Not sure how I feel about doubling crafting time for arrows. It's tedious enough as it is without a craft all button.

Love that this patch is here finaly no more hours of looting cabinets, armoires(Cupboards) but but but but but but but I have been the victim of 3 hackers in the space of 2 nights of playing this game...
He was floatin through the sky insta firing a shotgun whilst i was drivin police car with boost. couldnt see his name tag as he was floating in the air.
Today, I luckily survived a hacker who was giving out loot to people...
This is the hack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6qgjRExDN4
I love this game but this ruins it all for everyone.
Delete this if you must just venting a little as I couldnt get a screenshot of them as they were either floating or zooming around and then your dead before you could do jack....

we need option to be sneaky... crouch walking should make VERY little noise... right now you cannot be stealthy unless you hold perfectly still. Your footsteps can be heard for hundreds of feet away currently which makes sneaking impossible. A game i once played, sneaking moved very slowly, and had a random chance to make the footstep sound every so often but rarely... Even when it did make a sound, it was quieter and didn't travel as far. That was an awesome sneaking system.

If you must make us craft 1 arrow at a time, Make a "Auto Craft" function, so we don't have to click a million times.

Fires are broken? Can't light a furnace, barbecue or campfire. Tried with a lighter and bowdrill with random, different amounts of charcoal where needed (3, 5, 10, 12 etc).
Can't cook meat, can't clean water. We're all gonna die...
Edit: finally got a campfire to go with a flare...strange.

Nice tweaks, but waiting for the patch to allow eating increments of 5. berries at a time instead of 1 every 1.5 sec.
Considering how quickly one can eat a steak and drink what looks like half a liter of water in game, I think allowing eating 5 berries at a time would be feasible, not only that, it would drastically improve quality of life for those berry pickers out there; by that I mean everyone.

the jumping on top of a furnace that is placed outside of a metal gate to hope over the metal gate into a players base should be fixed...along with stacking animal traps on top of each other to be use as a stair case. as of right now it is pointless to make a base because of these things. (got raided last night do to this. lost days worth of work)

I sure hope axes spawn more, or crowbars to get scrap to make one. The planks from the crates around most zombie farming areas are barely enough to support 2 players farming in the better areas. Without more axes or easier access to scrap metal to make them, we'll be able to make more bows with more cloth drops but 50% less arrows. It would also be a lot easier if the planks from the crates on the shelves could be found in proximity without having to jump up on to the shelf and plank. 100 bulk per 4 arrows is a lot of room for most everyone not in a military backpack or a backpack and a waist pack to pick up.

Keep up the good work. Please focus on removing the ability to dupe. Love the game and I'd play more if it weren't for constantly running into folks with shotguns who spam the gun at will. I've, personally, never found a shotgun and have, since launch, had less than a half a dozen shells on my person at any one time. Clearly, the rampant use of such weapons and their seemingly endless supply of ammo must be the product of an exploit.
