!!!FRONT PAGE MOD DESCRIPTION HAS BEEN UPDATED!!! If you are helping test please read it so you know what is on purpose and whats a bug. Thank you. https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?38584-True-Survival-JZMOD

@Krieden- Your doing something wrong on installing the Mod Launcher or the Mod but its is working for others @litomaster- The server is for testing right now the mod is not ready for a play through test so because of that, as stated in the announcement, Cheat is "on" on the server. You can just hit "U" and pull out what ever you want to test, including more profession kits. You can also hit "H" and fly around and check out the custom rwg work. Also the map is still being reset a lot so if u die to much and you get "Dead is Dead" either message me and ill just reset the server or you can just wait till the next day and it should be reset by then. Just a heads up to anyone that wanted to hop on. We are getting a small sync error on entering the game. It does you no harm just hit "Esc" and you can continue playing. We know of the error and are working to fix it. That is the only known red error so if you get anything other than that please post it. Thanks to everyone that is testing

o its true, and its hilarious. My most favorite new feature so far.

The True Survival Mod Team is happy to announce the opening of the Official True Survival A16 Test Server. This is for closed beta testing, you will only be able to join the server by using the 7D2D Mod Launcher and the files will not start a SP game. Once the mod is finished the full mod will be available for download. -Warning- This is not a play through version yet. It’s our pile of Junk that loads, but feel free to play with our junk! This is for basic testing of systems, block, items, buffs and so on. Cheat is on! PLEASE POST ALL BUGS AND CONVERSATION ABOUT TESTING HERE- http://steamcommunity.com/groups/HardcoreSurvivalServer/discussions Instead of listing all the changes which is nearly imposable now what I will do is try to explain our goals for each system of game play. So when testing if it is not playing like described please consider it a bug and report it. Ok here we go….. True Survival A16 Profession---Upon starting, players choose which job they had prior to the apocalypse using the "start here" profession kit found on their tool belt (hot bar). This choice will determine the starting skills and exclusive specialty items the player can craft. Players are able to learn all Professions over time by collecting 20 Profession Pages and crafting another Professions Kit. The following are the Profession choices: Carpenter Starting Recipes - All Wood Frames Starting Bonus Stats – 10% Faster Crafting Starting Bonus Gear- Claw Hammer 300q Doctor Starting Recipes – doctor Book; painkillers; super Pill; painkiller Shot; stimulant Shot; infected Shot; sedative Shot; firstAidKit; aloe Cream; antibiotics Starting Bonus Stats – None Starting Bonus Gear- suture Kit; painkiller Shot x2; stimulant Shot x2; aloe Cream x2 Cop Starting Recipes – nightstick; gun Oil; weaponRepairKit; Pistol Starting Bonus Stats – 10% Better Dismemberment Chance; 10% Faster Reload Speed Starting Bonus Gear- old Revolver 600q; 9mm Rounds x16 Soldier Starting Recipes – grubs; weaponRepairKit; pipe Bomb; blunderbuss; blunderbuss Ammo; mineCookingPot; AK47 Starting Bonus Stats – 15% Better Dismemberment Chance; 10% Faster Reload Speed Starting Bonus Gear- old Rifle 600q; 308mm Round x19 Chemist Starting Recipes – red Bull; stimulant; mixed Chemicals; oil Shale; gunpowder; biofuel; purification Tablets Starting Bonus Stats – None Starting Bonus Gear – stimulant x6 Chef Starting Recipes – All Cooking Recipes; sharpening Stone; fruit Juice; goldenrod Tea; red Tea; foodPrepTable; mega Crush; beer; mead; grain Alcohol; wellness Juice Starting Bonus Stats – None Starting Bonus Gear – old Knife 600q Fitness Instructor Starting Recipes – red Bull; wellness Juice; goldenrod Tea; red Tea; fruit Juice Starting Bonus Stats – 5% More Stamina; 5% Less Stamina Degradation; 10% Faster Walk/Run Speed; Double hold breath time Starting Bonus Gear- Bat 300q Fireman Starting Recipes – aloe Cream; firstAidBandage; fireman Axe; Molotov cocktail Starting Bonus Stats – 5% More Stamina; 10% More Block Damage Starting Bonus Gear- fireman Axe 300q Iron Worker Starting Recipes – All Scrap Iron Frames Starting Bonus Stats –5% More Block Damage Starting Bonus Gear- wrench 300q Electrician Starting Recipes – wire Tool; shock Stick; electric wire relay; All Player Lights; Spotlight; speaker; switch pressure plate; tripwire post; electric timer relay; pressure plate Long; motion sensor; electric fencepost; generator bank; battery bank Starting Bonus Stats –5% Faster Crafting, 5% Less Repair Quality Loss Starting Bonus Gear- wire Tool 300q Steel Welder Starting Recipes – All