Experimental Branch: 0.50 Discussion

Have you tried getting them out of a tomato?

Just guessing here, but I would imagine that to be the intended way to get them.

Same with apples.

I did try that with a tomato in my hand to plant it but there was no option for that.

You have to take the tomato in your hands, go to a church, smash the sunlit wall of a church with the tomato, then go in front of the church, place the tomato on the ground, run 12 precise circles around it, go prone on the tomato, log out, log in, and then you will have tomato seeds.

 

And you sold your soul, but i think that's a bug.

It's not a bug. It's a feature! :P

 

Hell, I'm at the point where I'd sell my soul for a freaking can of bacon, man. These are rough times my friend. Tomatoes are ungodly anyway ^^

The AKM was my go-to for a while, but lately I've stuck with the SKS for that exact reason. I am having a little bit of trouble finding 7.62x39 ammo in 0.50 though.

 

It's rarer than it used to be, but since AKM magazines aren't spawning anymore it seems (which used to be the best way to get SKS rounds in bunches of thirty)...the best way to get your hands on SKS ammunition are boxes of twenty rounds that I find once in a while in rusty jeeps. Pickup trucks can have ten round stripper clips for the SKS as well, though those are pretty uncommon as well. 

 

SKS's themselves are far more common than their ammunition. 

 

I don't go to military bases. I'm too smart for that. I don't know from experience how much SKS rounds can spawn there.

^{Sledgehammer is indeed beast lol 1 shot to the head or 2 to the chest and its all over but the ride in the wahhmbulance , only pristine sledge ive seen AKA Greta ;)  i found just East of Sevorgrad in the , for lack of a better term "car park" or "park and ride" theres a Diner there and 6-9 old vehicles. She was just laying on the ground there in the rain like no one loved her , so sad.}

LMB bug is especially bad with the pump action shotgun.

 

I stripped my hotbar to just axe and shotgun to avoid switching to compass while firing.

 

I ran as far north as the debug and then ran randomly southwest.

 

Came upon a bombed out looking military area with 3 large stone barracks like structures and a military jail.

 

Unfortunately the military jail didn't have anything exciting inside....

 

Lot's of car/truck wrecks to search there.

 

Rags

 

I often avoid military areas to avoid KoS people but when I come upon a base I will scout it out for a long time and decide if it's worth a quick 5 minute loot dash.

 

Why should KoS jerks be the only ones with military gear?

 

Right now it's the best place to find magazines and clips I would imagine.

 

If you primarily wanted to kill zombies, wouldn't you want military gear...?

 

You know what they say, no risk, no reward.

 

Edit to say: Server reset or crashed just after a backpack/gear swap. I hope I have all of my stuff or the server comes back and what wasn't yet in my new bag is still in a bag on the ground! :o

id like to know why me and few others crash 3 times in 15 minutes and other can play straight 3 hours without interruption? i have read the thread about stability of the exp serversbut if it works to 80% and 20% cant play it then id rather assume something in the build was done not right than assuming  we didnt work our pc out since i was able to play the last exp build without that many crashes...

^^^I had this problem a few updates back.

 

I waited for a new update and my problem was solved.

 

If it's a major issue, I'm sure it's at least being looked into soon!

 

Try to be patient and maybe soon you'll be able to play again.

I have to ask: have you verified your cache on Steam for this game? If you haven't, you should. If you have already, my apologies -- don't take it to mean I think you're a dunce :p

 

Last night I did have one crash, and it wasn't until after I had already been playing for like 2 hours. Didn't occur again. My buddy played with me the whole time and never crashed once. Go figure  :huh:

Same here, it is frustrating although i logged on on my own today and my game did not crash once in 2 hours, play with my friends and it crashes like i am using a patato, i don't understand it. I never had crashes on the last build and a lot of people were complaining about it so i assumed it may have something to do with their system but i just can't see that as being the case anymore otherwise why would i now be crashing and some of those people are not having any issues at all, i can't wrap my head around it.

Is anybody having any luck with rabbit snares this patch? I'm starting to think I'm doing something wrong. :(

[Demonica 311]

I still haven't quite figured out how to actually build a rabbit snare. I got the wire but what do I need to combine it with and how do I set it up?

