Was A21 Dev diary thread and the A21 Overflow thread getting so hot that they had to unpin the overflow one to allow some heat to escape? 😏

Sure for the most part, you are going to be fine. But not always, and players idea of success will be different. I did have a playthrough (back in A20) where I started with a 10 plot potato farm. RNG was not my friend, as it took about 5-6 cycles before I got enough seeds and produce that after replanting 10 seeds, I had extra potatoes. Now this is not normal as I had other times when I got 5+ seeds when I harvested or found a lot of seeds in loot to supplement my crop production. And I know the game was mocking me because my 10 plot Chrysanthemum farm was doing successful (I was drowning in red tea). So technically I eventually got a self sustaining farm in that case by always converting crops into seeds, but I didn't feel it was worth the effort as I went about 15+ days with no potatoes from my crops to turn into food. So now, what I do is plant the seeds I find and harvest them. At LoTL 1 and 2, I just use the crops to expand on my food. At LoTL 3 (if I decide to go that far), I will always maintain max plots by utilizing the seeds I get back, the seeds I find, and convert crops into seeds to get my target. I wait to plant until I get LoTL 1, but that is really for the farm plot cost reduction.

Sounds like you are harvesting wild crops and not player planted crops. LoTL3 will only give you 3 crops (plus chance for a 4th) for anything you come across while exploring.

I do that all the time, backtracking until I find a nice place to hide….though you can’t just run all the way as you are making noise the entire time. Having the books to sneak run and no trash noise helps greatly Current playthrough I am at perk 3 for both hidden strike and shadows

I don’t think gamepass allows experimental versions to be installed, just stable

There is a lot you can do. I removed quest rewards and left those as just dukes. I also removed lower quality gear (so only Q6) and boosted the price. But my thought process was that they are in business so why would they be giving away gear for free? 🤔

It is not wrong. At only LoTL perk 1, you get 4 crops per harvest. At LoTL 2, you get 4 guaranteed with a 50% chance of a fifth crop. At LoTL3, you can 6 guaranteed with a 50% chance of a 7th crop. Each harvest, you have a 50% chance of getting the seed back. Crafting new seeds costs 5 crops. At LoTL 1, it is recommended just to plant seeds you find and don't convert into seeds. You can sustain a farm with some extra crops leftover if you start out with a 10 plot farm and not experienced any bad RNG when harvesting your first few harvests. However, LoTL 1 is not setup for guaranteed sustainable farmer. I am farming at LoTL1, but I am only planting seeds I find while looting right now. Been doing it for several cycles now.

Miner 69 affects all items with the perk perkMiner69r. This includes: All axes All pickaxes All shovels Chainsaw and Auger All repair tools Are you just using power attacks? Even with the reduction, power attacks will drain stamina if that is all you do with it. Power attacks with the Iron pickaxe use 31 stamina (roughly), so a 25% reduction on that (max perk) would mean you are using roughly 23 stamina for each power attack. Regular attacks would be roughly 14 per swing. Also, have you put an ergonomic grip in the pickaxe? That adds an additional stamina reduction.

That's my thought process. Try adding the force probability attribute to your groups and see if that straightens it out.

I tend to clear those out first, so probably wasn't aware they were not counting towards the quest.

Look at the crates as reference: Working stiffs crate <lootgroup name="groupWorkingStiffsCrate" count="all"> <item group="groupWorkingStiffs01" count="1"/> <item group="groupWorkingStiffs02" loot_prob_template="medHigh" force_prob="true"/> <item group="groupWorkingStiffs03" loot_prob_template="low" force_prob="true"/> <item group="groupWorkingStiffs04" loot_prob_template="low" force_prob="true"/> </lootgroup> So when you loot the crate, the following is going to happen: the lootgrooup is set to count="all". This means each group has a chance to spawn something in. groupWorkingStiffs01 is guaranteed to spawn in (no probability set, count="1") groupWorkingStiffs02 is medHigh (63%) groupWorkingStiffs03 and 04 are low (20%)

Yes as it adds assets to the game. This mod needs to be installed on both the server and client computers.

Are you running A21? If so, crafting tiers and recipe unlocks are not part of perks anymore but part of crafting skills

Also, 1 is not a guarantee. prob = # / total. So for RegularPack your probability is 1 / (1+0.15) = 0.87 And look how you set your probability numbers. The regular pack has the prob=1 while the specialized nurse pack is set at 0.15

That's when I give up any pretense of stealth at this point and just unload any and all guns I can into one.

This is probably why I haven't had much of an issue from A20 to A21. I modded A20 to be slower and scrambling for resources.

Are you sure that they are not just zombies that wandered in? I have that happen all the time

I will download it and see if I can help you with some of the issues you been having.

I think it might just be RNG. I checked the files and they don't seem to be more rare than any other candy in the group of 11. Unless the game is not doing a good job of being random which would be a bug then.

I typically have 3 on my tool belt at the beginning until I get T1 firearms. Pistol, shotgun, and the machine gun. And exactly for the reason you stated above. Not to clear out any POIs, but in moments I know my bone or hunting knife won't get me out of trouble.

Please point out where I been hostile to you to warrant that response? I fail to see anything other than I disagreeing with points that people have made. I do see that you quoted me, but only parts of what I said. And when you only quote part, it changes how something appears. What you quoted What you quoted from See how different that is? In this case, you does not mean YOU, it's a general you. So really, who is impugning who?

On my work laptop, I got the config files from A19, A20, and now A21.....so geek away

I get a lot of broken glass when I loot a POI. Some areas you can get it - Open medicine cabinets with glass, decorations on the wall, some of the noise piles on the floor, mirrors Sorry I hit save instead of cancel by mistake. Some windows still give broken glass but not the wooden ones that did in the past. Pictures give wood (and have for some time). Some of the new decorations do break down to glass when you destroy them.

So basically, you want a modlet to remove all existance of firearms and vehicles from the game? Only leaving melee weapons and bows? What about bicycles?

So something I was planning on doing once A21 stable comes out was to incorporate the other recipes in magazine unlocks, including all the mods. So thinking along the same line of thought you had (so scope unlocks tied to rifle crafting and clip extender / drum magazine to assault rifle crafting as an example). I also do another thing that incentives me to move from lower tier gear to higher tier gear is removing mod slots from the lower gear equipment (so T0 has none, T1 is reduced to 2, T2 has 3 slots, and T3/T4 have all 4 slots).
