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

I think the new auto sharing of quests screws this mod up in multi-player.

 

The storyline quests need to be ignored by this completely. 

[Zyamaia]

Hey guys after playing the mod for more time than I'd care to admit LOL I have a few question.  First, where do I find Titanium, I'd thought it would be in the wastelands but only found Uranium and a butt ton of mobs LOL.  2nd I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but why does the Box Truck take 2 V8 Engines?  Last where is the best place to look for Research notes?

 

     Other than those minor things Great Mod @KhaineGB You mod is ALWAYS a pleasure to play keep up the great work.

@TechieZero

I've been playing multiplayer and haven't noticed any mod issues with storyline quests and auto-sharing, except that the storyline quests were not shared (Scout's quests were shared, increasing the number of Zombies spawned when activated (so seems fine), but my party split up for a bit to complete Razor and Eve quests).  I'd agree it kinda sucks that Anna's quest isn't shared, since it's a fun one to party up for, but we just did it extra times.  If the quest-issues you were running into were related to hitting the quest-starter-marker, and getting a response like "It's not available right now", then that's a Vanilla issue (still is I think, if you both took quests to the same POI and shared (or not) both quests), not sure there's anything to be done about it.

 

@Zyamaia

If you go to the DFalls Discord (link in OP), there's an informative FAQ to read, though it wouldn't cover everything you've asked.  Titanium is in Wasteland, it's not rare, so spend a couple more minutes looking (hit the large grey boulders and the resources you find besides stone are underneath as an Ore Vein (you can find these anywhere, but if they reach the surface they become a boulder)).  If you want to open up a mine in the Wasteland, it's not a bad idea to make its entrance a bit of a defensive fort (consider Robotic Turrets or Spikes for dealing with Screamers before they'd scream).  For Research Notes, my best luck is in completing Anna's quest (the SciFi desks & lockers, and bags dropped by Scientists and Hazmat guys; after 2-3 runs I had about 30 RNotes).

Searching for the UFO quest or POI

 

Anyone any hint where to get the UFO quest or find the UFO POI? 
Played through the Dr. Ana quests but no UFO? Friend of mine got it but failed and it did not show up again. He can not remember anything. Found some videos on Youtube and seems like Trader Hugh T3 quest in Forest Biome. I‚m level 300 getting T6 quests only. Any way to get the quest or location of POI?
 

Thanks

[wanderinpaladin]

If it's in the map (It's just a pep poi not attached to the storyline) you'll have to search through the traders for the quest for it. You could bring up the Debug Mode and use the poi teleporter to see if it is even on the map. If they say it's T3 then check the traders you have up to T4 and look for either a regular t3 or a t4 infestation....that'll be a nightmare.

That's not fixable by me. Sharable is already set to false on the quests.

Wasteland for titanium. It should be the most common material there.

I'll check the box truck. That should not happen.

Kill lab zombies and search desks in both bunkers. I'm thinking of making a scout quest for lab zombies to help.

UFO POI is a PEP POI. So check those maps. It only spawns in the wilderness.

Hi. How do I open a map with my game progress in the world editor?

 

Edited April 1 by Redgar (see edit history)

[KhaineGB]

I've actually never done that, so I have no idea

[PoloPoPo]

What is the latest DF version and where is the download link to that? Can't find it in the first post but maybe I'm blind.

 

Moreover, is it a good time to start a new DF playthrough or is there a newer version about to be released soon? Have not played DF on A21 yet.

[KhaineGB]

- Adjusted the effect that triggers from Feel The Heat so it should fire more consistently.

- Lowered bonus run speed from Automatics Action skill to 10% from 20%.
- Moved Improved Heating Element from Hammer and Forge to Master Laborer as level 10 is too early.

On Day 172 everything max,  Upgraded to 5.1 so far everything is working with existing save.  Just added all the points needed for the new items I have over 300+ available.

Built the V.O.I.D and remote toke a min or two to get it to link the remote.  had to point at the bottom of the V.O.I.D to link it.  Going to see if I can access it from my Wasteland mine which is over 4.9 KM away and on top of a mountain.

