You can still find recipes and books to craft those items, without ever going into perks. The perk option is only quicker in some cases (if you can't find it randomly yet in loot or at the traders) and gives you additional bonuses that the recipes besides themselves cannot give you. In fact, some items are only able to be crafted via finding the recipes for it. The other downside is that without any perk points, you can only craft a level 1 version of that item. But that falls under the concept of decisions and consequences of our decisions. Your version of casual mode seems just to be an adult version of Minecraft. Which is fine as I am a big supporter of people playing the game they want to, not being forced to do it. But that is something that I don't think TFP want to spend developer time and resources to do when they have so much more to do to get the game they want out there in its finished state. This is one of those things that fall under the concept of having modders out there do these types of modes / changes.

Or have deep pockets and not concerned about paying a significant markup on ones you find from "third" party sellers

That is up to Madmole and the development team, but based on MM's past comments, I believe what we have today is their goal and if people want to play it differently, they are going to have to mod the game themselves or just play past Alphas. They are working on simplifying some aspects of the game, but MM's intent with 7D2D is to have a game where choices matter. They are working on giving us a solid baseline game, but it is up to us players to make the changes if we want it to be easier or harder. At least that has been my takeaway based on comments made over several Alphas. I don't claim to know the mind of MM and the development team.

Does a new POI come with it? IPEA!

I have run in the same situation - not realizing I am still crouched as I try to get away from a pack of zombies after me. And I agree wit the statement that we shouldn't change the environment (toggle switches). However, in real life, I can easily tell if I am crouched or not. In the game, it sometimes is not apparent that I am crouching when I want to run away from the danger. It would be nice (like Meganoth mentioned) if there was a better visual indicator that you are currently crouched or not. I have no issues with the keys themselves, it is just that the awareness could be better IMHO.

Should it be called Modifications or maybe... Game Modification? 🙂

If you installed new modlets, your file is probably messed up now. Just deleting them won't necessary fix the issues if it is looking for items that those modlets introduced into your current game. Without your log files or a list of mods that you installed, it is very difficult to assist you. There can be a wide variety of issues that is causing your problem: Mods that conflict with each other Mods that are out of date and not updated for the latest alpha version Wrong mod version installation Bad mod installation

Sure, you can use whatever adjective you feel like...but which is the better way of going about it? Option 1 (your way): TFP - your game is terrible unless you input the options I want. I don't care if it isn't in your plan or how much work it takes, but unless you do it, this game is terrible. Or Option 2: Hey TFP, I know you have a lot of work still ahead of you, but would you please look into adding an UI option to remove special zombies for some of us that don't want it? Thanks for listening. Keep up the good work.

Different reactions really. I love how the special zombies up the difficulty as the gamestage progresses. Without them, I can make a base and just sit there all night during the bloodmoon and not worry about them penetrating it. If that was how TFP went, I wouldn’t still be playing this game. And I think calling it terrible is too harsh. Sure, you minght not enjoy it, but there are countless others who are actually looking forward to new specials that MadMole hinted at.

That feature was removed to improve performance. Each zombie body became a loot container so they would stick around for a long time. Removing that feature was amway to reduce performance loss, at least thst is what I recall they said when they made the changes.

I can’t remember how much I paid for this game, but definitely worth it for me also. 2,941 hours on record, easily my #1 game played on steam (#2 is Fallout 4 ar only 1,400 hours). Not getting as many hours right now as I did when A19 was releases, but it is going against MW5 right now and I been a Mechie fan sinces the days of the first one and NetMech.

Hackers don’t break into people’s machines, install cheating software so they can get banned from servers…..they just don’t…….

You bought X. You are not paying rent, so TFP is not obligated to fix the problems of TT’s product. You buy a car from Company A. Company A goes under. Company B buys the rights to use Company A’s trademarks and patents. Company B is not obligated to fix the problems with your car because they purchased those rights.

We get it, you are a disgruntled console player that want TFP to fix TellTale’s game even though TFP are not and never were a console developer/publisher.

It really depends on how they implemented this feature. If the perk just adds bonus damage against wooden blocks, then increasing the HP of the block would balance it out. If it checks to see if the block is wooden and completely destroys it, then that will require a completely different approach. We do know, based on MadMole's comments, that they will be balancing out the durability of the blocks when they introduce the new destruction mechanics. The developers play with everything, not sure where this comment came from or its intent.

My brake on the ground is usually a large boulder, a tree, or a POI 🙂

also make sure everything is plugged in securely. If something is not completely plugged in, like a power cable, that might cause it to power on and off. Check to make sure your fans are running, including the cpu fan - temperatures liike Jugginator suggested are very informative

Sounds more like a hardware issue than a 7D2D issue if your PC is shutting down. I am assuming by update you mean going from 19.4 to 19.5. If you were running 19.4 with no issues, updating to 19.5 wouldn’t all of a sudden cause your PC to crash without an underlying issue. Is your computer shutting down or rebooting or the video going out but the computer is staying on?

Wait, Int builds can’t use shotguns or AKs or pistols? Looks at weapons used during my last horde night……I must be a hacker then. 🤔

I never used it to get the loot off of tall buildings. It was mostly for cities way out there when I wanted to loot a specific POI or going on a trader shopping spree. The ability to take a direct route from one location to another made it easier to travel and quicker overall, rather than trying to go off-roading and avoiding pits and such that would cause me to get stuck, or taking the roads but never in a direct route to my location.

The backstory (from my recollection) is that the Demolishers are a creation of the Duke, or that was the thinking. It has been awhile since that was originally discussed.

Des that mean I am overqualified to run it? 😉

The engineer in me is saying Cool Data!!! The gamer in me is saying, okay.....but which melee weapon do I want to enjoy playing with this playthrough. The gamer always wins for some reason 😁

When I hunt, I make sure I am aware of my surroundings and where the prey is based on landmarks (large rocks, trees, roads, etc.) When I take out the prey (rabbits, chickens, boars, deer, etc), I know where the general vicinity is. Even if I have to dispatch nosy zombies in the area, I am able to find the animal based on the landmarks I used. Using landmarks in the wild is as old as time itself.

I do that (In my current playthrough and my previous playthrough). I was at Day 125 when I got bored with it and restarted over. You can successfully setup a base to do both.
