Hello Survivors! Here is V1.2 b22 EXP for you all. While the team is all hands on deck working on V2.0, we wanted you all to get the fixes, optimizations and console crossplay preparations sooner rather than later. With this build we introduce various optimizations to all platforms, but also unleash the ability to generate RWG maps to our Console fans. Crossplay will be fully enabled once experimental ends, V1.2 goes STABLE and our Console users get access to V1.2. Until then there will be no-one to crossplay with. This will open up crossplay between PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC clients, however no dedicated servers just yet. V1.2 should be compatible with existing save games, but we recommend starting a new game for the very best experience. Here is how you participate: [olist]

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? Our efforts continue to be focused on squashing bugs and working hard to get closer to a v1.1 Stable release, so stay tuned for future updates! To get access to this version: [olist]

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!

Hello Survivors! Today, we are excited to announce the official launch of A21.1 Stable.

POI Localization

Infestation Quests

Random World Generation Update

• 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

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

• 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

• 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.

Wandering Hordes

Twitch Extension

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

• 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.

Hello Survivors! With the Experimental phase of A21 coming soon, we want to patch an issue we found during testing. This patch only addresses a benign save game compatibility error users would encounter when returning to A20 after a session in A21 Exp.

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).

The UDF can be declared in the game launcher as a command line parameter. Add the following to the command line: Format: -UserDataFolder= Example: -UserDataFolder=C:\MyUserData The UDF can also be set in the serverconfig.xml file. Format: Example:

TFP will be deprecating Easy Anti Cheat support for all builds prior to Alpha 20.4 on July 1st. Users can still play older builds but may need to turn off EAC in the launcher. 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 everyone! While the majority of the team is heavy at work on Alpha 21, we are excited to give you A20.4 b42 stable today! Server owners will need to add/modify these 2 new properties in the serverconfig.xml. These filters will help players find your server. Values must be one of the following: NorthAmericaEast, NorthAmericaWest, CentralAmerica, SouthAmerica, Europe, Russia, Asia, MiddleEast, Africa, Oceania Values: Use any language name that your players would expect to search for. Should be the English name of the language, e.g. not "Deutsch" but "German". This is a filter name only and DOES NOT SET the language for players. If no region is entered on the server end, you will not be able to find the server. For everyone who played EXP: There is no change between b41 and b42, we just had to adjust the buildnumber. A20.4 b42 changelog: Added

• Language selection under Video > UI. Defaults to the platform's language (on Steam the language that is selected in Steam for the game, otherwise the host system's language)
• EOS P2P networking for cross platform P2P games
• Destroy area attacks partial blocks it moves into
• AI ApproachAndAttackTarget decreases path update rate at farther distances
• Path generation canceling on a new path request
• Cr console command u, utimed and ue parameters

• Launcher on Windows now stores log files in %APPDATA%/7DaysToDie/logs folder
• Screenshots are stored in /Screenshots (i.e. the folder that also stores saves, e.g. on Windows %APPDATA%/7DaysToDie/Screenshots)
• Mods are now loaded from /Mods (i.e. the folder that also stores saves, e.g. on Windows %APPDATA%/7DaysToDie/Mods) in addition to /Mods. In a future build this will change to only load from that new location so no data is written/changed in the program folder at any time.
• Reduced sleeper volume attack target time
• Changed SkyManager to explicitly set shadowCustomResolution for the moon and sun lights based on the ingame "Shadow Distance" setting: 1k for Low/Medium, 2k for High, and 4k for Ultra/Ultra+. This gives more consistent results in terms of performance and fidelity when changing the setting, regardless of the user's output screen resolution.
• MacOS builds target x86_64 only for now until third party code supports M1 you can still run the game on M1 Macs with Rosetta, but you no longer manually have to enable it
• Reduced achievement goals for: Dying, PvP kills, game stage, and staying alive
• Favorite and history servers are now stored independently of Steam

Modding Tools

• 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

• Frequency of Plains, Hills, and Mountains
• Global amount of Randomness

• Added a command line argument -debugshapes to get output on which block material / shape

• 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

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.
