7 Days To Die?

[swift ruin]

im getting like 2k exp per normal zombies, and 8k-11k per green ones

and quests give like 60-100k exp

[neon tusk]

That is absurd. I just don't like going out of my way to do quests honestly, so I haven't gotten the quest exp ones, but yea, I get the high exp per zombie now, and about 1.5k per loot container I open.

How To Craft Ammo In 7 Days To Die https://gamerant.com/how-to-craft-ammo-7-days-to-die/

[neon tusk]

Yea, we definitely don't have enough ammo. I mean, it's not like we have literal boxes full of it that I've been actively scrapping because it's so useless to us.

[shut echo]

i want to be able to craft guns, but i dont have the books

[shut echo]

ye, we def don't have enough ammos that we don't know where to store

[neon tusk]

I think between the rest of us we can probably craft most guns you could need. Or we've found high ranking versions that are in the chests. Anything in particular you want?

[shut echo]

just want the skill?

[neon tusk]

Fair enough.

[red drum]

We can do a book hunt

hit all the traders and bookstores

[swift ruin]

we have a lot of book in the basement

@shut echo have you read all of the ones in basement?

[shut echo]

Maybe, cept the ones u need to learn 100 times

[swift ruin]

oh those

you can wear the nerd stuff on the chest near the stair before reading

the full set gives like 60% chance to give you 2 points for reading a book

instead of the usual 1 point

[shut echo]

Ah, I see

[neon tusk]

Those are also the books you need to learn if you want to craft stuff.

[shut echo]

I learnt some of them

[shut echo]

yes plz

[neon tusk]

Will probably be hopping on either later tonight or tomorrow night. Is there anything in particular anyone is looking for?

[swift ruin]

none for me

[shut echo]

@red drum

[red drum]

Yes dear?

[shut echo]

u got time to hop on?

@red drum

[red drum]

Yeah, give me a few minutes. Coming back from the store

Guy tried to sell me bootleg CDs. I was like, who owns a CD player anymore?

I mean, I have one, but what a terrible business plan

[neon tusk]

Yea, lol. That's really odd.

[shut echo]

i do

[red drum]

I still have cds from when I was a teen

greenday

nirvana, weezer

[shut echo]

i lost most of my cd collection after i went to the uk

[red drum]

smashing pimpkins

when I get fed up with american politics and move to canada, you can have my cds

[shut echo]

i like my Chinese music artiest

canadian polictis also sucks

[red drum]

politics sucks everywhere

[shut echo]

im spawned

[swift ruin]

[shut echo]

we are book hunting

so many zombies in the new town

we just found a snow land

and a grass land a while ago

[swift ruin]

@shut echo hello

@shut echo im in office smh

@shut echo so hows the book hunting?

@shut echo on jeep/copter?

@shut echo or on foot?

@shut echo why not take the jeep?

@shut echo yo hot woman?

@shut echo you reset from taking the exp skills smh

@shut echo did you guys do the big crack-a-book hq in the middle of the town?

@shut echo theres a big one like 600-700m south of our base

@shut echo like a 5-story building

@shut echo did panda just drive into a lake?

@shut echo panda gotta relog probably

@shut echo happened to me once

@shut echo like how far?

@shut echo how many kilometer?

@shut echo jeesus

@shut echo to which direction from the base?

@shut echo oh you went past the snow city?

@shut echo i think you guys went farther than me or gamer

@shut echo we made to the snow city/trader hugh

@shut echo dont

@shut echo my connection sucks

@shut echo panda prob didnt turn on his notification smh

discord

@red drum are you seeing this message

@red drum pog now i can just ping panda to talk

@red drum how much money do we have left btw

@shut echo so panda didnt seem to read his notifs

@shut echo can we re-add the boss mods?

@shut echo ask panda

@shut echo we can probably maybe do it when all 4 of us are online

@shut echo ehhhhhhhhh we'll be fine

@shut echo was away for a bit, what happened?

@shut echo no i mean i think panda talk about something?

@shut echo yeap maybe this weekend we can try?

@shut echo wtf is this slander hello???

@shut echo i closed the garage everytime

@shut echo yo check the cctv tapes

@shut echo what lvl are you guys now?

@shut echo panda you have enough skill points to be speedy punchy guy with 400% exp

go get exp skills @red drum

@shut echo wasnt me

@shut echo check the cctv tapes smh

@shut echo ask steve in the kitchen

@shut echo i think theres a blueprint in the basement for that

@shut echo the storage automation thingyM

?

@shut echo i mean its just us in the server, do we really need EAC?

@shut echo ah ok fair

@shut echo why thi

@shut echo i think we can scrap the ammo for materials for better ammos?

@shut echo the one with black/red tip

@shut echo i mean.. you guys are the ones online right now

@shut echo D:

@shut echo i'll try clearing the ammos later after work

@shut echo no promises

@shut echo my character is in the middle of the basement of an army base

@shut echo k good night panda + air

[jagged egret]

What the hell

[swift ruin]

i cant speak since im in office

so im relying on air to read discord notifs

[swift ruin]

didnt expect you guys to leave it at blood moon @red drum @shut echo

[red drum]

It wasn't bloodmoon when we signed off

[swift ruin]

oh

probably @neon tusk then

[red drum]

was like day 120 or so when we hopped off

[red drum]

"Boss" Mods we can try:

• https://7daystodiemods.com/diamond-raidboss/
• https://7daystodiemods.com/zombie-wraith/
• https://7daystodiemods.com/elite-zombie-server-side/

[neon tusk]

Nope, I haven't been on in a day or two irl.

[red drum]

must have been the day after we signed off

so it switched over when you logged in

[shut echo]

Did aldibe tank blood moon by himself?

[red drum]

You could technically afk at the hoard base and probably be ok all night

[shut echo]

I know, but he doesn’t need those exp anymore since he’s over 100

[red drum]

yeah, aldi hacks

[neon tusk]

[neon tusk]

We have too much stuff.

[red drum]

yeah

even with reduced loot rates

[neon tusk]

We need some sort of storage solution with either infinite space, or something that at least lets us stack ammo more or something.

[swift ruin]

whaddayamean

[swift ruin]

this is
a not wrong statement tbh
also i still want to play 7D2D so

[swift ruin]

all 3 lets go

@shut echo just respec to exp build smh

[shut echo]

When it’s bloody moon day

U guys spent it without me again

[swift ruin]

well not exactly u guys
just me

im sorry @shut echo

[swift ruin]

btw when i logged in and blood moon happened, it was like day 122

so somehow 2 days passed between you 2 playing and me

maybe spoopy?

[shut echo]

No idea

[red drum]

I dont remember the exact time

[swift ruin]

@red drum @shut echo @neon tusk no one playing?

[red drum]

Middle of the week, I was just relaxing

[shut echo]

doing my nails

[red drum]

Dip powder, acrylic, full gel?

