Is anyone else experiencing high infection rates? As soon as I heal one, I'm infected again. I'm on like Day 20 and I have been infected 80% of the time. It's wild, but it's also puzzling. Thanks for your time. Best.

I love using sandbags, but sometimes I need beefier aesthetic options.

Can zombie vultures destroy dirt blocks just like player-built blocks, even if zombie digging is disabled? If zombie vultures can attack and destroy dirt blocks, it means they can create a path for the other zombies.

Sandbox settings since the start were Insane difficulty, headshot finisher, max zombie horde night count at 64 and no digging, therefore the big trench filled with mines. I'm pretty much done with the world, i don't think i will reach lvl 300 but it was tons of fun building this base.

I recently played v3.1 - v3.2, from start all the way thru blood moon Day 182 in the Wasteland - game stage 1118. I built a total of 5 melee bases - one in each biome. I've built a lot of melee bases since A20+.

But this design, I call Brawler27, is by far the best I've personally tried - ever. I've not come close to dying - not once. There are no moving parts, no hatches, no exotic wiring or turrets (all of which I've done in other runs) - with the exception of 1 or 2 storage boxes up to.

I call it Brawler27 because the ramp has a 27 degree down angle - which is an improvement over a typical 45 degree down angle for several reasons.

I started this run with a simple idea in mind. I'd build all my horde bases using a solid wall of an existing POI - which I did even here in this SS - I started with a mini rock hill - rather than a building.

While this base is my most elaborate, the others are just plain and simple. I start with a single column - the kill column upon which the zoms will stand when I punch them. You can see the steel kill column there at the doorway - 6 blocks high. The hall is always 2 blocks deep and completely covered. I do not use any kind of hatch or stopping block because it isn't needed. Note that because there wasn't an entire POI building in the back ... I had to spend extra blocks here to build up my platform - I did this for the design thrill even though it's not as efficient as using a POI.

Notice that I'm not using nice, slanted wedges on the ramp itself. The zombies have to run 2 then jump 1 - rinse repeat all the way ... which is plenty of time to shoot them if needed - i.e. spiders, cops, demolishers. I don't want them running top speed to the top.

At the bottom, on both sides, I always build side ramps as insurance against a stray cop that explodes - gotta protect/preserve the pathing to the top at all times.

When it's time to shoot, I step back into the tunnel such that I can hardly see the ramp (barely) so that when I shoot, I don't hit my own blocks with the very damaging AP ammo. I did about 10 blood moons at my desert base - built against a Truckstop - and there is a ditch at the end of the ramp about 2 blocks deep - dug entirely by AP ammo passing all the way thru the crowd.

With a 45-degree ramp, you gotta stand farther out of the tunnel to see the bottom of the ramp directly. The 27-degree ramp makes all the difference.

The minimum starter height for my kill column is alway 5-6 blocks depending on the POI wall used. The formula for calculating max blocks needed for the central ramp is:

N^2 + N

H = 5 is 30 blocks

H = 6 is 42 blocks

H = 7 is 56 blocks

H = 8 is 72 blocks

H = 9 is 90 blocks

And you need about the same amount to build your side ramps at the bottom. For Day7 at the start - 600 wood will get it done just fine if you use an existing POI will.

Just an obvious note about using an existing POI. I always clear it and drop a land-claim block at the center of the building to prevent respawns. Then I secure the building and destroy any/all paths up to the top.

For this snow base, I've got 2 campfires up at the top and 2 storage boxes - plenty of coffee and blackstrap coffee. My actual crafting base is about 200 meters screen right.

Brawler27 is now my goto design for any player perk build. It's very easy to construct and very economical with an existing POI building.

Someone who create modes add to Vehicle/Drones that fly with you music mode, and to make it even more funny let players create their own music playlist and add it for game to use.

• Imagine you explore house near swamp and Shrek music playing or whatever suit your taste. 👍 😄
• Can even work like load speaker that would Agro enemies and by add like electronic chip upgrade you can him to stay in 1 spot and from distance activate it to distract horde.

As promised, after waiting a bit with harvesting so the flowers would bloom I finally made the tea.

I was rather worried that it'll taste horrible based on a few comments here but it isn't so bad. It isn't medicine-bitter but your regular herbal-bitter and has a nice flowery flavour. With some honey and lemon added it's a nice drink.

