Like so many of us, I came here to read discussions about 2.6 exp. Maybe find out about bugs or new changes or even things players liked about it. Instead, I get 19 pages of vitriol and off-topic rants that make it difficult to find the useful posts. Sheesh. Thanks to @4sheetzngeegles for...

I guess it sort of depends on what you're used to. Compare the laptop specs to whatever you play on now, as well as against the "minimum specs" for 7dtd. Before I upgraded my entire PC, I went from an onboard graphics card to a dedicated one (used, and this was several years ago) and I saw a...

When I was first starting out, I didn't realize zombies did damage to blocks. or that you could repair them. I built a simple shooting platform with cobblestone legs and thought "That's great. I'm ready". But on horde night, the zeds broke through the legs and I came tumbling down.

I assume you mean you want to add new animals to the game and not just spawn more of the ones that are already in? I would start by finding a mod that does something similar (like the one that adds baby animals) and examine that. See what they've done and see if you can replicate it with the...

Lately, I've been playing with a Hybrid LBD/LBR mod and I really enjoy it. To me, it makes sense that reading a book or magazine will help teach me things. It also makes sense that doing things will make me better at them. So gaining some points in Mining by mining, or in Cooking by cooking...

Rain seems to be really random in this game. I've gone 20 days in this playthrough with storms at 100% and only had to deal with rain about 5 times. In previous alphas you could ignore it, but with the temperature changes, you need to arm yourself with a torch or flaming weapon in order to stay...

I also usually build a fighting position on the roof of a cleared POI, with a ramp or stairs leading to it so I can melee or shoot.

First, a little reality. Arizona is currently in a water shortage due to climate change and overuse. Reservoirs are at drastically low levels and normal supply will be cut by 30% in 2026. Unless action is taken it will only get worse. My thoughts on water in the game: So, with nuclear strikes...

Not much of a modder, but I imagine it wouldn't be too complex to create a mod that changes the burbing/vomitting noises of the cops and tourist to a standard zombie sound and either mods cops out or eliminates their spewing. Not sure if it could all be done in XML or not, but I think so.

In Arizona, most of the pine forest areas are at altitudes of 4000ft or higher. During winter, they can even get snow. So, yeah going from 70F to 50F is not uncommon.

I thought that XML based mods worked when you have consoles connecting to a server and the server hosting the mods. Am I wrong?

This might just be a level thing. I always feel like I'm weak and wimpy when I start a new game after playing a higher level character for a while. But, no, I have not noticed it being abnormally different than past alphas.

I wonder if Daring Adventurer, which opens up "better" items at the trader would have an effect on whether a beaker would be available for purchase or in quest rewards?

Well, since second week of month could end on the 14th, I stand by my statement. When you're dividing a month into two, you do it in the middle. You *could* divide it into 3, 4 or even 5 by that's not what was stated by the OP. He specifically stated early and late.

I would assume that Early December means before the 15th and Later December means after the 15th. Why cut December in two at the 10th? It makes no sense.
