Well, regardless of what the problem is, you should at least attempt to describe it here in this post...Else you'll likely not get many people biting to offer their help as it could easily turn out to be way over their head, Or way too much effort to even begin helping to fix.

Steve. He says it is mostly done, but probably a few bugs lurking as is typical in new stuff, but I've not looked at it recently. He actually has a new task improving dismemberment features that one of our artists asked for.

I think the order is the order they are listed on the placeholder block that you craft.

You'll find servers for this game are solidly divided into PvP and PvE camps. Your lone wolf style would lend itself better to PvP naturally. However, you might enjoy a hybrid approach, where you venture out to do your own thing during the week, but come back to a communal base to team up for horde night (contributing your fair share of resources in the process).

If you're looking for a better idea of what specific servers are on offer, see the Servers sub-forum.

Not yet, but we do have some stuff in the works.


I've been doing a lot of cleanup in the chunk system, so some moderate gains there and fixed some mesh/material leaks, but there is plenty more to do. Today I worked on improving the chunk mesh LOD update (really just hides meshes). Chunk decals/models now dither out, so I can reduce the ranges they get hidden at while having no popping.

Yesterday I added the xml for the burnt feral zombie, which has the flames. He is tougher and faster than the normal one.

Long ago, there were more zombies milling about in the city. Now they’re overwhelmingly tied up in the POIs, so it’s become a nonissue.

The one downside I can think of is, because your base is close to several POIs, you may never be far enough away from them for long enough for their loot to respawn. So you may be hurting yourself by having the closest buildings permanently depleted of loot.

Given the advantage a close trader provides - both in terms of goods for sale, and the ability for their quests to reset a POI, thus overriding the loot respawn timer - I think it’s well worth it.

I’ve been making the ladder extend above ground level, and putting a wall behind it to either side so zombies can’t simply walk onto the ladder from the ground. I’m still tweaking it though.

There was some talk of a mountable user-controlled turret for the truck that would basically be like the m60, but I think they dropped the idea.

To be exact, which block is that?
I'm afraid I don't know exactly what block it is. I just know I and others have experienced POI's floating even after every connection to ground has been severed. It's either a specif... Read more

Yeah, I went to collapes that and it didnt comedown until I had completely taken out the entire bottom row of supports. Same with the barn itself. Guy I was playing with and myself spent a whole in game night and into the next morning taking that barn down.....we had to completely take down every single 1st layer brick before it came down....
Pre-existing POI's are a bit special; They have a flag to ignore stability updates to a greater or lesser extent so that buildings that could not otherwise exist are able to be created and loaded into a world. Typically this means you must remove eve... Read more

Sounds cool, though that might be a lot of data to either record the videos, or the gamestates so the scene could be recreated... moreso for some players than others. :cozyroe::cozycastondeath:

That’s the perfect question for our Modding sub-forum. I’ll move your thread there.

Why are you replying to a 6 year old thread? Never mind, don’t answer that. Thread closed.

First, 208E 384N of what map? Navezgane? One of the pregen maps? A RWG map?

Second, Structural integrity in 7DTD is, at it's core, A function of Available Support vs Current Weight. If Weight ever exceeds Available Support, a collapse is initiated, and the conditions surrounding it can lead to it propagating, or only collapsing a few blocks; all depends on what collapses, where the collapsing blocks land, etc.

EG: A concrete block has a weight of 10, and a support of 120; So it can support 12 blocks of concrete from the measured point.

Every placable object and block in the game has a weight value. Zombies, players, and vehicles also have weight.

So you had a tower, You built it up, You filled it with more and more and more weight via upgrades and objects like the forge, work bench, probably farm plots, chests, storage crates and other blocks....and you broke the camels back with the addition of the chem station.

Calling it junk but not explaining why? It's easily abused? How exactly? It requires me to login with steam and prohibits duplicates on the same server?
