    It's hilarious that it's possible to just die by standing next to some corpses for 2 in-game hours.

    Also, while I like the feature itself, I think the bloody clothes thing should have came in along with blood texture overlays for characters, the utter lack of any visuals in the area just make it feel completely "meh".

    Love the new sandbox options BTW.

    Not entirely sure that's working 'as designed' then!

     

    As for the bloody clothes thing, yeah it's definitely been built with the new anims/models in mind.

    Really looking forward to pitch-black darkness at night and hyperactive zombies, but I literally cannot decide if I wanna wait for the stable branch or help testing lol.

     

    However, I do wonder if the dirty clothing mechanic would be best added under the new animations, because I feel like without a visual indication, it would be an annoying feature,

    Well, I was standing next to some 50 dead zombies just to see what would happen, got the Fever moodle after a short while and after a while of having it my character died. I would get getting some disease and unless the character takes anti-biotics and some other medicine they will get more and more sick and after a few days or a week start to die.

    As it is it just feels like dead zombies emit Chernobyl levels of radiation.

    I killed maybe 6 - 8 zombies outside of my base and within 2 - 3 real life minutes I'm already queasy. I don't have a shovel though, so how else can I get rid of the corpses?

    Genuine question. Thanks. :)

    Everything the player can see is fairly bright even with Pitch Black nights, Flashlights are still very optional where I was hoping that it would be barely possible to walk around without them at night on that setting, I was hoping for full on Darkwood (It's a video game) like nights.

    Also, and I've had that issue since forever, flashlights themselves should be brighter. The area illuminated by the flashlight is barely brighter than the general ambient brightness of player's FOV.

    Edit: The above is 100 times worse with Shaders on.

    Random speed on zombies is my new favorite setting, some zombies kinda stutter between shambling/running sometimes. It's rare though and stops as they get close.

    The more I play the more I feel that should be the case.

    Died in 10 hours. I was never able to outrun the sickness somehow. I made it away from the corpses around my house and felt a little better for like a second, but then I decided to go back and use my new hope to clean up the corpses and the sickness went back to where it was. Finally, I decided I would have to go on the run from the sickness if I had any hope of surviving, but it seems like even the corpses that randomly spawn from the game were contributing to my sickness. Either that, or the 6 - 8 corpses at home caused an irreversible sickness that snowballed into a terminal illness, ultimately leading to my untimely death. 

     

    TL;DR - Zombies have some hardcore airborne super powered illnesses and they killed me in 10 in-game hours. :P

    I agree, Night should be more dark.

    I am dying of a fever just fighting zombies in general. 

     

    Yeah, it's bugged - RJ's going to release 38.2 tomorrow.

     

    In the meantime maybe see if the following new Sandbox option can make life easier?

    • Decaying Corpse Health Impact: Governs impact that nearby decaying bodies has on the player's health and emotions

    Finally TV programs do something!

     

    Also, if its not intended to die (because come on everyone would die by  corpses instead of actual shambeling corpses), then whats the intended effect? Be ill and have nausea?  Can it get to a point that you get used to the smell? 

    Does standing inside a house with lets say 5 corpses inside intensifies the ill effect?

     

    Also last thing, is there any type of visual que outside of the soon   animations to know your clothes are bloodied up? If the zombies go for a groin shot like they always do, i will have to change pants?

    I can't tell much of a difference between pitch black nights and what it used to be. Is it bugged? Here's a comparison of what my game looks like at night in previous builds, and here's what it looks like in the current build (It's darker indoors than it is outside).

     

    Build 37 (Survival):

    I wanna show a screenshot of Darkwood at night for comparison like Svarog mentioned, but I'm too lazy to sit in the game for 10 minutes until night for one screenshot lol. But in that game, you cannot see a thing at night. Nothing. Period. Unless you have lights on, but even then, the darkness is solid.

    Unsure of the specifics, but the current issue I believe is simply that everything happens way too fast. It's supposed to be more of an ambient effect, not to kill you in a couple of hours!

     

    RE: Darkness chat. This is me plucking a fact out of my arse, but I recall RJ telling me that he'd also fixed the 'phases of the moon' code that had been broken for a long while without us realising. As such, some nights might be darker than others - and that could account for the discrepancy in Baycon's screenshots. *All this is my personal supposition though!*

    Well, the ambient lighting levels in pitch black night are more/less fine, the real problem is the ambient brightness generated by the characters FOV, everything in front of the character is so bright that it might as well by early morning.

    It's super, super obvious if the shaders are on, everything behind the player is nearly pitch black, everything in front is 7-8am.

    I don't think setting it to low made any difference, standing next to some 20 corpses, dead in 2 in-game hours.

    The Day/Night zombie activity is waaaaaaaay overdone IMHO. The time-dilatation field the zombies are placed in (Because they look like they exist in slow motion) during their "off" hours makes them a complete and utter non-threat, I just killed 100+ zombie horde, all clumped together, with an axe during the day (Zombies are set to be more active during the night) and none of them got close to me. I didn't even have to move an inch. Just swung away until they were all dead.

    I thought that this setting would simply turn zombies into slow, stupid shamblers with minimal senses and strength when they're not active but they would still remain somewhat threatening. Like, let's say my settings are

    - Runners, Strong, Navigate + Open Doors, Superhuman Senses

    I imagined that if I set them to Active at Night, during the day they would just be.

    - Slow Shamblers, Weak, Basic Pathfinding, Very poor senses.

    Basically, whatever is the lowest possible setting for zombies, that would be applied during off hours while during the on hours they would act according to Sandbox preset.
