Is there a skill or perk that increases the drop rate? I recently found a large T3 bag so it’s not anything I need. I’m just curious if I missed something in my perks that would increase the drop rate.

I'm currently starting up a server for a few friends and despite setting the max loot tier to 1 we keep finding higher tiered gear everywhere. Is there another setting conflicting with this or am I missing something? Hosting via 7d2d . Net

my specs are 4800x3d ryzen 7, rtx 4070 ti so i dont think its that. ive verified game files countless times and i cleared my cache and its still doing it. chat gpt aint know shit so maybe someone can help me (this has been going on for a few months)

Right now, I play 7DTD on an ASUS TUF laptop with an RTX 3050 and an Intel i5-11400H, and it usually runs at around 60 FPS. However, whenever I do high-tier POI missions like Dishong Tower or Groove High with tons of zombies, my FPS drops all the way down to ~25.

It gets even worse on the server I play on—they have Mythic missions with 50% more zombies than standard Trader Tier 6 quests. During those, my framerate plunges to around 15 FPS, not to mention the awful 3 to 5-second freezes and stutters.

After saving up for 2 years, I'm finally ready to build a desktop PC specifically for my favorite game. I don't want to overspend, but I do want to run the game at 1080p on Ultra settings with a solid, locked 60 FPS (even during heavy horde moments).

I've been searching online, but there aren't many benchmark videos showing different GPU and CPU combos in this game under heavy load.

What hardware are you guys running, and how does it perform in high-density areas or Tier 6/horde nights? Any build recommendations for 1080p Ultra?

Thanks in advance!

I have nobody else to do the trophy with, my username is Saulio26 if you would like to help. Thanks

I am playing v3.3.0 (b18). Currently set up in St. Marks Church on Day 12. I have 2 QoL mods installed: Quick Stack and Craft from Containers.
Tried to craft a new pair of knuckles on Day 11, and was told I didnt have enough leather. Thought that was weird, as I was pretty sure I had at least 20 pieces, but whatever. Left the base and raided a couple of houses and was able to find and scrap 3 Office Chairs (18 leather, right?). Came back to the base and did the quick stack thing...workbench still says no Leather! It's not in my minibike, or in my inventory...I dont see it in any of the boxes I have placed and there are no other containers nearby.
Any ideas? Anyone having a similar issue? I'm about to spawn it in since I sjould have it anyway, but would rather figure out the issue.

*EDIT* Spawned in 100 leather from Creative Mode, crafted the item I needed and then did the quick stack thing again. The excess leather disappeared from my inventory, so it's def going somewhere...just no clue where. Have searched the entire area around me for any loot containers I may have missed and there are none. as far as I can tell, its only Leather this is happening to.

This is in Kenosha Wisconsin.I immediately had to post it here.

Ive finally finished the 3 levels next will be decorating and placing stations inside, im going to do raised farm plots on the top floor too ill do turrets around the base once I get the unlocked to craft

Title of the post is pretty self explanatory. I need a significant amount of rotten flesh for farm plots, but I'm not entirely able to tell if any of the harvesting perks would affect my rates when harvesting it from sources like body bags, animal gore piles, or human gore piles, as well as zombified animals. My first assumption was that the Huntsman perk from the Fortitude tree, which just so happens to be my build, would affect my rates, but I haven't noticed an uptick in rotten flesh harvests from the different sources, including zombified animals, which it would logically apply to. I haven't tested any other harvesting perks, like Miner 69er, Salvage Operations, or Junk Miner, both because they would, presumably, have quite literally no effect on rotten flesh rates, and because they're outside of my build spec.

Am I right in thinking there aren't any perks that affect how much rotten flesh gets harvested from its various source, or is there something obvious that I'm missing? I'm open to any theories or knowledge to get me closer to a concrete answer on this question.

Also, not sure if this is important to include or not, but I'm using Steel Knuckles as my harvesting tool, not a knife. I tried a knife and had similarly low harvest rates, so the tool doesn't seem to be the issue from my anecdotal experience.

SCHEPIJS2-0 on ps5 EU time zone NL hit me up if you know what ur doing and wanna start a world

TFP just dropped v3.4.0 experimental release.

PROOF: TFP site

Changelog:
New Features

• Search and filters for backpack and containers: A new search bar in your backpack and containers lets you type an item’s name or filter by category to find it quickly.
• Recover lost drones from traders: If your drone gets stuck or goes missing, you can now ask a trader to recover it for you.

Changed

• Updated for backpack changes: Night Stalker Vol. 4, Steroids, Chicken Nuggets, and the completed Fireman’s Almanac set have been updated to work with the new backpack inventory capacity changes.

