7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Did you perchance select Alpha 9.3 instead of none on the beta's options?

Kinda makes you wonder why the max supported playre count is 8 then doesn't it?

Originally posted by vgifford: Yep, 10 years (I think it was 2013). And just how long did it take for your independent game take to reach AAA status? Game development takes HOW long for an independent company?

It's been just over 7 years now; Late july 2013, iirc.

I would say it’s the best option available for players now, with the caveats that it’s an unofficial third party tool and it’s only for Windows.

Same as Vortex, or any of the other similar programs. At a guess about a third of the people who try to use them find them too complex to be able to use properly. The forum, Reddit, and Discords are littered with help requests from people who simply cannot read and follow simple instructions, so they go asking for help to have people basically tell them the exact same thing in the instructions.

I mean, we're talking about people who don't have enough experience with a computer to be able to drag and drop a folder into another folder without screwing it up. So they need a 3rd-party program to do it for ... Read more

Originally posted by Ming: It got to the point that CA made it so that if you are playing a modded game in the bottom left hand corner you have a single white pixel. This way they can immediately identify if a screenshot is from a modded game. Because if it is, then they ignore the bug report.

Hmm, that’s a good idea. It’s definitely been easier to dismiss bug reports after TFP put the version number in the upper right corner.

OP, you’re reacting as if engaging the dire wolf is the only option. It’s not. It’s totally normal in survival, horror, and RPG genres to have a phase where the player is outmatched by certain enemies, and avoiding confrontation is important. You shouldn’t expect to feel fearless on day 6.

looooong thread on this already.

Yes, it does; The text in the individual levels doesn't mention it because the main skill does. Crossbows are still bows.

Originally posted by vgifford: Yeah, I have to agree, the biggest plus to the workshop is the ease of modding the game in question. To me, all mods are "Use at the consumer's risk." If a mod breaks your game, don't blame the game's creators.

And I totally agree with you there. But, Most people don't- Or rather couldn't be bothered to. How many times do you think it's happened that a user has had a fatal crash or major issue, came to post a bug report ranting about how screwed up the game is; Neglects to include a crash log, a week of furious ranting goes by as people try to help them, and then they drop the bomb: "Well, I DID install these ... Do you think any of those could be causing this?"

Because if you think ... Read more

Implementing the workshop before the tools are in place is stupid at best.

To implement it before an Alpha build is finalized is pretty dumb too. It's the reason that 3/4 of the workshop items for Empyrion are broken, and do not work with their current version.

Add to this that the fact that there is no version tracking system in the Steam Workshop. Only DLC requirements are tracked.

And to be fair, most of the reason for using the workshop instead of manually installing mods, is because of the complexity. Having to know to read if the mod is going to be compatible with the version of the game client you have is simply too much for many players to handle. Hell, it's a bit of a stretch to assume that mod authors using the workshop would take the step to identify what version of the client their mod is written for. Once more I'll point you to the Empyrion workshop here, because it's a perfect example of what goes wrong when you add workshop support too ea... Read more

The latest hasn't changed. No workshop till full release. They don't want a workshop full of thousands of mods deprecated by a dozen versions that don't work on the latest and just cause issues for people that install them- Issues that get reported with no care from those people and just flood the bug forums with unsolvable issues, etc etc.

So let's analyze this...

Is Fertilizer Gone? This is a simple question with a Yes/No answer. No discussion whatsoever. "Yes it is gone"

Also a simple question with a Yes/No answer. No discussion whatsoever. "Yes it was."

Ah, I didn’t know you wanted a stovetop texture too. Well, if this is a decorative space where the voxels needn’t be functional, you could place a paintable plate or sheet block on top of your cabinets, allowing you to do a different rotation for the stovetop.
