Chefs now properly use blades instead of blunts to do their cooking, Farmers receive a Strength boost reflecting their heavy workload, and DIY Experts now receive the Inventive trait to represent their ability to…DIY. Several Occupations have also had their point costs reduced based on observed usage impact.
One of the ideas I liked from some of the profession overhaul mods was giving Farmers +1 spear or aiming. Strength is pretty alright for a starting stat though

I think the changes to the classes are a good idea. I hope they know how to balance them, because there are classes that can be more useful in multiplayer as a specific role, but then in single-player or a less cooperative playstyle, they have no relevance at all. Likewise, professions that have many levels in a single area but may cost more don’t compete with professions that have one level in many areas, and end up being much more affordable because, on top of that, they’re cheap, and in the medium term, you benefit absurdly from the level 1 multipliers. I understand why they increased the levels in a single area, because ultimately, a profession is just that: experience in that job, but there are also professions where, in practice, you don’t end up needing that many levels to be useful on their own (except for Carpentry, Blacksmithing, and maybe Mechanics—though Carpentry is already broken as is). Take this as my personal opinion, and I hope you don’t take it the wrong way.

#

I've been engaging with Vintage Story and crafting is so, so, so much more indepth 😭. I like both VS and PZ tbh.

#

Imagine manually shaping the steel in PZ though, most people would have an aneurysm.

rustic lotus
#

VS is amazing, and like with PZ, modding does make a big difference

rocky totem
#

I think VS' depth comes from groundwork systems that PZ just doesn't have.

#

Shaping blocks and buildings is possible because of their voxel grid system.

#

This means you can carve wood and stone to make your perfect house all in vanilla.

nimble tangle
#

Additionally, one big new option for Multiplayer servers is the ability to enable Sprinters if desired!
A few days ago I was asking about that and now they have arrived in Multiplayer, awesome! spiffo

rocky totem
#

You'd start with basically minecraft-like blocks and carve them down 🙂

#

It's something I'd like more from PZ to be completely honest. That is, not a super mega indepth system, but I'd like the actions we do to be a bit more interactive.

#

I.e. say you want to sew / patch holes, make it a fun minigame.

#

Say you want to shape metal, same thing.

gleaming kelp
rocky totem
#

Sure.

gleaming kelp
#

Maybe ill have to give it a try as a voxel-fanboy

rocky totem
#

It's much more difficult than Minecraft. I'd put it way above PZ in difficulty. But once you get past that initial setup stage it's a smooth ride.

#

Big plus is that it looks great + runs much better than MC.

#

If you're a fan of in-depth survival then it's for you 🙂

# marble lance what happened to Leon and Frogski?

Nothing -- someone saw we made a post, assumed that their modlist was broken (even though no update has been released), and commented "Mods died???"

So I pre-emptively poured one out for the server mods, without checking if they still had a pulse, assuming they'd died at the same time.

They ain’t fixing diddly squat, they’re gonna hunker down on the new changes and keep tweaking it until we accept the new version. They don’t want it revert it back to what it was. I think somebody that oversees this is being prideful. They’re asking for more feedback and all they really need is 98% of us telling them “it sucks, change it back” but they don’t want to acknowledge that. Tells us all what we need to know about the controller issue

I don't have problems with cars i have problems with certain skills. Even though not really important skill in the early game and easy to level with skill books, mechanics is a pain to level up due to the number of times i have to click on stuff, some quality of life changes to that skill would be gladly appreciated. Like if i have exactly one brake or suspension in my inventory, why do i need to click which type and which brake/suspension to install? Two unnecessary clicks just for one install, multiply this by a number of brakes u wanna change and it becomes painfull

Funny but no joke, I really hope I can simply look directly left and right and sprint in this next update.

Right now we have to basically aim up on the analog stick to aim left or right. Guns are fine, by that I mean the character actually faces directly left/right while aiming, no clue why melee is so far off the mark.

Anyway, can't wait to try the new changes and be able to sprint again. 🎮

probably due to the coding they have to work with, but still.

