I've been able to spend a bit more time playing, up to day 12 now. Was down in a poi, I think it was some type of ore refinery. I kept hearing a dog growl, but couldn't find it. I finished looting the poi and headed out to find myself face to face with 3 dogs and 2 bears. OMG the bears are bullet sponges now. I emptied a clip of 9mm into one's face and it ate me. Surprisingly my 7 year old son was playing with me and out of no where he sniper shot them from so far away I couldn't see him (he had an 8x scope on his hunting rifle) and took them down. That was a lot of meat.
On another day I also heard a dog outside of our base, so I headed outside to kill it and it was a pack of about 6 dire wolves. Again, I was eaten. These random animal packs are great and add a lot to the game.
There really needs to be an adjustment to the hunger. I spend most of my time looking for food, I can eat can after can of food and then exert myself a little and I'm starving again. Meat takes 5 raw to make one charred. And 1 charred gives what, about 5 to hunger. I'm sure it's more useful if it's made with other things into stew or something, but at the early game it's next to useless.
I may be doing something wrong with farming. I found some corn. Takes 5 corn to make 1 seed. Plant a seed and grow a crop that yields 3 corn? That part is confusing me. Wouldn't it make more sense if 1 corn made 2 or 3 seeds? Or even just 1 seed. I haven't experimented with farming much, I did max out the skill. Maybe I'll try another veggie and see, if I can find one or a seed.

Graphics are much better. Even at night with the brightness up, it still feels like night. The textures are sharper, trees look better, new HD zombies look great. Overall a wonderful overhaul to the graphics.
The game is more difficult so far. Using a blunderbuss, primitive tools, etc. Makes it more difficult.
However this is also a negative. You have no chance of finding something good at early levels. in A18 it was way too easy to get quality 5 and 6 ak's in the first couple days. But now there is 0 chance of finding something nice because everything is locked behind gamestage. Not sure the point of the lucky looter perk now.
It's feeling a little less sandbox and a little more linear with the fact that you only gain specific items as you level and increase your gamestage.
The new tools are nice, a ratchet to take apart cars instead of a wrench? It's great, so much faster.
I also noticed they changed mining iron, now you get scrap iron instead of iron chunks. Not a big deal, but a noticeable change.
The crit's are a nice addition. Sprained arm, etc. But I don't think I've ever seen my hunger icon gone for more than a minute or so. The game is a non stop battle for food now. I thought there was going to be a hunger and thirst meter on your ui, I only get the icon that tells me when I'm hunger and thirsty, which is pretty much all the time.
Overall it seems pretty good so far, but I'm only a few days into the game.

What settings are you looking for on a server?
Just normal settings are fine. PVE. But the only pve server I found had 120 minute days, no loot respawn, etc. Made it hard to find anything useful because everything had already been looted, and no reason to setup a base if you have to keep moving all the time to find something that hasn't already been looted.

I enjoyed this mod until the newest update. The green UI is really horrible. Any easy way to fix it? And are there any servers running this mod? I found only 2 and they both had settings that I didn't like.

I like this mod, I get killed over and over, it's great. The only thing I have an issue with is the crafting menu, there are so many craftable items that when I open it, it lags for a few seconds. I assume adding more ram would fix the problem. And the fat guys exploding makes melee too challenging.

I figured out farming. lol, probably works the same as it did in a18, but food was never an issue there so i didn't farm. Yes, it takes like 5 corn to make a seed, but the seed grows the plant, you chop it down and it grows again. So that's pretty awesome actually. Had my day 14 horde, I was able to get up some spikes and electric fences, it seemed to work really well. I did notice the birds were MUCH stronger than on day 7. On day 7, one pistol shot and they were down. On day 14, big difference.
