    Well Zombie Bears can spawn in the forest, just 2 Z Bears and 2 Z Dogs tried to ambush me as I was getting 2 bambies that were taunting me at 2am, was day 46, 92 lootstage.

    That would be due to a wandering horde, and not because of natural biome spawns. I dont think wandering hordes spawns are restricted by biome

    so I have a question about chunk reset..I have the setting on and I put a landclaim block down by my hordebase and thought I had activated it and my hordebase was protected, but I come  back there 10 days or so later and my hordebase is entirely gone and the chunk has reset. 

    I thought you could have up to three active land claims blocks so why did this chunk reset?

    If you make a new game and place down 3 LCBs, do they all show up active or are 2 broken?

    There was a bug with LCBs where some people would have to hit the "Defaults" button on the new game screen (don't have to actually create the game, just hitting the button will do) and it would change the LCB setting from 1 to 3. And if you go back into your other save game it *should* let you have more than 1 active LCB

  3. If you have admin rights, you can enable DM and hit f8 twice, they added something now that lists the last 10 heat events with coordinates of the source, hopefully that can help you narrow down what exactly is causing all those screamers

    The names might not be right though, as I noticed dew collectors and workstations are considered "campfires"

    the "scream" is something she does when she sees you and isn't actually what summons zombies, it's the "I am a scout and I saw a player" event that actually summons zombies. 

    It feels like there's a big misconception then, because I'll often come across info or people saying that the scream is what triggers the spawns.

    Even the wiki says "Effects  Summons zombie hordes with her screams"

    what mods could go on bike?

    spokies - 100% chance to aggro all nearby zombies and animals

    flag - +100% to visibility (ie 0% sneak)

    ooga ooga horn - 10% chance nearby zombies laugh so much their head falls off

    crate - extra storage, that would be nice

     

    actually...

    electric motor assist - x% less stamina for pedaling

    bmx tyres - x% less damage

    gear array - x% more speed

    that thing against the bike wheel that powers a light - cant remember its name...

     

    quite a few it turns out

    A mod that expands the bicycle capacity like a basket would be nice 🙂

    LCB's have done nothing in the past (as far as I know) and bedrolls have been used up to A16 when sleepervolumes came and pretty much ignored bedrolls.
    Since A16 We have not used POI's to build bases in due to this, But for some reason (and I can't for the live of me remember from where) I think I read a devpost or something saying that LCB's should do that task now. (heck I could've dreamt it for as far as I know)

     

    But. I done some testing in A21 with LCB's
    After clearing out a Vanity tower I put down a LCB in the middle of it at (level 5 i think?), covering it all in the bounding box, (except the lower floors)
    We left that town for a couple of weeks and returned to the tower. Loot had respawned, but no zombies had respawned inside (Except one soldier which might be a bug ?)

     

    This is why I'm so curious about the status of LCB's. On other POI-bases we tried building there's both a LCB and several bedrolls, but still occasionally a zombie spawns inside the area.

    There is a bug right now where LCB/bed rolls dont prevent zombie respawns when they are supposed to

    Well I need to try and reproduce what happened then, because I'm 99% certain that I had a bedroll down in the base that got reset, but thank you for the reply.

    Did you perhaps have another bedroll placed somewhere? I wonder if only your most recent bedroll counts

    edit edit: the folder (appdata/locallow/7DaysToDie) that should have player logs in it is still also completely empty. It's like it just won't generate them 😕

    What about the AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\logs folder? Anything in that one now that you ran the game via the launcher?

    There could be a bug with POI "Johnson's Warehouses" (the one with the flaming ramp):

     

    I cleaned and looted the POI and switched off the fires at the ramp.

     

    But when I came back some days later to get the remaining clay / cubblestone blocks etc. the flames where active again but I couldn't use the valve another time.

    Btw. loot respawn / junk reset is disabled.

    Pretty sure that's a bug, you can put in a bug report using the red banner at the top. Or if you would rather someone else do that, I can submit one instead. I was able to get the same behavior by turning off the switch, leaving the building, relogging, and going back into the building.

    I've seen that elixir. It is still a bit pricey for me but nice to know down the road when dukes are not an issue I can respec.

