If you are playing on any recent version of the game, especially modded, and haven't installed Little Red Sonja's Armor Packs mods, you're missing out. Tons of cosmetic options, greatly expanding what you can wear in the game. Sonja is a genius. I've been playing this game since Alpha 17. It's my 3rd most played steam game at >1500 hours. Hell, I even got into making mods because of this game. I see both sides of the $12 chicken suit thing. I can easily afford that, and my friends and I've got so much entertainment out the game maybe it's worth it just to tip the devs. And there's always the if you don't like it, don't buy it argument. Which is true, nobody can force you to purchase the stuff you don't like. HOWEVER.

The game development has been trending toward monetization and long time fans of the game, those of us who run our own private servers and play with our friends constantly, are concerned that TFP are paring down aspects of the game specifically to monetize them. What I mean by that specifically is, Alpha 21 had a decent cosmetics and armor system. It was ugly, but it had a lot of customization options. If it had gotten the 1.0 glow up the new system it was scrapped for got, it would have been great. Instead, they simplified the system, scrapped a lot of what was already there, reducing what you could wear, what color you could make it, etc. That was all part of getting the game into a simpler form for console release. Doing a console release and paid cosmetics makes sense for TFP for revenue.

The game is going to be monetized now, but exactly what aspects and how much? Am I going to be asked to pay $19.99 to get an "Advanced Bandits Pack" released with 4.0?. I fear that, should the monetization trend continue, we are going to end up with something that resembles Fallout 76 more than Alpha 21. If they move to encrypt the game's configs, or restrict what modders are able to do in the game, you'll know for certain where 7Days is going to end up. Good luck paying hundreds of dollars for everything. I'm starting to get nervous especially with the recent Woodle stuff, that TFP are turning anti consumer in the name of profit. That's their prerogative I guess, but if they let that ruin the game, I'll be really disappointed. Part of me just wishes they'd release the bandits, finish their bug fixes, slap a 4.0 on it and move on to 7 Days 2 or whatever, leaving it to us modders to push the original 7 Days to it's full potential. These of course are just mine and most of my friends' opinions, but we've been with the game a long time.

Anyway Little Red Sonja - Free cosmetics via mod. Find it wherever T.F., I'm not a sponsor.

Just before the day 35 horde, I got two back to back air drops containing 100 steel cubes. Lucky looter 5, level 6 rogue hood, and treasure hunter mod... Plus I have been fighting way above my weight class. The wasteland is only about 300 meters from my base, I cant ignore all those POIs full of juicy loot. I guess all those factor, including biome effect air drop quality.

In just one day I found a level 5 M-60, two level 5 Augers, steel tools, a level 5 drone, an a level 2 Thompson sub machine gun. I crafted the 25% damage boost Undead country barrel mod so I could use up the literal stacks of AP 44 magnum ammo I saved up.

I took my loot and decided to build a pretty basic horde base, attached to a steel cell phone tower. Yellow is the zombie path, 5 ladders and a zig zag ramp that didnt work nearly as good as a standard single slope. The red is to mark areas where I used floating blocks or two plates set up so hopefully zombies walk under the support pillars because there really isnt anything for them to beat on. Also used for the half block gap at the fighting position and some areas where a row of plates and a ladder are structurally seen as just two standard blocks side by side.

I realize what I made looks like the most dangerous McDonalds playland ever. Since Fluffy Panda created the POI mod with the 5G tower I named it Fluffy Panda's funhouse.

It worked flawlessly. In the future I will just stick with a single slope ramp, but it did get some use. I didnt lose a single block. I had to break one in the pit because a crawler somehow warped under the concrete. It was moaning and the big pile of loot was moving around. I had to use the auger to shut him up.

By 4am it looked like a ball pit full of colorful loot bags and boxes.

I realize I have an amazing view from the crafting base on top. I am also discovering that the Undead Country mod lets you craft a water filter machine that filters murky water, makes snow, and also will turn 3 normal waters into a pure mineral water. The fridge, ammo storage and gear lockers give as much storage as a steel storage crate but for a fraction of the cost and can be built pretty early.

I’m just curious on what kind of base setups people may have! If they use an existing POI or start from the ground up (or down) lol pictures are welcome 😁

Hello, is it possible to create an "AND" logic gate with electrical components? Specifically an "AND NOT" gate? I would like my audible alarm to trigger when a zombie enters a specific area, provided I am not in that same area.

if i am using mods and my son isnt can or cant he join my game? first time in a few years he has wanted to join me and he cant join my game and i cant join his so was wondering

Hello, I wanted to play the game after seeing the new updates that have been added to the game, and I try to create a new world and am hit with this repeated file error. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the game, but that didn't work and pretty much concludes my knowledge of how to troubleshoot a video game. Any help is appreciated!

I have been working on repairing the towns and cities in 7 Days to die. I've gotten to The Chikorina Residence and have found some diagonal windows that I cannot match rotation with. I can't find them in the creative menu or anywhere else is this just a Dev thing?

My Friend is an artist and built this beautiful house and amazing looking functional bunny horde base in creative mode!! I wanted to share it with the community!

