Hello All,
Last week, I finished the 4 unit apartment building I mentioned in my last post. It will be a T2 questable POI in the country residential district.
I have started work on a new cave POI but still in the early planning phase. I am hoping to come up with a t3 or higher design. Will see where things end up.
mining cave system, or animal den cave system with bears and wolves or mountain lions and perhaps a few pit traps with spikes that are covered and fall into?
or perhaps an abandoned resource mine that go converted into a survivalists bunker before the bombs dropped. brought his family in and still got infected?

The augur value is with non-strength players who can't max out mining skills.
auger is controlled by the same stat as the rest of the mining tools. it isnt under a different tree

on the auger for any future updates.
with maxed mining skills, the steel pick axe out strips the auger making it irrelevant
used to be, having the full set of mining books, you had a 10% chance to 1 shot ores and stone blocks. that made the auger with its high hit speed but low damage value out mine pick axes. but the current way it is, I can 1 shot stone, gravel, coal, shale, and nitrate and 2 shot iron and lead with a steel pick axe, but takes 4 hits to take out stone, and 6 to take out the others with the auger. This drastically slows down mining, wastes gas, and is so far noisier than any other method of mining. It makes the auger for practical purposes obsolete.
with auger supposedly meant to be the top end mining tool, the current abilities and costs make it only better than stone tools. I am not sure how to make it the top end with fuel costs, low block damage and heat accumulation, but I do think this is something that needs to be addressed going forward.
these numbers are tested on a t5 quality steel pick axe vs a t5 quality auger. both with bunker buster, iron breaker, and grave digger mods installed.

t1 of the next tier of almost any weapon/tool/armor will always be worse than a t5 of the previous. they need to be staggered better.
pistols as an example
pipe pistol t1,t2,t3, 9mm pistol t1, pipe t4, 9mm t2,... etc would make for better mix and balancing

use a repair tool like a hammer or stone axe. a wrench is a salvage tool.

for those who have visual problems like I do or just cant differentiate the desert sandstone from the sand,
<set xpath="/blocks/block[@name='terrSandStone']/property[@name='Texture']/@value">1</set>this will make sandstone look like regular stone

It has to equal 100% though... 60% of the map you want won't have a biome?
yes I know it needs 100%. you didnt add very well did you. the current map with in game settings only went to 99 and not to 10% each... to the 10's% you are better than this Dwall

Can we get these set to accept text in the number section instead of just the clunky arrows. Trying to get biome placements to the 10's % for any of them is rather cumbersome in its current form

That's good to hear, I am receiving reports from players in discord saying that they are finding tons of empty book stands and book piles after completing magazine collections. they are most likely using mods as well. As long as the possibility remains, thats all that matters. I am barely looking into that aspect. I want to get a feel for vanilla before modding to seriously

please set the last rank of any skill magazine back to default instead of 0 for those in mp games can share them.

will we ever be able to modify the smg and shotgun turrets? Think it would be fun if we could add some of the gun mods to them, or even just swap out ammo types.

have we broken the record for longest alpha yet?

100% wasteland, now there's a challenge
did that, but zombie bears every night blew all my ammo before I ever got to horde night. also because of spawn rules, made it very hard to get any meat

Uhh? I was assuming you were joking when you said something about me saying something yesterday about the alpha release. If that was serious, please show me a link where I said that.
yes, i was teasing you, cause saying yes or no to the question they asked woulda been the same.

well, this happened around halloween supposedly from back stories around a9 time. so football season, depending on the time of day, how many high school, college, pro and semi pro games happen at that time and what are they wearing, including fans?
