When I asked Brian about used mechanics for mushroom picking, he replied: Yesterday, Peter, the Lead Designer, joined a Twitter conversation about apple trees and revealed that the team is actually "prototyping dynamic spawning of apples and others": – in this case, the others could be plums and pears, shown in the dev tool for loot control below: hruška on the left control panel means pear in Czech and you can see both mushrooms and various fruit trees on the right control panel: Last known status of mushrooms: Archived on Trello – WIP models Added to 0.60 Changelog: "Mushrooms from old config to EN5C config" (Feb 2, 2016) I would love to see a preview of the prototype or some information how the system should work in the future.

"In addition to this - regional loot control is being prepared for internal testing. CLE functionality is present, and the designers are now working with a fairly versatile new tool allowing them to set location types, regional areas, and even more - with rapid flexability. In addition to allowing us even more precise control over the in-game economy, this should also be a huge tool for mod authors." – Status Report – 26 Nov 2015

What was the reasoning behind the decision to add another bolt-action rifle? For the variability of civilian weapons, or because it's an iconic piece from the Mod? I welcome it either way.

Hi Brian, 1) Could you tell us something about the mushroom picking mechanic? Is it similar to the one with sticks, or are the mushrooms going to spawn randomly? 2) "Take All" option while looting or swapping backpacks/clothes? Thank you.

You mentioned Beta – does it still mean that all the presented features (2015 Roadmap, Trello) are going to be added before leaving Alpha? Is anything off the table, e.g. companion animals?
