Survivors, Avoiders, and Maniacs! Since a lot of people are sitting at home and are looking to kill some time, we would like to offer you guys a chance to bite A19's bugs before they even arrive on EXP. You will need to be able to communicate in english. Broken, fluid, native speaker, avid learner, as long as you can describe an issue, you are fine, fear not. Builds are coming regularly, having to start over up to several times a day should not be an issue, if you are interested. For communication we will provide a discord server where you can report bugs, talk to other people and maybe catch some of the QA team by chance. Here is what we would need from you: Steam name: Hours played: Started on Alpha: Discord name: Native language: Operating system : Hours played and community involvement will be big factors counting towards an invite. Added operating system, as we will need more linux and mac testers. If you already applied, please just edit your original post.

Welcome to the Alpha 19 Dev Diary. As of this time we don't even know what to call Alpha 19. It might be small named updates like "The New Combat Book Update" which could start at "19.0", with the "Vehicle Update" landing on 19.2, etc. What we do know is we're working on some new books, a vehicle update, etc but how and when we roll out what is to be determined. Hopefully it can be several point release patches to get you guys more frequent updates over 6-12 months instead of one big drop in a year. Weapons Update All weapon types will have 3 tiers. (eg: Wood Club --> Baseball Bat --> Steel Mace) Each weapon still has 6 quality levels. New top tier Auto Shotgun New mid tier Machine Gun New low tier Junk Sledge New top tier Junk Drone Most pre-alpha 18 weapons have new models and textures New Steel Fireaxe, new Steel Club. New Books Tech Junkie Learn from MacDyver himself to build useful gadgets from common household junk! Grease Monkey Learn to modify and craft vehicles of all currently existing shapes and sizes Bar Brawling Learn from Irish legend "Lucky @%$*#!" himself and never get bested in a good ol' fashioned bar room brawl. Spear Hunter Get connected with your inner caveman and master the forgotten art of spear hunting. Perk tree reduction Many non combat perks didn't feel like they were worth investing into or the cost was too great for what they offered, so many perks are being reduced to 3 ranks instead of 5. Lucky Looter: removed all digging bonuses. New perception perk: Treasure Hunter: Become one of the greatest treasure hunters of all time learning tricks that would even make Blackbeard envious. Rank 1: Plunderer Narrow down treasure locations to 7 meters and find 10% more items in buried treasure. Rank 2: Maurader: 5 meters and 20% more items. Treasure Hunter: 3 meters and 30% more items. The Infiltrator, Animal Tracker, The Penetrator, Lockpicking, Sexual Rex, Well Insulated, Living off the Land, Rule #1 Cardio, Run and Gun, Flurry of Blows, Parkour, Hidden Strike, From the Shadows, Daring Adventurer, Charismatic Nature, Physician will all have reductions or changes made to them. Yeah science will be removed and its perks distributed to others. Candy Candy will be added to vending machines, making canned foods more scarce in the process. Candy has zero calories but will boost attributes or provide special abilities for a short duration, like recog and fortbites. Here are a few examples of over 10 new candy items coming to A19. Skull Crushers Rock hard candy: Gives you a rock hard punch. Increases melee damage 50% for 2 minutes. Atom Junkies: Atom sized candy and atomic sized power! Increase explosive damage 50% for 2 minutes. Sugar Butts: If ifs and butts were candy and nuts every day would be Christmas! Well now it can be with one tasty Sugar Butts Candy. Increases Better Barter one rank for 2 minutes. New super filling foods All new super foods have 0% food poisoning. Gumbo Stew Shepard's Pie Spaghetti Tuna Fish Gravy on Toast Improved Animations Player arms in third person will no longer be stiff when moving with one handed tools, fists or weapons, instead their arms will move more naturally when they walk and run. Zombies heads will turn to track the player. Loading Screen Tips Loading screens will come with interactive survival tips the user can advance or go back to read the next or previous tip. Random World Gen Improvements Random biomes! Points of interest 7 new or refurbished ranger stations Hardware stores reimagined Much much more. Traders All traders still sell everything, but now each one specializes in something. Joel sells armor, Jen sells meds, Bob sells vehicles and tools, Hugh sells weapons and ammo, and Rekt will sell food and seeds. After graduating to the next quest tier traders offer a special quest that will take you to the next trader. Traders have head tracking so they look at the player. Integrated Survival System Hunger and thirst bars returned to main play screen New Zombie vs player critical hits system give specific injury debuffs such as lacerations, arm sprains and breaks, etc Injuries cause a lowering of max health and/or stamina until they are remedied. Multiple injury effects stack. Vomitting removed. Bad food hurts health and has a chance for dysentery. Basic food heals a little and adds fullness. Advanced recipes give max stamina bonuses and greatly increases health and fullness. Vehicle Update - pushed to A20 Vehicle Mods Vehicle break down and collision system

