I don´t know anything about it in detail, but you can handcraft maps in 7 days to die. Like Cpt. Krunch maps for example. Question is if all the work that is propably needed is worth it.

SLI is clearly dead for gaming. None of the 40 Series cards from Nvidia has the NV-Link anymore. You literally can´t connect them anymore. If you want more than one GPU you gotta go A100, Quadro and such. But that does cost a ton.

Ahh yeah, i remember very well. Only knew that night time is bad. So i desperatly tried to build a simple hut before nightfall. As i had no clue how to play i ofc failed badly. I didn´t even think about the option to use a POI back then. So i restarted like 2 or 3 times, still couldn´t finish even a small base during day one, so i simply dug a small hole and sealed it with wood and hoped for the best not even knowing i could have been leveling my crafting skills all night long.

I have had sleepers waking up when i missed the shot with the bow/crossbow, not too often but it happened. Also this would need a major rework of the sleeper mechanic. If you are outside of their radius, you can let mines explode, use a grenade and they won´t wake up 10m away from you if you aren´t in their radius. But an arrow should wake them up? That would make the whole sleeper mechanic look even more riddiculous then now.

A Z790 Motherboard is only usefull if you are going to do overclocking. Wich you can´t with a non "K" CPU. Either get a 13700K or go for a cheaper motherboard if you don´t wanna overclock. I am guessing H670 would be enough for non overclocking but i am not fully up to date with 13th Gen yet, so research is needed if you deceide for another motherboard. 64GB or RAM is overkill for a gaming PC. Unless you gonna do some video editing aswell i think 32GB would be more than enough for quite a while. For the PSU i would suggest to take a look on seasonic focus. 12 years of warranty. Well known brand that basically never dissapointed afaik.

@Gamida If we were talking about anything else than sprint, simply rebinding the key would be the easy solution. Also putting this on Q means i can´t press sprint and left at the same time without an akward position of the finger. But as literally every game uses shift for that, it would be a real pain to retrain that every time i come back to the game and every time i switch to another game. And no, because of one game i don´t wanna have to rebind every other game. I really don´t see the big deal of adding this as an option. No need to make this a default.

@Riamus Auto run doesn´t mean unlimited stamina. You wil still have to manage that. Not getting a bicycle and having auto run wouldn´t change how fast you can move from A to B. For me it´s purely because having to press shift all the time is highly uncomfortable and even painfull at times when having to fly or drive a long distance.

Yes, that´s what i meant. It´s the W key. You walk with W it´s the default movement. And to my knowledge the same key can´t have two functions. Also having anything else than shift as run button get´s confusing as it is a standard for pretty much every game. It´s a pain in the ass to retrain your muscle memory for one single game. @bobrpggamer Yeah it´s mainly the gyro, but also the other vehicles, minibike beeing the worst of those as it is the slowest wich makes it easy to avoid obstacles so you don´t get a break from pressing shift.

Joining in on hordenight on a public server near to a hordebase. Yeah i could have looked at the timer. I forgot. Other than that, it was propably with KingGen maps where you had the option to get a spawnpoint on random roofs. There were some nasty roofs to spawn on. In SP Vanilla i can´t recally any tbh.

Walking key? What? You mean W? What? And yes we need this. Unless T5 POI´s will finally be more present and we don´t have to travel across the whole map if we want to do different types of T5´s. But even then it would be nice to have without having to rely on a 3rd party software. We all aren´t getting any younger and espceially this game has a high percentage of older players.

I am sorry, i have no experience in making mods myself, only using them. There is mods that already have coloured blocks. Try the mod section in this forum, maybe someone can help you with making your own coloured blocks. @meganoth a few not worn out crappy looking colours sure wouldn´t hurt. That would be a very welcome addition. People like to build. A lot. And even beeing in a apocalyptic scenario, there is absolutly no reason what so ever why we wouldn´t be able to make good looking colour when we can craft weapons and vehicles.

