SUGGESTIONS: Variety of Automatic Turrets and more Survivors (Allies)

[»SoD« Thekillergreece]

I have not purchased the game yet and I am still considering to buy it today or tomorrow. This game is the exact idea I had in my mind for long time. A game about survival with crafting, you can build a compound, recruit survivors to defend your compound or come with you on missions, etc. Except my dream was the fact that the enemies were mainly animals but not zombies.

Anyway, I was thinking a different varitety of automatic turrets. I see it has one and I dont know how it works or what it does.

I was thinking the following turrets: Automatic Gun Turret, Automatic Cannon Turret and Automatic Flamethrower.

Automatic Gun Turret would be a plus for rate of fire and longer range. It would be a con for the damage.
Automatic Cannon Turret would be a plus for damage and splash damage. The con should be the short range, slow rate of fire and the fact that it can cause friendly fire to survivors, potentially killing them.
Automatic Flamethrower would be a plus for damage and the fire status on enemies, potentially killing them but rate of fire would be slow.

As for survivors.. It's kind of disappointing for me because there are only 3! But hey, it's in EA! I would like to suggest that the map should have a lot survivors to be recruited.

Perhaps survivors with variety so you dont have to see the same survivor each sandbox save files. Some survivors should be useful depending their characteristic. For example, you found a police officer survivor - That survivor would be useful in ranged weapons. An engineer survivor too, helpful to research faster or something.

Again, I didnt play this game yet, it's just my ideas! Looks a really great game and huge potential.

Your a little ahead of its current developement atm. There are no working turrets yet, nor are they really needed at this time.
Survivors aren;t fully functional yet but are good with crafting and looking pretty.
Still a fun game atm. You should however watch some game play videos on YT before deciding.

Automatic Turrets
no thanks, having to defend your base yourself is one of the games charms

Hey man, suggestion, buy the game, play it and then provide some feedback.

There is no use for auto turrets. There is no MP slated, so not needed for PvP and you get attacked by 3 bandits from time to time, defeats the purpose of a survival game if those attackers are simply wiped out by auto turrets and I find it fun sitting in a corner waiting for them to walk through my door so I can light em up.

This isn't 7D2D where hundreds of infected attack your base.

Finding the ammunition to go in the auto turrets would be interesting! On day 55, all I use is bow and arrow and trying to see how much ammunition I can gather. Think I ve got about 120 rounds of rifle ammunion - wonder how long they would last in an auto turret.

Agreed with what others have said, automatic turrets seem way too much at the game's current state. Besides, I would hope that the NPCs AI improves and they defend as well as perhaps "radio" you if/when it gets that advanced.

Also, with possible Co-Op that would seem to negate the need as well.

Either way, Bandits and Infected are really not any threat once you properly setup a base and defenses ATM.

Grab the game and play a while (it is very addicting IMHO). I highly recommend it; especially for the price. :)

Apologies.

It's just.. I saw on 1 month old video showcasing turrets.

I saw that vid too. Hopefully you'll have gathered from the posts above that at this time there isnt enough ammunition in the game (apart from arrows) in the game to make auto turrets viable.

Probably one mist at best lol

Automatic Gun Turret?? Please No! Instead, let us build watch tower and assign AI to stand guard at the expense of fatigue. Kinda like This War Of Mine.

[Cpt.Rati]

:D

Hi guys,

There are Automatic turret and watch tower ( assign AI to stand guard ) both, in my plan in the future :) ,But i have to add basic content and more infected more horde event first.

** for auto turret you need to find a blueprint (have to kill a boss may be berserker) and many rare materials.

Keep up the awsome work!

yea they just need to fix the survivor Ai (that they attack bandits to & fight properly, currently as i see from videos, they even have issues with fighting with the infected) & then its fine, turrets are to OP for this game, if he wants turrets so much he should play FO4 or FO76 or other game's that have turrets

but if they add turrets that need to be mounted & controlled by NPC ok nothing against that if they make more enemies to, bigger hordes that attach ur home then mountable turrets are ok & only then


the wooden wall is strong, that type they have currently, only thing that should brake a little bit but can be repaired is gate & it doesn't really brake 100% its more like the lock or how to call it brakes & gate opens & enemy can get in
