I assume BFT has fun modding, so naturally he spends a lot of time modding. And he may have modded for a 1000 hours, but surely not all of that on one issue like making weapons unrepairable, give him some credit please 😁
No, I am actually chained up to a chair and there is this big burly guy with a livestock prodder behind me motivating me to keep working on mods. These posts are them being "nice" to me and giving me breaks 😏
I was about to say 1000 hours seems too much, then realized once you take into things like creating and testing modlets for others and rewriting old code to make it more efficient, I probably have broken the 1000 hour mark already.

okay and the other is a quest.xml?
Think I'll just wait till OP adds it to the official file, my luck I'll mess something up
I can create a small modlet to add that as an option. I never thought of asking Izayo if he wanted them as a quest reward option when I was helping him with traders and loot drops.

I think it is tied to the decoration in the biomes file
<decoration type="prefab" name="deco_shale_vein" checkresource="-7" onslopes="true" prob=".00657" rotatemax="3"/>
Try removing that and see if that removes the "rock" indication where the resource is. Each biomes has a specific group for the resources and each resource has a specific deco for that resource.
Code could look something like
<remove xpath="//decoration[@name='deco_shale_vein']"/>
That should remove all deco_shale_vein regardless of which biome it is in. You would do the same thing with the other unique prefabs to get the other resource nodes.

What you said sounds correct. WHile waiting for a more experienced person to chime in, I'd try it. Worst case scenario it doesn't work and you saved time by already creating the infos and blocks.
Yeah that was what I was thinking. Also I learned a lot just trying things out first.

Are you running with EAC off? That might be a requirement for the mod.

Is the quest suppose to spawn something at that location like the buried supply quests? I see you have it creating a quest marker at said location, but the rest of the quest is just to find the items and then craft something from it. If you are needing something to spawn in there, the buried supply quests have that part of it in a different area for those quests:
<objective type="TreasureChest"> <property name="phase" value="3" /> <property name="block" value="cntBuriedFoodStashChest" param1="container"/> <property name="default_radius" value="5" param1="radius"/> <property name="container_type" value="Supplies"/> <property name="nav_object" value="treasure" /> <property name="direct_nav_object" value="treasure_direct" /> <property name="blocks_per_reduction" value="10" /> <property name="radius_reduction_sound" value="ui_radius_shrink" /> <property name="use_nearby" value="true" /> <property name="explosion_event" value="quest_treasure_explosion_horde" /> </objective>

I picked option 1, but take it with a huge grain of salt. I would also put blocks down for items that were on stop of things I would harvesting so it wasn't floating anymore in the air....all because it wasn't realistic looking even though I would more than unlikely not enter that POI again unless I get a repeat mission 😏

I answered #1 but should be taken with a grain of salt as I also mod the game to remove the ability to repair. I have to craft in order to keep working gear to use, so that is where my priority comes from in regards to crafting gear.

I wonder if some of the zombie triggers happen because they design the POI first and assign a level, then try to fill it with the required zombies to meet the tier designation. So bigger POIs don't have that issue as they can spread them out further, but ones with a smaller footprint, they have to be creative to get those zombie counts up.

My playstyle is as normal as everyone else's. Everyone says their playstyle is normal. So "normal" is meaningless in this context.
I gladly say that my playstyle is nowhere near "normal". 😏

Item bundles are great, they open up so many possibilities.

Hoping sometbody out there can help with the for dummies version of how to edit a mod config file. In particular, I downloaded a mod to increase item mod slots to match quality. While I appreciate legendary (tier 6) having 6 mods slots, I was looking to adjust it down a notch, as I was mostly wanting the mod to have items display a consistent # of slots per item tier. Getting tier 5 with 3 slots or getting tier 3 with 4 slots is just wierd to me.
Also, I downloaded a craft from containers mod, the only issue I have is it has an excessive range. My horde base is 200 metres away (approx) and I can pull resources from home to upgrade or repair.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
This will probably get migrated to Discussion and Requests in the modding section, but to answer the first part
<effect_group name="meleeWpnSpearT0StoneSpear"> <passive_effect name="ModSlots" operation="base_set" value="1,1,1,2,2,3" tier="1,2,3,4,5,6"/> </effect_group>
What you will be looking for is any code that modifies the number of ModSlots. Using the stone spear as an example (and setting T0 gear to 1 slot only), you would need to have the code change value from 1,1,1,2,2,3 to 1,6 and tier to 1,1. You can also just leave tier alone and change value to 1,1,1,1,1,1. After those changes the stone spear would only have 1 slot regardless of quality level.

How to report an issue.
You should get paid for every post that you make with this link 😏

So I got this idea bouncing around in my head since A20, but haven't looked hard into it yet (did some preliminary research but nothing jumped out so far).
I want to setup my game where the traders restock their vending machines on a different frequency than the ones out in the wild. For that, I know that I just need to create two new vending machine trader_infos (say 11 and 12) with a different restocking value. Then create two new blocks (copy the ones for drinks and food in the game already but with an unique block name for them) in the blocks.xml file and assign my new groups for them (#11 and #12). At that point, I would need to go into the POI editor for the trader POIs and change the default blocks now to my new vending machine blocks?
I've only done XML editing so far, so this will be something new for me.

