Yep, they seem turbo against LBD for what ever reason. I honestly don't get the hate for it that people have, it just rewards you for having a play style and sticking to it, but I guess filthy casuals that can't make up their mind want to be a jack of all trades master of all, with minimal investment besides instant gratification perk points. Kids these days, they never would have made it in the days of Oblivion and earlier RPGs Just from the way Madmole has described it, it sounds like your skill in crafting goes up by looting books, but there being so many crafting levels makes me think you probably can assign points to various crafting trees, and the points probably come from finding books. Like you read a book and get 10 crafting points you can then allocate to shotguns, tools, armor etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you can reward players with skill books for doing quests, which is a great incentive. The crafting increments will also keep us desiring better gear and the hands-on mechanic of making it ourselves is cool. It's hard balance work , but everything is already there in the code so it's just patching, implementing, tweaking and trying. I have to ask, will you guys simultaneously add armours with legendary effects for weapons or are you holding off on the latter ? a21 seems crazy already, and it hasn't even taken form yet. You.... are... yeah... you called quite a bit of screamers. I'm day 24 120 min days and I'm still on lvl 64. No more than a couple screamers called, so that must be it. You mad lad. screamers can be good but when you have a higher game stage lets say you farm them things can get out of control fast for example in a19 i was intentionally using an auger to destroy a building to build up the heat map she creamed a few times called in more screamers and spawned too many radiated which were consisting of normal zombies but then the Wight's cops and bikers which those guys are nasty in groups and i almost died.

Just go back up and refill the drum mags on your turrets every once in a while and collect all the loot bags, and go back to your mineshaft.

Associated books and schematics might add to it when read, and probably the introduction of "technical journals" or something you find and read to add to the skill. Higher intellect might give you +2 or something instead of +1. Something we can control in loot so players don't get too powerful too soon, (No spam crafting) and skill system to where its easier to craft a blue stone axe than a blue steel axe. We're not. It's more like learn by looting lol. No because you can put a land claim down, place your work benches use them, then pick them back up again. Still easy to be a nomad. With vehicles and drones to carry loot around I don't see a problem taking workbenches with you everywhere and setting up quick/temp anywhere. 4 hours ago, madmole said: Nothing is finalized, but we're talking about a crafting skill for every item in the game.

Kind of like IRL, you read, you learn, you go do and get better. Thanks Pimps for working hard on this game. I absolutely love the new update. (P.s. Please don’t make us all wear the same outfits when the clothing/armor updates arrive.) Happy HO-lidays, Pimps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weazelsun Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hm... one of the options I would like to see with the drone is a follow distance. Right now, there are times where the drone gets up right into you face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mine at night with feral senses on for extra exp I just crouch so they don't hear me mining and I'm fine. Every once in a while you get some jerks visiting, but once you get deep enough down it's fine. I usually ignore them anyway and clear the lot of them when I come up at sunrise.

bachgaman Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Found some bugs in interaction with onjects in MP. 1. An attempt to drive someone else's locked bicycle leads to its repair, if there is a repair kit. 2. You can block any open container set by another player. But only the owner can unlock. Cop uses old model after self-detonation. Not bug, just interesting Spoiler Just fancy rwg Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generris Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I'm a complete noob still getting used to the game, but is mandatory skill point allocation the only consistent way to get a workbench? Because if so, that's pretty bad design. All of your free points just go into the workbench, so what's the point? Might as well just give everyone the workbench from the beginning and not bother letting them think they just got some useful skill points...

I think the design is good because you must do something before getting the workbench. If you would be able to have a workbench very early game that would be OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in as normal, far as I can tell. Zoom your map all the way in and look for a white 2x2 pixel square. That's a nitrate bloom. Dig straight down from the bloom on the surface and you'll usually find a decent size vein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are more prominent in snow biome, iirc. Just walk around and look for a nitrate block on the surface, and then start mining down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would zombie respawn even natter? I like to go back into looted POI's eventually and wrench everything apart, so having no zombies means I won't have any risk of getting a bunch of resources. But also, my Resident Evil mod requires you to go back and forth, and I want respawns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you get work benches by buying them, finding the magazine that teaches you to build it, being given one for free by the trader, OR by using the perk points to unlock it. Just go do quests and you will be handed one by the trader at like trader level 2. By the time you even need a workbench the trader should have given you one for free or offered one for sale. I haven't wasted points on a work bench in like 2+ alpha now, there's no way I'd even find the parts to craft one before I'd already just bought one or been given one by the trader. The hammer alone took me way longer than the trader reward workbench did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull up your map, zoom in, and look for the little white squares. Those are nitrate deposits. Red is Iron, Blue is lead, and Black is coal. Easy peasy.
