Hey Survivors! We're back with our latest hotfix, v1.0 b336. This update fixes a major bug causing characters in saves with the 'Enemy Spawning' setting toggled off and back on to become fully encumbered and unresponsive. This was part of a larger problem related to an NRE involving sleeper volumes in specific POIs. This hotfix will also correct save files affected by this issue. For our console users, this update also includes some stability improvements, specifically on the Xbox X/S platform. While summer vacation may be almost over, we're STILL hard at work on optimizations, bug fixes, Roadmap updates, and getting v1.1 Experimental to you. Be sure to follow us on X for more updates! https://x.com/7DaystoDie
Hello Survivors! After another successful round of bug fixing and balancing based on all of your tremendous feedback, we are pleased to announce our latest release for experimental testing, v1.1 b4. This update addresses some problems related to vehicle interaction with player colliders, as well as some audio issues, and a TON of smaller fixes to various POIs. As such, a new game is highly recommended in order to experience these updated POIs in all of their glory. We didn't forget about the modders, bringing a fix for an NRE related to custom sign text in custom POIs, adding a GameShuttingDown mod event, and have updated the rwgmixer to allow custom district names via XML. For our console users, expect to see these changes and more once v1.1 Stable is released. What's next?

Greetings Survivors, As we approach December 13th, we're excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this game. This Thanksgiving not only marks a time of gratitude but also commemorates the 11th anniversary since the game's conception. Currently, our dedicated team is diligently working on the 22nd major release. It's incredible to reflect on our journey as The Fun Pimps, growing from a team of 3 to a robust group of over 60 individuals. Throughout this decade, we've consistently invested 90% of our resources into our passion project, 7 Days to Die, and this commitment remains unwavering. If this isn't a labor of love, we're not sure what is. We invite you to show your support by voting for your favorite deserving survival game. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey! Sincerely, The Fun Pimps
Hello Survivors! Just in time for the extended Thanksgiving Weekend, TFP is proud to present A21.2 Stable! With the entire 7 Days to Die team working tirelessly to roll out A22 as soon as possible, we've implemented numerous fixes and changes that we know you'll love! This latest release adds a much anticipated feature: Death penalty options! You can now choose from Nothing, Classic, Injured (respawn with most debuffs still active), and Perma-death (your entire profile is wiped, and you start fresh in the same savegame). We've also added the ability to lock inventory slots. Click the arrow buttons to indicate how many slots to lock, starting from the top left-most slot in the Player Inventory. Those locked slots will be unaffected by the Sort Inventory, Fill Stacks, and Move all buttons. This is a great way to ensure you have your required Ammo, Food and Water, or Medical Supplies on you at all times to fully augment your playstyle. The drone also got some love, with emphasis on several fixes for lost drones and improve pathing in certain situations. This should result in fewer drones getting stuck. For a more comprehensive list of updates included in this release, please refer to the complete changelog below. From all us us at TFP, we wish you a joyous and Happy Thanksgiving!

New Doors
Introducing an exciting range of new doors, including the much-anticipated double doors! These numerous additions bring a level of detail to in-game locations that were previously unimaginable. Moreover, players can now enjoy updated craftable door options, expanding their repertoire of door types to choose from. As an innovative feature, doors gradually deteriorate as they sustain damage, resulting in visible holes that can be utilized for shooting or melee attacks. Be cautious, though, as certain doors may develop holes large enough to pass through without being completely destroyed. Exercise caution and strategize accordingly!
Loot Container Changes
When emptied, smaller containers such as trash bags, backpacks, and bird nests will now be destroyed. On the other hand, larger containers like clothing racks, desks, filing cabinets, and gun safes will transition to an open state once they have been emptied. This update brings a more realistic and immersive experience, as players can observe the visual representation of empty containers while navigating the game world.
World Water
Weve made visual improvements to prevent water from clipping through semi-solid block shapes, such as thin or rounded wall segments. Under the hood weve overhauled water simulation to improve performance, reduce networking traffic, and provide more consistent and natural flow behavior, particularly with respect to large bodies of water such as lakes and rivers.
Hazards
The game has received an exciting update with the addition of a hazard system. This latest release introduces flame hazards that must be deactivated within specific locations in order to advance on your path. While active, these hazards will unleash intense fire damage upon anyone or anything that dares to approach too closely.
Gore
More zombies now utilize the new gore system.

POI and Biome Difficulty Improvements
When you enter a POI, a HUD pop up will display its name and difficulty tier which is represented by the number of red skulls. These POI names will also appear on the quest text at the trader. When you enter a Biome, you will see the biome difficulty represented by the number of orange skulls.
- Forest 0
- Burnt (Navezgane Only) 0.5
- Desert 1
- Snow 1.5
- Wasteland 2
POI Localization
Points of interest (POIs) have undergone localization, receiving easily understandable and relatable names. These new names are not only incorporated into the quest system, but are also displayed on the upper right corner of the screen, above the Quest and Recipe Tracker. Furthermore, if you backed the Kickstarter campaign and pledged for location naming, you will now have the privilege of having a POI named after you.
