Any electrical object can only recieve one Input line, but can put out a number of Output lines. IN order to do what you want you need to wire the camera to the plate to the door (Or plate camera door) -- Note there cannot be anything in the line between the plate and camera or else the first in line will determine if the next one functions. When they're both wired directly together (Read: No relays) they should both be capable of powering anything down the line, in this case, the door.

I'm not trying to be whiny, i know this game is in alpha but isn't this point in the dev cycle the time for these discussions? also there need to be more junk type items added to the game for immersion's sake. in fallout 4 for example, you don't just find scrap plastic, you...

Water is still stored in the chunks we already have. It will just not be as blocks.

Vehicle tinting and mods have already been worked on and should be in a20. Three of the mods need code support, but it is not major work.

Not sure, but currently water blocks just convert to the new water data format.

that kinda makes sense. but if that is the route the devs wanna take then they need to find an immersive way to convey that fact. not everyone will assume that.
I don't think it's much of an assumption. More of a deduction...There is no w... Read more

It is not. Cross play unfortunately counts not just for between PC and Consoles, but also between PC, and Mac, and Linux.

The consoles are unfortunately on an entirely different version of the game created by a different company than TFP; and while after some troubles TFP did regain the rights to the console version they intend to finish the PC version before looking into fixing up the console one to match. In the interim, since they are two different games essentially, PC/Mac/Linux cannot crossplay with the consoles- But in the future when/if consoles get the updated versions of the game, crossplay between console and ...

A20 NEWS!!!!!!!
Started on the water overhaul this week. I'm working on the water chunk data and another programmer will be doing simulation/mesh changes.


My plan is water will not be a block, but additional chunk data, which is a pretty big change. It makes more sense, since any block could have water in it while still being whatever block it is.

I'm going to move this to General Discussions, because it asks for ideas & opinions rather than knowledge base questions with objective answers.

To elaborate, crafting quality is tied to the skill that bolsters the items effects. EG: to raise bow and crossbow crafting quality, you raise the archery skill in agility. Or for clubs you raise the club skill in strength. Or for tools like the pickaxe you raise the miner 69er skill in strength, and so on.

This goes a bit off topic, but I'm going to address it anyway..


If you can drive a car and hit 200mph on a straight away, it means you can go around a curve at 200mph, then, right?

Or if you can eat a whole small pizza, you can eat a whole party pizza?

Or that since you can draw well in crayon, you can paint a great oil painting?


Witcher 3 is a great game and all, But many of it's visual elements are prebaked, It's ram needs are quite a lot lower than 7dtd (7dtd will happily use upwards of 10-16gb of ram depending ... Read more

I love new Unity versions, but as we are getting into a gold mindset and have been talking to Unity, we plan on using LTS releases. A20 should be on 2019.4 LTS and next year hopefully move to the 2020 LTS for A21, so would be able to get those benefits.

Not likely. Vehicle speed is limited by chunk loading speed. Last week I make an improvement to chunk deco spawning speed, but a lot more would have to be done to the total speed.

No. The current one may get a few tweaks and will probably go stable within a month.


A lot of team time is now going into A20.

It would be a performance issue in the current way it works. We need a corpse manager that deletes oldest/farthest corpses, in addition to the current timer.

Many sounds originate from the player. Hopefully that gets improved someday.

From what you described, there is no bug here that i can tell. When you log out during a quest, the quest is returned to it's initial state; This happens regardless of whether or not you logged out, crashed, were kicked, or what have you.

However, to prevent abuse of this system, it also often forces a cooldown on the quest to prevent you from starting the quest, looting the POI, logging out, logging in, and starting the quest again to refresh the area.

The quest isn't 'Failed' because you didn't fail it, but you can't start it again because it's on cooldown; So long as the quest remains in your quest log, you should be able to just come back in an ingame day or two and you should be able to attempt it again...Or just abandon the quest and accept a new one.

There is a prototype of third person mode that can be accessed via developer/debug mode; But that requires him to have administrative privlege to the server where he's using it; Or for the permission level of the 'dm' command to be set low enough that he can access it.

As it's an unfinished feature, there's currently no other way to access it.

Is the chorizo pork or beef? i've wanted to try it but i'm allergic if it's pork, i normally get a large #1 with cheese and extra pickles
Chorizo is pork, pork fat and spices.