Thought I'd make a single post for all my modlets that work on A19. Basically it's all the various A18 ones, tested and adjusted if necessary to make sure they work on A19. There's also a few new ones that I thought folks might like. All of these are XML only. Enjoy. 3 Slot Forge - Adds an extra input slot to the forge and moves the UI around a little so there's no window overlap. 12 Slot Crafting Queue - Increases the crafting queue from 4 slots to 12. Scrap everything! 60 Slot Backpack - Pretty self explanitory. 60 Slot Backpack (with Food/Water bars) - As above, but with food and water bars moved from under the toolbelt to under the Health/Stamina bars on the left. 96 Slot Backpack - Pretty self explanitory. 96 Slot Backpack (with Food/Water bars) - As above, but with food and water bars moved from under the toolbelt to under the Health/Stamina bars on the left. Food and Water Bars - Just the food and water bars from my above backpack mods so users can use larger backpacks if they so wish. Backpack Buttons - Adds Stash All, Stash Stack and Stash Stack Smart buttons to the backpack when a container is open (including vehicles). Backpack Buttons V2 - As above, but the added buttons use icons already in the game rather than custom ones provided by me, therefore better for servers. HP Bars - Remember the red HP bar that was shown off in A17? This adds that back into the game for folks who liked that idea. Log Spikes - Makes Wood Log and Iron Spikes craftable again. Pickup Plants - Allows the player to press the 'E' button (default. May be different for other languages/controllers) to pick up plants. This does NOT grant extra harvest based on perk. You have to punch for that. Max Animals/Zombies and Claim Blocks - Adds options to the main menu for the player to select max spawned animals/zombies in the world in SP. Also allows the player to have more than 1 claim block via menu option. Steel Ammo - Adds the steel ammo from A17 for players who enjoyed that option. Always Open Traders - Removed the open/close times from traders so they always remain open (tested with Trader Jen and seems to work). Bigger Bloodmoons - This is a mix of things. It removes crawlers from horde nights, increases the total number and the max alive (so you should have more zombies) AND uses new zombies with reduced AI for better FPS. Zombie Stutter Stop - Forces zombies to preload into RAM, which helps reduce the stutter while playing vanilla. How to manually install modlets tutorial video:

No you guys are not players, you are back seat designers who want a grindy complicated sharp stick fest (well most of you anyway). Players are guys who just bought the game today, and maybe guys who play 20 or 100 hours. You guys are obsessed and have 5000 hours and because of that you want more and more challenge. If you could mind wipe you would just get in and enjoy the game more now than ever but because you are tainted with 18 alphas that cannot be undone. I think the game is way way way way way too easy. But I have 15000 hours so I cannot take my experience and pass that on to a new player. So you have to be smart and watch new players play without coaching them. If they get it you did a good job, if they need wikis and friends coaching them to do everything then you suck and need to change your designs or make it more user friendly. Anyhow I think it will be better. Instead of punishing players for cooking we're rewarding them. The best foods require canned foods to make and give very nice bonuses, like +40 stamina for 5 minutes. This pretty much makes power attacking more and mining much more enjoyable so for me its a new drive to get the better recipes instead of "oh I won't puke". natural healing is nerfed so you might need to eat for health which puts a dent in your food supply. At the end of the day its not done and you guys are bored so nit picking this is life right now I guess. I say wait til you play it as a whole with all the changes then judge it.

I've found a client-side workaround for this AI problem that could save the development team a huge amount of time that could be spent elsewhere; Start a game as normal - any difficulty setting will do. Build a base as you normally would. The materials you use don't matter. Now, and I stress that you need to follow this next part EXACTLY, otherwise the AI fix won't work; Don't build exploits in your base If you follow these steps, you should find that the AI pathing issues resolve themselves and you get the survival experience you're looking for.