Infestation Quests
We have added a new quest type we call Infestation which starts at Tier 2. The system takes a supported POI and adds a +1 to its Tier. In an Infestation Quest, the zombie counts are multiplied to create a greater challenge. At the end, it will reward you with a special loot box, almost always found in the loot room. This left Tier 5 POIs with infestation in a bit of a pickle. Tier 5 POIs as an Infestation Quest, can now be found as Tier 6 difficulty POIs.
Random World Generation Update
Random World Generation (RWG) has gone through the biggest iterative updates to date. We have learned something from every previous version we have done so far. Its not easy to create something nobody has done before, but we are committed to creating Random Generated Worlds better than anyone on the planet and we think you will agree when you play the latest Alpha 21 Random Gen. The latest release focuses on improving RWG speed, visuals, POI placement, and adding new features to enhance the player experience and addressing several bugs. Many notable improvements include:
- RWG creation speed has been greatly improved. Generation speeds up to 4 to 5 times faster than before have been seen in some cases.
- Merging highways between gateway tiles and township rural tiles has been added
- A new scoring system for prefab pick ordering, xml entries to help control overall placement, spawn weights, and min max counts ensure POIs dont repeat too often.
- Country Tiles have been added which give the rural areas more believable surrounds for POIS to spawn
- Road smoothing has been greatly improved.
- A new street tile system that uses an overworld grid to allow for more concise placement of wilderness, towns, and highways.
- A New Game button has been added to the Advanced Generation screen to allow players to immediately play the map they have generated without having to remember the map name.
Chunk Reset System
Weve added a new advanced game option called Chunk Reset Time. Enabling this setting will cause chunks to be reset to their original states when left unvisited for a specified in-game duration. Land claims, bedrolls, and other important player-owned objects such as backpacks and vehicles will prevent nearby chunks from being reset; so you dont have to worry about your home base disappearing, or logging in to find your 44 exchanged for a tree which regrew in its place. However, loot containers and workstations which are not within a protected area can be reset, so players who use this feature must be mindful of where they store their valuables. In effect, this feature allows previously-visited locations to respawn their loot and recover from destruction whilst the player is away. It also helps to reduce save sizes by clearing out stored data for the reset chunks until theyre revisited. The setting is disabled by default, but can be configured at will in the Advanced tab of the New Game and Continue Game menus.
Survival Rebalance
- To enhance the survival experience, water collection has been rebalanced by removing empty jars and cans.
- Boiled water now requires a cooking pot to craft in the campfire.
- Most clean water and drinks have been extremely lowered in loot.
- A new Dew Collector workstation has been added to provide clean drinking water.
- Crafted in the player backpack, players will need to visit a trader to obtain a key component: a water filter.
- Water is slowly accumulated over time at a rate of approximately 3 jars every 24 game hours.
- Players can place multiple Dew Collectors
- DewCollectors must have a clear view of the sky.
- Bars and other see-through shapes are acceptable to be placed above.
- Drink Vending machines have had quantities increased including specialized drinks.
- Due to water used in crafting, glue has been increased in loot, quest rewards, and trader inventories.
Crafting Skills System
Crafting unlocks have been moved out of the Perks System and into a new Crafting Skills System. Players will need to read various quantities of Crafting Skill Magazines in order to progress through the crafting tiers. These magazines are found in loot containers, zombie loot bags, air drops, given as quest rewards, or sold by the traders. The Crafting Skills System solves two issues: 1. Players wont be able to skip the progression of tool and weapon tiers.
- Previously, players could max out a perks crafting quality unlock with primitive tools and weapons and then instantly craft higher tiers once the materials were found or unlocked. A good example of this would be a stone ax that could be crafted at quality 5, but then iron and steel pickaxes could be crafted at that same quality level.
- Players are no longer required to perk into various classes to obtain the unlocks. All crafting skills can be unlocked by all players.
- The unlocks are removed from perks, however, each level of a perk will give a probability boost to certain magazines. An example would be the perk Boomstick giving a boost to finding more of the Shotgun Weekly magazines. Boomstick will also boost shotguns, shotgun parts, and the various types of shotgun ammo found in loot.
Perk Overhaul
With crafting unlocks moving to the new Crafting Skills System, perks have been overhauled to be more streamlined for each class.
- Sexual Tyrannosaurus has been moved to each weapon perk. Players no longer have to perk into Strength to get the stamina benefits of ole Sexy T. Want better stamina with clubs? Put perk points into Pummel Pete and keep from getting winded too soon.
- Flurry of Blows has been moved into each Attribute as a new perk.
- Perception: Quick and Perceptive Increases the attack speed of spears
- Strength: Big and Fast Increases the attack speed of clubs and sledges
- Fortitude: Lightning Hands Increases the attack speed of fists and fist weapons
- Agility: Whirlwind Increases the attack speed of knives
- Intellect: Calculated Attack Increases the attack speed of batons
- Physician perk has gained the ability to treat sprains and give more XP when using healing items. Dismemberment gets a boost with batons on level 4 while level 5 has a chance to instantly kill the target with a stun baton.
- Master Chef allows players to cook faster with each level.
