[quote=“CosmicKobal, post:273, topic:5582”][quote=“destrovel, post:270, topic:5582”][quote=“CosmicKobal, post:269, topic:5582”]I’ve noticed that using the Sheltered Scenario with the survivor profession seems to provide an unbalanced number of points (13) in addition to starting you with a knife, clothes, water and matches IN ADDITION to starting you in a LMOE shelter stocked with MORE loot.

all in all, it just seems very unbalanced and it’s difficult to select any other starting option.[/quote]

I’m sorry? I don’t know what that means[/quote]

It means “Quoted for Truth”

I always thought it meant “Quit fucking talking”

I guess I have some apologies to make.

So i have to ask… When is the build going to be frozen? There’s great progress getting done daily on the Github, and that’s commendable, but it’s been half a year since Kaufman.

When this reaches 0 Open.

It also starts you in winter, which makes survival much more difficult. Any food you might find will probably be rotten and there will be much more zombified wildlife about.[/quote]

Every single scenario starts for me in winter. Even the default one in government evac shelter. Is it broken?

FrankyPlaysGames · 2014-09-26T16:14:57.000Z

Is the starting season set to Winter in your world options?
Also loving all these updates, I love how your cutting weapons skill and handguns skill affect drawing from a sheath or a holster respectively. Also mess kits, I fucking love you guys for adding those.

BigLie · 2014-09-26T19:19:15.000Z

Would you be so kind to tell what the heck are those mess kits?
I’d check out myself but seems the experimental builds use SDL2 which I have some trouble installing (I’ll sort that out later).

ChristopherWalken · 2014-09-26T20:01:53.000Z

Mess Kits contain pretty much all cooking supplies in a neat little package and they’re battery powered.

It’s basically the non-vehicle equivalent of the RV Kitchen.

There are some new Marloss things, but despite being Marloss Man Reborn I still don’t know much about them.

Is there something I’m doing wrong driving vehicles? I keep to the blue speed limit, stay on roads, and never hit anything and yet my alternators and engines are constantly dying (grey and wrecked) after just 5-10 minutes of driving. It’s getting really annoying.

i2amroy · 2014-09-27T03:23:32.000Z

Is your starting season setting changed? Also keep in mind that the start of spring is only 1 day after the end of winter, so snow and cold weather is totally possible at that point.

No, it’s set to Spring which I thought was the default setting. I’ve been using these options since at least a couple of months ago. Maybe I should check the default ones and see what’s going on there.

Yeah, you’re right. I wasn’t looking at the date. I guess it always snows by default on day 1 in spring now… which perhaps should be randomized instead. Seems like a bug that has to do with pretty much every other scenario starting in winter or something?

Valpo · 2014-09-27T10:08:44.000Z

It snows often at day 1 thats true but not always. I think its a big improvement to the weather madness we had a while ago. I am quite satisfied with how it is right now.

No, no. You’re doing fine. The problem is that most of the vehicles you’re gonna find on the road are going to be absolute ass. It always seems like the ones that have tires and gas enough to drive simultaneously have decaying engines and no seatbelts.

Spring day 1 is the vernal equinox (northern hemisphere, New England and all). Mid-March in New England, snow is entirely acceptable.

Valpo · 2014-09-28T21:44:48.000Z

I ve found a close combat bionic for the first time . Don t klnow when it was added as i usualy need ages to find all i know. However it adds a new fighting stile which utalises the monomolecular balde when activated and suposedly increases your overall meele abillity.

detahramet · 2014-09-29T00:15:22.000Z

So what’s this i’ve been hearing about mycus mutations?

infectedmochi · 2014-09-29T04:02:34.000Z

Technically not a feature in the experimental right now, it’s still a PR.

In short, fungal mutation category.