NitroGen, This is a random world generator. It will create customizable random worlds for 7DtD. Configure your own personal world.. You can select: -type of landscape (currently included are Forests, Alpine Mountains, Canyon Desert, Rocky Hills) -the number and size of cities and towns -the general number of POIs and smaller settlements (Farms, trailerparks, old western towns, etc) -4k, 8k, 16k (experimental) or custom dimension maps -the player start positions (far away, close to towns or random) -the number and position of traders (close to cities and towns, or far in the countryside) -even import your selfmade hightmap (play on a realworld terrain or a cat picture) -spawn together in Multiplayer, and spawn near a town if you want -the number of traders -[dedicated server, Ravenhearst, Darkness Falls (see bottom of the post)] DOWNLOAD: for Alpha 19: NitroGen v0.501 A19 (experimental) A19 experimental version for Alpha 18: NitroGen v0474 NitroGen v0.481 Experimental (new highway feature and ability to generate several maps at once) Performance: After you finished generating and installing the map, and want to play, close NitroGen, as it reserves a substantial amount of memory for the generation. In case you want to drop a small donation: A19: CompoPack temporary workaround for A19, prefablist by CrainBramp - removing some import errors of A18 POIs https://pastebin.com/raw/hf7mhe2D (overwrite the resources/prefablist.txt with this, or add a custom prefablist) Want more POIs? check CompoPack It will require you to have JAVA installed. (like old Minecraft...), you can get JAVA here https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp !! Make sure the DEFAULT is the 64bit version, if you have multiple Java versions installed !! The world-generation will take around 4 to 5 minutes for an 8K map This is a playble 4k example map, if you want to see the generated output: Example 4k Map (Alpha 18) (unregular updates): https://twitter.com/TheDamocles [Overview by youtubers] English: German: https://7days2die.de/alpha-18-x-rwg-nitrogen-tool video by Survager (Russian) some streamers using NitroGen maps: stream by JonahBirch jonahbirch stream by the bearded guys gaming https://www.twitch.tv/beardedguysgaming [Quick Guide] Hit 'GENERATE WORLD' to create a default 8K map. The world data will be saved to a folder (map name) inside the output folder. You will have to copy the created world-files folder to your 'GeneratedWorlds' Directory for 7 DaysToDie It should be somewhat like this: C:\Users\--MyUserName--\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds Then you can start a new world from within the game (the generated world-name will show up in the selection when starting a new world) This is Version 0.21, please test if there are any problem when running a multiplayer game (only tested in singleplayer at this time) older A17 version: NitroGen for Alpha 17 (stable) ---------------- [HOW TO RUN NITROGEN] JAVA: You would need to first install JAVA on your machine. Its a Java App. You can check if you have Java installed and configured by typing java in the console .. something should pop up then The java Runtime can be easily obtained from https://www.java.com/en/download/ INSTALL: -just copy the NitroGen folder anywhere you like. All required files are included in its sub-folders. RUN: -doubleclick the nitrogen.jar file (if JAVA was configured to run it) -OR use the bat file, wich basically just runs: -OR type: java -jar nitrogen.jar into the console (Nitrogen should work basically on Linux too) COPY FILES: copy the generated map folder to your 7DTD GeneratedWorlds folder. If you select preview map you can have a look at the generated gamemap PNG file. -best is to delete a previous folder of the same map name, (especially the dtm_processed.raw file, wich would be loaded instead of dtm.raw) START NEW IN GAME: Go to NEW GAME and browse throug the gameworlds, the generated map should appear then. ----------------- Troubleshooting: #1 there where several issues discussed in this thread, you might find you solution when searching though the posts #2 Can not get it to run, how does that work? -The generator needs Java to be installed, preferably a 64bit version -you can check if Java is installed AND configured by opening a console (cmd in Windows) and entering: java -version this prints out details about Java (it should state 64-bit Server somewhere, so you know it is pointing to a 64 bit installation) #3 Out of memory error: -if you see a out of memory error, you either run a 32 bit Java version, or did not reserve high enough heap memory. You can edit the .bat files to start the generator with more memory (4 Gigabytes should be enough for a normal sized map, defined with the -Xmx4G parameter, increase it as needed) #4 It does not start generating: -check if you extracted everything from the .zip to a folder (can be started, but cannot operate out of the zip) -check if you already have an output folder with generated files, use the option "check folder" to allow overwriting ----------------- [more recent] Post by MelT regarding dedicated servers: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showth...l=1#post996818 Post by zootal regarding dedicated servers: A18 tutorial from the official server admin staff: A hint for hosting very large server maps: NitroGen creates several intermediary outputs during generation: -genHM.png -poiHM.png -previewMap.png They could be deleted before hosting the game, so the clients dont download those images (takes more time than necessary, and looking at the preview might spoil the exploration aspect.)

One of my favorite aspects of the game in recent alphas is how they took the focus off of the player as the center of the universe. You can see a horde and they aren't walking straight at you. Details like this really make you feel part of the world rather than that feeling that the world was created for you. Here is a small clip of Alpha 19 I was allowed to share. It shows a bit of the new music and there is this point where you can see what I'm talking about where you aren't the focus of the world. You might catch sight of one of the new zombies as well..

My semi legit castle:

Here you go pepsi man. https://captiongenerator.com/1844062/A19-is-not-out-yet

This was a fun feature to do and took less than a day: Added AI head tracking to movement or target positions.

This is what I'm testing now which will be in the next build unless I change it again: Changed: All small game (rabbits and chickens) and large game (boars, and deer) spawn every day or night at any time. Small game has a high chance to spawn, large game has a low chance to spawn. Large Predator animals such as bears and dire wolves only spawn at night in the forests. Wolves have a very small chance to spawn in forests during the day Changed: Enemy respawn time is reduced in the wasteland. At night, Zombies will respawn immediately, making the wasteland harder to survive at night

BTW guys, just because the trader doesn't give you a dig quest right away doesn't mean there isn't any viable spots in the area, it is random. The next day there might be dig quests available. Yikes, I haven't seen ANY of that, that looks pretty bad. FYI, RWG will be a strike teams top focus for A20. We're going to give Robert all the support he needs to get it shippable once and for all. Closer quest POIs will be part of that improvement as well as fixing roads and issues like this.