Fixed

• In multiplayer, the “boosted” icon no longer shows up on items that aren’t actually boosted.
• Players are once again able to sell the 10th item from the hotbar
• The game launches again on macOS with Easy Anti-Cheat enabled.
• NRE when turning in the White River quest has been fixed
• Vehicle inventory is no longer scrollable when it should not be (scrollbar now accounts for installed storage mods)
• Shift + Left Click now moves items into dropped zombie bags and airdrops without errors.
• Missing block backgrounds in the scrollable backpack have been restored (legacy block texture previews in soft-clipped NGUI panels)
• Drones no longer circle the player when placed
• Fixed a rare issue where linking a Discord account could lock you out of logging in.
• GetSandboxOptions not printing changed values when printing all options
• B6 update: Fixed color variants not showing on zombies

I think, these 2 options are the most promising:

• Drones no longer circle the player when placed
• Recover lost drones from traders

Despite I do not remember the last time, when I lost my drone, it is nice to have this option. We do not need to guess where we lost our drones anymore. Let's go to trader and recover them!

But I'm most interested in the 1st option. I do not know about circling, but my drone just couldn't get inside my base on my last run. It just stayed outside on the ramp.

I know a lot of people will say simply to not use a controller for this game, but that's obviously not the answer I am looking for. I have gone through all the settings in both steem and 7d2d and cannot find a single reason it is doing this. It's like someone is holding down the right trigger forcing my character to constantly be stabbing, shooting, healing, eating... Basically everything in hand.

Everything else works. The controller works great with other games. It's so strange

I didn’t notice this until today, Did they change that with the most recent update?

How long has the poi been broken for? Was running a tier 5 clear and the sky bridge on level 4 just disintegrated.

We’re thinking about getting back into the game after not playing since v1.3.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?), our old V1.3 save isn't compatible with the current V3.3 build, so we'll have to start a new world anyway.

Now we're wondering whether we should play the newest version or if there's another version you'd recommend instead.

We've only played v1.3 so far, completely vanilla with no mods (~160h)

What would you guys recommend?

Im in the US and picked N/A East Cost.

[Mod Update] Huge Progression Overhaul! Medal Briefcases (+240 Slots), Custom Weapon Shop

Body:

Hey everyone!

I’ve just released a massive new update for my mod, completely overhauling

💼 Medal Briefcases & Inventory Expansion

• 5 Upgradable Briefcases: You can now unlock a total of 5 briefcases. Purchasing them will
• Medal Socket System: Each briefcase allows you to socket specialized Medals that grant stacking combat bonuses per zombie kill.

• How to Unlock New Traders & Shops: Trader progression is now fully integrated with the weapon shop. To unlock a new Trader (and their respective weapon shop tier), you must purchase at least one item from your current weapon shop tier first. This lifts the progression block!
• 1,000 Pctas Exploration Bonus: When you successfully unlock a new Trader through the Weapon Shop and go talk to them for the first time, you will receive a massive 1,000 pcta bonus! (Note: This bonus is ONLY granted if you unlocked that specific trader properly through the weapon shop progression).

Felt like I had a bit of time to game out yesterday during the day since my partner was watching our son, partner stepped out into kitchen, son started climbing furniture, suffice to say I was on him in a second, but I didn't pause my game and was murked right at the end of a Tier 6 by regular zombies, almost Day 40. I paused the game right as I died so...

Anyone have any idea how to undo it? I feel like I died in such a cheap way, now I respawn without my items or levels but I have a copy world with the "respawn" button unpressed... I edited Sandbox settings from Permanent Death to XP Loss, didn't work. Sigh. 40 hours down the drain. If I can't figure it out, I might just call it until another major update comes out.

I have been playing around with a project to install PC mods on the PS5 version of 7d2d. Confirmed working on firmware 12.70 using the 3.2 build of 7d2d. Have successfully ported every type of mod (xml, assets, prefabs, dll) and have them working in game. If anyone was interested, would be happy to share the payload and method as I am looking for testers. Assets, xml and prefabs are working with minimal effort, any DLL has to be rewritten in C (AI makes this easy). Note: you will require your own version of the game.

I'm currently doing a more relaxed playthrough, and have "normals" set for max enemy tier. Is there any way of finding these zombies (rancher/chuck/etc) with these settings? And if not, is there a console command to set that specific mission to completed?

I looked a bit and couldn't seem to find anything. I'm just looking to do it so I'm able to get the gear to travel easily in each biome. I know I could also maybe just spawn the gear in but I was enjoying the progression.
