7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Originally posted by Eppiox: (Wonder if they'll focus more on less breaking changes due to 1.0)

I think they'll pretty much have to, if for no other reason than A) they want parity between console and PC, and B) Sony and Microsoft won't allow updates that break saved games.

Originally posted by Zerotheliger: Imagine if they did this bait and switch to pc players? people who were promised an update would be comming eventually to their console versions of the game are now going to be expected to purchase the game yet again?

This is an issue caused by the publisher of the original console version, Telltale. In a last ditch grab for cash before Telltale went bankrupt, one of the things they did was announce that the console version was 1.0 finalized and complete.

The Fun Pimps fought for years to reclaim the rights to the console version, but, unfortunately, because of what Telltale did, they actually can't update the existing console version. The Microsoft and PSN store rules require that any 1.0 released game cannot have updates that would break save compatibility with existing saves. Unfortunately, every single update since like A14 has completely broken saves necessitating... Read more

I like the knuckle pathway quite a bit. There is something very satisfying about punching the zombies. But I don't know how fun it would be without any weapons to progress with. Just a bare fist for the entire playthrough? I dunno...

I'd try it out if it was a mod. Maybe I'll name my shotgun "Chi"

Originally posted by Odyne69: So, just to correct someone on Discord, is this Beta?

No. Despite the tag of Alpha, TFP have not been following a traditional Alpha/Beta model of development. The last two major updates have been almost exclusively polishing and optimizing which are Beta activities.

Long story short, they are going right to 1.0 status and there won't be any Beta1, Beta2, etc.

Sounds like you set up in a POI where structural integrity was already questionable. Removing your sleeping bag caused it to re-calculate the glue, and it ended up lacking.

This is correct. Also, moving to the correct forum section. Please take a look around before posting.

It's kindof like the way movie ratings work; There's a certain amount of content that can fly under the rating, but once it reaches a given critical mass, the rating goes up. You can have one or two swear words and some mild violence and still be PG-13, add something vaguely sexual and now it's rated R. Take away the mild violence and half the swear words and it can be PG-13 again (assuming the vaguely sexual thing is vague enough, anyway)

In games, It's similar- If you blow all your 'ratings budget' on a bunch of other things, you can't ... Read more

TFP has been very adamant that they will not ever add child zombies.

Your only hope for seeing this in the game is through a mod.

The game is designed for 8-player co-op. There are no official servers.

The Philippines is basically the global black hole for internet traffic. I'm sure someone there is hosting a server you can play on though. Sort your server list by ping. Utilize sites like Bettlemetrics.com to look up servers near you. Or find a hosting company that has servers there, and start your own.

The only people who have pre Steam versions (A1 - A3 I think) are the original kickstarter backers and only if they never uninstalled it because they are no longer available. Kickstarter backers played the first alphas by downloading the builds directly from The Fun Pimps. Once the game released on Steam early access those primordial builds could no longer be downloaded directly and since they were pre-Steam they do not show up on the beta list on Steam.


Also please note that a lot of the earlier versions on the beta list do not support the game launcher feature so you can only load them from the exe file.

Should test it by trying to shoot at 3 seconds before the animation finishes. It may be that the animation sequence is not lined up with the reload.

Originally posted by Shurenai: Yeah, Aside from the appearance and being able to craft the ammo earlier, the blunderbuss and pipe shotgun are identical- the stats literally got copypasted from blunder to pipe shottie iirc.

And that shortfall in no longer being able to craft ammo is at least partially made up for by the general dearth of ammo to be found when looting now

I swear the pipe shotty feels slower to reload than the blunderbuss though. Is the r...

Thinking about it, was it the fact that ammo was dirt cheap and available to make without the workbench.
Also man the reload was alright, way better than the Shotty. ESPECIALLY if you know about the Richardson Shotguns.

I don't remember HATING having the blunderbuss as our beginning powder-firearm. IT was a joy to have a high-level blunderbusses cause that multi-hotbar strat worked, and worked well.

IMHO the only real difference between the blunderbuss and the current pipe shotty is the aesthetics and ammunition.

Personally the aesthetics don't really fit the game. The pipe shotty fits in a lot better, and is nearly as easy to make. The ammo is the only real shortfall here. Early game I'll load up a few pi... Read more

Please go to the Support & Bug Reports sub-forum and share more details about the crash, using the pinned thread as a guide. There are people that can help but only if they have enough information.

Sorry, I think "Most of your constructive criticism is about the early game" is wrong, it's about the "survival sandbox", which the whole idea the of the game revolves about.

The game is still a survival sandbox for most of your playthrough. Yes, you must either loot to get water or build dew collectors. Yes, to build dew collectors you must buy a filter from the trader. But all of that can be completed within the first game week. Once you have enough dew collectors built you are no longer dependent on looting for water and there's nothing else you need from the trader.

You are characterizing an entire playthrough as having lost the survival sandbox element simply ... Read more

Pointing out the lack of motivation to live in rural areas does affect the survival open world aspect of the game, even more if the biome around you is exactly the same all around. If you played older alphas, which I immediately assume you have, you do remember mountain formations, uneven terrain, bridges, rivers, lakes, islands. I think these should come back.

I lost you at walking simulator? I hope you are spawning with a bicycle, no way i'm walking 3km to the trader.. it becomes a chore eventually. So you'll build next to a trader, right? Then what's the point for the rest of the map? It's not like loot is exclusive to an area.

Is this constructive enough for you? ...

Zombie bears are still in and have been updated. They might not show them ahead of time. They are definitely not removed.

It would be nice if all traders had an entrance on all four sides regardless of the size of the entrance. Who wants to have to run around the perimeter at all to get inside? The compounds that have more than two doors are the best.
