35.2 still hasn't fixed my problem...
 
All my Pokemans still have three footprints underneath them in my "Nearby". Get it together, TIS.

It's a reference to Pokemon Go and the recent bug/issue of the tracking feature ("Nearby") not working for the past week or so. Needless to say Niantic is most likely a larger development team with far more resources and money to go around so I'm assuming/hoping this is a joke with good intentions, saying people who complain about TIS are silly to do so when Niantic hasn't fixed bugs people have been complaining about since day one and Pokemon Go is a far more successful game to say the least. Then again, I could be wrong and it's just a random reference for the sake of making it and trying to be funny lol

I do not know what this means.

System use all this already Lipids/Carb/Prot/Calories, all have an effect

Completely agree with this, would love to see the two separated.
 
As of now I like to imagine the cracks in store walls are from all the zed pounding... on the doors..
 
I like the vegetation growth though, part of me would actually like to see natures growth expanded on, or maybe just a higher setting (anyone ever experienced a kudzu problem? I have watched it grow a foot a day, if anything is ever going to mutate into man eating vines, its kudzu).
 
I'm curious about thoughts on trees growing also, really just saplings to make open spaces somewhat less open over time, I feel like it has been addressed somewhere before though. I try to live as long as possible, never anything near long enough to see a full grown tree develop, but 3-5 ft saplings of many types of trees develop quickly (i pull new 4-6" maple shoots from my rose bushes every two weeks), and it could make for a really interesting complication as months go by and those open space become more obstructed.

Alarm clocks/Sleeping tweaks:
Your alarm clock and digital watches are now usefull to wake you up! Without them, you'll wake up only when your character is not tired anymore Set the time to ring the alarm, enable it and you're good. And don't forget to turn off the alarm... Your character can have trouble falling asleep, meaning he could wake up still a bit tired You'll not be able to sleep if you're in pain or panicked (you can counter this with sleeping pills...), while being anxious could bring some nightmares... Clock (top right screen) is hidden if you don't have an alarm clock or a digital watch in your inventory

Multiple stage building:
You're now able to upgrade your constructions if you have to appropriate skills It'll take some materials to upgrade your constructions and you need the right skill (ex: you build a wall lvl 1, then hit lvl 4 carpentry, right click on the wall and upgrade it!) You now first need to build a frame (wooden or metal) before building a wall or a window.  
Added sleeping quality:
Sleeping on a good bed could reduce the needed time to sleep a tad On the other hand, sleeping on a chair or some couch could make you tired even after waking up (understand you had a bad night, trouble to fall asleep..) and some pain in the neck You can't sleep if too much in pain or anxious, take some sleeping pills to counter this       
Added compost:
Build them from the carpentry menu, under furniture Put food in it, when the food is rotten it'll start to transform slowly into compost, more or less depending on it's hunger value When the compost is at least 10% full, you can grab some compost with an empty sandbag Then use the compost just like the fertilizer, it'll make your farming plants grow faster!  
Inventory Experimental Tweaks:
Goal: make it feel more like a windows explorer Using "shift" key now select a list and not a single item (you first select an item, press shift and another item, it'll select everything between your first selection and your second) Using "control" key now select one more item/unselect in the list, just like the "shift" key did before Increased a tad the highlighted white rectangle of selected items Unselect items when clicking outside the inventory Ctrl key (or anything you binded on "Aim") still stop moving the camera when inside the inventory

Balanced nutrition, weight progression should be more linear... (really need feedback on this one ;)) Adjusted zombie behaviour in terms of night-time house lighting Changed way "lucky" and "unlucky" traits works, changed the way lower odds, it's now a fixed % instead of weird numbers calculation. Renamed "Build" menu into "Carpentry" Chef and Burger flipper can't take the "Cook" trait You can now find watches sometimes directly on dead zombies Claustophobic panic will now depend on the room size + Capped it so beta effect still works Made some fixes in the tutorial/improve it.     "EXIT" -> "QUIT", "RETURN" -> "RESUME" in Main menu Trap Stick -> Stick Trap   Barricade context menu becomes now Barricade (Planks) Falling take your weight, athleticism and type of floor to calcul fracture/damage done Falling more than three storeys is always fatal Reduced how the stats multiplier sandbox option impact fatigue in easy difficulty Stairs planks and nails requirement increased from 8 to 15    Tweaked a bit how the fire spread, should less spread/start on non desired tiles (roads...)

