Reading magazines makes a bark-like sound too, I don't get it.

the bark-like sound : "Keeping our awareness up, since its in"

A quick comment on too much ammo early days. IMO, I can imagine with the new pipe weapons coming and using shotgun shells ect, the abundant ammo will sort itself out. If an inferior weapon uses the same ammo as an higher tier weapon, you will use more ammo up. Hence you will have the choice, use ammo in your day to day life, or save it. (I always save ammo for day 7's) I think what the game gives now, will be fine going forward.

 

Still loving alpha 19. Huge thumbs up 😉 Wife is on her 6th death haha... she hates tfp now 😅🤣in a good way though!

Nice castle avatar!

So the mini bike is probably going to be my sole ride for this play though things being so rare on 25% loot. It got me thinking cause I know TFP l loves those hard choices.

 

I was forced to buy the mini bike and if I didn't I'd likely made it once I found the parts cause steel is gated in my case. The chance of me finding a crucible is extremely slim. So hard choice. Because the mini bike is of a lower quality design then the motorbike and you are just getting into this skill set the mini bike should show lower quality.

 

It should be louder, backfire randomly, and the backfire should attract zombies. Also should be more prone to breaking down. 1. it would be funny 2. encourage you to upgrade 3. consequence for your choice

 

Stay with the bike till you can afford the motorcycle being silent but high stamina cost or going with the mini bike but loud?

It's small and really quick to clear so his playful grump (especially since it was in reference to Dishong Tower which got its name from another of the developers) is understandable.

Don't forget to spawn Trader Rekt at the top and add the letters "Knuckle Rub" underneath...🤣

Lathan's hardware has a lot of charm though...lol

 I'm camped out for the night in a little hidey hut next to a trader, a zombie dog pack spawned to run in my direction but it sounds like they spawned inside of the trader at night as all I hear is their attacks followed by ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.

I was thinking of using a new avatar, but what I had in mind wont fit, in fact I have the problem a lot.

Awesome, be sure to share the link here. I'm building a pretty large castle in my current play through but it nowhere near done yet, but I finally have 4 walls and all the outer towers built. Hopefully I can move in soon

Hey when are doors going to be lockpickable? It might be a bit strong but atleast "normal" doors should be lockpickable.

All I can hear is Trader Rekt going, "Don't leave a mess on my front lawn!" 😜

Hey Madmole can you do that for us? Please?

And about doors, can you add more doors for deco purposes? Live double doors, glass doors and more decorative stuff?

I'm pretty sure madmole stated that having lockpicks work on locked doors is not going to happen, for PVP reasons and because opening a locked door would just make it easier for players to go off the intended path in a dungeon.

Keep in mind most of the PoIs have easily breakable wooden walls. You would also be sacrificing lockpicks to JUST get through 1 door. About the pvp part, i'm talking about the non-craftable doors, and if that's still a problem, land claim blocks are a thing.

 

EDIT: Oh and there's no anti-nerdpolling in the game.

I see, thats sad. Well... stealth is broken anyway, I can still destroy the door with my auger and the sleepers wont will come until I enter into the room. 😏😏

There's also plenty of POI's that have locked vault doors. There's a reason for their existence: other than immersion (why wouldn't there be a door into x room?), they're there to deter people from going that unintended route and continue along to follow the lights. Of course though this is a fully destructible environment, you can do what you want, but you get what I mean.

That's why i stated "normal" doors

Yeah, and crouching down causes the auger to make less noise, because that makes complete sense. 😂