TL-DR: I already expect over half you people to go "Get Gud Scrub" But seeing as Ive been playing this game for THOUSANDS of Hours, you can go F$%k Right off. Ive enjoyed this game since EARLY Alphas and Ive never honestly felt this terrible about the game. Even the alpha 17 update didnt make me feel this terrible about playing a game Ive LOVED. Early Game Play of Alpha 19: Spawns in, does the usual opening missions, scavenges for 20 minutes finding now rare birds feathers to make a buncha arrows. Preps self up to go to war with early zombies with a bow and arrows. Heads out to a near by town. Fights off a few dogs, a couple FERALS on day 1 and even a Cop zombie. Finds a Shot gun Messiah. Breaks in quietly and proceeds to attempt to snipe sleeping zombies with a bow. After the first one took 3 arrows to the head before dying, stops and puts a point into stealth damage. Kills the last few zombies with 2 arrows each to the skull totaling in about 7 zombies, 2 of which were ferals. Now that the building is cleared out.. Starts to hack into the couple pre-Apocalypse crates that are there... only to find a primitive bow.. stone spear.. and blunderbuss.. in.. Both.. uhm.. what? This game takes place in America, land of guns in a cereal box.. why are these pre-apocalypse still sealed boxes containing... Post apocalypse beginner weaponry? Ok so then... looting the gun store is worthless.. Lets go get us some tools.. After a bit of searching, killing a couple hordes and patching myself up, I find a working stiffs. Same thing as the first store. Go in quietly, stealth all 12 zombies in this place, have one or two wake up since they are ferals that can smell the fart I let out when I saw glowing eyes. Heads over to the crates Pre-Apocalypse still sealed crates and cracks them open... only to find 3 stone-axes and two stone-shovels in every single box... So... before the apocalypse happened.. this store ordered tools cheaper than you get made in china? Was Carl in the back of the store just making these by hand cause if he was, these things suck as they are all level 2... Damn Carl youve worked at this store long enough, havnt you figured out how to make a god damned stone tool? Ok so.. Looks like looting is out the window for tools and weaponry.. but I just noticed.. its been maybe 5-7 hours in game and.. well Im STARVING apparently.. at like 70 hunger and thirst.. @%$*#! guess I need to find me a food source. 2 small wandering hordes and a dog bite later.. Finds Shamway, repeats process from other two stores, opens crates.... Well I mean Shamway has always sucked.. No one cares. Ok, so looting ANYTHING in early game sucks now.. Meaning that theres no point in doing ANY Pois, no point in going into cities, no point in going into factories, the early in game seems to now be locked to.. kill zombies or do trader missions... what happen to the go anywhere, build kill and loot anything to survive? What happen to that joy you felt when you got lucky and cracked open that one crate in 20 that had your lv1 steel pickaxe on day 3~4 where you knew you couldnt do anything to make it better, but you no longer had to suffer breaking rocks with a stone tool? I'd rather have low level garbage loot than this primitive tool set. Why are primitive tools even a lootable object? Especially from before everything went to @%$*#!?

Title. Reading the notes for A19 and all of the B's after it: they state they are nerfing alot of perks, and nerfing the ability to find high tier loot like shotguns early on, and have this overly convoluted thing about how they are going to make progress feel "more natural" I'll Tell you one thing that would make progress feel natural, is the "spam crafting" items back, and items levels 1thru 100 that slowly progresses as you use the skill more and more, the skill gets better. (remember athletics? that felt more natural, the more you run the better you are at running) but now with this new system its really lackluster and just annoying. If I search 5 different gun safes in the same building, or in the same day its old and repetitive for them all to have blunderblusses (early on) and literally nothing else save maybe some ammo. Hell, who the heck would even have a blunderbuss in a gunsafe, Blunderbuss is more of the "crafted makeshift weapon" that you craft to help you clear a path to the gun safes which SHOULD have pistols, shotguns, rifles ect. honestly I feel like TFP just enjoys ruining the game more and more, because I dont see the point in scavenging anymore if all im getting is level 1-3 blunderbusses and ammo for guns which are are virtually non existent

Progress on my medieval style house:

Here is my WIP medieval tavern: https://twitter.com/joelhuenink/status/1279130036621074432?s=20

I just wanted to let you guys know that the Streamer Weekend is tentatively scheduled to start June 26th. I just gave that date to the streamers and know that many will begin hyping it to their viewers and then it would get back to here and then you guys would be upset that you had to hear about it from outside sources. So I'm telling you now that Friday June 26th is our hopeful date but it isn't guaranteed. If TFP feels they must delay another week then they will. But that means that Monday June 29th should be a VERY GOOD DAY. (knock on wood)

I will take the blame for sharing my enthusiasm with the fans. Some TFP members agreed a shorter cycle was a great idea in principal so I said that on the forums, but nobody wanted to do the graphics overhaul in a side branch or to deal with merging 3-4 months later so we just did the work and now we are here. Things change so what we intend one month is not the intent the next. Game development isn't flipping burgers, nobody can predict how long something will take. I can predict that 19 will take much less time than 18 did, and 18 took less than 17 so things are getting better. We should be in experimental in June and stable before the summer sale if all goes well but if not, relax, its just a game and there are bigger things to worry about right now with this virus, the economy, etc. We were also reminded how short builds break save games and everyone was having a lot of fun with 18, and larger builds have that "whole new game" feel so there are benefits to it taking some time.

Zombie swim animations are in, synced up with the motion and some bugs fixed. Looking pretty good.

Added underwater fog (darkens with night, worldglobal xml has density, speed and color settings).

Due to changes to sleeper volumes it is recommended to start over. If you do not, you may experience a POI flagged as clear before you cleared all volumes. b170-b173 Changelog: Added Localization updated for destroyed concrete material Setup xml, localization, and icons for Gas Pump Remake Updated localization for Wild West Coffin helper Setup xml and localization for Bleachers Set Destroyed concrete material "gfx graph tex mem" and "gfx graph tex stream" console commands "gfx st reduction" console command "gfx st" b/d/f/r console command abbreviations WoodCross3x1, rustyIronCrossCtr3x1, and scrapIronCross3x1 3,1,1, multiblock variants for towers (solves issues with SI or not falling on collapse) Tppoi window can be opened from ESC menu, also autofocuses search box now HD Office Chair xml, localization, and icon setup. Object pool block entity preloading Bombshelter_01 A19 update. Changed Increased push up motion when player is stuck Increased chance of getting criticals on the 2nd hit Nerfed water cooler loot to drop 1 to 2 pure waters instead of 1 to 4.