    One thing I like to do to get easy dukes, is repair anything before selling them back to the trader (value decreases as durability decreases). Also if you have a bunch of mods you don't use and want to sell to the trader, it's worth a lot more to put the mod(s) on the items you're selling than to sell the mod separately. I always look for the most expensive equipment/tool/weapon that I'm about to sell and put as many useless mods that I have on them to increase it's value.

  11. Regarding Physician perk, I don't see much use in it if you aren't also planning on perking into stun batons. While it's nice that you can instantly cure sprains or heal broken limbs faster, you can also negate those debuffs with steroids. At some point you'll already have a good stockpile of medicine that finding plaster casts/steroids is not a problem.

     

    Oh and I'm not sure if it was mentioned in your other thread, there is an item you can buy from the trader called the forgetting elixir that allows you to reset and redistribute the points. I think it's like 6k dukes? So if you find that there are some points you put into for skills that you no longer use mid/late game, you can always drink that and use those points elsewhere. (For example I'll usually perk into melee weapons early on but as I start getting good guns and decent ammo, I'll reset and put those points somewhere else)

     

    Regarding perks, I personally like explosives when working with the perception tree, mainly for blood moons because of the AOE benefits. I usually start with pipe bombs/molotovs and save explosive arrows or bolts for cops and eventually really late game I move onto grenade launcher (though grenade launcher ammo is pretty expensive to make so I only save those for demolishers)

    Ah, I misread that.  :)

     

    Even so, I think whatever role(s) a person plays in development should be credited.  So the original QA credit should still be there, imo.

    There is the "ex-pimps" section of the credits to reflect past staff already (with their previous roles listed)

     

    Also Lucky must be a very good QA tester 😊

    I'm not even sure what to do at this point so maybe someone else has had this problem and can help with figuring it out. If the game generated a log file I'd put it here but the folder is completely empty. : /

    When they are on the main menu and hit F1 there should be a button "Open Logs Folder" to open the folder location of the logs -- is that location empty?

    Only other place I could think to try, is there a player.log file under AppData\LocalLow\The Fun Pimps\7 Days To Die? (Assuming you're on windows)

    So what happened for me the first time playing b15 (with an old save) was still no airdrop first time I hit 12:00 but then got an airdrop at 19:00 that day and then back to the normal 12:00 daily airdrops after that

    Been playing on a dedi server in the latest experimental and have had air drops -- still at 12:00 every time. Sometimes two air drops at once (I think because there are a lot of players on)

    Okay, new problem:

    I can't place it horizontally, only vertically.
    Pressing and holding "R" doesn't bring up the menu.

    Oh sorry looks like the one I gave you was the wrong one.

    Try the "Chain Link Fence POI Variant Helper"

    o5lMfVF.jpg

    Then go to the shapes menu of that by holding R and select "Chain Link Bottom Plain POI". That one should be rotate-able

  16. I've found that it works, but takes a lot of water buckets. So I'm assuming if your pool is very large, it may take many many many more buckets.

    3x5 pool (not including border), took me 4 buckets to completely fill the first level, then 15 more for the second level. I'm guessing since it's 15 and my pool is 3x5, it's 1 bucket for each block it needs to fill when going past the first level

    Police cars do not spawn zombies every time.  It is random.

    One exception I have found for this so far is if you are using timed charges to set off alarm, then it never spawns zombies. I had logged a bug for it before and they said it was intentional

    Power attack the Police car twice with wrench,  Then hit with the pick axe.  Alarm will sound but no zombie spawn.  Hit once more and loot.  You're welcome

    Am I doing it right? 🤔They still spawn for me. Power attack 2x with wrench, then normal attack with pickaxe until it broke

    Is there currently a bug with air drops? Do they drop normally for you? Is there a bug where they are silent? I do not have any game sounds muted or any mods installed. They should be dropping normally. (There's always a chance I have just unintentionally ignored them but I've set days to last too long and now it's gonna be a while till we get to day 9...)

    Air drops are bugged in experimental A21.1 right now and do not spawn at all.

    How do I Favorite a given block shape?

    When you're in the shapes menu, click on the shape you want then press "S" and a star should show up on the top left