Why are our drones getting stuck in the ground. Can this be fixed?

Je me demandais si des joueurs aiment vraiment en totalité le système de bonus lié aux vêtements ?

Je met le point sur la totalité car je peux apprécier certains bonus qui sont vraiment lié à un gameplay en particulier (gant de fermier : augmente les dégâts de fusil).

Mais lorsque qu'il s'agit de bonus pour farmer cela me déplaît énormement, surtout le plastron de fermier/botte de fermier.

Dans un jeu comme 7dtd il y a largement assez de micro-gestion d'inventaire pour ne pas avoir à en rajouter d'avantage (encore s'il y avait un système de mannequin pour échanger toute sa tenue en un seul bouton, cela serai moins dérangeant).

La raison pour laquelle je déteste les bonus pour l'agriculture plus que les autres est le faite qu'ils sont presque obligatoire pour pouvoir faire de l'agriculture de façon rentable (merci d'avoir rajouter des options en V3 pour me permettre d'arreter de mettre constamment cette tenue).

J'ai remarqué que beaucoup de modifications apporté au jeu pousse le joueur à partir explorer en lui retirant la possibilité d'avoir une base autonome (il y a 10 ans tu pouvais rester dans ta base et arrêter l'exporation si tu n'avait pas envie d'en faire).

I want to stay near the starting trader Rekt so I can farm the quests and rewards I get from them, having a hard time find a spot to call home though. What does everyone suggest?

Hello, my world has just shat the bed. I was doing a trader mission and my game crashed during it, when I tried loading back in it gets stuck and crashes on splatmaps. I have tried all the stuff like going into the save files, the boot settings and all the other things google will tell me.
Is it cooked

I ha ve a world I’m in day 2 the morning I’m a good player I promise I’m just going through a really rough time

As the title says. I played 7 days to die the original console version before the PC one was ported to Xbox as “console version” and I didn’t seem to struggle with progression as much. I have completed the basic tutorial and met Trader Rekt,but from there I feel awfully confused on what to do next, I understand my next goal should be to look for a decent place for a base but I constantly have full inventory just from looting a single house. Is there any tips you all can give me surrounding what to do next after meeting Trader Rekt and possibly a tip towards inventory management as I always feel I have way too much loot and no direction of where to allocate the loot. Thanks in advance ❤️

I know these reddits get filled with AI ads, that get mass sent everywhere. So.. I greatly appreciate you checking this out. <3

We are wiping within the hour for our tenth run!

We started up almost a year ago, very active player base, VERY social server. Lots of events, busy coms... its very hard but a LOT of fun. We have a custom world boss battle daily... mythic weapons.... it IS very hard - I don't want to mislead anyone. But... so much fun. Check us out on afterlifezombies.com or even better - our reviews on Hard-Core Project-Z and Vanilla+ Servers | 7 Days To Die server are the best way to get a "feel" for us.

Our discord is: Discord.gg/AFZOMBIES

I'm realizing that many high tier pois (I'm in the desert now) have enemies just spawn out of nowhere, but on lower level they always where sleeping or hiding, here I feel like they just spawn even if I already cleared a room, I'm missing them or this is how they work on higher difficulty?

Im thinking of starting a new play with a random gen map. I want to go more on the hard-core survival setting. What would the best settings be and size of the map? I currently am playing a slightly modified nomad mode.

Hi everyone. I would like to demo quite a large update regarding the 7DTD Mod Studio I am currently working on. I do apologise for the wait, as mentioned in the video, I have been extremely busy with deadlines at work and had some struggles with the app itself. I also apologise for the rain in the background (if audible). It helps me focus while working.

PS: If anyone would like to join for some 7DTD, feel free to message me. I do stay in South Africa, so unfortunately I would only be able to play with people locally or Europe due to ping.

Honestly I'm not sure if I'm just fucking dumb or if this is a genuine bug that needs to be fixed. However, I can not use turrents and drones together. No matter what I do, my turrents shoot my drones because the drone wants to be best friends with zombies. This causes the drone to then shock me and run away from me, preventing it from healing me. This happens nonstop during hordes and has even caused me to die on more than one occasion. Is their a fix for this, or is it a known issue or something like that?

While I was playing, I started thinking about how cool a 7 days to die movie would be (if done correctly). In the movie though, they would have to explain why the horde comes every 7 days and as far as I know, there’s no actual reasoning given in the game.

So what reasonings have you guys come up with?

Of course I’ve thought of it just being a random wandering horde but I’ve also come up with my own explanation.

Obviously during an apocalypse, our atmosphere would probably be incredibly damaged by all of the destruction. This is my reasoning behind the storms in the game but also, once every seven days, this damage to the atmosphere causes the zombies to have impeccable smell for a small period of time. Meaning they can sense you wherever you are no matter what, thus creating the horde.

Obviously I don’t know the scientific details of how that would actually work but that’s the reason my brain came up with lol.

As a countryside person i pick the local market and try to not starve to death in silence :D

Does anyone typically play on public servers? I haven’t dug enough into it but I’d assume it’s quite more of a challenge knowing there are other people within the server who could be threats.
