You get quite a bit of XP upgrading concrete to steel and placement mistakes are 1/2 as hard to fix.

Block: Iron Garage Door 3x2 (Powered) // ironGarageDoor_PoweredBlockVariantHelper

Summary: When using the radial menu to pick up one of the placed doors you do not get the VariantHelper block back.

Instead you get the individual door variant back which can not be shape (colour) selected again.

Player-crafted dew collectors return 1 dew collector when destroyed.

Right, the muffler thing. I had kinda forgotten about that one.

Definitely a LOT more streamer-friendly than vanilla.

Added the super corn recipe mod.

Some of it is RNG but mostly on the item drops. Crafting goes up pretty much as planned because with so many rolls it evens out.

For me, I do go out looting whenever I can but ended up crafting a lot of my gear. In A20 I might have crafted 1 or 2 pieces tops.

Crafting is definitely a lot more viable now, especially since you can craft items with 4 mod slots.

Eventually looting will get you the final version of your stuff but... given the 4 mod slots a lot of QL5 gear can now be better than QL6 so even that is not a huge difference any more.

And "eventually" is something in the vicinity of lvl 75-90 so that's gonna be a while.

I run my own server and I changed anything that I perceived too broken, buggy, messy or bothersome in any way, shape or form.

These are all XML modlets and have a high chance of being compatible with other mods that don't try to change the exact same lines.

Less violent bird nest destruction.

Looting one no longer sounds like you're taking down a door with a sledgehammer.

We're looking into it.
Are there any VODs with timestamps that would help us find it faster?

Handguns vs bows is firepower vs stealth.

Bow vs crossbow is obviously a sidegrade where you choose high mobility vs maximum sneak attack damage. If you really like bows and run&gun often, a bow can actually work well while a crossbow gets your ass bitten.

If you're not the sneaky type then yes, a rifle will beat a crossbow in most cases. But then you should go Perception.

It's rather the magnum/vulture that have no real niche in the game and were added purely for coolness, bloating the attribute even more. =P

Balance is not done and will continue to change right up to gold.

It is not sound. My own personal theory, since this is not real, is your scent from touching the parts combined with vibrations, makes them interested. I could say the same for the cement mixer. Your feet tapping the ground as you walk around could really do it too. Next up...sand worms.

So DVulture/SMG are T3 ranged, yet they are treated even worse than other T2 ranged.

If they dropped on a T2 loot table it could be reasonable but no, they are actually harder to find than other weapons since Vulture/SMG share the slot when an agility firearm is rolled to drop.

Compound bows do use the T2 quality and loot template so they drop much earlier and at higher quality.

Your preferred weapon already dropped half as likely and now you get shafted on mod slots compared to other T3 ranged.

Who hates the agility attribute so much?

Summary:

T3 ranged weapons have 3 entirely different setups for mod slots per quality level, even inconsistent inside the same weapon class.

AI will randomly attack or jump if they think they are stuck. One of those checks is if they are making forward progress over time. Sometimes it appears to even happen when walking slowly up a slope just out in the world. It certainly could use more tweaking, when I have the time.

That's coming in A21 yet lol. There will be an option to disable it though

It think you mean events, not triggers. An AI director chunk event actually covers 5x5 chunks. It stores them in a List, so you could have tens of thousands or more of them, but code may start running noticeably slower as you add thousands of them.

You may want to use very short duration events, so you don't accumulate a lot.
