Left click is primary action, right click is alt action; Did you rebind right click to some other alternative button? If not, it sounds like something in your installation broke, and starting with verifying your install would be the best first step.

There are other reasons to want a release. Many people, myself included, have worked on other features. They want their work out there too and we also want feedback on those changes. Waiting on features often leads to a feedback loop of, while other devs waited, they did stuff, so you now need to wait for that to be done, so others do stuff and you wait. Where does it end??? I'd rather make dates and get new things out on some regular basis. If not done, then feature skips to next release.

It truly was edge of your seat stuff. The bugs, the raid, the splatter, the cleanup. High fives all around.


As I was saying.......

Do you have Creative Mode or Cheat Mode enabled (the latter of which functionally just auto-enables the former)? Both of these give you an extended inventory with every single item in the game in it, which whenever you open your inventory or open an object gets loaded up and made ready even if you aren't looking at it. This adds a fairly noticable delay/freeze to any inventory function from opening to searching the crafting list, to trying to move items around.

Nothing with bandits is confirmed. They need to reach a certain functionality and quality level before initial release and we are short on time for A21.

I can confirm 7DtD will, repeat will have zombies in time for Halloween. :tank:

Have you tried decorating with Jack-o-lanterns? I believe they were added for Halloween one year, but now we can craft and place them year-round.

Okay. I’ll object to the assertion that there’s no believable scenario where towns aren’t always connected by paved roads. This is the zombie apocalypse, with some hints that a nuclear war has occurred. And cutting off roads & bridges is a standard strategy in warfare. It may have plausibly been months or years since a government existed with the capacity to rebuild and maintain infrastructure. So paved roads between towns need not be guaranteed.

1 I have done AI, anim controller and weapon work for them, and have them spawning as wandering bandits, but there is a lot more work to be done.

2 General bugs.

3 Fixing bugs does not make for cool screenshots.

Yes, since we will want bandits doing some idle movements, but it will probably be confined to their volume or part of the volume. Zombies would just use it too.

I agree RasaNova it was one of the first EA games to show up. I also purchased abpout the same time, Starforge and The Dead Linger, both games failed EA never to be finished due to inept management and development.

Early Access title have been both good and bad. You, the consumer are really banking/betting on individuals that may or maynot "show-up" so to speak. They may or may not have the talent, responsibility or ambition to see the project through.
You really aren't though- At least on ste... Read more

Yes, Alpha 1-5 were pre-Steam but also in 2013. Nope, in 2013 it was still A5. No, it has not been 10 years, yet.
As for Steam releases - Just a short summary of the timeframe till A7:
2014-02-28 - Alpha 7 is out!

I thought I could manually change the day (not the date in game), so I could simulate a bloodmoon. I just should have let the time go by faster...
It is a 'regular' tool in the Debug mode; Not the user mode. The debug mode is not..hm.. 'Babyproofed'? That might be a bit of an insulting way to put it, but I do not mean any insult by it.

What I mean is that it's not strictly intended to be accessed by users, It just isn't locked away from them- To use developer/debug mode is to subject yourself to the results of something that is not part of the typical user experience; And it isn't tweaked or adjust... Read more

You can look at it either way. Having Pack Mule frees up mod slots for other things on your clothing, OR having pocket mods frees up skill points to be used on things other than Pack Mule. If you’ve already bought Pack Mule, you can recycle the skill points with Grandpa’s Fergettin’ Ekixir.

A common experience is also to ‘outgrow’ the need for unencumbered backpack spots once you have a vehicle that can hold a lot on its own.

Just to make a statement on it; While I appreciate the urging to lock the thread, Unfortunately, This thread doesn't actually break any rules- at least as far as I interpret them.

The closest and most applicable rule I can think of is

Intentionally posting to disrupt, evoke negative reactions, or spread misinformation. Provoking others into arguments for the sake of starting a flame war (including as a response to someone else breaking the rules).
But, while I could see the title and phrasing of the post to be seeking to evoke negative reactions and other things cited within the rule, I just don't think there is enough objective proof of such intentions at this time to take action regarding it.

And, Near as I can tell, the lawsuit cited is in fact in the court system, supported by another source; So it's not mis... Read more

Notenoughinfo.jpg ; No need to be stirring the pot before info on the case is even available to general public. Could be a frivolous suit, or a serious one- We don't know.

So there are two types of wolves, regular and dire. Dire wolves are larger, tougher, and have black fur and glowing eyes. You would do well to sneak around any dire wolves in the early game.

In all biomes tougher enemies, like dire wolves and bears, will spawn at night. The night isn’t scary without danger, right? :buzzed: It’s okay to lay low and not attract attention until you’re ready to face the nighttime dangers.

The limitation is intentional for performance reasons. Hopefully this will change in the future.

They lowered the default difficulty by one level in recognition that the game got harder. Different biomes are made to have different difficulties now, with the snow biome being the second hardest. If you don’t like the difficulty in the snow biome, you can stay in the green forest. Vultures only appear in certain situations. I recommend using firearms on them, and building a roof to your base so that they can only come at you at eye level.

I love the idea of Rekt chortling to himself as he zips through an untraceable network of underground tunnels to insure he, and only he, is personally there to pop up at each and every trader compound. :cozycastondeath:

P.S. Please only ask about and share specific seeds in the pinned thread in the Survivor Stories sub-forum, so that others have one central place to look.

That error message alone is not detailed enough to help you. Please see the pinned thread in the Support & Bug Reports section for instructions on how to report an issue there.