Just a stick that you'd get by searching or chipping kindling. Then just have the snare trap in hand and look at the ground to deploy. Beyond that I don't know what might affect success rate.

So this is the Groundhog Day build or the Edge of Tomorrow build?

Loot isn't supposed to respawn at restart anymore, that was just the old behavior prior to the implementation of persistence. Now loot is supposed to gradually despawn and respawn as time goes on, independent of server restarts.

 

I haven't found a PSO-1 scope in like... a month. Didn't even realize it until I read your post, but wow  :huh:

Even i 0.49 the PS01 scope is rare. However after some server hopping I found 4 PSO1 scopes in 4 barracks in different conditions.

 

So the scope is not Super rare, but i do belive that it is always grabed by the first guy whos see's it weather or not they have the Ak yet.

 

Now ive seen about 10 PSO1 scopes, and maybe 2 Ak handguards in the barracks in over 100 barracks

Found more Flashbangs and Grenades in total than i have PSO/Ak attachments total

[BeaverProductions 441]

Loot respawning is still bugged, right? Went up the city hall in novo, found a total of 12 carbines, four crossbows and about 5-6 sporters. Crazy.

 

Same on the server I was on.  Guns were everywhere in the tower, multiple spawns.

 

I even found lots of guns on random roads.

[ryanh 36]

 

 

I don't go to military bases. I'm too smart for that. I don't know from experience how much SKS rounds can spawn there. 

You mean you're to smart to realise that you have a high chance of death at a military sight?

 

Well there's so many of those "smart people" makes it easy to loot the military bases since so many people play exactly that way..

 

 

Also sks ammo very common at military sights, found one akm no mags 

[GrumpyOldMeeper 10]

Well its all been going swimmingly well so far,however I was one of the first on when they updated so gearing wasnt an issue  lol

few things have noticed

1, loot spawning is feast or famine somewhere will be devoid of gear then bam you find the backpack mountain of zelenagorsk or the sks tower of vybor(as others have commented on)

2, standard guns are everywhere way too many,,yet hatchets and axes are less common should be a tweak there  ... all these survival mechanic's being introduced is pointless when so many guns 

3, zambie AI sensors no change, still have hawkeyes and x ray vision,,seems a few more in a couple of spot's in my usual haunts. Although maybe less peeps visiting, hard too tell traffic with screwy loot spawn's

4 good too see tent's fixed although all the gear spawning there can be had elsewhere,ie no mags 

5 tried various ways of getting seeds/growing tom's without seed's ie trying planting tom(no option) using knife axe(lol) on tom too cut it deseed it.Guess we have too wait for a hotfix for the actual seed's :(

 

gonna go kill myself a few times i think try get a better picture is too easy once you have an axe and a gun(with right ammo:P)

[fowang 60]

I have found an AKM and ONE RUINED mag FML :facepalm:

[GrumpyOldMeeper 10]

I did say was going well erm scratch that lol, crashed str8 out of the game twice for no reason only thing i did differently was verify cache before I started  :S:S

switching server's fixed it touch wood

please stop hopping, that make me run for a long time and take risks for no rewards :(

 

ps : looting military spots is not that dangerous, i died maybe 3-4 times there in 300h and i was actively looking for troubles. in fact, looting the NWAF is even easier in full servers because hopper loot low pop servers and cowards are too afraid to go there if the server is full. in low/medium pop servers, you have greater chances to see someone in the military bases.

 

in unlooted military tents area, you should find at least 100 of 7.62*39 ammo in this built. 20-40 if someone scared already looted the place. military prisons usually drop 0-40 7.62*39 ammo if unlooted, same for barracks.

[deniz0790 42]

i just wanted to say, also in this version, persistence seems not to be working over a longer time (more than 1 day)

 

i set up a camp yesterday with lots of backpacks, items and so on and it worked for several server retart until the evening

 

then i come back today and baaam everything gone - just everything - kept my character though .... 

 

but i guess this is not how it will be in the future (i hope) as this does not encourage people in setting up camps if they get deleted every 12h or so  <_<  <_<  <_<