[neon tusk]

A bit busy with other games at the moment. Will probably hop on for a couple of hours tomorrow. I'm basically playing a bit here and there, then taking a day or two break.

Also I've been a bit sick the past day or so and slept way too much.

[shut echo]

Structure gel

[swift ruin]

whats that

[swift ruin]

and how are you knowledgable in nail art wth

[red drum]

Structure gel is used to cover the nail to help prevent them from breaking or chipping

My dad had a nail salon as part of his practice for a while, I learned all kinds of stuff

[shut echo]

Caaaaan you do it though?

[swift ruin]

panda this is your chance

[red drum]

Nails? Yeah

If I had the tools

Been a while, but I still remember

[shut echo]

I have all the tools

[red drum]

👍🏻

[red drum]

Now I have to cook for Air and do her nails

[neon tusk]

You'll make a good housewife someday Hexy.

[red drum]

We now have "wraith" level zombies

and a rebalance of zombie difficulty

up to game stage 2000

testing

wraiths work, lol

they're not very hard

just new

I dunno how the rebalance works

hmm I dunno if that one is working

[red drum]

I dunno how to trigger them, I think it happens in wandering hordes and horde night

[red drum]

I added... some extra storage space

[red drum]

uh oh

hoard night

wasn't even paying attention

there's like a few game hours before it starts

I fixed the haord base some more as well

since there's some new zombies

IF the mod is working

this hoard night might be.. interesting

[shut echo]

dont start without me

[red drum]

I hopped out already, just waiting for people to say they want to hop in

[shut echo]

i want the exp

[red drum]

Let me know when 🙂

oh

I don't think the mod loaded because the guy set up the zip wrong.. hmm

Well, it works now

whew...

[shut echo]

gamer probably will be on too

[red drum]

I'm watching Netflix until everyone is ready

[neon tusk]

I'll probably be up for hopping on in about an hour or so. I guess ping me when everyone is starting to hop on.

[red drum]

I think we have like 5 in game hours until horde

and uh.. there's 28 new zombies

[neon tusk]

Anything I have to be careful about shooting?

[red drum]

No idea lol

[neon tusk]

Alright. I'm able to hop on whenever. Just ping me when you guys get on.

[red drum]

It's all modified existing zombies

[neon tusk]

Makes sense, lol. Otherwise we'd probably have to install something client side.

[shut echo]

i need the skill reset potion

[red drum]

The first one I found was a fat, irradiated zombie that had to crawl through the door because it was like 3x as big as usual

And took forever to kill

So we're in for some crazy

I have one, air

[shut echo]

cool cool

[neon tusk]

That sounds like the kind of thing that will cause problems with your hoard setup.

Or it may just get stuck in the pit and we won't have to worry about it.

[red drum]

Yeah, shit might get out of hand lol

Oh and the crawling half body zombies?

I saw one that flew

[neon tusk]

[red drum]

Just ping us when you're ready to hop on, @shut echo 🙂

[shut echo]

okay, just let me finishing lvling up my star rail char gear

[neon tusk]

No rush.

[swift ruin]

[shut echo]

Rdy to spawn @neon tusk @red drum

[neon tusk]

Launching the game.

Also ready to spawn.

[red drum]

ready to spawn

spawning

[shut echo]

Spawning.

[neon tusk]

Vc or text chat?

[shut echo]

We already in voice

[red drum]

new mods are wild, that was fun lol

@neon tusk this is the insane mod
https://7daystodiemods.com/darkness-falls-mod/

[neon tusk]

I'll have a look at when I get off.

[red drum]

I'll make sure to add this one
https://7daystodiemods.com/themeanones-ammo-production-facility/

[shut echo]

i havent read the books that aldible loot yet

where did u put them? @swift ruin

[swift ruin]

i put everything in the sorting chests

[shut echo]

[swift ruin]

if its not there then maybe gamer has moved it to the basement?

[shut echo]

will have a look next time i get on

[neon tusk]

Yea, I put all the books in the wall.

We have so many.

Finished sorting everything, and cleared out those wall cabinets so you can remove the hanging ones Hexy. You may also need to make another medicine box, because we're full up on all that too.

[swift ruin]

[neon tusk]

Also, we have so many pieces of armor, from now on I'm just scrapping any armor that's level 4 or lower.

All of us have level 6 anyhow, so could probably do the same with level 5, but I figure we'll keep it just in case anyone else decides to start playing when one of us who can make it isn't on.

(Well, all of us but Spoopy).

[swift ruin]

@red drum

a suggestion : since we have so many loots now, probably we can turn off the lootable zombies mod?

[neon tusk]

I disagree.

Partly because I get a lot of exp from looting.

But also because it feels kind of lackluster to not get anything from killing them, even if we have plenty of loot.

The loot problem is more just because we ransack buildings constantly.

And both of us at least have all the loot bonuses, so we get more stuff from doing so.

[swift ruin]

huh never noticed the zombie loot number actually

i thought it was small

so i killed a normal zombie for 2.2k exp

then i looted the body for 4.7k exp

that doesnt make sense

[neon tusk]

The loot EXP from zombies is the same as looting from containers.

You probably just looted the body while the kill exp was also listed, so it combined them.

[swift ruin]

nope its def different exp

i'll try screen record

[neon tusk]

Then you definitely have done something that isn't working as intended with exp. I do think that that quest exp skill is actually working for all your exp. I only get like 1.5-2k exp per container/zombie I think?

[swift ruin]

i assume its something like this as well

also sneak peek on what might appear on the sorting box

[neon tusk]

Actually, I think I might have realized why you get so much. If I'm not mistaken, I think the exp you get from looting is based on your current level to some degree. Since you're more than double my level, that's probably why you get so much exp from it.

[swift ruin]

hm

that might be right tbh

[neon tusk]

I have noticed that as time has gone on, I get more exp from things, even when I haven't put more points into perks that boost it, so I do think there's some sort of scaling that happens behind the scenes. If so, it may affect things that don't give shared exp more. I still get more exp per kill than per loot, but obviously I can loot a lot more than I kill.

[swift ruin]

@red drum so a demoman blew up in the tunnel

[neon tusk]

@shut echo Your sniper is in the "unused/old equipment chest" on the ground floor.

[neon tusk]

My internet went out, @swift ruin

Will be back on in a minute hopefully.

[red drum]

Ah, fun.

They do so much block damage :/

They do 5k damage to blocks

So we might have to make the tunnel metal

Since they have a 6 block radius .. I'll have to figure out spacing

I'll definitely have to do some more iron mining. We'll need soooo much metal

I might have to do a spiral ramp instead of ladder

They're losing focus on the climb up and going to rage mode where they attack blocks

But I thought I did the count right on distance

[neon tusk]

Hexy, whenever you get on, just a heads up that the workbench is creating a ton of cobblestone. Just clear it out a bit every now and then.

