7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

This was attempted back in a14. Random clothing and styles with the UMA system. It ended up being a gigantic performance hog, and would tank your client on a good PC with more than 10 zeds alive.

The core of that system is the reason we still don't have many zeds wandering about the lands in the game. Go play a13 and see how many you run into in the wild. It's almost constant.

In any case, the UMA system is being fully dumped in a20, so we should be able to see more zeds in the wild again soon.

Cruising now with i9-10100 w/ rtx3070 on ssd and 32GBwith settings maxxed and it runs like a dream.

RasaNova, does the type of RAM make a difference? How is yours for multiplayer? Is that good for a server as well?

It's about speed mostly.

My current setup is an R9-3900k OC'ed to 4.2G... Read more

I'm assuming KingGen does something similar; Shortcuts, "Close enough"'s and acceptance of imperfection in return for a much faster generation time.


Also don't be so quick to think you won't use vanilla RWG again... A20 RWG is a HUGE change and should generate significantly faster than A19.x rwg.

Originally posted by CaptainNuclear: To me, it doesn't increase a save games life. It just increases the tedious looting sprees that I have to go through in order to get a gun for day 7. I do agree, having endgame loot within 1-2 hours of playing is a bit busted, by if I can only get a pistol, on a rough day 7 that was populated with a few cops that's not a good gameplay loop.

Guns are absolutely not necessary, for one. And for two, If you're ending up with cops on your day 7 horde, You must have massively increased exp gain or day length; I don't typically get cops at all till my day 21 or 28 horde, let alone multiple of them ... Read more

I can't think of a single time that any 'white knight' has said the game is a masterpiece and the devs can do no wrong.

I think most would consider me to be among the white knight category; But, tbh, I see there are issues and imperfections too. I acknowledge them. But, I don't think they're half so bad as it's made out to be.

I DO think the devs have gone in a primarily positive direction; The game is more popular now than ever, More average player count than ever, Most people are having a great time even if they gripe a bit; And I have said as much. But, Thinking the devs have largely done good by the game != "the devs never do anything wrong.".. Unfortunately, angry and frustrated detractors will take pretty much ANY form of defense as "The devs do no wrong, the game is a perfect masterpiece." without spending any time trying to understand the underlying reasoning or explanations.


All that aside, though, Good on you for self reflecting! And I'... Read more

Just to be clear, most of us aren't saying "the devs don't do anything wrong", or that "the game is a masterpiece".

Even the full-boar "white knights" don't go that far. It's just that those with opposing views don't listen.

No, I don't remember you specifically. Though I could probably look if I wanted. A lot of people just have issues understanding the reasons behind changes. Especially the part where the old systems you loved were only ever placeholders to fill space until the real systems were created.
