Show me another entity in this industry that uses the term instead for saying something to the effect:

it will be ready in days/weeks/months/years

Being general is fine, I find “When it’s done an incomplete and boarder line trolling answer. The statement offers zero value.

There was an issue with one of the weather values not syncing across the network, which was fixed several months ago (a21).

thanks for the heads up, can't wait for experimental.

I have the solution for the third picture. It is the cast of the series "The Wire". Sounds like we can hide the wires in electrical installations.

good answer, now we wait and see if we can hide wires

I think it is the title of the movie that is important in this instance. Hidden Figures - Figures (the picture below) means that the second word is "Hidden".

 

interesting. a decent call too. but dont see the connection to the first one or the imdb casting pics shot... hidden cast?

They are from the movie "Hidden figures"

thank you for the reference. dont see how nasa fits in. could be something about the intel tree and companions, but not in conjunction with the other clues. unless it's weave, black women, not bodies but head shots, black hair styles coming in

 

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

so a loom or weaving, 3 black women (I recognize them, but can't place them), but not moving + famous actors... new voice actors, or new presets to choose from?

So, Twitchcon is over, some time has passed after that, but where are the DevStreams??  

please be careful saying that around snowdog. we dont need streams of that nature.

Yes, download the server client and steam works(?), port forward and all is fine. Game & server client run on the same machine fine.

I had 32GB of memory, I suspect it would work fine for two players at 16GB.

One important thing that I learned is in the server command box type “shut down” to shut down. Killing it in steam can corrupt the save.

then this is why you dont have the issue. it is not a setting. MM acknowledged the problem months ago. just wondering if they found a fix yet.

Sounds more like a game video setting than a bug.

I run the server client on my machine with 4 to 6 players and that never happens to anyone connected.

so you are running a server, not doing steamplay coop is what you are saying?

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

@Roland Do you know if this issue has been addressed or resolved?

I run a coop server over steam. I am the server, my wife and my friend connect to my system. when the horde comes on the 7th day, they get a little bit of fog, and its gets a little darker. The can see maybe 16 m away. I on the other hand can barely see my feet. the fog is so thick the lantern 4 <meters> blocks away is completely not visible.

 

Same thing with storms and weather effects. the connecting players seem to be doing fine, but the coop server gets blinded with overly heavy visual effects.

Would be great if there was an option to respawn you on the map as a new character, level 1, map shroud/waypoints reset, etc..  That way, you can choose to play the same map, and even reclaim your past survivor's base, loot, etc. if you came upon it.

i would +1 this idea, but only if your dead character is now a super zombie carrying that loot. not just a grave/bag

So slight that we are sure to get frustrated posts that it doesn't seem to be working properly because they're finding more magazines in something they didn't perk into than in the thing they did perk into. But not so slight that we shouldn't ever get any frustrated posts that someone has gone days or weeks without ever finding any of the magazines they perked into. Fun times ahead no doubt =p

RNGesus hates me, I am always one of those people who will perk into something... and not get the books. I am expecting it, so won't post when it happens. just make my wife play so she gets them all

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Ah I see. slightly affects it. hmm, will have to play and see how slight. Thanks for the heads up

 In short, yes.

nani? please explain this more. since when did shotgun perk raise chance to get more magazines? this an a21 thing?

Regarding magazine drop rates, does putting more points into a perk give increased chances compared to only 1 point in the perk? (like 4/5 in shotguns vs 1/5 in shotguns)?

I believe any and all treasure drops affected by perk would all be under lucky looter

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

so, with the removal of secret stash, what is the big payoff for getting better barter? I mean slightly better prices was one thing, but things such as solar panels, solar bank and a few other things from secret stash had prereqs to show only in secret stash with a specific better barter level. will those things now show up in regular trader inventory as long as the BB perk prereq is met? or will BB get a slight reworking as well?

Quite frankly, as all of us have enough to deal with the game tweaks from one Alpha to the next, I'm dismayed by those within the community who like to insist that their interpretation of the 'rules' is superior to my interpretation. And in SP, Ya'll ain't even in my game. Sheesh.

we are with you in spirit, except Snowdog, he is wandering around in his trench flashing the strippers and peeping on you in the bath. he is the reason the magazine pages are sticking together when you find them

making them weak sounds fun. you climb up; zombie pulls a Mortal Kombat's "get over here!" smacks the frame and it all falls down. makeshift pushing the unsteady blocks over scenario

wow, so you are using a known-to-be-cheesy game mechanics exploit to get yourself a resource that you are not supposed to have early game?

You little progression-skipping telephone-pole-nerd-poling steel stealer!

shame on you, nemesis of madmole!!!

@Roland did I just get a new title?

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

i personally wouldn't want to see the end of nerdpoling. I use it to get steel from telephone pole wrenching. now we could use ladders to get up there. but the frames block is glitchy. if you are full and the frame shape isnt on the exact wood block frame shape, it wont pick up the ladder shape. and that gets annoying. I prefer fun to small annoyances. I also use nerd poling while mining to start the main shaft, and at times, yes, that includes within range of a prefab.

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

yeah something to do with trader's increased secret stash?

 

doll arm pointed up, so Increase

the deodorant brand is "Secret"

and consensus agrees last word is stash
