When they first put the water and food bars under the toolbelt I had to thicken them as I'll be damned if these old eyes couldn't quite make out how high the levels were.
Valmod Overhaul (+ Compo Pack) A16 is my favorite 7D2D ever.
I change lots of things, but kind of different every time. I've got over 1000 hours of 7D2D and probably less than 50 of it is vanilla.

I use the lockable inventory slots. Is a gamechanger. (By the way, when we gonna have a search function in the boxes, Pimps? Please?)
Also like Sam's working stuff. Having to use the campfire when I already have a nice kitchen is a serious letdown.
I'm waiting for my next playthough to use the 2x zombie spawns and the mod that reverts farming to it A19 way. The new farming is pretty annoying with the replanting.
Want to try also the mod that makes wandering hordes bigger. I want to try something like that series that JaWoodle played, in DF, but not with DF.

I want to do this soon too. There are a few horde mods, I'll probably use Khaine's. I have an idea for a "restoration" playthrough where I rebuild a neighborhood, maybe an entire town. So I'll start with some questing till T3 is done then start the remodeling. I like questing but I don't want to worry about having to identify and turn down quests for houses I'm renovating. And I'll use the Stay Clear mod to keep those houses zombie-free when I've cleared them. I figured that adding a wandering horde mod would shift the focus to outside zombies and force me to go out and protect the homes I'm repairing so they don't beat down the walls trying to get to me.

I definitely need some clue to select missions, maybe a book with buildings snapshots made in game with a crafted camera. Not just a filename in description.
Maybe a way to a new mission génération mechanism if buildings have an identity like a NPC and missions assigned, and if they could be chased.

Maybe rename it in localization to “Egg and bacons”? Then it would make sense to take only take 1 egg in the recipemy bad and i am looking at the icon... BFT shut up... my glasses are as old as i ammy fingers dont type what i mean anymore.
and stay off my lawn

I feel this being the beginning of a wonderful mod. ….. ummmm … “50 shades of Bacon” All it contains is 50 recipes for egg and bacons. 1 egg, 1 bacon. 1 egg 2 bacons (etc). And icons for each one showing the *exact* number of bacon strips.
you could argue making a copy of the egg and doing the same, but that’s crazy talk. Nobody eats 50 eggs and 1 piece of bacon.

(I know nobody calls them bacons. I’m just enjoying the word)

I do. LOL I have this thing where common words will escape me for a moment and instead of trying to figure out what I'm trying to say, I'll just adapt what I'm saying. And so one evening when that amazing smell wafted into my room, I went into the kitchen and gave my roommate my best cute begging puppy face. He asked me how much I wanted and since the word "pieces" got lost, I just said, "two bacons, please!". He was like, "bacons?" and it just kind of stuck after that.

I had one I was thinking about, you might find it interesting.
1. make the game super hard (chose your difficulty, whatever it needs to be). You can also do a random gen map, but this might make step 2 weird as spawning in TFP maps seems done nicely. I also suggest loading up the “furnishing” mods that add clear glass and nice doors and lights/decor.
2. Then, when you spawn, the first house you see (you have to walk on the road to find any structures) you have to live in for at least 1 horde. You cannot leave it until it’s been “refurbished” and you just try to live in it “as if it were real” meaning: all chests have to go in normal places (not on ceilings or in floors) campfire has to go in a real
place (not on wood floor) etc. the refurbishing has to be complete (painting, windows put back) etc. you cannot upgrade everything past it’s natural “house” state (no steel floors, etc). Basically “you thought you could rebuild and live but the zeds caused you to realize you had to leave”
3. Once you complete #2, you are free to play the game as you want, but you are trying to get to the next “thing to “win” which is…
4. Find poi “skyscraper 4” (or whatever that one is called) and completely rebuild it. It’s the one that’s basically a construction site. You have to rebuild “nicely”. You are allowed to not use it as a horde base (can live next to it). Wherever you live, you also have to rebuild and furnish. Rebuilding the skyscraper requires you (mostly) to build around the steel skeleton. You have to finish it up by taking down the crane and the fences and redo the grounds, etc.
5. After the skyscraper is rebuilt, make a horde base out of it. Try to make it “real” meaning no kill pits etc. let the zeds come in through the doors and run up the stairs to get to you, etc. use traps as much as possible. Note: you’re allowed to build the traps and stuff in as you rebuild, or after your choice.
Then continue playing as you want. Challenge completed!

I do find it interesting, it sounds like a fun challenge! There are some things I would excel at. Like the storage thing. I don't use regular storage boxes past like day 2, and all of my storage cabinets / racks go in normal places. Picture of my current kitchen attached. LOL I've been building my own houses from scratch so renovating one would be no problem. I'll keep this in mind for down the road.

-any HUD with thirst hunger
-car respawner
-more vehicles
-more vehicle mods
-3slot forge
-more zombie spawn
-always open trader
-vanilla+ for stacksizes
-200% xp or 2 skillpoints per level
-have a supperdiggeradmingun in base for less stress at building. I hate to remove my missplaced blocks with tools. In every other game you can pick up your buildingblocks.

That's really nice. I've never done a "rebuild/refurbish" before as usually I'm thinking "build horde base must survive ASAP" so its always intrigued me to take it a bit slower, or at least "go the distance" and make the base a "looks nice" part of the game. I never have a "home" as when I'm done I usually have a mishmashed up POI that looks like the last hour of a garage sale (I don't do symmetrical from scratch builds anymore). usually I drop a mailbox down as a "itz dun!" moment

Thanks! I just put a mailbox in front of my little homestead today.That's really nice.

I think I've built an actual horde base exactly one time, and that was for a friendly "30 days to live" challenge with a friend. My go-to is either a small house POI, or a scratch-build homestead. In both cases I use a perimeter wall where all my defense power goes. It's a strat that gets hairy later when I have to run around on the wall to catch the demos as soon as possible (though I don't always play a save long enough for that to be an issue), but I like to feel like I'm defending my home. I think that some horde bases I've seen are brilliant, but I don't usually enjoy building that way.My current homestead is 31x 26, with the house (9x9, main floor + attic), a crafting workshop area, a farm of 35 crop plots (I think, I didn't count LOL) and I've also dug a pond I will fill with water tomorrow. And yes, I will use CM to place water blocks because I've done the bucket thing before and that was just not a good time.
The whole thing isn't done yet, still have some interior detailing to do on the house, and the wall isn't finished, but it's getting there. I haven't taken a pic of the whole thing or the crafting area yet.
I actually recreated a POI in A19 as my base (I of course had separate horde base). I haven't found it yet in A20, although I suspect it is (or was) the green 2-story with the wrecked carport (garage was my own addition). Of course it was made of concrete & bulletproof glass, but painted to look like original.
Full basement and 2nd floor, plus partial attic. Lots of storage. Also walled compound and farm not shown. Was a good base but so much work to build.

Increasing the number and frequency of zombie spawns, usually by 10x the number and dropping the frequency to 0.5 at minimum.
Changing the vehicle speed and the sprint speed to be equal so I don't have to constantly hold down shift while driving.
This time I increased the stack size on certain items a little, might increase them more though.
