Mod Description in the process of being updated. What is here is accurate**

Mod is available in SP, Coop and Server play. It is not finished and is still in active development and open to suggestions, feedback and bug reports. At this time no assets may be used for redistribution.

This mod was designed to walk the line between realism and fun engaging gameplay. Where realism became grindy or not fun I tried to aim for engaging gameplay mechanics with a focus on risk and reward and a strong sense of consequences. Death in this mod is permanent with few exceptions. In this mod when death occurs your player data is wiped and you will respawn as a fresh new player.

Choosing Your Character - Upon starting, players will have Knowledge Points available to purchase up to 3 Traits, a Hobby and a Profession.  These choices will determine the players starting stats, items and recipes. Players are able to learn all Professions over time by collecting 20 Profession Pages and crafting another Professions Kit. An additional Hobby can be learned after 20 days survived. Traits do not stack and are optional. The following are the Players Starting Choices.

I have played this mod extensively. It is incredibly fun. Be prepared to die, A LOT. I can't even really play the base game anymore because I get so bored. If you want to experience a true survival game, this is the mod to play.

 
I've spent countless hours helping Spider tweak this mod, brought lots of ideas to it so I guess that makes me an biased person. But DAMN do I love what it became. There truly is no other mod that would please me at this point. there's just no going back to vanilla either.

For all the hardcore fans out there, this is the mod you want. You won't regret it. Actually, you might, but for all the good reasons :)

 
Been playing this Mod since Alpha 12 when Spider found me in the steam forums complaining that the game was too easy. After playing this mod I simply cannot go back to vanilla.

it is very challenging, not for the faint of heart. If you dont want a challenge and I mean a challenge then dont waste your time. You will die. It will happen. You will get better and realize you are twice the player you used to be after going through this. It made the game feel fresh and fun. I was at a point where the game was stale and end game was just to easy, the game offered no challenge, this mod made me get back into it and invest 100's of more hours. A lot of things Spider has implemented on his server were implemented by TFP at a later date (im not saying he came up with the idea or that they stole from him but he seems to have a lot of their future plans done already). Workstations, classes, etc.

Give it a shot. Best mod for 7dtd that I have found yet.

 
While always being on the hunt for nice mods or at least tidbits to add to my server I found this mod...and it is NICE!

Tried it in SP, to get a bit familiar to it, and later tried out on the server you mentioned. Me poor thing of course spawned in the middle of some zeds and died, but found back to a nice start very fast. Maybe I would like to play this on your server, but there is one thing that stops me - it is PvP.

Some people may like it, some people may say yeah...it's the Zombie Apocalypse, you WILL fight about every ressource without mercy. And tbh, in a real Apocalypse me - of course - would kill my best neighbour, and probably cook and eat him, to save MY (and my dogs) life. But when it comes to gaming, I prefer a slightly more friendly environment, a counterpart to the real life, which is hard enough :D

But your mod is one of the best I've seen so far beside the Valmod, and I will take the freedom to grab some parts for my server - if I'm allowed to do so :)

 
So far this alpha I've been stuck cobbling together elements from some of my favorite old abandoned mods and updating them to work with A13.

This mod is new to me, as I don't visit the steam forums and I've missed it if you ever posted here before. It seems you have saved me a lot of effort going forward. It is uncanny how well your mod seems to fit my preferences. I'm very excited to test it out later tonight.

I love the concept of prefab/biome specific content so the bullet press was great to see. Without playing it, I'm almost certain you can add me to the list of people that you have ruined the vanilla game for.

Thank you for your hard work.

 
Not sure if I am overlooking something or downloading a previous version, but I was exploring the files from the full mod d/l link and it doesn't seem to include the custom variants of 'police_station1' from the mixer.

If you post in the steam forums he will respond. He responds to bug reports and feedback almost daily. Not sure if he will be checking this for questions but I can probably guarantee a response if you use the steam forum for his mod:

Yes of course, anything I put out for download is free for all to use as they please.

The only difference in the modded police prefab is I put 1 bullet press on the 1st floor and another on the 2nd floor and re saved it. I don’t think you would see anything different in the files unless you load the prefab in Hals Editor then you would see the Bullet Press Blocks. I didn't re name it.

 
Does this mod change the way clay generates, because I can't find a single spot of it for the life of me! It is a random generation world, I checked an insane amount of forest land, looking at the ground and for flower patches, but I can tell that clay does not spawn on the surface anymore, and I don't know where else it would spawn.

I've had to cheat in clay because it's nowhere to be found

Regarding the biomes.xml file, clay is generated the same way as in vanilla.

I've heard this can happen in vanilla as well, must be a bug where the sub biomes fail to spawn.
