7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

I've heard that the founders of The Fun Pimps got their start in real estate before they got into game development. Other devs are actually making the POIs, but it seems apparent they know a thing or two about architecture. I'm trying not to be greedy and learn every POI, so that I still have some surprises when the game goes gold.

When the quests are generated at the traders, is there a check for specific lots for Bedrolls/Land Claims, or does the presence of those items just keep you from activating an accepted quest's ? when you get to it? I'm hoping for the former, lol... not major, but a bit of a time saver not having to travel to a quest just to find out yo...

The higher quality one can take a lot longer/eat up a lot more RAM etc just like the very early A20 versions. Although 20.6 should default to a lower quality one that isn't very intensive I think.

So dunno.

Its on highest so probably that mixed with the larger towns/cities mod. Kinda crazy still though, you would imagine 16 cores/32 threads it would be alot fa...

If there is a land claim block or a bedroll in the POI, you cannot start a quest there.

A warning when you have a quest and build there before the reset sounds like it’d be helpful. I wouldn’t want to prohibit building until the quest is over, though. Maybe you want to make a crude staircase to get over a fence. Maybe you want to plug a hole so zombies don’t come in from outside. There are lots of reasons a player may want to build something during their dungeon crawl.

Originally posted by DemonScout: Was going to report, but they're process basically is a long, cumbersome process when you are not a programmer.

Cumbersome but necessary. People make reports like, “I tried to start a game but there was some red text on the screen please fix,” which is like calling your mechanic to say, “my car makes a funny noise,” and expecting that’s enough to go on.

Does the Quality 3 pickaxe have mods on it, and the Quality 4 pickaxe not have mods on it?
Every equipped mod increases main stats for the weapon by 15~%; In the case of pickaxe, that'd be block damage.

Originally posted by BGratz: 4x4, chopper,... is midgame

Endgame is when tons of Demolisher zombies show up and you loot nearly only T3 Q6 Items. At that time you should feel like superman.

You mean the right, but by saying endgame you mean hardly the half of midgame, a point where most people stop playing or start a new game (only 9% of player have the gamestage 200 archivement)

What a silly objection. The 4x4 and chopper are also in the late game or endgame if you play that far. They’re still relevant when you’re getting Demolishers and high quality loot.

@OP We know some form of overarching story is planned, and I think it’s safe to assume it will tie into some more unique quests. ...

Vanilla, personally. I try mods from time to time, and I dont mind a few cosmetic or minor mods in my playthrough.

But the overhauls to me are just... Excessive, I guess. Trying to make the game into so many things it really isn't. People complain about Vanilla being grindy, then run on over to the overhauls where the grind is magnified and go "Yeah this is perfect!" and it confuses me a little

But to each their own- As long as everyone's having a good time with the game, modded or not, more power to them.

No hate on the idea, but in terms of lore… a bicycle seems way easier to maintain, than trying to keep a thousand pound animal alive in the zombie apocalypse. In terms of gameplay, cars are hard to get by design. And there are already alternatives to fill the gap before you can get a car (again, bikes). So sure, some people like horses, but just as some people want to see particular guns or melee weapons they like, I don’t see as there’s an operational role for them. That slot is filled.

Keep in mind that by the time A21 is released, you’ll have the opportunity via the betas tab to set your game to e.g. stay on A20 if you prefer. Abandoning your ongoing saved game to play the new build is a choice.

Originally posted by RasaNova: It does seem that there is some sort accuracy hit/miss mechanic happening, a lot more with primitive bow than others. But it could just be glitchy. Either way bows were buffed in A20 and imo are better now than they've been in years.

There is. Same ray accuracy type used with bullets, and they have a drop based on weight and velocity.

Once you learn to adjust for it, the bow/crossbow is nearly as accurate as a rifle. Combined with sneaking boosts, you can 1-shot all but a few entities.

Dang. Where was that in the loading screen hints?? Had no idea, that's a game changer. I'll checl it out myself in a while but does it have a lot of options for textures?

Every texture you've seen on a block shape in the game world is available iirc.

Originally posted by BGratz: To place a potatoe on a grill or in a fire should be possible, even for a terrible cook. Sorry but thats immersion breaking nonsense.

one possible sollution, rename the Recipe to "Backed Potatoe deluxe" and add a free recipe "Burned Potatoe" with 20% less food points

Yeah, Except for a terrible cook you get something burnt and inedible...or not cooked that is basically still just a potato.

Further, The knowledge to "throw it on a grill and cook it" is knowledge from someone who knows how to/that they can make a baked potato in the first place

To a non cook, it sounds more like this: "You can cook a potato? What? I've been eating them this way(raw) my whole life!" ...
