Nothing happened. They were planned for a20.

Edit: Given your circumstances, it may be better for your friend to either stay inside the walls and attack from afar and maintain traps, Or for him to go off and battle his own horde night.

the only thing we have altered is make all zombie to walk, xp gain to max, and then something about shared xp to max distance...

not sure if that max distance thing matters here or not. but im going to assume that telling him to fight alone is going to be better for him regardless right ?

Well, having set XP gain to max will make the game much harder much faster (300% exp ... Read more

It works in one of two ways. 1: If the players are separated by more than a certain distance (100~meters?), then the horde night will spawn zombies specifically appropriate for each player individually- This means for the gamestage of each individual player, and yes, it will spawn twice as many zombies- If you have the game set to a horde count of 8, each player will get 8 zombies, up to the servers max zombie count. (EG: If you have it set to a horde of 64, but max zombie count of 80, then each player would get 40~ at a time.)

2: If the two(or more) players are near eachother, then the game will add and multiply their gamestages together and come up with a combined value for the involved players, using that to determine what kind of zombies should spawn- And each player will still receive an amount of zombies appropriate to them up to the limit: Meaning if you have a horde count of 8, and 4 players, you'll have 32~ at a time.

As for how group gamestage is deter... Read more

To clarify slightly, It is ideal to have your GPU fully utilized, but NOT for it to be overloaded when playing a game where the GPU is utilized strongly. 80-100% utilization is wonderful, it means your GPU is performing the tasks you're asking of it to the fullest of it's ability without being overloaded.

However if your GPU is hardlining 100% constantly at all times, and you're getting stutters, framreate dips, and inconsistent performance, then your GPU is overloaded- too much is being asked and it can't keep up.

Now, you don't exactly want a game to be using your GPU for no good reason- Something like Heroes of Hammerwatch using 100% gpu is just excessive. But if a game warrants and can utilize that 90-100% range without doing it for no reason, then you want it to, because otherwise you have excess power just sitting there doing nothing.

Wanting less than 90-100% utilization when it's doing it's job would be like buying 32 gigs of RAM and only ever... Read more

I'm assuming you're replying to Pisaro27. He is correct. It is desirable to have your GPU fully utilized.

Here is an older vid, but it explains the bottlenecks.

Would need more information. Please read the Pinned threads.

Originally posted by vgifford: Zombies beating on explosives, like gas barrels, will cause them to explode. The land claim block will make your blocks stronger but not indestructible.

Just to be clear, the LCB only makes blocks stronger against other players. It does nothing against zombies.

One other thing you could try is switching between full screen and windowed modes.

You could use the console command giveselfxp to get back to level 116.

I don’t understand the problem. Crafting ammunition does not require clay or clay soil. You smelt clay soil in the forge in order to have clay as an ingredient to forge the bullet tips and bullet casings.

The Sledge and Robotic turrets are not the same as the SMG and Shotgun turrets.

The Sledge/Robotic ones are meant to be like assistants to your character in the field, not a base defense. Only one will work at a time unless you have a high level Robotics skill, at which point 2 will work; always the 2 closest to your character. Further, they have a maximum range at which they can function, and will stop after that distance; this distance is increased by the Robotics perk as well.

Think of them as mobile placable defenses.

Stamina drain with auger and chainsaw is coming in a future alpha according to the devs.

I hope TFP make easy to mod and remove the stamina usage, because I don't agree with Auger and Chainsaw using stamina, even if in real life they are heavy and everything, in the game they already use gas to work, making it to use gas and stamina is unbalance, in my point of view, so I'm gonna mod it and remove the same way ...

TFP are actually working directly with the developers of Unity in optimizing the client code.

Again, do some damn research on Voxel engines, and how resource-intensive they can be. This isn't GTA-V.

Failing a quest doesn't prevent a POI from appearing in a quest in the future, or anything of the sort. Just means you have to get a new quest from a trader.

Originally posted by Blitz4: As an update. Found that Unity Pro and Enterprise do offer tech support from Unity. So the devs chose not to fix the issue.

You're making some hella assumptions right there. What if it could be fixed but required sacrificing some other major part of the game they didn't consider to be worth the loss? Or maybe they tried and tech support wasn't very helpful? Or something else?

Tech support isn't magic. They'll try to help- But it doesn't mean the help will be successful.

#1 is already there. You can see in your skills what books you have read.
#2 is just you denying the truth because it doesn't match your agenda. This is a Voxel game. Do some research.
In fact, test it yourself. Make a mod that makes it so that all the recipes show up unfiltered. Then watch your performance tank any time you open your inventory, a forge, or a workstation.

Originally posted by Blitz4: I was told that there is a limitation in Unity to show all craftable items in the crafting menu. I don't buy that excuse. Even if that is truly an issue at the moment, then adding #1 above would be a good temporary solution until #2 is added.

Just to answer this in isolation; Specifically, what I said was that too many recipes/blocks/etc available in a single crafting menu/inventory will cause FPS loss and inventory lag. It's totally doable- Easily even. But, it is, at least currently, detrimental to gameplay.

Try enabling creative mode some time; Most likely, when you have creative mode enabled, you'll notice a subtle lag in every inventory/menu related action; That's because every time you shift panels, or select an item in the inventory it reloads all the crafting lists and all available items. For some it's not as bad; But it very present, and very annoying- And not at al... Read more

I find that what feels most like a refrigerator, among what we can craft without cheating, is a 2-block-high stack of beverage coolers.

I've also been jonesing for an armoire for clothes, instead of having to use a stack of nightstands or the green metal lockers.

Yes. I was quite impressed when it handled as I expected it to.

The console version is a custom flavor of a14.7 with most of a15 content added, and some a16. It is in no way compatible with any PC version of the game.

The current version of the game client on the PC is light years ahead of the consoles anyway. I'm certain you won't miss your old world much once you start exploring all of the new features.
