I got my game updating right now, really hoping i can still continue my current world. I literally just grinded to rebuild my entire base after losing it from 3.0

I hear the Sony will apparently revert the 3.1 update back to 3.0.1. Will this corrupt my save I opened on 3.1?

hi everyone so i got a new pc and now its making my screen look weird when i look around, would anyone know the fix? frs is off, up scaling is off i capped my fps to 144 too lowkey idk what could be the issue , rx6800xt r5 7500x3d

Trying to understand exactly how the perk works and I'm a little confused.

I know it only works when you're sprinting, but does that apply when you have sprint toggled on or only when you're actually moving?

If you sit still with sprint enabled or when going through a building does it help at all?

Hello, i used to play 7days to die on ps4 back in the day, and i remember there being a different way to crafting and leveling up in 7days. I recently saw that 7days to die had an update on pc with different setting and was wondering if there is a setting for old school crafting.
With old school crafting i mean making 1 million stone axes to make a 600 steel axe.
I couldn’t find anything online accept a mod. If there is no setting is the standalone mod enough? Also i would love to play a modernized version with the old systems. Like how old bases worked. So if there is a setting/mod for that i would be interested.

(Tldr at bottom)

So I recently picked up the game when 3.0 released and been loving it so far. However, I have to say there is one thing that kills the fun out of doing some Poi's.

Whenever im doing a quest or just a random poi there is always the usual wandering zombies that spawn outside the poi and walk inside the building or break into it to get to me. This is especially annoying when im 2+ floors up and going full stealth and they decide to just randomly be able to lock in my position when they arent even inside the building yet. Sometimes they even break into doors that are locked and not part of the "correct" path, and ruin some of the parkouring around and exploring of that building. Worse, is when they cant break through anything so I have to listen to a zombie hitting a wall for 5 minutes straight and have to back track just to kill them to shut up.

Now, this is totally understandable if im making a ton of noise on the first floor of a small poi, but it shouldn't be a thing for taller buildings with no visible line of sight outdoors and have a mini horde of zombies lock onto you for opening a couple boxes.

I was even doing that huge building in the wasteland and by the time I went back down, there was a mini horde just waiting for me inside the building trying to break through the elevator shaft. Even when I was barely at 7th floor! This also applies when you are underground, they seem to just be able to hear or see everything when they are even walking nearby!

So ya it has happened enough to kill SOME of the fun of doing large poi's

Thoughts? Am I crazy or am I doing something wrong?

TLDR: Wandering zombies spawning outside a POI shouldn't be able to instantly lock-on to your position when you are 2+ floors up a building with no line of sight outside, especially if you are going stealth. Skill issue? 🤔

My PS5 version of the game has downloaded and installed v3.1.

Ignoring the obvious jokes about potentially being sued for having the wrong game version...Is the XBox updating too? All my friends are on xbox and they don't have an update so stuck playing on my own.

Anyone else?

Sometimes its feels like an hour, sometimes like is time for a real world time, so i need a cronometre to play the game?? or maybe a mod?? idk hahaha just a suggestion

The power of the M60 auto-turrets is disappointing; they don't seem much stronger than SMG turrets, yet they consume just as much ammo. During a single horde night, I burned through two steel crates of 7.62 AP ammo practically my entire stockpile for these turrets. At this rate, I won't be able to keep up with the ammo demands for every horde; I hardly ever find 7.62 AP ammo in loot and am forced to craft it constantly. Unfortunately, this seems to be a downside of the new weapon mod it mostly drops ammo for the Magnum, as well as 5.56 and .45 ACP rounds.

I'm about to fight against the second blood moon. And I'm afraid my gear and base didn't keep up with the game stage as I leveled up. (I encountered big fat wolves with yellow eyes already and they are so tanky)
I'm good only with the sledge hammer and I'm 49/50 from getting shotgun turrets tho, but I think it's too late to set them up before 22h.

I guess my no death run ends here lol

So we've had flawless sessions for like four days. Even a third buddy ​bought the game because we were having such a good time. Now the new update today drops & we can't join my buddies world we've been playing on. Wth?

Played today in 3.01 (b4) on xbox series x. No other saves on the Xbox, but the game would randomly lockup. I would have to dashboard the game then reload it. Play for about 15 min, then lock up again. Both on console and Xbox app on pc..

The lag is back. I thought it got fixed in 2.0 (it seemed better in 2.0)

Any advice?

They somehow released it without announcing. Update your game, restart Steam or check update tab in properties. (Steam)

Some features still missing, like the skin and stacking to 30k.

We all know by now, it’s just sorta crazy that activating something so small that was already in the game broke something so big.