I've spent all night day working on my castle. Started to put the roof of the first floor up, so hopefully it has enough support it doesn't collapse, but I'll just check on that when I hop on after I get up.

Aldi and I did a blood moon like seven hours ago, so another is probably going to be coming up soon, by the way.

[red drum]

Hmm, that'll be interesting lol

I'll be home in like 3 hours

Going to put on some Netflix and get some base work done lol

I have a lot of things to fix, update, and I need to rethink our hoard base a bit

[shut echo]

How many blood moon days have u guys been through today

[red drum]

it sounds like only 1

depends how long they played lol

aldi's video is day 136 and I logged in and it's 145

so maybe 2

geez, this isnt just a demo blowing up

the whole ladder area is destroyed

[swift ruin]

i mean

at least the ladder stays

[shut echo]

Geez

[fickle kayak]

ladder op

[red drum]

I wonder if the hole needs to just be.. larger

like two ladders wide

[neon tusk]

Might help, since it does seem like they get stuck in a blob at the bottom.

[red drum]

@shut echo bloodmoon

[neon tusk]

How long?

[red drum]

10 game hours

[neon tusk]

I'll try to hop on. Or do we want to try and delay it for Air?

[red drum]

@neon tusk

[neon tusk]

Thanks.

[red drum]

see how these darkened?

those are your danger points

You COULD build 10 floors up with that solid green square around

and just not put too much in these spots of each floor

[shut echo]

Missed it again

I might be able to get on around 12am

[red drum]

we'll be on

I'm watching gamer build a staircase

[shut echo]

What a fun way to spend the night

[neon tusk]

It was significantly more difficult than it should have been.

[red drum]

I'm a riot at parties

[shut echo]

phew, im home. booting up the game

[red drum]

I'll hop on too!

[shut echo]

who took my gun @swift ruin @neon tusk

[swift ruin]

definitely not me

oh wait

was your gun an unmodified smg?

[neon tusk]

Sniper rifle in one of the chests on the main floor.

It's the chest by itself near one of the doors.

Assuming Aldi didn't take it.

[swift ruin]

oh definitely not me then

havent build into rifles yet

[neon tusk]

Also, I'm hopping back on.

[swift ruin]

im home in like 30min

[swift ruin]

just got home at 2.30AM huh

[red drum]

the boss mods I found:
https://7daystodiemods.com/diamond-raidboss/
https://7daystodiemods.com/banshee-queen/

[swift ruin]

also got 4 stacks of oil shale from this

[shut echo]

it was 12.30am, u got the time zone wrong

[neon tusk]

I'm genuinely sad. Blood moon, right as it starts and the zombies start to come, I found out that pressing down on the d pad drops my held item. Said held item was my sniper rifle. I spent most of the blood moon trying to find it, because it went out the window and into the pit.

[shut echo]

Gamer lost his beloved sniper rifle right b4 the blood moon

[swift ruin]

well thats what i called

[red drum]

lol that's how I lost my machine gun the first time

[red drum]

https://tenor.com/view/conga-line-the-mask-doing-the-conga-conga-dance-dance-line-gif-6473038109949900070

[swift ruin]

hi yes im applying to be american pls

should be enough until the end of the game hopefully

@red drum

[red drum]

oh geez

that's so much shale lol

@swift ruin my test worked

[red drum]

updated the horde base a bunch

also, found someone's motorcycle

the medic room floor has more storage now

tonight I think I'm going to just do missions

so I can try to get solar panel rewards

I don't have enough points in intellect though

[neon tusk]

That looks like mine, but mine should have been in my inventory. I got disconnected this morning though when my power flickered off and I just called it a night.

[red drum]

it's near the horde base

I think I spent 4 hours fixing the horde base

so many broken blocks..

this house looks spooky

[neon tusk]

Yea. At one point one of the demolitionists exploded in the middle of it all while Air and I were fighting stuff last night.

[red drum]

in honor of arbor day, I went arboring

[neon tusk]

Nice.

Also, even before Aldi went shale hunting again after I hopped off, we should have plenty of gas. Turns out that 100+ minute crafting time worked wonders.

[red drum]

yeah there's like 3 rows

that's about a day or two of you auguring

I hope you all like the changes to the horde base

[neon tusk]

I'll probably hop on after a while once I'm more awake and have eaten. I only slept like four hours the previous night, and today I slept for like 12 to make up for it, but I'm still kind of drowsy as a result.

[red drum]

relatable

@shut echo

[red drum]

@neon tusk !

i-beam have HORIZONTAL support

[neon tusk]

i-beams do? But not anything else?

So odd. But definitely good to know if so. I'm kind of worried I'll come back to my castle and half of it will have collapsed.

[red drum]

Structural Integrity = RoundDown ( Max Load ÷ Mass )

Metal Trussing:
320 ÷ 20 = 16
Structural Integrity for Metal Trussing is 16.

but I think that's all metal blocks, not just trussing/i-beams

[neon tusk]

Interesting.

At some point you mind going to the castle and placing markers on anything that looks like it's about to fall apart?

[red drum]

yeah

steel blocks have the same

interesting, I need to make more steel

[neon tusk]

I really wish there was a way to see that kind of stuff on my own so I didn't have to ask you. Don't know why the devs would make it such an integral part of building, but not give players a simple way to view it.

[red drum]

no idea

[neon tusk]

Ah well.

[red drum]

you wont like it

but I added some blocks

so your top floor doesn't collapse

just an example

it's just build blocks, so you can pick them up

but it's the corner of your top floor

was all red

now it's solid green all the way up

you have staggered support

as in your supports on one floor don't line up with those below

so there's a lot of unsupported blocks

this is your biggest offender

[neon tusk]

That is annoying, but fair. I'll have a look at it when I hop on. If the steel blocks do as you say though and can be used for horizontal support, I may go around a few spots and add steel beams to spread the weight around better.

How do the balconies look?

Ugh. It's annoying that it's kind of hard to look up info about this stuff as well, since the wiki is super outdated and still has stuff listed from earlier alphas with only a note saying "it may not be accurate now", rather than whether or not it's actually changed.

[neon tusk]

Hmm...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fcDFTPBDbo

This gives me a couple of ideas on where I can upgrade things specifically to help out. In particular I can upgrade the wall that exists at each floor and it should help out. Will end up looking a bit weird but it should theoretically improve the structure a lot.

Hmm. I have a couple of ideas. No idea if they'll work, but they should in theory. Will have to experiment a little.

[red drum]

that's not how it works

they just can hold up more weight across the horizontal

[red drum]

the biggest one is iffy, but fine

Horde night

7 game hours

I logged out

[neon tusk]

I guess whenever someone hops on to do the hoard ping me and I'll jump on then instead of doing it by myself.

[neon tusk]

And yea, after I watched that video I have a better understanding of how it all works. Theoretically horizontal beams do add a bit more support, but only because they're pulling from whatever wall block they're attached to, which means that the max support they can provide is capped by the wall block.

