7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

After much anticipation, I’m happy to kick off the Version 1.0 Developer Diary (formerly known as Alpha 22). Here you'll find a compilation of confirmed features and content for Version 1.0. Fun Pimp devs may occasionally post updates here on what they're working on, answer questions, and give us sneak peeks into the future of 7 Days to Die.

 

Like in previous diaries, we want this thread to stay focused on discussing the following features and content, and other things TFP devs want to discuss. We’ll make an effort to only list confirmed features and content, not rumored or merely contemplated features that haven’t seen proof of development/implementation. Please limit discussion in this thread to these topics, so that the diary doesn’t become bloated. Chatter not pertaining to Version 1.0 may be moved or removed.

Hello Survivors!

Just in time for the extended Thanksgiving Weekend, TFP is proud to present A21.2 Stable! With the entire 7 Days to Die team working tirelessly to roll out A22 as soon as possible, we've implemented numerous fixes and changes that we know you'll love!

 

This latest release adds a much anticipated feature: Death penalty options! You can now choose from Nothing, Classic, Injured (respawn with most debuffs still active), and Perma-death (your entire profile is wiped, and you start fresh in the same savegame).

 

We've also added the ability to lock inventory slots. Click the arrow buttons to indicate how many slots to lock, starting from the top left-most slot in the Player Inventory. Those locked slots will be unaffected by the Sort Inventory, Fill Stacks, and Move all buttons. This is a great way to ensure you have your required Ammo, Food and Water, or Medical Supplies on you at all times to fully augment your ...

Hello Survivors!

As we approach the stable release of A21.1, we are pleased to present a small hotfix patch for you.

Fixes

• Twitch Cooldown is disabled when shared quest is removed while on an active quest.
• Server Browser error on search
• Server can no longer be started with an invalid port

A21 Press Release Notes

Hey Survivors,

It has been a while since our last major release, December 2021 to be exact. For a year and a half, our growing team has been working hard to bring you Alpha 21. This Alpha delivers more polish, optimizations, updates, quality-of-life improvements, new content, new features, and new gameplay systems than ever before. We say it every Alpha, and we will say it again, this is the biggest and baddest version of the game to date.

If you have never played 7 Days to Die or you have not played it for a while, you're going to want to check out Alpha 21. Pushing hard towards the Gold Version, this impressive mountain of work could only be achieved by the lengthy, iterative, development style we have gone through.

This patch only addresses a benign save game compatibility error users would encounter when returning to A20 after a session in A21 Exp.