Assigned broken concrete texture as default to appropriate concreteDestroyed block faces. Fixed Graph value updating on non repaint events First person weapon brightness values don't match third person Player hands brightness adjustment due to auto exposure fix Back side of both flags have an alpha issue Prefab editor Ctrl modifier shortcuts overlap with other shortcuts "Path node otherHeight bad" warnings by allowing a small overlap RWG only generating 1/4 maps on dedi Tree poking through in vic_03 Coal container no longer has winow frames blocking coal harvest Fastfood_04 is missing rally marker Shoe piles destroy after looting Missing backfaces on blueberry plant

Yes because it was totally natural to run in circles on spikes jumping up and down using bandages while crafting 5000 stone axes. /sarcasm (Though there were enough people that actually did that!) And to be totally fair, at the level where you're getting blunderbusses in safes, is a little bit early for cracking open safes. You guys min/maxing the game and going to the high-prize loot early on instead of attempting to progress naturally is part of the problem here. Early game should be about basic hunting and gathering. Not looting the crap out of POI's.

*** B173 has a different mixer and these seeds won't work with it! *** I'll generate new seeds and update the list, but it does take time. Huh... I'd have to spend a lot of time here to do this. I have about 200 different seeds for alpha 19 experimental, half 4k and half 8k. I have previews from all of them publicly available here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ljjksykyenytm3e/AAAh0mf_CBnXW92eVl5i-EF1a?dl=0 To generate and analyse these seeds I use scripts that are freely available here: https://github.com/dcsobral/seedGen I usually don't leave uncompressed previews in that folder, but I decided to leave my top seeds (4k and 8k) there, for ease of access. All my 8k seeds have 10 traders, all my 4k seeds have 5 traders. To make it easy to figure out what seed you find interesting, I've added some of my analysis to a Google Spreadsheet anyone can look at. You can see the number of prefabs in the map, the number of unique prefabs, and the number of unique prefabs that are tier 4, tier 5, stores, skyscrapers or in my top 7 and top 15 lists. Once you find a seed you like, go to the drop link above, download the zip file, and you'll find a map preview there. Traders are marked in the map previews with pinkish outlines, though you might have to zoom in to spot it. The spreadsheet is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E1abSNz0_rsoDd-3AVp6SzxY-AF7eVjMfVNhIXN3X20/edit?usp=sharing The best size 8192 seeds I've found are: Seed name: SystematicArbutus Screenshot: https://imgur.com/7vzG0iw Pro: top on my "top" criteria Con: Lots of big cities in the desert Seed name: FierceCinerin Screenshot: https://imgur.com/hLbBglL Pro: top unique tier 4 and 5, second best on my "top" criteria Con: one big disconnected city Seed name: TuitionalMonck Screenshot: https://imgur.com/uev7NcS Pro: high on "top" criteria, high on variety, has a Dishong and a Crack a Book skyscraper Con: a couple of small disconnected cities Seed name: HipBastinadoes Screenshot: https://imgur.com/nctbmul Pro: high unique tier 4 and 5 and variety, has a Higashi and a Crack a Book skyscraper Con: low on stores and top criteria (because it's low on stores), too much stuff on wasteland Seed name: AmbiguousCamphene Screenshot: https://imgur.com/Fim8wYs Pro: top on stores and variety Con: low on top 7, and unique tier 4 and 5, west cities disconnected from center and east cities The best size 4096 seeds I've found are: Seed name: PudgyPiggott Screenshot: https://imgur.com/RuZLCXy Pro: top on my "top" criteria, large variety of prefabs Con: disconnected cities, large city on wasteland Seed name: StirringEmbezzlements Screenshot: https://imgur.com/C3dD12i Pro: top unique tier 4 and 5, second best on my "top" criteria Con: disconnected cities, mid-level variety Seed name: IrreversibleConsiderance Screenshot: https://imgur.com/XRqqdgl Pro: high on "top" criteria, has a Crack a Book skyscraper, road connects all cities Con: low on stores, low on variety Seed name: RecoveredAmides Screenshot: https://imgur.com/J8hmPX9 Pro: top in variety, high on tier 4 and 5, huge cities Con: low on "top" criteria, mid-level on stores. disconnected cities

Just today we pushed the quality template out longer, removed guns, armor and tools from the tier one quest rewards, and yesterday we double the amount of quests turned in to advance to the next level. So now you will need to turn in 10 tier 1 quests to advance to tier 2 which is when guns/armor/tools start being offered as rewards. By the time you are getting to that, you should be finding tier 1 tools and weapons and not all primitive.

I had to adjust them for linear lighting. They should be fine. Dark basement:

You will have to make due. We've done a little bit of loot cleanup like removing harvest items from loot. There is no point in finding 3 coal in chemical loot when you can get 1000's in seconds mining. So a bit less useless looting should help a tad bit in the backpack space situation.