- Lock Picking moved to Intellect
- Grease Monkey grants the ability to use fewer repair kits when repairing vehicles
- Zombies and animals are now killed nearly instantly when hit by a vehicle, but the vehicle takes more damage than previous versions.
- Vehicles also take more damage when hitting objects or taking hard landings.
Perk Book Reworks
- Spear Hunter Vol 3 changed from Steel Spear Unlock to Bleeding Damage
- Spears have a 25% chance to cause bleeding damage.
- Spear Hunter Vol 4 changed from Strong Arm to Kill Move
- Power attacks do 50% more damage to downed targets.
- Spear Hunter Vol 6 changed from Punctured Lung to Penetrating Shaft
- Power attacks now penetrate and damage multiple enemies.
- Spear Hunter Complete
- Primal Kill: Kills with spears refill your stamina.
- Automatic Weapons Vol 7 changed from M60 Unlock to Hip Fire
- Aiming from the hip with greater accuracy can save your ass in close quarters situations.
- Batter Up Vol 2 changed from Gear to Stealing Bases
- Sprinting with a club drawn in combat uses 20% less stamina.
- Batter Up Vol 6 changed from Bat Unlock to Foul Balls
- Power attacks with clubs have a 20% chance to ragdoll enemies.
- The Great Heist Vol 3 changed from Timed Charges Unlock to Gold Rush
- Find 10% more dukes and old cash
- The Great Heist Complete
- Find 20% more lockpicks in loot
- Art of Mining Vol 7 changed from Mining Helmet Unlock to Damage
- Mining tools do 10% more block damage.
Perception and Spear Overhaul
It is mind blowing how powerful Rifles are nowliterally. Pop zombie heads with ease with a boost to head shots when using the pipe, hunting, lever action, and sniper rifles. The spear has gotten a rework. After much consideration, we decided to make it work like other weapons and exchanged the throw for a power attack. This makes the spear a much better sneak attack weapon and players do not have to worry about losing their fully modded spear when thrown. With the new door damage, spears are the best melee weapons for poking through the holes into pesky zombie heads.
Recipe Tracker
Having trouble remembering that recipe? Well, in Alpha 21, players can track recipes while out collecting resources. Items are tracked in a list shown in the upper right hand side of the screen. When the correct quantities are collected, the items will be highlighted in green. When all items are collected, a tool belt message will appear letting you know the item can be crafted.
Crafting Quality Selection
Its likely that youve encountered a common problem: after gathering the necessary materials and components to craft your tool or weapon, youve invested additional points into the relevant skill, only to discover that the newly unlocked quality requires more materials than you currently possess. However, this predicament is no longer a concern, as you now have the ability to choose the desired quality of the crafted item, granting you control over the amount of materials invested.
Loot Balancing
Considerable attention has been devoted to achieving balance in various aspects of the game. This includes fine-tuning the availability of food and water, ensuring quest rewards are appropriately balanced, refining trader inventories to offer a fair selection of items, and the distribution of crafting skill magazines.
Starter Quest
The introductory quest has undergone simplification to provide a step-by-step breakdown of the initial stages of the game. Through user-friendly instructions and onscreen assistance, both novice players and seasoned veterans will be effortlessly guided to swiftly accomplish the initial milestones of their gaming experience.
HUD-less Mode
For those looking for a more immersive gameplay, players can now hide the HUD by pressing F7 one time. This mode will now allow players to remove the HUD, but still be able to interact with doors, loot containers, vehicles, and more. Pressing F7 again will change to picture mode that hides ALL HUD elements. Pressing F7 a third time will go back to default.
Spawn Near Backpack
In this latest update, an exciting new feature has been introduced for respawning after death. With an active bedroll, players now have the choice to respawn in close proximity to the location where their backpack is found. This convenient option enables players to swiftly retrieve their lost loot without the need to place a new bedroll, as the primary purpose of bedrolls was not originally intended for this particular function.
Vehicle Damage
- Vehicle collisions take more damage, but also cause more damage, so repair kits are more relevant to game play.
- Repair kits repair a fixed amount of damage instead of all vehicle damage
- New blood splatter when hitting entities
- Improved ragdoll hits and can cause dismemberment on hit entities
- Additional spark effects when hitting blocks
- Improved block collision damage calculations
Wandering Hordes
To promote engagement and encourage players to confront wandering hordes, we have implemented an increase in the chances of loot bags dropping from these encounters. This adjustment aims to incentivize players to actively engage with wandering hordes instead of allowing them to pass by without engagement. Furthermore, an additional improvement ensures that wandering hordes will no longer occur just before the commencement of your blood moon event, providing a more balanced and predictable gameplay experience.
Twitch Extension
Weve added a new Twitch extension to allow viewers to interact with the streamer without cluttering up the chat. This allowed for the addition of more advanced actions that cost Bits. Weve also added Presets to customize your integration experience. Custom Events have also been added for Twitch events such as Subs, Gifting Subs, Raids, Hype Trains, and Channel Point Redeems.
Performance & Optimizations
- Unity version update
- Window block optimizations
- All Windows have been converted to shapes which are more performant.
- Full windows downgrade to broken.
- Broken and Empty windows upgrade to Full.
- Only Full windows can upgrade material.
