Is there a word limit?
Hello all!
I’ve been playing 7dtd for about 3 years now and have accumulated a collection of ideas for the game in general and improvements for areas where I think it is lacking, as supported by my anecdotal evidence.
For clarity, I love playing this game with friends and most of my ~400 hours have been spent playing in a group of 4~6 people. So pretty much all of my observations are from the multiplayer perspective, as opposed to solo runs. This is a rough breakdown of how the game has flowed in my group for most of our runs.
Days 1-7: Find first trader, take over nearby poi, loot locally & run quests until at least tier 2/bike reward.
Days 8-14: Continue quests, bike around until someone finds a city and a decent base location.
Days 15-28: Same as previous. If group can’t decide on base location or hasn’t finished prepping the area, we can get through the two blood moons by chilling on top of a mid-range poi, like a motel, shooting range, church, etc.
Days 29-35: Commit to base building, group probably has minibikes too, so any need to move storage is fairly easy. Accumulated supplies probably have enough for full cobble base, if not immediate concrete.
Days 36-49: Remaining necessary upgrades to base, working towards motorcycles/cars, maxing out local Trader, tackling whatever high-tier poi hasn’t been looted yet.
Up to Day 56: Probably last blood moon anyone cares to play – the only remaining “goals” are things like jeeps for all, full steel base, gas tools for all, etc.
As it is, concrete tier & motorcycles is, imo, the “end game” of the game as it stands. I would like to see this expanded, or at the very least adjusted in a way that incentivizes working towards the remaining 10% of the game, like steel, gas-powered tools, jeep, gyrocopter, etc. And so, here are my ideas that could help with that.
Need for early-game cover and improvements to getting wet:
On that note, mountains and the wilderness in general could use some moar love, so here are some of my POI (and quest) ideas (though some can be placed in cities/towns just as well):
Regarding zombies… I’m definitely looking forward to their visual variants! It was getting a bit boring know exactly who’s behind a crate if you saw a blue sleeve or an orange pant leg.
I’m still brainstorming ideas for “special” zombies, but here’s what I came up with:
Speaking of animals...
Regarding deco items:
My general decorative ideas are:

I'll post as a reply if I think of more stuff.
This was like 6 pages in Word, haha.
