Alpha 21
Major

.1
Minor

b16
Revision

Stable
A build that met conditions to be considered as a candidate for public consumption- AKA, Done; No additional work is being done on A21.1 b16; The next release will be some version higher than 16; ie, b17, or b44; Or the next Minor version will release and the specific build number for that minor version may be lower than 16, since the build numbers are version specific. Given that this is the Stable builds, it will be A21.2 bxyz that releases next, they aren't going to push another build under A21.1 on the stable branch.

Also, 'b16' is BUILD 16, Not BETA 16, if that helps clarify your misunderstanding a little.

When it is ready.

Sometime after Alpha 21.2 moves to Stable branch.

You aren't going to get a better answer ever.

I argued (as just some guy on a forum to be clear) in favor of more than the four building materials we have now. With that said, the changes have affected gameplay (i.e. HP and crafting) more than they’ve affected aesthetics.

Also, luck could certainly be a factor here. In my A21 world, I have a downtown area that seems to have its fair share of non-questable POIs. This includes not just abandoned buildings but other ‘filler’ like several small parks strung together. Which is not to say they’re useless! I built my first base at Arch Park and, after building on top of it, it’s served me well through many horde nights. Come to think of it, perhaps the RWG populates plenty of tier 0’s in downtown and rural areas, but is weaker on tier 0’s in suburban residential areas like OP is talking about.

To me the use case for ‘tier 0’ POIs is to have a place to hole up when starting a game, without having to clear a whole POI of zombies. Because if you woke up naked in the zombie apocalypse, would your first instinct really be to start a carpentry project and build a new freestanding structure? Not me; not when there are houses already there.

The downside to increasing the proportion of tier 0 POIs would effectively be urban sprawl. Meaning, those wanting to do trader quests would be annoyed at the increased travel time, going past all the empty buildings to get where, arguably, the ‘meatiest’ part of the gameplay occurs.

That’s exactly what I was going to say. 🎩

Yes you can. I’ll highlight Dogmilk’s post explaining how.

Please use the pinned thread that's already available to discuss this topic.

This happens when you tick the box to "always make X choice". You can edit the setting in Game properties. It's a drop-down menu under Launch Options.

Originally posted by Blue Hasia: ah ok, but the effect that they become more of a bullet sponges is still the same XD

It is. That is basically all it does is make them bullet sponges and make it so they hit you harder.

Instead, it should increase the number of zeds, make harder zeds spawn sooner, and make overall gameplay more difficult. It should have additional multipliers to gamestage (it used to), and should lower lootstage progression. IMHO, it should also adjust trader prices and quest rewards to make things harder to get.

Sadly, you're likely only ever going to see this in an overhaul due to how these different systems are managed.

Changing the difficulty changes the damage you deal to zeds, and the damage they deal to you. That's really all it does.

The Smell system. I really miss that.

TFP has stated that the previous versions will remain available to those that purchased EA. I am not aware of any similar availability for those who purchase after it goes Gold.

It sounds like wandering hordes are closest to what the OP is after. I imagine a mod could pump those up separate from biome zombies.

The game has to be more clever than just adding more zombies, because each zombie has a performance cost. Turning on feral sense is a good start, because then you will more easily aggro the zombies that are already there but weren’t going after you. You will also face more challenge from zombies with a higher gamestage: either directly by leveling up your character, or due to gamestage multipliers like being in a more dangerous biome. As for Blood Moons, you set how frequent they are. You can have a Blood Moon every night if you want. Lastly, there are screamers. Some players will deliberately raise the activity in a small area, for instance by running many forges, to draw the attention of screamers, and then purposefully let them call in hordes.

It would be important to know when that comment was added (possibly June 3rd, but this year?). It could be old and irrelevant or already partially implemented since the numbers are relative. I’m skeptical they would make 1000% changes to anything before the next alpha.
