I had two game changing revelations today. I noticed the new resource boulders show up on the map as different colored squares. Potassium is white, lead is light grey, iron is dark grey, coal is black. Which makes finding mining sites so much easier than going out and actually looking for them. Secondly I'd overlooked/forgotten you can smelt dukes to brass 1:1 now. Which means buying anything brass from a trader is a straight up waste of dukes. Speaking of dukes, I'm glad they nerfed the economy to a degree. I mean in A16-17 it was trivial to set up production to earn enough cash to buy out all the ammo from every trader every three days forever. BUT, I swear the price of solar panels went up this patch. Anyone have any hot tips on what to craft to sell? I've been alternating between selling stacks of forged steel, and going on 'wrenching day' in the wasteland for car parts.

I plan to eat a lot of glass to build up death count to lower my gamestage since I am such a casual gamer.

There needs to be things that aren't craftable so people have to go out of their cave. (while they sit in their basement)

Yeah, a single trip with a level 1 wrench and no salvage points will yield tons of springs and mechanical parts from cars. Hell, just do a POI, and wrench the beds, stoves, and appliances. This isn’t as nearly big a deal as the inability to forge beakers in A17, which were crazy rare. Springs I just melt down now for scrap, since they give 10 iron and stack well. Or you can scrap em for 7 iron with no inventory carrying cost (except your massive iron pile)

The seed gen "Somethingawful goons" created a map with most of the cities clumped in the west, so I tried "1234567" and it created one with decently distributed, dense cities. Still on track here to flip the switch in the early evening. PowderKeg fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Nov 8, 2019 |

Can the OP be updated with accurate server info? For some reason it won't let me save to favorites.

Any of you guys tried using the new Spear/Javelin much? I dropped a few points into it and have used it a lot but never get dismemberments with melee and throwing them seems ineffective at best. Do I just need more skill points? I'm only level 10 but I find myself defaulting to the bow and arrow despite having no skills for it. Somewhat related to the above, despite being able to run a resource hog like Warhammer Total war II on high settings with max unit sizes, I am running 7d2d on absolute minimum settings and I am still running into a pretty annoying stuttering problem, and having Draw Distance so low means I can see through some obstacles until I am right on top of them, which really sucks. Anyone have any advice on how to optimize my graphics settings?

I really like spears. I rarely use them as javelins, and am too lazy to use anything but guns in ranged (didn't take much stealth this time) but head stabs are fun.

Spears are great for the range (3 to 4 blocks) and throwing them is really strong, 3ish throws can kill a normal walker or really soften up a tougher zombie. Just be careful not to hurl the thing down a cliff or behind a horde.

Have you tried turning off anisotropic filtering? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qqgKvAXklc I have am amd card so I have to use gfx af 0 in the console to turn that off but hey try it, it might help.

I've got a frankenstein parts PC so I'm using all the tricks (disable af from control panel, gfx pp enable 0, mostly lowest settings) to get acceptable framerates, but sometimes the game just starts to lag like hell. It just suddenly goes from 60-70fps to around 5fps, and restarting is the fastest way to fix that.

Did they change how you craft specialty flagstone blocks in A18? I can craft basic flagstone blocks but I cannot do any ramps, stairs, or anything else.

The blocks that have different modifiable shapes have a special icon in the upper left corner of the inventory icon. Even things like the wood fences are 10 blocks in one.

is a server or game setting, or did A18 change when Ferals can spawn? Its day 3 and I have run into a good half dozen so far and dealing with them is a pain when sub level 10 while wearing Plant Fibre bullcrap and using tier 1 wooden/stone weapons.esquilax posted:The blocks that have different modifiable shapes have a special icon in the upper left corner of the inventory icon.

When you are trap in a big building and tough zombie keep respawing in groups of 8. I wish we can raise skill up to lv10 to keep up with the huge increment of zombie’s hp. PS: Glass suicices doesn’t lowers gamestage or noticeable.

Honestly I mostly stick to my bat for killing most zombies. Even small groups (2-4) are doable since I just power attack their legs and leave them knocked down and or limping while I bash another Zed. Parkour, even level 3, is great for letting me use terrain to keep distance and disengage/reengage at my leisure. The only time the broomstick comes out is large groups, multiple ferals, bad/tight terrain, or Rad Zombies (who seem to be resistant to knockdown). Has anyone tried shotgun slugs? I’ve definitely noticed my shotgun struggles with armored military zombies and the demos, but the handful of Slugs I bought/looted didn’t seem to do much better (I still lack the ability to make My own cause Shotgun Messiah books apparently don’t exist for me). I haven’t yet given one of the big PoI factories/skyscrapers a go yet, maybe I’ll do that today.
