7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

It’s not the worst idea, but you would spawn underground on top of the bedroll instead of on the bed. That’s why you can’t place a bedroll unless there are two blocks free vertically: so you can spawn exactly there.

In theory, if the boars have respawned then so have all the zombies and other hostile entities. Boars are tough enemies, at least in the early game, so it would stink to kill one and not get the meat as a reward. Maybe they could be zombie boars for that POI in particular (and Trader Hugh’s which also has fenced in boars).

What is so hard about putting down your own bedroll?

Perhaps the OP plays with their spouse or SO, and sharing a bed (even though you don’t sleep) is important for role playing purposes.

For a time, I joined a coop server hosted by a husband and wife couple I’d never met in real life. They had their bedrolls together in the same room of the base. I can’t express how much it would’ve felt like breaking an unspoken taboo to put my bedroll down right next to theirs.

It surprised me. I know, it’s just a game. I know, it’s just a block that affects spawning. So who ca... Read more

Originally posted by CrazyOdd: Not sure its still in the game, but you could use 1 bed and 1 bedroll, for spawn points.

While that idea has potential, I don’t think it’s ever been part of the (vanilla) game.

Smell system was removed because it was too costly with the new AI in a17. May make a return after some optimization.

Hold up though. The OP’s test was breaking down cars to get batteries. That’s not actually looting. That’s harvesting. Do we know if loot stage affects your yield from harvesting blocks?

I can't tell you what specs I had specifically, but, I can tell you the approximate price point in quite possibly the vaguest terms.

When I originally started playing 7DTD, way back in.. A2? A3? I had a PC that was mid-range in 1998.

I had that potato for AGES. Like, till 2011, 2012. Then I had a fairly top of the line for 2012~potato that I used until recently.

And now I have low-mid range pc made in 2021 month 11, I'd call it mid range- Roughly $1500 self built, but the GPU is a mid-range at best CPU from a few years ago, it was still working and screw GPU scalpers. GPU is a GTX 1050 TI 4gb. Not sure what CPU I have atm since speccy just shows AMD K19.

Fun fact, my ram was upgraded from DDR3... 799hz. Alllll the way to DDR4 3200hz. And my god, in combination with the new M2 drive....my PC restarts when from 30+ minutes to about 3.5 seconds tops- And 3 of those seconds are sitting at the bios screen. SOOOOO much better I dunno how I lived wi... Read more

Originally posted by MiSFiT77: …This is the thing. The game doesn't understand or predict my play style (or yours). So while I'm tearing places apart looking for that one item that I need for the way I play. The game doesn't think "oh this guys looking for xyz because clearly he is playing in a certain way" because the game doesn't think, it just gives me random stuff. Where as having the ability to tell the trader what exactly you are looking for could help to push the game along in the direction that you want to go in.

Originally posted by Dark: The old hardened chest were imposing and had real wow factor, the new tiny harden chests, not so much.

Curious about this one. The secure storage chest hasn't changed since Alpha 9 at least.

The corpse entities had a large impact on performance, especially on servers where you could get a lot of them stacking up. They were removed for optimization, and gore was re-balanced.

Well, maybe… if you had to wait several days for the trader’s unseen band of scavengers to scrounge one up for you, and you paid a premium for their time.

I already feel like traders should have a small fraction of what they have now. They can have the full range from early game to late game items, but very spotty selection at any given time. This is the apocalypse, not a Walmart!

There's four main issues.

One, Difficulty for the sake of difficulty isn't what most people want. Higher difficulty and risk is great- When there's a commensurate reward. Higher difficulty in 7DTD doesn't reward you; Only punishes.

Two, Most people don't like bullet sponge enemies. High difficulty in 7DTD = bullet sponges- Takes 20 hits with a club at level one to kill a zombie? Too much for most to stomach. Does it get better later in the game? Sure. After you've spent 5 minutes a piece killing 500+ zombies.

Three, The vast majority of 7DTD players prefer PVE and absolutely LOATHE the idea of PVP and having people killing them at random, Or, More worriesomely, Breaking into their base and ruining all their hard work.


And most significantly: Time taken. With 25% loot and a low experience multiplier, it takes AGES to get anywhere, And most 7DTD players are relatively casual; They have an hour or two they can put in once or twice a week- Sp... Read more

When you're using the bow it automatically nocks a new arrow after every time you fire it. There's no clicking necessary.

This. When you fire an arrow, if you don't immediately change to another weapon, it will automatically reload/nock a new arrow after which one click will draw the bow back.

As GrandTickler says, You're likely attempting to draw the bow too soon- Wait for it to finish the auto-reload before trying to draw the bow.

We have a Modding sub-forum, if you want to investigate that route.

Please avail yourself of our Servers sub-forum for some ideas on where to play. And here's the official discord.

There are certain things you can smack with a stone axe and still get mechanical parts; Though which things I can't think of off the top of my head. Sometimes you've just got crap luck though.

Make sure you're searching every cupboard you can in residential places- If you can get a wrench you can get tons of mechanical parts.
