4.3.1 Error Warning After the latest update 4.3.1 there is a major bug that will wipe your quest log. If you have completed or are on the Tailor Station quest in the armor line, this update will completely wipe your quest log, including treasure maps. You will not lose rewards but your log will be reset. If you have NOT completed the tailor station quest then you will not see this bug. This is due to a change in glue requirements for one step of the armor quest. if you have not gone past the place tailor station step then you can update with no issues. if have already placed the station in that questline the log will reset. its the next quest that has the issue in armor you can give yourself quests by using "givequest quest_BasicSurvival2" in the console by pressing f1. you can find the quest names by going into quests.xml and using the quest id in the command console For custom quests you may have to use all lowercase letters, i think there is a bug. so instead of quest_WeaponBows09 you would try quest_weaponbows09 Obviously this is not what I intended with this patch. No words can explain how disappointed I am that this has happened. My team is pretty beat up over this, but this is 100 percent on me. I should have known better. When updating please take into account this huge bug. Fixing it at this point could result in more damage done. If you are on the armor quest consider this patch a wipe. It was never the intention. I have ceased any work on the mod until 17. I will not change any more or update any more files. Again I apologize for this ridiculous error on my part.

Just to answer some of your concerns 1. The whole purpose of Ravenhearst is to make the game longer. There are plenty of mods and vanilla to play for you quick fix. We intended the game to last as long as possible so the content could be devoured and experienced in full. Longer worlds are also great for server population. As for stations being pickable, just like in vanilla you need a land claim block. I'm not sure why this is an issue for you when we are simply copying vanilla mechanics. 2. You must never have played pre A13 when all of that was changed and removed. There are quite a few who enjoy complexity in crafting and we were trying to return it to the glory days of requiring much more than a single recipe or item to do it all. This probably will not change as I feel the game was geared more towards survival and TRUE crafting back pre A13. 3. Zombies that you find tanky on Day one are one shots on day 20 plus. It's supposed to be very challenging when you first spawn in but that challenge does not last forever and with the weapon classes most zeds can be killed with 2-3 skilled headshots. Remember there is way more at play here than just the gun or the bow. You have to purchase skills to be better. In vanilla a lot of those skills are just happy decap bonuses. In RH they MEAN something and that was the intention of how we designed it. 4. Again complexity in crafting and repairing. It doesn't make sense you JUST need iron to repair a gun or a crossbow. Its silly and it dumbs down the game. This falls in line with complexity. Also you keep calling it a slog. The mid is certainly not for everyone. 5. The very first things you asked to remove are two of our more popular additions. This just comes down to what you feel is worth your time. Again complexity of recipes is a big thing for us and always has been. Removing a handful of extras most certainly won't fix the Ui lag to any degree you will notice while playing. 6. That was an addition to keep players on their toes and also to add real danger to the world from being hit by zombies. I went to day 2 without getting any kind of dirty because I was very careful not to get hit by a zombie. There are so many POIs with water in them, not to mention the caves you find in the world that have water in them. If you are quite careful as you play you can avoid filling your dirty meter until you find a water POI. We made sure every town and city had some water pois in some form or fashion. I hope you didn't take my answers as dismissive but I really feel like the intentions of what we are trying to accomplish needed to be pointed out. The great thing about having so many talented modders is if one mod doesnt work for you there are so many others with varying degrees of difficulty to try out. Hopefully in the future into A17 we can appeal more to you.

Traders cant die. They Are protected. The buildings arent and zombies can get inside but a trader won't die to them. What you are seeing is Khaines Destroyed Trader. There's a chance for a working trader and Destroyed Trader. It's just bad RNG as working traders are slightly more likely in cities.

We are proud to announce our final version of Ravenhearst for A16 Patch 4.3. There are a lot of changes and additions so read up below and head to our Discord for install instructions, guides and much more.

Unfortunately that is what headshots will do to them. As for the other assets we wanted to move away from using anyone elses work and use our own. I am looking into purchasing some of those terrors for our mod myself though, but that change will most likely occur in 17 For those who wish to continue 4.1 and 4.2 Games and Saves I would start making backup copies of any of your 4.1 or 4.2 worlds in prep for release. The links in the launcher WILL be changing and may force a reinstall for those versions. Saves wont be touched as 4.3 will be on a new branch but previous versions will be moved to new links for archiving. This is the first and only warning for this change.

