sledge turret

Comment
    Shurenai on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Sledge turret is one of those things that you either know how to use and it's hilariously overpowered, or you don't and it's awful.

Both the sledge and junk turret are not really 'early game' weapons unless you find them by chance, They're the only weapon in their class and each serves a different purpose for a person specced into the turret skill line.

Achievements dont work

Several possibilities.. Having 'Cheats' enabled will prevent achievement progress, as will enabling Debug Mode or Creative mode at any time during gameplay.

Some achievements are currently just straight up broken though.

Sometimes zombies are intentionally dumb and can't figure out their way around an obstacle. 😃

Any good overhaul mods?

Not sure why people always assume it was deleted when the first word is moved.
Lack of reading comprehension?

Anyone use the inverted power trick for anything useful?

If there really is such a thing, A drawbridge that goes up when a motion sensor sees a zombie is the first thing that comes to mind.

Horde night was broken?

Comment
    Shurenai on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Horde night is scaled to your progress in the game, also known as Game Stage. Your first horde night will typically be pretty easy, almost always ending before midnight. It gets progressively harder throughout the game.

Gamestage is a function of Player Level, and days since last death.

Basically, because of your chosen method of coping of taking an existing building and fortifying it, you didn't really gain any levels; nor did you have many days alive since it was the first horde night..So you get a really weak horde to compensate.

A few things.

Wildlife will despawn eventually, yes; but they respawn eventually to.

Loot is different in the current version of PC compared to the version on consoles. If I'm right, on the consoles it's still the case that every zombie corpse is lootable, but may or may not contain things? These looted zombie corpses were typically empty, with about 10% actualy having something, 5% of that being useless junk, 4% of which were things of dubious use, and 1% things of actual use.

Well on PC it was changed so that zombies have like, a 4% chance to drop a yellow loot bag which is guaranteed to have some things of use in it.

So, if I'm right, then, technically, yes, the drop rate lowered from 100% to 4%, but, overall, you'll get more useful things out of it without spending half of your game day checking empty corpses. Just listen for the chime indicating a bag dropped and you can get on with your day otherwise.

MOVED: bit of tech help

Comment
    Shurenai on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
It likely does, but was created in an earlier alpha than the one you're currently playing, and so is not shown in game.

Go to "C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds" (Also accessible by searching for '%appdata%' in windows and selecting 'Roaming')
and delete the worlds there that don't belong to a save you want to keep.

HELP HELP HELP ME

    Shurenai on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
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.

Is it possible to set the writeable storage container as the default storage container shape?

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

Is MP worth it?

Comment
    Crater Creator on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
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.

building in a city?

Comment
    Crater Creator on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
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.

Prevent Zombies from using a ladder downwards

Comment
    Crater Creator on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
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.
