Re: New Release! (BTW 4.B0000002) - NO SPOILERS
Thanks for the update, man! I have yet to participate in Vegehenna due to starting a new job (my last version installed is 4.AFFFFFFFd), so I'm looking forward to trying it out! Compliment: You have ruined all other games for me. Forever. I have to echo this sentiment. It goes (at least) double for ...

Re: 4.AFFFFFFF - Animageddon Spoiler Thread
You can use fences to enclose small regions of grass in the interior of your pen to get a higher grass-to-dirt "surface area." This should make a huge difference if you do it throughout the pen (the rate of grass growing will become proportional to the area rather than the perimeter). I t...

Re: 4.AFFFFFFF - Animageddon Spoiler Thread
Well, I made a little feeding station to replace the silly contraption I had tied in with the wolf feeder's item decay system: https://i.imgur.com/yeIF4e3.jpg ..it's pretty much an item decay system but with food ;) It seems to be keeping up with the two sheeps' dietary needs, without completely dra...

Re: 4.AFFFFFFF - Animageddon Spoiler Thread
A little update on my testing: My 160+ block farm (which is mostly wheat with some hemp) is more than enough to support the two sheep I have, but catastrophically short of the required seed production. So classical animal breeding is probably fine for non-chickens . However, chickens require seeds o...

Re: 4.AFFFFFFF - Animageddon Spoiler Thread
Just a heads up that I think you guys may be severely underestimating the magnitude of these changes, and may still be thinking in very vanilla terms out of habit. To give you a sense of things: I wasn't fucking around with this :) No kidding, man :) Is animal automation going to be a thing anymore...

Re: 4.AFFFFFFF - Animageddon Spoiler Thread
Two sheep in a 13x9 pen (that's the interior dimensions; thanks to FC for survey stakes ;) ) cleared out most of the grass within about 3-4 in-game days. All but four of the interior blocks are definitely in sunlight, and those four have glowstone blocks hovering above 'em (to keep monsters from spa...

Re: Hooray the forums are back!
Not just the forums, but the wiki too.
Thanks for bringing it back, sargunster! Funny bit: I have a dedicated server as well, and the billing is equally unforgiving :)

Re: New Release! (BTW 4.ABCFEFE) - NO SPOILERS
I'd really enjoy hearing your thoughts on the new early game sometime man :) I'll definitely make a separate, detailed write-up at some point. But in short, it's very good. I love the fire-related stuff, the extended usage we get out of the in-inventory crafting grid (the vMC "it's just to mak...

Dude! So cool to hear from you again, and so glad to see you're still enjoying the mod :) Of course, man! I'll be enjoying it as long as I'm able to play games. One of the few places I can get any sort of challenge and progression. For example, I was reading on the vMC wiki about how they'd very st...

Hey man, thanks for the update! You hit most of my complaints in a single patch hehe :) Plus, a bunch of cool-sounding stuff.

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled
Finally solving the "Minibike"- mystery: ...that's pretty much what I visualize when someone says "minibike" (although I imagine something a little less Mad Max, and more like a microscopic CBR or such). They're silly toys. Of course I might be biased, I had an M-class license (...

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled
Any feedback on this one? I went on a bit of a 7 Days/BTGB bender the past week, and I'm really happy with how things turned out. The added flexibility that I have now over POI generation allowed me to build much more of a progression into the mod where there's a progressive difficulty (and reward)...

I bought it for full price back in the day, and enjoyed it, although I didn't think it was worth the full price. Now it's about...

I broke down and updated BTGB. New release available over on the 7 Days forums ;) Uhoh - that's good news and bad news. The good news is, I'll have lots of fun. The bad news is - won't sleep very well. BTGB really gets me goin' on an adrenaline high with all that tension and stuff, and makes it har...

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled
Yeah, it is cool that they seem to be trying to add a bit more progression, but man, after trying it today I'm doubly face-palming over all the posts I've seen on their forums about it being too hard since the release of Alpha 11. Many of the forumites seem to embrace the concept of "whine and...

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled
Yeah...I dunno man. Reading over the change log isn't really doing much for me. I'll definitely give it a try at some point in the next week or so, but I'm not exactly feeling excited about it. It is indeed very "meh" overall. The increased challenge is nice, and gating the hated crossbow...

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled
Well, A11 dropped - and I have to say, I have no idea what to make of it. There are some good things (it's a bit more progress oriented, some of the evil things have been gated, yields from at least some of the mining stuff reduced (coal and potassium nitrate ore is now 1->5 instead of 1->10, possib...

What is your rig setup, how is performance and does it impact your plan for your next PC? Well, I have an i7-3820. That's from the SandyBridge-E line, which is a couple of years old.

That is not a motorcycle of any sort. That is not even a bike. That's a child's toy some idiot parent decided would be fun to ride before they broke it and made their child cry.

Re: 7 Days to Die - and How I'm now Spoiled
My first thought at "minibike" was some kind of off-road motorcycle, like they use in dirt bikes. That's probably my first thought because I've seen them used in post-apoc movies before. They're good for for rougher terrain, don't eat up gas like a Hummer or something would, and you can l...

Uhhh.. Minibike? What's this minibike nonsense? (maybe that's an American thing? They're pretty much banned here, you'd never find one now, let alone after a zombie apocalypse) You'd think that they'd go with a pedal bicycle, as they're incredibly common and would be fairly practical (doesn't need g...

Re: KSP Beta 0.90.
So funny how they gated launch mass and EVA behind structure upgrades now. Wonder if that that was natural progression or by peeking at BTSM. Giving a vanilla hard run a try, ugh! The silly contracts, while still better with fine print, are going to send me back to moderate difficulty. I've been wo...

Re: 7 Days To Die: Better Than Giant Bees Mod
So, in that sense, yes, the game does get more difficult (to a degree) as you keep playing. The super hordes tend to get tougher as you keep playing. Not sure why you'd get one on day 13 though, as the night of Day 14 is when you'd normally expect to get one. There seems to be a vanilla bug that do...

Some of the random POIs are ginormus. I can't see the fun in that, I think I'll skip 10.3 for now. I hope the pimps adjust it a bit soon, I can't really imagine that this is intended. It's a shame you can't put an update on hold and update as you please, but since it's open access alpha and we are ...
