No way, I like the drone over more space in my vehicle (probably because I hate running out to the vehicle and hate leaving it where it might decide to pop off and vanish).
Most runs I don't even bother putting stuff in the vehicle now.

In my last playthrough I crafted both melee and guns at QL5 (but not lower than that) and also as many as I had parts for so I could pick the best of the bunch.


A lot depends on how you play, if in a group, where you go...

There are more ways to get parts than just looting.

I want a call drone key. That way I can tell it to stay but whistle when I need it.

Right now I keep the drone in my inventory till I clear a POI of Zs to avoid ti getting in the way. Then I bring the drone out and do the looting.

That's a tough one. I'm usually inclined to try single player first in a new game, even for a game that's intended for multiplayer. I can figure things out at my own pace, and not be a burden on more experienced teammates. But I also find that it's enjoyable to share knowledge with newer players. Veterans can live vicariously through new players as the newbies encounter things for the first time. Or if you have friends that are interested in getting in on the ground floor together, that sounds like a good time too. Just don't do PvP. :spazhorror:

I kid. You can do PvP if you want, but people are mean in PvP and it's less for the faint of heart.

If you're looking for people to play with, you can swing by the Meeting Room sub-forum.

Basically this. For a very long time the builders have asked for a lot of the available shapes to be removed from the creative menu and made available to normal players.
The biggest restriction to this was a limitation in how block shapes and recipes functioned. In a20 this issue was resolved with the new shape system, and it also unlocked the ability to have a much larger variety of block shapes than the game had previously.

If you don't like to see all of the shapes, turn on the simpler view, or limit it to looking at shapes you have favorited.

I don't think I would be wrong in sa... Read more

ok, lets cover these topics one at a time.

1. Removed the "looting system".
This was done to improve performance and optimize servers. Those entities were quite costly in terms of what the engine had to do with them. Especially on bloodmoon. Every zed having loot didn't have a lot of meaningful items either. A lot of it was just junk you had to sort and deal with.
So it was changed so that there isn't an entity hanging around after death, and the zeds drop lootbags with more meaningful contents. And to counter the drop in bone and nitrate from not having any entity to harvest, more gore blocks and other ways to get the items were increased.
In the end, it all balances out quite well.

2. Removed "eye" for sneaking.
It's the exact same display, but in a more meaningful design that actually gives you more accurate information. As for the sneak system as a whole, it's still a work in progress. There are a number of KI's listed regard... Read more

Pretty sure they mean Sea_Doo.

Water needs to be fixed first. There is already a template for a raft in the game.

Say, as long you have a world like that, could you verify something? Do all Rekts give you quests of the same tier, or do you have to go through the progression separately with each one of them?

They all have the same tier quests even though I have only done jobs for one of them. So I guess it is the same person and not tri...

Suit yourself, but this is the equivalent of complaining that your car stalls out but not letting anyone take a look at it.

7 Days is CPU bound, and clock speed matters a lot.
