True Survival

I don't know if it's intended or not, but bone shiv's used on dog carcasses don't yield any loot. No bones, no hides, no rancid meat. Using a stone axe produces one rancid meat and one hide. Both bone shiv and stone axe were around 280 quality.

Yeah, it seems bone shivs have been downgraded to very poor 'butcher' quality (0.2). I think butcher tools in order of quality goes: bone shiv (0.2) -> stone axe (0.4) -> hunting/field/battle knife (1.0) .

Since stone axes are accessible from early game it gives no reason at all to use bone shivs for harvesting.

ok, what's the path to acquire a small knife?

I've found a hunting knife and made the smallknifeblade mold.

But it appears I need to reach level 10 in bladecraft before I learn the small knifeblade forging skill?

how do I gain bladecraft skillz without being able to make a smallknifeblade?

All my knives have been bone shivs and they go towards a different crafting skill.

I may be gaining a few bladecraft skills by sharpening the odd old knife or steak knife I find.

But is that the only way to raise bladecraft prior to being able to build a smallknifeblade?

It's going to be a long long way to bladecraft level 10!

 
You are supposed to buy the bladecrafting skill with skill points, I guess. What I did, I found a small knife and kept damaging it and repairing, watching closely not to break it completely. Took me a couple of days grinding.

 
i have raised the same questions multiple times initially, but apparently the do give a skill experiences, but only REALLY seriously small exp. try to read some skill books in which you still never had any exp at all on that skill(lv 1, no exp), then you'll notice there's a tiny bit of red bar added to the exp bar. and yea the description in the skill book which says it gave 350 exp is wrong tho. in reality, it might just give only 1-2 exp perhaps. might better to scrap those skill books instead to make into profession book.

It says in the skill books it gives 350 XP for each read. It either doesn't seem like it gives 350 XP or there is ALOT of XP you have to gain to level up anything.

You can also craft spearheads in the forge, they give blade crafting

 
Windows 8.1

Is there by chance an issue with this mod and windows 8.1? A friend is trying to play but it won't go to the right mod. Even tried a manual install and still didn't work. Using the 7D2D mod Launcher. He was in the middle of installing this mod when the steam servers went down yesterday. Uninstalled everything and reinstalled still does not work for this mod.

i'm using windows 8.1 and its working fine. if using the 7dtd mod launcher advanced mode, if i'm not mistaken it will copy the original game and create a separate True Survival folder for it. Try delete those standalone True Survival folder completely and try reinstall the mod again.

 
deleted everything

He has deleted everything, that he could find, the launcher, the folder of copies, the game from steam, steam itself, rebooted and still doesn't work. War of the Walkers works but it was already installed. He was in the middle of installing True Survival when steam went down. I feel that the problem file is one that does not get deleted on a uninstall. Any ideas?!!!

Install fresh copy of 7d2d via steam, then verify the game from steam, then install the launcher, then install True Survival. THat SHOULD install a fresh copy, verify it, all should go fine, if not, he has bad issues

 
@Spider

Sorry I don't remember if I already mentioned this one;

item 2029 animalContainer is using CustomIcon "ui_game_AnimalBag", however, the actual filename is "ui_game_symbol_animalBag".

Cheers

Oh you literally meant how to add steel, sorry I misunderstood.

But if you can find a hostel or hospital and harvest steel from them with the welding torch (then melt the steel and steel sheets in the furnace) I think you'll find that much faster.

It's specific for steel blocks. Look for blocks with 10k -12k life.

It took me a while to find them. the elevator shaft in the hospital, window trim on the hostel, parking spot outline in front of the hostel, the entire front entrance of the hostel, etc.

Another good tip that someone else pointed out; treat the welder as disposable since repairing isn't economical. Just make a new one when it breaks.

 
This block, upgrades to a square reinforced block.

<block id="273" name="rWoodStairs25">

<property name="Extends" value="rWoodMaster" />

<property name="DescriptionKey" value="woodFrameGroupDesc" />

<property name="Shape" value="New" />

<property name="Model" value="StairsFilledVerticalUV" />

<property name="Place" value="TowardsPlacerInverted" />

<property name="UseGlobalUV" value="Global" />

<property name="Stairs" />

<property name="ImposterExchange" value="imposterRamp" param1="59" />

<property name="DowngradeBlock" value="woodStairs25" />

It upgrades to

<block id="294" name="rWoodMetalBlock">

<property name="Extends" value="rWoodMetalMaster" />

<property name="DowngradeBlock" value="rWoodBlock" />