- Improved prop LOD transition values by adding LOD categories so similar props cross fade at the same distances. They also cull at more relevant distances which improves performance.
- Trees (adjustments to meshes and settings for better performance)
- AI can handle more zombies by throttling their activity based on distance to player
- AI pathing can handle many more paths per second
- Less memory use
- A variety of other small performance optimizations
Networking Improvements
- Greatly reduced network traffic
- Entities have variable update rate based on distance
Server Administration and Multiplayer
WebDashboard
The old Web control panel for the server has been removed in favor of a new Web Dashboard. This is the first step of bringing over what has previously been known as Allocs Server Fixes, providing Web based APIs for interacting with the server as well as a browser interface to those features. Compared to the old mod this interface currently lacks all of the APIs that provide information on players. This new Web Dashboard is currently provided as a mod shipped with the dedicated server version in order to be able to speed up iteration times independently of the actual game releases when improvements are made or fixes integrated. If you were previously using the control panel to automate server tasks you will need to switch over to the new API system:
- Normally you define API tokens in the serveradmin.xml or via the webtokens command, but you can also define one API token on the command line with the -webapitokenname=x and -webapitokensecret=y arguments which will define a single token with permission level 0
- The API endpoint to issue commands is /api/command. The token name and secret need to be passed as HTTP headers X-SDTD-API-TOKENNAME and X-SDTD-API-SECRET. The request needs to use the POST method and contain a JSON body consisting of {command: command to execute}
- WebDashboardEnabled toggles the whole system on or off
- WebDashboardPort specifies the TCP port to run the interface on
- WebDashboardUrl should contain the full URL that points to the dashboard, e.g. to a reverse proxy forwarding to the internal dashboard, like https://proxydomain:8000/. If the server can be reached with its public IP directly this value can be left empty
- EnableMapRendering decides whether the game renders the map tiles to corresponding images that can be seen on the Web Dashboard or used with other tools to get a full view of the discovered game map.
Mumble Positional Audio
Alpha 21 brings support for Mumbles Positional Audio feature. This means once it is enabled in the game audio settings and in your Mumble client you can play with your friends and hear in which direction they are from your view and get to hear them louder or quieter depending on their distance. Detailed setup instructions can be found on this Wiki page. [hr][/hr] The Release Notes are too long for Steam, please continue reading here.
Hello Survivors! With the Experimental phase of A21 coming soon, we want to patch an issue we found during testing.

Hello Everyone!
We have another stable patch for Alpha 20.
With the overwhelming majority of the team working full steam on A21, we took some time to merge fixes and changes to A20 for your enjoyment.
Due to Microsoft requirements, custom prefabs can no longer be saved directly to the game folder.
They will be saved to the User Defined Folder (UDF).
This default location is:
\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\LocalPrefabs
To avoid having to re-save each POI one at a time in the prefab editor, all POI's currently located in...
\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Prefabs
...should be manually moved to the UDF.
The UDF can be declared in the game launcher as a command line parameter.
Add the following to the command line:

Alpha 20.4 and newer builds will continue to have EAC running through the Epic Online Services. We have chosen to use this service as it will make future game browser and network cross play support possible. Cheers The Fun Pimps

Hello Survivors! This small hotfix addresses a change to the Twitch authentication, allowing users the continue using it after February is over. This build was supposed to go out Wednesday, but Twitch did a test run, which forces us to put it out early. There is no reason any of you should have to start over with this update. Expect A20.4 with general fixes on EXP by end of this week or early next week. We hope you enjoy!

Random World Generation
TFP is very proud and excited to bring a brand new Random World Generation System to Alpha 20. The System has been re-engineered from the ground up with a focus on generation speed, flexibility, quality visuals, believability, replay-ability, POI dispersion, Trader positions, and so much more. We took a more content-driven approach for POIs, City Tiles, and Stamps. Cities and roads are much more believable and detailed. Wilderness paths connect in a believable way to POIs. There are really too many changes to list but here are some of the main features included:
- New Districts which includes downtown, industrial, commercial, residential, rural, country town, wilderness, and country residential
- New RWG Tiles support city and town construction which includes tile variants of: Intersection, straight, corner, caps and T-sections with nearly 50 unique tiles.
- New stamps to improve and create unique terrain for every biome
- New stamps to support rivers and canyons
- New faster RWG creation supports 6k, 8k and 10k maps
- New town types: City, Town, Country Town and Ghost town. Custom townships can also be added.
- New Part Spawn Markers which add unique Prefab possibilities to tiles and POIs
- New Road exit markers that align POI driveways to the end of roads
- POI distribution has been improved to better use the over 550 unique POIs and nearly 50 city tiles that the game has to offer for nearly infinite replay value
- POIs except for wilderness have all been redone to to improve how they work with the new city tile system. Sizes include: Small 25 X 25 meters, Medium 42 X 42 meters, Large 60 x 60 meters, Extra large 100 x 100 sizes
- POI placement has been improved to account for each POIs overall performance cost and as a result, very heavy POIs will not be placed near each other which helps keep the game running better.
- 3 Brand new Pre-generated maps will be offered.
- XML support for modding in your own tiles, parts, unique town types, and more see Server.XML and Modding section below for more detail.