[shut echo]

i will hop on in a few hrs

mybe 2 hrs

[red drum]

ping me, I'll hop on.

[shut echo]

ready to spawn @red drum @neon tusk

[neon tusk]

Connecting.

[swift ruin]

@red drum food hunger issue is caused by the healing extra skill, the 1 health per second

it takes from your food bar

[red drum]

Ah ok

Sorry I wasn't good company last night

[swift ruin]

[neon tusk]

No worries. Are you alright?

[swift ruin]

anyone still playing?

[neon tusk]

I plan on it. I've just been so busy with other stuff the past few days.

[shut echo]

Ye, me too. I want to see how much level I can get after I leveled my exp fiend to lvl10. Also want to work on the mansion

[neon tusk]

Yea, I think I want to focus on exploring and leveling some more before I go back to work on my castle. In particualr I have a few areas I discovered back when I went on my road trip around the map that I want to go back and explore.

[shut echo]

Ye, I would like to tag alone with the exploring

[neon tusk]

I suppose ping me whenever you go to hop on next time and if I'm awake we can go to explore some of them. Some are kind of in the far reaches of the map and probably won't be as interesting as they looked as I passed by, but they'll at least give some exp from killing things, lol.

[shut echo]

Maybe sat night

[neon tusk]

Fair enough.

[swift ruin]

k i left the server on blood moon day 168 at 9AM @shut echo @neon tusk @red drum
ping me when we coop again pls

[shut echo]

👍

[neon tusk]

Good to know, and yea, ping me when you guys go to hop on for it.

[shut echo]

gonna login in a bit @swift ruin @neon tusk

[swift ruin]

[shut echo]

are you? gamer dont seem to be online

[swift ruin]

im logging in

@neon tusk

[shut echo]

@swift ruin ready to spawn

[swift ruin]

@red drum

[neon tusk]

Sorry. My sleep cycle got thrown off and I overslept.

[neon tusk]

Also, I talked to Hexy the other day. I think he's still taking a bit of a break from internet stuff. It's not anything we did, so don't worry. Maybe just hold off from pinging him too much.

[swift ruin]

ah ok, sorry panda for the ping

[shut echo]

@swift ruin @neon tusk ping me if you guys r online

[shut echo]

ye, we guessed u were deep asleep last night

[neon tusk]

Yea, my sleep got really thrown off the other night, (still kind of thrown off actually), because we had a power outage that started right as I was going to bed, lasted an hour, then after it came back on I waited like twenty minutes to make sure it would stay on, only for it to go out again immediately after I tried to go to bed again.

And unfortunately between the noise from my neighbors, and the heat, I can't really sleep without my AC on unless I'm absolutely passing out.

[neon tusk]

Also, sorry I haven't hopped on in general lately. I've been trying to wrap up some stuff in Eiyuden Chronicles since I'm at the end of the game and I've got a really bad habit of not finishing games fully. More than likely I'll try to sleep more tonight and get back to my usual cycle, then hop on tomorrow at some point.

[shut echo]

no rush, i play casual

[swift ruin]

its weekdays

[red drum]

Apologies, had some rough life stuff going on.

Everyone is free to ping me any time.

[neon tusk]

Probably about to hop on @red drum @swift ruin @shut echo if any of you happen to be awake and planning on hopping on. If not, (which is understandable since it's the middle of the week), no worries. I kind of feel like mindlessly hunting zombies so if you don't I'll probably just wander around killing stuff for a while.

[shut echo]

i might hop on later

[neon tusk]

Fair. Not sure how long I'll be on. Could be an hour, could be ten.

[neon tusk]

I hopped off for now. My eyes are starting to hurt me so I think I probably need to sleep some. I did run around and cleared out a few zombies here and there. Got a rather silly perk that lets me load multiple arrows into my crossbow now, so now it's semi-automatic for three shots before I have to reload.

[swift ruin]

left the game at blood moon day, 12pm @shut echo @neon tusk @red drum

[shut echo]

should have let me know when u r on. im too scared to be in the game by myself

[swift ruin]

only online for like

an hour i think earlier

[neon tusk]

Ping me whenever you hop on next. Hopefully I won't be asleep this time.

[swift ruin]

might hop on in like

3hrs

[neon tusk]

Ping me if you do, then.

[swift ruin]

@neon tusk i got home earlier than expected
@shut echo @red drum also tagging in case u guys are up

[neon tusk]

Sure, I'll hop on.

[shut echo]

too early

[swift ruin]

welp

[shut echo]

still awake?

[neon tusk]

Aldi was still on when I hopped off, but that was an hour or so ago.

[shut echo]

i dont see him playing anymore

[neon tusk]

Then yea, he probably headed to bed.

I'll probably hop back on later tonight if you'll be on then.

[shut echo]

not sure if i would be able to hop on early tonight, maybe arond 10pm pst

[neon tusk]

I should be up but not sure.

[neon tusk]

Sorry. I won't be on. I'm struggling to stay awake.

[swift ruin]

i just woke up

[shut echo]

We can play later

[swift ruin]

i gotta leave in 1 hr

[swift ruin]

@shut echo @neon tusk @red drum any gamers gaming rn?

[neon tusk]

I'm about to eat some food, but I can hop on once it's done if you'll still be on.

[swift ruin]

i'll prob be online for 1-2hrs

[neon tusk]

About to hop on if you're still on.

[swift ruin]

@red drum new boxes are gamers, not me

[neon tusk]

Aldi loots too much.

[swift ruin]

thats also a true statement

[neon tusk]

I'm off now. I basically spent the entire time I was on reorganizing the basement. vehicle parts now go into one of the columns in the center, and any electronics and traps go into the column on the other side.

All the weapon and tool lockers on the wall are organized by type. It should just be as simple as quick stacking to put whatever you find in there. From now on I'm scrapping anything we have more than five of until it gets down to five, and all the lower tier weapons aside from one of each type so you can quick stack into those chests.

To that end, if anyone has stuff they want to scrap but it'll take too long, there's now two boxes beside the workbenches that are dedicated to putting stuff in to scrap. I also doubled our capacity for ammo on the wall, just because, but still feel free to scrap any spare ammo you find instead of storing it.

[red drum]

I toned the loot down a bunch, added a new zombie boss, better stack limits, and....removed the buggy extraperk mod since it was kind of broken.
To compensate, I added an update to our base perks and added a new multiplayer damage mod for weapons that you have to craft up. This is the more recommended mod path according to the forums.

Everyone will need to respec to clear out the bugs since the extra perks are no longer available. I can't compensate for Aldi abusing the hell out of the EXP perk though.

Losing the extraperks effectively makes punching even more useless so I need to respec as well, but makes the game more balanced and more of a challenge for everyone. There's a brawler mod I may try just in case.

