Stealth Archer for instance is a viable alternative to play the game. Its super easy and cheesy. So is gunz blazing. So is hiding in a cheese base. So is making a proper base.

The main problem people have with cheese, as I pointed out as well, is that people continue to meta the crap out of the game to the point where:

"I'm playing on the experimental and after an update my save was corrupted!"

First up, Welcome to the experimental. It is unstable. Progress will be lost. It's not exactly intentional... But it's bound to happen.

Additional info on the subject:

You will be expected to wipe and start over every few days.

There will be bugs.

The primary purpose of opting into unstable_experimental is to report bugs found on the forum.

If you are expecting a stable long-term game, then you should wait until Stable releases.

If you are wanting to play with Mods, lock yourself into a20.7 now in the Betas tab, and don't come out until a few weeks or so after Stable releases. At that point check your mods to see if they have updated.


With that said, If your CHA... Read more

Not the point but thanks.

Technically, Nope. If you want a stable experience, Wait for stable. If you want to play with all the shiny things hot off the press, there will still be sharp edges and burnt fingertips. :winter2019happyyul:

That said, here's a super secret technique: Make a copy of the 7DTD folder; The copy won't update, but you can still launch it.

Fair warning though, Skipping experimental updates pretty definitely means you're going to HAVE to start over when stable hits, because you may/will be missing any incremental save adjustments the devs implement to safeguard saves from corruption.

Uhm... what? It takes a minute and 25 seconds to craft bacon and eggs. Even just getting TO your kitchen, getting an egg out, and getting it into a hot pan is going to take longer than that. Let alone that it takes 4~ minutes to cook an egg right, and 5~ minutes on each side for a total of ten for bacon. Ish. And those times are not counting any prep or preheating time.

Sounds like you crafted like 20 of them at once, saw the 30~ minute timer then commented about it. :winter2019neutralyul:

Perk up in Master Chef, and it will shorten cooking times.

That is...pretty definitely some abysmal proof...And doesn't really prove anythin...

Been here since A4 and we started to complain in A6, 7, 8, 9 and continued to complain about the needless changes over and over instead of adding new and better content. What we learned is the devs have been playing around with the game similar to a self taught artist who draws for the first time, changes it and changes it, till it looks good enough. So the artist eye for this game is Madmole just so you know. He is the one who is "playing" this game from a different viewpoint. Consider him GOD of 7d2d.
So if you want any chance of any changes, best you write to him directly on the official forums. But it's doubtful to be of much worth.

I do think the game is b...

I don't recall there being a 3x3x1 frame shape? But presuming there was, Are you sure you aren't just being tripped up by this change:
"Opening the shapes selection window the first time starts with the basic shapes filter selected"
that puts the basic shape filter on by default because the list of shapes is monumental?

It is around 50% random. We found that the great majority of the time we all just took the 9 magazines making the other choices pointless. I did a quest for testing today, did not get the magazines as a choice and was like, wow I have to think about what I want.

That was addressed at their play style, which actually needs more of all loot. As an example, if I had 3 people hanging out at base and not wanting to loot, so I was the sole looter supporting them, then I would certainly turn up loot abundance to feed them all the items they want. Granted I now have a transport issue, but I would not be going so far as nearby loot containers would have x2. If it was me, I'd tell them to do their own looting and not have to change abundance.


Hardly temporary as you would be playing the whole game like that.

Sometimes data changes break things. It can be worked around. My daughter's game is on day 42. She used the giveselfxp console command to get her level back up and used the creative menu to get magazines back to approximately where she was.

Historically, the place people generally seek aid from has been... Churches. Priests used to be acknowledged as healers in days long past, so it's not as 'ridiculous' as you think at first glance. It's just our modern sensibilities that make it seem odd.

Now, as for why a church and not for example a clinic or a hospital... I'm sorry but have you looked around? It's a zombie apocalypse. Clinics and hospitals are ground zero for the spread and also the first place to go for anyone seeking to loot any kind of medical supplies. It'd be like basing up with a giant neon sign on your building saying "Please come rob me, I probably died to airborne infection from all the corpses anyway".

As for boobs...well...Boobs. There was a stripper zombie in the past, a party girl zombie now, a strip joint poi, and a number of baudy or punny jokes in just about every POI name and many item names.

I'd turn up Loot Abundance.

Yes, zombie and animal reach is too long, but player reach is also too long. Changing all of these would require a complete rebalance and would feel very different to everyone, so it has been like that for many years as many of us think it is fine. In b317 I reduced the overall zombie reach by 3% to see if that feels different without ruining balance and made a short zombie hand item so they can have a separate Range value and that has about 20% less reach. Network latency also makes this worse.

I don't think we changed it and seems the same to me. I prefer agility and use the bow quite a bit.
