Only 1 so far. This is my first 7dtd game since Alpha 20 (and only on day 7), so dew collectors are new to me. Got really lucky on day 2 and found the helmet filter mod so have been able to use all looted/dew-collected bottles for glue & an occasional tea. Expecting to add more collectors as I...

Just a couple thoughts on how to possibly control how high you jump, factoring in various max heights via Parkour. 1) Intuitive: hold down Space for as long as you want to be jumping Up; likely ok for single player games but likely not feasible for multiplayer due to network hiccups/delays. 2)...

Hey all, been gone a while but started a new game a couple weeks ago using a Nitrogen + Combopack 47 and I'm having a bit o difficulty. Still running a very old GPU (missed out buying a 1650 Super :( ) and there's one POI that's simply killing my frame rates...

That's an intriguing idea. Speed bumps being we currently can't craft lower than we've spec'd. MM kind of responded to this but as I recall he didn't definatedly state it would be changed, could be wrong. Another likely big one would be the large overlaps in stats. If they simply added a bit of...

STyK_ pic reminded me I keep thinking, "No Hugs! No Hugs!!" when the zeds come for me. So finally found a possible profile pic, heh.

One irreplaceable use for Lockpicks is opening up the Trader Safes. Other than that, and along with the loot changes for early game where there isn't as much point to opening safes, I save the ones I loot when there's room, but don't fret if there isn't. On Candies in general.. can kinda see...

@Solomon indeed. And unfortunately it gets worse the more you consider things. Taking just the visual clues, number of basically intact buildings, abandoned cars, what was barricaded, etc. The 'scene' isn't crystal clear but it does appear that a significant percentage of the populace...

My general take on "realistic" and "immersion" is basically this. Totally ok for game to be completely "un-realistic", but whatever they are doing, it -must- be self-consistent. If it isn't then it will break "immersion". In the particular case of 7dtd, TFPs chose to model the base world on the...

Likely already on the list; an anaconda sized, venom spitting rattlesnake. And I'd imagine with the designers super-camo-skill (I'd swear 1/3 of the zeds designs -begin- with a trashpile and they work from there) these monster snakes will blend in so well with the desert terrain that most of us...

Hey, does anybody know offhand what the minimum gamestage &/or secret stash need to be in order to possibly buy or loot an Auger? Edit: Might be reading the xmls wrong but I think, Augers aren't limited to just traders secrect stash (like turrets, solar cells & crucibles are) but also looks...

sad thing is, I'm not making errors to be funny, this is the best I can do... :Cry:

Everybodys a comedian!! 🤣 No question "to" vs. "too" is krytonite to me!  (and that's probably incorect too? or this... damnit!) Mega....!  'FileMachete' actually came from a discussion on these boards a long time ago (this is my second acct, first one went away when old email provider did bad...

@Kam R. I'm one of those that constantly struggles with spelling & grammar. Have my whole life. I was lucky and had a 5th grade teacher who could relate. He himself wasn't a natural born speller and one day recognized that a big part of the problem was that I was trying to force everything to...

Did I forget to mention it was Iced Texas Tea? Silly me 😇 --- Just did day 21 bloodmoon. When did Loot Bag drops get increased? It was nice to hear the 'jingle jingle' more frequently. Looted two nice items, a Q6 Pistol and a Q6 Swat Helmet. The Pistol was because I'd just crafted a Q3 one...

Posting about Poles will be Pulled. ... ya just cain't help yerself can yu? :biggrin1: thankfully we can still Post about Kittys and Pulled Pork. oh, and Iced Tea.. though that has nothing to do with others.. until you're done with them that is... (not a comment about the topic ban, it was...
