7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

It was a change in the last alpha. Drinks no longer return an empty jar and the empty jar item itself has been removed from the game. You can find murky water in loot containers which can then be boiled if your campfire has a pot. You can craft dew collectors which produce clean water over time. You can drink murky water directly from a water source. You can purchase water and other drinks at the trader and from working vending machine. It's all a result of the empty jar item not existing any longer preventing you from crafting jars or using them to gather water.

The community has been polarized by this change for the last year so there is plenty of reading material if you want to search for it.

Are you the type that likes to play for 30 hours or so on a save and then start over and play through again several times before you get bored and take a break with other games? If so then start now and it won't be any big deal. If not, then wait.

Has it been reported as and acknowledged to be a bug and just hasn't been fixed; Or is this something you personally think is a bug because it bothers you and your playstyle, but may be intended design?

Cause gotta say that IMO that doesn't sound like a bug at first blush.

Likely not as the primary issue preventing cloud saves won't have changed with the 1.0.

Simply put, the saves are too large, individually even one save can exceed the maximum allowed size per user of the steam cloud, and each save requires the associated world file too which is itself most of the steam cloud limit.

Cloud backup is not likely to ever happen for 7DTD unless Steam ups the maximum per-individual limit.

Mixed bag, Any mod that expressly changes xml without requiring additional files should be fine to only have on the host; Clients are issued the host's xml settings when someone joins.

Any mod that requires additional files though, such as a UI mod or that adds new models/textures/sounds/whatever would require the client's to download the mod themselves, or they won't have those models/textures/etc.

Without knowing how the mod accomplishes what it does, I couldn't say which way it'd be. When in doubt, have clients get the mod themselves too.

Provided there are still modders interested in modding, yes. 1.0 isn't going to be removing any modding capabilities already built into the game; if anything, those capabilities will be expanded a bit more.

There will likely be a delay between 1.0 and mods updating to be usable on 1.0, though.

Or "kill 500 zombie dogs while you're armed with only a twig while naked and drunk and in midair and without taking any damage"

Or my personal favourite, the "we won't even tell you what the requirements are" achievements.

I don't care which of the above they go with. Not my thing.

Yep. There's a fair amount of achievements, not too many, not too little; Not too complex, not too laughably easy. I could maybe see some story/bandit related achievements once implemented, as those are two new systems essentially, but aside from that, what we've ... Read more

does it still reset the loot in the specific zone if it was looted prior?

Yes. It resets everything within the POI boundary, Loot, missing blocks, zombies, everything.

Usually because you didn't exclude the client from security software. This is covered in the Pinned Troubleshooting thread over in the support section of the forum.

I'll move your thread to the correct section so you might find it better.

Just think of “crafting” as sorting through a bunch of your wood pieces until you find a log that works. The icon looks like planks but it’s just “wood resource”. Lots of the middle steps are abstracted so getting a log is just sorting through several pieces of wood while making a building block includes (unseen) planing the rough cut wood into planks and fitting them together into the block.

Personally I think a thick rough cut branch would be a better icon that’s the planks.

Reduction was done as a result of having a limited number of items that could exist in the code. Bloat by having logs, sticks, planks, ect was reduced. Same with ores.

And no, you aren't getting planks. It's just "resource wood".

All zombies, not just birds, essentially navigate the world based on what they perceive to be the path of least resistance.

There's a bunch of details, but the TL;DR is that it's about block HP and time taken. If Path B has a combined vs, they'll take path b.

Ultimately it's all about time taken; Block HP only matters in that it contributes to time taken.

To pose an example, You make a wall that has 4000 HP, but there's an opening in the wall big enough for a zombie to walk through. If you stand on the opposite side of the wall, they'll see the wall, with 4000 HP and conclude it would take, for example, 60 seconds to break through it; Meanwhile there's an open path to you that only takes 5 seconds. In this case they take the open path, because it's the path that takes the least time... If the wall was only 200 HP and broken in 5 seconds, and the path around would take 20 seconds, they'd beat through the wall instead.


In your case, Yo... Read more

No particular skill will raise the Urban Combat spawn rate, It's a unique book series not a crafting book series.

Just gotta hope you get lucky.

I'm intrigued now, what is this new challenge system about ? I can't seem to find anything about it in the Alpha 22/1.0 thread.

I'm really surprised Roland gave that much information on it because... Read more

Why? Was a new UI ever announced to be in a22/1.0?

To the best of my knowledge, the only mention of a UI change is for Q2 2025 in the roadmap. It isn't even listed as a new UI. just a UI/Main Menu overhaul. It could be entirely limited to the main menu and options/save settings, and would not impact anything else.