Scrap Forged Frames (Steel Starting Bonus Stats –5% Faster Repair Time Starting Bonus Gear- welder Tool 300q Thief Starting Recipes – iron Shiv; lock Pick Starting Bonus Stats –2 Block Treasure Radius; 25% Faster Loot timers; 20% Faster Crouch Speed; 25% Less Noise Starting Bonus Gear- lock Pick Gun 600q; lock Pick x 50 Park Ranger Starting Recipes – wood Spear; wood Javelin; Spike Trap; herbal Antibiotics; purification Tablets Starting Bonus Stats –10% Faster Crafting Starting Bonus Gear- old Rifle 600q; 308mm Round x 19 Mechanic Starting Recipes – auger; chainsaw; generator bank, minibike Starting Bonus Stats –None Starting Bonus Gear- screwdriver 300q Mason Starting Recipes – All Brick Frames Starting Bonus Stats –5% Faster Repair Time Starting Bonus Gear- brick Hammer 300q Bouncer Starting Recipes – brass Knuckles; beer; mead; grain Alcohol Starting Bonus Stats –5% Slower Stamina Degradation Starting Bonus Gear- brick Hammer 300q Backpack- Added one row of backpack slots Building- Blocks no longer upgrade or downgrade into other types of blocks. Wood only upgrades to wood not to Scrap Iron. All Player building blocks (but Log Cabin Wood) are upgraded from Frames (Cobblestone Frames, Brick Frames, Cement Forms) Building block recipes are no longer locked behind levels or required perks. To learn to build the Frames and Upgrade Material for a building set simple craft the required Tool and destroy world blocks of that style to retrieve building supplies to re build that style of block. Only the required tool will result in the retrieval of the needed materials and only by using these supplies to rebuild a block will you gain xp in the needed skill to unlock the crafting recipes so you do not have to scavenge for supplies anymore. Food- Introducing Food Spoiling in world loot! The longer a plyer plays a map the less fresh and unspoiled food they will find and the more spoiled, moldy foods they will find. All basic uncooked foods can be broken down (scraped) into serving (Fruit, Grain, Protein, Veggie). These serving s can be combined to make more nutritious foods. New Workstation - The Food Prep Table –Used to break down food serving more efficiently, store them and cook them into nutritious meals. New Stat- Nutrition- When you combine food groups you get nutrition (1 Severing Type + A Different Severing Type = 1 Nutrition) When the player starts and learns their profession their Nutrition stat is set to the highest level “Healthy Diet”. There are 3 good stages to Nutrition. Good Diet; Balanced Diet; Healthy Diet. At “Good Diet” you will start to gain wellness and health effects from foods. At “Balanced Diet” you will begin to heal faster from injuries like broken or sprained leg, dysentery and other injuries. At Healthy Diet when you are full you will receive a slow heal over time. It takes 7 game days for the full Nutrition buff to fade completely. New Stat- Bad Nutrition- The longer it has been since you had “Good Diet” the more your Malnourished Stat will start to stack up. It also has 3 stages Bad Diet; Vitamin Deficiency; Malnourished. Once all good Nutrition buffs fall off you will no longer receive wellness or health from food or drink. At “Bad Diet” you will get hungry faster and lose stamina. At “Vitamin Deficiency” you will take longer to heal from injuries; get hungry faster; lose stamina and move slower. At “Malnourished” you will take longer to heal from injuries; get hungry faster; lose stamina; move slower and slowly start to lose wellness. Workstations- All work station beside smelters(forge; Blast Furnace; Food Prep) require the player to stay inside them for them to run. Most Workstation recipes are 5 seconds now, with perks they can be 1 second. Completely new Skill / XP System- ALL quality items have their own crafting skill and crafting a quality item only gives XP toward its own crafting skill. So crafting Stoneaxes only gives XP for improving Stoneaxes. Dead is Dead- There is no Minimum Wellness anymore. IF YOUR CHARACTER WELLNESS FALLS BELOW 1 YOU CAN NOT RESPAWN. (and the room goes quiet) *all I can remember for now I will add to this as we go To join the server- Download and install the 7d2dModLauncher from here- https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?48537-The-7D2D-Mod-Launcher-A-Mod-Launcher-for-7-Days-to-Die After installing and updating the Mod Launcher click on Open URL and paste this in there- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpiderJZMOD/7D2DModLauncher-File/master/7d2dLauncher.xml Press Enter. Uncheck EAC and install (might take a long time the first time) In the Mod description in the Launcher you will find the current Server Password. Click on "show more information" to find it. The Server Password will change whenever the clients need refreshing. After starting game the ip and port will be automatically populated.

