Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

Will V4.02-DEV-B6 be the "final version" of V4.02 or could more be added to it before it is finalized?  Basically asking if the "dev" part means there is still current work on it.

 
@KhaineGB I really enjoyed DF . My question is if you are gonna do another mode with a different theme ?


 I did Romero Mod too. Otherwise no, not really.

Right now, i'm hoping B6 is the last.

I was waiting for compo pack to be done but it's taking too long.

 
I'm doomed, or can some players save me? I played this save game (as adventurer, which should be easy) at least since b3 (now b6), built two wonderful bases, did 45 quests for Jen and enough scout quest to be sent to Anna. So far so good, but now I am constantly dying in the army lab. The demons there are killing me faster than I could drink :)  

I am now level 137, found a laser pistol, could craft a coil pistol, a coil carabine and titan gear. Still too weak, with no chance of getting a laser workbench, and Jen offers none since forever. When I get a screamer or a horde, I can only hope to flee, which is near to impossible in buildings.  Any ideas how to progress, or am I really doomed?

    Hello, can I put your assembly on the server to play with friends 3-5 people? Or is your mod only for singleplayer?

When you don't like to sneak and pickup single demon's out of the group with the crossbow/bow.

You should at last take some building mat's with you.

Create doorway's with beton, put a iron hatch (or just place another beton) on it that you can open which basicly block the doorway.

That should give you time to shoot with the laser pistol first to stop the demonic regeneration and then kill them with the coilweapons. Robotic turret's can give you extra DPS too.

Surpressor's help's that you don't wake the whole lab and lower the screamer chance. Don't forget to close the first doorway, so they can't enter the lab.

There are serveral video's how people did the lab solo.

Yes, you can play multiplayer.

But EVERYONE needs it. You cant just yeet it on a server and have people connect.

 
Some questions again:

1) How do I stop Demon health regeneration? 

2) Is there a way to get protection against fire somehow? Can't approach any Demons currently (lvl 118).

Have a water purifier mod for helmet and 125 murky water in inventory.  Plenty of bandages.. When there are alot behind door sometimes they morph through..I killed a couple with laser sword.  for the upper level I made a small maze and run out of POI to pull them out to surface and picked off 1 by 1.  At lower levels I built downward facing U shape and upper U shape around the door with sledge turret in middle and 2 robotic on each side using darts..also to knock of regen I used Porkins shotgun...screamer shows up when you generate too much heat blasting away...random hordes are part of the game..I can be mining and all of the sudden a horde jumps me or in the middle of a POI

At first, you should try to search function, like searching for demon or regen/regeneration.

Snowbee made fantastic VT video's about Darkness falls, maybe useful hints and explantations.

1) How do I stop Demon health regeneration? 
Use a laser weapon. You should have found a laser pistol or laser sword by the time. 1 shoot with the pistol to stop the regen, then kill the demon with your favoured weapon.

Legendary weapons can stop the regeneration too.

If you maybe manage it to get a laser workbench, Laser battery mod.

2) Is there a way to get protection against fire somehow? Can't approach any Demons currently (lvl 118).
Power armor give you currently a restistance against it. With the latest dev build an immunity.

My current solution, water purifier at the helm and a stack of murky water at the quickslot next to bandages.

1) Laser or legendary weapon.

2) Ablative armor mod or power armor.

Okay, tough spot to be in for sure. SnowBee has some DF vids that you may find helpful.

If your goal is to get the laser workbench you can make multiple attempts at getting to the last area (the red door zone). Don't activate the lab quest either, unless your game stage is high enough that quest zeds are lower level than random zeds (it can happen; I have had POI's that were full of stronger zeds before I reset the POI for a quest).