I remember someone saying no, because too many different textures in blocks would cause lag. Wich is a really farfetched excuse tbh. For most people 64 zombies cause huge lag and yet we can choose that option. Also mods. They can cause huge lag and some of them do. Yet we can mod the game. I´d rather believe the sxplanation that the Huelnik brothers love the old, washed out apocalypse loook so much they don´t want to change that. Wich still doesn´t explain why they wont allow us to mod the colours and make it hardcoded. There is still ways around this, you can mod in blocks with a fixed colour/texture, can´t be changed after placing them though.

I have tried all melee weapons for at least 50 hours each on survivalist difficulty. Spears aren´t any good compared to the others except the baton. I rather have a bone knife than an iron spear, the bleeding allows me to kill groups of Z´s faster than with a spear. Most OP melee is the club, especially if you use a knife to get bleeding on them before you use the club. That combo is really deadly. The really high droprate of the spearbooks is a bit strange tbh. Once i got all of them on day 2 and i think there was no A20 playtrough were it took longer than 4 or 5 days to get them. Maybe they wanted to promote the spear with increasing the droprate of the books. But i am eager to try the spear in A21 where the power attack isn´t throwing it anymore. With a bit of a buff for the damage that might be a game changer for the spear.

I remember forges and workbenches doing this on dedicated servers in A18 but not before, at least not for us. Didn´t happen again after A19 dropped. Not sure about crafting in the inventory, i usually don´t have anything in queue when leaving the game.

Yeah i know. Also Derelicts is looking very promising. And to top it off, Borderlands 3 is 20€ with all DLC´s right now. We couldn´t resist that one. It´s gonna be a busy gaming year.

The compopack has several really big malls.

It´s only a week until Sons of the forest releases, so i don´t mind that A21 still isn´t anywhere near releasing. No dev streams yet, so i guess it´s another 2 months at least.

Permadeath, not using traders at all, no sneak kills and sometimes not only building in the wasteland, but having a wasteland only map. Edit: Also not using POI´s as a base at all. Playing Darkness Falls with 300% XP is so far the most challenging. If you never played DF, it´s because you simply can´t keep up with your gamestage getting the really nasty enemies way too fast. Doesn´t matter that you have a ton of levels, you are simply too slow to take all the advantages that come with the levels. If you are really crazy add in 2x spawn. In MP we usually still play 75% XP so the gamestage doesn´t mess with us too much in early game.

Well actually it´s me who goes for the demoliton skill, so if a demo shows up, someone shouts "Demo incoming" all stop to shoot and i go contact grenade followed by a frag rocket. Frag rockets have a low block damage, never use the normal HE rocket for this. The grenades don´t have a high blockdamage aswell.

Huh? A contact grenade and one shot from the rocketlauncher with a frag rocket (On Survivalist difficulty with 3 points in demolition experts and using atom junkies) and they are history. Imo the fastest way to get rid of them. Since we do that we hardly ever have one exploding,

Will there be any change to the limited options for trader quests? Aka getting the same locations over and over again even when there is a ton more options for the same tier?

@Roland It´s ok to link to key shops? Legal and reputable ofc.

I know what you mean, i get like 40FPS in the cities wich shouldn´t be a problem at all. It´s kind of a weird lag issue, feels like walking trough kinda liquid jelly with tiny stutters. Really hope this get´s fixed for good.

Remember the dog hordes. It was like, oh day 5 it´s 12:00, better look out for a elevated position to be at 14:00. Pretty sure the options are either from 2013 pre steam, the first steam version or a mod as i am sure i have never seen this before. I also remember, mini map, zombies beeing faster in the dark no matter wich time of the day (aka in dark rooms and in the shadow) and grid crafting. And what i really, really miss is when temperature had an actual impact on you and wasn´t just an annoying icon on the screen.

It´s the glass blocks. Nothing you can do about. Should be fixed in A21. This might help, didn´t use it myself so far though: https://www.nexusmods.com/7daystodie/mods/2397
