Hey Survivalist, We’ve just released Alpha 17.1 Experimental B8 and could really use your help finding the last remaining big issues. To improve stamina players now start with 150 food which is now shown in the hud and menu to communicate you can overeat and not waste food. When players stamina is between 100 and 150, there are no detrimental stamina effects. Strength requirements for the Sexual Tyrannosaurus perk have been lowered and we have made the description clear that it does reduce mining stamina costs as well as melee costs. We moved it from the combat perk section to a new section called general strength perks. We’ve reduced the stamina cost of all tools. We’ve also reduced stone tool stamina penalties. Water now goes to 150%, and until the water debuff comes on screen at 75% water, you will experience no stamina regeneration penalties. For builders, we have bolstered XP for harvesting and mining substantially allowing for support roles to keep up with combat and scavenger roles. A17.1 b1-b8 Added Entityclasses AIPathCostScale (min/max) and set a variety of values for different AI entities Sleeper 20% bonus to AIPathCostScale Vehicle manager saves when vehicles are added or removed Added Cigars to trader wares Added old cash to laundry and nightstands AI will do destroy area 60% on a fall after unreachable side path Traders now sell glue Changed Optimized catwalk rail metal corner, catwalk rail single, catwalk wedge rail, chair, coffee table Separated pathing distance cost from break/jump cost and added per path scaling to allow path variations Increased trader rewards AI JumpMaxDistance to a random range, set zombie ranges and made heavier zombies jump shorter Updated several buff descriptions and journal entries to reflect changes Added a beaker to medical quest loot Return of the ghosted block preview from A16 Added acid to lab equipment loot Water and food to show the value of current water and food plus the consumed water and food amounts to be applied Adjusted max water amounts in progression to reflect the food amounts Updated chrysanthemum seed icon. Show the water/food as actual value instead of percent. Increased dog and wolf health Death penalty cannot stack on repeated deaths Increased block upgrade speed of nail gun and claw hammer A wood pole can be crafted without the table saw Updated vehicleWheels icon. Increased amount of old cash found in containers and zombie loot. ModMeleeStructuralBrace can be installed on bows and has fewer stacking issues Increased size of snake colliders Increased harvesting / upgrade XP Increased AI range to attempt a gap jump General Strength Perks have their own category. Perks concerning harvesting, looting or carrying things require lower attribute scores to unlock Increased the amount of food you can overeat to 50. Increased stack count of buff magazines Increased stack number of cash Allowed 45° rotations on wood/iron bars Added support for lumberjacks. Wood now sells for a reasonable amount at traders Player sellback rate improved so selling items to traders is more profitable Increased drop % of armor mods in loot Vehicles can be assembled from parts without a perk Glue requires only 1 bone now instead of 2. Reduced price of glue it was more expensive than duct tape Terrain in prefabs is now integrated into the height map and saved into a temporary file dtm_processed.raw on server side Optimized the way imposter prefab are calculated (less network traffic) Fixed Stat Current life does not reset upon death.

Bedroll compass/map icon was still showing when destroyed by another player when out of chunk. Crafting timer doesn’t advance properly when the chunk is unloaded Fuel burn timer showing huge negative value in MP Silencer does not actually silence all weapons Tuned water message closer to actual in game effect Increased quality of items for quest rewards Vehicle out of world check using different positions for chunk and terrain tests, so vehicles could get killed and removed Kill Zombies prefer to not path glass blocks Player backpack can be pushed under the world Dupe anything in a container.

When blocks are placed where sleepers would spawn, they can turn yellow Replaced cntmrandomloothelper in house_old_mansard with random store crate Allow harvested decor plants to be scrapped Weapon bags do not fall when POI’s fall Clothing change can cause major lag spike/fps drop Updated mining journal entry Tree duping issue when hit by vehicles in LCB Holding F is not mentioned on relevant item descriptions Open\Close toggle issues with some hatches.

Hey Folks, We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. The Fun Pimps are taking a long-needed development break through New Year’s. 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.

Many are speculating as to the future of 7 Days to Die on consoles and The Fun Pimps wanted to give the community an update. The news of Telltale’s demise and insolvency was both a saddening and shocking event. With no warning, we learned the news the same day as the gaming public. Upon hearing the news, The Fun Pimps immediately terminated its license agreement with Telltale, which only allowed publishing rights on the console ports of the 7 Days to Die game. The termination also severed Telltale’s rights to any future updates or sequels of the 7 Days to Die franchise. In the weeks following, we’ve been working in good faith with the remaining management at Telltale to regain control over the console versions and allow us to provide support and updates on those platforms. So far, these efforts have failed. Like you, we are incredibly frustrated by what has happened. We are pursuing all options to regain our rights, including legal remedies. Despite the damage that Telltale’s actions have inflicted upon our company and upon our console community, we wanted to let you know that The Fun Pimps are supremely committed to our fans and will continue to support 7 Days to Die game on the PC, as well as continuing efforts to aid console players in the future. The Fun Pimps will keep you updated as more information becomes available. View more from 7daystodie.com

As more information becomes available TFP will be issuing statements. On a more upbeat note Alpha 17 is coming along folks and it’s going to be awesome! Cheers Richard View more from 7daystodie.com

Hey Survivalists, Folks Alpha 17 is still in the works, but we are looking ahead at the pending experimental release. That said we are recruiting streamers for early Alpha 17 streaming. We kept early streaming on previous releases to only 4 streamers who have done an amazing job so far. But for Alpha 17 we want to do something bigger. We know that there are many streamers out there who have played our game for their audiences and who would love to be a part of the pre-release streaming weekend. We also understand that 7 Days to Die is enjoyed by a larger international community representing several languages and picking only a handful of streamers won’t allow those fans to watch gameplay footage in their native language. To that end we are excited to announce that for Alpha 17 TFP is allowing open enrollment for early streaming. Here are the details: In order to qualify you must have as a minimum 5000 followers on Twitch and/or 5000 subscribers on YouTube. You must record an announcement to your viewers on your channel that you will be showing early footage of A17. It can be its own video or part of one of your regular episodes. You must send an email using your channel’s email address to press@7daystodie.com and put “A17 Early Streaming” in the subject title. In your email you must write a short explanation of why you want to stream A17 early to your viewers and include a link to the announcement video you made. Once we have verified that you are a content creator that qualifies we will add your email to a group list that will be sent the activation code for Alpha 17 on the day that the event will begin. For Additional information and the Streaming FAQ please see the Calling All Streamers forum post! View more from 7daystodie.com