- New Random Gen Preview tool mix options to support tweaking custom maps to your liking changing many things including: Frequency of Towns, Frequency of Wilderness POIs, Frequency of Rivers, Craters, Cracks, and Lakes, Frequency of Plains, Hills, and Mountains, Global amount of Randomness
Locations
The TFP Level team doubled in size by late 2020. That paired with many improvements to the proprietary level tools, shape tools, and world tools have helped the POI team generate an enormous amount of new and updated content for Alpha 20. Here are just a few of the great things coming to Alpha 20:
- Over 175 Brand new explorable POIs

Characters
Our character team has been busy overhauling and re-imagining all of the zombies and NPCs in HD. Nearly 25 new HD characters have been completed for Alpha 20 in fact all non player characters and enemies are now HD. There are also new improved character shaders for zombies, NPCs, radiated zombies and burnt zombies. The New HD zombies include:

Weapons
Alpha 20 introduces a new line of pipe weapons along with an overhaul of several current weapons for a total of 6 new weapons and 13 upgraded HD remakes to further the look and feel of an apocalyptic environment. Pipe weapons are new early-game weapons easily crafted in your backpack, and only require basic ingredients like short iron pipes, wood, glue, and leather. Players will now have access to a Pipe Baton, Pipe Pistol, Pipe Shotgun, Pipe Rifle, and a Pipe Machine gun in earlier gameplay to be in tune with the new loot and level balancing. These weapons all have custom sounds and animations with variable mod slots similar to existing in-game weapons. Pipe weapons are easily repaired with short iron pipes. As part of weapon cleanup, the Blunderbuss was removed and replaced with the new Pipe Shotgun. A new Lever Action Rifle was added to round out and complete the existing rifle tier. The Lever Action Rifles firing speed and range make it a great gun for outdoor survival. This rifle also uses 7.62 mm rounds and has variable mod slots similar to existing in-game weapons. Existing weapon overhauls include new models, textures, and/or sounds for already favorite items like the AK-47, SMG, M60, .44 Magnum, Hunting Rifle, and the Rocket Launcher. These texture and model upgrades add some nice polish and align with the look and feel of other art upgrades throughout the game. In addition to model and texture updates, the Bows, Crossbows, and Compound Bow all received a damage increase. Arrow models received an update to complete the new look and feel of the bows.
Shape and Creative Menu
Building blocks have received a major overhaul. For starters, there are now over 1300 unique shapes to select from for every craftable material. Players can now craft 5 basic material helper blocks which are: Frames (OSB/Weak Wood texture), Wood, Cobblestone, Concrete and Steel. After crafting, equip them to the toolbelt and then use the radial menu (or shortcut keys Shift+R) to open the shape selection screen. This screen shows several shape categories that can then narrow down the search: Basic, Square, Round, Wedge, Poles, Stairs, Catwalks, Trim, Windows, Destruction, Construction, Deco and Letters For you modders out there, the shape menu brings with it an easier way to add new shapes to the game. Simply add the new shape definitions to shapes.xml and let the game fill in the materials for that shape at runtime. The new shapes are then automatically added to the material shape helpers in game. This feature also greatly reduces the amount of crafting recipes needed. The creative menu has also been overhauled with a new category system and look.
Stability Preview
Placing blocks has had several changes. The block preview now animates smoothly through the world and the shading is improved. The preview will also change color to indicate the effect of adding the block. Colors Include:
- Yellow - The block is stable. As the block becomes more yellow it means it is getting less stable
- Red - Placing the block would cause some type of collapse. Adding blocks to reinforce other parts of the structure may allow this block to then be placed without collapse
- Pink Placing would cause this block to fall as it does not have sufficient support
Robotic Drone Companion
The new Robotic Drone is a companion that gives the player extra storage and some enhanced end game features. The drones abilities can be augmented and enhanced by the player's intellect, but players can still acquire and use a Drone without perking into it. The Robotic drone is modded in the players inventory. Dyes are added to the cosmetic slot and mods to the modifier slot(s). Some of the Additional Mods and Enhancements to the Drone include:
- Robotic Drone Armor Plating Mod - Increases the Drones Defenses
- Robotic Drone Cargo Mod -Increases the Drones carrying capacity
- Robotic Drone Medic Mod - Gives the Drone the ability to heal the player
- Robotic Drone Moral Booster Mod - Player Stamina regen is increased by 10% when near the Drone
- Robotic Drone Headlamp Mod - Gives the Drone a headlight
Dynamic Imposters
We have added a brand new Dynamic Imposter System to the game which renders changes to Distant chunk POI meshes caused by players or zombies. Changes such as destroying a building, building your own base or adding to or modifying an existing building can now be appropriately displayed by the Dynamic Imposter System. Updated imposter meshes are automatically shared with new players who join the game. What does this mean for players? With this option turned on you can renovate existing POIs, fortify a whole town or build a castle on a hill top and see the changes from anywhere in the world.
