Ravenhearst Mod

Quality Joe skill does exactly what it says - increases quality of found loot by the particular amount. So with level 4/5 you should be getting all the loot with +70 quality.
Now for the base quality, for your level 60 character base quality is 51 - 150. And you won't ever get items better than quality 350.
The reason devs removed scavenging skill is to get around it's broken (or intended?) mechanic. Authors of this mod want for loot quality and level (common, uncommon, rare, untrarare) to scale with player level instead.
OK, I found a single trader in a single city after 48hrs of straight road running (thanks grain alcohol I found stashed in a car for helping with that case of dysentery - I didn't gear up because it was a suicide mission since I never thought I'd last the night). 7.5km as the crow flies, with a giant lake between home and it. But I give it a shot anyway, 9km of running filled with the priciest loot hoping for the best in my newly-pumped Secret Stash. An even sorer wrist later, I reach the trader. However, there is a bear sitting outside with a group of zombies fighting it, and despite trying to lure it away, it just manages to slip through the door before I close it. Fine, I know my way around and dash around some stairs and doors and finally meet with Trader Rekt and proceed to do my trades. However, there's kind of a lot of noise going on outside, and when I open the door to look, a zombie flies in and attacks me from the patio he's broken down. I kill it and slam the door shut, finish my trades as fast as possible, and bolt out the door. 2 rocket launches in the face fail to bring down the bear that follows me out, so I run on and out of the city thanks to some Red Bull. Only to be killed from excessive drunkenness in the next town after 10pm, but that's a different story.
So...what do you suppose happened to the trader after I left? I can't ring him up, and it's more than a day's round trip travel. Did the zombies go dormant when I left the sector at least? Will they still be there and start back up when I return? I've heard you can buff the traders now, so I'm back at my forge and cement mixer and trap-crafting pumping out resources, but what happens when I get there? Do you still get kicked out of traders' at night or can I stay within the walls I put up and defend it until I can get it trapped properly? Or do I have to work on it during the day, and instead intend on finding a new base and pumping it up enough to defend regular nights? I'm still about 10 days out from horde... Is the horde attracted to the trader as well as the player?
That just poses more questions!
Thanks

Great read, and likely a fun, little adventure. Also very curious if the trader kicks you off the premises as night falls. Want to stay and improve the defenses of the store front from would-be zombie looters, but haven't had a chance to test anything as i haven't actually found a store as of yet...also, i'm a coward and don't want to get kicked out at night and crap myself
Finding the one trader was nuts. That generated map is huge! The amount of rewarding game time possible in each generated map is crazy, especially with all the extra Ravenhearst POI. I was running with Athletics 80 and Road Runner for 48 game hours without backtracking and only a little overlapping, and saw the outside of a LOT of cool buildings. I found about a dozen towns, but only one city, per the description above with the asphalt vs concrete.Great read, and likely a fun, little adventure.

I have to figure out town relocation at this later stage in the game (class level 66, which is about as high as I've gotten before getting distracted) and grind for a minibike. It looks like I've found the city to live in if the trader pulls through. I'm just not sure how complicated the move will be. It seems like you can generate pretty much every station easily once you've built an Advanced Workbench & Forge, but I don't know how the new encumbrance is going to act carrying things like a forge, a cement mixer, every kind of building material and the rest of my needed gear for 9km. I'm going to need a lot of Red Bull and beef jerky, and I might have to grind more locally for the minibike first. If anybody has any tips for that kind of move LMK.
Oh, I dropped a backpack about 7km from base. Is there anything I need to know about for how long it'll last in 4.3? I'd love to leave it a couple weeks but really don't want to lose it. It's like 70min realtime of running round trip tho.
Encumbrance has been disabled, so don't worry about how much loot you can carry. Be more concerned that if you die with your backpack completely loaded up, you risk the chance of not being able to make it back to it before it disappears. In the past i've carried a bedroll and placed it in my toolbar. If things get harry i tend to drop it so if i do get wrecked i can spawn closer to my latest backpack. Doing this means your original base may have z's in it upon your return...
There was a post in this thread not too long ago that talked about adjusting the length of time your backpack remains. It definitely isn't long enough for you to make the trip. The post also gives instructions on what change to make to have it remain in the world for longer. You can follow that to help. In the future, craft or find a box, and dump all your loot in that. Mark it on the map, and you'll be good to go.

