I think this is a game bug, but the CP folks believe they've got a work-around. I don't know the process by which POIs get into Apoc Now, so I don't know how long it will be before you might see relief.
I am relatively new to this mod but I noticed something that seemed odd and thought I would bring it to your attention. In the process of building a horde base and changing my mind a few times I decided to remove a stainless steel block. I hit it with my crowbar to get rid of it but instead of it being destroyed, it just downgraded to a steel block. Curious, I tried this with titanium and polished titanium blocks, but they all were just destroyed. If this is the proper behavior for a stainless steel block, it kind of negates the usefulness of upgrading to titanium since the combined durability of the steel and stainless steel together is more than a titanium block.

That is interesting. I was actually looking at that exact same issue a build or two ago and didn't notice that. I know I used to get downgrades on a number blocks in Alpha 19, just not in Alpha 20. What version are you on of AN? The most recent is v3.0.6.
Also did you upgrade from concrete to steel and steel to high quality steel?
My conclusion at that time was it was a waste of time doing the upgrades as the downgrade didn't occur. Unless you want to gain the XP from the upgrading (which is a lot), it was not worth the hassle of upgrading each block level. Unless of course you have no choice, as who has titanium at the start of the game.
I'm on the most recent version of AN. I upgraded this base all the way from frame shapes since I wanted to get the xp.

Okay, confirmed on 3.0.6. I don't think it is a big problem, just good to know. I quite enjoyed the downgrade feature as it provided another good reason to choose the upgrade path. Whether Killerbunny wants it like that or not I don't know.
So, it would be useful to start at steel blocks and upgrade from there. So you had that extra buffer if the High Quality Steel was destroyed, it could fall back to Steel.

I've placed some wood blocks, upgraded to reinforced wood blocks, then when I try to upgrade again I get an error saying I dont have enough cobblestone rocks, but I have over 200 in my inventory. Are Cobblestone rocks used to upgrade the reinforced wood blocks or am I missing something?

Hey @projectmayhem, if you check the "scrap clawhammer", its description says it upgrades blocks up to reinforced wood. You will need a clawhammer to go from cobble to concrete. There are also two versions of the nail gun beyond the clawhammer. This is usually the most common problem that people have at this point, so I hope that helps you out
I think it would be nice if the tool tip could indicate that in some way when you try to upgrade, but I don't know if that is possible.

Gotcha, thank you! I actually just looted a normal clawhammer and scrapped my old one, so I'll give it a try!

Just tried out this mod a few days ago A20.6. First time through I was killed by a random/wandering horde. So, not too far into the game I just restarted. Keep the zeds at a distance, and don't be too proud to run away. This second time around I've taken a lot of hits, but managed to live through it. Oh, 6K map number 2, reduced zombie damage, increased loot too. And, a biggie here: as I'm SP, screw the zeds hurting my Trader...I didn't load that part of the mod. Maybe on a subsequent play through with some help from the team...
Now, I have noticed some discrepancies in the item files (notebook) vs what I actually experience,
Is this really cool mod going to be maintained? Who knows what A21 will affect for any modders, but If Apocalypse Now still has some intended life in it, I'd be willing to record (on paper) and report what's goofy. Or I'll play it as is...nice work!

I can assure you that killerbunny is maintaining it. If you drop into the AN discord you should see the large number of sneak preview updates coming in A21. Version 3.0.6 is the last one, only really due to waiting for A21 to arrive. I certainly am looking forward to what AN has to offer in a few months.
I am trying to play this mod for the first time and I am getting an error message.
I have a freshly downloaded from Steam clean install of 7DtD 20.5 on my C drive with no mods folder.
I manually downloaded the mod from nexus mods and extracted it.
I pasted the extracted mod inside the 7DtD folder.
No EAC is involved.
Upon starting the game I get the error message attached.
I skipped the starting error message and got into the game and it seemed to play fine for about 20 minutes but then I got non stop red error messages.
I also tried going through the mod launcher version 2.1.37.17818 and got exactly the same error message.
There is a version 3 of mod launcher that I tried but it doesn't seem to be complete at least not for Apocalypse Now.

I can't say what the problem is for sure, I would suggest you try asking on the Apocalypse Now discord. However, I do know you must use Alpha 20.6 with the most recent version of AN 3.0.6.

Having a great time with this mod. A20.6 (b9) and Mod 3.0.6 Stable. No other mods loaded. But I did not include the DisableTraderProtection part because well, why not?
Now I'm at lvl 91, gamestage 405 - and I have yet to find any titanium within the forest and snow biomes. Playing the 6k map number 2 included in the download.
Is this normal? Well, to put it another way, where's the titanium? How do I get it?
It may be clear to those who have access to Discord or YT, but I do not because of the Region I play from. So I'm askin'.

I have played this mod in the past and it was fun. When I saw this video now, looks like it is a totally different mod. Looks much better.
The only thing I didnt like was food made very easy. Chicken nuggets from bird nests and lots of fruits and chocolates. No extra efforts needed to be put in for food. And managing inventory in the backpack because of the above.
I had also added several zombies to this mod like enzombies, robelto, snuffkin and guppycur which made it very difficult.
Fun mod. Thanks.
