7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

21.1 will have a variety of fixes. We put our changes in trunk which is the next version of the game (A22) and then branch some changes to the A21 project for building and testing.

Yesterday, I finished a loot console command that lets us loot a container x amount of times and logs results sorted by count/name/quality.

Command: loot container [name]

Hello survivors!

We are currently investigating several server issues that necessitate extensive logging of incoming and outgoing server traffic.

It will only be running for a week or two, so do not expect to play a long term game.

Highlight the url, right-click, and select open in a new tab/window. It should launch the client and direct connect you to the server.

Yep. I fixed that one last week and should be in .1.

I also fixed that corpse heads were getting the head damage bonus when you were harvesting them.

You get quite a bit of XP upgrading concrete to steel and placement mistakes are 1/2 as hard to fix.

Block: Iron Garage Door 3x2 (Powered) // ironGarageDoor_PoweredBlockVariantHelper

Summary: When using the radial menu to pick up one of the placed doors you do not get the VariantHelper block back.

Instead you get the individual door variant back which can not be shape (colour) selected again.

Player-crafted dew collectors return 1 dew collector when destroyed.

Right, the muffler thing. I had kinda forgotten about that one.

Definitely a LOT more streamer-friendly than vanilla.

Added the super corn recipe mod.

Some of it is RNG but mostly on the item drops. Crafting goes up pretty much as planned because with so many rolls it evens out.

For me, I do go out looting whenever I can but ended up crafting a lot of my gear. In A20 I might have crafted 1 or 2 pieces tops.

Crafting is definitely a lot more viable now, especially since you can craft items with 4 mod slots.

Eventually looting will get you the final version of your stuff but... given the 4 mod slots a lot of QL5 gear can now be better than QL6 so even that is not a huge difference any more.

And "eventually" is something in the vicinity of lvl 75-90 so that's gonna be a while.

I run my own server and I changed anything that I perceived too broken, buggy, messy or bothersome in any way, shape or form.

These are all XML modlets and have a high chance of being compatible with other mods that don't try to change the exact same lines.

Less violent bird nest destruction.

Looting one no longer sounds like you're taking down a door with a sledgehammer.

We're looking into it.
Are there any VODs with timestamps that would help us find it faster?

Handguns vs bows is firepower vs stealth.

Bow vs crossbow is obviously a sidegrade where you choose high mobility vs maximum sneak attack damage. If you really like bows and run&gun often, a bow can actually work well while a crossbow gets your ass bitten.

If you're not the sneaky type then yes, a rifle will beat a crossbow in most cases. But then you should go Perception.

It's rather the magnum/vulture that have no real niche in the game and were added purely for coolness, bloating the attribute even more. =P

Balance is not done and will continue to change right up to gold.

It is not sound. My own personal theory, since this is not real, is your scent from touching the parts combined with vibrations, makes them interested. I could say the same for the cement mixer. Your feet tapping the ground as you walk around could really do it too. Next up...sand worms.

So DVulture/SMG are T3 ranged, yet they are treated even worse than other T2 ranged.

If they dropped on a T2 loot table it could be reasonable but no, they are actually harder to find than other weapons since Vulture/SMG share the slot when an agility firearm is rolled to drop.

Compound bows do use the T2 quality and loot template so they drop much earlier and at higher quality.

Your preferred weapon already dropped half as likely and now you get shafted on mod slots compared to other T3 ranged.

Who hates the agility attribute so much?

Summary:

T3 ranged weapons have 3 entirely different setups for mod slots per quality level, even inconsistent inside the same weapon class.

Tier 3 ranged weapons use 3 different setups for mod slots. That can not be intentional.
