Does this a bug or a feature what mechanics experience has very slow gain even with skill book?

Mechanics skill XP gain is WIP. The team is working on balance between simple and more skilled tasks, success and failure rates and avoidance of repetition which usually leads to "grind" (installing/reinstalling the same battery repeatedly, for instance) Plus, the skill should fit in nicely with already established skills...This may take some time to get right. So keep the feedback coming! (within reason, obviously ) Kuren, halkaze and GoodOldLeon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglistjim Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 hi, will the Drop function go back to dropping into the container you have selected at any point? also when selecting Drop from a backpack - will it go back to just dropping instead of unpacking then dropping? i noticed drop function had changed a while ago - but never brought it up. Its annoying when you have a few things in your inventory and you cant drop them into container - instead have to drop to floor then drag from floor to container. i know you can right click and "put in container" - but if you have more than one of any item it means you have to put them all in there. e.g i have 4 chips, i want to put one into container/shelf/crate/car there is no way to just put one in using one click anymore. if this has already been addressed - i am sorry i missed it. cheers Jason132 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are accessible via RMC. You can also "drag" item from your character inventory/backpack to a container, if you do not wish to use the "clicking" version. You can "transfer all" or "loot all" both to/from the floor/container. In your example with 4 packets of chips: you just expand the item view and transfer 1 packet (by "drag" or by RMC > transfer/drop) Simply put, junglistjimI do not understand where the problem is? trombonaught 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxD12 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I think that some car aspects need balance. For example, one- I survived 1 month and 23 days in Riverside and didn't find any car jack. 6 wrenches and 3 lug wrenches is mine, but there is no one car jack in town and outskirts. Even axes and sledgehammers is more common in my game than this... Second- driving is really good now, but there is strange situation- I can make a tons of gasoline before electricity shut off. But car mechanic is definitely hard for me- mufflers and tires degrades even faster than gas, and upgrading mechanic skill is hard too. Small xp without mechanic proffesion or trait makes it really difficult task. I wanted to upgrade my mechanic skill to 3 level, but without car jack and even with skill book it really hard right now. (And I can suggest-some actions like removing car batteries and lights do not require mechanic skill,but also do not give any xp. I think that this actions could require mechanic skill 1 like removing tires to upgrade skill faster.) And third- loot in cars is really common now, but it's quality is pretty low. Only notebooks,tissues,flashlights,clothing etc. In Riverside there is many good loot,but in other towns like Muldraugh and Rosewood it might be useful to fing rare items in cars. Checked a lot of cars- almost all things are in glove boxes, in trunks there is really lack of things. Loot in zombies with "lucky" trait are more usefull compared to loot in cars with the same trait, so it makes more sense to fight with zombies to find good stuff than looting almost all cars in town.I find 5 axes in good condition in zombie corpses when killed 1342 zombies and any rare weapon or something in cars. About bugs- some corpses of zombies that I killed is dissapearing. I realised that it happens offten around buildings and grass. Corpses is still lootable, but they are invisible. And another bug- the beard of my character once changed its color to more lighter ( I played with goatee and stubble together), but on the same day the color returned to normal. (Just now remember that in 38 version of vehicle test the full beard of my character is disappear after one game loading, don't encounter with this bug in next versions, maybe it's fixed now ) Pandorea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B33ware Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Today I have electricity shut off (in a real world lol) and after I load my game-my car was disappeared but my char was exactly in a place when I was with my car. So much loot is gone Pandorea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car battery drains really fast. I found a Fire Department Dash Bulldriver in good condition and drove it from the Rosewood Firehouse all the way to the farmhouse near the farmers market outside Rosewood and the car battery went from 99% to 60% car batteries dont die from driving for long periods of time. hopefully some way to make car battery last much longer. Also muffler still seems to degrade too fast but my car battery seems to drain much faster then muffler. Did you have any crash with your car, or rammed zombies?

