Every build besides 17 I did this on.

Well IMO A17 was the worst and best version due to various reasons, and this would explain why. I think every version needs that special attention and special touch by Madmole himself for it to be a killer update! :)

 
I'm obviously not familiar with how things work under the hood but giving POI zeds a higher priority than zeds in the wild, and despawning the farthest zeds in the wild once you enter a POI until there's enough free slots for sleepers doesn't seem too much of a hassle to fix that cheese.


This would be a very interesting playthrough and a mod idea i'd love to give a try. A 4K map would probably be enough but there's a ton of RWG work at hand to make it feel nice and tight (spread out POIs in the outskirts, and spawn more and more POIs/towns the closer to 0,0 you are, with 0,0 being the only city of the map where the endgame lies).

@Madmole how likely is the 4th of october ? We're planning to do a full week-end LAN party playing 7 Days with my friends, but I have 2 kids that would need to stay over by their grandparents. It would kinda suck organizing the whole thing if it ends up postponed again ^^

If you're gonna do a weekend party playing then you'll have 5 days notice after it comes out for us on a MONDAY..... Only the streamers get it Friday.

Ewwwwww why would you not want zombies outside while clearing a POI? That would just dull the game down. I want the threat of outside zombies hearing me clear a POI. The game is a bit easy as is, if anything add more zombies outside, especially in cities! :)

 
My last Question for the day before i drive you crazy do you think There will be new Guns added like The M16 model , a Full auto shotgun or any thing else and Will Mods for Weapons Tools and Armor become Visible?

Maybe.

 
In A19 i think it'd be cool to change punching dismemberment to limb/neck breaking, meaning the neck/limb would just ragdoll and go limp. Obviously that's instant death to the neck. It would be a cool distinction between blades dismembering and blunts breaking.

Not for zombies. Down the road I want to add an option to where only head trauma can kill a zombie.

 
I've noticed quite less of those small surface boulder nodes in your videos. (The ones that give you raw iron, stone, and usually lead, coal, and/or nitrate.) Have their spawn rates been reduced? It makes sense, since mining is a lot easier, but still, I thought I'd try to get a good scoop on this. :p

Prime: What are you talking about? This is not a ****ing piece of evidence! This is a person! He's a friend of mine, and you're not going to bury him in the ****ing garden.Roland: He was killed serving Project 7D2D, sir.

Prime: This is Mad Mole.

Kinyajuu: But in 7D2D, we have no names.

Prime: No, listen to me. This is a man and he has a name, and it's Mad Mole, okay?

Faatal: Mad Mole.

Prime: He is dead now, because of us, all right? You understand that?

[Everyone stares at Prime]

Faatal: I understand. In death, a member of 7D2D has a name. His name is Mad Mole.

Roland: His name is Mad Mole.

Prime: Stop it! Shut up!

All 7D2D Staff: His name is Mad Mole!

All 7D2D Staff (louder): His name is Mad Mole! His name is Mad Mole!

I really liked the video, it's nice you showed more aspects than just zombie killing.

Just one thing, which is really OCD inducing for me: Stamina is still always one digit less than the max cap. Are you planning to fix that in the future?

YES PLEASE PLEASE FIX the one less digit bug. God it is so annoying for us who have gaming OCD.

THIS ^^ I always wanted this option, sometimes killing a zombie with an arrow in the knee (See what I did there?) can be a little weird. Love this idea +100000

 
Razor wire = barbed wire on steroids. We need razor wire for those military installations and *ehem base defenses please

For romero purist, death only from head and no special zeds would be pure bliss. 😅
