Does anyone know why the Better Vanilla overhaul isn't working? Yes I am running V5 of the launcher. Yes I tried deleting/reinstalling a cpl times already. Going to the discord doesn't help because it insists that the launcher version is the only reason BV won't start using the launcher, and to make sure I'm using version 5. Or, barring that, does anyone have any background on whether one of the other A21 overhauls is good to play? Edit: I'm trying to avoid having to keep changing beta versions in Steam just to reinstall each 7DTD version to play A20.7 while I'm waiting and checking for a good overhaul for A21. Having to wait for 7DTD to re-download 13GB every time I want to see if an Overhaul is worth playing is becoming...tiresome to say the least.

Is there any way to make class quests run one at a time? Just playing is completing most of them at once. Asking because even with setting my xp down to 25%, I end up being lvl 10 or 12 by the start of day two. By the time I get to day 7 for the first horde, my gamestage is wrecked, and I am nowhere near (playing-wise) getting the things I need to survive it. Since these zombies are no joke, normal HBases won't work. I really don't like having to cheat in building mats, blocks, and ammo when I can help it.

TY much. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to jump into wasteland from the start. I ain't THAT good.

I came across the visual glitch where assets disappear when you move around. For me it's only doing it when I face southeast, south, and southwest. I deleted all the mod folders from before and am using the launcher. Is there a fix for this? I can still interact with the interact-able objects like doors and such, but it starts to become very maddening, very quickly, when your movement is blocked by things like metal shelves that only show up when you look away from the direction you need to walk.

Good to know. I found a location for him on the VSm map and I'm only on day 6, lol I'm fast-tracking a little since this isn't the final version yet, and things'll prob. change. But I'm curious about hoe *HOW* (hoe???🤣) the story unfolds.

Need to work through the 'Scout' quests. When you do enough she'll send you to Razor. As far as the Lab...I'm not sure if it's spawned in when needed or not, but I think the only way to get to it without wasting days looking is through Razor.

Isn't that a 'Working as intended' type of thing, since everyone has their own personal factions now? I've always thought it was so I never said anything. Might be the Farmer line I think. Haven't run into that so far on a few of the others. (Laborer, Survivalist, Scavenger)

I just did 2 in a row from Rekt about an hour ago, and I'm on VSmall myself atm. @KhaineGBMaye a percentage adjustment in the quest pool (if that's even a thing)?

afaik If it's B36 then It's been working fine for me since it dropped

@walkingwounded kk, for a bit I thought I was losing my mind...again.

Can confirm. Biome Multipliers suck at early game, and wasteland adds it's own quirks. To this day I always avoid it until I level up stats and gear first, unless I have no choice. Way too many extras the game throws at you in there. If you're using a different platform, sorry for the mix-up. Are the build version numbers going backwards now? I'm using B36 that I got yesterday @1:30pm (forum time): way longer than 7hrs ago.

It's been on a few other packs as well (mostly A19) It's basically every dynamic block that can be down-graded. Some packs haven't had this issue probably due to whatever they happen to add as custom dynamic items. **though a cpl packs have had perfect custom assets and still had low res. on vanilla ones.** I'm afraid (as far as I know) there is no real way to guarantee permanent improvement without doing an overhaul of one mechanic or another in the base game itself. Unless there is a modder out there that knows a way to optimize rendering somehow. Obviously not me

Here's one that's not as much of a priority (I think). Wanted to test and see what options I had for the variant blocks. The door one was fine, but the window one opened the door UI with this code in console. I hope you can see it okay. If not lemme know and I'll try for a better view.

Mini Miner needs fixing. I built it and as soon as I put it on my hotbar, I get a streaming red console error that I can only alt+F4 to do anything. Needless to say, this happened yesterday, and even now loading my world starts with this. Is there a way to get my save back, or do I have to start over again?

Sry, haven't gotten there yet.

Is there any way to go into the files somewhere and disable the spawning of the bugs that come out of the ground? The camera jitter from them pushing me around literally makes me sick.

Not sure if there even is a node for it, however I have seen red nodes in the burned biome. I've mined 3 and have gotten different resources each time (not much Tungsten at all though). Although I HAVE gotten a noticeable amount of Tungsten, scrap as well as ore, from mining the 'Pyramid' looking deposits in every biome. (Differing resource type in each block-size) Also you can get Gold, Silver, and Diamonds from those too, as well as a few Geodes each time which I've gotten some nice profit for the rare bits within them. Edit: After some checking of nodes I've found that the ones that are so black they look to have a blueish tinge to them in the wooded biome, those ones give small bits of other materials, but scrap tungsten as a main drop.

