Here is an additional POI for the Old West Migration Mod.
Oldwest Nitrary 01
This POI is a Potassium Nitrate processing 'plant' for saltpeter/gunpowder purposes.
It is a 42 x 42 Fetch + Clear. It is the first T5 added to the collection. Compact and potentially intensive.

Here is a small update for the Old West Migration Mod.
1. Old West Saloon 01.
This POI is a 25 x 25 T2 for Fetch and Clear. It is a 'Barroom Saloon' on two floors and provides another social venue as these are quite limited.
2. Old West Cabin 11 (TFP)
This is TFP's Cabin 11 that spawns in the Wilderness. It has been updated as a T2 Fetch and Clear and moved into a 42 x 42 compound.
3. Trader Bob
Trader Bob has been retro fitted to be an Old West Wagon trader. It is not possible to ensure he spawns into the same area as an Old West township but it is possible to place it manually through the World Editor or World Prefabs.xml file.
4. Appers POI
Appers POI removed the rabbit and chicken from the back yard area. The rabbit is inside a sleeper volume and was counted as an entity for Clear quests. However, it doesn't show up as a red dot on the targetting sensor. This is a known bug and expected to be fixed in a 7D2D update.For anyone who would like the full immersive experience, consider download the Wild West Mod which incorporates the Old West Migration Mod in addition to a whole host of custom POIs. It can be found here.

It's very nice and has been explored as a candidate. A shame 7D2D doesn't natively support that hold type.

Oakraven kindly shared an update for the Gatling model and this has been added to the Github and Moddb uploads.
It also received some re-balancing updates to increase durability through durability values, lower rate of fire (a lot of ammo was redundantly shot after an entity was downed) and by association increases durability as they are linked together, reduce mobility debuff, and provide increased capacity and ammo stacking. This weapon still requires Crater Bear teeth for the trigger and repairing but repair frequency will see a noticable reduction.

A bug report has been made to TFP relating to both rabbits (consistently recalcitrant in the HUD for targets) and chickens (periodically appearing as both a target and appearing as well as a passive entity). Any further posts about rabbits will be directed to this report.
This has been reported as a bug for both Rabbits and to some extent chickens that are placed in POIs. While they have been removed from the POIs that I know contain them, there may be more. This may not be the most suitable mod at the moment if it's not working out for you and it's fortunate there are plenty of other mods out there until this has been resolved and stabilises.
The rabbit issue received a short response from TFP QA as follows:
Hello, and thank you for reporting.This is known, and should be fixed in A21. Please wait and try again after that update.
We shall check again for A21 and reinstate them within POIs should that be the case.

Is there any way to tune the weather settings to keep your original purpose (high-temperature difference between day and night) while allowing for better visibility?
And would you mind sharing the length of your Game Day setting? We tested the updated weather settings in 120 minute days and it is quite reasonable with periodic weather pattern changes during this length. It could well be that the changes are linked to Game Day length if yours is lower and the changes are notably regular and frequent. This will help us re-calibrate if that is the case.

There is indeed. Head to the Mods\1-WildWestMod\Config\biomes.xml file. At the top are the weather settings for each biome. At the end of each line is the original default setting. This will help you gauge and edit to something that matches your personal ideas.

Thank you arramus.
Yesterday, that line was missing:<item name="CaughtChick" loot_prob_template="veryLow"/> from the .xml .... But I Played this morning and did a refresh on the game before playing and I just check the file again and it is there,☺️ so I'm thinking somehow that line got dropped when I installed game yesterday.
Everything was and read just you have listed above, except that one line ... I personally have no clue on what happened.
Sorry to have bothered you ... Have a good week and Enjoy. 😌
I'll delete the question on Discord when I log back in.
I checked the Github update history and this line was never removed which infers it was a one off anomaly for whatever reason, it doesn't matter.
With veryLow you should see a 1 in 10 to 1 in 20 success rate with very very rare occasions of finding 2 at the same time as it does two passes when it gets added to.1 -

