Game crash Inventory lost

Comment
    Crater Creator on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
That sucks. We have a pinned thread in the Bug/Crash Reports sub-forum with instructions if you want to report the crash. For getting your stuff back, you can open the console with F1, enter cm to enable the creative menu, then close the console and open the creative menu with U. I know it's not the same, but you can grab anything you lost.

So everyone who's responsible for their own bugs should sit idle and wait for the 1-2 devs that can fix performance?


TBH performance is top priority. We're going to be working directly with Unity staff to optimize the game.

Yeah, that is the fear. Designing a new physics interaction for just one thing is never feasible, after all. And once something like that gets out into the dev toolkit, it's only a short time before experiments happen.

Horrible, squishy experiments.

Take a look.

Is this because this is a safe, cute test of the jiggle engine before you add it to more horrifying things we don't want? Because that's the first thing I thought of.

Then I imagined it. And now I can't sleep at night, for the terror that awaits and looms with it's thick, greasy bulk...

There was no cute, safe test. Things went from zero to balls deep in a single video.

And before you ask, I'm making sure I'm allowed to share it before I actually do.

I used to think my buddy was a lunatic for mining resources at night (specifically Coal) until I realized.....

Why would you use coal as fuel

Back in 15 or so, it used to be much more efficient still. Like, 10 times wood efficient. It all changed when they brought in the first round of biome-specific mining and nitrate caves.

Remember, there was a person who spent time at work designing, coding and testing this animation and I can guarantee you the entire time was laughing about getting paid to do it.

We all saw things during this process. Dark, dark things.

This is no exaggeration.
Depending on the size of your map, and how much you explore and build, a "save" can be anywhere between 5 and 30GB of data on your drive. 30GB is the minimum recommended free space that the client will reserve for one when you start it.

As this is a voxel game, the client is constantly reading and writing data from a number of files in the save. It's not doing something periodically. You cannot copy out the files while it's running without risking... Read more

Manual/Auto save slots

Saves are quite large. Do you have 30-50GB of free space on your C: drive for just a couple of saves? 200-300GB free for several?

Question on Bloodmoons, heat, and safe bases

A couple of things.
1. Because you are out.
2. They don't build heat if they aren't running.
3. Heat isn't shared across chunk boundaries. If you have a forge in one chunk, and the forge sitting directly next to it is in another chunk, you can turn both of them on and it is only calculated as one forge because each is in a different chunk. A chunk is 16x16 blocks.

Zombie cue's for hearing loss

Originally posted by Teratus: In earlier builds of the game zombie footsteps were louder.

I preferred this myself not just because it made them easier to hear coming but it significantly added to the dread when I had to bunker down for the night and a horde would wander past my hide spot because I could never tell how close they were just by the footstep sounds which made every single movement or action a risk to take lol

The quieter footsteps greatly diminished this experience.

I found it annoying for precisely that reason, that the zombie sounded like it was RIGHT BEHIND YOU no matter the actual distance. There are only two senses you, the user in front of the screen, can use in this game: sight and sou... Read more

A few more that I am waiting for: 1. The Auger sounds are super annoying and too loud

I'm using the mod / method someone posted on here a while ago to lower the auger sound and change it to the "pick hitting material x" sounds. Auger is 200000% more pleasant to use.

https://www.reddit.com/r/7daystodie/comments/i467qt/how_to_remove_the_pewpew_sound_from_the_auger/

The auger sound will be fixed once there is new framework in place for its change to happen.
