About Fabric

[UnshippedCorpse]

Just found this game and so far it looks pretty promising, concept is tried and true but, excusing some minor things for it being early access, this seems like a very good execution of that concept so far. I have hit a minor wall though:

in order to unlock the textile bench on the technology tree you need to have levels in several skills one of which is the textile/fabric related crafting skill, that seems reasonable and simple enough but I imagine to level that skill you need to craft things using fabric, and in order to get fabric I'm assuming you need the textile bench otherwise you're depending on RNG (I've found some fine fabric in boxes and a single normal piece of fabric on a zombie so far). This means that I'm so far hard locked out of making anything with fabric until I randomly stumble across more of it which is frustrating, I'm about to start into building a furnace and smelting and I'm half way to the day 7 horde but I'm still running around with no pants and no backpack which is pretty limiting and just feels silly. I think a simple fix for this could potentially be to add a recipe to make basic fabric by hand out of plant fibers, you could even add it as a tech to research just before textiles but after boards, I feel that this or similar would make the early progression much smoother.

now granted I have not interacted with any traders or merchants yet, and I've only searched about 10 or so buildings so far. I'm only about 2.5 hours into my first game after finishing the tutorial and its very possible I'm just missing something so far, either way I'm enjoying the game and I'm excited to see what the developers do next!

This game really have horde waves? I've watched a few vids on it and havent seen anything indicating that it does. Granted most of those vids didnt really make it very far into the game.

There is, made it to Day 28, so 4 horde waves so far. I think horde size is increasing. I estimate its about 15-25 zombies spawn close to you on default settings.

Yeah. I saw that situation too. There is a bit of complexity with training tech vs having experience in seemingly unrelated skill...like being able to craft bricks after you level metal which is done on the processing workbench using ore. Most people like me need to slow down and connect the dots early so I don't hit any 'brick walls' -hahaha.