Good day Arramus
I asked this yesterday on Discord and didn't get an answer, so I'm asking here>
Question: Just wondering, in the Dev. Build version .. has "caughtchick" been removed from Loot.xml .... I was going to adjust to med, so I wouldn't have to search 100+ nest for a chick .. Lol 😉
Thank you and Enjoy, The Old Gamer 😌
I do believe we discussed this quite recently in the thread and nothing has changed this that time.
For some reason the nest is not working out for your build. I have visited a few online servers this week and each one has been giving Caught Chicks in the Birds Nest.
This is how it works.
There is group Bird Nest 01 and 02. They combine into group Bird Nest.This is connected to the Bird's Nests we see on the ground and collect from.
1 to 2 items are always taken from 02. Most of the time it is feathers due to the high loot probability. Sometimes an egg is pulled. And quite rarely at about 1 in 10 to 1 in 20 times a Caught Chick appears.
<!-- *** Bird_Nest -->
<lootgroup name="groupBirdNest01" count="1">
<item name="resourceFeather" count="1"/>
</lootgroup><lootgroup name="groupBirdNest02" count="1,2">
<item name="foodEgg" loot_prob_template="medLow"/>
<item name="resourceFeather" count="1,5" loot_prob_template="high"/>
<item name="CaughtChick" loot_prob_template="veryLow"/>
</lootgroup><lootgroup name="groupBirdNest" count="all">
<item group="groupBirdNest01" count="1"/>
<item group="groupBirdNest02" loot_prob_template="high"/>
</lootgroup>I have no idea why this is not happening in your case. There are two options to resolve this:
1. Share your log so we can see what is happening as the game loads.
2. Invite me into your playthrough so I can check things out.
The Caught Chick feature will not be removed because it is essential and the only way to populate the Coops.

But here in the Wild West, unfortunately, it doesn't work for me at all. It's a shame, I really liked the mod, but now I'm constantly stuck on these quests that I can't finish and that's annoying.
It's a shame, but there's probably nothing you can do about it.

You can see in my screenshot that there is NO RABBIT there, unfortunately there is nothing left to find and the quest cannot be completed
I removed the first rabbit, but there were another 3 tucked away in the corners or inside other buildings. It was a pretty long time ago it was made and I don't keep up with such counts. Using the find block removed them and that POI was pushed as an update. It was tested to completion and looks fine now.

The Fort is OK. Enemies are spaced out and you have space to maneuver. And so far they were too many glowing ones.
The Snake Bite though is bordering on ridiculous. Way too many overpowered enemies in that basement, twisting corridors, fake walls, and so on. I just managed to clear it for the first time and it's been kind of frustrating.
Yes. The Fort is not one of Medusa's and uses orthodox groups. That other one is a law unto itself for sure. It requires preparation and planning and is most definitely not orthodox. The general consensus has been to leave that particular one as it is. The others have been mellowed to bring them closer, but not exactly, to orthodox setup.

Speaking of Tier 5 missions:
Snakes... why there had to be snakes?
Yes, these particular POIs can be rough. The creator gives fair warning for what's to come.

Just as with rabbits in real life, you can't stop them all stealing your veg first time round.
This used the highlight block and purged them all this time around.It should be reported as a potential bug to TFP, but since this is a custom feature it is typically frowned on to submit such posts and will be left as it is.

Feel free to share feedback directly to Medusa in the Tallman Brad Discord linked in the first post.
This thread is primarily just to share the mod in the forum.
There is a little guide in the mod which describes Medusa POIs as being more challenging than others. This was actually a request by a majority during initial development and they were reluctant to lower the challenge to provide a more T6 feel. This was potentially influenced by discussion in the CP Discord as it appears there may be more focus in that direction as well. They have been revised here and there over the past month and the current build has been met with the most approval across the spectrum. While those during initial development felt they became a little too light for their liking, they could understand comments on the other side and compromised. I'm not sure what build you are using as the mod is updated quite regularly, including POI balancing. All I can suggest on that is don't select Medusa's POIs as a quest. And if there is a lot of heat from a POI you don't know, it could well be a Medusa POI and best to not enter. I'm not going to mention this to the team because it has received a lot of discussion and rebalancing and this current build has been accepted on both sides.
As for the Fort, removing the rabbit may have introduced an issue. Checking all of the sleeper volumes in the Editor showed none are overlapping, all numbers and groups are appropriate, and all volumes are accessible. This POI was a specific request for the theme. The way it is laid out and the way the game handles spawning may not quite be as the Dev's intended as it is quite an open world type of POI with minimal scripted routing. I shall spend some time with the volumes and consider alternative more orthodox options to ensure it doesn't overwhelm the spawning. The number of spawns in that POI have been regulated to ensure there aren't too many at once as a players works their way through, but such is with open POIs.

