Originally posted by Kara: People saying you can wheelie, it is no longer functional. Try climbing up a simple hill. You have to put the powerful vehicle in your pocket and walk up it...I'm sad...

I’ve climbed many a mountain on a bike in previous alphas (usually to retrieve an airdrop, or clear fog of war on the map). It was never easy, with or without the little hop function. I just checked it in A21, and I can climb hills - what the RWG actually calls hills - with no problem on a motorcycle.

For mountains, I seriously consider going around. Because, like with any version I can recall since the introduction of more vehicles, coaxing your way up just isn’t very fun, except to prove you can out of spite.

Half a mil for Trader Jen? or including the recording studio / agency type of things aswell?

My understanding was that it was the cost for the artist. They already had the studio set up.

Originally posted by Amins: It's probably just some random chick that works with TFP so they don't have to hire VAs. Every other trader is voiced by the same dude and has been that way for years. There was a time when even Jen was voiced by that guy. Nothing to complain about, though. They do a fine job. Just kinda wish there was more variety in performance for the rest of the traders. Joel and Bob have the exact same personality and Hugh/Rekt just switch it to a grumpy voice.

Yeah, this feedback is confusing given how the game actually works currently. As far as "completely breaks immersion" I'm on the opposite side. It breaks immersion how you can pick up any 5 rocks off the ground and start a fire with them. I can't do that. In fact, even a primitive survival expert isn't likely to pull that off. And this is a survival game. Back when I made a mod for the game, I changed the recipe so you can't start a fire without an ember.

P.S. If the OP's thesis for this thread amounts to thoughts on losing empty jars, please see the existing thread on that topic instead.

That feels pretty close. It's been a few years, but I recall the actress had done a lot of anime as well.

When it is ready. You aren't going to get a different answer. Steam EA rules for developers prohibit giving a guesstimate even.

Originally posted by Dr. Rockso: The icon will look like an open book if you have already read it.

This. The small icon in the corner of the item is a closed book if you haven't read it, and an open book if you have.

Take note of those icons in the corner- They all signify something, For example, a gear icon is a modded item, an explosive icon is something that goes boom, a trio of shapes is a building block with multiple shapes accessible via the shape menu, etc.

The 10240 map is bigger so, if anything, it’s going to perform worse than the 6040. But I agree that the effect on frame rate (as opposed to, say, time for your friends to download it) may be negligible.

Regarding the Blood Moon count, be aware that while you have it set to 64 concurrent zombies per person, there’s a separate, overriding limit for total zombies loaded on the server at once. I believe this is also around 64 by default.

If you’re willing to take one for the team, you might run the dedicated server on your new machine with (I presume) better specs, and connect as a client to play from your old gaming laptop.

The biggest issue you're going to have hosting a server on that machine is the obsolete CPU that is below min spec, and will fall even further below min spec when it gets warm. You have 4 CPU cores, not 8.

Also, don't upgrade to 11. Wipe it and run headless Linux. That will help a little bit with having a pathetic craptop CPU. Not using the 980M for a fancy display will keep the heat down a little bit too.

Also note that if you have the original platter drive that shipped with the laptop, you are not going to have a good time.

C. They calculate the path of least resistance from their current location to your location without regard for visual blockage- Much to some people's annoyance.

This does mean, however, that you CAN trick them in other ways, though I'll leave it to you to figure out if you're so inclined.

But the general rule is that they will take the path of least resistance based on
A: total block HP (doors count as half their actual HP to reflect the possibility of it being open or closed at any given time),
and B: least time taken- If it would take them longer to break the block(s) obstructing their
path than to walk around to an open path, they'll walk around.

and will redirect if that path changes... And they only check so far around themselves, so extensive horizontal mazes will mostly just make them burrow through in one area instead of taking the maze despite the fact that the maze is, objectively, an open path for them to walk through.

Originally posted by Shaken_Widow: idk why people are going all in on the "it's a brand" when joel was literally the only trader originally and the reason they haven't added new audio is just laziness lol.

they didn't record new greetings for the stores when they added the other traders, and they probably never will considering they're going all in on the "brand" path.

It’s because when they added more traders they kept the Traitor Joel sign for every trading post so that every one was a Traitor Joel’s run by different NPCs

It wasn’t until A21 with the big art update that each trader got their own signage with their own name on it. So it’s obviously evolving but there was a point where it very much was set... Read more

Could be they’re changing them to separate stores and the loud speaker message not changing is an oversight. Originally they were all Traitor Joel’s. Maybe eventually the messages will change to “Bob’s Salvage”.

The name of the store is “Traitor Joel’s”. The person working in the store is Bob. The announcement is like saying “Kmart is now open” or “Macy’s will be closing soon”. It doesn’t matter what the name of of the manager working the Kmart or the Macy’s is.

Originally posted by Dr. Rockso: i'm fine with my current solution which is to just not have the mats in my inventory.

Basically this. If I only want to upgrade to a certain level, I make sure I don't have any of the next level mats in my bag.

Thread cleaned up. We need everyone to respect the forum rules, which prohibit disparaging remarks towards each other, and also prohibit backseat copyediting (pointing out someone's poor English, unsolicited). Consider this the warning to all.

I'm not saying it's impossible, mind you, but even the most dedicated and rich collectors in the USA probably only have a "cheap" knockoff of the real thing. Heck, I think nowadays it would be difficult to find a good one even in modern Japan !

Why not make one out of scrap? Our character can make really high quality weapons ...

Yes, You learn crafting recipes from the books now. But the associated skill raises your chance to find that particular book too for each rank- So, you didn't strictly "waste" your time leveling up grease monkey, as it does gain you benefits despite not directly giving you the recipe now. You'll be finding far more books more often than someone without that skill and that'll let you be able to craft a given vehicle much sooner because of it.
