TL;DR for all those words though: Goons need to stop placing staircases on the walls to get inside if they don't want to get mauled to death by a horde of zombies in the middle of the night. Not that it's not funny every time it happens though. Archonex fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Jan 7, 2014 |

Kea posted:Laos the zombie spawns from the crater have definately not stopped, the spawns are base on co-ordinates not the actual landmark itself. Which sounds awesome. I sincerely hope the cover over the crater will dissolve the first time a pubbie walks over it, dropping them into a massive pit filled to the brim with zombies.

Some things about the materials system have me really confused. Either some materials dont stick to each other, or if you build high enough, nothing will stop stuff from collapsing if it isnt supported from directly underneath, or both? See the giant factory silos for example. First few levels it's fine, but near the top levels, anything that isnt directly on part of the core just collapses, from wooden plants to metal trussing. Re: stolen spikes, why not use the tree tip spikes instead of the degradable stick spikes? Those last until chopped down rather than breaking easily.

Had a lot of fun on Archonex's server, I tried to get more screenshots but was too busy trying to live. The only murderchurch 3.0 photo I have, sniper had pinned us inside at this point.  My first goonsplosion:     Aftermath  A Hardcore pubbie I came across when I had nothing, He was slowly scrapping the bridge. Cookies and I decided to speed up the process  Cookies has no aim    One of us spawned in some elaborate underground bunker and was killed, with the use of a few hundred TNT Cookies? managed to locate the shaft to bedrock. We opened it up for them, but left the shaft small main room with door untouched      30 Seconds in:

Archonex posted:Murdertown I finished the outer wall and it's now almost entirely reinforced concrete, except for some of the old entrance area. I also reinforced the blocks under the wall where the mote is so that zombies don't sap through it. I had to take some of the mote out though since I didn't have time to reinforce it all and it was just a big weakness if left as it was. The zombies are still spawning in that crater and at the house across the street. I tried blowing up more of the pool next to the crater to flood it more completely but I kept getting overrun with zombies so I don't know how it turned out. That 222 hacker was on again and in Murdertown. He was rebuilding stuff when I left, but I wouldn't be surprised if the place is decimated by tomorrow. edit: We could probably turn the crater into a fighting arena of some sort. When I went in, the zombies seemed to all spawn on top of each other in one spot. So we just even out the walls, line it with two layers of concrete and we could make a seating area up top. That way we can farm zombies or make pubbies go in and fight them with fists or sticks for our amusement. Inkel fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Jan 8, 2014 |

If the zombies are spawning in predictable locations, just dig a 10 block drop all around them and harvest the bodies at the bottom.

Especially if we had some way to force pubbies into it. quote:Did everyone switch mumbles? Every time I've logged in lately the mumble channel has been basically empty. A lot of goons don't seem to bother (And tend to get shot because of it.  ), but plenty of us are on. Around 3PM EST to 11PM EST is when most are on.

Hopefully when the real world building tools come out we can create a giant loving arena with only one spawn point in the center of the map. And then basically recreate the Ancient Roman gladiator games

So fun fact. 90 percent of all pubbies will backpedal reflexively if you put a mine in front of them. This will keep it from going off. That's why you put one a step behind them. Goons aren't immune to this trick either. This game has some great comedy potential. Playing with some of the goons is like palling around with the Three Stooges. Only they have chainsaws and high explosives.

This is very true. I was there with Pickles and Cookies yesterday on one of those "mining operations" into pubbie bases. I accidently trapped Pickles in a section of the base with a TNT stack. So my smart self decided I'll just dig him a walkway through the wall, so I take out my pickaxe and start hitting the wall. Totally didn't think about the TNT stack right next to the wall. The crater where both our bodies laid afterwards was glorious.

So there's a ton of holes in the eastern wall and most buildings minus the farm and mine entrance are leveled. Is this normal? Poked around, found a couple of pubbies spooking around too.

That was gold, I was in that upstairs room and cookies called out saying "I think you blocked him in" both of us had confidence in your plan to mine me out. One of the best death screens I've ever seen. Oh yeah I'm Pickles if people don't figure that out.

So I clicked on a respawn point close to Goontown so when I started to starve to death, I had a closer run than from the desert. I respawn into a giant concrete death pit with no exit. But it's raining zombies who die on the sharpened stumps. Is there a place where I can stash my poo poo? I've found a lot of stuff scavenging on my way north and I don't want to lose it all

Mewnie posted:So I clicked on a respawn point close to Goontown so when I started to starve to death, I had a closer run than from the desert. The best place I've found to stash poo poo is in my inventory. I log out and nobody can get to it. If you're suffering from the bug where you lose your inventory when you log out, or if archonex deletes our player files when he does a reset (do you?), then I'd say your best bet is a storage chest dug a few blocks underground. Put it nearby*, but in the forest, and write yourself a treasure map so you can remember where it is. (Start at the -landmark-. 5 blocks north, 10 blocks east, dig.) As long as you make sure nobody follows you, should be safe as houses. *on the goon server, you're going to want to put it in one of the regions that doesn't get deleted during a server reset. There's a map of the regions, put it inside the region that goontown is in (I believe some of the forest is saved along with goontown). HTH!

God drat I love the sledge hammer. Sprint up and bomp. I wish the hotbar was bigger though, I like to have 2 longbarrel shotguns (when 1 runs out in a firefight I swap to the 2nd one), an axe, a pick, some food, water, and healing item, plus a stack of stone plus shotgun ammo. That doesn't leave room for anything else.
