Even if you made it two high? No, that wouldn't work because you couldn't put an arch there. We need a door/arch combo block. LOL Still, love the new arches. We need an inside arch corner too ... to fill the space if you have arches on all four sides of a block (multiple archways) and want to fill in between them so it doesn't look weird.

enragedcamel Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Real quick: are there plans to bring back jail doors? They were awesome, wish they hadn't been removed. Also, being able to upgrade iron bars to steel bars would be amazing. Hopefully not that hard to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything I'd buff the hunting knife so it is right in the middle of bone knife and machete. I can definitely agree with that decision. The hunting knife right now is fairly weaksauce. Speaking of stealth, right now firearms with a silencer mod attached raise your stealth meter to roughly 90% per shot. What's the point of them then, unless I should report this as a bug?

There was a discussion regarding steel bars that went on somewhere in the A18 dev diary. TFP concluded that adding an extra thousand HP to the current 2,500 (if you upgraded them to steel) wouldn't make any kind of real difference, and anything above that would just make them overpowered.

The problem is that vault doors have a @%$*#!load of hp, and putting iron bars around them (so that you have something to shoot through) makes iron bars the obvious weak point.

Whenever a batch of the undead walk over it, you powered it up and send the zeds falling into a pit of death lined with traps. Then you close the trap (out of sight, out of mind) and rinse and repeat. edit: power it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yopo Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 28 minutes ago, pregnable said: Yeah, I mean part of it is balancing the attributes and exp gain in general. There are a lot of ways to do it. I am not sure where I would put it in other attributes... Strength and Intelligence do not really need it lol. I think In the shadows would be pretty safe though, because the power gaming it would encourage is really exactly what you should be doing as a sneaking agility build. You would be trying to sneak around and get every kill you could with a sneak attack, and you might want to run around at night sneaking to get kills, with the risk vs reward of what might spawn, heh. Plus, then people would get it early and probably sneak attack damage and realize how fun some POIs are and see that a lot of the jump scares will not trigger while you are sneaking. Yeah I get what your saying. Balance definitely ain’t easy. And I know first hand how fun stealth play can be at max. If there was a way to make it appeal more to other while still being balance more ppl would see it’s worth to invest a play into it early on. Just not sure exp is a good way to go about it but also I don’t really have any better ideas atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen plenty of POIs with overlapping volumes, but none that work in the way you have described. What does a sleeper volume group look like in the POI editor? Was there anything added to the POI editor to allow easy grouping of sleeper volumes? Are sleeper volumes assigned to sleeper volume groups in a POI's xml?

Phoenixshade35 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 One thing i think would be nice is if the wooden frame also included ladders and hatches in its block menu, doesnt have to happen of course, but for ease of building it wouldn't be so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenixshade35 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I just had a thought, could be an option for added difficulty should one choose, what if there was an option to toggle horde sense at night, where zombies and some animals that spawn will home in on your general area, would make the night time more interesting thats for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenixshade35 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Another thought, im bad today, i think someone mentioned the traders specializing in stuff for what they sell, would it go something like.... Trader Joel - Jack of all trades, carries a bit of everything, but not as much as a specialist Trader Jenn - More medical supplies and less of everything else Trader Rekt - More Guns and Explosives to Wreck the opponents and not as much of other items Trader Bob - More Building Supplies and Armor than everyone else Trader Billy (Made Up for Billy Bob) - Carries more food than other supplies Trader Cid (Reference to Final Fantasy) - Carries more Parts and Mechanical items than other items Just as a thought but would that be something that could work?

Goncyn Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Are there any plans to expand on the electrical circuit features? It would be cool if you could make a powered door that closes when powered. I want to have a switch that turns on my base defenses and closes the door(s), and you can't open the door again until you turn off the defenses! Also, I was confused by the interaction between generator banks and battery banks. I expected to be able to connect them in series and the generator would strictly charge the batteries while the battery bank supplied power. I realized (after banging my head on some turrets that just wouldn't power on) it doesn't work that way -- if the generator is turned on, it powers the whole circuit, bypassing the batter bank's output. I had a lot more batteries than engines, so I figured I could boost my max power output using the battery while still trickle-charging, but no dice!

This is already a thing, traders have specialties. They're due for an inventory overhaul and it'll probably be more apparent once that's complete.
