34 hours into a game using Nitrogen a lot of mods no bugs of issues so far.

So you're lucky. Good for you.

It doesn't change the fact that using Nitrogen poses a much greater risk of incurring game-breaking issues what will impair your ability t... Read more

UPS are the worst possible purchase ever, at least for home use. Better to invest in the protection of the main electrical panel, where you can get multiple safety devices and voltage correction filters at better prices than any similar quality UPS. Without considering the fact that in the worst case scenario, as mentioned by a user, you will have secured not only your PC, but also all the appliances you have in your home. The fact is that if there is no energy anyway, there is nothing to monitor. And as rare as these events are, who among you has never had any? :)

My current Navezgane save folder is 960 MB.

I've had personal saves up to 12GB, and the servers I run have been up to 30GB. That's still quite a large bit of data to be writing t... Read more

If it's as pronounced as you say, that's a huge design...

The game is constantly saving to disk as you play; every step you take, every block you damage or break, every item you pick up, every minute that passes by. That very nature is exactly why a sudden power outage will shatter the save file- There's a reason every game under the sun warns you not to power off the system or close the game while the save icon is present on the screen. Interrupting the save causes save fragmentation/corruption; As now only a part of the changes are written to disk when it needs all of them to have a functioning save.

So, what we don't need is auto-save; It already autosaves, constantly. What it lacks is a working backup system. A big problem there though is that unlike most other games where save files are measured in 50-100kb, or maybe 5-25mb at most, values that can be, practically speaking, instantly saved with little impact on performance, 7dtd saves start at 250+mb and grow from there to in excess of 1gb and more depending on how ...

It's pretty neat that people will have a chance to explore this new feature in Alpha 19, instead of waiting for Alpha 20 when it'd be overshadowed by other features.

You two sure confused me with those identical avatars.

Originally posted by erikh5027: Yes, I saw that in A20 or what not there will be sliders to customize your map a little better. Also, I am OK with similar results, to a point...One of my maps is decent. I suppose I was more curious if the Valley, Territory, Mountains, or County had any significant play, and which may be flatter if any of that changes anything. Thanks Mardoin for the input.

No, there’s no coherent relationship between the seed name and the specifics of the map.
