1) Yes, they are "good enough" at the game (whatever that means to you). They are good enough for us to believe they are the right people to help playtest the feature.

2) You don't know all the reasons why people choose to back up save files.

3) Tim Cain is a great game designer! And the analogy doesn't hold water here. We didn't add Cheat Death *because* people are backing up saves. We added it to play with the Permadeath formula in a way we thought would be interesting. The "save scumming" behaviour has been around for years and suggests strongly that there are some players who, given the option, would love to avoid losing their Saves. Lots of those folks will still continue to back up their Saves because "Cheating Death" still won't be as good for them as just reloading a save they backed up. This system doesn't replace Permadeath or try to fix a problem. It just adds a new dimension and what we believe will be an interesting choice for the players who choose to use it.

Thank you! I look forward to seeing this in action, as it looks great.

Up to this point you have done a stellar job balancing the game - keeping it difficult while adding items to the game that make it easier.

I have some thoughts on the cheat death system

• Are play testers good enough at the game?

• People were backing up saves to save themselves from random events like instant death wall they didn't know about or a wolf spawning really close out of view and charging.

• The cheat death system sounds like building a hospital right on the corner where there is a lot of accidents on the road - I'm referring to this video by Tim Cain:

Hi,

My fellow players on consoles can't reverse the sort order in the cooking menu. So there is no way to have the heaviest cuts of meat on top - teas will dominate. They need to go all the way down each time.

This is done on PC by clicking on the sort button again, however this option is missing on xbox. On PC you can have the meat on top of the menu, removing the need to scroll down the list.

User story:

As a player I would like to interact with cooking menu in no more than 3 clicks to cook a 1kg cut of meat.

Hey, are you sure that is all the changes? What QOL?

I love this!

Got a few more

Hi Guys,

I don't see bear AI being buggy on the list of know issues - should we report that?

Hi Guys,

I hope you are doing well.

As part of my TLD streams I have automatic kill counters, which are updated from the game save file.

Since you are updating the save system, would you be able to modify the stats panel in game saves, so it is just a bit more readable?

Currently things like number of deer killed is stored with index -1441106409 in m_StatsDictionary.

Would it be possible to simplify this with the update?

I have been named the best guy to do a cosplay of Old Man's Beard Lichen. So here it is!

also, to comply with the rules:

I have never cosplayed in my life. I love the game, antiseptic is way too heavy to carry, when you got a beard like that!
