5 Land Claim Blocks Needed, Gyrocopter Mapping

[Joberg15]

Hello All,

I have really enjoyed this game for years and am loving the new features.

However, i do feel like only allowing 3 land claim blocks for a game strongly encouraging progression through 5 different biomes is something that was not thought through very well. 5 land claim blocks would not OP me as a player and would make me actually try to build a decent base in the 2 biomes that i had to abandon once done with the progression.

My other request is that i feel that when you use the gyrocopter it should reveal much of the map as you explore while flying. The gyrocopter is a very late game piece of tech, so i feel like this would not be an issue with making the player OP where at late game i would like to just be able to map out the areas especially if I've already explored them.

If anyone has a good reason for why these things should not be considered i would love to hear them.

They just should add option like with jars (with the amount of claim blocks from 1 to 5)

If you're on PC or have a PC host or server, the number of land claims is a setting in the serverconfig.xml file in the game folder. Beyond that, you can have 3 by default per player, which can mean a lot of land claims for multiplayer. Also, if you are moving your base to every biome (I don't see why anyone would do that, but it's fine if you want to), you don't need to keep a land claim at your old bases. Just remove it or let the game disable it automatically when you make more than 3 land claims. The only real reason it's needed is for moving stuff around. If you don't need to move stuff, there's no reason to have it still active in an old base that you're not using anymore. Also, you can easily just keep replacing them to rotate through your bases if you need to. They are cheap, so it's not even an issue with cost to do so.

For reference, they plan on an update that will include a lot of additional game options. The number of land claims may be one of those options at that point.

I move bases with each trader tier completion. 10 quests per biome then move to the next. Even doing it the way i do there is no need for so many land claim blocks. You really only need enough space for a forge, workbench, campfire and 3-4 storage chests until you reach the wasteland for your good looking perma base.

I would love if the gyro revealed more of the map though, perhaps going high enough grants a full map reveal? Guarantee pvp players would hate it.

I edited my hexadecimal number so I can have 25 land claims, because, like you, I felt 3 (or even 5) was not enough. I play mostly solo, or with just 2-3 friends.

Edit, see this thread for the files.

On a server? Looks right.

Single player? No, that won't work. Most of that file is not used for SP. You'll need to find this key in the registry and change it

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\The Fun Pimps\7 Days To Die\LandClaimCount_h3672927595

or use a mod like KHaines spawns and claims (something like that)

Welp, that would explain it then, lol. I'll have to wait till my friend comes on discord, so he can walk me through that process. Thanks for the help.

Just out of curiosity, how many LCB are allowed by default in single player?
