7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Trapping seems like it wouldn't require much processing power at all. Even husbandry wouldn't require as much as a zombie. It seems like there would be ways to implement them if they had their quantity restricted. My game sometimes drops down to unplayable numbers of frames when there are more than a few zombies active, though. It seems like they could just make the animals static or disappear 'into their housing' when a zombie is near.

Having a wolf that can fetch small dead bodies(rabbit, vulture) would be cool. It could also warn you(growl) when there are enemies around.

I was really excited when TFP said there would be new plants and recipes. I was really disappointed whe...

No, and they're not likely to in any substantive way. Any free roaming entity draws down on the quite limited pool of entity controllers, be it an animal, a zombie or (eventually) a Bandit.

If they implemented "farming a la Minecraft", players would quickly exhaust the pool of entity controllers, preventing the game from running (at an acceptable performance level anyway), primary enemies like Zombies and Bandits.

TFP have talked - rather speculatively though - about re-writing that controller themselves to make it more efficient, but unless and until they do, don't expect to see animal husbandry in the game.

If steam is running, it does now. Back in the early Alpha days it did not.

3465 in-steam, and close to another thousand without Steam.

A tiny packet of maybe a few kb's of information handshake to a bunch of servers barely takes any time or effort on the part of your client, you said yourself its not even a performance issue, so...what exactly is the problem? That you have to see a list of servers before you click join by IP? Add your favorite server to favorites, and the server list will default to the favorites/history screen only showing you your favorite servers and other recently joined ones, which it will actively poll first before moving onto pinging other servers.

I still don't understand why it's even an issue for this one guy.

If you're fast, it will only poll a few. That's a Unity server browser design, not TFP's.

99% of computers out there shouldn't have an issue with it polling the servers to generate the list. Hell, even Windows won't have any issue unless your DNS stack is already close to full, and you leave the list open for several minutes. (Which is a Windows issue, and not a client issue.)

You can. Just put the IP and Port into the bottom and direct connect.

Or he could be playing a Navezgane map.

Sadly he's right. It depends a lot on your system specs. It wil take exponentially longer if you have a weak CPU and low ammount of RAM. A SSD help a lot too. So i would not recommend making a large world if making a 4km x 4km takes more than 5 to 10 minutes.

Oh yeah, SSD and 8gb of ram are perfect for this game. The problem with a hard drive is that they are very slow and even the cheap SSDs have a huge impact in loading times and...

Maybe don't spend all your time ADS? I hardly notice the loss, but then again I only ADS when I am about to shoot, not holding it for any length of time.

Basically the ability to create such a mechanic didn't exist in A16.

If you're looking for immersion/role-play reason: holding your breathe, steadying the shot, etc.

Originally posted by textheavy: Why are so many people threatening to stop playing a game because of some settings in an experimental branch that was released a week ago? Sheesh!

I've noticed that although these zombie vultures seem to be more numerous in the current build, they don't seem to be as aggressive. I haven't had any of them swoop down and try to hit me, as long as I'm moving around. The only one I've killed was flying near the roof I was on, and still wasn't coming towards me.

Especially about one of THE most predictable creatures in the game. It doesn't take a degree in math to figure out their pattern. Just watch one for about a minute. On top of that their attack is so easy to avoid that it takes almost no... Read more

The developers don't endorse 3rd party utilities or apps that work with 7 Days to Die but neither do they hunt them down and close them down. Sphereii's mod launcher is a godsend for those who want to try out mods but feel timid about downloading and installing them themselves. There are server admin bots that help the multiplayer experience with 7 Days to Die. There are web based mapping utilities that keep track of your world as it is uncovered. Heck, there's probably at least one mobile app designed to work with 7 Days. Just as the developers don't endorse but also don't try to shut down these 3rd party utilities, they'll treat this build planning utility the same.

Crater Creator has already stated that since the utility is related to the game, is of interest to people who like to build in this game, and is contained within its own thread and not being reposted in threads all over the forum-- it is appropriate to allow it. It's not spam.

I don't think this ... Read more

FYI, a link to a 7 Days to Die-related app, contained to its own thread, is not spam. There’s also no need to announce when you report someone; it tends to antagonize more than anything, and we don’t need that.

Thanks for sharing, donkong.
