i didn't have much time to play yesterday so i just started farming mats and work on my base to make it look elaborate.
i started to make a castle but then realized i won't have a door i guess i can set a bunch of traps
need more inventory size for mat. these upgrade add up to make it look pretty.

Okay thanks, a bug is better than an actual stupid design choice I guess!
It's a bug, apparently it can occur when using a controller. If you're on PC you can use the mouse to make that selection to avoid the bug until you see it fixed in patch notes.

I'm lowest teir (gifted version) and got them so probably for everyone! Nice power jump!
Yep just lost a epic sniper to this shit.
What really how?, i havent seen an option on the XB1?
5 of mine went gold. Got tons of stuff. Some new heroes I hadn't seen either.

What time is it?
Played a bunch more this past week. Some random thoughts:
-Difficulty is finally picking up around the level 15 quests.
-I'm nearing the crafting limit on my home base and I'm only at upgrade level five. I wouldn't call the limit low but it isn't a lot either. You really can't be frivolous with you building designs which hurts some of the Minecraft-like appeal. You get a pop-up when you hit 2,000 remaining objects. Maybe the object limit goes up as the area expands? Either way, I had to kiss my tower to heaven goodbye.
-A trap is its' own object. For example, a floor with a trap is counted as two objects. I've littered my forts with spare traps from missions which is probably why I encountered the object limit so soon.
-I really wish you could remove traps instead of having to destroy the trap with the surface it is mounted to.
-The material limit seems at odd with itself. I completely understand why it is in place. Going into a mission with unlimited resources would make the game difficult to balance tune. But that same limit really hurts you in the sandbox mode while building your fort. A level one construction piece is 10 units of a resource, level two is 20, level three is 30 and so forth. I'm upgrading all of my construction pieces to level three and you just blow through the 999 limit in moments. I hope they let you collect by 999 in the future and just send any resource over that amount to your base.
-De-construction is a nightmare.

Just 7 founders edition llamas I think.
You also get founders coins to purchase more founders llamas as you play. I don't know if those will go away once it opens up to be F2P.
How do you upgrade building materials?
it's in the skill tree somewhere, it's expensive though, so maybe just upgrade important areas in your fort in missions
bender
What time is it?
The ability is in the builder portion of your skill tree. Once you've unlocked the skill you just hit R3 (PS4) on any surface to upgrade the level of the piece. You also have to build level 1 of a piece before upgrading. A level 3 construction piece is 50 units of a resource (Level 1 @ 10 + Level 2 @ 20 + Level 3 @ 30) Progressively upgrading the resource makes sense in missions since you guild build during battles but it's a little irksome when you are just building the fort(s) at your home base.
Damn only that for £35....seems steep!?
hence it's Early Access
3 of mine turned to gold ones. It's raining Legendaries.
Well, they just gave out 15 llamas for free for us - those are worth 1500 vbucks (the in game currency). That won't last long though. Worth $15 US, maybe £12?
Probably other goodies along the way as well.
Thats cool, 15 seems like a ton. I have the Deluxe PS4 version anyone get free llamas with that version? I am at work for a while and wont be able to check it.

Can’t stump the diablos
That's the version I had when I claimed it this morning.
But I'm loving this one so much I upgraded.
Now just have to offload these extra keys.
Damn! I had two silvers and one gold, only a legendary centurion, but I'll take it.
You can't get legendary heroes from regular llamas? Huh... though I'm assuming the llamas are already set before you hit them so it's not really an RNG roll every time you hit the llama. Hope I get a mythic.
I believe you *can* get a legendary from a non-upgraded llama, it's just very low.
Or maybe, you can't, and the upgraded llama is the game's way of saying legendary coming. Pretty sure the die is cast before you hit them. Someone on reddit was saying that it had to be done on their end, or else people would figure out a way to cheat the system and permanently upgrade.
I'm happy. I've got a good epic assault rifle/shotgun/sniper/pistol, and I had just started working on my epic centurian wildcat, now I'll retire her and work on my legendary centurian wildcat.
If the basic data is to be believed, you have ~5% chance of a llama going gold, so one outta fifteen ain't bad.
At least, that's what I'm telling myself.
My internet is really good, but I'm noticing that I get really bad lag? Sometimes I fall through floors or if enemies stop moving I just teleport even if I stop moving. Sometimes enemies start walking on air, and one time a fat husk floating in the air floated into the inside of our base almost ruining the mission (he literally flew in and went through a wall). What the hell is going on?
Console?
Only broken thing I've seen in this regard is enemies in the air or in the ground but I believe this might be a server to client side issue with the cluster.

I know the best place to find copper ore is in caves, but has anyone found a specific map with higher likelihood of caves spawning? I'm on the verge of evolving my epic raptor to the next level, but wanted to make 3-4 versions of it beforehand in case I encounter a silver drought.

Mostly just around the edges of the map in suburbs, I usually find 2-4 caves usually 1-2 on each edge of map. Honestly I have more luck with copper in suburb caves. I feel like in the full forest maps you'll find a lot more caves with just Rough Ore and some coal not as much copper but that's just been in my experience. Suburb is nice too because can find a decent bit of copper in crates just in town as well.
Crap, I've been littering my spare traps everywhere as well. This is going to suck. I didn't know there was a build limit. That actually sucks. It makes sense with traps but not sure what's the reasoning behind limiting your base building. Does upgrading a wall or floor count as another object?
Are you liking the game?? I'm always hesitant to recommend stuff to people. 😂
I didn't. There was a new Llama purchase option in the Loot tab with a cost of 0. Bought it and I received the 15 llamas.

Just go to the store and it's there.
It's dope that you got founders coins in these llamas as well making the 15 llamas give you essentially another 1.5 founder llamas as well.
I got a legendary outlander, very cool and was on my list, I want the legendary Sarah mostly XD
But I'm confused at why they have playable characters so damn low compared to survivors. Survivors progress you a ton, but a variety of playable characters increases your likely hood of sticking around to play.
It's a bug, and when I realized it was a bug and started selecting the one I wanted to burn, it fixed itself and burned the one I wanted to keep.
I have been kicking around the idea of doing that. I have a couple friends that I would likely give the keys to.

Heroes are hard to find, and they're what everyone wants. It is a F2P game, after all.
And damn, it's addicting.
