Edit, there are also a couple of rooms that you drop into, you can see the entire room is empty, from the hole in the roof, but when you drop in, they beam down from their starship.

Edit, certain events aren't too bad, so if you open door with a switch, you get a large spawn, that appear out of view, and chase you down, which other than making stealth builds completely pointless, works as a mechanic.

Well, we’re getting crawl-out zombies in the next major release.

How do you acquire a pigeon? Does it need anything to live, like food & water? Will zombies chase it? Is it vulnerable to attack? How does it navigate the game world? What if the recipient is sealed up somewhere? Is your pigeon identifiable from others? Can a third party intercept it and see the message? Could you follow the pigeon to discover a rival player’s base in PvP? Would text chat be disabled so you have to use pigeons, and if not, why would you?

Lots of things are doable, but the first phase would be to iron out the design.

Regarding turret types, my working hypothesis is they selected shotguns and SMGs because they’re the shortest-range weapon types that made sense to be turrets. Again, this is just a hypothesis but a rifle or other turret using high powered rounds might be expected to pick off zombies at such a distance that you’d hardly see or interact with zombies at all. And they don’t want to waste your CPU cycles simulating a bunch of unseen zombies you have nothing to do with.

AP/HP ammo in loot, sure why not? Traders sell them, so it’s not like they’re exclusively crafted. I’m surprised if they’re not already included.

There’s a plow you should be able to add to the 4x4, intended to help when driving over debris. I do prefer the motorcycle because it can cut through narrow gaps, like when there’s only one meter between a fence and a wall.

The main perk of legendary items is you get the maximum number of mod slots. The devs might want to do more though - see discus... Read more

Yeah cant imagine the horror of a public 7DTD server.

They can be fine, but it takes a lot of tools and work to make it so.

No worries. FYI some of the wiki info isn't 100% up to date but it's mostly still accurate.

Sounds like you've been using Vortex to install mods for 7 Days.

To fix it you will basically need to permamently delete the game client folder, probably the 7DaysToDie folder in your %appdata%, and definitely stop using Vortex for 7 Days. The hardlinks it creates can break client functionality, which causes the issue you are experiencing.

That's not toggle. That stops you from sprinting when letting go of a movement key. We're looking for an option to disable TOGGLE sprint entirely.

That option disables the "Sprint Lock" feature. Which is the toggle that locks you into sprint. Which sounds exactly like what the subject of your thread is a... Read more

Originally posted by BodyBagger: Well that's good news!

From what you wrote, it sounds like Ubuntu might be the best choice since you can confirm that it actually works. Do you think this is the way I should go?

I don't know if you can answer this or not, but do you know if I can run Cities Skylines 1 & Stranded Deep, as well?

Thanks for your help!

ps Any suggestions for setting up Linux?

yes. It is native to Linux.

My personal preferences are Ubuntu or Debian. I advise to stay away from some offshoots like Arch because they have compatibility problems. Mint I haven't used in a while because development was falling a bit behind and they had dependency issues, but it might be alright now. I haven't tested that one in a while.

Also, a side note, Wayland does not play very well with the client either. It doesn't play very well with much to be honest, but I see it more and more as an option for the desktop interface. It's supposed to be more secure, ect. However it doesn't work out very well for a lot of games, and is still not considered to be stable.

Something else to note is that in general you will have a 10-15% improvement in performance over like hardware running Windows 10/11. Though there are currently some growing pains with OpenGL and Vulkan.

Back around Alpha 13/14 days the devs had actually considered where POI's would be updated over time. Either by slowly degrading as they are not visited by survivors, or randomly being repaired and upgraded by survivors.

In the end the idea was scrapped because it required way too much overhead from the client.

For 2-3 players that is probably "OK" if you keep the CPU cool. It is below min spec, but should boost the CPU to something more in-spec when it demands it.

If yall move too fast on vehicles in separate directions, you're probably going to experience some lag in area loading.

They’re bandits. They are by definition robbers. I don’t think they’d be called bandits if they weren’t going to come after your stuff. But then again, it sounds like there won’t be any storms brewing in Storm’s Brewing, so part of me doesn’t know what to think anymore. I do know that bandits aren’t on the roadmap for 2.0, so we have a long ways still before they come to pass.

I agree it would make things interesting, and immersive. You know how Rick Grimes just leaves piles of food and weapons in the middle of the street, to come back to whenever? That’s right, he doesn’t. It’s easy enough to imagine the implementation of an economic heat map, where the game detects a buildup of valuables in the containers in an area and spawns a bandit scout to check out that buildup. I would also use a similar system to make herbivorous animals come after your crops. It’d add another layer of gameplay, even if bandit AI is little more than ‘zombies with guns.’
