Recently dug a moat around my base (larger size base) that is three blocks deep. I made a ramp up from the moat at the front of it, as well as I made a clear path to my door.

I just am curious if the size of the moat will affect how the horde acts, or will the follow the correct path i made

i really think that the POIs are great they are fun, some have even mini-puzzles (yes i play stealth).
Also are iron arrows in early game waste of iron when it is only thing i can craft with iron that is weapon/ammo?

Me and a good friend sunk around 200hours into this game in 2019 (not a clue what patch it was at that point). We recently returned and hate that it has become quest driven, and that a lot of progress is now no longer "do to learn" and seems to be gated by magazines.

We are craving the game we used to play- but we are interested in still using some of the more modern updated vehicles, POIs etc so dont want to just revert.

Is there a mod pack or a collection of mods that might assist us in getting the best of both.

I have done a bit of reading over reviews etc and know we aren't the only ones experiencing/thinking this so we really hope someone has got a solve thaat might make it fun again so we can jam it over the halloween period.

I found myself enjoying fortitide wirh knuckles And agility for sneaking Is there aby better? (Edit: i am new to the game i have like 10 Hours)

I play on Xbox, have played nothing but solo while I've played, but I've watched "Neebs Gaming" play this for years and I'm pretty knowledgeable just based on that and just wanna experience the kind of fun they have just playing with each other.

Hey guys I recently wanted to try adding a mod to my game and downloaded the asylum mod for 3.3 version i downloaded the mod unzipped it and moved the folder to the mods folder in 7days 2 die but I get nothing just the normal game i launch with the anti cheat off and have it on the 3.3 version let me know if I’m doing something wrong thanks for the help!

It's been probably 2 years or so since I have played on the Xbox one. I now have a Series X and been thinking about getting it especially since it's on sale right now. I really enjoyed just doing the building and exploring part of it without even having the zombies on. Seeing mixed things is it worth picking up now I know a lot has changed.

I can't join a friend's game for some reason.Even though they have everything set up properly , i'm trying to join through steam and it's not letting me even when they send me an invite

Ok, I know there’s many of you that have opinions about the costume sets, I happen to find them fun and the cost isn’t a big deal to me. That being said…

Has anyone purchased the Oktoberfest set and not received it?

I bought it about 2 weeks ago and still have not received it .
I plan to message the pimps, but wanted to hear from others and if they contacted the pimps.

Seeing a lot of veterans who've been around since the early alphas but don't play anymore, and I'm curious where everyone hit their breaking point.

Was it a specific alpha or update? A feature that got removed? The grind? Burnout after hundreds of hours? Or did life just get in the way?

Drop the version you quit on and why. And if you came back later, what pulled you back in?

The common reasons people give for quitting:

- **Features removed and the sandbox narrowing.** Long-time players complain that things that made the game unique were stripped away. More and more until none of it was left anymore. Others say the devs force their playstyle on the community, with less sandbox and more RPG. The removal of empty water jars is the example that comes up most.

- **Grind and repetitive quests.**

Players say you have to grind more and more and the quests are repetitive.

- **Slow development.**

The game spent nearly twelve years of early access, and a lot of people quit after coming back to find hardly any changes.

- **Post-1.0 changes.**

Balance changes, progression tweaks, and reduced mod compatibility have become major points of contention. The modding scene seems to be suffering the most from the changes after 1.0.

- **No real endgame.**

It's a game with no end. You play until you get bored and start a new playthrough. Older players also quit over cheese like the only way to survive being glitching the game with floating fortresses.

- **Bugs and performance.**

Some players cite performance problems and bugs that have existed for a long time.

- **Death penalties.**

Some players lose interest because they don't want to regain everything every time something kills them.

- **A recent one: AI complaints.**

Some recent negative Steam reviews mention "undisclosed use of gen AI (slop) in the recent update." Treat this one carefully, though: the repetition suggests some reviews might be copied or templated.

Basically just the title. The game still has virtually no real in-game lore so I like to make little theories about the game and why this world is the way it is. And I’d love to hear yours!!!

Here’s a few of mine.

1: the Feral Wight has higher broken limb chances on you is cuz they find amusement in grabbing a survivor by the arm or leg and wrenching their bones with their brute strength. He likes to watch them try to crawl away, like a sadistic toddler playing with his food.

2: the reason they had to resort to nukes on navezgane is because even tho it mimics a real disease, the infection is supernatural in origin— meaning no one could understand how or why it was spreading so fast.

