The latest post on the Die2Nite Facebook page suggests that the English version will soon be getting camping added as a feature. Based on the versions for other languages, can someone give an overview of how camping works and what benefits it provides?

Q: Do materials get used when you start a construction in Die2Nite?

Do materials get used when you start a construction in Die2Nite? Or, do they get used when you finish a construction?

Q: Do items left on the ground in the wilderness stay there overnight?

5

I have too many items to carry home; what should I do? Nobody in town is able to help me carry it back. I don't have enough AP and food/water to make the round trip. And nighttime is falling really soon.

Q: How much AP does it cost to launch the catapult with the calibrated catapult built?

5

I know the normal catapult uses 4AP to launch an object into the desert, but I can't find the AP cost for the calibrated catapult anywhere. Is it 3AP? 2AP? I'd rather not build it and find out. None of my towns are every planning on building the catapult, but I'm curious.

Q: How to close a thread in die2nite forums?

4

Does the Crow do that or...? How does it work? I've posted a distress call, I've been rescued, and now I'm looking for a "close thread" button/link/anything, and can't find it anywhere.

Q: Do the bigger maps still have only 10 buildings?

2

Since v1.2, some towns have a 25*25grid, in stead of the old 12*12. did the amount of buildings go up in these big maps or is it harder to find buildings?

Q: Scavenging the town

So the town died in the attack last night. Unfortunate, but I saw it coming. I hightailed it away and camped out in the wilderness, trusting luck rather than my fellow residents. I am now the only person alive. I've been lucky scavenging. I've found plywood to reinforce my hole-in-the-ground shel...

@powerlord testing if this pings you (due to discussion in the other room)

so we had @Brant, @GnomeSlice, @badp, @desolation & @FallenAngelEyes talk in here

I was all "Where the hell did that ping come from"

user30

5:38 PM

which means we need 33 more people. good times.

We'll never get that many people.

^What he said

Not unless we dip into friends of gaming.SE people, or the entire SE network.

Is it possible to just have a town with X people instead of 40?

user30

Nope

Well that's just silly.

user30

5:41 PM

I wonder if any mso'ers would be up for it

user30

I never really wander into that neck of the woods though

badp

7:17 PM

why do we need 40?

Brant

Because other people suck.

Yo. Just saw this.

user30

8:23 PM

apparently you can make a coalition of 40 people now

user30

which would mean that we would fill a town

8:58 PM

So is the coalition already open for others to join or do we have to be a certain level or something?

user30

um, good question

Kevin Y

I played Die2Nite for about 2 towns before I got bored of it. I'd be open to joining a Gaming.SE town, though.

Star this if you'll play Die2Nite

easy way to keep track of numbers

Brant

@Wipqozn There.

that works

Kevin Y

9:07 PM

Stars for you!

I don't think we'll reach 40 stars though. :/

I don't even think we have 40 regular people in chat, do we?

@Wipqozn Pinned.

@FallenAngelEyes No, but we can direct people interested in it to here.

It's a matter of finding out how to aadvertise it.

@Wipqozn I DIDN'T SAY THAT

We should make a blog post.

9:09 PM

smacks with dead trout

@Manaಠдಠ I do that a lot with you

@Wipqozn You should. Quick, make one now so we have a post for Friday :D

I think it makes more sense for @ThomasMcDonald to do one.

@Wipqozn Good idea bro. Let's do it. We should include a paragraph explaining how Die2Nite works.

@Manaಠдಠ I've never played, so I would like that :P

9:10 PM

The only problem is that a lot of stuff has changed since when we used to play.

well let's get 40 people, test it out then make the blog post so we can get 40 people to play with

user30

when the server comes back up I can add those not currently in the coalition

@Wipqozn You don't have to find 40 people to test it out. The game assigns you into a village.

Ah yeah, 11pm just hit

@Manaಠдಠ that was a joke yo

9:12 PM

@Wipqozn I HATE YOU SO MUCH

@Manaಠдಠ IF it helps, I love myself enough for the both of us.

10:40 PM

It's mentioned in the Die2Nite changelog that "Each map can accommodate no more than 20 "coalition members". One place is taken each time: a citizen joins a town with their coalition (randomly or otherwise), or when a Hero chooses this town from the list."

That might throw a wrench in our plans for this.

If by "wrench" you mean that's a just stupid idea on their part, then yeah, yeah it is.

I assume if you pay they remove that?

They don't make any mention of benefits to Heroes.

Then that's even worse. At least that way it would be a way for them to reward paying players, but not allowing anyone to do it is just stupid.

I guess it makes sense, since part of the idea of the game is that you usually are stuck with a few people who do dumb things or who don't listen to your plans.

If you could do all 40 people in a coalition it would take out that element and all the skilled people would simply be off in their own skilled towns while the newbies suffer.

That's the fault of the newbies?

That would be like if valve forbid clans from making private servers, or that only half the clan could be on at one time.

true, true. But Die2Nite isn't really a competitive game so much as it is about trying to organize a group of strangers

in that sense the coalition system kind of sucks since it ruins the point of the game to begin with

YEs, but you shouldn't be forcing people to play one specific way.

fair enough.

I can understand the reasoning,but then add the option for players to not join a server with X number of coalition players.

You don't just ban it all together to punish players that want to play that way.

As you can tell, that really irks me.

Yeah, I understand.

Man, I need to figure out who I'm voting for mod. I think I've got a good idea who my first choice'll be but I've no idea for my second one.