A stronger VOTE.
A vote is still essentially an opinion, no?
"stronger", in the sense of "I think they actually might mean it."
The concept is the same as in "Watch what they do, not what they say." With possibly a less negative connotation.
Are you a politician in real life? 😏
Not necessary, I have opinions on things, but doesn't mean I would vote for it.

Water drains about 40/hour (based on the notes in the file). That is your basic drain even if you are standing still. You also took steroids, fort bites, and recog which also drain water over time.

Yeah, I recall for years Joel being extremely adamant about the visibility of the wires, and how it was part of the look and feel of the game. He probably even mentioned a few times that it wasn't something they would change. So imagine my surprise when now they are invisible.
IMHO, something like this could be an option. However on a similar note, too many options just muddles the settings. As easy as the game is to mod, I would hope this could be something as simple as a flag in the xml.
I don't mind losing the visible wires, but I did check the xml files this morning to see if I could find the flag. No luck so far, but I will keep an eye out for it. Someone else might already being making a mod for it.

Indeed, one could even argue that the fact of you modding the game is a much, much stronger vote for something being wrong in the game than anything I have or will write on this forum.
Not really, it just means I am different. Take for example trader rewards on quest completion. I don't like that, so I modded it out so you only get dukes (and Daring Adventure now just boosts more dukes rather than getting two choices at max perk level). There is nothing wrong with quest rewards as a ton of games out there do it, I just don't like its current configuration so I changed it to my vision / desires.
Though talking about it does give others ideas, maybe even developers who take what others are doing and applying / fixing / modifying it to work in the base game or decide, nah, does not fit their vision.

You said level 150, did you increase your crafting skill for knuckle weapons to 150 via the crafting magazines?

Typically once they are spawn in, they don't change. Your logfile would tell you what was spawned in at that point.

Entitygroups has been changed and the old code doesn't work anymore. Go to the tutorial section in mods and look at the xpath one. The changes required should be near the end of that thread

FYI, one generator can also be used to power up multiple battery banks. I used that before when I didn't have solar panels but plenty of batteries and banks. Fuel consumption is very low since you only need one motor. Only downside is having to constantly switch out full batteries for the dead batteries.

These are the same picture? "I use what I have available" - isn't the better thing you told 'me' to scrap the very thing I have available?
I don't get hung up on where a particular piece of gear comes from, I'll use the best I have available. If I get a sidegrade but see green texts in comparison, I do swap over my mods. That's barely a difference between us.
But I'd also like to know what the plans are for crafting; atm I'm thinking I might do my first gameplay-mod for myself, which would be to swap each and every crafting magazine into a stack of 20 bucks worth of Old Cash, as that's what the mags sell for and it'd be a massive inventory headache to carry them around.
If crafting "barely keeps up with other sources" and "has no purpose in game other than one-and-done upgrades", I might save myself the time of pointlessly clicking "read" 500 times each game.
Might have to leave cook books in, but that's the only one that actually feels like it's working right.
The best thing available will mean either that half damaged shotgun I find while looting or crafting my own pristine weapon to use. Remember, we already establish that I don't play vanilla 7D2D as a normal player so my play is eccentric to what I like. I can't repair armor, tools, and weapons I find or craft. So use that half damage shotgun until it breaks or nearly breaks, scrap it down, and then use the parts to craft a new one.
So for me, crafting never becomes obsolete as I never in a situation of one and done upgrades.

Yeh, I got that. Might be simple enough to just xpath it into a game (quest reward lists and inventory lists, seek and destroy) and not have to pretend.
It might be for a good reason, but the act itself is still stupid
Part of it is really just how one approaches the game itself. For you (this is based on what I have perceived in this discussion with you and I may be way off), if you receive an item that is better than what you are currently using you want to use it right away regardless of where it comes from. For me when I play, I don't get hung up on that, I use what I have available and go with the flow.
But I also never compare same Q6 weapons to see which one has the higher stats. I just grab it and go, using it in vanilla until the end of the game. But I know others when they get a new Q6 M60, they want to compare the stats and see if the new one is better than their current Q6 M60. Neither playstyle is wrong, it is just what you want to do as the player that matters.

Traders and quests need to be nerfed

so shovels......
Just a random thought from my brain - why not have distinctions between the quality levels, not simply an universal increase on all characteristics.....
maybe something like Q1 - baseline, Q2 - buff to block damage, Q3 - same damage as Q2 but a buff to durability and stamina usage, Q4 - same as Q3 but buffed block damage, Q5 - same as Q4 but with buffs to durability and stamina usage, Q6 - buff to all critical attributes
So pulling out the logic from my brain:
Just something I thought of while you guys were discussing shovels
