Realized that stone ammo only works with the primitive weapons, which makes some sense - my bad. Opening ammo to obtain components is pretty awesome. It is too bad you didn't do that across the board, to include opening gun ammo to obtain components - bullets, gunpowder and cartridge/casing. May also want to check the localization.txt for the Hunting Rifle description, since you updated it to use .44 magnum instead of 7.62. Is there some sort of newbie buff/debuff effect that causes player to consume food+water MUCH faster when at a trader outpost? Kept repeatedly starving to death at Trader Hugh's, even when chain-gorging MREs. On the thought of outposts, if you are going to make trader outposts destructible and build heatmap so quickly, may want to redo the trader POIs and add active defenses, such as traps/turrets/guards. Replace all those wood walls and spikes with (at minimum) T2 cobble/scrap, but preferably concrete or steel. Love the mob randomization, bigger hordes, customized zombie loot by type, and variety of reskins. However, zombie detection range/FOV (hello stealth), heatmap and respawn rate felt like they were overtuned. These could be dialed down and still maintain increased challenge from vanilla. Clearing an area of zeds SHOULD mean it stays clear for at least a day or two. Anyways, you are doing a fantastic job and I look forward to revisiting your work after A19 hits. Currently playing around with True Survival by SpiderJZMOD. The above is just my personal two cents, take it or leave it. Have a good one!

Might wanna double check your crossbow bolts and arrows, to verify working as intended. Getting some weird stuff with them acting as containers. Stone bolts appear to be missing from the hold-R selection wheel and the following line should be updated in Localization.txt: junkLeadScubaweightDesc,Gnamod,"A lead scubaweight previously used by scuba divers to weigh themselves down. Can be scrapped for the raw material or sold." replaced with: junkLeadScubaweightDesc,Gnamod,"A lead scubaweight previously used by scuba divers to weigh themselves down. Can be scrapped for the raw material or sold." junkLeadTrophy,Gnamod,Lead Trophy junkLeadTrophyDesc,Gnamod,"A trophy made from lead. Can be scrapped for the raw material or sold." Thank you Haidrgna - keep up the great work on this fantastic mod! Looking forward to A19 and your next big update.

Dunno 100% as I've not tried it, but if I were to hazard a guess would say NO due to numerous changes in loot.xml by both mods. If you are looking for an overhaul to try and get ComSenMod working with, I would try True Survival by Spider or Gnamod by Haidr'Gna. The ember mechanic of ComSenMod will probably also not play well with overhauls...

in config/items.xml of ComSenMod, locate the closing tag near the very bottom: </configs> REPLACE the line above with the 2 lines below: <set xpath="/items/item/property[@name='Stacknumber' and not(@value='1')]/@value">30000</set> </configs> Voila! Anything with a Stacknumber>1 should allow up to 30K.

Definitely interested in taking a look at your "Rare Quests" modlet, but it doesn't appear that you have any "actual links up", as you stated earlier. Feel free to PM me with details. Good luck getting all of the authors above to give permissions.

@Robeloto "Nerf Them All" modlet is missing two of the schematics which can be found in destroyed containers. To fix, replace this line in modlets loot.xml: <set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootcontainer[@id='94']/item[@name='chemistryStationSchematic']/@prob">.01</set> With these 3 lines: <set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootcontainer[@id='94']/item[@name='chemistryStationSchematic']/@prob">.01</set> <set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootcontainer[@id='97']/item[@name='batterybankSchematic']/@prob">.01</set> <set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootcontainer[@id='98']/item[@name='generatorbankSchematic']/@prob">.01</set>

Lockpicking Additions by Stallionsden - adds many more commonly lockable containers Lockpick Model by JaxTeller718 - adds a unity model for lockpicks in players hand HD Lock Pick by War3zUK - adds HD lockpick for opening locked paintings and upgrading destroyed workstations KHLockpicks by KhaineGB, updated for 18.3 by Tristam - adds LQ lockpicks and replaces downgrade path for doors/safes (probably conflicts with yours) Not necessarily the same thing, but there may be a little overlap on one or two of em.

Already using a couple other lockpicking mods, but as long as this only effects door downgrade paths, should be fine for compatibility. Would ❤️ to see your work!

I second this^. At least then if I manually reloaded with zombies bearing in on CQ, it would be my own fault that I was dogpiled on...

@Gronk Check out MeanCloud's Mining modlet by PSouza4. Personally I only use his cannabis and fishing modlets, but you should get some ideas in the right direction. If you reach out to him, maybe even a collaboration, since you are more art/asset focused...

Try loading ComSenMod first to change all the stack sizes, followed by True Inventory by Eihwaz to actually rebalance the encumbrance system. Load order is alphabetical, so you can just add numbers or letters to the front of the mod folder name to change it. If you don't care about balance but just want 30K stack sizes, you can add the following line at the bottom of any MOD items.xml just before the closing tag at the very bottom (i.e. </items> or </config>): <set xpath="/items/item/property[@name='Stacknumber' and not(@value='1')]/@value">30000</set>

The above is the root of your friend's problem. Correct me if I am wrong, but AFAIK right now, gamestage is cumulative (individual gamestages added together for determining spawns) in groups. Even if it was averaged between all of you, grouping would significantly increase the difficulty for your friend. The only advice I can give is for the "good players" to eat glass daily to reset their gamestage, and possibly look at lowering other server setting to non-defaults, like disabling blood moon all together, or setting all zombies to always walk. The terrific thing about 7 Days to Die is that there are so many options (non-default) to granularly adjust difficulty up or down. Personally, I prefer warrior difficulty, nightmare zombie speed at night, blood moons disabled, with mods for increased wandering horde size, 50% health and headshot-only damage. It keeps the threat constant and a lot less predictable, while reducing the bullet sponge effect.

@Pichii Could be wrong, but based on the sentence above, I think we are miscommunicating because English is not your primary language. Hyperbole/exaggeration = dishonesty in most parts of the world. This is truth. But some things are just lost in translation. Perhaps you simply chose the wrong words and mis-spoke, and I jumped to conclusions. Perhaps we just have radically different value systems. I apologize for my overly blunt and emotionally insensitive assumptions, based on such. Hope you recognize that I agreed with almost everything in your suggestion, with caveats, and bear you no ill will. Your ideas have merit, and are valuable, regardless of whether I agree with them, or not. Peace be upon you, and all that...

Last response from the OP was March 14th 2020. Not that long ago. Yes, I checked it before asking the question, and am aware of OP's 7DtD burnout+Pokemon binge. Please don't respond on behalf of the OP, unless you are their spouse, or have something constructive to contribute.
