7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

The options are quest reset; Or quest failure. There is no good way to make the quest information and flags persist through logout, especially through crashes, that does not immediately lead to quest failure...

Upon a crash, the game scrambles to save data as things are unloaded; Your character is one of the first things unloaded from the world- If the quest wasn't reset, as you are requesting, at this point you would trigger the quest failed flag for not staying within the area..(This stands true of log out as well; your character is the first thing unloaded.)

Likewise, If you crash or something, when you're loading up the world after the fact.. If the quest wasn't reset, then, Your character is the Last thing to be loaded into the world (To prevent you from being attacked, losing hunger/thirst, etc while still loading); Your quest is loaded before you, you fail the quest for having left the area.

In either case, Your quest is now failed, not j... Read more

Originally posted by Dumbledood: In this case, the materials are stored in such a way (to my knowledge) that removing them from the item's storage is impossible before picking it up (they must be used to craft something).

So to say one should remove the stored material before picking the item up is offering a solution that doesn't exist at this time.

I personally don't know of any other games that has crafting materials in "workbenches," which can't be emptied out, and furthermore delete the materials if you do decide to move the workbench. The only option is to use them or lose them. Which isn't the friendliest mechanic. Rust is the closest thing that comes to mind. Haven't played Minecraft enough though to know if this i...

It's normal in most games of this nature that you have to empty the item before picking it up. As such, one would not assume it would hold the materials.

The information in the thread is still valid, so being raised from the dead isn't quite as bad. :)

Asked and answered many times if you had looked before starting a thread.

This will be addressed when the game is closer to completion. Doing it before then is a huge waste of the developers time and money.

Thank you ! additional info is always useful

Haha.. I didn't even realize it was a huge necro until this; Since all the posts are recent.. Didnt think to look at the OP's post... Read more

Originally posted by Hemperor PalpaTHC: So if I'm using one of these containers and I forget to "look" in it, will it delete the items in it or simply generate new ones?

items will stay in the container. Later when it's "reset" they will still be in there. When you pull them out it will take about 2 seconds to spawn new loot.

Originally posted by Ion: Too wrong. Maybe you don't understand the naming conventions. Alpha is not supposed to be about adding features. Alpha is supposed to be about making the foundations and core concept which you will build upon in beta.

This game has no core. It is getting reworked in every iteration of the alpha release. The developers have zero development experience and they are pretty much stuck in a development hell loop. They have lost their goal and they have no idea where the game is supposed to be heading.

There is objectively no reason to defend this game.

I suggest you do some reading, including this excerpt from the link below:

The alpha phase usually ends with a feature free... Read more

Keep up the hard work!

Alpha build of a game that has been development for 7 years and is still an alpha with next to zero progression.
If this is how it looks like, I hope I will live to see the beta.

Take a look at Alpha 1 and tell me again there's been "next to no progression".... lol.

That makes one of us.

Too right. If each Alpha keeps getting better (and, outside of A17, they generally have), then I for one am happy to see Alpha stretch till whenever.

Beta means no more new content, means I'll be a little bit sad we're in Beta. Yes, I'll enjoy the optimisations, but it'll be an end of journey so to speak.

Originally posted by ArchonOfJustice: Thank you very much. It would be nice though if it wouldnt' let you read a book or magazine you've already read, like in previous alphas.

You get more experience for reading them, so it's not like it's a loss.

OP is basically complaining that it's possible for players to fit into a 1.9 or less block gap, and cram themselves down into it. The result of which is that you can, basically and easily, be in a completely safe position from non crawling zombies.

It's a lot like in Minecraft how you can stand under a ceiling 2 blocks from the ground, and Enderman literally cannot reach you to attack you because they are 3 blocks tall.

As such, OP wants the devs to allow non-crawling zombies to crouch, so that you can't create little hidey holes; Or entryways that aren't a door that you can enter by crouching, but zombies cant follow you through.

Personally I think it's fine as is. But eh.

The higher your quest tier and your gamestage goes, the more likely it is to show you higher tier quests.

It's a known issue that at a certain point you basically never see anything lower than the tier you're on; And TFP plan to adjust it so that lower tier quests are more prominent and available.. Dont know when that change will come though. May be during A18, or it may not come till A19.

Originally posted by STDRandom Lead: Ty for this. I never knew either and have many hundreds of hours of play time. I just exited out and looked up the recipe but this is so much easier.

This is why I think the tell should be re-designed or made more prominent. Seems to be a lot of people who, liked you, missed it. I didn't happen to miss this one, but I've missed others for sure, but this one does come up a lot (it feels like).

Sadly I feel like it's just overlooked as a matter of course rather than being too subtle; It's there, It's pretty obvious...but people just don't seem to be picking up that all the little miniature icons mean something.

Yes, it's a subtle tell, probably too subtle I think, but it's been there for a while now.
