V3.2.0 Stable - b10 Hotfix

Now you’re finally getting what this game is and why particular systems and features are chosen that might run contrary to a game focused on PvP. Another value to grind that affects how NPCs and factions respond to me is exactly what I want. That’s way better than psycho randoms online waiting...

V3.2.0 Stable - b10 Hotfix

What does reputation offer in PvP? Other players definitely won't react according to your reputation. Even in a PvP game reputation would only be another progression to grind whether it would be single players or a group. Grouping up in games makes preodiminantly sense for massively...

Beaten horse but i miss old cloths now

As I said, the sandbox options are all on/off toggles or magnitude sliders. There aren't any that switch between two completely different systems of play. For example, there is no sandbox option to change the hydration system from jars of drinks into a dedicated canteen inventory slot that gets...

Beaten horse but i miss old cloths now

When looking at the toggles for the current sandbox options I don't see how having one clothing system vs another entirely different system can work. The options remove things but they don't remove and replace with some other version especially when it involves one set of assets and then an...

They could also add a reputation value in addition to the current job tier score. The reputation value would only progress when you do jobs for that trader. There’s a number of interesting things you could do with that separate reputation score especially related to a story.

I guess if you see taking off the puffer coat to put on the poncho when crossing a border as meaningful, then the old system is better. After I swapped puffers for ponchos several dozen times I didn’t miss it when it went. I like the new system where you slot in components and never have to swap...

This is new to me, too. :) Many people know they can opt into an Experimental build in Steam to automatically download and play it. This program, which runs in parallel to Experimental builds, is more selective*. Applicants for the Playtest Squad are selected to participate in individual...

Well for that point, the new system beats the old system for environmental survival. The three tiers of underclothing plus the armor insulation liners are great for that. Right now I am perfectly fine in the desert-- but just recently by upgrading my underclothing. I still freeze in the snow and...

Hmm. Assuming you're not already signed in, this should take you to a log in page where you log into or create a Behaviour Interactive account. The page loads for me in Firefox (Windows), Firefox (macOS), Edge (Windows), Safari (macOS), and Safari (iOS). Maybe try a different browser?

Why is big multiplayer not supported?

Same people will complain the game isn't PvP when they can't find a way, and then throw a fit when the dev response is that they aren't making a PvP game. Just for clarity, at most the PvP population of the games players was maybe 3%. You can imagine why most developers won't spend resources on...

Watcher Cosmetic suddenly missing

Someone inside TFP will be working on it, searching for it, programming and testing the fix. Then testers will check whether the fix works. Then it will be added to a minor version that is to come out maybe in a few days, maybe in weeks. Only when that minor version is actually getting released...

V3.2.0 Stable - b10 Hotfix

Yeah, the devs should push the sound path button. Idk why it’s never occurred to them? I guess we’ll never know. Sounds like you have read the ragdolling book. I’m all for additional options so I agree that a knockback distance option could be fun. Have it go the other way too for giggles...

V3.2.0 Stable - b10 Hotfix

Check your sandbox settings because default is 10 quests per tier. You can increase that too if you want it slower. If you choose to go back to the forest and do 7 or 8 tier 2 jobs for Rekt then of course you’ll only end up doing a few for Jenn before the next trade route mission comes up and...

Why is big multiplayer not supported?

Here is the thing though. Multiplayer as you explain it has never been supported. It isn't something they abandoned, or stopped supporting. It's something that was never intended in the first place. The real issue behind player counts is the amount of data that a fully 3D voxel world requires...

A New Chapter for The Fun Pimps and 7 Days to Die

If you disregard the dates and just look at the feature list you can see that everything has been completed up to the bandit feature. Even the next feature after bandits has had some work done as we got a new load screen and UI menu appearance in one of the recent updates. So everything else...

Random Idea

There are many many additional achievements they could add but I'm not sure whether they can once the game releases. Microsoft and Sony are pretty rigid about their rules regarding achievements. It makes people mad when they get that 100% but then 6 months later they check back and are only at...

Beaten horse but i miss old cloths now

I'm just so grateful that, for me, spending time changing outfits, changing my appearance, changing my hair, building a closet full of clothes is the most boring and non-critical aspect of really any game. Even with games that emphasize it like life sim farming games (which I enjoy) I never...

