Agreed. I can't even play the game anymore lately, because I can't be online for too long (busy week).

I wish there was some form of "bank" option in the game that stored your new money for you automatically while charging heavy (and I mean HEAVY) taxes. This could stop the house from getting way too valuable overnight.
You'd have to gamble: Am I going to get enough money overnight to cover taxes or would it be better to just leave the house there and check from time to time?

Taxes could even scale with the house cost to prevent the super-rich from abusing it (and to prevent losing all your money too).

How about it?

Also, another suggestion: A "Cue Benny Hill" button that appears whenever you are playing security tapes on Fast speed. When pressed, this would start playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQg

Pretty cool! Is there a way to change the names in the name generation files too? The mod would definitely benefit from that.

I won't play it though, but simply because (IMHO) "duty to retreat" laws are the kind of bullshit I don't like even being reminded of. We have these here in Brazil too. You can't kill a burglar, so you have to retreat as well (that or kill the fucker anyway and dump him in a ditch somewhere, praying no one finds out).

Family is still useful because of Panic Buttons. However, most of the top houses have been robbed already, and someone that bruteforces these houses has a LOT of tools on them, so they can give themselves the luxury of killing kids (being that it doesn't give you any real reward).

Cool! If this isn't forbidden (let's wait for Jason's say on this), I'll try it as well.

If this is possible, would maybe a "default loadout" be a possibility? When I start a new life I pretty much just chain-rob with $2000 worth of tools until I have enough for a decent house.
Needless to say, I die a ton of times doing this. Having an "y/n" option for beginning with a predefined loadout of tools would be nice.

My guess as well. Something similar happened to me, the guy comitted suicide right in front of the vault and later on someone robbed me clean.
Suggestion: Change some things around just to mess with them. This shit needs to stop.

I was just going to make this exact same post (registered just now to say that, actually). The current system for house building could be improved in some ways, in my opinion, enough not to make building "too easy" but to speed up the process a little.
For instance:

-Zooming-out function to be able to view the whole map (though I'm not sure Jason would approve of this since it detracts from the "being able to feel like you've locked yourself in" experience)
-Keyboard shortcuts
-Mouse scroll-wheel to cycle between 8 or 10 pre-selected tiles, kind of like Minecraft perhaps? (yeah, I know, this game is mentioned in this forum way too much, but it's just an example)

Any more ideas?

Aside from that, is there any way a Steam user could maybe change his TCD accound login email to his actual email? It would be good to be able to play this on another computer without having to memorize the weird e-mail Steam uses to log me in (and without installing Steam on said computer).

Cheers!
