7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Smells of untruth? You can find lots of examples of clothing combinations that unfortunately clip into each other. Those visual bugs have been piling up, because they’ll become moot in the event the whole clothing and armor system is overhauled. It also explains why the player character art has (arguably) lagged behind in quality compared to other art that’s been brought up to higher standards: no point in polishing something that would still get redone anyway.

As of now, the dev diary on the official forum lists “new iron armor” and “new commando military armor” as confirmed A21 features, while “armor” writ large is listed under the “roadmap to gold and beyond.”

I don’t know. It’s probably a quick and dirty calculation since it would need to check this constantly. But I would push back against Jost Amman’s insinuation that knowing is gaming the game. Since, as the OP points out, our intuitive sense of what is “indoors” probably doesn’t exactly apply, it’s reasonable to deduce the actual algorithm.

If it’s a ray cast up to the sky like the game uses for rain and plants, then you can be “indoors” with an unfinished or destroyed roof and not get the benefit. Or it the game uses a more sophisticated flood fill algorithm (unlikely), then the perk could not work if a door is left open or a window is broken. If “indoors” just means within the bounds of a POI, then it would be pretty broken when you consider all the space outside the building part of a POI. Or if it’s the same algorithm that determines whether to darken the screen (a feature which I hate, but I digress), then you might not get the benefit in a very large room, even if i... Read more

That sounds like a separate issue. Please start a new thread if you need assistance instead of resurrecting this very old, not entirely related one.

The terms of EARLY ACCESS LITERALLY include "THIS PRODUCT MAY NEVER BE FINISHED".

Granted it's not in all caps. But, Still, A core premise of your complaint here is that Early Access IS supposed to be, or guaranteed to be, a temporary time period. Which is wrong.

Plenty of other wrong information in the post too- There's 30~+ employees at TFP now.

And, Steam literally sells the game as-is. Devs literally aren't even allowed by the early access rules to try and sell users on future promises- Users themselves are told to buy the game ONLY if they are happy with the game, as it is, At the time of purchase.

Anything lootable that vanishes after looting, the way ammo or medical piles do, do not respawn. Anything lootable that remains after being looted can respawn loot; Doesn't matter what size or shape they are.

If you can still interact with it to open a loot window, It'll respawn loot if you stay away from it for the duration of the loot respawn timer.

Originally posted by Ben1: Is it that abnormal that instead of reading the wall of text from the OP, I want to know why they got banned on the forums? Has to be a reason for that.

Nope, not weird. In the grand scheme of things, in the majority of cases there's a reason, and the person in question try to spin it just about any way that makes them look like the one who has been wronged.

In comparatively rare instances (Like 0.1% of cases or less), there's power abuse by a mod- Or more innocuous reasons that some might think "Well that's not really ban worthy..." But those are exceptions, Not the rule. And even in the latter case of "not really ban worthy", A repeat offender who has been warned 40 times to stop doing a seem... Read more

Most likely, It's determined the same way the game determines if it should darken your screen lightwise- Which is to say conditions like "Is there a roof? Are you more than a block inside anything detectable as an entry point? Are all the walls closed up?"

Alternatively it might work the way crops determine if they can/should grow- Is there a path to sunlight within X blocks; If yes, outside, if no, inside. If it used something like this, unlike plants, it would probably consider transparent blocks as enclosed space.

Several things.

To answer the last question first, Yes, Any and all modification is saved- Even if you only half damage a terrain voxel to change it's shape, it's saved.

From a tech perspective, the world and save files are separate; You can reuse a world file because of this. The save file is where all changes are stored.


The whole game world exists to begin with. It's all pre-generated and just loaded as you play- From bedrock to the top most "air block", it's all actually accounted for space.

The world isn't blocks- It's voxels. The building blocks are forced-shape voxels, the terrain is malleable voxels. The malleable voxels are actually diamond shaped, but they stretch themselves to meet their fellow malleable voxels to from a contiguous surface.

For the malleable voxels, When they're aligned in a flat grid, there is no sides to them, only the external face. This is because malleable voxels stretch themselves to meet the edg... Read more

They don't purposefully avoid spikes.

Zombies don't acknowledge traps as anything but blocks to path on, or through. To them it's all either a wall, or open space.

What they DO do, however, Is avoid walls when there's a perfectly viable alternative. And they also prefer taking the least block-HP path to the player.


So, When you make a 1 tall row of spikes, Zombies consider it to be a low fence, and will probably jump on it. When you make it 2 tall, however, You've built a solid wall- At least in their eyes.

When you've made a row of spikes 2 blocks tall, The first couple zombies will stumble into spikes, and then once a sufficient opening has been made, The rest will path to that opening because it is now the lowest-block-HP path to the player-To them, any other path that would take them into the 'wall' takes longer, and thereby, is not worth going to.


So basically, Don't just build a solid wall of spikes. You need to place ... Read more

I see. I figured you were referring to e.g. bleeding out and having to scrap some clothing to quickly make a bandage.

I hope if there is a confirmation to scrap, it would be done in a way that doesn't interfere with backing out of the inventory.

Originally posted by BGratz: Consistent, yes
Confirming, please not without the ability to disable it. I dont need a confirm when i open my inventory for 3 Seconds to make a bit free space that make out of these 3 seconds 5.
I prefer consequences like a lost item over a ingame death because the scrapping took too long

I can think of no situation where scrapping a high value item too slowly is a matter of life and death.

Press delete to get rid of the blue selection volume.

Sounds like an oddity, In my experience wolves at least will happily maul zombies.

However if either are aware of the player, they'll usually ignore eachother to get the player.

Most likely your gyro is wherever you took off onto the flight from. Vehicle locations are mostly only saved once you park em. So retrace your steps and you might find it.

Else, Press F1, Type 'CM' into the window that appears, F1 again to close the window and press U to open the creative menu. Search Gyro and pull out a new gyro + some fuel, then repeat the initial few steps to exit creative mode again.

Psh, Obviously it'll PSX exclusive.

When the next alpha comes, you should have plenty of opportunity to switch the betas tab to stay on A20 and keep playing your A20 game as long as you want.
