Haha lol that's epic. Now all you need is 80 friends to crash your server peeling out all at once!
Joel! We need the ability for a passenger to be able to shoot in the Jeeps.

Or imagine a squad of raider driving them to plow through your horde base...😂👍

 
While on bundling, can we have so we can make 7.62 ammo bundle when we can make bullets itself [recipe etc]. though it will be 100 resource, and when we read that Book for bundle, it then reduce it to 80. If not that idea, at least allow us to bundle loose bullets to bundle for management purpose?

Unlocking the bundles earlier is technically possible but then they don't do anything useful when you get them so... meh.

If they scale ingredients (which we can do now) then we'd have to explain why they do the same thing with a 2nd recipe and that's messy.

Doing that would be a super easy mod, though. =)

well...bm horde day 35 is over....Despite having half of my electrical fence grid not working (wiring issue), new SMG turret disabled (ammo not locked), and one dart trap not working (ammo not locked), I still steam rolled the horde lol...do I dare say my base will take on any horde? :p I might need up the max alive for more of a challenge lol....

Feral Wights started showing up and more cops but nothing I couldn't handle. :)

I will upload video later

I'd like to see decimals for everything in the stats. Armour rating, movement penalty, damages. Everything!

Example, Padded armour provides 7.8 armour rating, but the information we get is 7.

No more guessing, this would be a huge QoL change.

 
That was it! It was you I was thinking of but couldn't remember which block you said to try. My old brain must remember dirt block! I get this problem with almost every base build however it seems only one block per base that I can place nothing. I will try the dirt block next time....remember...dirt block.....dirt block...dirt block...I will remember. (I probably won't remember lol).

all other are understandable, but making Bullet bundle from lose by mod is not. I know it is just adding a recipe in XML and done, but I think this can go in core feature list, Maybe we can discuss it to be related to same book as of now, but it should be there. Just saying. No worries not a ground breaking feature anyways. Maybe just note somewhere if you have list of feature requests.

Just realized you can wrench working workstations to low health, get all the mats and it'll still work. Bit cheaty?

Side note, how'd u all stay awake when mining? Eyelids crazy heavy when I go down a dark hole.

Ask SnowDog.. He often goes down in dark holes!

 
Curious what your FPS for that screenshot. I dont know what's worse, the horde of jeeps or that massive tree farm..

50-60, the jeeps and trees don't really hit the fps that much, but I am running the game on low settings now. The one thing that did hammer my fps is trigger plates, I couldn't get over 10fps in the day 21 horde because the trigger plates really killed the performance. The tree farm was a lot bigger than that as well but I'm not responsible for hippy stuff like planting trees. I have a jeep farm to tend to!

That'd be good. Honestly, though, I'm a bit disappointed with the design of the jeep really. The exhaust design that wouldn't look out of place on a Honda Civic doesn't leave them any room to have an M60 mount in the back which would be a fantastic addition.

I'd settle for them taking off The snowplough thing on the front though. It doesn't do anything useful and makes no sense at all (it makes more sense the motorcycle's spikes I suppose. Who wouldn't want to have zombies stuck within arms reach stuck on the front of their bike? What could possibly go wrong?)

I'm not sure will this work but i remember somebody saying that enabling dm menu and then toggling physics active button off and on resolved something invisible. I'm not sure will that work but worth a shot?

 
Oh! I can take this one!

Easier said than done. This game needs to come with a health warning.

Did an all nighter, looked up 5:30am irl. Then I did the 7dtd math, 'if I do 2 more quests I'll have enough for the motorbike, 6am, then horde should come around 6:30...'

 
I think the barter perk could use some work. (Unintended pun).

I have the perk at maximum, and have visited the traders more than 5 times. I have 3 traders close by, that I visited on all 5 tries.

Even with the perk at maximum, they still have crap inventory... Sure they have more of it, but it's not really better (as the perk flavor would have you believe).

I am only able to get good loot, from just finding it or as quest rewards. I'm not against this meta, but perhaps the perk text should be changed to reflect it?

It might work, but honestly, unfortunately, some of those invisible hitboxes (which come from invisible trees, by the way) are permanent, unless you want to mess around with your world files.