V3.2.0 Stable - b10 Hotfix

The game has never employed vertical distances for sound. You can be on the third-story floor of a skyscraper and you will hear zombies at ground level like they are right next to you. Given that this has never changed in 12 years of development, it must be a limitation we will probably always...

A New Chapter for The Fun Pimps and 7 Days to Die

You may be remembering an unofficial roadmap circulated on Steam for a time. It was a non-developer’s best attempt to update TFP’s V1.0 roadmap shown in 2024, to reflect more recent developments. It looked official to some, but it was not. So its prominence was reduced to prevent confusion. The...

Console Mods?

I mean, it is probably a poor idea to begin with to expect PC-level modding capabilities when you are buying a console in the first place. There are multiple factors that limit the capability for consoles. Not just the lack of available hardware for the overhead mods require, but also the...

Windows Game crashing, taking computer off with it

Just making a note here. Was recently troubleshooting a lot of GPU timeout issues myself. Spent the better part of the past month on it. Games crashing randomly, browsers freezing up, Discord having audio issues (using GPU-based noise cancellation), the works. Replaced drivers, used DDU, did...

Windows Game crashing, taking computer off with it

Game crashing and not running smoothly are 2 different issues. The first one indicates a serious problem and if just a driver update made it go away (instead of a hardware switch) you really got the best possible outcome. Your CPU is quite old, from 2018. Depending on your expectations it...

Console Mods?

Possible, sure. Likely, no. Consoles already don't have the hardware to support the base game, and are limited in features as a result. There is no real overhead to allow much in the way of mods. You might see some small xml-only mods allowed on console through mod.io, but don't expect...

Can we make zombies stupid please?

Thanks for the list. I've built drop bases, underground ramp bases, pole bases, all in later alphas, never in A16. Why? Because in A16 I knew anything I build would be basically ignored. Definitely. Because of my co-player we play at default adventure difficulty and this allowed us to be lazy...

Windows Dont know what to do

I agree with Jost. The shutdown has probably nothing to do with the game, either a spike on your power line or an OS or hardware malfunction. But what it possible did was leaving your save game inoperable. Also it seems that one of the mods you had installed did not play well with the changes...

Yes, but whether they are coming from north or west is no meaningul variation. You point gun at direction x, you shoot. There is neither any brain activity necessary to do that nor does walking from north side to east side make me do anything different than before Because the changes were...

Can we make zombies stupid please?

But I have definitely played A16 and I don't see multiple interesting solutions. The A16 horde base has an optimal solution that is based on having the same front on all sides, closed blocks if you just want to stand above, or with a melee slit all around if you want to melee. Only variation...

Can we make zombies stupid please?

It is very easy. All good designs try to hoard the zombies into kill zones, but how the kill zone looks, how big it is and even how many kill zones there are is the variation. My current SP horde base has a melee box with one kill zone where I melee them. There is another station with 2 kill...

Can we make zombies stupid please?

A few suggestions: A) You have drawbridges and you have doors you can turn around so they act like bridges. With that you can make multiple spots where the zombies attack you just by being on a specific side of a drawn bridge. B) Even without bridges, since they take the shortest path you can...

V3.2.0 Stable - b10 Hotfix

Well, I am saying even more: That bandits have not been the cause of **any** things removed in the past. Things being removed because of bandits are all in the future, i.e. to be seen (or not seen anymore) in 4.0 I agree, bandits are no exception.

Ok, based on that log, I would follow these steps. 1. Back up all your current save data from localappdata. 2. Open the game client library and delete everything. "B:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die" 3. Delete the mods you have installed. Either they were in the client mods folder...

Windows Default command settings in serveradmin.xml

Also a note on the levels. 0 is Server Owner. 1000 is verified platform account. 2000 is anyone at all. There is no real purpose for using 2000 for in-game commands, though it can be useful for the web console/map interface. 100 is the default for reserved slots, and 90 is Twitch. When I...

Custom quest text for each POI

We know that in the broadest terms, the devs aim to add bandits and then story. So there will surely be story text in some form, and this isn’t a bad way to do it. I will say that players basically hate to read, whether the text is useful to them or not. So I’d expect most story elements to be...