- Depending on PC strength we have several game option settings that can be edited in serverconfig.xml
- DynamicMeshEnabled - Setting to true will enable the system
- DynamicMeshLandClaimOnly - Setting to true will make the system only active in player Land Claimed areas
- DynamicMeshLandClaimBuffer - Dynamic Mesh Land Claim Base chunk radius size
- DynamicMeshMaxItemCache - How many items can be processed concurrently, higher values use more RAM
Environment Art
The Environment Art and Shader Team have been improving much of the rendering tech and creating hundreds of new PBR environment models to enhance the world, POIs and overall game immersion. Improvements include:
- Terrain Shader - Updated for better quality and performance including improved roughness and specular shading modifications
- Foliage Shader - Updated for improved rendering effects like subsurface scattering in addition to physically based rendering and packed textures for performance
- Entity Tint Shader - This shader provides support for tinted color variations on models in addition to improving performance due to packed textures
- New Terrain Textures
- New Block Textures
- Lighting and Sky Improvements
- Meshes - Short plant meshes, like grass and cotton, have been greatly improved to generate more detail and much more variety of shapes with less mirroring. Mesh complexity now uses the grass quality setting which allows for less detail on lower end computers
- Biomes - Plant distribution has been improved and the forest has a new short grass sub biome. Grass placement on slopes has been improved as well
- Trees - Trees now have a root ball to seal holes at the base of the trunk
- Clouds - Improved blending of cloud layers and we now can keep cross blends for much more variety and to better match the weather system
- Lightning - Adjusted values, added a cloud area brightening effect and fixed a bug with the world not being lit
- Wind - The weather system's wind speed now changes the speed of plants blowing in the wind and we added wind gusts
- Along with all of the new POIs of alpha 20, there is plenty of new content to add to the visual immersion of the game.
- Cities are detailed to a whole new level, with props such as newspaper stands, mailboxes, street lights, parking meters, planters, operational manhole covers, traffic signals, new street signs as well as business signs, ATMs, Etc.
- Industrial locations are enhanced by new assets like new conveyor belt systems, construction site material stacks. Tarp fencing, etc.
- All new functioning and destructible doors such as cellar doors and shutters.
- More immersive destruction for the world youve come to love with a variety of new rubble piles.
- A new Mesh tinting system and shader bring you more color variations of new art content to further customize your creations.
- Hundreds of new and updated PBR meshes have been added to the game overall.
Quests
Questing improvements have been made all over the world in 7 Days To Die. Starter quests now have helpful on screen icons to show you where to find the required items. Weve decided to retire the challenge notes to allow focus on new quest types. Buried Supplies have been updated to increase the challenge. Weve also added a new tier 3 version of this quest type. Trader to Trader progression has changed. Each trader now has their own set of tiered quests that must be completed. Players can now navigate between those tiers when selecting a quest from the trader. Weve also added a new quest type, Restore Power. Restore Power quests are activated at night and require the player to re-establish power to the locations. Find the generators inside and activate them. Be careful as the generators may alert nearby zombies.
AI
The AI and spawning of enemies have gotten some great improvements including:
- Biome Spawning - Zombie spawning in biomes is now based on the types of buildings in the area, so industrial, commercial and downtown areas are more populated. These areas also spawn more challenging enemies in the harder biomes
- Ducking - Zombies can now duck down to help them not get stuck on obstacles
- Obstacle Attacks - Zombies now stand more reliably at the point of attack without sliding around
- Head Tracking - Added more variety with when and where they look
- Burst Attack - Added a new AOE burst attack, which is used by the new mutant zombie
Feral Sense Game Option
With standard settings Zombies have limited distances that they can hear and see you. The feral sense option allows you to greatly increase their hearing and seeing, which makes the game more challenging. This also makes the world seem more populated as zombies you may not have noticed will find you. Features include:
- Increases the range that all types of zombies can hear and see the player by over double the normal amounts
- Stealth still works, the zombies will just detect you more easily
- Game options are Off, Day, Night, All (Day and Night)
Vehicles
We have added mods, coloring and additional improvements and bug fixes to Vehicles. Mods improve different aspects of your vehicle like using less fuel. Any of the dyes you get during gameplay can be added to the cosmetic slot to tint the vehicles color. Mods
- Expanded Seating - Allows 2 riders on the minibike or motorcycle and 4 on the 4x4
- Fuel Saver - Your engine uses less gas
- Reserve Fuel Tank - Increases tank capacity
- Off Road Headlights - Brighter lights
- Super Charger - Increases acceleration
- Tracking - Improved camera tracking and fixed some popping issues
- Zoom - Camera can now be zoomed in and out using the mouse wheel or gamepad
Loot
Loot Progression has been separated from Game Stage with its own Loot Stage system. Players will increase their loot stage similar to their game stage, but there are many bonuses that can add to it. The biome the player is in, the POI the player is looting, and even the container they are looking at can have a loot stage bonus. Loot stage will then boost the quality and/or the tier of items found. For example, adventurous players that explore the more difficult biomes and POIs will find iron tools or advanced weapons a little faster than those that stay in the pine forest. When it comes to biome bonuses, the progression is as follows:
- Pine Forest
- Desert
- Snow
- Wasteland
Music
For the Dynamic music system In previous Alphas, our goal was to maximize the uniqueness of content by leveraging the power of combinations. Working around a theme, we could build complex musical compositions by layering loops on and pulling them off. These layers function as individual instruments do in standard compositions. By defining how a given layer would be used in a given configuration, and by sorting a number of interchangeable loops into these layers, we were able to get a very high number of unique combinations across all of our configurations. While this schema allows for a high degree of versatility in the way of content, it is not reactive to gameplay on the content level. That is where our new "vertical dynamism" comes into play. In A20 we have created a theme just for Bloodmoon. There is an ebb and flow to the intensity of combat during Bloodmoon, and we have revamped our threat level system to tap into it. Our new theme accounts for this, and the music now reacts in real-time to the intensity of Combat as if a conductor is watching your every move.