True but bro that is bound to happen when the game is this old, im sure TIS devs have improved much over the last 13 years or however long this game has been in the ea

On the game mode side, “Other Loot” rates, which includes things like cigarettes and dental floss (which can now be used in Tailoring in place of thread) has been increased in all game modes except Extinction, and cars are a bit more likely to have gas in the tank in Apocalypse. Loot tables continue to be updated for a variety of locales, with some items becoming more plentiful overall, and several missing items added to Foraging tables.

In this passage from the blogpost, does this mean items such as "How to Use a Generator" will have a higher chance of spawning?

Or basically, the loot table will have a better chance of finding such magazine?

silent iron
chrome radish
#

I think people have made it pretty clear that they dislike the new controls and it's pretty obvious the whole new system is in a pretty rough state rn. But constructive criticism and feedback is essential. I mean we are all unpaid testers lol...

tbh all I'm really hoping for is smooth melee combat like it was before. I don't care how it's achieved. I don't use guns anyway but if you want my opinion...

For ranged weapons...

  • Left trigger:
    Aim (ie the reticule pops up and doesn't jump all over the place)
  • Right Trigger:
    Shoot
  • R3:
    Shove

Simple, classic.

Ditch this half trigger pull bs, it never works in any game. At least not in any I play lol

For movement:
It was fine how it was. If jogging must be on the stick, it should be togglable at least.

And finally for melee:
Please just make it so you can aim 360' without any deadzones.

Please just plug in a controller right now and aim left or right with a melee weapon, look at your vision cone and try and tell me that is acceptable lol. You are not facing left or right. Period. idk how that got past testing tbh

Anywayz! We love you TIS. Keep up the good work! And fire whoever approved the controller changes lol jk

This and the stairs mod are practically perfect fixes to 2 of the most common complaints in the entire community

The lack of realistic visibility in certion areas

flat turret
# echo wing Can this just become vanilla atp

It was vanilla for walls at one point, then they tried making indoor areas dark when you couldn't directly see them, that failed massively because it just flickered on screens like crazy (and in general, a lot of people didn't like the 'no memory' change), then they "reverted" it, but it left this ugly stain where you can't see inside or behind walls without being directly next to them

#

Visibility has always been bad, but this has definitely just made it worse in every way

#

The tree fade away might come when they add jumbo trees eventually, those 2 updates seem to go well together?

I feel like in this instance "stable" means "we aren't developing new features or fixing bugs". So yeah, B41 is "stable".

# red trout and it's just bug surfing until it clears all nasty pibble bugs

I sincerly hope the developers focus fully on fixing existing bugs in build 42 before considering new features, the community is pretty frustrated.
Personally I think it was a big mistake to stop developing build 41 completely. It would have been great if 41 still occasionally recieved bug fixes to keep it stable, because it itself is also quite unstable, while more experimental features and updates was kept in build 42.

knotty bane

42 has bug fixes for 41

frank stream
knotty bane
frank stream
# knotty bane That is how betas work until they get to a point where its stable, takes time. D...

I've always been a mostly vanilla guy with only minor QoL fixes and mods, the problem I have is that both 41 and 42 feel too unstable for someone like me who enjoys a more polished vanilla experience.

41 has a lot of minor bugs, bad performance, no animals, unfinished map, etc.

While 42 has more features but has a lot more game-breaking major bugs even in vanilla. It almost feels like they are adding way too many features than they can handle for a single build before polishing them into stable. With this trend it feels like it will take a year or more to have a stable build 42.

For me, a mostly vanilla enjoyer, it would be the best if build 42 focused on only adding the most requested features (better engine and performance, polished map, animals and maybe blacksmithing) while also focusing on feeling mostly stable and polished for vanilla only play.

knotty bane
#

Forgot to ask is this also MP or singleplayer? Dunno if you have ever done beta testing before for other games or products but this is pretty much the norm and why they have this type of testing for the public so that people on "stable/main build" don't have to worry about the bad ones, but it takes time. Even just the small things you mentioned they should focus on takes time to test, patch, balance. It isnt just about bug fixing its about making sure everything works together good like a cake or something.