Base per updates can be seen here:

And everyone can now craft these:

Unfortunately all our loot makes crafting these mostly trivial

since they're supposed to be a tough progression, but we def dont have enough for everyone to get a 1.5x

[swift ruin]

[red drum]

This box in the med area has reset potions

[swift ruin]

k i'll give it a try

[red drum]

I did trigger the instant kill punch on an elite which was kind of neat

[neon tusk]

Honestly the extra perk mod wasn't that buggy though was it? I think the only perk that really caused issues was a base game perk for healing that you and Aldi had, not the extra perks?

[swift ruin]

i miss the runspeed already

[neon tusk]

I'm definitely going to miss the damage and exp bonuses for sure. Exp in particular, since enemies give so little as you get to higher level.

[swift ruin]

oh yep exp is also fixed

used to get 19k from just looting, now its only 1.3k

[neon tusk]

Not going to lie, I'm really not a fan of that.

[swift ruin]

well i mean

now you dont have many skills to level up tho

oh its blood moon rn btw @red drum @neon tusk

[red drum]

Read the base perk updates

You might find some interesting things in there

[neon tusk]

Will give it a look in a moment. Playing warframe at the moment so I can't hop on.

[red drum]

We already get more skills points than we should

And anyway, all that exp from looting didn't really make sense

[neon tusk]

Yea, it's just that having the extra skills gives something to work towards. As is, it's not like we need loot or to explore or anything other than to level up, and with it being a longer to grind to level up, it makes exploring a lot less rewarding on top of having less to look forward to. I do agree that Aldi took it to the extreme from leveling so much via questing in particular, but he also plays more than the rest of us combined.

[red drum]

If you all want it back, I'll add it

I'm just saying it had a lot of bugs and exploits

[swift ruin]

eh i dont mind this new settings tbh

[red drum]

I was just trying to find a way to balance the game since Aldi was at an extreme and I couldn't play other than staying in base

[neon tusk]

I'll have to have a look in game at these new perks to really make up my mind. Are those changes just the new version, or is it that effect in addition to the base perk's effects? Because if they're not, it seems like a few of those are straight downgrades compared to the base game's perks. Like that list just says Deadeye, the sniper perk, effectively increases range and durability, but doesn't increase the damage they do anymore unless you were already hitting the damage falloff distances.

Let me hop on real quick and have a look.

[neon tusk]

I'm not against balance changes at all. It's just kind of an issue in my book if we end up having less to do as a result, or if it ends up too far on the other end.

[red drum]

See how it feels with these

[swift ruin]

you can definitely feels the damage difference

that extra perk mods was op

dont feel much difference with the amount of loot

but at least the new stack limit helps

[neon tusk]

Stack limit is definitely a massive improvement. Will really have to see regarding the perks and all though. We may end up needing to disable the stronger zombies from that one mod, but will have to see. I didn't have a chance to reset before the blood moon, so I'm not sure if my bad damage during it was due to that or not. Felt like my bullets were doing nothing to the strong guys even with hp ammo.

[shut echo]

I might get on a bit later

[neon tusk]

I'm off for now. I do definitely think we'll need to consider turning off that stronger zombie mod, because they take so many bullets to kill now. Fought a small hoard with a couple of them and my SMG nearly broke trying to go through them all. That said, I'll leave it up to you all to decide how you feel, because it could just be me.

@red drum I am sorry I've been so negative about it. I know part of it is just that I'm extremely cautious about changes that take away stuff.

[red drum]

The problem really is that we used that extraperk mod so long everyone was used to it

it made it untenable

it made zombies too easy and there was no challenge, so we had to add challenge, and then we relied on it more to the point of abuse, which meant there was no way to go from there

[neon tusk]

I think part of it is that we need to find some sort of middle ground. Particularly since while there was some stuff to abuse there, there was also a lot of nice small QoL things as well.

Also, while I might be in the minority on this, I never really had a problem with the zombies not being difficult. In some regards that's more fun to me than if they're just bullet sponges.

[red drum]

I could also remove the lootable zombies

and add the zombie hunter mod now that it's updated

it has it's own version of lootable zombies

but also perks and craftables

to give you something more to work towards

[neon tusk]

That could be worth checking into.

Honestly, one minor thing I'm missing right now is that I had 100% loot speed, so I didn't have to wait every time I opened a container.

But regardless, I'll wait until you all play some and see what you think. Like I said, I know part of it is just that I'm naturally very skeptical of changes.

[red drum]

Ok, no more OP lootable zombies. Zombie hunter installed

looking for conflicts

oh, zombie hunter is server and client side

Zombie Hunter file:
https://mega.nz/file/xvVVDYzY#83RlK7wztKE5-DQhRJ5sjRQrhN6_kzMztHbY2nXJejs

[neon tusk]

I'm guessing unzip and place in the mods folder of 7 days?

[red drum]

yeah

elites still give epic loot

[neon tusk]

Installed it. I'll hop back on later tonight and give it a shot.

[red drum]

yeah gamer, make the damage mod

it's a big deal

[neon tusk]

A weapon mod I take it?

Ugh. Now I'm curious about this mod. I want to play warframe, but I guess I can hop on for a while again.

Ooh, interesting, if I'm looking at the same mod, there's magic stuff you can get too via it, like being able to teleport back to your bedroll?

[red drum]

there's a few new weapons

and tools

and perks to help with those

which should work with the base perk tweaks

and the multiplay damage mod should help us with more people on the server

[neon tusk]

I think I may have figured out what I did wrong. Relogging to see.

[neon tusk]

@red drum

[red drum]

fuck all the names are hashed

[neon tusk]

Nevermind then if it'll be too much trouble.

I don't want you to have to stress over it too much.

[red drum]

eh

it's a puzzle 🙂

[neon tusk]

Fair enough, lol.

[red drum]

what's your steam id

[neon tusk]

76561198043459310

[red drum]

one of these is you

[neon tusk]

Hmm.

[red drum]

spoopy is the middle one

he joined last

[neon tusk]

Of course. solid logic there.

[red drum]

the file date created is the lastest, it's not blind guessing lol

when did you log on

[neon tusk]

I meant on the part of the file system itself, lol.

One sec. I can check when my first steam achievement was in it.

[red drum]

we all have different dates

I'm bound to be the first

so that makes me 523b

[neon tusk]

August 8th, at 19:06 is when my first achievement was.

[red drum]

you're 519e then

[neon tusk]

Interesting. I honestly wonder what the string actually means then.

Maybe backup any files before you do anything, by the way. (Just in case you haven't.)

[red drum]

nope

519 is aldi

I figured out how to find out

[neon tusk]

Oh?

[red drum]

I'm 523b

confirmed

spoopy confirmed

you're 3b9b

8/8

oh aldi was 8/9

[neon tusk]

Yea, makes sense. I do think I was the first to start playing other than you, then Aldi started the day after.

Should I try to hop on?

