It is a feature, it's been mentioned by the devs that they use it. It's been in since at least A14 when I started playing. Of course, it's TFP so it could be changed/removed at any time. I use it often early game if I have the resources to do so.

YES! I hate the new piddly noise and really miss the old scream. I also really miss the old level up sound, the new one scared the crap out of me when it was introduced in A17 I've tried to find a mod to replace them but it's apparently not something that's easily modifiable

I saw a quality 6 solar panel at a trader around day 30. I've only unlocked Tier 3 quests but I have Daring Adventurer 3 out of 4 which increases trader item selection. I've also found and purchased a solar bank around the same time. The panel was around 60k dukes I believe.

Any chance of an experimental release this week? Or is it too early to tell?

I've just finished the Day 14 Horde and I'll chime in on my thoughts to the farm changes. I have no problem making it harder to get started, my only gripe is replanting every time. I never minded it before the change, but now I absolutely dislike having to replant and I've lost several seeds already making it feel less than useful. As for food in general? I have nearly 5 stacks of meat sitting in a box at the moment just from killing wolves/bears at night. I haven't seen but maybe one boar and 3 dear so far. I did buy the harvest perk for 20% more meat/bones and iron gut 1. I've been killing the occasional chicken using the animal tracking 1 perk. I think if they want to make food take more work, then the farming changes are not the way to go, to me at least. As for the solution? I have no idea, I just really dislike planting seeds over and over, probably my favorite change to farming back in Alpha 17? I think.

I don't typically use Twitch but I have a question about this. Do you have to be partnered or are there any other requirements to be able to use this feature?

I do videos on Youtube and have had a few people complain about the new controls. One of my main goals of my videos is to let people know that there are in fact people on PC that use controllers and this change is not well liked. I personally do not like them, I rather enjoyed the 'use the camera angle to steer' system much more. Vehicles seem to lose control more easily and I've gotten used to it. I would like at least an option to use the old method, though the idea of having to change the steering controls every time I reload the game if the new setting is the standard is a little off putting. I hope the devs do consider changing it back or giving us the option, hopefully with a setting to set one or the other to default.
