Some say that this game cannot be won because it is never ending. That is pure nonsense. This game can be won and it is all about making it even more fun and challenging than it currently is. The developers have their standards they must meet to be responsible to their mass market but as consumers we don't have to abide by their standards. We can modify the game and if you modify the game to add more zombies to your biomes you win. I promise. There has been a lot of talk about this in various threads but I wanted to give a nice clear step by step set of instructions so that ANYONE who reads this can win. I want us all to be winners after all. Okay, now different computers will have different configurations but the following steps if followed is guaranteed to work on anyone's computer. Often I read threads on modding where the modder says, "just open such and such and edit the files". Well let me help you unerringly get to those files: Step 1: Open Steam and go to your library Step 2: Start the game like always Step 3: Choose to show game launcher instead of playing. Step 4: Once the game launcher window opens select the tools tab. Step 5: Select Open Game Folder Step 6: Double Click on the folder named Data Step 7: Double Click on the folder named Config Step 8: Scroll down the list of files until you get to the one named Spawning Step 9: Right click on Spawning and select Open with notepad or wordpad or notepad+ (whatever you have) Now you are in one of the most glorious option menus this game has to offer. Here is what you do next:

I think all that can be said about this has been said. Peeps are just repeating themselves and what others have said before them which were just a repetition of what they already read from someone else's post. To summarize what the developers have said: There are no additional updates to the console version planned. Nothing will be done in the console realm until the PC version is finished. At that point the devs will decide whether to re-enter the console arena and when they do it will most likely be an entirely new product on next generation consoles.

Stores set the prices. Take it up with Microsoft and Sony.

As long as they need a copy of the game to use them then it is fine. Providing modified versions of the POIs is no different than providing modified versions of other xml files. POIs do not have to be wholly original in order to create a prefab pack and distribute it. Good luck with your project!

all nicey nicey now.

The Kickstarter ended about 5 and a half years ago...lol Go to the Kickstarter site and search 7 Days to Die to see how they did.

Try using sphereii’s mod launcher. It has a function to run two different alpha versions and may fix whatever conflict you are experiencing.

So if I want Alpha 7.11 I see this line from above. 251576/manifests/public: 4644625435838178353 › 6548888709412020723 So do I paste the following into the command console? download_depot 251570 251576 6548888709412020723

I should have said Horde Mode sorry. Horde Mode was an alternate game from the main game that was almost pure tower defense. Multiple airdrops would bring supplies, food, and weapons during the day and you would frantically build in preparation for the waves of zombies at night. the waves would get tougher each night. I believe it was removed Alpha 8 so you would have to download Alpha 7 in order to play it.

Fantastic! Just for the access to Classic Horde Mode alone this is an amazing resource!

Got this finally figured out. Sorry it got moved. I have no idea why that would happen. Good luck with your channel.

Now I feel like I need to give a compliment. The mod is awesome and I really like the whispers at night. Super creepy!!! Also I wrongly thought that zombies would be blind to me at night as in the base game but that was a fatal assumption...lol. Going out at night is a huge risk again which is great. I was about to go out and gather a few fibers near the entrance to my base and with my finger literally poised over the E button in front of my door I heard a whispered “I see you!” And that was the end of that plan. I realize it was just a sound file and there probably weren’t any zeds in the vicinity at that moment but it sucked all the courage out of me and I decided that looking over all the new skills was way more important than getting fibers in the dark...lol

Arrows have been particularly annoying for me. I keep going to make them from wood and rocks and then have a “what’s wrong with this thing?” moment before remembering that I first have to make sticks and arrowheads grrrrrrr.... I get the appeal of complex multi-step crafting for the visual attention to detail and more realistic approach but dang it— a more abstracted representation that gets you what you want in fewer but “good enough” steps wins for me. At least we don’t have to split the feathers in half and use glue....

I’ll mention it. Since they’re working on quests it would be a good time to add a tag so that scrapping could be an objective. My opinion is that you could change the opening quest to “gather sticks” since the gather tag exists and then make it so that you harvest sticks from bushes and wood from trees. Probably have to change the stone axe recipe to sticks as well then. Or if you can swing it, make it so bushes give one wood and one stick. Then you don’t have to change the recipe for stone axes. But also keep it so you can scrap wood for sticks. As for the UI that would be amazing but it is Sphereii’s mod and not Dad’s I’m using now. I wouldn’t want you to put yourself out though as invisible hud doesn’t really have widespread appeal. Plus there is a bug with it so that the opening quests don’t work. I can live with being a cyborg when playing your mod

Maybe change the wording in the opening quest from "Craft Sticks" to "Scrap Wood to Sticks". Took me a fair while to figure that one out...lol So far so fun Jax.

Why not just disable LCBs on the server? Sounds like that is what is making it boring.

Suggest that to Madmole directly when he returns someday. He is all about castles.

Sticking this

Thanks a bunch. Could you link me to your tutorial Lazer?

Bandicam simply records. I use a different program to edit and upload to Youtube. OBS does everything? Record and then edit and upload?

So I purchased the full version of Bandicam about a year ago. But should I just forget that and go with OBS? I noticed that Bandicam had the sound sources as well but so far I haven't been able to get them to work so that my mic is loud enough. You feel that OBS is superior?

Thanks. Now I feel bad about your link in the index....lol

Okay, I got it done and linked to everyone's thread and put it in the Rules Thread. That way there's not another sticky and it's a closed thread so it will always stay on the first page. Thanks for the suggestion Tin.

Question: What is the best way to record as I play? Right now I am narrating after the fact but when I start my series that I want to do I want my comments to be as I'm playing. I think I did it once by starting just the windows sound recorder and then mixing that file in with my video. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
