Agreed on the low level ones.
I assume we will either see some for vanilla or easy to add with modlets etc.

The connection needs some fixes, i cannot access to any multiplayer server. I tried on A16.4 today and i could connect, but on A17 i cant.

it seems the wandering hordes have learned a new trick.
in a16 they would spawn in and walk a straight line to your last known location. if they didnt see you, would continue that path till despawn.
last night I saw one coming and ran before they saw me. hid behind a tree that was almost out of render so I could watch them, wait till they leave and go back to collecting rock. Nope. They stoped about 10m past where i was then began to spread out like they were looking for me.
not sure if bugged or working as intended but it's a game changer.
no more wait them out.
now its engage or gtfo

It's one of those easily overlooked awkward weapons that only work in certain situations, but end up being perfect and without compare when employed properly. Think most people avoid them from traumatically bad experience, usually the enthusiastic war cry of a first use throw starts all super confident, like they pulled out some secret weapon, and ends with 180 pitch reversal in scream tone as they become their own toasty victim, running around in a flaming circle of WTF did I just do to MYSELF. They are hella risky, very easy to ♥♥♥♥ up a toss, but usually for a simple overlooked reason like just not throwing them far enough and/or hitting that one enemy who is closer than the rest, or the wall you're hiding behind, etc, causing the AOE centerpoint to be much, much, closer than intended. Having the high ground helps avoid those errors significantly.
Although it is more than worth perfecting by learning the hard way a few roasty times to get the feel for it, I also discovered a huge antidote in the 7DTD mechanics: chug a jar o' water. If you do, most likely, join the hot party, just have a drink and it stops, barely singing you while staring the others down over your aqua jar as they melt into an XP cascade in the corner. It does take some patience, and the sacrifice of a holy backpack slot, but you can craft them quite easily, even early game. Perfect for quick wandering horde disposal(I usually run through and get them all clumped together), and, if you actually remember to make the damn things, your new best friend every 7th day. Those it doesn't flat out kill usually get reduced to casual one shots, so it can save you a ton of BM night ammo if nothing else. The hardest part is probably having the restraint NOT to use one unless the right condition presents itself.
Mines I have not tried, yet, but if/when I find the cigar I hope that reminds me to engage in yet another high-risk/high-reward pyrotechnique for rapid Z disposal. Some icing for that cake would be having the forethought to precraft and dedicate yet another slot for a leather couch to plop down and perch upon while grinning through the thick smoke at your explohsive ahhhsomeniss.

We all will hold you to this even if we all have to call your boss to give you enough time off of work lol....Hahahahaha, that must of felt soooooo good.
On a serious note, im with guppy. I am super excited for this change. Not sure if I will ever have the time but I want to recreate the walking dead geography and create custom questline that will recreate some of the conflicts in that story and then also create my own.
We have now locked in you doing this mod btw.....we expects the precious

Quick question that I wasn't able to find an answer to: Where did the personal game config file move to? There used to be one before, but I am unable to find it now.
*Edit* Nevermind, just found it in roaming appdata

Has anyone else had any connection issues with multiplayer games? Me and 2 friends tried playing the other night with max players set to 8 but it would only let 2 of us in at a time and the other would just sit on the "connecting to [username]" screen. All of us are updated to the latest patch and we tried it in different combinations which each of us hosting so we know it wasn't just one of us having the problem.

is there ever going to be a fix for windows and doors not blocking outdoor weather effects or temps
i still have to stand in the middle of my little shack. if I stand next to the door or the wood windows it's like standing outside.
even standing under a hatch that leads to the outside

They seem to have a hard time 'escaping' from tents...Hey I've got a question. What are those pigs? They spawn randomly on buildings... Sometimes they dissapear and they spawn again in random place in the same building... They are always in 2-3 groups. They don't attack unless you attack them first. They are ugly and annoying. Screenshot below.
They stack up rather nicely (2 across, 2 high) on small garages. (And seem a little afraid to come down...)
And (IMHO) are easily worth their 1500 Exp.
(As opposed to snakes, which area meager 170 Exp.)
(And yep, I haven't complained because I know fully well all of that well get balanced better...)

What? Huh? Could you please repeat yourself a few more times? maybe I'll get it on the 3rd or fourth try...
(btw - your response is the reason i have learned to avoid the sound of my own voice sometimes. Thank you Madmole.)

(Sorry for the three in a row. 'Had' to have dinner with the wife and re-getting caught up...)
Even when taking time out from A17 to watch a movie with the wife, I am constantly thinking about A17!
So, I wuz thinkin about FallOut and it's 'SPECIAL'. 7D2D's is PSFAI. PSFAI? Piss Fy? Piss Fay?
Re-acronomizing you can legitly come up with IFASP or ASPIF.
Mnemonically, I believe SAFPI is kinda cool. As in:
In 7D2d A17, always remember: SAFPI should always come first!
