Exp Update: 0.57128035*

[a_ruttle 199]

Given that this patch added 2 New sniper rifles and a host of old rifles able to take long range optics I wasn't surprised as I lay down in a bush overlooking VMC with my CR527/hunting scope, when I heard Model 70 gunshots coming from Dichina hill, followed shortly by CR or mosin shots fired from the road east of the base followed again by Model 70 shots a few minutes later, made for good fun being sat between 2 snipers who were both looking past/near me to find the source of the other shots.

 

 

Has anyone been able to find any binoculars? By now it seems that everything has been looted quite well, and canned food is hard to come by. Problem is, I also can not find any fertilizer. I got seeds and all that happy crap. Is Fertilizer mandatory?

 

Yes I found binoculars in either Elektro Police station or the southern Fire Station very shortly after the servers went live earlier, Still have them.

Just had a weird bug: found a winchester and tried it out on a lone Z. Hit him, he started running towards me, hit him again, he's down. Then, about 15 seconds later I suddenly get hit by something invisible. I run away about 200m behind a building, trying to bandage. Get hit by an invisible attacker again. I run into a building and STILL get hit by something I can't see.

 

?

Invisible zombie, a story parents tell their children to scare them while camping, just a story, until you meet one. I think it is a zombie that fell underground somehow (my opinion) and the next time I meet one I want to run up some stairs and see if it pops up visible as it tries to follow. I ran from a base in a straight line for about a mile and then made a big wide uturn back to the base and ran into him again about 5 minutes later because I was heading out and of course I couldn't see him so I couldn't avoid him. There a real pain.

Would be grand if I could make a stone knife, havent been able to for a number of patches... unless im doing something wrong... I hold a small stone and use mouse scroll wheel but no options... 

I stand on the beach in a sandy gravel area and move a little bit at a time until it says search for a stone whatever. Don't move, search in the same spot until you get a rock, put it in your hand, don't move,look down it should give you make a stone knife right there. I've never tried it anywhere but on a beach with gravel looking sand, even in 2 feet of water. Luck!

by ponds and ares that are also rockey with the same texture you can find stone and make knives.

I have been hunting for deer on EXP but for the past 45 mins have found no Deer/Chicken/Boar in the usual places.

It might be fishing season :-) If I wanted people to fish, I would remove the woodland creatures.

Hmm, I've played a lot of Exp looking for the hunting scope, I've found a lot of Red dots, holosights etc in deer stands but this is the first Hunting scope I've found, I killed a guy and took it from his backpack near Elektro >:)

[Excanto 336]

I appreciate the appreciation.

I'll try this again when I get home. All I did was find two stones and stack them put them in my hand. And scrolled. You know I've never actually had to do this but once or twice lately due to no loot and the last time I tried I had to move my head around staring in different directions while scrolling. It may have happened to pop up when my head was facing the ground actually looking at stones without realizing it.

One stone.

Is there chance that zombies will make it to stable? How is game running? Didn't have much chance to play in last few days.

I was on stable 1pp last night as soon as I got home and I was trying out my fist fighting with zombies and I was doing pretty good :-)

You can find landmines at pickup trucks. 

[Demonica 311]

Uhm, ... why am I unable to plant seeds? Made a garden plot, dug the tiles, put seeds in my hand, aiming towards the tiles, and no option to plant seeds appears...? Did I miss something? One bag of seeds was damaged, one of them was pristine... still no joy...

I found the one I am carrying at one of the new village shops.  It was on the shelves in the back.  Sort of surprised I found it there.  Thinking of mining a check point...

[Tatanko 5591]

Had a good run from Pavlovo all the way up to the NWAF and then all the way back to the east coast before stopping at the NEAF for the night. Good and healthy, decent gear (loaded AK74!), etc. No difficulty in finding anything really, except sewing kits (non-leather).

Found binoculars last night ... in a deer stand IIRC. Haven't had a chance to play today.

Empty the pouch of seeds into an open spot in your inventory, you will have a pile of seeds.

[Demonica 311]

Oh wow... thanks I'll try that then. Did they come up with that just in the last patch? I had no idea... Thanks again!

 

Edit: Worked perfectly, I am now stuffed with tomatoes and one literal happy camper ^^

 

Edit2: I would really love to see the ability to stack tomatoes / harvestables or maybe even have a small basket that you can hold in your hand when harvesting crops, maybe with like 20 slots but these slots are only available for harvestables.

After the first three plants I had no more room and had to throw the rest of my crops in the vicinty from where I had to pick them up / eat as many as I could.

 

Is there any detriment to not harvesting ripe crops? Do they just go bad or disappear?

Are animals back in this exp build?

excellent question.  I haven't seen any and I've been through most of the west.   :(

 

Has anyone found a barrel?  If so, where at?

I think they will dissapear, I don't know if they can go bad though.

You can always make an Improvised backpack and put them in there, leave it there and come back later.

Haven't found a barrel myself, but I've heard that they are being found at police cars.

Anyone know if cows are spawning again?

 

Edit, checked several places, nope :(

Did you find them both by stuffing canvas pants and hoodies/wool coats full of like?

 

 

They weren't buried that deep. Just on the floor of some houses

[HugoStiglitz (DayZ) 69]

No 1pp only servers in this Exp update?

You can stack the seeds after you empty the packet. Ya I would like to be able to make a bunch of food and then carry it somehow. There may still be a 50 gallon drum in game people say they have found that takes a very small spot in inventory and gives you a huge space to put things. Um the crops seem to sometimes have a very narrow window between ripe and ruined and no I pick them the instant they turn ripe so I don't lose them. Glad you were able to grow stuff, yes it was fairly recently that they changed the seeds. I tried the packet thing and just said to myself while I starved "I'm going to stand here and fix this crap or die trying" and mistakenly clicked on the seed packet while I was trying something else and the seeds fell out. :-D

I ran and drove a long way tonight and never saw a zed or animal and forgot to try fishing lol. I was just flying along the north tracks heading west and flipped it into a ditch...grrr.

[Excanto 336]

All the servers were 3pp as far as I could see, there are some issues with items sticking, not being able to pick up etc. I put my pistol away into a 4 spot that is open, hit the x and it fell to the floor and sat there visible and nothing I could do to pick it up, prone, crawled, reclogged, cried. The truck handled fine except it felt like an old truck I used to drive that had a bad clutch and every little bump would make it slip and lose power to the wheels, like the clutch had been depressed. I checked lots of places inland, even out in the forest where I happened upon a single house and mostly nothing to find. So far I have a 22 sporter with no ammo or mag. A compass and bandages and a jacket. Barf. Sleep time..)
