Uncle Al Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 That's a revamp of a previous one isn't it? Looks amazing. I think the original was the first big POI I ever did. I'd learned enough in a few hours of playing to know the level designers were twisted sadists, so when I got to the walk along the crane I was thinking 'vultures? or collapsing floor?' - it was land mines. They take their anti-climb paint seriously in Arizona, it seems. New version looks absolutely stunning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Al Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) I have a passing comment on loot settings. I guess they're probably not a priority, as I'd assume the vast majority of players play on default, but less than 100% loot is even more whacky than usual these days. Toilets don't drop murky water, ever, on 50% loot. You get paper or nothing. That makes the early game punishing in the extreme. Data is from a 25 day playthough on 50% loot, looting every toilet I came across. Easily a couple of hundred toilets. I started to get suspicious around day 3, but stuck with it to try to confirm what I was seeing. I still don't quite understand the mechanics of varying loot level, but I do know that what you get is not what you expect. 50% loot should mean about half as much loot as vanilla, surely? The current implementation seems to be that items that can be found in multiples, but in very low numbers (1-2 or 1-3) only appear if you would have got 2+ items under 100% loot. That cuts some items way, way down under 50%, despite that being what you set loot to. I'd already noticed eggs almost ceasing to exist at 50% loot, and learned to live with it, but the water thing is a lot more impactful. Coolers and cooler bottles occasionally produce murky water on 50% loot setting, but at much less than half the normal rate. I confess I don't quite understand why loot settings were done in such a complicated way. I have worked on enough software projects to know there may well be a reason, though. Was there a technical constraint on not implementing it as 'number of items found is constant but chance of actually finding that number varies by loot setting' instead of 'number of items found varies by loot setting', which is how it seems to have been implemented? 'Number of items found is constant but chance of finding that number varies by loot setting' could work by rolling the loot percentage for each item and if you make your roll you get the normal amount of that item, if you fail the roll you get nothing. Instead of trying to do a calculation to reduce the number of objects found, you always use the 100% setting baseline amount, but you actually receive your 'standard amount' of items less or more often for lower/higher loot settings. This approach would make non standard loot settings 'spiky', but I don't think that's a bad thing. On 25% loot you could get nothing for ages then maybe get a decent haul, but that's kind of fun, no? For loot settings over 100% you get the normal amount of an item then roll at 'loot setting - 100' to see if you get a second helping. If rolling per item is 'too many rolls' for some system reason, you could roll once per container, which would still mean you get exactly the percentage increase/reduction that your loot setting claims to offer, just even spikier than rolling once per item.

Chaton Noir Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 @faatal Speaking of cameras — will the player have a shadow? Or better yet, the lower body and legs? Do you plan on ever doing this, or will it definitely not happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaton Noir Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 15 hours ago, Adam the Waster said: Kinda was hoping for unreal or something You beat me too it I too thought the next games were going to be on UE. Even imagined 7 Days To Die 2 on UE5) Though I think when the sequel comes out, it will already be UE6 or even UE7. The sequel is clearly worth waiting for in the next decade, not before. And that's if there will be one. However, TFP could probably do much better on Unity if they made the game from scratch. Unity is constantly developing and improving. After all, UE5 isn't a miracle. Just having it won't give us a good game. I won't deny that I like UE better than Unity, though. But the most important thing is how developers will use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRussel Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I thought there was supposed to be 2 traders in each biome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riamus Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 You can have multiple traders per biome. It just depends on the map size and how towns get laid out. You will always have the same traders in the same biomes, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like multiple of the same trader in the same biome like it is now. But I don't use RWG anymore, so it doesn't really matter much to me. But I still feel things like that should be optional in a "Random" World Generator regardless of any plans for a story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As 40% isn't an allowed standard setting. If so, it would explain why you're having a very different experience as it probably does reduced loot differently to how vanilla does. If you're not and actually using the 37% setting vanilla, how often is not often? 200 toilets is a pretty good sample size so if you're getting 1 in 4 or something then I may have other issues.

If I knew how to do it I would make custom maps that allowed for random building placement. Traders, roads, biomes, stamps, and tiles would all be permanent. Maybe have a few buildings that never changed depending on the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When setting up a server, the percentage of production is entered into the configuration file manually, as much as you write, that's how much it will be.