Like the Pimps I will use the dreaded "It is done when it's done". We have had a very rough few months so I'm not going to put any pressures on myself or my team. We ARE working daily on it. This is all a bonus since Pimps needed to delay 17 a bit and we want to try to keep players a bit busy and distracted while we all wait. Im going to echo was Sinda said. Im going to strongly recommend joining our Discord. It's an easier, faster and more direct way of communicating with us in real time, there is always someone there to help and previews are always shown there. I am there mostly all day or night. https://discord.gg/YBHD9f3

Traders can not be killed only the buildings. What you are finding is Hive traders that were builts to be like that. Like in Darkness Falls. Ravenhearst is about to get a patch that will make some things a bit easier, but also some things more hardcore. It is intended to be run by players looking for challenges and for server play both. It can be played SP and enjoyed. That said we have a very large fanbase and I want to make sure everyone can enjoy RH. So we are designing what amounts to an easier experience for players who may not be into hardcore. It will still be challenging but there will be steps taken to make the game more palatable for players with less interest in hardcore style play. We are also adding a 14 day Version, and that will be OUR official recommended version for Ravenhearst.

Good day to you. Eating bowls is definitely unpleasant. I suggest you stop doing so. Cooks can make bowls and jars. The SP version will allow a second support class when you finish the opening quest so this might be a good choice for you. Alas eating bowls is a mechanic of the mod and a price to pay when trying to make classes attractive to the outside world. One good thing about fixing all those pesky lines is that it is great practice for putting together a mod if you choose to do so in the future. It is how I learned, by modding out all those pesky jars i would get back from valmod. It changed my life.

Hello all, i know i have been pretty scarce here but later tonight i'm going to catch up on everyone posts and answer all the questions I can. With 17 being delayed to who knows when we are currently working on another patch that will see more balances and fixes and also we are PROUD to announce we are working on a Single Player version of the mod that solo players can enjoy if they so choose to.

Thank you so much for your review Space4Ace. Amazing read. Ok there was a HUGE mix up last night in the rwgmixer which resulted in the WRONG mixer being posted on the launcher. I deeply apologize for this. 100 percent my fault. The launcher has now been properly updated. That said I need to walk away for a bit. It has been a tremendously stressful and long 9 plus months of working on this mod, both here in public and behind the scenes before we even released. Thanks to all for understanding, and for the ones we have lost I also apologize. When 17 releases I will head into it with fresh eyes. I'll be around, but I am stopping all work on any mod having to do with 7 days, including bug fixing and balancing. 4.2 is the final version of RH on A16.

Release! v4.1 is now released to the Launcher. v4.0 Games and Saves are unaffected and can still be played from the launcher for the time being. 4.1 requires a complete wipe. I want to thank everyone for their extreme patience and understanding while me and the team worked around the clock to bring you what we feel is the best version of Ravenhearst yet. For this version we changed how we address issues and develop our mod. We moved to using Trello, brought on a dedicated test team and redesigned how we develop and work. I'm proud to say that our mod going forward will be developed in the most efficient and professional way possible, and I am extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish here. 17 is around the corner and we look forward to what it brings to the table for Ravenhearst in the future. Thank you all for the kind words, the bug reports and the continued faith and support. We will continue you to bring you the best response time, the most hands on and interactive Dev Team for any mod and look forward to exceeding expectations set by the community going forward.

