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! ^^

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

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

A pipe bundle bomb? owo

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

double checks Yep, it’s comma. :V

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…

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

‘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.
