A mod to change the Pipe rifle over to .44 instead of 7.62 would make Jawoodle happy, I'm sure! :D

I was digging around in my game settings this morning and found a file named UserOptions.ini and thought "Cool, maybe I can set options here instead of in the Steam interface..."
However, when I opened the file I found this:
This file is no longer used for overriding settings. All 7 Days To Die settings can be found and changed in the registry under the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\The Fun Pimps\7 Days To Die You can directly open RegEdit on that key from the game launcher on the tools tab.
... interesting... but my Linux system does not have a registry, nor would anyone running on MacOS. This just seems like a misdirected attempt to "optimize" at the expense of usability on other platforms.

Words don't have intrinsic meaning, they have uses. We are in the process of adding to the meaning of the word bullet.
This isn't the first or last time this tragedy will occur.
Am I being a bully? That word used to mean lover.
Am I being nice? That word used to mean ignorant.
Relax, it's not worth a mod. Have an ice cream instead.
If words don't have intrinsic meaning then what would you do if I asked you to "Revoscuttle" the "Flumacher" ...could you achieve the requested task without asking what those words mean?

Sigh..... maybe as a mod leveraging localization then... hmmm.

Can we correct the terminology, please?

You know, I actually like this. It could give you a sense of reclaiming the area from the zombies ala state of decay. It does kind of break immersion seeing poi's refill with zombies, especially if you're on an island because... where do the fresh zombies come from?
Optionally, having the sleepers respawn gradually over X days... one at a time, in random places, would be cool too. Keep you on your toes.

I'm reposting this from a thread that was more based on performance, but I may get a better response here:
QuoteThe Steam forum did mention that 7DTD is heavily dependent on single threaded performance, if I remember correctly.
I am running a 12core Threadripper 1920X overclocked to 3.7Ghz (instead of the base 3.5Ghx) with a gob of RAM, but I'm not getting very respectable performance so far (perhaps due to an older video card).
Just a thought: Would it be worth while trying to run a 7DTD server instance separate, as well as a client instance on the same system to offload the ...offloadable tasks to different threads on the CPU? ...thus making the game more multi-threaded at the expense of other resources?
...I'm running on Kubuntu 21.04 (Early Adopter)

That IS a fancy toilet, indeed!

OK, love the mod, but I do have one minor gripe. Why is Titanium better than Steel?
According to Quora (https://www.quora.com/Is-titanium-stronger-than-steel-and-what-is-it-about-titanium-that-makes-it-so-difficult-to-manufacture):
"Titanium has higher tensile strength per mass but not by volume. A kilogram of Titanium can take more force than a kilogram of pretty much every other metal. However titanium is not very dense (which gives it its light weight). What this means is that while a kilogram block of titanium is stronger than a kilogram block of steel the block of titanium is almost twice as large as the block of steel. So unless someone wants to make their product almost twice as large in order to get that strength advantage steel is always preferable for making strong objects. Steel is also harder than titanium. Titanium deforms more easily than steel. This is why titanium blades are always on par at best with equivalent sized low grade steel blades as titanium blades lose their edge very easily. For things like nuts and bolts and screws equivalent sized steel items are always preferable unless you want to sacrifice strength for lighter weight (which you shouldn't for things like bolts and what not)."
So a Titanium version of a 10lb sledge would have a 5lb head, and titanium axes, picks and blades would wear out faster...
A better material (IMO) would be Tungsten, which is more dense and harder than steel.
...Sorry, just my 2 cents... Love the mod though!

Very nice bit of work!
On NitroGen v0.253a and a Linux system running java -Xmx24G -jar nitrogen.jar I generated a custom map with all defaults, but 20000x20000. Memory only peaked up to 17Gb at the end.
... world mapping ... DONE ...

... so what about Darkness Falls Compatibility?
(I know it's not your job to ensure it works with other mods, but was wondering if you had checked it.)