Ravenhearst 4 Will be releasing THIS MONDAY July 9th in the afternoon (US EST time). Please make sure to backup your 3.1.5 saves if you wish to continue them and also make sure you save a copy of 3.1.5. Your installs MAY automatically update. This version requires a complete and total wipe to play. Below are the notes and a Preview ----------------------------------------- Ravenhearst 4 Preview Welcome to Ravenhearst 4! A scary new world of mutations and freaks unleashed upon the world of the undead. This time around we have peppered our world with new changes and ideas. We hope to gain feedback on these ideas as we plan our future going forward into Alpha 17! Below are some of the horrific and mind bending changes you can expect in this new world. There are many more to be discovered but this should be enough information to set you out on your course of destruction! Building and Upgrading Building your home away from home has completely changed. Now you MUST start with wood frames for ALL shapes. I have added a frame for every piece. There is one upgrade path. From Wood to Steel. So plan accordingly and make every second count as the days rise and the undead begin to take over. You will need innovation to survive! New Items and Classes Having a hard time finding that wrench or hammer? The Survivor now starts with the ability to make a stone hammer, which acts as a makeshift wrench and upgrade tool. Clamoring to cook some delicious dishes? The new Cook Class starts you out with the luxuries of a seasoned cook and as a bonus a Bloody Cleaver to slice your way through the undead. All classes have had their rewards tweaked and their steps consolidated to make for a better questing experience! They are Coming to Get You Barbara We aren't ignorant. They ARE coming to get you. The world is much more dangerous now. The undead have taken over and with them Hive Zombies have infected the population. Mixed in with the normal undead Hive zombies are here to sneak up on you when you least expect it. Easy to kill but offering little reward it is up to YOU to decide if you want to slaughter them, or allow them to overwhelm you in their massive numbers. Don't Go In There The Hive zombies must have a place to call home. And if you happen to find these homes you will be overrun by the sheer terror of their presence. Dotted around cities are Hive Houses. They appear to be normal houses but inside are dozens of hive zombies waiting to eat your flesh. Make it through the horde to find the special Emergency Supply crate for a chance at some much needed survival supplies. The Horde Is Coming Horde Nights are more dangerous and starting out you will see a slight increase in what you are normally used to. Gamestages will increase more quickly and dying...well it wont lower your stage at ALL. So plan accordingly. Oh wait....those footsteps. Is that...Rath? Beware Rath, he packs quite a "Punch" What Have They DONE To This Place Along with the other changes you are going to notice things work a lot differently around here now. Scavenging is gone. Now it passively levels. Engines need to be built, tires made from Rubber you find on the streets and normal 100 level skills can no longer be bought but must be earned through good old fashioned work. There are some new stations like the Carpenters Bench and the Appliance Table. And some older ones are now gone too, consolidated into bigger benches.(edited) I Knew I Saw That Wrench Somewhere Take caution as you work with your tools and weapons. When they degrade they now BREAK. Make sure to repair them often, and with the new repair kits system. Each class of tool and weapon have their own special repair kits you can craft or find. The Weight of the World Is On ME Encumbrance makes its debut in 7 Days to Die. Carry what you like, but mind the weight. Larger heavier items can weigh you down if you carry too many like engines. Guns and weapons are mid level. Special care has been taken to ensure building wont be TOO impacted by this, but it wouldn't be a world of living anguish if there was not SOME penalty for carrying 5000 cement around now would it. The Minibike is now your best friend. The Infection is KILLING Me The buffs system has been entirely rebuilt. It now means something to get infected, dirty or bitten. Hygiene is also very important in the Apocalypse and could lead to infected wounds. Snake Bites can be a death sentence and you must also now rest every night in a bed or chair to ensure you don't start to imagine that this is a world where everything is out to kill you.... even though they are! Please Dont Kill Me Bro Dying in Ravenhearst now comes with "special" rewards. Your food and water will diminish to 25 percent on respawn and your wellness... well it still goes down by 10. But now the minimum it can go is to 50! The Best Cracker In The Business Lockpicking can now be used to crack open safes and pick doors. You will need to become better at this skill by first starting out opening doors. As you progress you can move on to safes around the world. Safes are also now VERY hard to break open so Lockpicking will be the most efficient way of getting those firearms. Board Up The Windows You will notice that now you can pull boards off boxes and doors. When you do you will receive the boards that can be used to place on doors and windows. These boards have higher health and can be very useful to quickly seal up a building. Prying the boards from doors and boxes also allows you to silently access boxes and houses. Using a hammer or crowbar in your hand and pressing E reduces the time it takes to pry the boards off. Research Pays Off You will now need to research before you can make and use a Research Desk and its recipes. Knowledge Points can now be read like a quest in order to gain Experience in Researching. As you level it you will unlock more recipes. The Research Desk is now more useful as well, not only allowing you to craft classes but recipes, quests and more!(edited) Where is My FOOD Beginning is going to be harder. Early stage food is scarce and you will need to rely on whatever you can find, including insects! As you progress you will find recipes for other types of foods with benefits but snacking can come at a cost! The POISON Is STRONG The Fallout Zone has spread! Beware where you step! Medics will now be the sole learner of the Trioxin, and its requirements have been lowered. Antibiotics and other medical items now require compounds and mixtures. Hazmat suits can be found or rewarded one piece for each weapon class you complete in full. Folsom Prison Blues Make your way carefully around the world. Prisoners and Bandits are scattered and while they may get distracted by the normal zombies, eventually they will turn to you! They are quite juiced up on heroin and Blue Ice so be careful! If anything perhaps the cannibalistic Ghouls will take care of them for you? Dig You Son of a Mining has been slightly tweaked. Now you can find deposits of Rock Salt and Limestone and Carbon which will aid you in creating cement, salt, steel and more. No Place Like...Home Over a dozen new POIs, dozens more returning favorites and many more tweaked for loot, zombies and more offers you a world like never before seen. Tweaked RWG by Makabriel brings you populated cities spread far out, close knit neighborhoods ripe for the picking and wilderness POIs like you have never seen before! Traders no longer offer protection and their buildings can be destroyed! There is always something to find, right down to ultra rare super sized POIs. -------------------------- Keep in mind some of these ideas are more of a test to see what works and doesn't for 17. Also PLEASE note this mod slants to hardcore. We will NOT make adjustments based on ease of gameplay. We invite any and all feedback but going in please be aware this mod is NOT designed for new players AT ALL.