Soooo I started testing yesterday. I spawned in the forest and did my tutorial and found my way to the trader, trader Bob. Upon entering the compound I got some nice trader music and interacting with him felt much more polished. I did a couple of dig quests, the dig quests have a nice "shrinking circle" now when you dig that helps you eventually find the target it feels much more polished and enjoyable now. I found the new food and water bars immersive and not distracting at all, and quite helpful. Health seems hard to get now and I was struggling with low health. I am trying an INT build and I'm not used to the stun baton its range had me getting hit quite a lot and it isn't very good against crowds IMO. I know it will be great later when I have junk turrets and perks so it takes less swings to get a charge. The graphics are beautiful. On day 2 I did my 4th quest, a clear the zombies quest and I had only 20-30% health when I started. Not a good idea. I had a pistol I bought from the trader with 10 rounds but that didn't last long but I think I was close to clearing it so I kept going, but the stun baton wasn't doing so well, I was getting hit too much. I switched to the steel battle axe I got as a reward and power attacked and knocked two guys down with one swing it was glorious. It had me thinking a strength build would be a better move lol, but then I got hit again and could not switch to a bandage quick enough and bled out. Overall a much better start than A18 testing had. There is new combat and behaviors, guys stumbling and falling over fences, and when they break a door they stumble or fall, its very cool. This game has an intensity to it that is amazing. I've decided I will start a base when I get my stuff back. I already bought the forge perk so I can get some tools going and get a mine started at least. It feels more challenging regarding food. Vending machines had very little food and mostly candy, so I'm doing dig quests to keep fed, but my low health situation keeps me from storing any surplus I'm eating everything to keep my health up. I haven't got any criticals other than infection. I had to take the herbal antibiotics as a quest reward to get rid of infection, and passed up on a q2 steel club which sucked. No honey was found yet either.

Yeah, i don't think the problem is that bad. Afterall, it still does require the player their most valuable resource....time. As a side note... Just wanted to share one of my latest creations using the in-game prefab editor and many of the new blocks introduced in A19. It is an alternate trader Bob POI themed best for the wasteland. I took some inspiration from one of your concept art drawings. Let me know what you think. I will be putting it up for download hopefully today/tomorrow on Nexus.

I incredibly strongly disagree with this and believe it would even be game ruining. If both loot and all zombies scale in health and damage, you'll end up with a very samey feeling game and it would ruin the fun of seeing yourself get stronger. More special zombie variants as game stage goes up are welcome but scaling all zombies and loot at the same time would be very damaging to fun.

Note: There is a chance that character progression will be reset, if you continue a savegame from b163, due to a change. As always we recommend starting over with a new savegame during experimental.. Changelog for b164-b169 Added Option to change size of FPS display Old Wild West Coffins Tough Guy Sunglasses that boost your fortitude.

Enemy respawn time is reduced in the wasteland. At night, Zombies will respawn immediately, making the wasteland harder to survive at night Shotgun damage and auto shotgun rate of fire reduced. Added floats so spawning of zombies and predators are less predictable. Reduced stamina cost on iron harvesting tools Bandolier mod increases reload speed by 15% Removed candy tins, hub caps and air filter items from the game. Land mines no longer use candy tins, hub caps or air filters in their recipes. Land mines now need duct tape to craft. Candy tin mine can now be crafted in a backpack. Hub cap mine uses a nail instead of a spring Deprecated candy tins and other redundant items Cooking pot mine is also crafted from basic resources Normal entities load their prefabs and meshes on demand instead of during world load Reduced distance to backpack after death if no respawn point is set Block entities to load on demand using the object pool The object pool large pools to active pools which will fully remove pool objects and non active prefabs over time Added various scales to zombies so they are different heights Texture streaming to only use the main camera Store_autoparts_01 updated to commercial standards.

I never once questioned the best rpgs of all time when looting. I diablo I got what I got. Same in Skyrim, Fallout, etc. I opened up a loot container and got something a little better and I was happy about it. You just aren't used to it. Once we get pipe guns and a bit more supplies to craft your own things it might feel less repetitive which I think is the larger problem. We will have game staged increases in the harder biomes you can go there to get non primitive loot early game but it will be a lot harder.

Changed: Blade trap hits don't prime the demolition zombie. Darts apply their damage directly, so they were fine.

Note: some may have bad quality! its not the artist fault. its my fault! AND THIS IS LONG! SO HOLD ON TO YOUR britches this is my fav Bandits/ White river! More! shelf stuff! LOL CORONA WIPES! some tools and weapons! i love this! the rest i can't post for some reason!

I wish it was just knuckle rubs back in the day... add swirlies, farts on the head, wrestling dummy, hurts donuts and bb gun victim to my resume. Its all good though todays cry baby generation could use some big brotherly love IMO.

