7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

What is the biggest deal breaker for not restarting a map? What would break on maps from the last experimental build? Just deciding whether to wipe it or not. Thanks. ... Wigbert ...

So far, is the inability to play on the world. Map files not being loaded properly from the server. Weird bugs where every time you fire a shot with your weapon your view gets rotated. Blocks not showing correctly. Invisible blocks.

That's just a short list you can get started on. I've only been able to spend about half an hour testing this build.

What happened with b179?

had issues that needed fixin. b179 lasted all of about 4 hours. LOL There are a lot of internal build you don't see public.

We suggest you start over with this new build.
Patch notes are posted here.

You can identify the block in debug mode by looking at it and holding shift with the F3 debug info up.

You are most likely playing an older save and a block might have been renamed/deleted or is on a server that has that issue. the block is an identifier to a missing block. (designed to do this)

if you see this in new map and not modded... then please let us know (by posting proper bug report in link given at top of page), which poi you found this in and if outside drop console and type DBS that will show us seed and location...

This has been reported several times already and each time a brand new map seed fixed it.. sorry but the old saying is still true... we are in alpha and things change.

This is what happens when you don't wipe data during experimental like you're supposed to.

Originally posted by LethalFinch: Ark has similar spear mechanics, with the main difference being that they stack in your inventory or hotbar to a max of 3. I think this should be the case in 7Days as well. would be a great 'quality of life' improvement. Lets be real for a second: I can run around with a stack of 6000 wood in a single inventory slot, but I can't stack 3 of the same quality spears in a single inventory slot? O_o

You might note that your 6000 wood has no durability and cannot have mods installed onto it. This is largely why usable items are not stackable; There's a lot more information needed in a spear than in a raw resource that is only used as a crafting material.


Spear stats are also variable base... Read more

Originally posted by Seftak: So as i expected it's because the hotbar is remembered as a whole and not as each separate spaces. A good way to code it would have been to have it remeber what is in slot 1 AND slot 2 AND slot 3 etc. Not just "in the hotbar".

So the game would know there was a spear in slot 5 and even if you drop all your hotbar then pick up the spear it will go to the 5th space and not the first one available.

This would fix the problem everyone has when picking up their backpack after dying.

Not quite. It does remember each separate space.. It just also remembers what is in the hotbar as a whole. It remembers what is in each slot- so if you drop three items, they should return to the three proper... Read more