[neon tusk]

Brb

[red drum]

it's up

[neon tusk]

Back. hopping on.

[swift ruin]

logging in

[red drum]

horde night

[red drum]

I'll disable elites and look for better zombie mods once everyone is offline

[neon tusk]

Lol. Fair.

I went through so many bullets. I crafted full stacks of HP ammo thinking they'd last me a while. Then the hoard came and they didn't last a single night.

[red drum]

the only compatible zombies are decorative ones

I could edit the elite mod to drastically reduce the spawn

so they're more of a miniboss kind of effect

[neon tusk]

That might be the way to go if it's not too much trouble for you.

I get why only visual mods would work with the zombie hunter mod, since they change the way zombies react to being damaged with certain effects, so any "new" zombies wouldn't get that benefit.

Hmm. Give me a link to that elite zombie mod. I might be able to make a patch that would make them function the same. I'd have to look at the code for both mods a bit, but just glancing at the hunter mod, the way it works seems pretty straightforward.

[red drum]

https://7daystodiemods.com/elite-zombie-server-side/

[neon tusk]

I'll try to look into it a bit more tomorrow night, since I do need to go to bed soon because I've got to visit my family tomorrow, but honestly I don't think it'll be too hard to go off of the existing mod's code to add it in.

[neon tusk]

I lied. I haven't slept yet. @red drum No idea if it'll actually work, but in theory it might. Only way to find out is to test it. Should theoretically be able to install this like any other mod, and as long as it loads after the other two, it should work?

[red drum]

what did you change?

[neon tusk]

Basically just added the loot script from the hunter mod to add onto the elite mod's zombies. They should, if it works, all be able to be hit with the hunter mod knives to get the same loot a radiated zombie would have.

Again. If it actually works. I'm half asleep and I did an easy copy/paste with entity names replaced.

In theory it should even just work server side, but if it doesn't I guess try installing it client as well then test again.

Should work for all the elite zombies unlesss I missed one.

[red drum]

I can try it

[neon tusk]

Like I said, you should just be able to put it in your mod folder like any other mod.

[red drum]

yeah

should work the same

[neon tusk]

If it doesn't end up working, I'll delve deeper into things tomorrow, and see if i can find another way to patch it. I'm not 100% sure if mods can even patch each other or not with how the game handles them, so if it can't serve as a patch, I'd probably have to add in the code directly to the elite mod's entity list.

[red drum]

doesn't seem like that worked

we probably have to edit the base mod

or add the references to those zombies in the hunter mod

[neon tusk]

I'll look at it more tomorrow then, and see what I can come up with.

[red drum]

if not, we can just lower the spawn chance

and that should be fine

we'll have elites as micro bosses, a mini boss named devourer, and the super boss we fought earlier

and there's still a couple other bosses we could turn on

a lot of mod packs use this elite zombie one though

because they're so much harder

I might post our mod pack once we get it all refined

[swift ruin]

wow veteran is a bullet sponge wtf

2k normal 9mm ammo

for 46k exp and shitty loot

[neon tusk]

They really are.

Also, couldn't sleep. My brain was stressing out too much about why that mod I made wasn't working.

Turns out, the name file for the mod couldn't have a space in it in one spot, or the whole thing just wouldn't load, so that's why it wouldn't work. I've fixed that now, so I could give Hexy the new version so elite enemies will be harvestable, but there is an error I want to fix first that isn't an actual issue, but it'll help if I fix it to bring it in line with the rest of the hunter mod.

[neon tusk]

And done. Hopefully for real this time. I tested it out in my own world, but @red drum here it is and I'll leave it to you to test it and make sure I didn't mistype at the last moment or something. Should be able to be loaded onto the server only without any issues, since it just uses data generated by the Elite mod and the Hunter mod.

The name has those two ZZs in front because load order isn't a thing unless they're lower in the list alphabetically. The way the mod works is just that it adds the loot scripts to the elite zombies, so now they can be cut up with the hunter mod blades for materials, and now their loot drops pull from that mod's setting for radiated zombies.

I did increase the drop rate of the two radiated materials from them when compared to normal radiated zombies by 5%, meaning they have a whopping 25% chance of the lower tier material and 20% of the higher one, instead of 20% and 15% respectively. Still low, but it's a little better to represent it being a harder enemy.

And now with that actually done, and off my mind, maybe I can finally sleep.

[swift ruin]

house defense no longer strong enough to hold elite zombies

[red drum]

Gamer and I had one of those yesterday

I'm going to try to learn how the spawn rates work and lower it for those

[swift ruin]

also feels like the hunter mod somehow increase the default block damage?

its easier now to accidentally shot a block/dead body out of existence

[red drum]

the damage mod

it increases all damage, including block/entity damage

so we do more damage to bodies

lol, the drone uses the in game teleport command to stay near a player

[neon tusk]

Lol. Also, is my patch working?

[red drum]

I just uploaded it

someone is on the server

[neon tusk]

Probably Aldi.

[red drum]

I wonder if he found the devourer yet

[neon tusk]

How strong is it?

Also, will probably hop on in a couple of hours. About to eat once I get home. Visiting family and grocery shopping back to back means I'm exhausted.

[red drum]

I dunno how strong

it's a mini boss though

so not as bad as the big guy

there's like 4k lines of entity groups for these elites

they all have boss level loot tables

what's our gamestage?

I see why we are getting so many..

[neon tusk]

Yea, there's a lot going on with them. And any changes you make to one you have to duplicate across all of them.

[red drum]

I'm just editing out chunks of the groups

so that instead we just see less of them

but it looks like there's like 1000 rows for different game stages

[neon tusk]

Kind of a risky way to do it, but it may work.

Hopefully it won't break anything.

[red drum]

if it breaks, I just replace with a backup

there's entire gamestages with nothing but elites in the pool

oh I see how this is working

just have to essentially set all the chances to like 0.01

which is a 1% chance to spawn

they're all over the place

I understand why people praise this mod though, dude put in effort to balance it

[neon tusk]

Yea, we honestly only have trouble because we've been going so long.

[red drum]

well that and when aldi is on, our gamestage is ballooned out of proportion

@swift ruin are you in game right now, what's your gamestage?

well

I don't know how an entity group is chosen

I assume the base game does it

what if I set all their hp to half what they had

[neon tusk]

Maybe 80%. Half might make them too easy.

And yea, entity groups are a base game mechanism.

So you'd have to change something in the main files or make a mod to adjust how it's chosen most likely.

