7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

OK, had an exploding cop now on grassland. No destroyed grassland block. In wasteland it causes a hole. So there definitely is a difference.

I don't know what to tell you. It's in the files.

I can say with certainty that destroyed stone has 200 HP. And it's the topsoil block used in the wasteland biome:

topsoil_block="terrDestroyedStone" biomemapcolor="#ffa800" lootstage_modifier = "1.5" lootstage_bonus="30">
Try it. Punch the ground in the wasteland with your fist. If it's not destroyed, then it has more than 1 HP.

I have noticed that killing NPC's like traders and the currently un-implemented bandits and survivors count towards your player kill score.

That die 500 times though... I have over 6000 hours in this game and was only halfway to it before resetting my achievements to test the issues with a20. I am not a careful player.

Originally posted by Crater Creator: I just tested it, and destroyed stone has 200 HP, compared to topsoil that has 200 HP or forest ground that has 250 HP. So yes, it's worth taking into account that the terrain on which your pillars rest is relatively weak and could be destroyed. But I wouldn't say the terrain of the wasteland is especially bad for this.

according to the wiki, destroyed stone has 1 hitpoint. It might be that I had no exploding cop i...

Why. Does everyone assume. That we DELETE things, Instead of moving them?

Your previous topic is right here:

It was moved to the Support/Bug Report Forum. You know, Where bugs should be reported. Not deleted. We're not trying to hide it.

The prompt you recieved when we moved it says "Moved OR Deleted". You can find your past posts via the "Post history" button on the right hand side-->

Please check your history before assuming something was deleted. (And to be clear, We moderators have no control over the phrasing of that prompt; It's a steam thing. It says moved or ... Read more

Originally posted by Ragequit Inc.: I'd guess that the chunk the trees are in needs to be loaded for them to grow. So if they're far from your base (and you don't go there often), they haven't been loaded, hence not grown. I'm not 100% on this though, just a guess.

I don't think so. I've gone out on multi-day trips, and come back to my base to find my grove of planted trees has grown. I'm pretty sure that when you come back, it loads in the chunk, and the chunk calculates how much growth should've happened in the intervening time. In theory, the player can't tell that they weren't actively growing the whole time.

Unfortunately, I don't have a different explanation for why the OP's trees didn't grow for 5 days, u... Read more

That could indeed happen, yep. Better (CAREFULLY) build in supporting pillars beneath your base. :)

Zombies can break anything. Chests included. Don't put chests anywhere a zombie can reach them; Or if you do, don't store anything important there.

To be clear, they will not Prioritize chests over attempting to reach the player. But they will absolutely break a chest if it impedes their progress.

There isn't anything in the game zombies cant break except the trader zones.

"Heat" is generated by performing actions, such as using forges, crafting items on the workbench, killing zombies, etc.

I did know that's how they work with heat and I've been running my forge/fires quite often but I think they probably nerfed them a bit. A19 it seemed they would spawn quite often a...

Just be aware that a lot of those issues were fixed before a20 went stable too, so take it with a grain of salt.

I can use an i7-3930k from 11 years ago with a GTX1060 6GB and not dip below the 40's. As long as the system is properly optimized and there isn't any conflicting software.

Maybe it's time for you to figure out what is bottlenecking your system.

There are several KI's on issues with them duplicating, teleporting below bedrock, and other similar things. Like if you teleport with a drone out, it's almost guaranteed to have an issue. But since teleporting is not a regular game feature, that one might not get as much focus as some others.

Buy the best word on any issues in the KI list being fixed, is maybe in the next patch.
Even if they announced that they fixed it internally, that doesn't mean it will remain fixed after the next internal update, or even after it goes live.

A perfect example is the current issues with vehicles disappearing, getting stuck, going underground, ect. The devs put a lot of focus into fixing these issues. The internal testers exhaustively went through all kinds of situations to replicate the issues, and they were patch up. We then spent hundreds of hours making sure that the fixes were fixed, and stayed that way.
Then the patch gets into the hands of a few millio... Read more
