Watched the new video earlier and its made me super excited for the new alpha. From someone that really enjoys the building aspect of the game its great to see new textures, shapes and trims/pipes etc are being added, I can't wait to get stuck into building new bases when it arrives. Its easy to forget the world is a fully destructible voxel based when you see the level of detail in the new POIs. Great work!
The only thing I didn't care for was the health bar of the zombies, but i'm sure that will be possible to turn off.

I want a carrot on a stick and a saddle I can put on a zombie and ride it.

Theoretically yes, in practice... no. Not even Elon Musk has tried this one yet.

Heh.
The HP indicator is just as new as the aforementioned mod.
It was literally programmer art. =P
There was not even a rule set for it, much less implemented. It was put in to have a talking point for the discussion about when/if it should appear and for what.
Now what is a real feature:
If you aim a sniper rifle (variable zoom) you can see the crosshairs slightly contract and expand as they readjust to show you the exact area where your bullets might land - based on current zoom level, moving, crouching, mods, skills, etc.
That's a big step up from A16 where the weapon crosshairs may as well display egyptian hieroglyphs to inform you about the target area.
Merry christmas, gun nuts.

I agree with this completely. I loved everything in that video except the health bars. Not having any indication of when the zombie is going to drop is one of the best things in 7 Days. I hope it is for sure Moddable but I'd really like it to just be a toggle in the game itself.

See, this I like; because as much as I like UT style shooting games, I've always felt that format didn't work well for a "realistic" shooter like I wish 7days would be. I have always liked that my bow arrows go "somewhere" other than where I'm pointing, it's about time that happens for guns as well.

Was just chatting it up with Dust2Death (premier ui modder) about it, it should be a gui element which means moddable.

Or go Legend of Zelda style and do a dungeon to find the compass, which you would have to wander random-gen for potentially weeks to find, and the map in a separate dungeon! And no starting food or water! And start surrounded by 3 cops, 5 dogs, and 12 other assorted zombies!
