Also a note on the levels. 0 is Server Owner. 1000 is verified platform account. 2000 is anyone at all. There is no real purpose for using 2000 for in-game commands, though it can be useful for the web console/map interface. 100 is the default for reserved slots, and 90 is Twitch. When I...
Do note that the given max is based on very high-end hardware. Most servers you rent won't go past 15-20 players, and some will even struggle to go past 8.
And in case you were checking the version to make sure you were not purchasing the defunct TellTale games version, that no longer exists in the store. It was de-listed shortly before the v1.0 launch.
This makes me think of it as very similar to the way the notes are in Ark.
The story promised in the kickstarter was simply connected notes and letters that you would find as you explored that would slowly reveal the cause of the apocalypse. That is the minimum that they must do (and it is very minimum) but I do believe they want to at least include a showdown with...
Did you check the attic? You should go check the attic right now just to make sure.
No duh. Giving out advance release dates have always been the exception rather than the rule and giving them out has rarely worked out well. People just can’t handle what the E stands for in ETA. Their stated goal is to have the first version of bandits released by the end of the year. So based...
Just so long as you are on salary.... ;)
The team is aware of the issue. Hopefully we'll know more next week.
If you copy a game version it will not update because it isn't mamaged by steam. To use it you have to start steam (for the DRM) and then start the game directly from inside the games directory. It shares savegame/mod locations with the steam-managed game, so if you want to alternate between...
I think the OP’s question has been answered to the best of the community’s ability. Given the large number of posts that required moderator action, and that we don’t see what more there is to say, we’ll call this thread done.
Hi bob. Could you please tell me if you are PvE or a PvP player so I can update my list? All I have on you is that you are an RPG gamer and that isn't enough to go on when deciding whether to allow you to post huge AI generated content or not just in case you ever decide to....
You have a point, but the game is (probably still) balanced for a default setting and difficulty. If you change a lot of settings you have to expect some things going out of balance as well. This minigame is a good example, at default settings it isn't more difficult than doing a quest in a...
Impossible? Take some inspiration from Soulmonster's story. In fact it should be always possible to dig some underground tunnels to different areas and when you catch a chicken there try to use the tunnel to get back. This would be a very 7d2d'y way to do it.
You are sure you didn't ask Flat-Earthers about LLMs ? :LOL:
The question is, if there is a mini-game, should it provide a challenge or not? What you suggest would make it trivial again and then I would ask why have it in the game at all? Related to this: The challenge isn't all that much if you haven't set feral mode or increased spawns. And if we...
Yes, hunting knife and pistol are not good enough for inferno cop and tier4. You need SMG/Desert Vulture and machete.
Meta-forum commentary about the thread itself - like how many pages or posts there are, or summaries on who’s posted each day - have been removed. Replies need to add something constructive to the actual topic of the thread.
Hello blacklegion40k, the infection you have encountered is due to changes to the sandbox options Infection Chance like you guessed. The note that you've got infected by cop spit was the giving reason. This spit (And other specific zombie projectiles + insects) seems to ignore the infection...
Looking into this
They eventually cull every version down to the last released stable build of that version. If you look down the list there is only one entry for each major version but at one time in the past each version had all their builds available and all were later reduced to just the one. I don’t know...
The negotiation attempts could have been interpreted by BE as stalling to keep the video up as long as possible and get more views / income. How long after? If only a few hours that would practically be at the same time. If the lawyer decided to do both he wouldn't much care what he did first...
Did he publish the informal correspondence before or after he had contacted his laywer?
Same here. About day 140, current stable on linux, AGI specced, never looted an SMG, but lots of other weapons.
If you were trying to make arrowheads out of chicken beaks then you certainly will be low on ammo
AFAIK laywers usually demand that their clients do not talk to anyone about the case and all communications go through them. Especially to the other party but also the public.
Ok, then this doesn't fit the facts at all. Assuming this is the order of events: ... *) talks about taking down the video broke down with both sides refusing to yield *) TFP/BE took down the video with DMCA **AND** threatened with or sent a C&D *) video was taken down Now, since Jawoodle...
I am confused. Wasn't it the DMCA method by which the video was removed? So it seems they "tried it" parallel to the C&D. Right?
So I shouldn’t tell you that the chicken suit is actually the new bandit armor….?
And why not? Nobody likes to have to work through their birthday. It's a universal detestation.
