The trader zone is, in effect, a land claim zone with infinite durability.

Your Land Claim dead zone in the settings is a value greater than 0; So there must be an amount of blocks between the edge of the trader zone, and the start of your zone to equal the dead zone value.

EG: A deadzone of 15 means there must be 15 blocks between the last unbreakable block of the trader, and the first block of your own claimed area.

Many of the things you mentioned did seem to help smooth things out, thank you!

So, there is no tweaking or modding i could do to get this game to utilize more of my CPU?

I have a good cooler. Cool master but i forget what specific model it is. My comp idles around 30 and barely ever touches 80 even under heavy load.

No UNET and RakNet were dumped with the update to Unity 2017. Now Unity uses LiteNetLib, and disabling it will actually tank network performance because it adds a lot of data stream optimizations.

Originally posted by Dragonborn Operative: how is making things / players or ai slower on Barbed wire considered 'OP' ?

The issue wasn't that it slowed players or AI. It was, specifically, that the player could place it against a wall and the zombie would never actually walk into and thus damage, the barbed wire, yet were slowed because the effect is applied to the entire blockspace, that was an issue.

Players then doubled down on this by realizing they could set barbed wire at foot level, and some kind of partial block above it and make it so zombies would never, under any circumstance, cause any damage to the barbed wire due to collision boxes.

The slow isn't OP. The infinite slowing effect with no reso... Read more

Hyper-threading is disabled on that CPU, so you aren't likely to ever get it above 50%. If you aren't on a Z-series board, you probably aren't ever going to see the full potential of the turbo clocks either. If you don't have a good tower cooler, then it's just going to get thermal throttled also.

Turn off GSync for this title. It's not going to do you any good, and has been known to tank performance.

Your resolution should be no higher than 1080p, and I would recommend video settings similar to this....

I would also recommend trying with the exclusive fullscreen option from the launcher enabled.

Oh, and don't forget to set the power plan for both the OS and the GPU to Maximum performance. Would also be useful to lock FPS to 60 in the Nvi... Read more

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.

Originally posted by Bane of Kree: yeah leave it to modders to make the game better. lol

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.

Originally posted by MechBFP: The fact of that matter is that it makes no sense for the crucible to unlock so late for a gameplay perspective. It is impossible to get one earlier unless you were lucky enough to put points in better barter or play multiplayer and can get one from someone else, because it doesn't come up in loot until like game stage 100 or something long after you already have one. 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.
