and patching a version that will not be around for much longer is just a waste of dev time

Sully, will we get a blog post at the stable release regarding the crafting system and the future of it (regarding to new professions and systems like fermentation)?

good to hear, still excited to see what the new crafting system brings in the future

Can TIS make it so that you can make any rgb color variation ™

severe temple

#

I will not

severe temple
#

but i dont think there's currently even a framework for it in that could handle it, except adding every possible combination as a tile sheet

#

which uh.... lets not

#

depends on how they render shit

base black and white + rgb multiply

but imma be honest, that does feel like a 1.0 fluff feature

That would certainly be fun alongside the liquid system to mix different paint colors

Just make any color possible lol

So THATS what you were working on haha

lmao yup. Should have taken 5 minutes... took 90

to be fair, every mod I've made so far has been like that. "Oh this should be a quick little thing".... days later.

#

Well after youve done it once it only gets faster!

that's what I thought when I tackled this one 😛

lots of learning though

actually... don't think this would be too hard

I do would like a tutorial about how to wield the new crafting system into making things like the drying rack, because i see a lot of cool things you could do with it

I know bits and pieces but I am not a modder, sometimes I like to tinker

chilly sable
#

I have the mindset of always work, just slower and less. I also apply this mindset to my favorite melee category in PZ, short blade, the only type I can seemingly never lose energy in or gain muscle strain, sure it takes a while to kill them, but it's easier to not worry about resting.

#

When I worked at _________, I didn't take breaks when I should have, but I just worked less hard, same outcome and I felt better at the end of the day.
Edit: not X the company, just not stating which, whoops lol

it’s okay, you’re allowed to say you worked at Spiffo’s. Slicing all those meats, potatoes, and lettuce heads helped leveled up your short blade skill

there's a reason why countries with high workers rights are also generally pretty far on top of the gdp per capita list

I recall seeing it in Teacup, but it's a pretty common(ish) saying

severe temple

but yeah, i did some localization as a hobby at some point, you can definitely tell when I rushed a project vs when i was really invested

so that is even more impactful when its creative jobs

It's strange, apparently the remaining parts of the sign are there, but the problem is that you can't see the right and left sides of the sign. You can even climb up and take the sign with you. I tried looking at it from various positions and never saw the two missing sides, only the middle one. It seems like a bug.

void shard

Hmm, interestingly, I just discovered that if you place the sign, it won't let you pick it up again.

#

although now placed manually if it looks complete

void shard

ohhhh dang that is wild lol

speaking of things that can't be picked up

#

I noticed traffic cones that have been squished are perma there and can't be picked up

so I got the first test of the racoon skin, I got it to show up and I can load a run with the mod enabled, I go in via debug and I spawn racoons and they aren't replacing textures pz_scream pz_rage

I understand naming things is hard but why not something more clear like

  • unstable 42.15.0
  • unstable 42.14.1

I don't get hiding the versions, just causes more confusion for people not in the loop

jagged heron
#

Because Steam doesn't let you rename branches, so when we drop the next branch which isn't 42.15.0, it becomes a problem

#

Or rather it gives us more work

and would actually cause issues for people on the branch

Any reason why guns for name changes? Like I wouldn't think IMI is kicking in the door over D-E pistol

I was not involved in any of those decisions (and have no actual knowledge on the topic), but I would assume it's a "why risk it" sort of thing

quartz void

Like M14 was generic and military, making it M1A opens it up more actually imo. But then the revolvers losing their names and the D-E just feels weird

I can only assume the M14 change was cuz you can't full auto it, like a real M14

vintage story is what pz crafting wishes it could be

#

the baki torture of survival games

severe temple
#

you just get a lot more interacitivity because of the difference in perspectives

#

the new crafting system is in, its just not stuffed full with the new option that were originally planned for b42 but have been moved in to the future

#

tho i do kinda would like the farming system to be taken over, but it would be a tad overkill for zomboid needs

tight hare
#

vintage story is far more complex

#

pz I'd say is actually a bit more casual than vintage story

#

for VS they literally have you blowing into the fire to increase the temp so you can properly make steel, they have you shaping the items, etc

severe temple
#

i know it wont happen, but i would really enjoy a modernized version of hydrocraft

nova flicker
#

with the flat horses

#

that was like one of the first mods i ever used

severe temple
#

but thats a huge project, so at this point you are probably just better off to rewrite the entire thing instead of porting it onto yet another version with life support

tight hare
severe temple
#

especially because a lot of its system are now obsolete with the new crafting system in place

tight hare
#

and that's fine -- I think -- though I'd like more of vs type stuff, pz has its own niche with crafting being a part of it, not it

severe temple
#

just wait till it hits stable and people start to figure out the system

tight hare
#

I sincerely doubt crafting will be massively expanded upon even if b42 hits stable

#

I'm not even a hater (again), just my impression on it

#

Or rather, expanded upon in a moreeee "minigame"-y, involved way, rather than making the 10th recipe in a row.

severe temple
#

eh, imma wait to see what modders come up with

tight hare
#

those are mods, not vanilla :^)

#

when I make assumptions on systems it's purely vanilla and you can see this because I suggest that some mods should be vanilla already

#

and I've went through the entire post crafting system legit, from zero to hero

#

got all the skill and recipe books, got the materials, got the tools, crafted and built my way up to advanced forges

#

to me it felt like a chore tbh

#

maybe if crafting was more involved (again, minigames for example), it'd be a bit more fun

#

when I did it, it was pretty much craft something 500x times to level up, go loot other places, turn cars into scrap, etc

nova flicker
severe temple
#

you'll enjoy microcrafting, and you'll do it 8 times over

nova flicker
#

NO LMAO

chilly sable
#

A big part of the B42 update was making it easier for modders to make complicated systems with crafting

severe temple
#

yeah and they definitely did

#

the only reason why we dont see much yet, is because you'd be playing catch up with the minor updates until stable comes out

pearl basin
chilly sable
#

Yes, that would be great

tight hare
#

Eg. opening doors without being forced to hack and slash them to death; being able to see behind trees (I sincerely doubt a zombie could be super stealthy around the very edge of a treeline); being able to see npcs and players and objects behind sprites when your character pov would be able to do so (it's common sense, really); and the list goes on (possibly ad nauseam)

#

these are just the most basic qol things imo

#

2nd part would also be qol for driving ngl

echo rapids
#

imo computers should have documents in them

hexed mountain
#

I hope they adds bees in base game pz since kentucky has a massive export of honey

echo rapids
#

so you either bring it home or get the power on and read whatever files are in there... ideally informative ones lol

#

and floppies :0

#

though theyd probably have disc drives too more often than not

tame whale
# tight hare

This. Like idk if it's possible to check how many trees are between a player and a zed in the code, but combine this with a simple isZombieMoving check and you could allow the player to see moving zeds behind 1 tree, but see nothing behind multiple trees? Wether or not you can see a stationary zombie behind a single tree could just be proximity dependent.

That or just have whatever is actually occluding vision be a lot more accurate to the graphics of the tree lol
