A big note here is to consider how much Ram and vRam you have; If you have 16 gigs or less, and have your pagefile turned off, that could easily be a culprit of a memory crash. 7DTD uses a LOT of ram when loading up and serving the gameworld; Especially if any of the graphical content gets shunted to the main ram.

What are your PC specs? Bare minimum need your Ram total, and Video Card and it's vRam capacity; But more info would be helpful.

Also your video settings ingame.


As an example, If you have a card with 4gb vram, but play with Textures on Full, then the 4gb will be filled instantly AND 4gb more will spill over into normal Ram, as full textures takes 8gb; And thats before any other graphical settings and their own vRam requirements are considered. It's very easy to make that kind of mistake and have the game calling for 10+gb of normal ram. And if you have such a thing going on, and as mentioned above, have your pagefile disabled for some re... Read more

Sure. I know exactly nothing about what they have planned.

I recommend to avoid Survival Servers at all costs.

Unless you like horrendous server lag because it doesn't have enough hardware resources to operate properly.

Our group self-hosts though. Once we weighed the costs, it was about the same as 8 months worth of hosting for a single server, to get our own server hardware. With hosting 4 servers at the time, it paid itself off really quickly. Later we took the savings and got a second, and now are hosting 19 servers for 7 different games.

If you've got a halfway decent internet connection, and can afford the initial investment, it's totally the way to go.

No visual changes other than the cosmetic mods (dyes) tint parts of the vehicle. The headlight mod does make more light.

Some of them.


Storage changes are not trivial. Maybe after a20.

The mods I listed are all a20 will probably have. I spent today getting them enabled, icons set, tags set, slot counts set, fuel tank working and fixed a UI bug. Bicycle has 2 slots and it goes up from there for the other vehicles, but none of the 5 will probably be enabled for the bicycle anyway. The seat mod needs code still.

Yes, it will break the game.

Please, post the results of doing this, I am curious if it will "break" the game.
I mean, Wood can be acquired, albeit in a semi-limited fashion from scrapping chairs and chopping wooden blocks and such; And wood piles in certain POI's.

Removing the grass however makes some pretty significant changes to progression. Without grass fiber you can't make your starter tools like the Stone Axe; Can't make a bow, Can't make a bedroll, can't do a few other things either. You'd potentially be doing everything with your fists for a very long time.

For a refund, ask the store where you bought the game - just like with every other product.

These are the planned vehicle mods:


Fuel Saver - Works

Off Road Headlights - Works

Super Charger - Works

Expanded Seat - TODO

Reserve Fuel Tank - Working on today


None of them are fully done, since they still need icons, schematics and put in loot lists.


Drone should be in a20.

Your player with poor aim could take up a position where they can shoot the zombies in the back. That’s one of the key advantages to playing multiplayer in my view: not every zombie is coming for you in particular, and you can take advantage of that. In single player, it takes a more involved base design to get zombies to turn their backs to you.

The ones that also cover hiding the body.

I wouldn’t say the inability to sleep makes the game “hardcore.” On the contrary, this unusual superpower where the player never has to sleep makes the game easier by giving you more time to do stuff.

OP suggests making it so if you lose sleep, you “lose points.” It’s unclear what that means, but it would only make the game harder.

It's really interesting to me that multiple people think of horde night as being a Monday. For me, it's more like you spend all week planning for the event. The hard work, if that's what it is, goes into all the planning and preparations you make beforehand - the 'daily grind' to earn resources and secure your future. Then the Blood Moon is the culmination of the previous days: the big party, the big show or the big game if you like. A time to eschew routine, let loose and expend a lot. All things that are more synonymous with the weekend.

That's the natural fit for me, but... Read more

Turret ammo = rapid fire but weak shots
Shells = slower fire with shotgun spread

They’re supposed to always be aware of where all the blocks are and how strong they are. But they’re only supposed to be aware of where the players are when A) it’s horde night; or B) they actually hear or see you. So while one could say that they have X-ray vision of a sort, don’t think that it’s pointless to stay hidden and quiet.

Please read the Pinned thread on how to report an issue and follow the instructions.

To answer your question, you should use the Support & Bug Reports sub-forum If you’re filing it here on Steam. However, the official forum at 7daystodie.com is the best place to insure TFP see your bug report.

I appreciate you not wanting to clutter the forum, but nobody knows from reading the title “how come” what issue is going to be discussed in this thread. “How come” is too generic: a catch-all for all questions about the game, when we have a Questions & Answers sub-forum for that.

I've had trouble finding them? But thanks I'll look again.

Not to show favoritism, but this is the first one I saw.
