to do much for you except expose critical ports to the internet that will put you at risk. DMZ in most modern modems/routers is not a true DMZ anyway, and only opens a select number of ports.

     

    You don't need to do anything with the 27015-27050 range. In fact, it's advised that you leave that alone completely. The things that need to use that port range are generally just sending data, or will open access via UPnP if necessary.

    For the game client you must forward port 26900 on the TCP protocol, and also the range 26900-26903 on the UDP protocol, to the host server. The local server host should have a static IP address in the local network.

    I'm really hung up on the Monitor right now. I originally had my heart set on a 27" 1080p 144hz Flat Panel but now I'm thinking about a 27" 1440p 144hz Flat Panel. I've already ruled out curved displays for personal reasons but I just can't figure out where to go from there. I've seen a lot of 1440p monitors with 165hz or even 170hz. Are those the ones that I should actually be looking at or should I stick with 144hz regardless of resolution? I've heard good and bad things about 1080p on a 27" but it all seems to come down to personal preference and I'd love to get a 27" instead of a 24" if possible.

    Curious about the preference on the flat panel. Though at 27" it really won't make a big difference, however when you get to some of the larger sizes, the curved screen is very desireable.

     

    I recently upgraded from 24" flat 1080p to a 35" curved 1440p. The difference is amazing.  Whatever resolution, I would stick with 144Hz. I mean honestly you don't need more than 60 unless you do a lot of gaming, but even with a lot of gaming you don't need above 144Hz unless it's competitive gaming.  Mine can do the adaptive 48Hz-144Hz, but is capable of overclocking to 165/170Hz. I've only seen it hit the upper ones in testing though.

    Really it comes down to what your budget is. I managed to snag this 35" for about $250, but they can usually start around $350-$450.

    How do i install this on my server? i uploaded the mod folder to the mods folder on the server and does not work at all

    That's pretty much how you do it. 

    The most common error is double-nesting the mod folder. Make certain that the folder layout looks something similar to this...

    So, I would love to know where you got the world data from?  Is that your personal Drive or is there a Great World Data Zip File Repository out there filled with awesome complete seed world files one can draw from?  (I want to try out a map with one of the vaunted Crack-A-Book Skyscrapers!) 

    I just yanked it from my Generated Worlds folder after creating the map, and then zipped it for sharing.

    ya and they have a 66' wingspan and weigh almost 5000lbs.

     

    Not remotely a similar comparison. We don't have consumer sized weapon equiped drones. The military ones are 2x the size of a Cessna

    Actually.....

    And yet because people play through it once, their numbers are low--representing new players.

    Yep.  Twice I went back to play it again. Didn't make it past two hours before I got tired of it and dropped it. There isn't enough variation in goals.  Same thing with The Forest. Was great the first time though, but doesn't really have any replay-ability.

    I feel like this depends entirely on how you play the game. My wife and I nailed down two 4x4's and a gyro without ever speccing into it. Between quests and trader buys and grinding, we've never been out of enough money to swing what we needed. 

    Yep, basically this.  We focus on books, hardware, and automotive stores straight off, while another goes mining and scavenging. What items we miss can usually be filled by a few trader visits. We are usually donning motorbikes by day 10 or so, and have a gyro shortly after.  No need to spend points in leveling the perks for it.

  13. The specs for my minimum hardware test rig.

     

    Motherboard: Intel DG33BU
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz
    RAM: 8GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 800MHz
    GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB Twin Frozr Gaming OC
    Storage: 1TB WD Black

     

    I was using a GTX 660Ti 2GB by MSI, but fried it using the cable for a different PSU. Apparently it fit, but the pinouts were different.

    It's currently capable of a relatively stable 60FPS. FPS does drop in about half for the dusk/dawn shadow issue, and fluctuates a bit during bloodmoon.

    Before a19 went stable I ran a series of tests on it comparing the differences between a bloated system, and one that is properly clean and optimized. The details are here.

  14. The way solar typically works is that it charges the batteries, and then spare power is used for the household. You build the systems so that the load from the household does not exceed the remaining value required to charge. It is not useful to draw from the batteries while you are charging them, as it will heat the batteries up more and shorten their lifespan.

     

    In-game it works very similarly. If you plan your setup accordingly, then you won't run into an issue. The devices will draw straight from solar during the day, and from the batteries at night.
