I'm playing 8/12 and it's hard because my favorite classes are lumberjack and blacksmith. They don'[t play well with that low setup but it's fun to try and make it happen.

[BFEL]

Because of all the "died in a fire" stuffs, I am now playing a firefighter. Because seriously, fuck fires

[Owlga]

If you didn't go around fucking fires I'm pretty sure you'd die to them less often. I mean I know they're hot...

Took me a sec to see the joke there

But yeah, its not really something I could have avoided the times it's happened...once I spawned next to triggerhappymchasaflamethrower and the other time I got stuck in a broom closet in a fuckheug building that was burning down way faster then I expected.

[MrWiggles]

Can you restore power to LMOE shelters yet?

[Micro102]

Anyone have a rough estimate to when the reality bubble size will increase and/or include other z-levels?

Other z-levels will happen at the same time as working z-levels.

As for a bubble size increase, it might happen if there are some heavy duty performance enhancements, but it's fairly unlikely. What is likely to happen is that we improve the update on loading code, so that it will properly update active items, fires, etc. as if they had been running while they weren't loaded.

Is there any way to make my dude spawn in a specific evac shelter?

I ask because my main guy died horribly to 2 riot-bots and a police bot, and except for one early on who died to the giant wasps next to the public-works building I was moving into when the robots ate me, every single character after that, up to like 15 or so, has spawned in the same two shelters, neither of which are the ones I want.

Also, is it possible to change the season length in a world, or does that require re-gen?

[azmodean]

Something else we might do instead of increasing reality bubble size is allow interacting with things outside the bubble in specific situations, such as driving a RC vehicle with a camera, or sniping at things with a rifle/scope combo, or looking around with binoculars.
Technical reasons:

Enlarging the reality bubble more has very incremental benefits, but *exponential* higher processing costs, and most people would be back to the situation from cataclysm where you had to scroll the view around all the time to do anything.

I changing season length shouldn't alter much, I'm not sure whether we made that world specific or not though, just because that's where people would expect it.

Any chance this could include solar panels and charging batteries? That's the worst part about having a static solar farm now... Most of them time when you don't want to go out it's raining and batteries won't charge. So when it's sunny you go out... and the batteries at home won't charge.

[i2amroy]

That would be one of the more likely things to get updated, yeah, though as usual it's waiting for a dev or other person to step in and actually work on it.

[Grendus]

Just came back to this, someone cranked the lethality up to 12. Hordes spawn zombies so thick you can't keep them down, all the armors have had their resistances reduced, and I swear getting hit causes more pain now than it did a few months ago. I like it. Though it completely changes the gameplay, setting up a base in the early game is outright impossible with hordes on. There's just no way for a starter character to hold any territory against the horde's mad spawn rate.

Nope, but chances are good youll wind up there anyways.

Well, try try again?

Requires regen or risking killing the save.

[Descan]

Alright. How do I risk killing the save (i.e. have the change affect the world-save)? Just change the options or do I need to somehow edit the world?

Presumably the latter. But it's a non-issue, since you can just backup the save.
