7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Originally posted by The Civillian: Just been playing a game with my friend, raided a shamway factory, got near the top, followed the lights as your supposed to.

Went through a door near the top and got dropped into a room FILLED with zombies (Ferals and radiated, about 12 I'd guess), she got eaten within seconds,

No warning, no way out, it was litterally a 'you die here' room, regaurdless of what you have and or do.

I thought things like that were getting removed as they were seen as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ttery.

If it's the room I think it is, There is a way out. It's just not immediately apparent; So it's quite easy to miss while you're panicking about all of the zombies coming for your tasty flesh.

There is a way out of just about every trap you can fall into in the game; The only exception that comes to mind is a three story drop that tends to be a one way trip to spla... Read more

Since I was still able to survive the onslaught on Bloodmoon I'm fine and will try to just gather that Iron again.

Is there any way Forges share materials from a pool? (might be off topic, sry)

No. Each forge only uses its own, self-contained material. You can, of course, have a cluster of forges and keep the raw materials to eventually be smelted in one crate, however.

Originally posted by Trooper Bri: The reason for resetting a POI for a challenge is to insure that it is in fact a challenge.
Just say no.

And to make sure theres loot there for you to get; And to make sure there are zombies inside for you to kill for the quest; And to make sure the placement of the quest bag is there if applicable; And to make sure the player hasn't turned the quest house into a killing floor for the zombies that spawn..etc, etc, etc. Lotsa reasons for why.

Originally posted by Ragequit Inc.: It is as intended, essentially. Activating a quest resets the whole POI.

(I always put my loot chests in the middle of the road)

This. short version is it's intended and there are reasons for it. Just plop your chests out on the road; Or don't do quests in POI's you know you have storage chests and stuff in. (You can always abandon quests instead of doing them.)

The area is only reset upon interacting with the floating '!' marker at the quest location; So you have plenty of time to cross reference your map or memory, or even just check inside real quick if it's a place you're using for storage.

When you chop down trees in the burnt forest you get both wood and coal as harvest material so I'm pretty sure that "coal" is a broad abstraction that includes charcoal. If your idea is to generate another source for coal in addition to mining it or chopping burning piles or trees in the burnt forest biome then I think it is a good idea and could be a campfire or forge recipe to convert wood into coal. But I doubt the developers will want to introduce a new item that is just a weaker version of already existing coal.

Can't have multiple output items from a recipe, so no. Also making it similar to coal would just be duplicating for the sake of duplication. There really isn't a need to make a second source for charcoal.

Originally posted by Nimbull: I wouldn't say nothing myself. I've kept myself occupied pretty nicely with the game. That said, Alpha 18 has been the least played version for me because the terrain seem locked to a specific pattern and I can't get it as random as I used to like in Alpha 16 and such. Gets kind of old playing in remakes of the pre-fab map that's slightly random but not completely.

Have you tried Nitrogen to generate maps instead? A lot of users swear by it.

People have been bringing up "too long in Alpha" ever since 2015 when it hit its 2-year anniversary in Early Access. All the accusations of "dishonest devs" "lazy devs" "incompetent devs" "uncaring devs" "disorganized devs" etc etc etc were all made way back then and it turns out we were barely into it. Here we are now an additional five years beyond that time and the same exact pointless dialogues are happening.

Obviously, all of this talk about nothing has zero effect on how quickly or slowly the game is developed. "It's done when it's done!" is the only answer TFP has for those who wonder when it will be over. The journey is a ride that you either enjoy or don't. If the destination is all you care about then wait for it.

There are iron doors, and steel vault doors in the game too- Both player made (pvp) and in PVE in several POIs, usually the higher end... Read more

Yes exactly. We cant compare the game to real life of course but I can confirm; Where Im from on the rural highway on a foggy night you cannot see 10' in front of you and on-coming vehicles dont pop up until they are right beside you and that is not an exaggeration. Also any light passing through the fog makes it seem even more thicker.

To the op. Entering weather fog 0 will completely fix ...

Originally posted by AviusL: Even if it's foggy fog doesn't make everything around you super bleak so then that's a game thing (bug?) that should be changed. Fog shouldn't appear right on top of you like that.

Fog density matters a lot. With dense fog in day light (which is fairly rare, as fog tends to occur in the evening or morning hours as the sun is rising/falling) it can very easily be super bleak. Where I live we get tons of super thick fog; Can't see further than a street away; often not even that far, and it greys everything that you CAN see out pretty harshly. Colors become very muted, and it can feel very smothering to be inside it.

Fairly certain that is fog; Or at the very least fog effect. It seems you've used some method to force FOV or something out further than it should be; Or perhaps to a resoltuion the ame doesn't support, since the UI is not against the edges like it should be..Is it possible whatever you changed screwed up something unintended, causing fog to appear 24/7?

In short; That is NOT how the game should be appearing most of the time. So if it's a constant thing for you, something, somewhere, is broken and not functioning as intended. IS this a completely fresh install? Including using the launcher to clear all game files before re-installing? Lot of possibilities here. Need more info.

Originally posted by JimmyIowa: I don't think much of anything is guaranteed if your game crashes. Including not being able to load your save file again.

The bigger issue is why is your game crashing. I don't remember having a crash for years now on my two systems.

Pretty much this. Data loss is a frequent occurrence when the game is shut off unexpectedly during a save function- And the game is constantly saving things here and there in the world. VEhicle location, for example, is being updated constantly as you're driving around.

So yeah...crashes will cause corruption. It's a problem in pretty much -Every- game that crashes, not just this one. And it's not really 'fixable'.

There's a reason that bas... Read more

BTW - this didn't "slip through testing", lol :) And it won't change. It will stay this way. The reason is because the game can't tell if you have built a aabase in a POI. Because what would qualify as a "base"? You can't just count any player made blocks as a base, because lots of people use wood frames to climb and move around while exploring. So the program doesn't know what you consider to be a "base". Live and learn. :)

With the exception of a placed bedroll and/or a placed land claim block, yep.
