In old alphas we had more biomes variety with specific features you don't have with the current ones. The plains biome was like what you can see in this video: Reveal hidden contents This brings me back. Plains was my favorite biome to build and live in. I forgot about the water biome, that really brought a lot of life and ambiance to the lakes and rivers they encompassed. I hope it makes a return, it really was nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plains biome was like what you can see in this video: Reveal hidden contents Lol no, I'm not a new player. It's just that a lot of people are chirping about this or that being added in without being cognizant of the design philosophy the Fun Pimps seem to have - Just use mods like most active players do if you really want something. This philosophy is the same reason they're more conservative about zombie variation and gradually gutted portions of the crafting/building/survival mechanics over time. Since like a17, They've been trimming the fat on what might be deemed trival or redundant, and focusing on progression and streamlining/refining impactful, prominent features - I'd put some money down that the only "big" content addition they'll make before gold is the inclusion of bandits and a storyline. Maybe I'm wrong and a Fun Pimp will correct me, but it's been a pretty obvious progression over time in my eyes on the direction of the game.

Right. I mean, at what point does the ludicrous become ludicrous? Where are the toothbrushes? Nail clippers? Scissors? Space heaters? DVDs? Pens and pencils? (gasp!) Forks, spoons, tumblers, hand soap containers, rakes, lawn mowers, ad nauseum. Don't need them for immersion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK If its worth the time to design and code in its very own biome though.. Plains biome got removed in A17 if I recall. We even used to have two different forest biomes. 5 hours ago, cmills said: Lol no, I'm not a new player.

That's right We had maple forest which it's warmer and then you had the pine forest that was colder and could even snow rarely on alpha 15 and I think 16 Kinda miss the snow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved how it accumulated on everything and I think you even left footprints in it. I don’t miss needing a million clothes to fight the constantly changing temps. The mini game of trying to not constantly freeze/overheat-even in the maple forest-was a little tedious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope snowfall can make it back in with the weather system. Snowy, foggy variations in the Snow Biome would be great. That and the old rain storms; blinding, deafening, heavy rains and thunder to really mess up whatever you had planned to do that day to prepare for Bloodmoon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt115 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Ok guys : one good thing. This new designs of traders bases are soooo good. i love them. Neutral thing mortague POI - Realy good especialy this cult vibes Witch POI - realy good nothing to complain, realy good muschrooms source and visualy great Military road blockade with base - realy good POI. Only small thing is that you can parkour this all POI easy This "horror" house with tree with rope - eh... kinda good idea but wasted. I will explain why - this POI is small. In theory is hard - many skulls. But in reality is realy easy - now you have tons of ammo so - if you shot zombie nearby it will activate most of them. so zombie will show up in waves - hard variants but because of waves that soooo easy to kill. so easy too loot. only rooftop would challenge but because 1 thing is not - you can easy spot burned zombie because there is no burned corpse props. So - it kinda have potential to be "nightmare house mod for hl2 " inspired POI but lack of hangmans, corpses , maybe some writings would be great and last thing - too many zombie workers and hazmats everywhere. Like... just you can find them almost everywhere - well workers and hazmats should be more POI- connected variants not common like normal civilians. Because if you can find them in almost every house it's just medicore. Maybe add infected bandits or swats instead would solve this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFT2020 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Remember that they have to balance computer resources for a co-op game up to 8 players and older computer setups. Mods don't have to worry about that, so modders can have more freedom to do what they want and not worry about the consequences of adding more items to the game. My computer can handle more, but I only play SP and my computer was recently built in the last couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the A21 dev videos before A21 released, they said they were considering adding a couple more, so I think this is incorrect. But whether or not they do is another question. Just because they said they were considering it doesn't mean it will happen. Besides, they had more in the past, so having more now shouldn't be an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But - for character design shoes are not suitable : nature connected cultists? Barefoot Street urchin in medieval? barefoot Elf? let's say it's not battle armor and more dalish that warhammer then lack of shoes suit good So this same for zombie design - a lot of people go barefoot in houses plus shoes wear out after long walking. so would have sense that "long time zombies" are mostly barefoot and in rags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a programmer it sounded like they needed the resources/assets to use for bandits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
