I have a few new ideas!
 
Inspired by viral hepatitis, malaria, rabies virus, HIV, measles, poliomyelitis and ofc influenza virus.
 
I'd like to make at least 2 types of virus: male virus and female virus. But it's a minimum that I want. May be more virus types and stages of immunity.
 
What do you think how to make it more interesting?

Hello!
 
Long story short we die A LOT because of bite or scratch.
 
So I decided to make a mod with item which can cure the virus.

 
Recipe:
TOTALLY UNKNOWN until you research it in the game.
It is uniqure recipe for each game session.

P.S.  Actually I'd like to make good medicine mod. But it must be well designed. So there won't be many useless items. And existing items will be logical connected, preferring to use game items.

Thank you for your suggestions.
Now the recipe is random. And if you unlucky and one of the ingredient will be fresh apple for example, it will be difficult to get it in SP without respawning of items (but you can still use rotten apple using more complicated craft). Anyway even in MP craft is not easy because each ingredient has its own recipe, and these recipes are very rare.

I researched the map for my own needs and created a list of some rooms.
 
West Point (Center):
 
West Point:
 
Muldraugh:
 
Rosewood:
 
Here are some popular containers in known rooms (dirty draft):
 

You need free 40kg in your inventory.
Character can take items until inventory is full - maximum 50kg. So items in inventory including equipped items must be under 10kg.
Just drop your bags and most of heavy items and you will be able to drag generator to your inventory.

This has also happened to me on stream caught a highlight of it here:
 

I originally posted this and some additional ideas for improving the crafting UX on the (ignored?) Steam suggestions forum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/108600/discussions/2/1743357605563279503/
 
tl;dr: It's hard to search for recipes, and in general to use the crafting UI to explore what is possible to craft, resulting in tons of immersion-breaking Alt+Tab to the wiki. We need a global recipe search. And ideally we should be able search among other things than just the recipe name, like components/tools, skills required, result (useful when recipe name and result differs) to be able to discover, in game, what is  possible to do.
 
Attached you find a patch that implements global recipe search by adding an All category; just select that category and use the filter to search among all recipes.
 
Attached you'll also find a bonus patch that binds / to focus the filter entry.

I am unable to build the Big Double Pole Gate (option is red) even though I have all the listed materials:
 

 
However I decided, oh well, I'll make a Double Fence Gate instead, and grabbed some Wire. Lo and behold, I can now build the BDPG:
 

 
Update: it doesn't actually use the wire, it just won't work without it!
 
Update2: OK I just realised it didn't use ANY of the ingredients to make the gate except the two hinges! That could be a bit of an exploit... only requires level 8 Metalworking  
 

This is only message that we have. Sometimes we have info about someone killed someone else (even if it is NOT the cause).
What about "someone was killed by posion"?
"by virus"
"was eaten by zombies"
"was cold to death"
"burned"
etc etc

How many objects using power have you got in the building that is powered by the generator? Has this number increased? Generator will use more fuel to power more appliances so it seems)
 

Isn't the beard color the same one that you chose for hair?

Thats kind of like asking whats the best gun to shoot someone with IRL
 
Its going to depend on situation. But in general, you're going to want to maximize damage as fast as possible which means any of the .308/7.62 battle rifles. The heavier ones are better in full auto since it absorbs recoil, but a major drawback in semi auto mode.
 
Its also really going to depend on factors such as accuracy...if your expecting to miss a number of shots or fighting multiple targets it might be worth using a 5.56 M-16 (or similar) instead, so you've got 30 round mags instead of 20 (less time wasted reloading).
 
If you really need to engage multiple targets then the M249 since its got that 200 round belt, its heavy as hell so doesn't suffer as much accuracy penalty in full auto. The main drawback is the shorter 18" barrel will do slightly less damage then a 20" M-16, and substantially less then a 20+ inch 7.62mm

1. /additem "Base.SoupBowl"
2. Put bowl of uncooked soup into the microwave
3. turn the microwave on
3. Get an item out  of microwave  without explicitly turning microwave off.
 
At this point microwave turn itself off on a client. But not on server.
 
4. Log out
5. Log in
 
Expected result: microwave is off.
Actual result: microwave is on.

Every time you edit an item (for example, Car Battery Type Standard), the game will add status and/or type suffix to item's name (for example, after I change battery's 'used delta' it's name from 'Car Battery Type Standard' will change to 'Car Battery Type Standard Type Standard' and if I decide to edit in once again it'll add it's type to the name once more: 'Car Battery Type Standard Type Standard Type Standard'). it's purely cosmetic and doesn't really bother anyone, but still.

This is only message that we have. Sometimes we have info about someone killed someone else (even if it is NOT the cause).
What about "someone was killed by posion"?
"by virus"
"was eaten by zombies"
"was cold to death"
"burned"
etc etc

Also this can make Zombies-in-the-car thing real. Like they would be able to crawl inside the car through the window and you will be able to fight against them.

Infection is enabled and number of zombies is roughly 80% more than default.

Favorited items should be excluded from a number of things. They should not appear on any of the lists of items to dismantle/disassemble, to add to a campfire as fuel, to anything that would destroy the object. It would also be nice if the favorite stays with the object as it changes state as well, like when a water bottle changes to become an empty water bottle, or a bowl becomes a salad and then a bowl once again.

If the item is in favorite (with a star), you cant drop it, BUT you can still scrap it accidentally. Make it like so if you favorite an item you cant scrap it, remove or anything else like that.

1. Metal items like forks in turned on Microwaves don't make them explode, however, this nasty sound still plays. Same with Gas canister in Ovens and Campfires.
2. For some reason metal roofs, concrete floors and brick walls can burn, and this will make them look like a wooden burnt walls and floors.
3. Maybe it's just me, but for some reason I could set oven on fire by not turning it off only while sleeping.
4. Fire doesn't destroy items on the ground.
5. Burnt down houses still have electricity in it.
6. If multi-tile wasn't burnt fully, the last part of it will float a bit and have "transparent spot" (side of the item that is transparent and you can look through it).

v40.43
I can't write in notepad using red pen or blue pen (only common pen or pencil).
 

I think they will end up adding it, but it will be a while.  At the very least animations need to be out and relatively finalized before they would add it. (I see it more as a post 1.0 release though - or at least close to it.) 

I'd personally love to see that in the game, it was mentioned in one of the thursdoids a few months ago as a distant possibility:

How to reproduce:
1. Join (any) dedicated server.
2. Get a Sheet of Paper. It doesn't matter if there already is some text.
3. Put Sheet of Paper in a bookcase OR put it on the ground. Not in your inventory.
4. Write some text using a pencil.
5. Go to another location (at least 300 tiles from this place I guess).
6. Go back.
7. Try read your text. It's disappeared! The Sheet of Paper is in the same state as it was on step 2.
 
P.S. I lost huge text that I wrote for my teammates.
