What mod is she using to stack a book pile AND a potted plant on top of furniture like that?

That's the RWG Preview. While it is a useful map, it isn't the same as the in-game map, which will show the mining nodes and other things. It sounded like the OP already was looking at this kind of map, but wanted the more detailed map, which evolves as you play.

My understanding is the map isn't pre-generated so there's nothing to show. That is, as you explore the world and the chunks load, the game is deciding which of the decorations (ore nodes, trees, etc) to place. Since the in-game map displays that detail, it cannot exist prior to your visit...

Adventurer - Mostly because I don't like bullet sponge zombies 60 Minute Days 18 Hour Days (sometimes 16 Hour Days) Jars: 100% XP: 100% Loot: 100% Mods: Farming - I put the "plant once" farming back. The "mini-game" Vanilla farming is fine; I just don't want to spend the time managing it. Food...

I lean heavily on a friend who gets much deeper into hardware and performance than I do. His advice has been desktop over laptop for gaming. He cites video cards for laptops being more constrained and limited, often because of heat. The CPU matters and since many games cannot take advantage of...

That could be. I was putting the condition on the action itself as there could be more after the waitalive and I didn't necessarily want to prevent other actions, like sounds. If TFP had any interest in this, I think it was Faatal who developed the minscripts feature and their take on the best...

Since I think TFP controls the implementation of the minscript feature as well as the miscripts themselves, and since they have a new interest in giving players options, they could put an option into the game "No Zombies Waves" and then add a command (or commands) to the minscript feature that...

I was mistaken. Minscripts are in the XML. These are from base_military_01.xml ... <property name="SVS47" value="spawn GroupZomSoldier 5^waitalive 2^spawn GroupZomSoldier 5"/> <property name="SVS40" value="spawn GroupZomSoldier 5^waitalive 2^spawn GroupZomBadass 5"/> <property name="SVS39"...

I'll take your word for it on the cartridge games. The last I saw one was in a pawn shop, but I know folks like vinyl records and other older technologies too. (I still have a working Timex Sinclair.) What I was getting at wasn't entirely the speculative nature of the industry related to player...

While you can certainly look fondly upon them as "the good old days", software project failure rates were pretty high then too. I'm not well versed on the game industry trends specifically, but based on my experiences as being a software developer through those years my speculation is that you...

I won't be able to look until tonight, but I don't recall minscripts being in the POI XML.

I might not remember correctly, but I thought Faatal said they were hoping to open up more variety in the Trader's quest offerings so they allowed it to look further away from the trader for some of the selections. The idea being you would get fewer repeat missions. It may have the effect of...

Yes, my observation as well is that I gravitate to the first three quests because they're close. I do appreciate having 7 choices, but when you combine travel and perhaps a full inventory when returning, distance is a strong determinant. Perhaps: On the Tier 1 quest screen, show 5 local and 2...

The translations are in the game's Localization.txt file. On my system, that file is found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Config The first line of the file describes the format for the rest of the lines...

The Descent is the name of the mod. It is neat, and POIs integrated with it still work even when the Descent is not loaded, so I have added support for it into my POI modlet. It is pretty cool the first few times you go down into the caves, but from my observation there's not usually a...