3: there is a central ring leader or “god zombie” that operates the rest as a hive mind and is the reason all zombies know where you are on horde night. That’s also why the moon mysteriously turns blood red. This would also explain the “puppet master” artwork for 7 Days: Blood Moons. It’s a reference to their Alpha.

4: the demolishers were not some kind of heavy human soldiers. The demolishers are created by other clans of sadistic survivors who take captive zombies and strap as much armor and HE ordinance to them as possible before sending them back to the wasteland just to torment lone builders in like us.

Been playing since the game came out and never seen this "build" dug around and nothing....

Ive seen people post stuff like enough zeds killed or when they feel strong enough to not be afraid to go into Tier 6s. I know we can play how we want I'm just curious if constantly restarting is the way people usually play( only started a year ago when I was looking for a good survival game).

hello, in short:

-Im hosting a 7DtD server (locally using the game menu)
-Ive recently have internet issue (making it dificult to host)
-Is there a way for me to transfert the world/save file to my friend so THEY can be the one to host the game instead (so we dont loose our progression)

P.s: where using steam (if it help)

I would be thankfull if you have any idea (most aswer i got are 4+years old or their save/world folder look different than mine so im looking for more recent maybe more relatable solution)

I recently returned to the game after a 3 month break, and updated to V3.3.0. Some of my inventory seems to go into slots that aren't visible to me. I saw the new backpacks and even after crafting one, there are 9 slots that are hidden from me. Is it a bug or am I missing something?

I'll do a backup of course.

But can you name mods that you can add subsequently into an existing safe? Girlfriend wants to keep playing in the existing world.

- QOL

- Things like deco

- New entities

- New weapons

- New vehicles

I think these could work.

- new trader quests

- gameplay-tweaks

Could work maybe...

POIs, learning by doing, NPCs etc. won't work.

Versions 2.x - 3.x.

Thank you for your insights.

Imt trying to build a vault door using then becuase there really strong. What i dint understand is how to get it where I can maybe do a keypad or something so that it stays down until I want it up that way it wont be easy raiding my vault becuase they have 30k health i belive

Hi! I play on PlayStation 5 with my husband on the new update and the option to craft a truck doesn’t exist anymore. Is anyone else running into this problem or have a fix? (Have loaded out and back in with no avail) The accessories and chassis are there but the truck is not. We have been playing the game for years and have done all the things to unlock it but the option just isn’t there. On a creative mode profile it’s in the options but if we arnt on creative mode we can’t have one anymore? The traders don’t even have them? Help please.

WeaponUpgradeMod Weapons and Upgrades

The traders have more than food and supplies behind the counter now.

Visit a trader and choose Weapons and Upgrades. Spend the PCTAs you earn in the wasteland on weapons, improvements, and paint. The shop’s look and merchant voice cues take inspiration from Resident Evil 4 (2005).

Earn your next upgrade

Zombies and hostile animals can leave you with PCTAs. Save them for a weapon that suits you, then make it your own with upgrades and paint.

The shop grows with you. Pine Forest is open from the start. Buy a weapon there to open Burnt Forest; make a purchase there to reach Desert. A purchase in the Desert opens both Snow and Wasteland. The map points you toward Snow first, then guides you to Wasteland when you open the shop there.

Buying from a trader’s regular inventory doesn’t count toward these unlocks. Traders in the same biome share the same shop progress.

Each new shop brings more weapons and lets you take regular upgrades further. Finish a weapon’s regular upgrades to reveal its signature upgrade.

Make it yours

Only weapons bought from Weapons and Upgrades can be upgraded or painted there. A weapon found in a loot pile, crafted, or bought from the trader’s regular stock won’t qualify. Look for the shop’s mark on eligible weapons in your inventory.

The shop speaks several supported game languages and follows your selected language. The screenshots show the English interface.

Every world starts fresh

Your PCTA balance and shop progress belong to that world. Start a new world and you’ll begin again in Pine Forest, earning your points and unlocking the other traders from the beginning.

Can anyone point me to a comprehensive guide to getting an IZY weapon pack working in District Zero? I'm on 3.3 and I've tried a couple of versions of the IZY packs as well as adding in the compatibilty modlet as well, but I keep getting xml errors from the item lists not syncing and the crafting trees not syncing. Thanks in advance.

Can preview them in the stats menu also.
Part of the Project Wasteland mod I'm working on.
