I love castles that have various heights of towers and asymmetrical designs. Nice job! Thank you. I'm having a lot of fun with some of the shapes. I agree this castle looks better than the last one. I think by developing the surrounding area too it made it stand out. I can't believe it's the Navezgane corn field. I think the tree's transformed the setting for it and the barn really adds to the overall look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 On the military armor parts...I agree. We save all of our ‘parts’ in a parts box, rarely using any since we just buy the armor and weapons or just find them. We always have between 2 and 4 times as many armor parts than any other armor or weapon parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I like that finding the same tools etc. can have different specs. What I don't understand is, how a lvl 1 wrench can have better specs then a lvl 2 one (except for durability). The specs of a certain lvl has to be between 2 values, but they shouldn't be worse then the lvl below it, or higher then the lvl above it. As an example, if you find a lvl 1 wrench, let's say the block damage can be between 30 and 40. If you would find a lvl 2, the block damage shouldn't be able to be lower then 40.

I know you are super defensive over any kind of criticism especially when asked legitimate questions that have some criticism in it. Intellect needs a starter weapon of some kind, but it has a lot of good stuff. It is my favorite attribute atm. It is really all about that robotic sledge though, if you have not tried 2 of them yet, lol. They are so amazing. 50% extra steel and 25% extra concrete is not bad either if you max out advanced engineering, if you are a builder. Charismatic nature needs a change, it is either useless or super OP. Daring adventurer is okay, but probably overkill with barter maxed and not really worth it. Med skills are not bad for extra healing and I think are the only way to craft some of those buff items. Seriously though, a fully modded out robotic sledge is the difference between intel being meh or great. Try it if you have not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that convincing enough for you? Just because you put points into stealth it doesn't ban you from using anything other than stealth things. You can put exactly 0 points into any other weapon and be able to use and kill stuff with it (and 1 point, which you can do at any level, will improve it obviously). If you're hardcore roleplaying Robin Hood + Splinter Cell then that's your own gimp lol. Just as well, if you trigger sleepers, your bow isn't useless if you be agile and utilize hit and run tactics / kite them around. Stealth doesn't have to mean you're Sam Fisher, it just reduces the noise you make and light you project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we forget the world is still made with 1m x 1m blocks and the circle is tangent to the block under which you can see the buried treasure, so... Oh, I forgot to add... and stealth is perfectly working! Technically if the chest is on the edge of the circle And you want to count that as being included then the line should be solid and not dashed. Immersion blown.

This was already discussed in the previous alpha when it was applied. It will not be modified just because you do not want to look a little more to find a better key than the two you already have. If you really rely on that. Otherwise, if you have a lot of repair kits, you can keep the lvl 1 one, if not opt for the lvl 2 one which will last a little longer. -Cheers and I hope I didn't sound rude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a higher lvl item should always have higher or at least the same lvl of dmg then a lower lvl. And I can't remember having this with A18.

wolfbain5 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 @madmole question, why does the smoothie... made with ice... give hypothermal resist <resistance to cold>, instead of hyperthermal resist <resistance to heat>? we have coffee to resist cold with. edit: yucca juice used to give some heat resistance buff, but not anymore, so we have no foods to help with heat, but stews and coffee to fight the cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth doesn't have to mean you're Sam Fisher, it just reduces the noise you make and light you project. Jugg, I think you missed the point on this. Currently, the Core of the build (Stealth) can be nullified, and is currently the only Core build that can be nullified. (thus, the only Core build that you get forced to use aspects of another build) Granted, during Blood Moon this makes sense, given the nature of Blood Moon. And it's not so much that there exists situations where Stealth can't be used, it makes sense to have some at least. It's more that those situations seem to be increasing. If it gets to the point where it's useful occasionally, then it's not useful and not viable as a Core build. (Not that anyone would, but...) Play a SP game and make Charismatic Nature the Core of your build... Points well spent! In this whole thing, I'm not talking about it as if there were only a couple points spent in Stealth, but more like: 5/5 Stealth, all Padded armor, each piece has Adv. Muffled Connectors, and most of the Nightstalker/Urban Combat books learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only what I answered, is the answer why your level 2 is worse than 1. They are random specifications so that you never stop looking for something better, it is a way to encourage you not to stay with what you can manufacture. From that branch came down what we can only craft up to a maximum level 5 and 6 you must find it. We say again about "Get out, loot, don't keep digging in the bottom" Apart from the satisfaction of finding better statistics and higher levels, more applicable mods. And yes, it was implemented in alpha 18 with weapons and tools. I will not answer more because it is an old issue and another alpha.

The pistols, especially the Desert Vulture, are so good I don't see why you think you are forced to use aspects of another build. INT on the other hand does rely on using guns from other builds and that is its most powerful feature. That stealth may be too perk-expensive is something I could agree with.

I do not think most people really have a problem with stealth. Stealth works fine if you accept that scripted aggro in POIs is intended. The problem is that "from the shadows" does not really do much of anything. I can do stealth just fine on a strength build with a shotgun. So if you pump hidden strike and from the shadows, as I did at the start of my agility build, you quickly realize that most of the time you are just a guy with a level 1 bow and those points were wasted, heh. Parkour, pistols, bows and run and gun are all pretty great though, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are still more bugs in A19 that actually make stealth too easy in several situations. When I'm criticizing how stealth works in A19 at least I try to be fair, I ask they fix both exploits that give advantages to us and loopholes that make stealth unusable.
