Yeah there is no way you can exclusively use firearms IMO, there just isn't enough ammo.

I think it's way too early to make any judgements about farming right now. Play a full 70+ hour game then decide.

Yeah always have an exit plan. I actually bought all the parkour perks for once and did some crazy jump falls to escape one situation.

We didn't want it to be OP and make everyone feel like they needed INT to play the game, or feel excluded from Drones. If it gets much better it will feel like a must have. Right now it's ok to haul a little more loot around, but it gets in the way so it's kind of a trade off which is how it should be.

It does make it harder.
Perk level 0
2 fruit/veg + 50% chance of seed
Perk Level 1
4 fruit/veg + 50% chance of seed
Perk Level 3
6 fruit/veg + 50% chance of seed

So with a start of 50 fruit that convert to 10 seeds.:
WORST CASE:
Perk Level 0
20 Fruit + 0 seeds (worth 0fruit) = Loss 30 Fruit
Perk Level 1
40 Fruit + 0 seeds (worth 0fruit) = Loss 10 Fruit
Perk Level 3
60 Fruit + 0 seeds (worth 0fruit) = Profit 10Fruit

AVERAGE CASE:
Perk Level 0
20 Fruit + 5 seeds (worth 25 fruit) = Loss 5 Fruit
Perk Level 1
40 Fruit + 5 seeds (worth 25 fruit) = Profit 15 Fruit
Perk Level 3
60 Fruit + 5 seeds (worth 25 fruit) = Profit 35 Fruit

BEST CASE:
Perk Level 0
20 Fruit + 10 seeds (worth 50 fruit) = Profit 20 Fruit
Perk Level 1
40 Fruit + 10 seeds (worth 50 fruit) = Profit 40 Fruit
Perk Level 3
60 Fruit + 10 seeds (worth 50 fruit) = Profit 60 Fruit

If I'm not mistaken ammo thins out as game stage progresses to simulate things being more picked over.

Yes, it is intended per the A20 Experimental Release Notes[7daystodie.com]

Player planted crops now give 2 fruit per harvest with a 50% chance of a seed

Sleeper boars, probably a little shed or shack nearby that they came running from. Saw a POI like that the other day.

7. A couple on day 1, and a couple unfair ones in an attack volume. Nomad, feral sense, light armor agility build, 16 alive, no air drops. I wanted a challenge Bear den got me a couple times too.

Hmm. The release notes under environment art said "New Block Textures" which led me to think the opposite. I'll have to look out for this next time I get to painting.

I'm so happy to hear everyone is enjoying the new challenges of A20. I really enjoyed feral sense and the extra spawns downtown has. Random gen cities/towns have some areas that are sort of closed off so you can take a wrong turn and have to back out and be in serious trouble, where before it was so spread out you could always turn a corner and lose the pursuing zombies so having some dead ends was a great improvement.
Traveling at night on foot with feral sense on is pretty risky. Food management feels great to me and farming is a short bandaid to a constant problem. Eventually I got a lot of food, but I never was able to eat unlimited stews, I had to make whatever I could scrounge up, buy every can in every vending machine, kill every chicken, etc for at least the first 30 days. It feels good when you are constantly worried about honey/antibiotics/food. I never did get a surplus of big med kits or casts in my 70 some day game, and I had so many times I was beat up with 4+ ...

Yes, If you're in the wasteland, Zombies respawn almost instantly. It's a wasteland specific thing and is fully intended.

However, Unlike a blood moon, You can sneak from them, and hide from them- But if you're firing off guns like crazy, they will hear you from afar, and they will come right for you.

They have been that way for a long time. They're intended to be used in the POI editor, and you can turn them on or off there. Same with all of the other POI lights and torches.

Dropping this here, since apparently reading the Patch Notes is hard for some people

Originally posted by SylenThunder: ...
Server Administration and Multiplayer To future-proof our game, including allowing us to use the latest anti-cheat and expanding to other platforms later on for future crossplay capabilities, we added Epic Online Services (EOS) to the game. For regular players this should not have any noticeable effect, you do NOT need an account on Epics platforms. EOS only knows your SteamID which is public anyway and matches that to an ID for EOS that is only valid for 7 Days to Die.

You might disable EOS in the config file for crossplatform.

Edit platform.cfg to change crossplatform=EOS to crossplatform=

Be aware though that this will change your base character file on your saves and any servers you played on before changing this setting.

It will most likely also prevent you from participating in any further cross-platform multiplayer activities, like when they release the next console version.

And you aren't forced to "run through EOS", it's just a new protocol to support future cross-platform play. Could be with Epic, could be with other things.

And in case you weren't already aware, Epic is who owns EAC. So you've been using their service for years already.

The stealth check is in there. It is per zombie.

Regarding the latter half, Likely residual spawns from the prior evening- Or you're in/near areas where the 'game stage' the zombies are spawned by has been increased due to being a higher tier area/biome.

No don't.

Nitrogen died before a19 went stable. It will not function with a20.
If you want a custom map now, you will use KingGen, but only after it updates for a20.

There are more of everything. More zeds, more animals. Go walking around the forest a bit. You'll run into a few nasty things.
