Some impressions

        

 

How to find our mod?

In the mod launcher by sphereii

or via the direct link https://dev.azure.com/AsiaMod/Stable/_git/Stable_A20

 

i am a part of the Asia Team and we are always here for you, fastest in our Discord: https://discord.asia-mod.net/ but of course also here.

 

Tips about our mod:

Please do not compare our mod with the vanilla version, forget what you have done before and get involved with this mod.
Yes we have many zombies, yes it takes time to kill them in the beginning.
We have a learning by doing system.

Running around in panic only helps to have more zombies behind you.

The night, it's really dark, don't forget your torch.
We look forward to your feedback, because balancing is definitely far from perfect. There is also still a lot missing in this mod.

We wish you a lot of fun with this mod and with the horses and pandas and the zombies.

I've been running it on a multi-server since the day it was released to the public.

while having fun
1. I feel that it is difficult to accumulate proficiency,
Unless you are a server administrator
About to quit
・Lack of endurance, stone spear attack does not last, etc.

2. It's sad that the panda doesn't join the attack.
I'm glad you weren't hit,
Just a mascot.

3. Horse. how can i get
No hint.
Even if I give you a "bucket of cabbage"
just eating
(Version 2.0.6)

4. The words of the merchant "Nadeshiko"
"You're in the way! Get out' is...
Well, I think it was the same line in vanilla too...

Conclusion.
It's fun, so everyone, let's play♪

Hello

The system used here is learning by doing, that means you don't know anything at the beginning and you learn little by little stamina, strength when attacking, ... etc. (so it is also explained in the beginning texts).
So it's worth it at the beginning rather to avoid attacks, to leave zombies in the bamboo forest, and not to just hit everything, which also does not give your food bar.
If you try the way to fight everything you will often die, there are too many zombies for that.

 

The panda is only for feeding at the moment, that's all it can do. It is also not meant to eat or hunt. Who tries it will quickly realize that it is not a good idea.
Everything ignores this panda.  (that's why it says Work in Progress,... there's still something to come).

 

How do I get with what I can do everything. 7 Days to Die has the journal, which is also used by many mods to explain the specifics. Our journal is available in English, German and Japanese.

 

What the dealer says exactly, I do not know, I only know that the texts have been specially recorded for this mod.

 

Please read the journal, there are the mod specific things explained.

Thank you Les!
Enjoy♪

Hi - I've been having fun lately trying out the Asia mod and have some comments/questions I'd like to share, hope that's okay!

 

1. Probably the biggest negative of the mod is the harsh encumbrance system where if you are at 2 encumbrance you can't move, you're just stuck in place.  Couldn't you change it to just walking really really slowly rather than at a complete stop?  Maybe? Please?

 

2. It would be great if you could add making a stone pickaxe to the starter quests so a new player would know that they exist and you can't get much stone just banging on a rock with the stone axe...

 

3. Since it's pretty important in this mod to choose your workstation perks wisely, could you add descriptions of what each type of workstation makes in the perks tree?  For example, the Furnace is new and the only way to find out what it makes is to go to the crafting menu for it.

 

4. I can't figure out how to use the firestarter and/or candles to get an existing candle holder in the POIs to light up.  Any tips on how that works (or if it works) would be helpful.  Maybe I'm missing something?

 

5.  Looking forward to seeing the pandas in game, haven't come across one yet!

 

Anyway, thanks for making this mod, it's really different and fun and interesting with a lot of great visuals to enjoy, too.

If the panda was running on the map
I hope we can meet.
cute.

こんにちは - 私は最近 Asia mod を試して楽しんでおり、共有したいコメントや質問がいくつかあります。

 

1. おそらくこのモッドの最大の欠点は、2 重荷になると動けなくなる過酷な重荷システムです。完全に停止するのではなく、本当にゆっくりと歩くだけに変更できませんでしたか? 多分？お願いします？

 

2. スターター クエストに石のツルハシの作成を追加できれば素晴らしいと思います。これにより、新しいプレイヤーが石のツルハシの存在を知ることができ、石の斧で岩を叩くだけでは多くの石を手に入れることができなくなります...

 

3. この mod では、ワークステーションの特典を賢く選択することが非常に重要なので、各タイプのワークステーションが特典ツリーに何をもたらすかについての説明を追加していただけますか? たとえば、炉は新しく、それが何を作るかを知る唯一の方法は、それのクラフト メニューに移動することです。

 

4. ファイヤースターターやキャンドルを使用して、POI 内の既存のキャンドルホルダーを点灯させる方法がわかりません。それがどのように機能するか（または機能するかどうか）に関するヒントは役に立ちます。多分私は何かを逃していますか？

 

5. ゲームでパンダに会えるのを楽しみにしていますが、まだパンダに会っていません!

 

とにかく、この mod を作成してくれてありがとう、それは本当に違っていて楽しくて面白いし、たくさんの素晴らしいビジュアルも楽しめます。

Items that ignite.

Ah, in English the item pictured would be called a striker (made of iron) and used together with a small stone (usually flint) to create a spark. 

 

I haven't tried the mod yet, but I do know how to make fire! 

 

🔥Mel

[DanuThuata]

to make fire in a campfire simply turn on.

What you see in the picture is a lighter for lamps. You give these lamps a candle and then you can light them with it.
(you need candles in your inventory).

[a_jp]

(translated)
I have three requests for SmallCat.
1. Increased movement speed
Too slow and hard to use.
Well, it's useless to increase the set speed without fuel.

2. The material JP name "wheelbarrow frame"
I can't make...
It's a specification.
I was surprised to see you in town.

3. Make sure that it can be collected (placed in a belt).
I want to cross the wall
Because SmallCat can not be collected
I will leave it behind.

Also, if you fall into a "hollow",
I can't
・For example, 2K map 128E16N+47

at 2.0.33
SmallCat's speed and
Slope tolerance may have improved.

 

 

However, aam_sailcar is
I can't see in front of me while driving.
