Also, related to this. Will there still be the overlap in Weapon Tier vs Quality. Where a quality 6 stone axe could be better than a quality 1 iron axe?
Yes you move through the pipe shotgun skill pretty quickly. Each tier takes more magazines to move through.

There are now tons of new skills that govern unlocking and the quality of items in the game.

A few examples of crafting skills are shotguns, pistols, cooking, armorer, medical, etc.

Perks no longer unlock recipes or govern crafting skills. Many perks are being reworked to add value where before the main value was a recipe unlock.

Books no longer unlock recipes. The ones that did unlock items are being reworked to do something else.

All of the things mentioned are working in the base game. The issue is with your install, mods, or save.
Verify integrity of the game, remove all mods, create a new save. Test.
Then add each of the items you removed till the game breaks again, if it doesn't then try your save again.

We can consider it. Now that it requires great effort to reach the top skill level crafting Q6 doesn't feel so bad.

Right now there seems to be some unity between the three, so I can't tell which is the best. Like it's random enough you never know the best way to get the best weapon, just keep playing, looting and looking at traders, and craft when you can craft something better than what you found. The harder biomes have better loot so go to the wasteland for the best possible loot, if you dare.

Oh and I forgot to mention, but you can find the type of magazines you are after also by looting an appropriate type of crate. For example gun crates have gun magazines, pop n pills crates have medical magazines, mo power has tech mags, etc.

Learn by looting not LBD.

Well, the error indicates you put in 16000, not 16384?

But otherwise, I think the client currently has trouble with 16k worlds. Lie would be a bit of a strong word, As 16k worlds were supported in previous versions; Currently innaccurate though, yes. They reduced the default range of world sizes players can make to 12k (12288)

Yes. Sharp sticks magazine improves your spear skill.

Forge Ahead is back in the game too, with new art

I don't know what that is.



Yes you move through the pipe shotgun skill pretty quickly. Each tier takes more magazines to move through.
We're removing any overlap. There is still the concept that a purple stone axe has 4 mod slots so it would arguably be better in that regard.

Early game on insane is tedious. Zombies on that difficulty are HP sponges against primitive weapons, and players have no armor to even slightly protect them so a single hit from a zombie is almost half their health.

Most people don't like that tediousness. I'm one of them. The difficulty as a whole is fine- But the early game is just boring having to hit any zombie 30 times meanwhile it only has to hit me 2-3 times to kill me. And the tediousness just compounds when there's multiple zombies at once, and the random ferals at night, the dogs/wolves/bears that even on a lower difficulty with better weapons can be a death sentence for many...

Lotta reasons peeps don't like Insane.

Crafting skill is improved by finding magazines in the game. Mailboxes, file cabinets, book shelves etc can all contain various magazines that improve your skill.
Perking into shotguns for example, increases the odds of finding shotgun magazines, shotgun parts, and shotguns in loot. This makes early specialization work, and you are no longer at the will of the...

When you look at the Quests tab, what state is the quest in? How many quests are active? Also, are you using any mods, or have you used creative mode?

Turn on Feral Sense in the save options if you haven't yet. There's actually usually a moderate to large amount of zombies just roaming around, but their senses are too weak to find you most of the time. Feral sense changes that and makes it so, if a zombie is nearby, it's pretty likely to notice you.

Also to note, slaying zombies in a given area can/will clear it of zombies for awhile. So, whatever is your most trodden path will definitely have fewer zombies than a place you haven't been yet.

Yes, I've seen an artist making changes to other zombies.

No. It's specifically a non-combatant that provides non combat benefits depending on what mods you equip it with. It can apply medical supplies to you, offer a light source, have a fairly sizable inventory to stow loot in, and a couple other things.

Make sure you're at the trader you accepted the quest from. If you accept a quest from Trader A, you must return to Trader A to turn it in.

I doubt it's this, but, Armor type perhaps? Are you in heavy when they're in light?
