Roland Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 thought this was a forum to discuss A18 not pitch a pyramid scheme about zombie mechs and such.... Whatcha got regarding A18? I'll discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanimal Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 ....or a really mediocre tween movie... Ha, it sure would. I don't do fiction though, the things I draw come true. But I'm done, poor Munchie can't scroll fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorMunchy Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Whatcha got regarding A18? I'll discuss. ooo let us talk about how in A18 I heard there was a drop from Demolition zombies that if you hit them in the sweet spot with a rock they explode into diamonds you can pick up? This could be factual to the point that MM secretly calls them " alchemists" and not demolishers thus making rock into diamond realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanimal Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 first thing to pop in my mind before clicking the link LOL oh god, that was so impossible to watch, real ♥♥♥♥ show that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TundraWolf42 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 20 MF's its not looking too good. We'll make the official decision tomorrow. MP and RWG stuff mostly. Junk turrets disappear of a dead body dies by it, which really sucks. Thrown spears against rage zombies goes right through them, another can't ship bug. Good thing I'm doing INT Perception build. RWG 8k won't work on radeon. Some RWG maps have no trader at all, towns spawning in rad zones. We'll get it, but its too much on one guy right now. 15% this Friday chance IMO, 90% chance for Oct 4. I sure could use a couple more weeks to polish perception/intellect too. As much as I am having fun I'd like those builds to have my stamp of approval too. No idea if they are horde viable. As you have said before "it takes as long as it takes". I say take as much time as needed, sure I would like it to be released this friday, but what ever you decide I will be happy with it.

The only difference might be a higher percent chance to drop one. It might be interesting to have them drop a different type of bag with its own loot group so that diamonds could be part of the drop.

I would love to have zombies each have their own loot table. yes redundant fluff but demos could have a chance to drops dynamite or something, football dudes football helms and cops could drop magnums etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanimal Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Whatcha got regarding A18? I'll discuss. I for one am eager to play with the new electric drawbridges and doors, finally having them in the right proportion is also exciting, a true gift to base design. Think we're just stretching thin now while we wait, we have covered so many things in depth already. Glad the MF list keeps shrinking, Friday may be a long shot, but merely being that close is exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was in place at some point. I hope they not only bring that back but also increase the ratio of bag drops, one of the mods I played did that and it greatly eased the pain of losing Z loot from A16.

SnowDog1942 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Anyone wanna talk about farming....? Im farming Nagas in South Shore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorMunchy Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 sure. where i live its rained so much crop insurance pay outs are through the roof and yields for soybeans are down 10% due to the fact that the prices are not even reflecting it so being a farmer atm kind of sucks. OH but everything would be solved if the farmers in my area still had hoes to use....was a bad idea for the farmers almanac to get rid of hoes and go to a grid like system where we dont use a hoe anymore...

Hek Harris Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Anyone wanna talk about farming....? Easy : first thing you have to do is burn a hoe. Then go to your favorite market and buy some potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanimal Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Anyone wanna talk about farming....? Since the new plots are their own block what kind of SI stats do they have? For example, how far out could I make a garden terrace off the side of a building out of just those blocks before my precious garden succumbed to gravity...

I hope they not only bring that back but also increase the ratio of bag drops, one of the mods I played did that and it greatly eased the pain of losing Z loot from A16. When they stopped doing that I stopped looking for certain zombies and choosing to stop what I was doing for certain types whilst mostly avoiding others. I miss that. Perhaps the new encounters can reinstate increased chance of certain loot types from certain zombies...we can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, yes I imagine we are going to see all kinds of new and elaborate dynamic tower defense style setups being tried out, especially by youtubers like JaWoodle and Cap00. They both make tons of vids experimenting with game mechanics like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdunham3 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Unrelated to farming...Madmole, when you said you aren't done with food yet, will there be a way to turn sham into shamwiches so we can make more sham chowder? Or direct recipe to use sham in the creation of sham chowder, bypassing the sandwich step entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odetta Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'll need real game play footage to get on that hype train. Like most sci fi game resort to some vibrant mushroom world (Morrowind), Outer Worlds, and that crap just turns me off. I prefer a nasty scary desolate universe like Aliens. Even doom 3 had a good vibe and art style there. Don't get me wrong, I'll probably play outer worlds, but all the neon color I don't care for, feels artificial. I didn't have any idea what fallout was about though and previews of it looked kinda corny to me, but once I played the familiar Bethesda game mechanics I liked it a lot, so I expect the same with Starfield. Half life 2 had pretty good alien design too, I liked how grounded it felt. Most space games go nuts with color. Like if they are inspired by Star Wars I'd be pretty happy too. Ok Madmole, Todd Howard calls you up and says, "Hey Joel, I love your zumbie game and would love for you to design the next Fallout! Can you give me something right now to pitch to the guys?" If you got the reins how would design the next Fallout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The randomness Faatal has introduced into a18 AI pathing is, if I understand correctly directly intended to counter this. Some zombies will ignore easy and simply pound their way through instead. Others will try to figure out how you got to where you are (breadcrumbs) and attempt to follow. With some being leapers now that might just mess with the cheesers enough...nah...

I have my own set of tricks I use, especially on my suspended box design. I love the cheese as much as my fellow red-(cholesterol-)blooded Americans. Edit: I became curious after this post and started researching annual cheese consumption per capita. Boy did I think we'd be much closer to the top! Round of cheese to the room on me for making asses out of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Madmole, any news on this ? Did the team make a responce why we havent this ? Hi Sam_Neil, This well is known in the prefabbing world. We have this stuff and easy to do only with the in-game tools. Just ask a prefabber on Guppycur Discord how to do it. No magic behind it. Nevertheless I’d love to see a proper documentation for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really hoping that this is MM downplaying the hype and that the team pulls it off for this weekend. But seriously I know you all will present the best game possible for the release of A18. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
