Occasionally a genuinely new player pops up and it's quite enlightening to see the problems they see Every now and then I'll go into the "popular clips" section to see "the best of the weird stuff" and yes, its fun to watch people discover things in the game for the first time (or carefully crafted bases falling apart). My personal fav: when people eat broken glass for the first time. The look of confusion, the look of surprise, the scream "what the hell. I ate glass?", the frantic attempts to bandage it up (unable to select the bandages, if they have any, as panic is setting in), the disbelief of death. Then usually their friends laughing at them while they sit there dejected. It brings back that fond memory of me doing the same thing And people shooting barrels/stepping on mines blowing themselves up. That never gets old.

Matt115 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I was thinking about zombies and it should be more models of them e.g. doctor, zombie riot , decayed survivor, pilot, infested bandits, mercenary zombie, very weak rotten almost skeleton, cutting in half crawler, infested child , more civilian zombies what do you think about that?

FileMachete Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the more involved player injuries bits don't result in having to allocate more backpack space to medical items than we already do. Or mandate that you always carry food due to healing concerns. Would love to see a 'real' First Aid Kit that would hold various supplies, that could be restocked, and when needed (outside of combat) you'd open it up and use antibiotics or a splint etc. "Immediate Use" items like bandages could still be on hotbar. Comes from thinking about how many healing items Empyrion has now. Way too many imo and they take up too many backpack slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenixshade35 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 One thing down the road i am looking for is linking generators together or being able to repair say a substation to bring power back to a large area, heck id even like to see us being able to build a hydro dam in the water for more seaside bases, i mean we can build an advanced drone so why not larger or more types of generators haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinxar Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hmmm... I remember there were talks in this forum, during A17 iirc, about bringing in a blueprint system. That would allow you to construct entire POIs . I remember referencing games like Space Engineers and Planet Explorers, that have similar features, where you can even build such blueprints, and then share it online. I can't remember where that discussion ended, but it would probably be in 7 Days to die 2 . It would be awesome to have a modular building system like that as well, but it would likely be too much work to implement, or even not possible on this engine. Seems quite difficult to get right, if you consider all the bugs and issues in say Fallout 4 settlement building etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos337 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 @madmole I don't live in the threads and only stop by on occasion to see what kind of work you guys are doing on the new stuff. I noticed your post about how you consider that fact that you are doing a good job based on if a new player can pick it up and hit the ground running (my own words). I can understand your point of view about having players start out for the first time and be able to play without getting overwhelmed. But I disagree about making things easier for them. Its the struggle that ropes people in and causes them to get creative which is in fact the FUN part of this game. The only reasonable solution is a proper tutorial system. Not just craft an Item, place it, upgrade it now go out there and get them zombies. A true tutorial walks a player through every aspect of the game, not just telling them to craft a tool but telling them to press "Tab" to open the menu, Highlighting the toolbar and showing them how to change tabs between inventory, crafting, perks and such, Highlighting the tool that it wants the player to craft, Highlighting the materials to craft it, Exiting the menu, Pop-Up Text that tells how to gather plant fibers and small stones or alternate ways to get wood IE bushes. That's how you help a new player. If there was a tutorial for all the different things that are needed to be done there would be zero need for WiKi, just experience. (Also make a way to opt out of tutorials when starting a new game and just get an intro quest :P) I know you would likely respond with "that's what the journal pages are for" but a new player is already overwhelmed and would likely be more worried about staying alive and not spending too much time in the inventory reading. At any rate I have over 2800 hours played and started just about a month before the launch of A15 so I guess I fall into the catorgory of Backseat Designer, my opinion may not count for much anymore. LOVE the game, LOVE where you guys are taking it! Don't want you to think otherwise from this silly post. ;D P.S. I don't like the A17+ zombie AI lol Not everyone is a structural engineer, and they certainly don't go to school for it after death >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it in the Boe picture: Also, the big yellow rectangle is enclosing bookshelves and a car. Not sure if new bookshelves or a18 bookshelves. They are behind some kind of "store windows", the ones that are used at stores for standard showcasing. EDIT: Bulletproof glass?