Ya ya restarting it, fixing bugs. It comes right back up.

@xFORCERx- Dont know yet honestly. We will know more about performance once we get it up on the test server.

@slicksister- Farming is a long quest chain now that everyone can do. As you complete parts of the Farming Quest you will be rewarded with seed recipes and other important farming recipes. @pinedepin- None of that will matter in A16. Our Skill tree is completely different from vanilla. I think we only have 2 of the same Perks/Skills as vanilla. We have a new nutrition system for A16 that will effect a lot of other things. A few examples. With good nutrition you will heal faster from injury's, move faster, be able to gain health and wellness from foods. When you become malnourished you will take longer to heal, be more susceptible to bacterial infections, not benefit from health and wellness on foods and much more. Also we have a spoilage system we are implementing that will force the player to become self sustainable for food as they play and no longer be able to survive with just looting foods late game.

News! Getting close to something worth putting on the test server. Its starting to look like True Survival again. As for the Professions we dropped Fisherman and Farmer and added a Mason and Bouncer Profession. Lots of new things but ill save them all for when its ready to test and I post the new description. Stay tuned!

Ok peps opening up the topic of Profession specifics. What I'm looking for is suggestions on the Profession specific starting stats, items, recipes or perks. Here is our current A16 Profession list. Feel free to offer other starting professions if you can make them unique and fit with the mod. A16 Professions Burglar Soldier Farmer Mechanic Park Ranger Welder(steel worker) Electrician Iron Worker(iron Worker) Fireman Police Fitness Instructor Chef Carpenter(wood worker) Doctor Chemist

@pinedepin- Forums dont want to work right cant post a image or link to a image. Its this one - http://7daystodie.gamepedia.com/Trash_Can

Work is going slow but steady. Should be ready to start testing something soon(*TM).

We're worken on it, we're worken on it. Its a lot of work.

@wolverine576- If you want Dev Forum access just message me on steam and make sure your in the mod steam group. Then you can see what we are working on and add to it if you want

It’s that time again True Survivors. Time to put our thinking caps on, pull up our big boy pants and make the most challenging 7 Days to Die Mod, True Survival. And with every build the task gets larger and larger. That’s where ya'll come in. The True Survival Team is looking for a few good modders and imaginteers to help in creating the A16 True Survival Mod. Any and all skills are welcome. Any and all levels of involvement are welcome. To be listed as a contributor and a member of the TS Team in the Mod credits tangible work must be completed and used in the mod. Types of contributors we are looking for. POI Builders, xml and C# coders, 3D Modelers, or anyone that is proficient in editing any specific system of the game. Want to be a Team Member but not too computer inclined? Do you like story telling are you imaginative? We have lots of new quest and story line work to do so if you want to help make the story line for the mod or help in making creative quest objectives we can use you. Want to be involved but not interested in actually doing any work? Well we got the job for you too! We need your brains! We need veteran players of the vanilla game and/or of True Survival to help with game play ideas, balancing and parsing the good from the bad of any new ideas. If you are interested in helping out please message me through Steam here- http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198071700260/ and I will give you access to the Dev Section of the True Survival Groups Forums here- http://steamcommunity.com/groups/HardcoreSurvivalServer That is where all development discussions will take place until the mod is released.

