I started a permadeath game on Survivalist, blood moon every 3 nights and 64 Zombies blood moon count. Day 9 blood moon I had like 3-4 dire wolves. Day 12 my base got demolished and I died. There were vomiting cops and ferals all over the place. I had not played in some time and that  kind of...

Just yesterday I was starting a new playthrough on permadeath/insane and got an infection and day 1.... I ran to the woods and spend about 6 in game hours chopping stumps and found about 3-4 honey and was able to stop my infection. Something seems off with Op's numbers. I am playing the latest...

I hoard shotgun ammo as I will eventually end up building a shotgun auto turret and this will eat all my unused ammo. In early game I might use diverse ammo types depending on what guns I loot, but I wont go out of my way to use them. Otherwise I typically just sell ammo I do not need. Scrapping...

I agree that most base designs you see nowadays tend to always work kind of the same and that is a bit of a shame. However I'd still say that what we have now is an improvement over what we had back in A16.  Before the zombie AI update, all my horde base designs were pretty much big...

You have no specific goals beside survival. That is why I call it a Sandbox survival, rather than Sandbox crafting or whatever.  The sandbox aspect is not limited to the default gameplay, the variety of settings and the modability is a huge part of it. 

You make it go where you want with house rules, role play, settings and mods. That is how I always played it.  If you ask me, In the simplest of words 7dtd is a Sandbox survival game. Those are the two core things that it has always been.

In case TFP never implement your suggestion, here is what I do to "get around" that issue without going into the settings in mid-game, which as you said is clunky and immersion breaking.    If my horde base is not ready for the first BM. And it usually isn't,  I just do the blood moon in a...

like others have said, it is just a lucky roll on the loot dice that made your early days easier regarding how you manage thirst. But it quickly becomes irrelevant.  Edit : But I do agree that getting it too early can kill the mood a little bit.  My favourite early games are always the ones...

How long do you typically play the same map ? 

I've been playing this game since A12. Played every Alpha versions since and it is the same story every time. I can't remember an Alpha release that did not have a vocal minority complaining how this or that change is ruining the game.  

I don't know how we could get reliable stats. Admittedly I said that without actual backing numbers but I would bet you a mega crush that 7DTD have significantly more mod users than most games. Maybe not as much as Skyrim though.   The catch here is that what I meant by "active players" are the...

 That is close to my take on it. They made the game highly customizable and moddable. A large portion of the active players use mods.  I see vanilla as a base platform that players can tweak and if all the settings are not enough, then mod. The game was designed to be like this and I think it...

Hmm sounds like challenge !!  Play out there in the woods and never go to a trader or cities. I like that. The new map generation tools of A21 should help with that. Make a wilderness friendly map. Maybe you are only allowed to loot POI outside of towns because the towns are contaminated and...

 But they don't want to loot buildings. They want to stay as far away as as possible from any signs of civilization.  They want to chop wood, quarry rocks, harvest leather. Then Invent and build rocket launchers from scratch.   /s

Thanks, I submitted the bug report as instructed.  Also, I am sorry but I do not see the big red banner. On my end I get this blue one instead.
