On the wildlife topic, I was just out at Yellowstone a couple weeks ago shortly after it reopened. In just 3 days, multiple bear and bison attacks were reported. Now there's a 100% chance it's because people were being REALLY stupid and getting close, but the bears aren't going to run at you in...

Now that just immediately made me think of zombie squirrels. The forest would never be safe again.

Now I'm picturing Roland showing up to teach a lesson in division.

Well, regarding the silly idea of electromagnetic storms screwing up electronics, you'd just build your vehicle or generators with magnetos and shield your spark plug cables. Or even better, build a compression ignition engine (simple diesel engine) without all the electronics. Once it's...

I'm admittedly a little late to this one, but just got caught up. I think a better idea would be a chance of the AOE knockdown like the Sledgehammer perk when they hit the ground.

Careful, you say that, someone might start talking panties again 😄

Well, until someone mentioned in this thread about making cans of oil, I never knew that it was even possible to craft them... and that's with about 2000 hours in game. That's because I never had an issue looting or salvaging more than sufficient oil for repair kits, so had never even looked to...

Actually, I believe someone proposed a much more fleshed out version of this in the A17 thread, even the trader POI upgrading as you bring back materials in further quests. That brought up the issues of how, if, and when the POI could be changed, and having that propagate to all players if...

I would think the sewer/storm drainage systems would be one of the go to hiding spots early outbreak, all your concrete walls premade and far more hidden than holing up in a building already full off infected. You'd probably find several early survivor bases, that last at least to the first...

I'm not sure with the dedicated server side, but on the client side that stuff is no longer in the Steam directory (Linux, the new folder was at the same level as the Steam directory. Windows, at the same level as the Saves folder)

On Windows, it's now in a folder called "Generated Worlds" in the same directory as the saves folder. On Linux, I believe my brother said it created a new directory called 7DaysToDie right in the same place his Steam directory is.

Good seeds: We found a couple, but I can't seem to post the screenshots right now, I'll try to add them later. Both are 8k maps. PopcornPrince (Island, mostly forest with a lot of cities in a big horseshoe) UGalAMioSPaZitY (Island, more challenging. lot of cities all running together, but...

Until yesterday, I'd have agreed with you. But yesterday I got hit with an infection that lasted about twenty four hours in game dropping into infection 3 and the "Low health" warning a couple times, depleting much of my stockpiled medicines as I watched the timers on everything and kept taking...

Only time I'd seen that was in 16.4 where my computer literally just went dead (had to replace it shortly thereafter), but apparently it was in the process of editing the data of my current chunk that half of my base was in. So the world automatically rebuilds that bit (literally about half the...

You know, I'd previously have been all for it, until in one of our recent games where we had taken over the "Bear Trap" as a base. At night getting stuff done, and I turn around and see my brother stripped down to his skivvies in one of the cages doing about the best rendition of twerking you...