- New Bloodmoon Music with threat-responsive layering system
- Improved layering with added complexity for layered tracks
- Improved randomization
- Over 6.5 million combinations of tracks across all configurations
- New Threat-Responsive Ambient Audio System
Audio
The game audio keeps improving and the audio team has kept up with the needs creating new custom sounds for all the new content including:
- Twitch Sounds
- Custom sounds for all new pipe weapons
- New Door Sounds
- New game vent activation sounds (keys, buttons, etc.)
- Restore power quest sounds
- Custom sounds for new loot chests
Weather
The worlds weather system continues to improve with weather now being more distinctive and varying. Improvements include:
- Randomness - Improved calculations and shorter durations, so less likely to get stuck with the same weather
- Weather groups - Added grouping of values like fog, clouds, and precipitation to allow distinctive types of weather like foggy, raining, snowing or storming. Each biome now uses these groups for their own weather
Video Options
Several quality settings have been changed to better control the games rendering. Auto detection was added, which looks at your GPU to determine what quality preset seems best for your computer. The first time A20 is run it will reset the video options and a preset will be chosen. New Options Include:
- Anti-Aliasing - Temporal (TAA) is an added choice. It is an advanced rendering technique that smooths edges based on motion
- AA Sharpening - With TAA on, you can use the sharpening option to increase how strong edges look in the game
Animation
The Animation Team has been busy improving the overall animation quality of the game. Some of the animation improvements that have gone into Alpha 20 Include:
- Overall improvement of First and Third person Weapon hold, attack, power attack and idle animations
- Overall improvement of First and Third person Tool hold, attack, power attack and idle animations
- Better 3rd person blending of upper and lower body while walking, running, strafing and general movement while carrying weapons
- New Zombie dog animations
- New Jiggle Tech adds dynamic movement based motion for the following Zombies and Parts:
- Bloated Tourist - Stomach and overall body fat
- Cop - Stomach and overall body fat
- Big Mama - Stomach and overall body fat
- Lab Tech - Hair, body wounds, dangling hand
- Soldier - Torso body wounds and torn uniform
- Mutated Zombie - Acid bubbles on skin, including blended animation
- Screamer - Clothing, hair and movement of jaw and tongue
Dismemberment
Alpha 20 includes a preview of a new dismemberment feature to eventually replace the original system first introduced in Alpha 13. The new feature will allow zombies to have better-looking dismemberment effects, as well as unique effects per zombie. The initial release will include support added to a small number of zombies, with subsequent updates expanding support to all zombies.
Twitch
Twitch Integration has been improved in A20 with balance, new commands and a new voting system. Weve extended our point rewards for subscribing, gifting subs and raids. Weve also added spam delay to help keep chat cleaner and support for custom events. Voting introduces a new dynamic to the integration. Random polls are introduced, giving viewers options for new buffs and debuffs, attack hordes, and debuts brand new Boss Hordes! If the Vote Hordes eliminate the streamer, all voters receive a set reward. Custom Events have been added to allow the streamer to customize their experience when viewers interact. These are based on bits, subscriptions, gift subs, raids and channel point redemptions. These are defined in the twitch_events.xml. New features and commands include:
- New Twitch Voting Mode
- Progression mode has been improved with balance
- Many new commands include:
- #celebrate - Its a party and everyones a pinata.
- #dance_off - The Fun Pimps groove, and everyones invited.
- #silly - A silly command sounds silly.
- #reverse - Turns you around 180 degrees.
- #confuse - Flips the movement controls.
- #no_robo - No robotic help.
- #no_explosives - No explosive use.
- #no_vehicle - Vehicle use is painful.
- #no_safe - Safe zones are painful.
- #no_stealth - Bombs go off eliminating stealthy movement.
- #painting - You see the apocalypse as a work of art.
- #deafen - You cannot hear.
- #spawn_mutated - Spawns a Mutated Zombie
- #spawn_tourist - Spawns a Tourist Zombie
- Custom Events based on:
- Bit donation amounts
- Subscriptions based on months
- Number of gift subscriptions
- Raiding with defined numbers of viewers.
