Announcement: Welcome 18.2 b5 to stable!


Hated

Recommended Posts

Good evening!

 

Alpha 18.2 b5 is here now!

 

Warning: Do not overload your forge (>30k) by smelting in new resources while queueing up recipes and cancelling them. This will likely result in a chunk reset and part of your base will be gone. A fix will be deployed to experimental soon.

 

With this version we introduced:

1. a fix for our users running AMD HD 5000 & 6000 cards

2. a new option (terrain quality) that will allow players to gain FPS

 

For feedback and balancing suggestions, please go to our feedback thread.

 

For ideas outside of balancing please visit our dev diary.

 

For any bug reports and the latest known issues please visit our bug report thread

 

Have a great day!

"Blood moon spawner ignores bedrolls"

 

Does this mean I have to worry about zombies spawning inside my base during the blood moon? (I fight from a raised platform maybe 30m away from my main base, but it's close enough that they could probably spawn inside it.)

"Improved blood moon spawner temp path grid position"

 

What does this mean?

 

When blood moon zombies spawn, their path grid will be more centered on them, so there is less chance their path hits the edge of the grid, which would make it harder to get over to the player. Like they could be running into a wall.

BM and horde AI will not spawn on blocks that are not terrain. Terrain blocks have:

<property name="CanMobsSpawnOn" value="true"/>

Any news on if bundles are intended to give the insane amount of XP they are currently giving or the bundling and re bundling giving xp?

 

Is that back? I noticed it in the first 18.2 unstable, but I thought it got fixed after the b5 unstable update. Doesn't seem to happen on all of the bundles, but definitely occured on bundles of nitrate in b2.

Electric parts and mechanical parts are usefull items that cannot find easily, should make them crafteable again, or more lootable, thanks for the update

Engines are fairly abundant in loot, they scrap down to quite a decent amount of mechanical parts. Like 20 or 30. Or after gutting one house thoroughly, you should have all the parts you need :) that's my playstyle though, not trying to impose. But I've never really crafted those parts or wanted to.

The Forge bug seems to be a bummer, any chance that one will get a hotfix?

what about in a new unexplored chunk? do they have full HP?

 

Just checked because I'm having the same issue. It does appear normal in unexplored areas. In areas around my base and such where I've been, most trees will upon first hit give some plant fibers, and second hit fall and give out a small amount of wood.

So if you blanket the countryside with blocks, zombies will stop spawning forever? Too OP, patch out immediately :sarcasm:

Are you serious? Once you get a wrench you should be drowning in the things. Just wrench everything you can get your hands on.