[madmikep]

I renamed the V.O.I.D   "StarGate"

 

 

How do we change the Night Vision back to Red don't like the black and white makes it hard to see in the real dark areas

[DrDerp]

So with this new update can we not play with existing save?

I've verified the integrity of my files AND confirmed the files within the new DF-V5 download are all good and the game keeps bugging hard. Not only am I running into bugs where zombies are becoming frozen in place and nothing can be looted including your own storage containers, but the game keeps stating my fellow partners within the game are leaving when they are still in the game and ultimately doesn't allow you to do anything until you reset client.

I'm just wondering if anyone else is running into these issues and if maybe I have to wipe my DF server and start fresh again completely or what?

Khaine has said a new save is required. However, there are those saying they have not had a problem. It maybe related to various quests or skills that were not taken during the playthrough.

[AndromedaXP]

Thanks Khane for this huge update. 

A release note kept me wondering...

"Adjusted gun safe loot (ONLY lockpicked version, not smashed open version)."

 

Does this mean that you get other/better loot when you open ATMs/safes/police cars with a lockpick?

because I always use pickaxe for this job 😁

As far as I remember it's been like that for some time now.   I think it's like 25% less loot or just not as good quality.

Until I added the Patch to 5.1  then about 1/2 of my base reset to default ground setting.  Lost about 95% of the storage including the VOID I setup under ground.  

 

Now I do auto backup my player profile on every logon by Hash.   So I could have deleted the Mods folder and just unzip the 5.1 back and restore the player profile and I would be fine.  But since I was on Day 17x it was time to start a new map

The DLL thing is a false positive. Several of us have checked it and it's fine. It's been reported to Microsoft.

V.O.I.D is still undergoing updates.

You don't change nightvision back.

No, you can't. 5.1 is a save killer due to quest and progression changes.

Same way as you would for single player

[walkingwounded]

Running 5.0.1 (release):

Thought I'd report some quirks I've encountered.

1 - trees stop producing after several harvests. Example: I planted an orchard of apple, orange, banana and coconut trees (about 6 of each). After a few weeks (and perhaps 4 or 5 harvests) they have now all stopped producing, being stuck in their 'harvested' state. I placed a scarecrow in the area, but that has not fixed them. I plan to replant new seeds but this may be a bug. I have had a crash or two in the current game, maybe something but corrupted in the process and the counters got messed up. I know they are not taking damage as I had some on a roof that did the same thing.

 

2 - I had one instance of an animal trap instantly filling with meat and such after loading it with feed. I think it had all three upgrades installed. I just stopped filling it until a few days went by, but something was up.

 

3 - very few demons if any outside of the wasteland zone, even when over level 140. Is this normal. In a19 I'd start finding demons in the other biomes once I got past 100 and had to adjust accordingly (upgrading to coil weapons, carrying water, etc). Even within the wasteland biome POI's for quests have very few demons. Please note i'm not asking for more demons, just curious when I can expect them.

 

Thanks, and looking forward to more.

1) That sounds like your map may have some chunk issues that's screwing things up. I've noticed chunk corruption seems WAY worse in a21.

2) Known and fixed.

3) Depends on your difficulty. Demons should start popping up around GS 250-300

So, i have been playing 7 days to die without mods, this is actually the first one we play, and we are facing some issues at the time of playing together at a server, i'll try to explain myself as good as possible. I first started the server, and no problems at all connecting and playing in general but upon doing certain actions one of my two friends keeps getting the attepted to read past the end of stream error , it makes the console pop and does not let him keep playing unless he does alf+F4

we tried: creating a new world, flushing all the data from the launcher but the error keeps going. To see if this was my issue, he started hosting the server and i started getting randomly disconnected. So after reseting again the playthrough i decided to create a dedicated sever where both of my friend are getting the attempted to read past the end of stream error again. So Today i will try to reinstall my game and my data as i'm pretty sure that has to be something going with me. but i wanted to ask if any of you had faced any of this issues and know WHY and how to fix it. It really bothers me when i can't find why things are happening so apreciate the help as we just want to enjoy playing the mod and is the third day and we didn't even start playing ^^