  • Once you enter the lab, shut the hatch and the first keyed door (blue key I think) to keep any zeds from getting in behind you.
  • Go slow, have a plan for falling back if needed
  • Running away is a viable option, fallback behind a keyed door, heal, reload, try again.
  • place the water and healing items on your belt in a way that you can QUICKLY access them while RUNNING away and navigating doorways. I use the last 5 slots for this as [shift] is used when running, thus pressing 5 while running (shift+5) brings up water, then pressing 4 (shift+4) brings up my primary weapon and 3 (shift+3) brings up my laser weapon.
  • start the raid EARLY (like 4am early)
  • Bring multiple stacks of med kits, med bandages and pain killers (as much as you can). Top up your health as needed after a fight.
  • Do not bother looting until you are ready to leave. Keep you inventory light so you can move fast.
  • Bring stacks of fruit juice as well (or anything with a 30+ hydration stat). Use murky water with the purifier helmet mod to extinguish the flames, then use the fruit juice to hydrate (as needed). Drinking murky water is slow to hydrate.
  • Put points into the perk that increases wellness and max health. Going in with 100 health is futile.
  • Bring at least a laser pistol and a few hundred power cells to disable the demon regen from a distance.
  • Use stealth when you can.
  • Use AP ammo. It ignores more armor and penetrates. No downside.
  • Bring a crazy amount of ammo with you. Three thousand AP coil rounds should be enough. This is not the time to be miserly with ammo.
  • Mod up the carbine/etc with blessed metal (extra damage), mag extender (reload less), armor shredder, anti-rad and then whatever you want.
  • make sure you go in with fresh weapons and maybe a repair kit or two, just in case


If they are all awake and rushing the red doors on the lowest level wait for them to break the blocks above the door (or do it yourself), then shoot from the stairs above through the small opening.

  • alternate between laser and coil carbine fire from above.
  • zap a clip of laser fire into the mass, then hose a few clips of coil carbine into the mass. Aim when you can to focus fire on one at a time.
  • you will still get set on fire but you can reduce their numbers 'safely'


when ready, use the rapid open/close method (ie: double press E) to let a couple zeds into your kill zone and keep the rest behind the door while you kill the ones that squeezed in

  • if you use this method back up the stairs and run away as needed to stay alive and reload while running away (then turn and finish them off). Remember to laser zap the demons with the red fire at least once as soon as you can. If the stairs get damaged you can make repairs to ensure you have an exit (you have frames...right?).


(cheese it) if you have a laser sword, you can just stand back from the door and cut anything that clips through (if TFP cannot or will not fix clipping then use it as a 'feature'). You'll still be set on fire, but you can handle that quick enough.

once you clear out the first batch more will come from the gate room in back (about every 60 seconds or so), so, be ready to run (or sneak) to the open set of red doors at the back of the hall to unlock, then finally close them, this will cut off the flow

finally, unlock the middle door to access the laser workbench, killing the zeds inside. And if you made it this far and only now realize you did not bring the supplies to make the laser workbench, then you did what I did.

 
Call me confused.

Long story short.

I am driving in a marauder which HAS A SOLID roof and yet the flying f**ks can get to me througha solid roof

Not my vehicle so not my problem 😛

But the game just registers vehicles as "attached" to the player

 
Can someone please help me with a modlet that will not update? It says to update, I click update, but it doesn't update. I think it is the problem that is causing me not to be able to play DF. It's the 0-XNPCCore by Xyth. I've tried uninstalling DF, 7D2D itself, and deleted all saved worlds and pretty much everything to do with the game. I've tried updating the launcher itself as well. Nothing is working. Any ideas? Thank you for your time.

Hmm strange. We didn’t adjust any difficulty settings. I’ll dig around in the configs. But day 53 and we’ve but but PLENTY of times (200 deaths between us) and zero infections.

Appreciate the response, and thanks again for an awesome mod!


Same issue here, it is our first time through Darkness Falls. I believe we left it on default difficulty and changed very few things.

We are running Darkness Falls 4 from 12 March 2022 (DarknessFallsA20.zip) and 7days Alpha 20.3 (b3).

I'm playing with 4 people, we are a variety of classes (2 classes each so far and no double-ups), I get hit pretty often and die occasionally but haven't gotten infected in weeks, possibly since the start of the game but I can't be certain.

If you know which files the %chance to get infected is defined let me know and I can check ours also.

 
Playing at SP and MP with the latest stable (4.01) with warrior difficult.

All of us geting infection from time to time, depend how often you get hit, that why someone carry some antibiotika/honey all the time.

Khaine allready mention, the chance for an infection depend on the difficult. When you play with adventure difficulty, you might get less infected then with warrior.

Edit: are you all maybe on perma-vitamine effect to raise your wellness? That prevent infections.

Is it possible for the demon zombie fireball to decapitate you? I'm asking because in the big bunker I had still over 200 hp(with power armor) and I died after a incubus fireball hit me in the head.