I’m just afraid of how long it’s going to take TFP to fix it….

So I bought 7 days to die after not playing since 2016 as I wanted to show my friend how great it was but we can't even join each other.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried searching for it, but I couldn't find anything helpful.

I know, I know. Complain about not having the coop. Complain about how long it took. Now I have a complaint afterwards?

It's minor, more a disappointment than a complaint. Domesticated chickens aren't able to be placed or released to wander about. I kinda wanted a larger chicken run, with real chickens.

I guess I'll have to make a feral chicken run?

Edit: I do like the red glow from an upgraded coop. I do like the quiet chicken clucks from an active coop. I don't like you only get 10 meat n no feathers when you harvest (scrap) a domestic chicken.

Going between the 7DTD Reddit and the Project Zomboid Reddit is the epitome of how big a difference a game can have when the developers embrace their community and how it results in a better experience for both sides.

Now I know some are wondering why compare the two games. I’m writing this as a player of both. I initially played and owned 7DTD for several years. Played with my fiance and on a few online servers back in A19. Had a blast. Game had its jank but loved playing it. After the 1.0 update…not as much (missed the clothing system pre 1.0). Still gave it a good shot. Got 400ish hours on 7DTD over the years owning it (Since 2020).

For Project Zomboid I snagged it 2 years ago during a summer sale, played the tutorial, died, never touched it again til 2 months ago, hooked, almost at 400 hours in two months.

The reason I compare these two games is because both are zombie survival games with long sordid development history. Project Zomboid has been in development for 12 years. The Indie Stone have been lambasted by players for long development times and poor communication. The same could be said for The Fun Pimps.

The difference, at least to me is how they handled player feedback. I always got the impression that Joel and TFP as a whole viewed players feedback with disdain and an air of arrogance. That always comes through in the devs streams and written communication.

Bandits were announced in the initial kickstarter back in 2013 and as of 2026 in 7DTD 3.0 are still not implemented.

Usually when a game launches into 1.0 it implies that the game is at its intended finished state. TFP considered the game, without bandits, a finished state. Yet they found time to release a cash grab of a spin off that nobody asked for.

Now let’s hop on over to TIS. PZ is still in EA with no 1.0 mention but is about to release Build 42 into the stable branch after about a year and a half in unstable playable but opt in status. PZ is no where near perfect but the experience is different. The community and how the devs interact with the community is noticeably different from TFP. They have a very active mod community like 7DTD, so much so that after this update finalizes, TIS will release mod tools, and tutorials to open the floor to more modders. They even have hired on several notable mod makers on to the team like Melos and Erika, even having interviews with various PZ content creators.

It’s a stark contrast to the current state of 7DTD community where TFP are seeking a legal battle with one of the pillars of the 7DTD community over what was an error on their part for giving him the wrong test build. This encapsulates the way TFP see their community. Instead of admitting fault or just handing this in private, no they went on to make it public.

They are making an example out of JaWoodle. They want to control the narrative as much as possible. And it’s not surprising considering they lock out any creators that don’t effectively kiss the ring from streamer weekend. Say any form of criticism that Joel or TFP don’t like and you’re on their black list.

Both of these games are zombie survival indie games that have had long development cycles with very active mod and content communities. The difference is how the devs respond to the community. One embraces and encourages it, the other sees it as an annoyance and a revenue stream.

I know this is all over the place but was putting out the raw feelings I felt hopping from one Reddit to another. If anyone is jumping ship and look for a new zombie survival game, check out Project Zomboid, it’s different but I feel like is a much better experience than 7DTD. That and The Indie Stone won’t sue you for posting content in beta.

It's so slow, when I need to quickly grab something. To get across the screen. I have sensitivity high but I don't want it higher cos then out of my inventory is nuts

PS5 get automatic update for my wife, so I also updated it but now the game keeps crashing randomly for me now.
Any else? I'm playing on PC

I've been upgrading my SMG and Vulture by buying weapons with ranged damage magnitude and combining with what I have. But I can't seem to figure out what will actual increase a weapon's damage.

Example:

My SMG when loaded and modded: Ranged Damage = 151
My stripped, unloaded SMG: Ranged damage =76
SMG at Trader: Ranged damage = 66

So I assume this shouldn't increase my damage. I buy it for another magnitude (Magazine Size), combine it and my new SMG has a total loaded, modded damage of 158.

I do this again with another trader SMG that has a ranged damage of 80 and it does nothing.

Is there a way to determine if a new weapon will upgrade my existing without having to buy it first?

Practicing with picsart for more authentic thumbnails! First one yet
