    Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

    I too have found some tools hard to find, though in my current game I had no problems finding everything quickly BUT a pair of calipers. I think the key is going to the poi's likely to have what you are looking for (the image below may be obsolete as it goes back to a19). Most of the time I've...

    A20 (experimental) Farming could be better, here is my suggestion

    I find the new farming mechanic...a step backward...compared to a19 (which was a bit OP in retrospect). Seems like TFP tried to nerf it, and went a bit further than needed (for fun that is). For reference I think you need 2 mushrooms and 2 corn in the veg stew recipe (which I think is a mid...

    PC Loot: The Inversion Principle

    On the surface I'd agree there is a place for such a loot tree. Presuming a narrative of 'it just happened'. Combined with a 'you learn how to find/identify stuff with experience'. Early: Plenty of pre-fall goods, improvised tools/weapons/armor (only preppers were ready, some turned, some were...

    PC Stairs versus Ramps (is one more effective for zombie pathing?)

    Final update from me. -found the ramps work about the same as the small stairs (no surprise), but the layout of the path is important (a half pyramid does not work as well as a tiered pyramid with access from all four sides [too complicated to explain, so not going to, just try out different...

    PC Stairs versus Ramps (is one more effective for zombie pathing?)

    Using A19.6. I am trying to identify if making ramps or stairs will work better with zombie pathing. Specifically I am noticing some zombies cannot seem to navigate stairs well (specifically the large tourist zombie and variants thereof), plus the bears seem to not like ramps, spinning around...

    PC Horde XP farming contraption idea (mostly cheese)

    Final update: -implemented the original plan, was fun, but I discovered that by the time I had a generator and all the other electrical devices my game stage had advanced to where melee was not the best strategy (with higher difficulty or horde numbers a wave drags on past 4 am quickly and you...

    PC Is there an Aim Assist or similar in the game?

    I do not know if aim-assist is in this game or not, but I have managed rifle headshots when my crosshairs are 'next' to a zombies head (ie: hoard night or trigger panic).  Either I got lucky and the bullets 'drift' was in my favor or perhaps the weapon mods and perks add up to achieve aim assist...

    Is it possible to set the writeable storage container as the default storage container shape?

    I searched the xml files to see if the player crafted storage container had a list of shapes (including the "writeable" version) and could not find it.  My search on the forums came up short too. The objective is to make the "Writeable" shape the default shape for the player created storage...

    PC Horde XP farming contraption idea (mostly cheese)

    Finished watching the videos from the wiki, informative. AND circuit: requires a relay between sequential triggers. OR circuit: just daisy chain the triggers. Electric Doors/Hatches are closed without power and opened with power, so have to mount those the correct way (to wall face) to get...

    Ideas for the interface

    Just some thoughts I had on the interface (random ideas). Crafting (Unlock page) - Unlock page currently only shows the parent skill (and/or book), could also indicate the level of a required skill to unlock the item.  Example: to unlock minibike would show "Grease Monkey (2)", motorcycle would...

    PC Block loose life : don"t understand

    Do buildings 'decay' in 7dtd?  If so, it could be that. My horde base (single player) is within my LCB zone, and my stash bunker has a bedroll, so perhaps that is helping keep things at full health for me.  I think both are keeping the Z's from spawning inside as well, so no strays to hit stuff.

    Feature Request: map should have labels/markers for some buildings/POI's

    Not sure where to place this, so... I was thinking the Navisgane map should have POI markers for some buildings you have been close to (same range as the view distance circle for the map reveal maybe), like the Traders, Police Stations, Pass-N-Gas, Pop-N-Pills, Crack-A-Book, etc.  Not the...

    Possible bug: POI quest resets after reload (Navesgane; single player)

    I did a cursory search and did not see this in the known bugs list or this forum, so... I have on two occasions had to save and exit mid way through a POI quest (retrieval or clearing) and when I reloaded the save the quest was reset.  By reset I mean the rally point marker is back like I never...

    PC Dual Door placement query (cosmetic)

    Alrighty then, looks like there is a way for wood and iron, but steel vault hatches has a lot of clipping (the frames are thicc!). I must have rotated past the correct flipped/rotated variant in my attempts. Thanks all, and extra thanks to @Data for the video (way above call).

    PC Horde XP farming contraption idea (mostly cheese)

    @theFluThank you for the clarification.  That first example is counter to what I would have expected. I see that relays function differently than I thought, they act a little as switches as well as hubs.  Seems there is a passive power flow with plates that I was unaware of. Will have to watch...