The reason random puking wasn't well received was because of how it was implemented, not that it existed. Like a lot of TFP things (*cough*LBD*cough*) the implementation gets screwed up and they just scrap the entire thing rather than making it better. What if food poisoning was done like infection? You got sicker and sicker *until* you puked? What if it occurred on things that made sense for you to get sick on, instead of things that didn't make sense? What if creating a thousand stone axes didn't give you the ability to make concrete, but instead only made you really good (at a cap) at making stone axes? See? Things can be done better, without scrapping it entirely. 😃

They mostly come out at night... (V2.50.1) This is a mod I originally created to fix a few "issues" myself, my wife and some friends felt the game had. Turns out I really enjoy modding so I've expanded on it quite a bit. The intent is to drag out the early game, so it will take you longer than usual to get to Iron and Steel. I've also tried to inject a little realism by locking away quite a few recipes behind perks, since most normal folks wouldn't know how to do/make those things. Also, I started playing in Alpha 8, so I wanted to try and bring back a few things from that era. Hub city, sharp rocks and sticks are pretty good examples, and I want to try and incorporate more features from that era of gameplay. I will also be trying to add in new zombies/enemies to make the "end game" more difficult. Features. 8 Classes to choose from, with 6 quests each! 96 slot backpack! 12 slot crafting queue! Custom UI! Food/Water bars next to the hotbar. Increased zombie spawn/respawn rate! Night time is now dangerous. The ferals come out to play... Zombie Behemoth (male and female) added! Scrap Iron Tools added. Iron requires level 15. Titanium added! Can be found as trophies, underground and above ground. Used to make tools, weapons and blocks. Forge Ahead & Leather Tanning books are back! (can also be purchased as perks) Wrench is now a perk and a schematic, but crafted and repaired with Iron. All common books added as perks, so you have the choice of finding the book or spending points. Action skills are back! Skill books added for all 100 level skills. Generic skill point book added so you have ways to get skill points. Skill notes! Find a recipe you already have? Scrap it into a skill note and craft that into something more useful. Extra crops! Grow apple, orange banana and coconut trees, plus wheat, carrots and tomatos! More food! Way too much to list, but bread is now an option. So are sunday roast dinners. YUM! Animal Coops and Snares from Valmod added. Clay bowls are back, and used for more than just pretty plants! Craftable Small Engines and Lead Batteries! Several new guns! Like the P225 Pistol, AR-15 Automatic Rifle, Winchester Rifle and Combat Shotgun. Gun crafting! Gun parts are back and require the rare, find-only Lathe to be crafted. Arrows can now use cloth fragments instead of feathers. Sticks and Sharp Stones have also made a return! Tree sap is now a thing! Try left-clicking on non-dead trees with jars or bowls... Sterile Bandage! New healing item to fill the void between normal Bandages and First Aid Bandages. Working sinks and ovens! Both types craftable, so pick whichever matches your kitchen. 5 new workstations. The Advanced Forge (required to smelt steel, but no fuel needed!), the Mortar and Pestle and two workbenches! There is also the rare, loot-only, Lathe! Stone hammer added. Counts as a construction tool. Used only for repairing and upgrading. Lockpicks added! Now you can lockpick all safes and most doors. Steel crossbow added that takes steel, exploding and titanium bolts. Both crossbows can be scoped. Combat axe added. There's also a titanium version. Trader's are no longer protected! Take care of your local business! Guards added to the trader, with a Guard Captain NPC! Talk to them to buy quest starters, which can earn you skill notes! (Single player only due to server bugs) Larger player-crafted storage (kitchen cabinets, lockable!). Time REMOVED from under the compass and on the map. Added to the trader window (under restock time). Junction box added for invisible wires. Unlocked via electricity perk. Bomber zombies added! These buggers are designed to tear your base to bits. You have been warned! 7 Day hordes re-done (less game stages so difficulty should ramp up faster and ferals appear sooner). Writing Desk, Ink and Quill available! Used together, these halve the cost of creating skill books and class papers. Grass spawns reduced for better performance/easier to see things. Traders now have more basic materials for building. Localization HEAVILY edited to show where items are crafted, including if they can be made in multiple workstations (one will have a reduced resource cost) and what tools may be needed. Compo pack added! Hornet from A15 and earlier is back, with it's original sounds and model! Keep an eye out for them in forest biomes. Trader Caitlin has arrived! She has her own POI, her own voice, lives in the wasteland and carries the most powerful items.

Because they have about 20% more killing power than a bb gun. Pipe guns that use all the current ammos so you can specialize right away. Pipe rifle (762) pipe shotgun (shotgun ammo), Pipe machinegun (762), Pipe pistol (9mm), Pipe baton (stamina), and possibly pipe junk gun (junk ammo) and possibly a full pass of junk guns, we'll see how it all fits together for the intellect guy.

Load order, current VRAM use and then where the OS decided to put textures would make it somewhat random what is in VRAM vs system RAM. ---- Hopefully the disappearing backpack bug is now fixed. That was not easy to track down. There was about a 5% chance, depending on when random chunk saves happen, that a newly dropped item would be lost when you teleported away, because its chunk might not save.

I like this because it is pretty much the same for sp and mp. Everyone can hunt every day and not have these huge droughts of no meat in cleared areas. I went with a high chance for small game, low chance for big game, spawning any time. every day. For predators, they spawn only at night in the starter biomes, every 4 days like zombies. (still tweaking things, but I think this is going to be what we do for the next patch)

And some of us do play, record, stream and promote 7 days to die long after the streamer event ends. Some of us have been promoting and supporting since it was in kickstarter. Some of us don't expect a paycheck from TFP for promoting it, we just enjoy the game. Maybe not all of us. But I can speak for myself and several other people in the streaming group that we are a part of it, because we love it and play it year-round.