- Channel Point redemptions
Modding Tools
The Tools Team has been busy the past year improving proprietary tools to speed up internal development and continue to support the 7 Days thriving modding community. Here are just a few of the many tools and modding support improvements Alpha 20 has to offer. World Editor Improvements
- When placing a new prefab it is centered with its front side on the position you selected and are aligned with the ground level in that position
- While moving prefabs around they show a preview of their contents
- Moving prefabs becomes faster the farther the player is away from them, making it easier to move prefabs across bigger distances
- Placing/removing prefabs is now managed from the prefab browser known from the POI Editor
- Show prefab names on the POI selection boxes (can be toggled in the World Tools tab)
- Show info about the selected POI in the ESC menu
- Prefabs you are close to always show their orientation
- Allow highlighting all blocks of a certain type from the Level Tools 2 tab
- Allow restricting paint brush operations to blocks within the current selection box
- Add option to select the biome used for playtesting
- Debug mode and creative mode are enabled in playtesting by default
- ESC menu shows the quest tier of the current POI
- Allow rebinding the keys to change block density
- Added Paint Surface radial painting option to paint contiguous coplanar surfaces
- XML support for modding in your own tiles, parts, unique town types, and more
- New Random Gen Preview tool mix options to support tweaking custom maps to your liking changing many things including:
- Frequency of Towns
- Frequency of Wilderness POIs
- Frequency of Rivers, Craters, Cracks, and Lakes
- Frequency of Plains, Hills, and Mountains
- Global amount of Randomness
- Added a command line argument -debugshapes to get output on which block material / shape
- combinations are created by the shape system
- Added console command placeblockshapes to easily place all variants of the shape / helper block you are holding
- Added property PlaceAsRandomRotation making blocks get placed in a random allowed rotation
- Added console command placeblockrotations to place the currently held block in all supported rotations
- Added property AllowedRotations to specify which rotations a block can be placed in
- Clients now allow loading mod DLLs the same way as on the dedicated server - as long as EAC is disabled
- HarmonyX is shipped with the game to allow patching game code at runtime. In combination with loading DLLs on clients patching game code files should no longer be necessary for almost all mods
- The mod code initialization call IModApi.InitMod is now passed in its own instance e.g. to get the mods base path
- Class names specified in XMLs now always support namespaces and not having to use any hard coded class name prefix (e.g. custom block classes do not have to start with Block in their name)
- LootContainer references are now based on names instead of numeral IDs, making collisions between mods less likely
- XUi controls and styles can be shared between the menu XUi and the in-game XUi XMLs
- The XUi pager now supports showing the max page number
- Added a new XUi dropdown box
- XML patch type names (like insertafter, set) are no longer case-sensitive
- XML loading and patching shows line numbers on most errors during loading/patching them
- Added better error messages when using set-patches
Server Administration and Multiplayer
To future-proof our game, including allowing us to use the latest anti-cheat and expanding to other platforms later on for future crossplay capabilities, we added Epic Online Services (EOS) to the game. For regular players this should not have any noticeable effect, you do NOT need an account on Epics platforms. EOS only knows your SteamID which is public anyway and matches that to an ID for EOS that is only valid for 7 Days to Die. The change for server administration is in the user IDs that are used to store data and reference players, i.e. the filenames of user files, IDs in the serveradmin.xml or console output / commands which now refer to the users EOS ID. Serverconfig.xml changes
- Changed default "WorldGenSize" from 4096 to 6144 to match in-game default
- Added "ZombieFeralSense"
- Changed default LootRespawnDays from 30 to 7 to match in-game default
- Added DynamicMesh options - see section about Dynamic Imposters for details
- Added Twitch options - see section about Twitch Integration Improvements for details
- Fixed the Server Terminal Window sometimes not showing any output

Weve just released Alpha 17.3 Stable! Release Notes:
We've just released Alpha 17.3 Experimental B18 For A17.3 we have set focus on bug fixes and RWG. We have fixed the issue which caused chunks to be reset to their original state, often affecting players' bases. For RWG we worked over to remove the POI replication spawns (radio tower cities), reworked the roads so be more vehicle-friendly, overworked the world layout and adjusted the placement of POIs and cities. This framework we are backporting to 17.3 is part of a larger Alpha 18 plan to make it awesome. Alpha 17.3 Experimental B18

Hey Folks, We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. The Fun Pimps are taking a long-needed development break through New Years. But not to worry we will be back to work after New Years and onto patching Alpha 17. Alpha 17 is not perfect by any means but a big step forward towards the vision we have had for the game for a long time. We have heard some valid concerns of the community and will be making needed adjustments to the game in the coming weeks along with bug fixes, optimizations and balance. We are gathering data on a case by case basis, balancing and addressing the true problem areas most of which so far center around optimizations, stamina, balancing XP for all play styles, land claims, increasing zombie loot drop chance, zombie block damage, skill/perk balance and gating and random world gen improvements.

Hey Survivalists, The Fun Pimps would like to wish you all a Happy Easter and to celebrate we’ve served up a rather massive Alpha 14 update. We know it’s late but in our humble opinion it’s pretty great. For those of you who felt 13 was a grind or that we peaked at 12 we have addressed a lot of issues with balance and grind and fixed hundreds of bugs. We thought Alpha 13 was big with over 35 pages of release notes but alpha 14 has over 54 pages of bug fixes and release notes that have gone into this build so expect some great new stuff, a mega shit ton of bug fixes, as well as some nice optimizations. As always with an update of this size we recommend starting a new game. So without further ado here is the skinny on Alpha 14.
