Wow. Found food, said I'm still hungry after tons of stuff eaten, found a good hiding spot, switched servers - I am deep red hyperthermic, absolutely overstuffed and the first thing I did was puke. I did find an electric cattle poker though, this is hilarious!

Thanks h0nkx! For some reason it doesn't update automatically. I'll just try that :-) Edit: Yup, incoming now!

*pats head* It's okay Ziad, I just checked to see and got nothing as well, just be patient and quiet, otherwise the wolves may get ya! :D

Oh Gawd, now we can fresh spawn, dodge zombies, wolves and other players while trying not to starve, dehydrate, overheat or go into hypothermia. Ladies and Gentlemen, this truly will start to feel like a survival game in a few more updates. Yay! :D

Uhm... Am I the only one or did all servers go down?

Yay! Thanks devs! I also think things have improved a lot. We have persistence, we get too cold or too hot, melee is much better (if not perfect), we keep getting new towns and items on an almost regular basis... I just want to say that I am very happy with the progress the team has made in the past couple of months, so thanks, Dev Team!

Got a lot of Session lost just now - Update time?

There's another "not quite authentic" thing we have to live with: Rain itself normally doesn't make you sick at all. You can get sick from viruses, bacteria, and other stuff. So you should be more at risk getting sick if you come in contact with sick people (or maybe even animals) than just being wet outside. That's when hyperthermia comes into play. Yay! I wonder how the new patch is gonna work out, can't wait!

I didn't actually mean I hoard them, I left many of those filled with food and axes on different servers that didn't have the Mega Loot Spawn, and I hid them in places I thought people might be able to find them and get some use out of that stuff. I mean what do you do with 12 backpacks full of food? I agree with you that the folks who hide them for themselves are just annoying. On the other hand, yeah, what is the ability to stash stuff for? I just keep a little extra clothing and a couple of weapons I have ammo for, and leave the rest for new spawns. I can't wait until the loot system is finally balanced out.

*sigh* so now that I finally have a pair of binos I can already start saying goodbye to them. Oh grrr. Meh, it was about time for a fresh start anyway, meanwhile I have like 12 backpacks stashed away and no one found them, so it is starting to get a bit boring.

Is it just me, or are really all reg. servers out of order now? Eh, what the heck, I'll just switch to HC for a while, that'll do me some good. :)

Less and less servers working. Now how am I supposed to get to my stash? My "home server" is unavailable. I grrrr this! >:(

It sounded to me like you tried to make experimental work by switching to stable and then back to experimental. If that wasn't the case, never mind, my apologies. I just tried to use an unlucky example comparing stable and experimental as two different computers. Okay, Vodka, Cigs and waterproof backpacks. Awesome. What the alc and Cigs are even for, I have no idea, but hey, now I can have a smoke whenever I have one in real life! What is a dime bag used for? Is it actually a bag full of dimes? Can you throw it at people? Never mind that last question, I just googled it LOL

Silly question, but has anyone had any luck finding binos on exp at all? i get the feeling them things have become quite shy and tedious to find.

Sounds like you tried the "turning it off and then on again" tactics with stable / experimental. That's like trying to start up a broken computer and then starting up one that works. The broken Computer doesn't start working again just because you start up a working one since it's two different machines.

Same thing with me I think. Also "Connecting failed" all around :(

Nooooo... Persistence?? Really? Let me explain this to you: I thought persistence only meant that players drop items and those stay. When you go into a house, and pick stuff up and it appears again after the server restarts, that is not persistence, that for me is reappearance of the exact items that have been looted before. Therefore it was noteworthy to me. Next time, a little less sarcasm would be cute ^_^

Thanks Odin, that was finally an explanation I understand! Man, once the wolves get in... they'll get axed! Unless they sneak in from behind you in a pack without sound files or distinguishable noises, that is. :o

Yeah, how about we open up zBay? :D I have 6 Backpacks stashed away with Food, Bandages, extra Clothing and Weapons and Ammo and and and... But it does get tiring after a while. FUN FACT: After a server restarts, the exact same items spawn in the exact same place in some houses. Mostly food and Ammo, but sometimes also Backpacks.

Hey guys, does someone know a bit more about this whole horticulture business? I always thought this means you can grow plants inside a house or whatever - but what does "placeholder" mean? That it is not fully implemented yet / not working? If it is working, I might have to get back to actively playing again for a while to check it out. Thanks!

Finally updated today! I always thought hyperthermia was only when you get too cold, and it would be a different term for when you get too hot, but since "thermia" is basically temperature roughly translated, it goes for either extreme, right? LOL you can wring your clothes out! Wring out your Leather Jacket, sure! Hehe... Ahhh, it's good to be back! :D Happy trails!

Maybe it's time to switch back to stable again for a while. I have come to really, really like experimental, but hey, everyone can use a break once in a while :|

Just wow... But then try to find one, just one single bandage, bandana, T-Shirt, Can of food etc. - not happening.

Welp, looks like I have a lot to learn when it comes to hiding my precious beanz. Rule No.1: Don't stash your loot inside any house. I mean really any house, even the wooden cabins where "nobody ever goes in", because somebody will go in and find your crap. Alright, from here on out I'm asking the Mod Players as well as the Standalone Players: In a Bush? Under a tree? In the middle of the city? A small village on the outskirts? Where have you found that your loot is safest from other players? Where does it make the most sense if you die and respawn randomly? Thanks folks!

Are there any mountaineers? Or better, has anyone thought about the huge rock area at the coast by.. I think it's Electro. I was thinking about this but I am kinda scared that a backpack could practically "slide" into the rocks themselves, never to be seen again. Anyone that experimented with this? I love the view from up there, even if you can slide, break your legs and ruin your gear if you are not careful. There's berries up there too, so from a survival side it might work. I know I just may have given a spot away, but I was thinking about it and I'm sure I'm not the only one ^_^
