7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Originally posted by WhitWHit: That seems like a complete over exaggeration, clearly. Listen, I shouldn't have to console command "sa" then copy save files and rinse and repeat this process several times just to make sure the game doesn't stuff up.

This is no exaggeration.
Depending on the size of your map, and how much you explore and build, a "save" can be anywhere between 5 and 30GB of data on your drive. 30GB is the minimum recommended free space that the client will reserve for one when you start it.

As this is a voxel game, the client is constantly reading and writing data from a number of files in the save. It's not doing something periodically. You cannot copy out the files while it's running without risking... Read more

Saves are quite large. Do you have 30-50GB of free space on your C: drive for just a couple of saves? 200-300GB free for several?

Originally posted by mONONOke_____: i heard this many times.
i have 6 forges, 3 concrete mixer, 2 chem stations and 2 workbenches.
they are not all running all the time. but often many of them when i am out.
i never see any damage when i am back.

A couple of things.
1. Because you are out.
2. They don't build heat if they aren't running.
3. Heat isn't shared across chunk boundaries. If you have a forge in one chunk, and the forge sitting directly next to it is in another chunk, you can turn both of them on and it is only calculated as one forge because each is in a different chunk. A chunk is 16x16 blocks.

Originally posted by Faerador: I could swear there were once mod slots available for vehicles, which would have allowed you to throw a dye in there to change color. Did the Pimps remove them at some point?

Planned feature for a20.

Originally posted by Teratus: In earlier builds of the game zombie footsteps were louder.

I preferred this myself not just because it made them easier to hear coming but it significantly added to the dread when I had to bunker down for the night and a horde would wander past my hide spot because I could never tell how close they were just by the footstep sounds which made every single movement or action a risk to take lol

The quieter footsteps greatly diminished this experience.

I found it annoying for precisely that reason, that the zombie sounded like it was RIGHT BEHIND YOU no matter the actual distance. There are only two senses you, the user in front of the screen, can use in this game: sight and sou... Read more

Originally posted by zybourne: No, we mustn’t mention this. The devs will just put even more empty jars in loot as a way to counteract complaints.

But I’ve heard it’s a game limitation, with how campfires and cooking recipes work.

It's a limitation with crafting recipes from the ground up, not just cooking. Recipes cannot output more than one result. So either you get the Corn Bread, Or you get the glass jar.

There are workarounds, the common sense mod for example makes it so you get the glass jar back when you eat it, similar to getting an empty bottle from drinking, or an empty can from eating canned food.

But the devs just don't consider it to be worth the trouble to go change those things at this ... Read more
