I'm very bad at using stuff like video recorder software and the likes.

Do you have any suggestion for a good free video recorder I could use with 7DTD to record evidence for bugs? Thanks

If you have an NVidia card then download GeForce Experience. It's free and the Shadowplay portion is the video recorder. Works like a champ.

Geforce Experience installed you can use that too. It´s activated with Alt+Z. Both allow you to make a video of the last few minutes of gameplay

Shadowplay, which is the recording portion of Geforce Experience, does far more than just record the last few minutes of gameplay. It will record for hours, til you turn it off...

We use OBS studio and then DaVinci resolve for editing. All free and super easy to use :D  There are a ton of tutorials on how to work them if you struggle. That way of you decide to make vids you have some awesome free software 😛

I noticed, I literally complain every time I see him, about how his burps make me feel sick lol 🤢🤮He is Gassious Maximus, a very gross individual LMAO. EDIT: Not that I would change him or hate him, he just makes me feel ikky which adds to my experience in the game.

Who needs a robotic drone when we have Myra and Myla to take care of business?  (no pervy jokes Snowdog.... -_-) INT is my favorite build. :)

I have "The Bouncer" and "No means No".  😅

I see how the zombies want to touch "No means No", but she will smack them into next week!

The Bouncer lives up to his name and even demolishers are afraid of him!

A better choice might be stealth provides you some resistance to the targeting, so based on distance and randomness, you may only get a partial amount targeting you while the rest just look around.

I don't even try to get melee stealth kills. I basically just use the bow when I can. Enemy in field or sleeper laying there? Free damage. Head shot even better.

I've been thinking about it and a better way might be with a special infected that acts as a zombie alarm system. Basically a zombie with oversized mutated sensory organs including extra sets that will always detect you no matter what. Which will be designed to always make a lot of noise but not as much as a screamer when it detects you, takes damage, and dies to create a tangible reason for auto awake/aggro sleeper volumes. However naturally on the back end the zombie will have nothing to do with them waking up and only serves as something players can blame for it instead of feeling as cheated.

Another option would be setting it up to where players have a thin rare chance to kill this special infected before it detects them and that will disable the auto wake/aggro volumes. Which will give players a bit of hope that they can over come it so that they feel less cheated once again.

@rubens9311 One shotting Z´s with the sneak bonus saves ressources, that works up to radiated bikers and cops with a crossbow. Play on 50% loot and warrior or higher difficulty. You will be happy about every single arrow you can save. Not drawing attention from outside a POI also helps when playing higher difficulties. First 3 stages of difficulty i propably wouldn´t spend anything in stealth eithe. Also Splinter Cell made me a stealth fanboy. 😛

Hello friend, I am on a SV MP playing with:

* Difficulty: insane Exp multiplier 50% * No supply * You die and everything falls * Loot 50%

And believe me, nothing is achieved if you do not do it or risk your life for it.

Not to mention that it is MP and when you return home it is possible that you have been robbed.

Day 105, lvl 32, approx 2000z dead. I never used stealth.

They are styles of games, I never used it and I think it is not necessary yet. Maybe later with the arrival of bandits I will close my mouth, as MM said. haha

 
The zombie idea would be for it to be called the Watcher and for it to have disturbingly large eyes with possible extra eyes that always look at the player. Included in it's design will be chains and strap metal so it clearly looks like it will make a lot of noise. As well as possibly having over sized ears as well to better hear you and sell the whole their is no way your sneaking by this thing vibe. Now to make it even more disturbing include Eye Candy in the design to imply that it was someone that over dosed on the stuff before becoming a zombie.

Possible design is either make it look like a natural zombie mutant or something that was modified after the fact for example the Demos. Which acts like a guard dog put in placed by the magic loot fairies that conveniently placed loot piles at the end of POIs.

I must be missing the joke . . . but the build looks good

Its from the Simpsons episode The Cartridge Family where Homer gets a hand gun and goes crazy with it using it for everything he can. Which includes shooting the lights out to go to bed. Which someone commended about it when MechanicalLens first posted the build pictures about shooting the candle out to go to bed as that is what they thought all Americans did after seeing that episode.