[red drum]

ok reduced their boss loot drop rate and decreased HP

reduced spawn chance on some of them

they'll spawn in POIs

I dont know what a sleeperhorde is though

oh it's game difficulty

ok we can restart whenever aldi notices us

this mod is part of a pack I was looking at

https://www.nexusmods.com/7daystodie/mods/1330

it's like the extra perks mod.. sort of

and then there's this one

https://7daystodiemods.com/perfection/

which locks you behind getting certain things until you hit a particular level

no one is online, restarting server

[shut echo]

why it sounds the game is harder now

[swift ruin]

already found it, not as strong as veteran tbh

[swift ruin]

1.1k

[red drum]

Aldi wanted bosses

I tried to nerf aldi

[shut echo]

ye, do that instead

[red drum]

Elites all have less HP now

[shut echo]

im too scared to repair my mansion now

[red drum]

And if gamers patch works, should drop zombie parts like other zombies

The game should be tamer now, air

Unless Aldi is on

[shut echo]

aldibe is actually the boss here

[red drum]

He makes all the bad stuff spawn

[swift ruin]

should i log back in

[shut echo]

i will make sure to beep him in the head next time i see him

[red drum]

I restarted so we can test the changes

I can stealth shoot him with a bow

[swift ruin]

im just gonna help gamer with digging trenches now

[shut echo]

we are all watching u aldibe

[red drum]

I'll test the change and then I have to finish sanding my latest wood project

while I still have light

100+ degrees out, still gets dark earlier now..

Arizona is the worst

[shut echo]

it was between 11-20 C here few days ago

[red drum]

1.1k means the spider has a 60% chance to spawn, everything else listed has a 100% chance

        zombieCopElite

@neon tusk I think it works

[swift ruin]

yep you can harvest elite zombs now

[red drum]

my health edits worked also

[swift ruin]

[red drum]

it has minions

and the minion gave me like 15% infection from one bite

insane

[swift ruin]

wat

ive only fight it on rooftop

is it only those 2 bosses or are there more @red drum ?

[red drum]

there's 2 enabled, there's 3 more

I could turn on

[swift ruin]

[red drum]

a nother customer one named shocker

and 2 that are just hardcore versions of diamond and the shrieker

they all follow standard zombie rules thankfully, so they despawn if you run far enough and they'll lose interest if you're sneaking

[shut echo]

are you in game?

[red drum]

he logged off

[shut echo]

need someone with fast smelting skills to make some iron bars for me

[red drum]

iron? we should have a bunch

let me hop on

OK, 1000 iron crafting

[swift ruin]

work time soon

[red drum]

I have instant crafting lol

[red drum]

need more?

I made another 1000

I logged off so you don't have to talk to me

[shut echo]

i mean the bars for fencing

[shut echo]

?

[neon tusk]

Glad to hear it.

Might not hop on tonight. So drained at the moment.

[red drum]

i'm hyped up on caffiene and had to deal with my mother today so I'm overly talkative

[red drum]

Use the block shape, they have more hp

Iron bars have like 1500 health, concrete blocks in bar shape have 10000

[shut echo]

but it looks ugly

[neon tusk]

Can you paint it?

[shut echo]

also takes forever to upgrade from wood to steel

[shut echo]

smelting one is round bars, upgrade one is sharpe edged

[neon tusk]

Don't upgrade. Just make it directly. Upgrading uses more materials anyhow.

Isn't there some round concrete blocks?

[shut echo]

how do you make it directly?

[neon tusk]

Are you looking for steel or concrete? Either way it should be listed as something like "steel block" or "concrete block".

[shut echo]

steel

[shut echo]

ah, i see

[neon tusk]

Then yea, just look up steel block in the menu, then you can use the shape method like normal. Just be careful with placement because you can't pick them up like you can building blocks.

Best way to do it is use building blocks to figure out what and where you want to place something, then replace them with the steel version.

[red drum]

You can craft bars straight up but they have so little health, but the default ones that spawn on map creation have a ton more

Kind of silly

[red drum]

too hot out..

[swift ruin]

just stay inside and game

[red drum]

I could but I really want to finish this since it's the last piece of my new desk

oh, horde night

time to test the new defenses I guess

[shut echo]

hoard night gone?

[red drum]

I jumpe doff

there's a few hours until it triggers

I'll hope on if you want help

did you get to play yet with the new mod?

I pinned it

make sure to install that

it has an exp perk

I can give you more time also

just ping me

[shut echo]

oh, i have to install it first?

[red drum]

yeah, the zombie hunter one needs to go into your mod folder

it has it's own assets

[shut echo]

do i need to download all of them?

[red drum]

it doesnt have a system to download assets automatically from server

just the one

https://mega.nz/file/xvVVDYzY#83RlK7wztKE5-DQhRJ5sjRQrhN6_kzMztHbY2nXJejs

this one

extract it to your mods folder

[red drum]

which website?

if you don't trust that link
https://www.nexusmods.com/7daystodie/mods/5280?tab=files

[shut echo]

it seems that changes everything

[red drum]

nope

it adds a different type of loot to the game

that you can complete ignore if you want

there's a new perk tree

you don't need to get them

[shut echo]

so i can still play if i dont use it?

[red drum]

you could yeah

[shut echo]

good

i dont need more loots/skills

plus not very into the aethetics

[red drum]

it's meant to be paired with a UI mod also that makes the whole game like that, but no one likes it

[red drum]

I'm going to play bg3 while I wait to see if any of you want to log for horde

need to turn my pc off, room so hot

[red drum]

i feel that

I had to turn a fan on

[shut echo]

my fan's always on

pc produces too much heat

[red drum]

My AC is on year round

but that's just arizona

[shut echo]

yup, last time i was there during summer. it was over 40 degree cel

[red drum]

sounds about right

[shut echo]

and no tree shades

[red drum]

we're over 100 days in a row over 37.8.C

it's a new record

[shut echo]

only gonna get hotter due to global warming

[red drum]

yup

gotta move north

@neon tusk you MIGHT have access to dm command now for stability

[shut echo]

alaskaaaa

[red drum]

that's too north

though it does have a tropic area

I'm not ice trucking my way to 6month rotations

[shut echo]

alaska sounds safe

[red drum]

I had an old boss who lived there

she said it was really boring

I've known a couple people online from there also

it's just ice and polar bears

[shut echo]

ye

[swift ruin]

why am i being blamed again

im literally just working my life away

[neon tusk]

Oh? I'll check when I hop on next.

Meanwhile the past day or so here it's been oddly chilly. I actually had to turn my ac on fan only mode last night because it was too cold.

Granted it's 7 am at the moment, but it's 50F/10C here right now, and we don't usually get temperature this low until October or so.

[red drum]

It's cooling off here. Supposed to be under 100.F by the weekend

Like.. 93

[neon tusk]

Personally, I'm missing the warm weather already. I don't like being cold.

[red drum]

I prefer the cold

[neon tusk]

Cold weather always makes me just want to curl up and do nothing. Well, more nothing than I normally do, anyhow.

[swift ruin]

anyone playing?

