I'll see what I can do. Since they introduced weapon mods, not sure about the quality, but I'm thinking that maybe if mods and base work together reasonably well, I may be able to abstract higher quality and make it act somewhat like Ark does for the various quality levels, but with mod...

Once something more stable than this thing they call "stable" is released, we shall see. If progression.xml is anything like it was in A16, just adjusted for A17, then it's entirely feasible. I converted A16's progression to be more like A15, minus the spamcrafting, and it worked quite well. I'm...

The problem with spending points gained via XP vs. LBD (learn by doing) isn't just about progression. If you're playing SP and have maxed day length, and you don't want to feel pressured to hunt zombies just to get better at mining, building, crafting, or be capable of making stations to...

You're completely missing the point. Of course people want to kill zombies in a zombie game. But many people feel that if you do something else, like wrench apart a car, you should get better at wrenching apart cars. You shouldn't spend hours killing zombies to get better at wrenching apart...

Back in the day, books were sought after. In multiplayer games, people would trade books for gear or food. Books created a barter system out of necessity. Their removal, though obvious and inevitable, was still a sad thing to see. In A14 and prior, you could read books more than once, and gain...

The fact of the matter is that some people on these forums would defend TFP's decisions regardless of what they did. They could remove mod support, or even voxels, and some people would be fine with that.

I remember caves. I remember caverns. I remember underground lakes. I remember getting lost in underground caves and caverns and inter-linked tunnels. Those were the days.

Gonna be nearly impossible, at least from an outside standpoint, to see those numbers, since Steam changed what data and how much data they reveal to the public, most likely in response to GDPR regulations, which went into effect this year (2018). So A17 is basically safe from information...

Here's some fun numbers to play around with. Unfortunately, because of the way things changed in Steam this past year, and the way Steamspy now requires donations in order to view any relevant data, these numbers won't show up for 2019, or any date after June 2018, but... Apr 2018 - Owners...

I gave 7DTD a positive review in A15. I enjoyed it and played many hours with my girlfriend. I just changed that review to negative because I no longer play the game, nor does my girlfriend. We barely played any A16, because we didn't like the direction things were going. When I wrote the...

What if instead of attributes only unlocking perks, they actually provided a bonus? Like strength increase would increase damage in melee, agility increase would increase ranged damage, intelligence increase would increase crafting speed. And actual perks stay limited by attribute level, but...

Of course in your typical RPG, kiling mobs is the only way to level up, but again, those don't have base building or crafting, and looting is simply a means of getting better gear or something to sell so you can buy better gear. The whole system would need to be overhauled to fit with this type...

I'm not going to go into all the clutter of various threads praising or damning the new level gating system, which is just a revamp of the old level gating system, which was just a revamp of the book gating system. Instead, I'd like to discuss how other games do it, and compare those to how...

No. I don't know what will be in A18, but supposedly it will be the last alpha, at which point they will only be fixing bugs. The list of things they talked about adding, showed concepts of, and even added temporarily into the game, but ultimately became non-features (or allegedly postponed)...

TFP talked about taming, animal husbandry (livestock), and live trapping long ago. Like many of the things they talked about (taming), showed concepts of (saddle bags for wolves and bears), and even showed proof of concepts of (ziplines), these things likely won't make it into 7DTD. But...