English is not Kyoji native language
The main point is that they were a planned feature and then delayed each time. They were never promises. People who frame development goals and delays from update to update as promises and lies are fooling themselves, setting themselves up for disappointment, and should just never participate in...
Ok. This sounds like they didn't give him much time. But: How long does it take to take down the video, independent of whether you want to then edit it or not? I would think that is a matter of minutes. Are there normal office hours for streamers? Especially on a release weekend. Since the...
Hello GRAGONITE, thank you for creating a thread to address this issue. The light of flashlight or other player light sources behaving weird is a known issue and has already been worked on. You won't see this issue in a future version of the game. Best, Revi
Developer Diary posts in the official announcement forum seems pretty kosher to me. He has posted from time to time his progress on AI behavior such as taking cover, flanking, retreating when hurt, etc. This is over the last year or two and also for a time before 1.0 before the official roadmap...
I was able to reproduce this issue even after the fix that I have talked about got applied. I'll create an internal ticket and see if this can be addressed, will be a little difficult since it seems to happen at random. Thanks everyone for the information!
I just tested a fix for the stability issue and I'm no longer able to reproduce this issue that way. I'll move it to fixed until we get new reproduction steps. The fix itself will come in a future update
Hello Castalgo, thank you for creating a thread to address this potentional issue. Sleepers that get unloaded in this way are not supposed to count as defeated. In a case like this the sleeperVolume is trying to restore the sleeper by spawning a new entity in its place. However if the player...
We know that in the broadest terms, the devs aim to add bandits and then story. So there will surely be story text in some form, and this isn’t a bad way to do it. I will say that players basically hate to read, whether the text is useful to them or not. So I’d expect most story elements to be...
Heh, yeah theFlu got it. It’s a common response on other platforms, meant to be endearing. Guess it was a bit cryptic here.
How can you say there have been zero updates? How is it that we know what we do if there were zero updates? What were all those progress posts that faatal made over the past year when he mentioned working on different aspects of bandits? After 3.0 came out I was shocked to still read people...
I disagree. Nothing about this is generational. There will be people in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s who play this game and some will prefer wacky clowning-around shenanigans and some will prefer serious gritty dark drama and horror in every age group. Others won't really care one...
Lathan made a fix on Monday, which will take care of it. Should be in 3.2 or earlier.
User name checks out.
Okay, Mama Odie, but dig a little deeper, and consider that it isn't an either/or situation....
If you're right that the chicken suit is utterly stupid and not worth buying then you won't ever see it in multiplayer servers because nobody will have purchased it. If you're wrong then you will see it because people will be dressing up in it for laughs. But, then if you're wrong enough that...
Me too. But I can already imagine the posts complaining that the mechanic is an artificial gate TFP is using to force players to go to each biome and not allow the player to do whatever they want....
To be fair, it really has nothing to do with the ■■■■ty hardware in consoles (especially Series-S). Long before then TFP were limiting options and features in the game to keep it working on archaic hardware. I've covered this subject a few times over the years. TFP did not want to alienate the...
Hi dan1112112. Please check your direct messages. :)
Great, this is a known issue that will get fixed in a future release. Thank you for confirming the issue. I'll move this to duplicates since we had a report for this in the post with this thread.
Hello adanof, can you catch a chicken and drop it again in the bugged game to see if this fixes the issue? Best, Revi
Looking into this
Okay... a reminder to all. Forum rules still prohibit flaming people, which means no name calling or insults. That includes JaWoodle. Remember this when forming your posts.
Not that I am aware of. The next round of new POIs will probably come with the next major update.
No, but that will be necessary come Unity 7 as the built in rendering pipe is being removed, so eventually.
Awesome! Thanks!
Bug fixes. Might be some balancing with boosted stats. We are hoping we get the Unity 6.3 update into a 3.x release. I have been using 6.3 for my own dev for a few weeks now. Mostly fine, but the editor is using a lot more memory compared to U2022. I know people will ask, so I will add that I...
Not what I said. We are working on some bugs, is not primarily concentrated on bugs. Most devs are working on new features or improvements.
Yep, either one of those could be next. I know we are working on some bug fixes, so that could be in a 3.1.1.
According to the kickstarter, the following features are planned, and are not listed as "Mat appear in a post-release update. They are not currently part of the game. Seasonal weather effects. (Though it could be argued that the "weather" in the different biomes counts, or maybe the storm...
