Yes, behind the scenes those are faces of some of the developers. Will they play a role as characters in the story? That remains to be seen. It doesn’t seem likely to me, but on the other hand some of the traders (the only NPCs we’ve seen so far) are modeled after devs or real people associated with the devs.

100% GPU load is desirable. It's only an issue if you don't have proper cooling.

One of the main issues with it is the slow that is applied. The slow affects the entire block space, and not only when touching the thin barbed wire section. This was quite easily exploited and was being used in a fashion that was not intended.

No, they aren't making the game "better". They're assisting you to make the game the way you want it. The Fun Pimps will design the game the way they want it to be, with the challenges they intend for the game to have.
You should feel lucky that they support modding as much as they do, and have opened up nearly every aspect of the game to be changed at your leisure.

Screenshots would help. Ideally from multiple angles. It's most likely though that there's a very thin pole somewhere holding it up though.

Most recently, it’s the way the outer walls of this cabin I’m prefabbing catch the light at night. The specular highlights ‘glisten’ in a way that’s appropriate for a horror movie.

When this was introduced as a player-craftable item, they questioned whether it should remain. It was almost removed before the build containing it even went stable, but they decided to leave it in and see how things went.
It was shown to be extremely OP and easily exploited by players, and was removed as a result. It is not likely to make a return in the Vanilla client, but is stupid easy to mod back in to the crafting recipes.

Recipes can drop at any stage of the game, with basically no limit on when; Though I believe the crucible recipe specifically is slightly skewed towards a higher gamestage(but can still appear even at level 1, with incredible luck.)

That said......Iron is not 'sub par'. Iron IS par. Steel is the hole in one or birdie. You can do tons with T2 equipment and armor.

Progresison is Stone->Iron->Steel. There's nothing after steel- Once you have steel, you're done. You'll never find better, ever. So you really shouldn't be into steel anything before day 21 at the earliest without some incredible luck.

Edit: Electric tools exist, but, frankly, i consider them sidegrades to steel tools; not upgrades. They're a lot more trouble than they're worth imo. But even including them, Iron is par.

That’s a head scratcher, but I’m glad you got it fixed. :steamhappy:

It should show up rarely in the traders even without better barter at the very le...

This is intended. You can find a crucible earlier, or get one from another player or trader, and still craft steel without level 5.
Yeah; this. You can craft steel from the start of the game, the only thing preventing you from doing so is whether or not you have a crucible, which can be acquired from a number of different sources. One of those sources happens to be rank 5 of advanced engineering- But t... Read more

Support for Nitrogen is discontinued. The word on the street is that the author has gone on to work on other projects. Since the mod is currently several versions behind the stable release, and is known to cause issues, you are advised against using it.

There isn't really a way to do that. But, you could enable creative mode and spawn in the approximate amount of missing materials.

F1 to open the console, type in "cm" without the quotes and hit enter, then exit the console by hitting F1 again, and hit the U key- Should bring up a menu full of items which has a search bar at the top. Spawn whatever you need to, then exit creative when you're done.

Note that this will only work in SP or on a server in which you are an admin.

Ok, so it's a newer entry-level laptop. Probably very similar to this HP Pavilion[www.amazon.com].

I mean, at least HP didn't slap the Alienware sticker on it and charge you double, but it's not really a gaming PC.

30FPS seems a little odd though. You should be able to hit 60FPS. What are your settings configured to?

More specific details are needed, but you've probably got a pretty weak CPU since it's a laptop.
Other games aren't 3D Voxel games will fully destructible terrain, structural integrity calculations on every block, or a complex AI. Other games only really care that you have a decent GPU. 7 Days will tax your entire package.

If you can give much more specific details on your hardware, we can give you better information.

Also note that you're at the Min Spec for RAM, so you're going to want to shut down most other software and background applications before you fire up the client.

There weren't any changes to difficulty in the client. Just a few bug fixes and stability optimization.

This sounds like a video driver issue, but there is nowhere near enough information to diagnose it.

If you like to watch the pot boil, you can press F1 when the game is responsive to open the console and see more information on what it’s doing.
