Hello Survivors!

 

While testing we were able to unearth and fix a few more issues.

 

Here is what changed since b15:

 

Changes

  • Trader POIs are now excluded from the chunk reset system. This avoids issues with resetting player-rented vending machines
  • Increased the block range of spears

 

Fixes:

  • Error while saving player file in some disconnect scenarios 
  • Argument Exception from hitting object with vehicle
  • NRE with GameManager+ freezes zombies and other entities on dedicated servers

For violation of forum rules of course. A notification was given to offending parties. It should also be noted that discussing moderation actions is a violation as well. Might take a few to familiarize yourself with ... Read more

I mean, the OP basically described exactly what would happen if you performed those actions and did not watch your health.

He didn't describe a bug. He described ignorance of an existing game mechanic. It isn't like he just suddenly died out of nowhere. He was busy repairing his base. Performing an action repetitively that would decrease his health in each occurrence of the action.

If he wants to provide evidence to the contrary, then maybe it could be presented as a bug. Then we would need definitive information like a log and video of reproducing the event. He hasn't been back since posting though, so we have no fur... Read more

You get an audial warning on each "attack" when your arm is sprained.
A normal attack is 1hp per use. A power attack/repair is 4hp per use.

You do get both visual UI and audio feedback when you hit 25% hp.

The only reason the OP died, is because they weren't paying any attention to their character.

The numbers on the left are you 'digesting' your food/water; Your actual hunger/thirst bars are at the bottom below the hotbar- The green and blue bar being hunger and thirst respectively. You can also view the actual value in the character menu stats screen.

Moving to General Discussions because this is a matter of opinion rather than an objective knowledge base kind of question.

You get it by opting into the unstable experimental build.

Ark does this with the menu music. It doesn't work. You still get blasted with a few seconds of music before the settings get loaded.

Party gamestage multiplies a little oddly, +1 player is actually the biggest leap in difficulty, and it trails off after that.

They get sorted from highest to lowest, then multiplied by the starting weight with the weight being modified down with each additional player.

Here's the blurb from the gamestages xml:
Originally posted by Gamestages.xml: This is how the game stage (GS) of a PARTY is calculated:

The GS of all players in the party are calculated.
The players are sorted by GS.
The highest GS number is multiplied by "startingWeight".
This then loops down the list and "startingWeight" is multiplied by "diminishingReturns" every time.
The final result is then converted to an INT that rounds down.

Example:
Players with GS 204, 30, 60, 91, 5, 1, 2, 80
startingWeight= 1, diminishingReturns=0.5 (defined in this xml file below)

So we get
204 * 1.0000...

Wiki is outdated and not up to date with A21. In A21, you no longer unlock crafting recipes with skill points; Instead, it has all crafting skills behind reading magazines you loot or buy; The one you're looking for specifically is Forging Ahead iirc, which you need to read 30 of to unlock the mixer, and you only have 29... so get one more and you're done.

Seems to be hit or miss, and weather RNG may be somewhat tied to the name of the save like the deco objects are.

If you want to know where you stand on the loot table, that is in your stats.

What are you referring too?
It looks like that is basically what it is. A picture of a list of POI's that exist in each of the top tiers.
It's only really helpful if you're using the web map to search for specific POI's.

Hello Survivors,

TFP are in search of players willing to join a test server and help run quests for a day or two.
Will be looking for any errors related to quest resets, non working switches, connection issues, and general server traffic issues.

No PVP or cm dm access this time.

Probably something corrupted in the save like drone of vehicle data. Unfortunately, you didn't give anyone who could help you anything to work with.

Moved your post to the correct forum section. Start with reading the Pinned threads, and following instructions.

A21.1 b15 EXP

As we approach the stable release of A21.1, we are pleased to present a small hotfix patch for you. This patch primarily addresses a harmless, yet noticeable error popup affecting server browser searches. This was occurring with servers erroneously setup with the port set to 0. Servers setup in that matter will no longer start.

Changes since b12:


Fixes :
  • Twitch Cooldown is disabled when shared quest is removed while on an active quest.
  • Server Browser error on search
  • Server can no longer be started with an invalid port
  • Resolved problem where certain extension actions were not functioning as intended.
  • Restarting game with EAC enabled results in an EAC launcher error

Honestly depends who you ask. There are some who will tell you that literally nothing has changed in the last 10 years; And there are also some who will tell you that every single major patch has changed EVERYTHING in the game so dramatically that every new patch is basically a whole new game.

You'd honestly be best off just hopping in to play and see how it goes.
