7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Get what steel you can from salvaging relevant steel giving items to use for crafts, and not stress over upgrading your base into an over-built steel monstrosity when you can survive just fine with concrete. Just sayin.

And really, once you figure out some of the places you can wrench steel reliably, There is no shortage. There isn't a real shortage of cement either with all the new construction POIs.

The only real limitations I've been running into in a20 are finding sewing kits and acid early on.

People seem to think many things are 'Needed' when they really aren't. You can absolutely survive till day 100+ without ever making a forge/workbench/chem station or obtaining a crucible/beaker. Is it nice to get those things? Sure- Do those things make it easier? Absolutely....But they are not Needed.

Most of the combative meat giving animals will maul zombies given a chance; So.. Presumably, their claws/teeth/etc are potentially covered in Z-virus.

Originally posted by Jonnson: I hate them as well. I mean, they are so easy to kill, its like swatting a fly. The problem is, there are nonstop flies. Its the most annoying thing since cliff racers in morrowind.

A better solution would be to implement a range of failures when attempting to use vehicles to escape bloodmoon hordes.

The truck stalls out! You have flooded the engine.
A crack in your gas tank has bled the fuel dry.
The tires are flat!
The peddle just broke off.
The chain skipped off the sprocket.
The batteries dead.
You forgot to fill the radiator!
The belt snapped.
Your stuck in mud!
The transmission dropped.

These are all things that happen, especially when someo...

There is a visual notification when you near the edge of the quest area.

Originally posted by Reenee: -There doesn't seem to be a lot going on when it comes to wilderness/non-urban POIs. Forests and mountains don't have cave systems, distant isolated settlements, or some kind of untouched grove where you can find oodles of blueberries.

Cave systems were removed a long time ago. Maybe they will make a comeback, but there were a lot of problems with them that need to be resolved for that to happen.

Endlessly like a 1980's arcade game.. And like many 1990's SNES games, and 2000 PS1 games. And 2010 PS3/X360 games..and 2020 consoles. :D

If I'm perfectly honest, I think Alpha 12 or 13 was my favorite before Alpha 20 dropped.

Originally posted by RasaNova: I did, that's not really the same thing that I was talking about, that post was describing sleeper behavior. I was more getting at sleepers that don't even appear til you're in the room with them, often surrounded with no easy way out. (Unless you game the system as I did for those pics.)

This isn't something that is supposed to happen. Either you have a system bottleneck, or something else is going on. I personally have yet to experience it, but I run a well optimized system too.

Originally posted by Blue Hasia: the last paragraph says they are ok with auto attack rooms?

It's like you guys have this super selective reading ability. What does he say just before that last paragraph where he gives his personal opinion?

Actually, never mind.

Let's net out the key point here.

There was a team meeting where Joel brought up the auto aggro rooms and said that he didn't think it was fair for zombies to just wake up without any chance at all for them to possibly stay asleep. After discussion it was decided that instead of auto aggro the game would do a skill check vs the player's stealth and only if that failed would the zombies wake up. A ticke...

That hasn't been my experience... In A19 they were few and far between, could probably count those "trigger" ambush rooms on one hand while in A20 it seems they are everywhere.

Unless we have different ideas of what the OP is talking about? When I hear "trigger rooms" I think of those rooms where the sleepers in a poi don't spawn til you're right on top of them, more than the ones that simp...