Testing is going really well. It feels solid like 18 but looks pretty. I like the new ISS. Eating and drinking feel good you don't get any penalties until 50% so you don't really feel the need to over eat anymore. Health and water bars are immersive. Combat is cool, the stumbling zombies never gets old. I survived day 7 no problem with a meager 7x7 but I did have two rows of concrete but they didn't get past my traps or grenades. I haven't died yet so the GS was about 30, so there were a fair amount of zombies. I'm doing an INT build. The baton is fine. I used a junk sledge quite a bit the first week but now I have a Q5 AK so I don't bother with it so much. INT is pretty easy. Str is my secondary attribute so I can mine and need some sex rex for melee. The new cheaper auxiliary perks are nice and I've been dabbling in more than I normally would. I crafted a bicycle but then my stamina was so lame I ended up getting a rank of cardio. Food is a struggle the first week and when your t1 dig quests are gone you end up eating everything you can find, but the meat stockpiles up. I caved in and bought master chef so I could make teas and boil meat. I found a spaghetti recipe I can't wait to craft, 0% chance for food poisoning.

Of course you would fail, you just self proclaimed that you would so you would self fulfill that prophecy. And then you go on to explain how you have a lack of patience. What you really mean is I'm lazy af and I give up easily. In order to accomplish anything in life, you will first need self belief, and then you will need to be patient. Sounds hard, but I assure you that with a constant effort made on your part it can become much more rewarding than pretending to be an idea man when all you do is regurgitate commonly posted ideas. You are better than that. You have passion but you shoot it down without even trying. Make a choice, and do something with your time here and do it well. So what if the first 5000 steps suck eventually you'll get better and pretty soon people will praise you. I am a nobody from nowhere, but I turned my passion into a multi million dollar a year business. But I always had self belief, because mom told me so. Even if it was a lie, it got me started and that momentum is very powerful once you harness it and decide to do better than yesterday. So get off your ass and make something of your life. Believe it or not you will blink an eye and be 30, and then 40, and then wonder why you didn't get where you wanted to be if you don't apply yourself. If you don't make a choice its still a choice. You'll be flipping burgers and not getting any respect, not be happy etc. So its better to try to become something and fail, than to do nothing and succeed. Use your passion to make mods, or become a good artist, etc. You like attention and working on mods is a great way to get some and build your skills up.

I never thought I would ever do this ... but: I strongly advise against using CPM! As for why: I haven't checked in detail, but while I don't think it actually violates any license basing your whole work on a lot of other open source code and then saying "you may not even look at mine" (not even talking about reusing / modifying here) is an ass move The code is highly based on other peoples work. So far I know of at least Coppi's mod and mine, parts of it just copied 100%. Not even mentioning it. It's closed source and furthermore even obfuscated binary negatively impacting performance even worse it makes it hard to verify what it is doing. Remember that any code you load into your game can do anything on the system within the limits of the user permissions the game runs on even obfuscated all third party code it heavily relies on (like the whole LiteDB, Harmony, Coppi's and my code) [*]It's not an encouraging behaviour for a modding *community* As I said, (probably) nothing "illegal", just something that I don't like to see happening in our community and something I would be very worried about as a server admin.

I respect your opinion but there just isn't any reason to do polls, we are confident with our designs as you guys don't have enough information to think, and don't know the full picture and each version is always missing critical ingredients to the recipe so while you might hate or dislike a current thing, it often is just an interim step towards the bigger picture which we are sure will be better received. It would be like casting a vote without knowing anything about the candidates. For all you know we are focus testing the engineer zombies for a build, and that will be used for bandit raids later and zeds will have dumb ai. The plan is that special infected might not even be zombies, but heavily radiated humans so radiated zombies do not want to eat them. Noone knows for sure but they are violent psychopaths that have some form of intelligence yet. A lot of people hated alpha 17, it wasn't that bad, it was just missing proper books and schematics. Fundamentally 18 is the same, but without that one hook 17 was not liked. Obviously too many zombies use the engineer ai right now, but as we get closer to gold it will all feel better. Like with 17 I was super excited about the capabilities. To me you hand me a paint brush and a canvas I'm having a blast, where a lot of people are too short sighted to see what isn't right in front of them. I saw potential and turned it into a masterpiece that has outsold every other version of the game, just like I see the AI as nothing but pure potential right now. So that might be the shocking difference, I know where we're going with all this cool tech, you judge it as it is. Just like our first new version of rwg... just wait. We now have full random biomes, no duplicate pois in the same area, and adjustable biome percentage so you could roll a map with 90% forest if you wanted. I'm not saying that feature is available to users, I'm saying the tech exists now. I get it though, for all you know the AI is done. The last of the old AI you liked was like 16 alphas. It was the most polished version of some rudimentary stuff with 16 iterations. You've only seen 2 iterations of faatal AI, so be patient.

Junk drone revealed! https://twitter.com/7DaystoDie/statu...096267264?s=20

Not exaggerating. That is exactly what I did in that POI, which was a typical house. Closets? Stabbed with knife to break, then stab zombie. Ceilings? Don't remember any up there in that POI, but would shoot with bow. If a trap happened and they heard/saw you or sleepers jumped out of the wall or whatever, then you deal with it. No one said you could play the game 100% stealth. If you don't like stealth, then don't put points in it. Legitimate? What does that even mean? We should be playing games for fun. "Strength is the best, so if you don't play that you are dumb.....". I'll play the game however I think is fun, not based on some min/maxer nightmare.
