The command was probably testDismemberment but I think this is only to set the dismemberment chance to 100% and don't work the other way around.

 

correct.

 

[Game causing computer to hard reboot]

the scariest thing i noticed is this

"CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L V2 RGB (240mm AIO) "

 

any AIO that gets that hot is not working as it should. not all AIO are good and or even work, but at the least the temps should have been below 50c.

 

so yeah i am with jugg when he points out there is a cooling issue..

[Motion Sickness]

default is 65 which is where i play it at.

 

ranges are 50 - 85

make sure you are using the multi-shape (upper left icon) on the block icon.

Now that wood frames ( I think it was actually a20) are no longer able to be picked up what do you use to measure spaces out? I used to use the frames to mark out what I wanted to do :l

not sure why you cant but i still can and i show it in a quick video.

[Is It Safe To Build On Town/City Roads?]

supposedly IF a player builds on a poi and has a bedroll and or lcb down, then the quest will no longer include that poi. (supposedly), as long as there is no open quest on it by another person. (you should get a warning if there was a quest open)

 

i would be careful on that premise. also since you will be building on the large parking lot, you might want to destroy the paint lines as they are actual voxel blocks that may give you issues trying to place building blocks.

 

but as for your question... safer is merely up to the player and play style and how much you want to deal with nosy neighbors (ya know... the zeds)

 

if your server has it on... then be safe and at least lay down another lcb even if you have one at your original home base.

 

only place that really has a restriction is areas that are controlled by trader safety zones. so yes you can build almost anywhere (including on top of the dishong tower if you like).

[Solar wont connect to anything in prefab editor]

no it doesnt as the electrical components need an actual players id to assign them to and that info is not in the edit mode. i tried that too and found out it didnt work..

 

[Having Issues Downloading World]

not saying this is your issue but i had a test here on my computer with the hang..

 

i copy the current stable to my nvme drive and a copy to my ssd drive and a copy to my hdd drive.

 

this is what i got...

hdd hangs at world loading for 12-25 minutes without touching the keyboard.

ssd loads but hangs at loading world for around 10-15 minutes (its an old SSD)

nvme generally takes a couple minutes but while watching task manager i do not get the "not responding" notice.

 

if any of that helps its what i have found. oh and i have a:

Lenovo I9-11900k @3.50GHZ, 64G DDR4 memory, RTX 3060 12 GB ram (b560 mobo)

Viotek 27" LED 120 HZ monitor

 

all tests are with me connecting to my dedi hosted by Hosthavoc. with 1G DL speed from Cox Cable.

 

one last edit here..

i also get same issues with game hanging in ark do same tests... HDD hangs nvme doesnt. so its not just 7dtd.

 

 

[Missing my name in the game as a kickstarter-baker!]

@Crater Creator customer help here please.

 

 

i would imagine his inbox gets full faster then he can keep up with it.

 

hopefully he can help you.

 

[Missing my name in the game as a kickstarter-baker!]

contact via PM CraterCreator let him know because he will need some info.

 

as for the wanted signs, those are pics of some devs and qa members and other staff members... its not my real name but i am james johnson...

 

[Posterior View]

actually that is a mannequin. i think (could be wrong) but i think its a remnant of a gothic style roman cathedral. does seem a tad strange as you depicted.

 

 

[Missing shape]

sometimes the naming is overwhelming to some and that includes me... but fear not as i have a couple ways to find a block i want (if i see it in game).

 

watch the video and i hope it helps.. and as i said, if you have admin rites even on a server you can hit the F3 while DM is on and then focus on the block.

 

Spoiler

 

 

of course once you find the block, you will see its name to see if you were searching for the right one.

 

[Apache Artifact | Remove?]

actually it did at first... tomb was located in Navezgane hidden in the wilderness by the native indians way back when. i think they had it as a memorial for one of their deceased comrades.

 

i remember finding it and opening it and that creepy music (like an indian dance chat or something) would play.

[Apache Artifact | Remove?]

the artifact chest was removed.

the Taza axe is still in game and has veryLow spawn rate.

<lootgroup name="groupOldWestChest02">

I started a new game with the stable...

 

Yep, I immediately threw away the note at the start, as always... what could go wrong?

 

  Hide contents

Don't do that or you won't get a starter quest.
From now on you probably have to read the note first, haha nice surprise

😆

hmmm, i have a little modlet to trash it so i dont get it and my starter quest is active and when i completed with the campfire, i was sent to the trader. my a21b324 was updated from a21b323.

 

so no issue here. sorry

A little poll to see which of the progression systems players liked most...

i miss the days where we didnt have number game within the game.

 

[Bug or Feature?]

Yeah, it's so much easier to have it happen now I guess. You can lightly hit something and it takes 30% damage.

 

if you are lightly hitting things taking 30%, then you must really do some damage when you hit something at full speed.

 

but seriously, i lightly hit stuff and get around 3-5% damage but not 30 unless i am hitting several zeds at a time or i get stuck in between 2 objects like a fool.

go to where steam installed your 7dtd folder... here is mine

but a lot of traveling people put their stinky clothes in the trunk too so may not always be something you want to open.. (quickly that is)...

Last commit to testing was 15 hours ago.

 

testing_trunk has nothing to do with the experimental nor the public branch... testing trunk is the next alpha. testing_branch is the experimental internal testing.

 

sorry to burst the excitement bubble.

 

[If A POI Has Zombie Dogs, It Should Be Minimum Tier 2]

annoying yes, but doable as long as you keep your head and just look around... there is Almost another way to do something.

 

i show in my vid as a level one no points i dealt with the same dog at the same trailer park but in the burnt biome so i had to watch the embers and not burn myself..

 

i didnt one shot him but he got up and attacked the trailer door which gave me the chance to kill him with the 2nd shot... so on a one on one basis and keeping cool about it... they can be dealt with.

 

i do want to add that i am not a professional and yes rover was sacrificed in this test.

[If A POI Has Zombie Dogs, It Should Be Minimum Tier 2]

Spoiler

1. the amount of posts has no bearing on how much game experience someone has. the poster may or may not even have 10 hours in the game.

2. if a newbie/fresh spawned character goes into a t1 and just started the game with no armor or good weapons... then he is trespassing and the owner has the right to protect his property so you need to leave before he sicks the dog(s) on you.

3. if you do hear the dogs... run.

4. if death is the result... chalk it up to LBD (learn by dying) and try not to repeat history.

 

 

seriously tho... i know what you are saying but the easiest poi(s) are T0 or just simple little partial structures. T1s and above are meant to give some level of game play and or difficulty for questing or investigating and its up to the player to play in that to which he/she can handle.

 

if the T1 is just so irresistible at first, then player needs to be better prepared for it. the new skull system in the HUD should cause the player to think before leaping.

 

now the other serious question is... which T1 poi exactly had the dog in it.

 

FREE Tip... if a poi has a dog house on it... be very suspicious.. same as peaking on a roof and seeing a nest... may or may not have vultures..

 

oh and i am seriously not being offensive here either... hence the smileys
