zztong Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Quote Wall Volumes for level design to block areas they don’t want the player to move to What is a Wall Volume? I mean, is it something you create in the Prefab Editor, like a Zombie Volume, is it a block, or what? Quote Info Volumes for Entering POI Message System Does this display some kind of message upon entry? "The corpse you see here has been eaten by a lurking Grue..." Quote Volume tab to Level Design Tab Is this a way to manage all of these volumes, including the zombie volumes, without having to arrange an elaborate way to click on one that is inside a wall? (Please? Please? Please?) I assume it doesn't relate to sound volume... or did we get the ability to place sounds?

So the intended use is with Traders. I was thinking general POIs and wasn't sure an indestructible wall was a good idea. Quote Sleeper volume counts allow decimal scaling What's this mean? What comes to mind is when you say a sleeper volume can have 4-5 zombies, but saying 4.3-5.5 zombies doesn't make sense. Quote Adjusted Grace’s attack range/damage, health and experience Grace now fires laser beams out of her eyes at people who attempt to kill her from the ledge above her encounter area.

I'm fine with indestructible blocks but if there is an opening, I see no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to pass through. I would prefer to have doors on the sides there and just some glass around the rest so there is an actual reason why you can't go past. Just my opinion and I know many games use invisible barriers and the edges of the map are already invisible barriers but I still don't like them. They just feel like a cheap way to stop a player rather than putting thought or time into making something that would actually stop the player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weldabar Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 It's not clear to me from the announcement, "New POIs added". Have ALL or only SOME of the new & reworked POIs been added to Navezgane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawning 2.6 zombies means 2 zombies plus a 60% chance of one more zombie. This allows us fine grain control, so we could scale an entire POI by 80% and it still works. Counts below 1 will always spawn one zombie, so you don't get empty volumes. Edited June 6, 2023 by faatal (see edit history) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eciggy Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 All food related crafting recipe times increased 400% (i.e. Meat Stew 1:15 is now 6:15 without perks, 0:47 with perk maxed) I assume this is suppose to be "...10:47 with perk maxed)" or is it an additional 0:47 maxed?

Matter of fact, isn't it worse in A20 seeing them all say empty all the time? Oh look! A bag! Empty. Oh look! A nest! Empty. In A21, the small containers just go poof and the large ones simply look open. There are a few containers left that won't have either for various reasons. The quest reset or the optional chunk reset system will handle repopulating them into the world. It all depends. I would rely quite a bit on breaking down trash bags and the like that are outside on the streets to get plastic for steel arrows/bolts - or for some other recipe (usually in a last-minute panic to prep for horde night ). Has the occurrence of plastic in loot been balanced to cover the removal of this harvestable resource from trash bags and other random decor blocks? If there were a recipe to craft your own scrap polymers in the chem station, that would be a good option. Same applies for the feathers to make stone/iron arrows/bolts - I would usually take the time to break down the nests to get more fathers out of them. Are there going to be more 'lootable' feathers in the nests to compensate for this loss of a harvestable resource? Or... will skilling up in Archery increase the amount of feathers you can loot/harvest from nests/vultures/chickens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they took that into account, unless harvesting chickens and vultures will have a chance to give eggs now (I dunno if I want to eat zombie vulture eggs though lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