[shut echo]

Becuz for some reason ur white driver supply ended up in my inventory and I can’t get rid of it

[swift ruin]

oh that bug

i think you can take a fetch quest on any trader, start the quest, and just turn it in to the trader again

at least thats how i fixed mine

[shut echo]

didnt work. i tried many things

[swift ruin]

wow

shocker is way harder than both veteran and devourer

[shut echo]

Last time I logged in, there’s a boss right beside our base. My char woke up having shocker debuff on

Panda had to lure it away for me

[red drum]

After leading and then running away from it, I knew that one would be fun for you @swift ruin

Veteran should shoot it's rockets more often

But it's knock down is a huge pain, I thought I died and got revived. Was not expected

The last two bosses not enabled have unique auras

They're by a different developer though

[neon tusk]

Yea, the knockdown on the veteran is super annoying honestly. I died at one point because I was at full health and literally couldn't move while it beat on me due to the knockdown animation.

[swift ruin]

also i think theres an issue with the elite zombie cops?

[neon tusk]

That's probably an issue with my patch. I thought I had put them all right, but let me double check it and fix it.

Alright. @red drum Here's the updated version that should fix that. Hexy will have to put it in the server's mod folder when no one is on to implement it though Aldi, so for now just be prepared to close the console whenever you kill a radiated fat elite zombie.

The problem is that whoever made the Elite mod shortened the names of the versions of some of the zombies he added, compared to the base game, so when I set up the loot lists some of them were slightly off. I thought I had fixed all of them, but I guess I missed one. That one in particular is called "zombieFatCop" in the game itself, not just "zombieCop".

[red drum]

uploaded/updated/server restarted

[neon tusk]

I ended up sharing my patch on that mod site, just in case anyone else out there needs it. Should also make it easier to link if you do end up posting all the mods you use for our server as part of a collection.

[red drum]

You ended up in my news feed

[neon tusk]

Truly I have reached the peak of all my hopes and dreams.

I did actually get asked to try and do a couple of other patches between Zombie Hunter and a few other mods, so I may look into it. Two of them seemed kind of "meh" in my book, but the last was basically just all the minibosses done by the guy who did the ELITE mod, and I think we use a couple of those don't we? If so I may look into that first.

Honestly, with how basic the code is for 7 days, I could probably also do mods for us in general if there's anything we wanted such as new gear, items, or zombies. Obviously I would just have to reuse existing assets unless someone wanted to do custom models, but it wouldn't be too hard to theoretically add our own variations of stuff in.

[swift ruin]

anyone playing rn? @neon tusk @red drum @shut echo

[shut echo]

Not me

[neon tusk]

I'm not on at the moment. Currently working on something.

[swift ruin]

ok

[shut echo]

Gonna eat dinner

[neon tusk]

I could hop on in a bit if you want Aldi.

[shut echo]

Same

[swift ruin]

nah its fine

dunno what to do together in game as well

[shut echo]

Was playing zzz, got annoyed from dying too much

[swift ruin]

yesterday when i was playing alone
the game spawned 1 veteran, 1 shocker, and 2 devourers all within 100m of each other

that was something

[neon tusk]

You can actually die in that game? I know I didn't play it long, but up to where I got stuff didn't ever seem a threat even on the hard setting.

[shut echo]

That’s why I don’t play alone

[neon tusk]

Sounds easy.

[shut echo]

There’s some super hard stage

[neon tusk]

Fair. I didn't get super far in so I suppose it makes sense it gets harder later on.

[shut echo]

My agent 11 die within 3 hits from a dude who won’t stop attacking

[swift ruin]

got 6 boxes full of items, so im gonna sort it out before anyone is online

[neon tusk]

Definitely do that.

[shut echo]

Constant dogging, and there’s another smaller dude try to distract u with the auto aim

[neon tusk]

Oof.

[shut echo]

Oh, I got a treasure map as well

Need to use that

[neon tusk]

I've found a few at times. I think Aldi usually ends up taking care of them.

[swift ruin]

yep treasure hunter guy right here

[neon tusk]

Alright, I can hop on for a bit. Not sure how long I'll stay on for though.

[neon tusk]

At some point Hexy, link me whatever mod adds the wraith enemy, (the floating crawler), so I can patch it so we can carve it.

[swift ruin]

welp got kicked

[neon tusk]

Odd.

Game is still up for me.

[swift ruin]

rejoining

huh

should i be concerned

[neon tusk]

Not sure what it had issues with.

[swift ruin]

@red drum is there a way to locate stuff from command line?

i lost my drone somewhere

[red drum]

No icon on the compass?

[swift ruin]

nope

[swift ruin]

@red drum is it possible to put this one on?

[red drum]

No, suffer the unknown

[swift ruin]

[red drum]

You can probably install that one locally actually

[swift ruin]

hmmm

k ill try

really want to see how much health the veteran has

[red drum]

I found one that's server side

[swift ruin]

nah prob dont

[red drum]

that is the worst error to see in programming..

[red drum]

https://7daystodiemods.com/zombie-wraith/

[swift ruin]

welp that add on is not client side

@neon tusk im gonna log off first for lunch

[neon tusk]

No worries. I'm taking stock of a couple of things then hopping off.

[red drum]

this weather mod sucks

[neon tusk]

Yea, that seems kind of annoying.

[neon tusk]

By the way Aldi, if I'm reading this code right, the Veteran has 210,000 health.

[swift ruin]

[neon tusk]

And every time it triggers its knockdown effect, we've taken it past a 35k health threshold.

And regenerates what I believe may be 1500 hp per 2.5 seconds, though I could be reading that one wrong.

It's probably also why it'll trigger that knockdown back to back sometimes, if we take it below one of those thresholds, and then it regenerates back above it.

[swift ruin]

question : how do you switch to the radiated ammos? nevermind i guess this weapon cant do radiated ammos

[swift ruin]

i guess the new weapons are not compatible with the ammos from zombie hunter?

[swift ruin]

well

so i tried the summoning book thingy volume 5

it only spawns 2 normal mutated and 2 normal cops

so that was anticlimactic

[neon tusk]

Were you close to the base when you did it? I only tried the lower version and was outside the base and it just didn't work, so I think maybe the landclaim block being nearby screws it up?

[neon tusk]

Also, which weapons? On my own world at one point while I was testing something I learned that lower ranked weapons didn't seem to be able to use it it seemed like.

[swift ruin]

i was at the horde base when i use it

[swift ruin]

i used the machine pistol

but it works on the normal .44 desert vulture

[neon tusk]

Hmm. Also, there's a machine pistol?

[swift ruin]

yea

dunno when panda added that

and i cant find which mod that relates to

[neon tusk]

Yea, not sure about that. Also, I'll see if I can have a look at the code regarding the spawn mechanics on the summoning books.

Could be that something is broken because of our world level.

[swift ruin]

there are also a new rifle, 2 new shotguns, a new ak47, a new bat, and a new knife

[neon tusk]

[swift ruin]

also panda please tell me if you're going to remove the new weapons because i have a 1.5x damage mod on it plskthx
