7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Originally posted by JimmyIowa: What is the difference between this and picking up your forge and workbench and putting them in your minibike storage? Then setting them on the ground when you stop?

I mean it's creative, but what does this offer other than, effectively, 4 more vehicle storage spaces in the form of "slots" for workbenches?

Quality of life, basically. You wouldn't have to pick up the stations when leaving, and you wouldn't have to re-place them and a new land claim when arriving.

If it were up to me, I'd implement this as a pickup truck, where the bed in back is a 2x2 grid of blocks and you can put whatever blocks you want there: stations, storage, bedroll, turret, it's up to you.

Moved to the correct section.

If you read the Pinned Troubleshooting thread, this is covered.

This. Also the performance isn't actually bad unless you're playing on a toaster.

Even then, I've shown it's possible.

You do not want to waste space to carry breaching charges but will carry lockpicks? They take the very same space but you cannot use lockpicks to open vault doors and they take much longer to open safes unless you inves...

Originally posted by MMJ: You can't pick those doors because most POI are constructed like "dungeons". Meaning you're supposed to go through a predetermined path to go all the way to the last room, a.k.a the treasure room.

Thoses locked doors are only there to make the POI believable/realistic (as a building), and they offer an alternative to you : do you prefer to visit that POI the way it was intended (by not destroying the locked doors and by following the path the dev. made) or do you want to roam around freely (by destroying thoses doors) ?

The free roam being at the cost, of course, to attract most, if not all, the zombies in the POI to you. Because destroying locked doors tend to make A LOT of noise.

I mean, it's 6 sticks of -something- wrapped in a timer. Considering it's made with gunpowder, acid, iron, and some electrical parts, it's definitely not C4. Might look like it- But it isn't.

1. What exact CPU model? It makes a huge difference. I have an i5-8400K @ 3.8GHz with 16GB RAM, game on SSD, and a 1060 6GB here with zero issues.

2. What resolution? (Spinning off #1, you may have it set higher than your CPU is capable of.)

3. How much RAM do you have? What speed is it running at? Is it actually running at it's optimal speed?

4. "hard drive" is extraordinarily vague. Is it a traditional platter, a hybrid platter with SSD buffer (SSHD), an SSD, or a NVMe. It makes a huge difference. Much like your actual CPU would.

5. What are your exact video settings? example[i.gyazo.com]

If you have trouble figuring any of this out, read the Pinned topic on how to report an issue.

16k maps are not supported. Max supported is 8k, and max tested stable is 12k. 16k is just asking for trouble.

You're going to run into map corruption, sync issues, and strange things like this even with hardware that could support it.

When I go to play older versions, my fav is a10.4. Though I did have a lot of fun in a13 as well.

Tbh, the most common answers you're going to get are likely going to be "Current/A19", "A16" and "A12".


Personally, A19; The current one. If you're new to the game, Just get started with the current- Don't worry about the old.

As for why, Jimmy pretty well summed it up. It's more cohesive, Presented better, designed better, less bugs, better optimized (yes; It's technically better optimized overall for it's visual fidelity. Even if it runs a little worse than it used to, They've dramatically boosted the graphical fidelity and that came with some weight on performance that they're still polishing.. And that it still runs about the same is nothing short of incredible. At least imo.)

Zombies are smarter- Which is a mixed bag, some like it, some don't. I do; I don't miss zombies running in circles for no reason. Though the current has a couple oddities of it's own.

The combat feels better, Weapon handling in general feels better, the POI's f... Read more

Also, the question of pre-clearing or not is strictly personal! I pre-clear some POIs just because I know where the goodies or books or whatever I'm looking for may be since I've been playing for quite awhile. Doing it the way you are doing it is perfectly acceptable and you ...

The hitbox of the plants doesn't directly match the ability to see the prompt for the next one over. IT's a bit finicky, I'll give you that.

Unfortunately, Living off the Land functions by using the block upgrade/downgrade/harvest system; It's as if you're chopping a block of wood- It goes from Wood Block->Wood Frame when you chop it, and then from Wood Frame->Gone when chopping it more. For chopping the block you harvest back wood.

The plant grows basically the same way Wet Concrete dries; It has a timer that it abides by, and when it finishes, bam, it becomes a grown plant that you can 'downgrade' by hitting it to get the crop's yield.

For plants it's Plant->Plant Seed->Gone; And when you hit it, you get the Crop's return; when you hit it as a seed you get a seed.

The Living off the Land bonus yield works like Salvage Operations or Motherlode- You get back more because it's amplifying the drops. But, this doesn't work with E to harvest; Becau... Read more
