Navezgane seems like wasted effort. All good though, i still get to play RWG. The FunPimps love environmental storytelling. This works even better with a hand crafted map. 51 minutes ago, schwanz9000 said: Maybe? We'll have to see what the future holds.

zicky Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I haven't played the Navesgane map since Alpha 14 or 15 (16?). I prefer exploring instead of knowing where everything is. I might give it a playthrough this time, though, since it's been so long and I've forgotten everything. In fact, I'm not sure the last time I played that map that they even had traders available.

But seriously, if there is a major bug on release day, I'd rather less people experience it on a Monday, when we are all already at work and the appropriate people can try to fix it before the weekend, when many more people would be effected and annoyed. That is why many big companies make releases or updates during the week. Major bug after all this time, really ???? really ???? Seriously, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faatal Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 2 minutes ago, Jay_ombie said: Major bug after all this time, really ???? really ???? Yep. In years past we have had streamer weekends where we saw a nasty bug or two and made fixes over the weekend. Or sometimes it is just an annoying bug where worlds need to be restarted. I'd rather have a lesser amount of annoyed people having to restart after a few days. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a QA Lead in the industry for years, and there's only so much you can do with a relatively small number of people testing the software professionally. Hundreds of thousands of players suddenly slamming it and doing things you simply never thought of (or things you did think of but only break under volume) will always turn up new defects—you just sit there and pray they're not A or B bugs. But it happens, and it is a very sick feeling when it does. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the drone as a flying companion because it would have been too difficult to code a companion that walks on the ground and has to follow you. Even the drone has to teleport or fly through walls and ceilings to follow you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can edit your biomes very easily in any paint program after generating a map and before starting a game. That combined with choosing percentages for biomes covers quite a lot of what you might be looking for. The rest... Well, we can hope or we can use third party map generators that provide that. 😁 Edited June 9, 2023 by Riamus (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I came here guys to continue begging to add a pet in the form of a wolf or a dog to the game to help players as a living being who will support and entertain you in this dangerous world of the zombie apocalypse. I just downloaded one mod that adds a faithful pet, but its quality and texture of the pet leave much to be desired. Therefore, it is only developers who can add this mechanic to the game. Please guys, I really need a four-legged friend in this great my most favorite game. I am sure you do. The first thing you should train your four-legged friend is to remember the forum password for you 😁 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum123456789 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Asking for pets to tame is beating a dead horse just like what happened with Learn by doing for a while its unlikely this game will ever have that maybe in the next who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaledwyn Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I assume the experimental launch will be at 12:00 PM CST on Monday? Or is it different for each region? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPrice321 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Basically the release time on Monday depends on the results of the QA team testing any last minute fixes the devs submit for things they noticed while watching streams over the weekend. If there is something nasty they really want to get fixed before Public Experimental but the first attempt didn't work then they might need a second or third build and the release can push later into the day. They had two different builds on the internal Testing_Trunk branch this evening per steamdb for example. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Hunter Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 @faatalWhat ended up taking the most time or caused the most bugs trying to implement features during this update? My prediction is Performance and Optimizations and the Networking Improvements or was a lot of work done for things to be introduced in A22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melange Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 9 hours ago, mstdv inc said: I would prefer 5-7 manually created maps like Navezgane I'll agree with that. More tailored pregen maps (like around 5) for each size (6k, 8 k, 10 k) would be welcome. Sure, I can gen a new map any time, but to be able to play a customised TFP map as an option would be oh so nice. While the gang isn't all hands on deck to solve some wayward issue, perhaps a few of the crew may be building some awesome worlds to experience. Incorporating features that would not normally appear in a random world. Then again, as of lately, your hands are full. Ya' all dont't lack imagination. When things slow down, let a few of the folk have a fun time with world generation. You know the masses will eat it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Crow Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 So a couple of questions because I'm a little confused... 1. Laundry, store shelves/coolers/freezers/produce/gun rack, coffins, caskets, file cabinets, shoe/pant/shirt/book piles, medical cabinets, medicine cabinets, utility carts, and ammo displays are now using destroy_on_close="empty" and DowngradeFX Does this mean these containers will self-destruct when looted, like nests and garbage piles? If so, seems like a confusing change (although clothing piles already poofed after looting anyway, but I like to chop laundry baskets for scrap polymers). 2. Containers that change to an "Open" model once looted, will these revert to their "Closed" model after X days when loot respawns normally? Or is that no longer going to be a feature (outside of resetting the chunk/starting a quest)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT Zorro Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 With all the years of development on 7daystodie I am totally okay, that the A21 release will be on the first day of my holidays, where my family and I are away from home for 11 days. So I probably will miss the first blood moon. Nevertheless, thank you, FunPimps, for years and years of fun with a "self"-refreshing game now and then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Симулятор воды, создание сетки воды, сброс чанков и файловый менеджер были одними из самых больших изменений. On December 13, our favorite game turns 10 years old! Are you planning to do something in honor of such a grandiose date? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we don't have an open state container for those that don't look strange yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