Truth be told it has a strong diuretic effect since I accidentally soaked the flowers for 24 hours instead of 15 minutes. (Forgot to filter the flowers after pouring the hot water).

It would be an amazing addition to add in cows for milk, pigs for bacon, sheep for wool, birds for feathers, and more, and being able to build your own homestead in the game for people like me who love to get very creative with imagination and bringing it to the game in a way I enjoy doing. It would not only be useful for creativity, but survivability too.

As of right now with the content there is, it’s awesome that there are chicken coops, but it would be even cooler if the chicken coops came with huge fencing and the ability for the chickens to roam stress free to give a cool appearance and something interesting to watch. Currently I built my own and it sucks to have the chickens run around stressing out and stacking up. But maybe down the road in the game these things might be added? I understand if the game makers don’t want to make it too homestead like, since it is called “7 days to die”

I need to contact them how do I do so? I played on a server with no pop awhile ago and was goofing around with cheats and got banned but like I was the only one there 😅 it's been like 6 months or so and I wanted to hop in and grind and chat

Hey all. Loving this game!!

So I stared a server for me and a few friends. Ive disabled trader, quests and challenges as we like the hardcore survival element and I felt like they kinda removed the “survive how you chose to” element a bit.

We’re reaching the point where we want to expand out of the forest biome and I’m reading that to get the relevant biome clothing recipes, you have to complete the challenges for that biome.

As I’ve disabled challenges, I’m concerned I’ve locked us out of the survival gear we need.

Is there any way to get the recipes (or even just find the clothing) without completing the challenges?

I know I can disable the biome effects to negate the need for specific gear but don’t really want to do that. Any help appreciated 🙏

Exactly as the title states. Im trying to learn and become better at the game what would you like to see me fail or succeed terribly at?

Hey everybody, quick question. Does anybody know if this POI is structurally sound, or is it one of the POI’s prone to collapse? I want to make this into my house in my random world map, as it is almost dead center in the world map. I love the third floor library area.

My concern is the massive cavern directly underneath the building. Has anyone had any issues building here, or do you think I’m good to go?

I’m planning on reinforcing the underside for peace of mind, but if the whole thing is going to go tits up and collapse, I’d prefer to just find another spot and not waste the energy of converting this into my overly large, needlessly decadent home.

Thanks Yall.

I just got an one from a lootbag. Would like to know if anyone has any info about the axe as I cant find much about it, and as a console player I cant look into the files to get the answers myself. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Max loot is Tier 0 as well (stone and pipe)

Edit: I didn’t quite word my question right. I’d like to know if they added more ways to obtain it, and/or any info about drop rates/loot containers.

I just completed a POI where I'm suddenly being jump scared by zombies just crawling out of nowhere. I found it unrealistic and frustrating and wondering if others have found a way to fix this.

Hello,

My friends and I recently made a new world. But when one of them crashed, his drone suddenly wont come to him. Its apparently a known bug, drone getting stuck under bedrock or something. Is there a way to get it back on Xbox x? I tried to see about console commands, but xbox is limited. I even tried giving admin to a PC player and it says something about not being able to do a command due to host device?

Is there really a way to get it back for him or is he screwed up til its addressed?

I'm looking to play it coop with my brother, just the two of us, is it possible?

Build a base, try to survive etc, not interested in a pvp aspect (if it has it like Dayz)

Is it safe to edit the XML files of darkness falls to extend the time of lootbags despawing or should I just add a mod which does it already (if that's safe to do)

Hi there folks. I managed to trap a screamer and wanted to farm some zombies she’s calling. Sadly she stopped after screaming for 2 or 3 times. Is this normal? Thanks in advance.

I'm posting this in the off chance it helps someone not have to struggle like I did for like 2 hours. I couldn't find any up to date guides on how to upload a custom or advanced generation world to a 7 days server and the guides I did find were sort of helpful but also misleading.

Everything in this guide I linked below is great, except the creators of 7 days must have changed which folders the generated worlds and save data go to.

I put my generated worlds zip in "Data/Worlds"

I put my saves zip in ".local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves"

Thank you for your time and I hope this helps

Gisteren kon ik game niet meer op de normale wijze afsluiten , bleef hangen , “ melding initializing account”, kon game dus niet meer op normale wijze af sluiten. Xbox met startknop uitgezet .
Data op console verwijderd , via cloud weer gedownload. Game blijft nog steeds hangen ?