Patches:

Read between the lines of last week's mondoid 'after anims' and 5 stage release plan
 
We'll talk more after anims go live

I can't help but hear a bitter old man voice when I see this bald guy admiring his blocked off windows:
 
"That'll keep those damned whipper snappers out of my house!"

Yay! New sneak-peak from RJ! I know this will probably be in the next Mondoid, but uh... Yay?
 

TIS could relocate to the US. Maybe a nice small town in KY? Anyone ever hear of Muldraugh or West Point?

The last comment wins obvs lol.. in logic: argumentum ad infinitum - arguing until no one cares anymore

Just stopped by to say:

I think the idea of the vast majority of the forging being done in a separate location is a fantastic idea for both realism and challenge. Provided, that is, that we get something like a wheelbarrow simultaneously to move scrap/finished products from one place to another. It would add a huge element of risk/reward to clear the forging area out and protect it. Maybe some people might choose to make their base there and turn it into a metal fortress. I think it would be an amazing dynamic for multiplayer and give those people who like to play out in the woods where Zombies never show up a reason to leave the safety of their cabins.
 
Edit: Or perhaps those areas will allow for a greater quantity to be forged at once, or something, for bigger groups/jobs.

I hope you went for the "non buildable" furnace in the end, I love the idea of having to secure the area around a pre existing furnace in order to use it, it adds a lot to the late game

Just for shits and giggles; Here are some things I found in build 34.24. 
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=683033424
 
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=682648014

Very exciting!  Cannot wait to see the metalworking and animations added too.  I recently got four of my friends into the game so we're all very amped for that.

I don't regret for one second getting a copy of this game and buying it for muh friends. 

Public 34.23 released!
 
There were many fixes and tweaks, here are the highlights:
All-new double-sized textures. Easy Co-op server hosting from in the game. Double-sized Tilesets option for low-spec machines. There's a new server-settings editor in-game. Barricades are allowed on both sides of a door/window.  For doors, barricades absorb all damage before the door takes any, to stop the door being destroyed before the barricades.  For windows, a barricade absorbs damage only when it is between the attacker and the window.  When removing a barricade, one plank at a time is removed. Allow rain barrels to be moved. Added SleepAllowed and SleepNeeded server options for multiplayer sleeping.  Players may sleep at any time.  When all players are asleep, the server clock speeds up.  Players sleep until they wake themselves by aiming or moving.  Players may wake other players.  Zombie attacks also wake players. Fireplaces work like campfires. Wood stoves now work like campfires.  They emit light, warm/dry the player, can be used for cooking, and don't require electricity. See-through doors. Hang sheets on see-through doors. Fixed walls and solid objects on the floor below blocking movement going up stairs. Staircases may now be placed above another staircase. Crates can now be moved with the furniture-moving commands.  When building new crates, the height is chosen automatically (no need to use the R key).  Currently, this allows stacking crates on top of tables as well, although that might change.  Destroying crates lower in a stack should cause the higher crates to drop down. Allow digging farm plots with a shovel.
The "levelup" sound only plays when a point may be spent. It plays in these 2 cases:
    1) The player gained a point while already having enough XP for a new perk level.
    2) The player gained enough XP for a new perk level, and already had a point to spend.
Added "Zoom Levels" checkboxes to the options so users can choose zoom levels.
Added "Pour into" submenu so you can choose what to transfer water into.
"Fill" is now a submenu of items that water can be transferred into instead of having separate menu items (when taking water from a sink, for example).
Smoke bomb changes:
- No longer start fires in multiplayer.
- Now work when fire is disabled in multiplayer.
- No longer emit light.
- Don't burn corpses.
- Use a larger smoke sprite when first triggered.
Memory-leak fixes in multiplayer.
Bags now displayed on ground.
New community translations.
Ham icon looks far less like a penis.
 

Seems a little naive in your confusion as to why the military would care or try and help.  This is a potentially apocalypse making quarantine, and you're right in the centre of it. I'm not sure if you watch TWD and remember the flashback scene of Shane in the hospital where Rick is? Or played Halflife. Or any other game or TV show or movie ever involving any quarantine event and the military? When we finally add the military soliders doing clean up sweeps into the game, are you going to run up to them going 'thank god you're here!'?
 
Suffice as to say the people in the helicopter, whatever they are doing, aren't out on a mission looking for survivors to help out.

This is great news. I've been waiting for awhile for some real threats to be added, as once you have established a nice safehouse, currently nothing is threatening.