I'm guessing it's listed under a different name. I was able to both loot and buy from a trader, but when I do a specific Ctrl+F search for Zinc and/or Powder in their respective .xml nothing shows up for Zinc, and only potassium and gunpowder shows for Powder search. *Using Notepad++* I've also checked: Items, Materials, Misc and Recipes, and nothing is showing up in those either. But as long as I remember that zinc powder IS available through Trade and Loot, at least I won't have to grab a stack from the CM just to complete the Vitamins part of quests, or the few other medical items that need it.

I might have missed this somewhere, but since the only references to this I can find is a question from 2017, I'm not so sure. How do I get Zinc Powder? I've done searches in this topic and I can't even find an answer to the original question either. Have I missed something, or are ppl just cheating it in because nobody can find any other way to get it? I know it's a needed resource, but I can't find it in any crafting menu.

Dann tut es mir leid, ich weiß nicht, was ich sonst sagen soll. Bei mir funktioniert es ohne Probleme.

Since the Launcher page here on the Forums is long and slightly confusing with multiple links, here is the one straight to the Launcher itself. http://7d2dmodlauncher.org/ This hasn't let me down so far, been using it a few years now. I often screw something up when trying to direct-download anything, so the Launcher keeping things in order helps a lot.

If you still don't get an answer soon (may be busy as hell) try the 7DTD Launcher here. I use it exclusively and have yet to run into any problems with the mods listed on it, and AoD is running almost flawless (personal preference).

To expand on this, I did a little testing on my own, and needless to say, this must be for very end-game almost max lvl. I went into God mode, grabbed all the keys, and headed down. Not sure if all chambers have 3 floors, but the DoT started when I got to the bottom of the elevator, G fl. There a few things that can be looted but I think are just bait to trick ppl into wasting time. I went down the stairs to the next lvl, kind of the same thing, went down again and got to the Totem test chamber. I used the keys in order, and with the resulting fights I discovered something. The Dot is still going this whole time...so unless you have the gear to one-shot 1000hp+ (@ GS 18), the easiest fight would take too long (3 zombies, 1 at a time), and you'd be dead regardless of if you even get hit. I'm thinking that you'd need to farm nightly bosses to save up skull tokens, play long enough to gain close to (if not) max wellness and HP/Stam, and get the weapons from the AoD Traders to even come close to making it through to maybe the second fight, quick loot corpses, and sprint back to the elevator and up. Even then there's no guarantee even a flawless no-hit-taken fight wouldn't still kill you from the Dot. Love the mechanic and know it'll be fun whenever I get high enough to run them, however the amount of keys dropped from night hunting {Lucky goggles and a cpl points into raising looter perk for normal gameplay}, and the amount of Skull Chambers spawned in-world is a bit much for something THAT late-game oriented. Also it would make things run smoother without as much extra calculation that causes CPU's to stutter. **Dangit TFP, please try to optimize.**

@pipermac This might have been posted earlier and I missed it. Having a couple hiccups with save games and sound...might be my fault, not completely sure. With the sound, I'm getting loud zombie aggro sounds right next to me, when there isn't one anywhere near me, and when I turn on AI stats (Numpad 0) the closest zombie is more than 14 blocks away, and wandering around not aggro. This is really unnerving when stealth-clearing a poi and all of a sudden get blasted with @%$#ed-zombie noise through my headset and the only zombies around are still sleeping. Save games are a bit trickier for me to troubleshoot, so I hope you might have some insight. For some reason AOD is sharing save game slots with Undead Legacy, as in the 2 world saves I had on UL were showing up as available to load on AOD, but not the other way around. The only way I could clear the problem was to uninstall UL, which would normally bug me if it wasn't for the fact I screwed up in leveling and would have had to start over anyway. All this is being done with the 7DTD launcher btw, if it makes a difference. If there are any logs you need just let me know and I'll hunt them down. Ouch...hopefully this might be addressed by the time I grow the stones to try it myself. ATM trying a low gamestage approach to AOD so I have xp set to 25%, to hopefully not get run over on the first cpl horde nights. Getting shocked by melee with Watchers sucks.

Ahh crap. Kk, thx
