Please I beg you remove the spoil timer from organic polymer
I have never posted here before since owning the game from day one but I was hooked even more with the introduction of polymer wielding penguins that I have not even played Fallout 4 yet.

Please remove the 30 minute spoil timer or let us store it in a fridge, its ridiculous as every tribe will now camp the penguin spawn area with turrets and anyone else on the map will be unable to use this resource.

cement past has no spoil timer.

the stack nerf and damage cap and reduction in amount harvest is fine, everyone is not happy with it having a 30 minute spoil timer. prime meat having a 10 minute timer is fine because you can cook it or put it in the refrigerator.

with the nerf to harvestable amount they are pretty worthless now combined with this change.


Thankyou

I don't think removing it would be a good move. I'd rather have a way to convert it to non spoinling polymer (eg three organic polymer in a refining forge turn into one regular polymer).

Smelting 2 gives 1 polymer, we will need so much in the tech tier that thats not op

To be honest I have been very disappointed with some of the new content added in particular to the new snow biome.

First they added oil, pearls and crystal all around the area which can be easily harvested. It made owning marine dinosaurs and having scuba gear completely obsolete.

Then they add the frog which allows massive amounts of cement paste to be produced in a short amount of time, no more cave runs for chitin and having a doed to get stone.
The penguins were the latest low blow as it trivialised making polymers and makes high end gear easily accessible.

Currently all you need is to live in the snow biome with an argivents and you have access to every resource in the game. 75% of the map and the entire ocean Is now obsolete and the vast majority of the dinosaurs are no longer essential.

I know it's early access but I have some huge concerns about the direction this game is going.

Gigas spawn in snow. One ate an alpha tribes base in 10 mins on the server I play on.

Build ontop of one of the icebergs so the base can only be accessed by air. Make it from metal and set your turrets to fire at players only, range on medium. Congratulations you've just won the game ;-)

Gigas spawn next to every mountain on the map, guess what, theres a mountain in the snow! :P

I'm not going to draw you a map or give a detailed explanation on how to build a good base. Wild dinosaurs are not a threat to you base if you do it properly. Only thing you should ever be afraid of is pvo from a large and well equipped tribe.

+1, I stopped using my water dinos and indeed all the resources i need i can get at the snow biome. I would love to see some resources that ONLY spawn deep in the ocean or in the south

Yeah if they added metal and obsidian to the ocean depths then it would balance things out abit.

I have a base in the south and and underwater base in one of the sea caves. Lately I spend about 90% of my time in the snow biome and rarely go to our old bases.

I know it's early access so I understand stuff like this will happen, but I really hope they do some major rebalancing pretty soon... We don't need silly holloween mods and immortal dodo rexes. Fix the stuff we use every day :-)

People keep crying about the snowbiome.. First you need to cinstanly eat meat like all the time... sure not a problem to cook meat, but then lets see, pearls are over the whole sea if you arent lazy to dive, cementing paste is in south - swamp, caves are in the middle -east area, metal is mostly on mountains but these are in the middle of map and a bit on south too.. So is obsidian and crystals, water is everywhere, bushes for berries, everywhere but in snow and the most of them in swamp- south, wood/charcoal if you want the most per minute - south swamp, rare mushrooms/flowers - south swamp. So the only thing that snow biome offeres for living in the cold is the oil rly...
So does that bother everyone so much that you cant get the same amout of oil like people in snow? Lol, wait for the patch with the sea fish that farms oil and you will all be happy then.
Its not snow area what is the problem, its the lazy people problem.
Its peoples choice if they decide to build on south, they knew from the start that they arent close to metal spawns, wheee also most of carnivores are.. Be happy you have the swamp at least.
