7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Maybe...

Are you honestly wanting to understand or was your question rhetorical and all the suppositions you shared are actually what you already believe to be the truth? I don't want to waste my time giving answers that will just be rejected because you've already made up your mind.

Short answer: They started as a very small studio with low to moderate goals. This is their first project and they experimented a lot with different systems and implementations of features. The game's huge success led them to set their sights higher and although they've increased the size of their team, they are by no means a large studio. Some of the things you've mentioned like UI are on the list to overhaul now that they have a dedicated art team but A20 and A21 were all about environmental art and assets and POI overhauling.

Any advices for a new player?

7 days to die

Progression question from a noob

Just a few recent topics you can find by looking around a little. There are plenty more if you take some time to look around.

PINNED: Workshop

The console version of the game was ported by Telltale, the makers of the TWD games, so presumably that's why the console version has TWD skins. The PC version being the original wasn't made by Telltale- And The Fun Pimps have no rights over TWD content, so they can't just copy that DLC over.

Telltale went under though, so.. Tough luck in that department.

We have a pinned thread at the top to discuss this topic. Please don't make duplicate threads.

You won't get a response from the devs there either. You would want to post it in the suggestion forum.

I find it appalling that you think that because you play the game a lot, that makes you in any way qualified to give an opinion on how hard it would be to code something. I look forward to seeing your mod to add this that you wrote on your own in a few days be... Read more

Originally posted by Corsin: Do you have a bed roll down and do you have player placed blocks completely covering the ground inside your perimeter walls?

By default, LCBs are about 41m square (or thereabouts) and the bedroll blocks around 35m (forget exactly). LCBs do not prevent spawns within a LCB area if bare (unbuilt on) ground is present.

Bedroll only block POI spawns and random biome spawns.
LCB only blocks POI spawns.

There is a myth that if you fill the area with player-placed blocks, it will stop spawns. It does reduce it, but it is not a 100% guaruntee of having a spawn-free area. Especially if you have a large area.

Planned feature, but likely won't happen until they have the rest of the core finished, and are working on the story.

Last I recall was that they would be in specially radiated areas that you will need specific gear to be able to survive in. That area will also have more difficult enemies, and then there will be the boss to kill for rare legendary items.

Originally posted by ShadedMJ: I'm not talking about the quests or shopping. More on the fort setup and if there are/were ways to make it better. Stuff like : How to make players leave when closing other than teleporting them out. Is allowing players to stay overnight really that bad? You can lure a zombie into the shop and trader/zombie don't care and should they?

The reason for kicking players out at night is to prevent abuse of the protected zone for bloodmoon.

Please use the existing pinned thread for discussing the game's pace of development, instead of starting additional threads. Here is a link.

The first thing I would do is open the console with F1 and see if there are any errors (in red text) or if a message is spamming the console many times a second. If the slowdown only occurs in some areas, it could be a drone that’s fouled up. “le” in the console will list entities so you can check. If there is a drone listed, you can enter “jd clear” to remove it. There are no doubt other things that could cause a performance drop in the middle of a game, but this is one thing that’s been coming up in the current stable release.

Oooooold post. Lockin it.

Originally posted by JimmyIowa: Drop bags give way better loot than the corpse blocks used to. After harvesting an entire blood moon worth of hundreds of corpses in A16, I would usually end up with a lot of glass jars (which are no longer in the game), cans of food (food is brokenly over plentiful as is), paper, and maybe 10 shotgun shells total. Now loot bags give ultra hyper mega ****tons of ammo. And high end items like nightvis goggles.

In fact, I'd be okay with reverting loot bags to the loot table used by old A16 corpse blocks. If that's what you actually mean, then I agree.

I feel one has to point out that the loot bags spawn rarely, while in the old days every corpse was lootable. So each loot bag would... Read more

Oh, I'm not a developer. Just a moderator that's been supporting the game for free for the past decade.

It was removed due to performance restrictions. You still get basically the same stuff anyhow.

NP. Zed reach was fixed a couple of major builds ago. This was done alongside network enhancements to improve the perceived reach due to latency.

Since at least Alpha 19 the numbers have been pretty similar to this where zed reach is a good bit shorter than a players.

Reach of player without a weapon to extend it.

Reach of a zombie.
