Needful things (simple additions to improve the game)

Could we use the “nailable” flag?

Is there a decent way to till earth in the game yet?

If not, can I suggest tiller/cultivator car parts?

Look, google “tiller”. Hand operated, battery-driven power tool, gas engine power tool, ATV attachment, tractor attachment. All currently existing technologies, several readily available through hardware stores. Balance however you please, but throw me a bone. Seeds have become increasingly common and I just don’t have the heart to painstakingly prepare soil with a measly shovel, half an hour at a time.

Worm-powered plow? X3

If you have found a hoe, wield it, stand on a dirt or grass tile and activate it. It tills the earth rapidly.

I would love to have an option to specify what monsters will activate the safe mode warning. I always use safe mode early game, and it’s kind of annoying to have to press ’ every time I spot another zombie child. However I really need the notifications for things like shockers and turrets. If you were able to choose which monsters would prompt a notification and when (for example turrets also prompt a warning when you’re driving a vehicle, but shockers don’t), that would greatly improve my game experience.

Also, I’m new to the forums, hello everyone! ^^

[Random_dragon]

Welcome to the forums, then.

And customizing safemode would be useful, in much the same way as autopickup can be tweaked. Though I generally don’t use it.

Would a bundle of 2x4’s or pipes be useful as a recipe?

Dare I ask what we’d do with them? Deployable and/or constructable as a barricade, I guess? o3o

[mwswimmer]

fill them with explosives and a contact fuse,plant them in the ground with pheromone in them… booom zombie confetti party

[Random_dragon]

A pipe bundle bomb? owo

[Sehn_Knight]

I was thinking of them being requested by the foreman at the outpost or refugee center as a repeatable quest for money or supplies.

It could also be dropped rarely at hardware stores and mega-stores. Unpack and construct all your furniture.

[Slax]

Rare international MREs. For survivor stashes as such. Some people do order that stuff for one reason or another.
Hmm. Maybe they even contain some TASTY food?

[Pthalocy]

I’d be happy with those large bundle recipes, just as a way of making massive amounts of stuff I own easier to move around. If I have to use the advanced item window, or …whatever it’s called. The move-stuff-better window. I’d rather move two stacks of wood across a few tiles, rather than click a gazillion times moving individual planks. Unless I’m stupid and there’s a move-all command that I’m not seeing right in front of me.

[Random_dragon]

Isn’t it the…comma, I think, by default?

[Pthalocy]

Uuuuuugh. I’m gonna assume you’re right on that one. To be honest I don’t usually use that function anyway.

I just really like things in nice neat piles and item stacks are appealing to me.

[Random_dragon]

double checks Yep, it’s comma. :V

[RAM]

Comma is often great and all, but sometimes you don’t want to move quite everything, or- on that note, I think it would be grand if move all commands automatically stopped when the destination container was full, accidentally driving over all my hard-earned loot sometimes gets bothersome…

[Random_dragon]

There’s a “move stack” option and I derped, forgot to check the keybinding for that.

[Dlightfull]

‘M’, i think, but it only works when moving from inventory, for some weird reason. it should be repaired imho.

With USSR rations being worst ones.
