It's been planned since they first started. They have also always said it would be one of the last features added.

Asked like twice a month. Learn to look around before asking a question please.

also why is the game considered "fully released" on console when it is on alpha 20ish now on pc and still "early release" on pc and features on console, arent even current with the current pc edition? doesn't that mean the game isn't really "complete" for console?

The console isn't supported atm not because TFP don't want to, but because they Can't.

The telltale mess was definitely a mess- But one of the actions they took before finally going bankrupt was to officially release the console port as a finished game- No longer an early access/pre-access/whatever the console equivalent is. This change isn't reversible- The game is officially released on console.

The problem with being officially released is that both the Sony and Microsoft console storefronts have rules that explicitly prohibit developers from issuing updates to released games that would break save compatibility with existing saves- This is something that is allowed for early access titles as they are understandably in-progress products, But disallowed for released titles.

And therein lies the problem- Every major version of the game since like A12 or so(?) has broken save compatibility with the version before it.. The console is on A15/A16; PC is on... Read more

Probably some of the achievements didn't make sense anymore and/or have changed meaning as the game has changed so much, and rather than tack on a few new ones to match the old art style, they just budgeted art time to redo the whole set. There might even be additional bandit or story-related achievements planned which users haven't seen yet. The old ones didn't seem particularly memorable to me.

It is not a new system, just an improvement of the current system.


I would like to see some indicator of high damage. Might just start with particle smoke coming off them.

Not sure. I would guess the new player outfit models would change how the arms look, but don't know if that includes the hands.

The ambiguity of the “moved or deleted” message is bad. Every moderator has acknowledged this many times. We can’t change it. Assuming “moved or deleted” must mean deleted is also bad. What’s not bad is having a forum organized by type of thread. :buzzed:

Thread closed for discussing moderation.

To avoid users confusion?

Nah... better to "move or delete" 10 topics per day
Best would be if people would learn how to use a forum properly in the first place.

Why introduce a complex process to replace something that already exists? There is a reason people rent dedicated game servers.

It was a question. It was moved. Much like this thread is a question, and it will be moved.

When in doubt, check your post history. There is a link to it right over there. --->

Also note that the message you get from Steam says "This item was moved or deleted." Why on earth would you assume the latter, and not the former?

The issue with laptops and 7 Days is that 7 Days requires a lot of CPU power. Laptops don't have much to begin with, and when they warm up they throttle the CPU speed to below recommended specs.

You'll probably be better off with a top tier AMD 3rd-gen or better, but you're taking a lot of loss when you go for portability.

You connect to the server port. The IP + 2 is the port used to advertise the server to the server lists.

So if you set up your server on 23000, you have the following connections.
23000 TCP initial handshake
23000 UDP main connection
23001 UDP (Steam communication)
23002 UDP (Steam's master server list interface)
23003 UDP (Networking via LiteNetLib)

EOS is just for authentication to support more platforms that Steam does. It's no different from Steam authentication.
Neither have any impact on performance or network latency.

Since this topic really has nowhere further to go, I'll shut it down. OP needs to get an education.

EOS doesn't affect your ping.

The effect of hot weather is, in my opinion, pitiful. You'll have to drink more often. That's it.

Anyway, ShadedMJ is correct. Put on clothing with a heat resistance value. Invest in the Well Insulated perk. Take a dip in any water source for temporary relief.

There is no charcoal in the game. There is coal, but this is a raw ingredient found from several sources, not something you craft.

With a broken leg, whenever you sprint or jump you take damage... So yes, Jumping over and over and over and over again while trying to nerd pole could easily have killed you.

Edit: To answer the stated question, No, There's no system to kill you for nerdpoling. You just died to damage from your leg.. Possibly from a vulture smacking you too, as you got close enough to the top to spawn them maybe.

Beware, For forges, any materials currently melted within the forge will vanish- Craft it all out as items or raw material before picking it up.

Currently in A20 you can't find any functioning workbenches. They're all destroyed; So you have to either craft them yourself or buy them from a trader.
