The basic problem is that you need a laser workbench to make another laser workbench. This is a design feature not a bug. You really have two choices

- bring the ingredients (plus multitool) to a bunker and make a laser workbench inside the bunker and take it home with you

- buy a laser workbench from Caitlin - very rare and very expensive

Hi!

This mod has been such a blast, thank you for making it.

Yesterday some big issues started in my save and now I'm thinking is it a bug or did the game turn harder on purpose.

Me and my friend are about 50-60 lvls and game stage is somewhere between 70-80 ish. Been dodging every horde night since day 7,because base just is not ready for the horde . Now its Day 39.

We dig really deep before night starts :D .

Issue is that Zombies are constantly spawning and running to our base,this started at day 39. It's like horde 24/7 and it's a daytime. There's about 20-30 zombies and we ran out of ammo because the waves just doesen't stop. We have killed hundreds of them and they just keep coming. 5 Zombi bears, several infected policemen, footballplayers, zombiedogs, screamers, nightstalkers and the list goes on. 

We did not change any settings, kept them as they were from the start. Game isn't fun anymore since we don't have ammo and there is no time to make more or repair the base.

Is it a bug or is this how it supposed to go? 

Thanks!  -Cynfus-

 
Sounds like you got hit with a wandering horde, decided to go nuts with guns, which called screamers, which are calling more zombies, and you kept going nuts with guns.

Go less nuts with guns to lower your heat.

Thanks for the reply.

There's like 7 screamers at the same time and we are trying to make the existing horde to disappear by driving around. Once the horde disappears and we get back to base, waves start again, without shooting,w/o any interaction with them .We just can't avoid them anymore. 

Going less nuts with guns, how is possible when there is no option to just let the zombies run around the base :(  ? Is there something we could do to stop this madness?

 
More traps.

Seriously. More spikes, barbed wire, etc. That all helps do damage to zombies. Bows, crossbows, molotovs, nail bombs. They all help with damage.

Build your base to do as much damage as possible without your interaction. Then you don't need to go nuts with guns. You can take it a little slower to pick off stuff on low HP.

EDIT: Oh, and silencers. Get silencers. Silenced rifles and pistols are WAY quieter than silenced fully auto weapons.

We are so newbs that didn't realize it might have something to do with heat activity/map . Maybe if we shut everything and stay out of the base for few hours it will settle down.

Almost all ammo are gone, including bombs and traps are pretty much  impossible to make at this point since they are already in our base.

Ty for reply, have to try something.👍

That's because you need to make the appropriate item for those perks, which is unlocked via tech crafting.

Oh, thanks. That should be somehow included in the description. And btw I learned that bio and technical boosts are mutual exclusive - after I spent my single demonic essence while sitting on a bunch of nanites -.- 

I don't believe it, but: Is there a way to "unlearn" bio boosts?

Alright, it's up! Here's your notes.

Darkness Falls V3.3 Patch Notes.

- Updated mod to A19.3b6.
- Updated to CompoPack 46.
- Updated Myth's bloodmoon vehicle buster mod so it works now.
- Converted all XML into XPath format.
- Compiled all DF code into a single DLL so Mods.dll is no longer required (still used for SphereII-Core)
- Moved all unity3d files into the Mods folder.
- Added Redbeard's ActiveIngredients harmony mod.
- Lowered craft time bonus from Advanced Engieering as it was causing 0 craft time.
- Added a Lockable Clothing Rack for player housing.
- Added Scrap Iron Bolts.
- Fixed The Completionist not levelling Plasma Axe crafting quality.
- Steel ammo now reduces range and accuracy by 25%, instead of increasing how fast the gun wears out.
- Added AP and HP variants of Steel Ammo.
- Brass Catcher now appropriately returns brass or steel casings depending on ammo type loaded into the gun.
- Fixed incorrect rotation on titanium knuckles.
- Added missing localization for animal coops/snares journal entry.
- Added Scavenger Mastery book.
- Added Scavenger Mastery book to appropriate trader/loot lists.
- Added recipes for the player to make their own mastery books (it is VERY expensive).
- Scrapping a mastery book now gives enough skill notes to make a class book.

