H's special things -invulnerable blocks items trader and more- (A18) (A19) (A20)

[Neb2566]

When I try to place the trader in my base that is a bit outside of a city I only get buried supplies quests.

Edit: After a bit of testing, tried dev spawning traders and it seems if you spawn a trader outside trader POI you will only get buried supplies with the settings as is, dont know if there is a way to change that but thought I would let you know.

Hi @Neb2566. Appreciate the feedback.

I know that, with A20 I wanted to test everything without creative mode, I enjoyed doing that but as a side effect I realized this too late, just after I got enough blood bag to craft special trader... so I'm not sure if it was same when A20 first came out, I believe latest update broke something but, one way or another, the current situation is clear. Though I won't be complaining for my single player playthrough, it is easiest quest type but, that doesn't change the fact that it should be fixed. When I have time to check in detail, I'll do that.

Thanks again for the heads up!

i've had 3 bases ruined by a misclick on one of the special blocks (2 times with the invulnerable steel and 1 time with the glass) it says they can be "All can be upgraded to visually equal but regular versions, with special nailgun or special stone axe and when having main cube (in case misplacements or change of mind)" i have the cube, the forged invulnerable steel ingots, the  axe, and the nail gun it repairs the cube and when at max hp it says i dont have the ingots (i even tried the super digger dev gun).

Hi @suto2200

Sorry that description is a bit old but mostly still valid, you don't need main cube, you need forged ingot. So, if you are using latest version you need forged invulnerable steel in your inventory. If you still have a spare in your inventory after the repair, there shouldn't be any problem upgrading a block.



After the upgrade it will look like normal steel and become destructible. When it is still looking like stainless steel, you can't destroy them.

(Invulnerable glass blocks is a different topic, it will not look different after the upgrade because it will turn into bulletproof glass which is exactly looking like invulnerable glass.)

I believe forged invulnerable steel should be on your inventory not on toolbelt in order to upgrade. I'll test after I publish latest version of the mod. However, if there is a such thing, it could be because of native issue. Anyway, we will see soon.

BTW, please fix your message. It is unnecessarily long because of repeats.

Guys and Gals, Welcome to the 2022! Wishing Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone!
I just made big change on mod structure. Also added some little QoL and fun extras.
Now this is not a modlet that includes everything, it is a compilation of 18 modlets.
Check below descriptions to learn what's included in them.
If anything doesn't suit your taste, just delete its folder from ~/Mods folder.
If you want what you deleted back, just open the archive and put it back into ~/Mods folder.

Hello,



special_things_06_blocks_b Does not work and bug my game, I tested the mod alone but it does not change anything it also bugs

My game works well in A20

 

[hsngrms]

Hello @noname835

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't have such problem when I tested it but I'll surely look into it again.

Please share what error you get. You can also share logs from game folder.

Edit: I tried 3 times again. Loaded old save, created new game 2 times. No problem so far. That wall is made from invulnerable steel and glass blocks:

 

[noname835]

 

Excuse me, I just saw that it was necessary to have 'special_things_00_basics' Now it works.

 

[hsngrms]

That's nice, glad you solved the issue Enjoy the mod and game and please consider taking your time to share your thoughts after playing for a while. Thanks you.

 

[suto2200]

i tried your new set of modlets, a new world, deleted character info and tried a new world, i had forged invulnerable steel in my bar and inventory, tried every weapon and tool and still doesnt work idk what the issue is

 

[HYper]

Thank you so much for the kind comment.

Everything started with modifying admin weapons (I was like "why MP5 is a admin digger, why not the nailgun"), then I wanted invulnerable blocks and the rest came in time.

A simple modlet evolved into what it is today. That's true it is not as big as overhaul mods but, it is still big for me, I never imagined I'd do that, never imagined I'd spend many hours for this modlet.

i tried your new set of modlets, a new world, deleted character info and tried a new world, i had forged invulnerable steel in my bar and inventory, tried every weapon and tool and still doesnt work idk what the issue is

If you are not getting any red error message from console while using my mod, everything should be working as expected. Even the logs won't be any help because you don't get any error, right? I think you would told me already if you were getting red error msg. So, based on this, I have a final set of proposals.

Spoiler

1. Please check integrity of your game files via Steam. Not sure but, it might help. I know some players had problems after upgrading A20 because they didn't deleted ~\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie folder before starting upgrade.

2. Open 7dtd. Create a new game. Choose Navezgane to not waste time with world generation.

3. Do not enable "Creative Mode" in the settings while creating the game.

4. When your new game loads, press F1 to open console

5. write "cm" and close the console

6. Press "U" to open Creative Menu

7. Add some invulnerable steel shapes into your inventory.

8. Add some forged invulnerable steel into your inventory.

9. Add special claw hammer into your inventory.

10. Press F1 to open console

11. Write "cm" and close the console. Make sure it says "Creative Mode disabled."

12. Open inventory, put some invulnerable steel shapes into your toolbelt.

13. Don't put any forged invulnerable steel into your toolbelt. Keep them in your inventory.

14. Now place an invulnerable steel shape on somewhere.

15. Choose special claw hammer and try upgrading the block you just placed.

16. If it becomes an ordinary steel block, congratulations! If not, that means we have a very interesting problem here and I don't know what else to do.

Please do exactly as I say in spoiler above and do it step by step. Thanks for your cooperation.

I'm looking forward to hear your feedback!

(Took more than 10 minutes to write this message LOL)

 

[HYper]

tried it, its nice, got me the special axe now to see its "special"-ty lol...

dang, you never mentioned its op end game item? lol... crafted special axe at level 5 haha..

... yeah, think i need to play your mod with maybe darkness falls haha..

 

[hsngrms]

Yea, you might call special items OP, however, I prefer to call them QoL items.

I know such items are not very welcomed by hardcore players because these are making the game easier.

But that doesn't change the fact my aim was never making a mod that suitable for everyone.

My aim is

1. Bringing a fun gameplay for casual players where you can both have fun and get scared time to time.

2. Providing powerful options to server admins, so they can create their own outpost, trading hub, zombie version of jurassic park etc. without worrying about its vulnerability.

If someone new to the game and genre plays 7dtd with my mod, at least they can survive more than 5 mins and learn mechanics while enjoying a great crafting survival game which is not looking like minecraft.

Also, I put both vanilla and specials in my toolbelt, I make my bases half normal half invulnerable, with doing so I enjoy the toughness of vanilla game but at the same time I still feel relaxed. E.g. at horde night I can die or side walls of my base can collapse but, knowing the precious resources I collected for hours will still be safe in their invulnerable boxes is enough for me enjoy the game without any stress.

(Though there is always a risk of collapse unless you dig down to the bedrock and that's enough of a fear to my taste. )

agree with responses.  it does make game fun. 

i'm personally looking now for more zombies mod, seeing kinda empty area starting new game kinda boring to me and added with the mod for me made it too easy, hence my comment but i def like the mod since some items does take progression and time to make.

 

[hsngrms]

Thanks @HYper and glad you think alike.

Actually what you said gave me an idea about making more zombie spawns but one thing about 7dtd is driving me off of this idea, which is more zombies = lower performance, thus IDK yet if i add such modlet or not. We'll see.

(Frankly, I just don't want users telling me their server/game performance decreased after installing my modlets. I intend to keep it lightweight.)

yes, ah yeah good point, i just tried with war3uk mod along with yours and the lag is insane, haha.. i did add your mod to my current other playthrough (where i'm at level 43, still to discover wasteland so perfect time to use the mod)