Icy Motto Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Currently I have been playing on a custom survival setting on sandbox and things have been pretty good even with multiple mods of my choice being used. I am currently at around Day 17 and my power has gone out in-game, and so far so good. The zeds are forming pretty big hordes and my game has yet to still lag or stutter at all. I used to have horrible lag and stutters before but not any more. Averaging from a solid 100fps to a constant 60fps when big hordes and action is going on. I haven't experienced any horrible bugs or glitches or for a matter of fact, any game problems that have to do with my system like any crashes or errors popping up..... and yes, I have tested mostly everything from different scenarios and settings on sandbox and they all work great. I can give out screenshots of the settings and mods if you'd like later. Even in-game performance with the FPS counter on top. I have been enjoying the new addition of vehicles and have been able to do things I didn't do before like take long trips without worrying about wasting time running to that location, therefore moving bases, and items, are now a more viable thing for me. Since I never had the courage of moving from one base to another place. Ex. Setting a base at Riverside then moving to Muldraugh. I can escape dire and dangerous situations where as before I'd probably die. I could write much more about how many things vehicles have changed in terms of game play. I do have some complaints and more feedback to give to the devs but I can't think of too much right now since I am at work at the time of writing this. If you want the extra feedback or want to ask me specific questions, feel free to ask them. I will give my best responses to help with the feedback gathering. Also I will be giving my PC specs once I get home. QnA made by myself: Q:Do you think vehicles are overpowered? Or game breaking? A:No I firmly believe that at their current state they are not op in any way due to the fact that they will at some point break down and you can get in a situation where you're stuck and the zeds will end up breaking your windows for their tasty meal. You can even have injuries if you crash which makes driving vehicles less op. They are great at the moment and I believe they are balanced. At some point you won't be able to refuel your car since power goes out, gas goes too. So stocking up on gas is crucial. Q: Have you ran over zombies and crashed? A: Yes, I have gotten a few zeds killed just by ramming into them but it isn't the best way of clearing them, again, it's balanced. And yes I've had accidents. Q: Have you experienced any game breaking vehicle bugs or glitches? A: No, not yet atleast. They are working fine. Q: Does it lag or stutter at all when driving around the map? A: Not really, even though I do get the occasional lag hiccup every now and then. But only had it happen 4 times when there's a lot of trees around. I'll reply to question instead of putting them here. Feedback regarding car sounds: I don't like that the sounds can be heard looping, specially when sounding the horn, backing up in vans, and sometimes the engine sounds hiccup or can be heard looping. Please add more variety of crashing sounds instead of the generic glass shattering sound. Driving: It's good where it's at. Additional vehicle details that I would like to see: The heater and cooler don't seem to be working, everything is fine but it seems like it either is ineffective or not working. Please add a digital clock to the car dashboard. Some vehicles damage textures are weird, like red paint on the glass? Will there be visible movement/actions whenever the anims come out? Like if I open the car door or trunk, will we see that? On an old mondoid I saw a car with an open door. Will we get more vehicles like bikes, motorcycles, buses, big trucks/commercial trucks etc..? Ok that's it for now, this is the biggest thread I've made and I don't want to make it any bigger than this or else readers will ignore and not see this. I just want to help the devs and contribute to the topic. Thank you.

What do you mean by "scared"? Does your character become "slightly panicked" at a sight of zombies? That is a normal reaction, since "desensitized" means the char should not reach a state of panic, which is the next level here. If that is not what happens, then what other traits has your veteran character got? Kuren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I understood it incorrectly but I remember that in current build I never reached even slightly panic with Veteran Class... so maybe the current build is bugged PS :. More important, if it is possible option to swap A - D when driving, since it is very counter intuitive to turn. I do not know if this is a shared feeling.

When you press "A", you want to turn left, that's right ? when you post for that first time, I reflect a long time to how people can play with A for right and D for left. As I know some people play with inverted mouse axes, but to drive a car, unless driving mainly backward, I don't understand.
