I call them shovel spears and yes they are still good. and in a way better than the spear.
Power thrust.
Spears are great at keeping your distance.
But when your fighting against fast enemy's like birds the bone knife is better.
You know, this gives me an idea...

I love this!
But no you can't use the shovel as a blunt weapon currently. All you can do is thrust with it.

We should survive in the way the habitat gives us opportunities and we get advantage of them, in game.

im talking realistically. sure you can uses it as a bladed weapon, Mostly if its a Tactical or Military shovel. but the shovels that we have in our yards that may or may not be rusting away, we would mostly uses it as a blunt weapon

In the older awesome horror game Nocturn for the PC...there was an old western level with zombies and I bashed so many to death with a shovel!
and it was mostly straight out bashing them in the head with it...great game that could have turned into an entire series but sadly never did...

Damn it you guys are right. Horses wouldn't be viable nor would dogs =( It was a passing thought when I saw my girlfriend playing Last of Us Remastered, they had a horse and I was like "Hey, horse" lol

I found a leveling system that I kind of like. I'm on Warrior, 60 minute days. First 4 points go into strength and sex rex level 2, that covers my melee with the club and makes me able to fight effectively. Then for the first in-game week I invest only in intellect; 3 points into intellect, then 2 points into advanced engineering, 1 point into physician, and 2 points into grease monkey. All workstations and the minibike available. Then I just use whatever pipe bombs and molotovs I got from quests to do horde night while running around, typically after popping a skull crusher for bonus melee damage for my power attacks.
This run I got the minibike by dawn of day 7, but I got bounded on by a pack of dogs while digging up a buried treasure, tried to drive away, got away, then thought "I need their rotten meat for farm plots". Long story short I died and now have to start over because I do permadeath, damn shame, but I enjoyed my experience and 10/10 will do it again on a different seed. After that first week of investing in intellect I don't know what to do next, any suggestions? I was thinking continuing in strength investment, getting level 4 pummel pete for extra melee proficiency, then investing in Miner 69er and Motherlode. I tried fists and spears but I find that they, like the knife, don't have enough staggering power to chain headshots without fear of being bounded on by a rage mode activation. I can control the fight better with the club than any other weapon, I find, even against multiple zombies in an enclosed space.
Btw, can you buy steel tools and drum magazine mods from the Trader? Wondering if I should read those books, or just sell them and wait until I see them at the trader. Finding the parts for steel tools is kind of a drag, buying them is expensive too. Magazine drums are obviously awesome especially when paired with Magazine Extender, just wondering if I can get drum mods from traders instead of having to craft them myself to see them.

Points are spread too thin bro that's a late-game investment too many necessary perks to get first. I changed it to paragraph format. I just never remember to because I view paragraphs as a superficial thing; We're all taught that paragraph format is necessary to read, that's why people demand it, when really, I have no problem reading and following walls of text with full comprehension. But I was a 90 student in academic/university level english, it was my only strong subject, so maybe that's just a reflection of me and not everybody else. I just view it the same way I view SJW crap where people - through social conditioning - demand something trivial of you that's only significant to their perspective, and isn't necessarily necessary or even important to yours. Maybe some people need paragraphs to read, but I don't, so I can never comprehend why some people see it as required and as a result can never remember to format my submissions that way. Wracks my brain. But I'm happy to change it afterward if someone else needs it.

I don't think anyone *needs* for there to be paragraphs to read and understand a post. It's just easier on the eyes to not have to read a wall of text.... therefore it's common courtesy to use them.

I know the devs have complained quite a few times about walls of text as they prefer posts to be as quick and easy to read as possible. Since more often then not they are in a hurry or taking a quick break and just skim the thread for things relevant to them.
In other words big posts with multiple points and walls of text is the easiest way for it to get ignored.

I'm going to do my best to remember for next time. I have a question about archery. My bow says 25 damage, stone arrows say 20 damage; Is the total damage of the shot 45 in that case? So with the multiplier of 3.5x from sneak, it would be 45 x 3.5 for approximately 150 damage?

I'd be reading that Drum mod schematic...you can get them from the trader but they're fairly rare in my experience...and since they fit onto a lot of the weapons (pretty sure TAR's, M60's, AK's, Auto Shotties and Junk Turrets, (maybe even the SMG)) being able to craft them would be invaluable. But, that's me...depends on your preferred weapons and how many you'd need.
The steel tools too. They're only worth what 160 Dukes? Not that profitable for the inventory slot they take up. Plus you get a little XP (100 I think) every time you read them.

The damage stat on the bow shows the damage for the arrow that is loaded into it plus the bows damage bonus. So it is 25 damage total and sneak attacks are around 87damage. If you slot in a iron arrow that number will go up to reflect the added damage that they do.

Thank you. I'm gonna work on a new base design to share here, where it's designed to keep bears and direwolves out at night but where you can "Safespot" them so to speak. I was in a trailer and I fought off both on separate occasions by placing a wood frame in front of the door to keep them out while I dealt the damage required to kill them, repairing the frame as needed. So I'm thinking a square-shaped hunter's blind type thing where I have hatch frames as the outermost blocks on ground level, open the hatch frames at night, keeps enemies out while I dispatch them with a club or blunderbuss, or a spear in the event that I'm fighting a bear, since it has the longer reach required. Then maybe digging a ladder down into a cave where I'll have all my necessary workstations and storage. Gonna see if I can create something cool and easy to use and share it with you guys.

Hi GPC,
Thanks for the heads up. Please submit a bug report page linked below. Also, you will need to be more specific in what you mean by "popping." I am assuming you are talking about occulsion? A video would be ideal since what you are describing seems very specific.
https://community.7daystodie.com/bug-test-1/
Edit: I found your original post and noticed you mentioned some console errors. When visiting the bug report forum link above, please make sure to read all of the items required for the report listed in the red banner so the issue can be further investigated. (e.g. outputlog file, etc.) Thanks.

Sounds sorta similar to my go-to A19 horde base. It's worked very well in all of my worlds so far with one exception. In all but that one world I made the foundation completely solid, the exception being the time I built over my mine. I had a ladder going down though the foundation and it failed when the zombies broke through the foundation, climbed up the ladder and got me.
I can't say for sure the zombies 'detected' the ladder path but it sure seemed like it and after that, I went back to the solid foundation.