I got a same issue with the fort.
Some lonely rabbit sitting behind some haybale there and was waiting for his dead.
The Fort and Stallionsden's Ranch have also had their rabbit(s) removed in the latest update. I don't think there are any other POIs with rabbits in them and this should resolve it from hereon... hopefully.

This warning ArgumentOutOfRange_MustBePositive often occurs when the RWG is trying to add certain features that it doesn't appear to be able to find. I'm sorry it's not working out for you. I am willing to assist in two ways:
1. Tell me the seed and specifications for the World you are trying to create.
2. Try this 8K RWG World (but customised to replace asphalt with gravel, hand place a few extra POIs that won't appear in regular RWG, and painted a little more of the biome to customise things). It has one spawn point on the East and next to a Travelling Trader on top of a hilly area. Looking down into the plain shows a first town.

8K
8K has been very successful in testing. In fact, the dev team are currently working on an RWG with a slight customisation for Biomes and POIs. None have received the following warning yet.
Saying that, this type of error has been seen before, and showed up occasionally with the Not Medieval Mod. The best suggestion is to change the Seed to something else and try again.

That would make a really nice Trader POI or Quest POI. It looks secure and like its own compound settlement. If you want to export it (or share the saves for this world) and send it over, I can show it off to the devs as a candidate for adding to the collection. That's some decent hours gone into that for sure.

Thanks for the info! I am using topsoil inside the claim area, to make it look more authentic. Maybe that's the reason.
I'm going to replace it with other type of blocks to avoid anything like this happening in the future.
I'll post some pictures with my base as soon as I get it ready. I just have to figure out how to upload images or finding a host for the images to link from.
Cheers!
Ah yes. I went past my total allowance for forum uploads and was given a very generous allowance for a long time. I started to use imgur as it allows forum linking and provides the code tags for it to make it easier.

Hi there,
I just had a random horde spawn inside my base where I have already a claim block. There is a big wall exactly at the edge of the claim active area, so they shouldn't have been able to come from outside. Unfortunately I haven't manage to get a screenshot - I was too busy making sure I don't get killed and my stuff wrecked.
I never had this happening in vanilla (which doesn't mean much). Therefore I'm not sure if this is necessarily related to your mod or not.
Btw, I love your mod! Thanks for making it and sharing it with us.
That is very unfortunate and also the first I have ever heard of it. The Wild West Mod only uses the Vanilla Wandering Horde settings and doesn't have any Harmony C# type patching .dll Mod to support it like some other overhauls are using (very effectively as well). I believe this would have happened in Vanilla as well on very rare occasions. Just a reallllllly unlucky occurance this time. Entities appear to be hooked up to only spawn on certain types of terrain such as dirt and grass and placing other types of blocks can stop it happening. There is a true/false setting which controls this. The Wild West Wandering Hordes are certainly a little bigger than normal and it is possible there was some spawn spill over.
Apart from that, thanks for letting us know you're having a good time with it. Fun through variety and balance have been the priorities here so far.

I had a problem with a clear-quest in the prefab "wildwest_apper_01_arramus". The last zombie does not exist. You should check that out please.
The last zombie is a rabbit in the Trapper POI in the middle in the back garden. This side gate is open for accessibility. I shall remove it from this POI in case it causes further misunderstanding because it is does not show up as a target even though it is part of the clear count.
Please also report this to Stallionsden as his Ranch POI also has such rabbits in the front farm yard area.

These models are basically attached to the player model as an overlaid item, while things like the spectacles are much more integrated into the character. It is something to do with the helmets and body armor and requires placing to fit your specific character.

(A20) Wild West Mod - 7 Days in the Wild West
in Mods
Posted
Hello Grey Lady. Thank you for reporting this issue.
I am using the most recent version of the Github Development Build. That is also the one that the 7D2D Mod Launcher downloads.
I do not use the 7D2D Mod Launcher because I use the Github Desktop Downloader instead. This ensures I can support that method as it is officially supported by the Wild West Mod team.
Unfortunately, I cannot offer any advice or support for the 7D2D Mod Launcher. This is because I do not want to give any bad advice. It is also because it is best to discuss Mod Launcher downloads directly with the 7D2D Mod Launcher team. This ensures they are aware of the issue and can see what may be causing it; be it a conflict or installation issue.
Here is a link for the 7D2D Mod Launcher Discord (It expires after 7 days)
