Annihilatorza 45 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 6 hours ago, Damocles said: If a certain percentage, lets say 30%, of the zombies would not use the pathing, but try to use the direct way to the player and beat on anything in the way, this would reduce the effectiveness of lots of those path-exploit bases. (bases with low material investment) The player would have to fear that those direct-walking zombies break the pillars for example. If they are standing under the player, who is on a floating flatform, they could look for any nearby load-bearing blocks, and start beating on them. I agree with that so much, I watched the latest Killing corridor trick and its not fun for me to play the game in that fashion. What is the point if the zombies can never get to you, if you just want to play creative turn them off in your world options. Maybe the AI could do a detection If Player is at more than 2 open spaces away, then destroy all blocks to get to player and dont fall down the hole and do the loop. Or if they get to a point where they simply cant reach the player, they attack everything to get at the player. So they stop running and go into a frenzy mode from the frustration that they cant eat their quota of brains and attack all the blocks around them. I fully get and understand that people will always try and exploit and break the games mechanics but this is way to easy to build. Link to post Share on other sites
Damocles 256 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Another method would be to detect bad paths by recording the success of a path. If a calculated path cannot be traversed by several zombies, the part of the path that fails to work (zombies fall down or get killed), is discouraged (gets a higher cost). The next path search could then try to find a better (longer) path. Or switch the zombies to block-destroy behavior when near the part that failed to work. That type of logic is only really needed during the horde night. Not so much when raiding a POI. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Future world problems eh, I haven`t found Trader Jen yet. Just kiss it or move on. On the serious matter, it is part of the new survival system, it was really too easy to go away with some broken leg and splint it just like that. We should learn to protect our bodies (with not only armor), and be agile and thoughtful enough, to not do stupid things and think we will go away easy with them anymore. Adapt and survive, and it`s gonna get better, sir. Link to post Share on other sites

Jay_ombie 45 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 How does Blood moon and dying work again ? (day 14) I died about 10 mins into BM re-spawned close on my bed but outside I found not a single zombie. I even went out way far from my base actually on a treasure quest (as you do - haha) whilst BM still was active but found no zombies anywhere to agro. Link to post Share on other sites

What it does is give the game the perception to someone flipping channels is that this game is ugly/washed out. So we make it so they can see, and hopefully don't change the gamma in a way that is super destructive. This could change (its changed every alpha so far to some degree lol). Coding the game around streaming is a mistake imo. Just giving them the new brightness vs gamma adjustment type solved that problem. The default light level did not need to change also.

Khalagar 229 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'm like 400 posts behind, but has anyone encountered this? I can't modify my Wrench to get my mods off it, the "Modify" button is totally missing I think it has something to do with me making a Workbench and it using a different wrench in my inventory, but it broke my actual wrench. I tried dropping it, equipping it, putting it in a box etc, but the wrench was FUBAR. Only way I got mods off it was by handing it to my friend and he was able to take the mods off after he equipped it Link to post Share on other sites

Repairing it doesn't seem to be an issue I wouldn't think. It seems that perhaps the game occasionally decides whether the wrench is modifiable or not... for whatever reason. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hence why I don't do multiplayer, especially "unorganized multiplayer" (usually in the form of a server) where I log off for about a day and suddenly everyone is miles ahead of what we were before because there's always one or two people who play a lot more than others.