FYI. All A16 True Survival discussions, suggestions and work will be done here and not in the SDX Thread. That thread is closed. Modding has begun for A16, soon as we have something that will load stable it will be up on the test server and I will post the info. After playing around with the new XP system we have decided to stick with our previous plans for the True Survival XP System and are working on it now.

Its for PVP, if you are SP then u can trash it or scrap it.

HAHAHAHA! Its not that type of mod. LOL. Thanks for the laugh this morning. This is a mod that is built to stretch out game play meaning you are going to level much slower. A veteran of TS can get maybe 2 or 3 levels in a few hours of game play, as a new player you should be able to manage at least a level every few hours of game play. Killing zombies does not give you a lot of XP, but doing anything but standing still gives XP. Moving, hitting, cutting, mining, hunting, crafting just about everything you do gives xp. I would suggest not trying to grind levels as I design the mod with the intent of eliminating the need and ease of grinding just about anything. Try and play the mod like its an RPG. So just live your life as that player trying to survival the zombie apocalypse and you will level just fine.

Sound shuold turn off when you turn them off. Hold down "E" then click the Lock. Thats what turns it off and on.

This and SDX have the combo pack already. SDX Has more stuff and new 3d Meshes. SDX is more current.

News.- If all goes well I should have the test server up by this weekend for people to check out the new skill tree and building system. Since its close I can give a few details. All quality based items have their own crafting skill. So crafting a Stone Axe only makes your Stone Axe better and after a set number of Stone Axes you will not get XP for making them. No building material upgrades or downgrades into another. So wood only upgrades to wood not Scrap Iron. Blocks with multiple upgrades will not break back into its many stages. Instead the blocks health will accumulate on the current block and when broken turn to a frame. New building Paths- Sod -> time->Hard Sod Log -> Log Cabin Frame -> Wood -> Wood+Wood -> Metal Banded Wood Frame -> Cobblestone Frame -> Modern Brick Form -> Concrete Frame -> Reinforced Concrete Frame -> Scrap Iron -> Reinforced Scrap Iron Frame -> Steel -> Stainless Steel Each building path also has a corresponding crafting skill and unique Disassembling Tool. The tools for each will be an open recipe. To learn the frames of a building path you must use the tool on that type of block in the world to harvest upgrading material from them (like cobblestones or Bricks). After you have gained enough XP harvesting supplies you will be able to purchase the frames. After you have more XP in that building Path Skill you will be able to purchase the upgrade material so you can make it from scratch and not scavenge it all. The goal is to make a skill tree that’s less a skill tree and more a record of what you have done. So instead of you hitting player level 10 and unlocking the Wooden Doors Recipe and just buying it you will have to work with wood either disassembling POI wood blocks or building and upgrading wood building blocks to gain access to the Wooden Door. This will also mean a player does not have to learn things in order or at all if they choose. You don’t have to level a wood working skill to learn stone. You could just build one of the Stone Building Path Tools and starts taking apart stone walls and completely skip wood. This will also make group play even more interesting because if another player spends their time hunting or farming or doing something different than you they will have different recipes and be crafting better quality of certain items than you. So maybe someone who has leveled farming trades a Blade Smith a bunch of aloe for a nice quality Axe or Sword. Or maybe a hunter that has stocks of animal parts trades a Steel builder for a couple Steel Doors. We are trying to go full RPG on the next build. We hope to have a good story line quest and player back stories built in to RWG also.

@Fren- Wrong thread. You are talking about the SDX version

The SDX Mod? Yes. This thread is for an older version of True Survival. The newest one being actively worked on is the SDX one. The one in the link. It would require the server and all players to have it installed correctly and a fresh game(but its well worth it). It is available in Sphereii's 7D2D Mod Launcher for easiest installation and updating.