Working as intended.
Scavenging is broken when you can find a purple level items prior to day 7. Cant count how many complete augers I found on day 1 that were not grey. Scaling with player level is brilliant.

There is the halocopter "box" that is disabled for MP, but may, or may not, work in SP.
Ended up picking it up early. Question though: when I try to upgrade traps and (...something else...) to steel, I get a ding that I don't have steel. This is whether I'm holding 80 or 350. Is that what the Steel Smithing "Steel Plating" perk gives, or is it a bug? It's not quite clear.

upgrading to steel requires a wrench, or nailgun. hammer no longer is sufficient for the task.

He Guys, one question. If i copy the files from modpacks like "experimental recieps" or "true survival" and copyed it in my (always) clean new 7dtd and start the game without the anticheat, it works fine. But it worked not for "ravenhearts". Any idears why its not going?
game launcher is not a option for me. The launcher needs a NET. Framework version, who can not installed at Windows 8 and they dint answered there.
Thx
Ey whyyyyy? I have do it right exacly like 5, 6 times and now its load the mainmenu? Cant unterstand, the same thing with a other pack for two days. The exact same way didnt work since two days ^^.
I dont understand it. But it looks like, that it work now.
Hey, wow, there is a german translation installed. Verry thx for this! :smile-new:
EDIT: Ok i played it only some minits but for now its the best modpack i have seen.
But one think "experimental reciep" do better, you can grab the old little woods in the desserts (500) and the tree-logs (770)
But this is not a big deal, go in the blocks.xml and search for 770, 2038, 500 and write:
<property name="CanPickup" value="true"/>
and the little FrictzHugo3 are happy smile.
And one from the best, no loading-drobs in the craftingmenu (But realy long loading "for" the mainmenu to start the game)
This fu**ing creepy voice at the night. My heart. sooo spoky lol. Realy good job lol.
And the rebuilds from the old buildings like hotel also very cool thing.

Hello all. I've played this mod before a few times. Somewhat recently, I went back to vanilla with a buddy who was playing it for the first time. We played co-op while he hosted locally via Multiplayer, then I eventually took his saved files and created a dedi server on my file server. We played for a while, then moved on to some other games. Now we're back to 7D2D because we're excited about a17, so I figured i'd show him Ravenhearst to see what mods for the game look like. I've hosted servers for several years and can usually work out these kinds of problems, but I can't figured this one out atm.
I uninstalled and completely deleted my client and dedi server files and folders and followed the instructions step by step on how to "install" Ravenhearst Dedi Server. I can launch the client fine and even start a brand new game, but when I try to connect to my server, shortly after it says "Waiting on Server...", I get this error: "Exception: Block with name 'plantedLettuce3Harvest' not found!" and it goes no further. I've tried re-syncing the mod on both client and server but the error remains. I'm not sure where to go from here because I've re-verified the mod files multiple times and checked the install steps multiple times to make sure I did it right.
I also don't know if this server pertains to the client or server side, so I'm not sure where to focus.
:jaded: EDIT: I figured it out. For some reason the 7D2D Mod Launcher wasn't working for me at all when following the instructions by BMT to setup the dedi server. I was following his instructions to a 'T' but getting those errors when trying to connect to the server. I had to end up downloading the zip of the dedi server files and do it that way. I copied those files into my dedi server install folder, then dropped in the BCM and 'Alloc Fixes' mod folders in and setup the serverconfig file. That did the trick!
@JaxTeller718 - someone should look into those instructions for setting up the Dedi Server cause they didn't work for me. I miss when the Dedi Server was listed in the 7D2D Launcher because that worked perfectly for me and didn't require downloading and then copying over files; it just worked in one fell swoop.

Trade you for a tenderizer. I've seen 5 ink pens in my game time, 2 in just this current game, but never a tenderizer. And I want to bake! My Wellness is only as high as 75 because I spent 30 points on Health Nut levels. And Ravenhearst seems STINGY about Wellness boosts from even the best food and drink.

I'm still searching for a chisel and socket wrench. day 103. a whole lot of "nope, not in this box" going on.