- Coilshotgun ammo now uses iron instead of polymers.
- P225, Winchester Rifle, M4A1 and Coilshotgun replaced with high quality models for better "mod" positioning and later animation.
- Lowered craft time reduction on nerdy glasses to see if it helps with the instacraft bug (from 10% to 5%)
- Made the normal paint brush slightly faster.
- Increased range of the normal paint brush.
- Added steel ammo bundles (for all bullet types).
- Added a reduction in stamina use of 2% per mod installed to all scrap+ tools (pickaxe, fireaxe, shovel, wrench and other disassembly items. No bonus for power tools)
- Fixed the crucible not scrapping.
- Added bundles for all coilrounds.
- Removed "learnable" tag from all bundles because you should just be able to make them.
- Fixed UI display for AK-47/M60 damage.
- Moved electric parts from DIY perk level 3 to level 1.
- Lowered DIY perk from 3 levels to 2.
- Fixed the "unlocked by" on the Advanced Brass Catcher.
- Lowered the duration on the buff to make the brass catchers work from 0.1 seconds to 0.01 seconds to see if that helps with auto-fire weapons (M60 was particularly bad)
- Slightly increased the spawn chance of the wandering trader.
- Added T5 fetch quest to the large bunker.
- Very slightly lowered the AOE range on NORMAL demons (Incubus and Succubus still have stupid AOE range).
- Increased quests per tier from 10 to 15 so it takes longer to get to T2, T3, etc when grinding trader faction.

- Added Cryogrenade (same damage as molotov, unlocked at Demo Expert perk level 5).

- Slightly increase the amount of brass found in loot to compensate for no scrapping.
- Lowered nail craft time.
- Bandages may now work properly on other players/NPC's.
- Lowered duration of buff from Awesome Sauce and Spaghetti.
- Awesome Sauce, Spaghetti and Pumpkin Cheesecake bartering buffs no longer stack.
- Added a new shader for MOST of the reflex sights (coilshotgun not done).
- Removed the items that spawn animals since people kept finding them in creative and breaking their saves.
- Workbench schematic should now unlock level 2.
- Reduced craft time on rebar frames.
- Lowered cost to make action skill books.
- Increased how much iron Steel armor scraps into.
- Edited Crack-a-Book tower to add in more bookcases and more GOOD quality bookcases... because it's a skyscraper... called CRACK-A-BOOK.
- Rebalanced all zombie, demon and boss AI.
- Removed particle effects from the wasteland and desert for better FPS.
- Added an extra drop chance for the Winchester Receiver and completed rifle.
- Hoe should now benefit from Living off the Land.
- Added "Tobi's Balancing Act" super rare rifle mod.
- Tweaked the Liquid Nitrogen mod to see if that helps with zombie movement penalty.
- Fixed the run speed on Auto Weapons 40+ action skill.
- Lowered the cost of the basic armor plating.
- Slightly tweaked the shamway crate loot so there should be more canned food.

- Added a potential fix for Junk Sledge causing NRE's on non-vanilla entities, like animals (you sick @%$#s.)
- All 8 maps remade. Maps ending in 1 are compo pack and Myth's rwg. They have at least 2 of each bunker and at least 1 caitlin. Maps ending in 2 are vanilla RWG, no compo pack and also have at least 2 of each bunker, 1 caitlin and 2 of each skyscraper. (Except the construction site. At least 1 of these)
- Fusion Forge now works as a direct upgrade to the Advanced Forge.
- Laser Workbench now works as a direct upgrade to the Workbench.
- Added an Armor Spikes mod.
- Added Crowbar item.
- Changed Flaming Arrows/Bolts to use Iron Arrowheads rather than steel so there's better progression.
- 15 slot toolbelt now works correctly with shift+number. So slot 11 would be shift+1 and slot 15 would be shift+5.
- Fixed a vanilla bug with hot/cold screen effects not persisting when going from hot to sweltering, or cold to freezing.
- Warrior or higher difficulties are now more... well... difficult.
- Added Christmas Items.

Due to the new maps and all of the back-end changes, THIS ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES A WIPE! Also, for the secondary download, you may get a warning about an invalid certificate. This is because it's hosted on my server in germany, and apparently you can't apply SSL certificates to IP addresses, so feel free to ignore it.

Launcher users should now have an "Alternate Download" checkbox if the primary one doesn't work for any reason. This will pull the mod from my server in germany.

Just joined to post this @KhaineGB, sorry if it's a silly question!

I'm setting up the 3.3 dedicated server, and I can't see any of the usual DFalls maps in the Data/Worlds folder. The serverconfig file still refers to the old DFalls maps, so is this unintentional?

Appreciate your hard work.

Thanks!

You definitely don't have something installed right. It was tested by the testers yesterday on a clean install and working fine.

I am also having the same issue. Cleaned my 7 days to die files through steam by verifying game integrity. Then installed darkness falls 3.3A from the first link for github. Unless the first link is corrupted somehow. I repeated this about 3 times and still the same result.

Steam delete game and verify files does not remove the old mod installation. It removes ONLY steam owned files.

So you still have the old mods in the old path as Khaine wrote above.

Manually delete the mod folder from your 7d2d installation (probably also the prefabs, don't know if they have been changed) and THEN reinstalling the mod should do the trick.

Or similar: Even if you completely uninstall the game via steam, still make sure the entire installation folder is deleted!

yup yup i did exactly just that just wanted to came here to say that as well thanks!


 
I started two different, default maps today. And the first quest - "Journey to the Settlement" said there is "No Trader".

Are there Maps without a trader? Never had this before.
