When you see an alpha 19 thread go up, we will add stuff to it.
All I can say is most likely pipe weapons, POI work and more HD zombie replacements, possibly some new / old special infected.

Knives really suck early game though. If anything I'd buff the hunting knife so it is right in the middle of bone knife and machete.

I don't do doors and its not really possible since the door would eat into the voxel space above it.

Yeah I made the outside corner, but noticed the lack of an inside stair corner, it would be great for sunken living rooms, etc.

This would actually be a good solution.

But i frankly do not understand the limitation to have 2 of the same item on the hotbar. Are the hotbar slot not remembered independently? I guess the hotbar just have a "queue"...

If it was a bug then I would not stop your perma death play through.
Did the dirt fall on her and kill her?

Wandering hordes wander by you, randomly off to a side, but they have an investigate target in the distance, which probably causes them to be alert, so you can't sneak attack them.


I'd call that a bug. Added to TODO.

You can check the log file. It should show why a player died.


Looks like:

Entity name 830 killed by animalDireWolf 1561

If that's a single player game then you are the one and only authority on what constitutes cheese. Or milk. Or vegetables.

Actually volumes can be grouped, which would cause them to act as a whole. That was something I added back in March 2019, but designers have a ton of POIs and thousands of volumes, so they can't just easily go through through them all and know what could be improved.

When I read thisI felt like I heard a drum roll while I'm waiting to see snowdog's response to your comment

Yes, it essentially is.


The biggest POI have a bit over 30 zombie groups. 3 of those is 10% when it was 3.3% before.

Yes, it was balanced for the bigger POI.

Previously you only got the guidance for the last missing zombie room.


On a T5 POI it now shows you the last three. Unless you make it a point to tunnel through walls or skip entire floors that should work every time now.

If it is a problem then it is very likely a self-made one.


Don't take me wrong - feel free to tunnel all throughout the building. Just go all the way and hit every room while doing so. That works, too.

Well... Why don't you go sprint several marathons, fight a hundred zombies, dig several hundred cubic meters of soil and stone, chop a few dozen trees down, jump all over the place all while recovering from grievous injuries all in one day and see how hungry You feel after all that.

In different phrasing, Hunger decay is actually pretty slow. But all your activity from sprinting to jumping to swinging tools to climbing, to swimming, to recovering health all consumes hunger bit by bit- The more active you are, the faster your hunger goes down; Which, in all honesty, is pretty accurate. The player can singlehandedly achieve more by themselves in a single game day than a dozen strong burly men can in a work week; So it's completely fair imo for a commensurate amount of caloric intake to be matched against your tireless physique.

The most notable alternative to all your actions consuming hunger is a hard daily limit on how much activity you can have balanced... Read more

It tends to be the character controller colliding with the world, not pathing that uses a lot of CPU.

Resolution makes a large impact on 7dtd. Often people say I have blah blah specs, but fail to mention details like the resolution they are running the game at. If things feel laggy/choppy/bad, I'd be dropping the game to 1920x1080 and compare.

I was referring to it spawning from a sleeper volume. There is no coordination across sleeper volumes. I added that to my todo list, but it will probably not be in A19.

Not likely to change much. Way too expensive checking line of sight to all the potential blocks you could see.

Ahh, I remember the moment I asked this question. I was about 2,000 hours deep in the game...

People make a lot of guesses as to why the AI does something and it is often wrong. I see people test their designs with a bunch of the same zombie thinking the other types will do the same thing, which is sometimes not true.


Blood moon spawner does attack your base from multiple directions, but not all at once, it changes over time, because that is more efficient for pathing. The typical dumb zombie will not go very far to find a weak spot or opening, often preferring to beat on a wall near it instead of walking a bit to go through an opening. Yesterday I was just looking at that issue of being too dumb and beating the walls around a cemetery POI instead of using the opening, but really that is correct, since those are set to be that dumb. Thick walls would change that behavior, just like many things can change their behavior.

No zombie auto targets you except for blood moon spawns and POI volumes set to attack.

It's a common question, no need to feel dumb. Hands up those of you who are still clicking the goddamn backpack to sort your inventory... raises hand

Does it have the helmet light mod in it? Mining helmet without it now is just a helmet.
