Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

Can someone help me better understand how to use skill points.

 

1) Should I take the chef skill as a farmer...or will I get them automatically by finishing the quests? I noticed I already got 2 living off the land. Don't want to take anything I will get naturally. So basically, should I not touch any skills in farmer if I started as a farmer?

 

2) What do you feel are generic "must haves" for Darkness Falls? I see that many are reworked, like Sexual T-Rex, etc. Doesn't look nearly as OP.

Thanks for any help! 

Completing the quests of the class quest chain give you a few (3, I think) skill points that are automatically open random skill in this class. I advice you to complete class quest chains before using your free skill points to open class skills. The quests are pretty easy and don't take a lot of time usually

I master Scientist as soon as possible to get access to the Anti-radiation pills, which will allow you to do jobs in and harvest titanium from the wasteland areas. Otherwise you are locked out of those areas til you manage to find at least 4/5 of the hazmat set or enough hazmat suits to break down into materials for the rad ready set.

Jeez, her office feels really small. I can't imagine this scout can do much when she is banging her head so often on the ceiling.  Also, is just me or the other NPC's like def taller than the player character?

They are all "trapped" to keep them from glitching out. Razor was the worst, he'd be vibrating around and creating clones that'd also start vibrating around.

So if the ceiling was raised just by 1 block up, they'd all end up making clones? My god... we'd be doomed!

I'd say it's at that height so it'd match the rest of the surrounding planks. Not sure why she was moved away from the trader's little nook, that seemed to work fine.

Just want to pop my head in and say I am reading stuff in here. I've been taking a few days off to refresh the brain.

By all means, I expected you to go on a vacation after how much work was required to get the mod going this far after a major update. Thanks again!

Is Eve supposed to have any quests? I found her via the Introducing Eve quest. I collected a reward from her and all I can say to her is "Nevermind".

I dont know that it has an impact on anything I havent done any quests yet. I do get this error on my startup of server and local both using the "DFalls-Medium1-NoCP" map. Since I love a good skyscraper crawl or if a quest sends me to a building that is not there yet. Just thought I would put this out there.

Edit: this is a fresh install on both. And game does run fine.

 

 

Although its nice that he included them --- I am not sure if the pre-genned maps are up to date.

 

My suggestion is to to generate a map from scratch --- It will have at least 2 DF Bunkers in it which is a thing for the end-game.

 

If you are unsure the map genned correctly you can always examine the map XML and do a search for "Bunker."

 

When I brought up my own map in a Dedi server it was clean. No Warnings.

Hi all! Has anyone found a stack mod that works with this newest version and A20? Also, has anyone tried to run Server Tools with it? I'm excited to get this set up on my server tonight for our group. I have missed it!! 

Yep running the latest mod and version on a Dedi server. I recommend creating your own map 1st then bringing it to your server.

Thanks for the reply, sorry for my confusion, I thought we had to use the default DF maps included in the MOD pack. I believe RWG does not work so when you say generate a map from scratch what do you mean?

The maps were literally made 1-2 days before I released.

So you're talking nonsense. RWG doesn't work. Stop telling people to use it.

Hi, I just started a DF playthrough on the small DF map. Completed enough scout missions to be sent to razor but when i went to him and completed the opening trade route mission he has no follow up missions. Just has the text nevermind? Any help with this please?

[Kepana]

This is simply more information. I tested with large map as well and it throws the same error/warning.

Make sure you are logged in in steam.

Question 1:  I read an entry by KhaineGB posted above (Tuesday) about turning occlusion off if objects are disappearing.  I went to do so, but found occlusion greyed out and non-responsive.  Do I need to change something else to make that possible?  Thanks.

 

Question 2: Do the new DF maps have all the same biomes (forest, snow, burnt, desert, wasteland, radiated) or have a couple been eliminated with A20?  I've explored about a quarter of the map looking for the burnt biome and coal to make gunpowder, but so far have seen a lot of forest, and little snow and desert.  Just wanted to check to make sure I wasn't looking for something that was gone.  If biome changes, where are the minerals now?  Thanks.

Vanilla POI issue. I've put a fix in for 4.01 (testers just got it) but you can ignore it.

1) You have to be at the main menu to do it.
2) There's no burnt biome on A20.

Did I read correctly you cannot use a RWG world?

Perfectly normal. Even on an nvme. There's a lot more assets being loaded than vanilla.

[Nickguy5467]

the scout quests send you randomly around the whole map. you have no idea if you can do them or not . no range or nothin like trader quests. is it supposed to be like that? a lottery? 😛

On average, how long does it take to load the game ? Like 15 minutes ?

 

My laptop is using SSD.

 

So when I press F1, I saw a lot of errors such as: Could not load Prefab xyz...

 

Then a long lines of NullReferenceException. 🥴

 

Edit: I used the wrong launcher, should have used the non-EAC one. Now it worked. But there were still 2 errors related to Prefab.

Hello. If there is no burned biome, then coal can now be found in any biome?

And about the localizations, are there plans to return them? I am particularly interested in Russian localization )

The scout sends you approx 200-500 meters away to kill zombies, UNLESS you're on a dedicated server due to a bug in how dedicated servers select areas for buried supplies.

So yes, it is. Don't take them if you can't kill zombies.

Check the mining tips of the journal because I updated it.

And as per the patch notes, no. Because the localization was getting too big and crashing servers. It's a bug TFP need to fix.

I'm playing the Survivalist Class and currently struggle.

 

I've met Doctor Anna and she told me to help Eve. But where is Eve ? I can't see her around the place.

 

Also how can I craft leather armor set ? I can't build a tailoring workbench yet.
