Many are speculating as to the future of 7 Days to Die on consoles and The Fun Pimps wanted to be as transparent as possible so here is the reality of the situation… After a long and tedious legal process in a closed auction, The Fun Pimps have re-acquired full console publishing rights on the current and all future versions of 7 Days to Die on PS4 and the Xbox One. We know there still is a steady and healthy 7 Days console community, as we hear from them on our social media channels all the time and the game still has nearly 10,000 concurrent users playing the game on weekends. As far as updates, the console has not gotten a meaningful update since July of 2017, which was content and features from the Alpha 15 PC version. The Fun Pimps are a PC game developer and publisher…and we do not have the resources or expertise to do ports/updates to the console, so we licensed the console publishing rights to Telltale Games who hired Iron Galaxy who have done the ports with minimal TFP assistance. We all had a great thing going…a full Alpha 16 port was in the works, that is, until Telltale’s insolvency broke the cadence of builds, hurt our sales, reputation and created this unfortunate situation. Instead of investing in a new update, TFP spent a very large sum of money regaining the rights back in an auction, in addition to ongoing legal and auditing fees… Now that we are the console publisher, as an operational business and out of obligation to our investors and our hard working team (who need to provide for their families too) we have to evaluate the expense and risk of porting any future versions of the game to consoles relative to the income it could generate. Full console ports cost into the millions of dollars, not to mention the restrictions the platform holders have on not breaking saved games which would be inevitable given our current framework and the technical challenges associated with porting a resource intensive game like 7 Days to consoles. With Sony and Microsoft, no matter how small, any update has to go through a rigorous testing/submission process. As you can see, this is not an easy problem to solve. We are exploring all options that would eventually deliver a new version of 7 Days to consoles but this would likely happen after the PC version has gone gold and could end up being an entirely new product or on the next console. Please understand: Telltale going under has put the console version of 7 Days in this situation. TFP are just trying to lookout for the future of our company and the game we care about… The Fun Pimps will keep you updated as more information becomes available or if things change. We thank you for all of the continued support. Click Here To Visit 7daystodie.com

Hey Survivors, Alpha 18 Stable b155 is finally here, and Team TFP is extremely excited for this release. It’s bigger than Alpha 17 and is packed full of new content, bug fixes, optimizations, and game balancing. To make Alpha 18 a great build we combed through hundreds of community reviews and forum posts to compile a large list of the most common Alpha 17 feedback. You spoke, we listened, and committed a ton of effort and resources to address what the Team and Community felt needed improving. We think folks will notice this effort and believe Alpha 18 to be by far the most impressive version of the game to date. And if you haven’t played it for a while we suspect you’ll come back. Official A18 Bug Reporting Forum Thread Official A18 Balance Feedback Forum Thread Alpha 18 Official Release Notes XP Earning & Balance We had a lot of feedback from Alpha 17 on how XP was was mostly earned by Zombie Kills, making play styles other than ‘Killers’ invalid as you could only level up by killing zombies. In Alpha 18 we streamlined and balanced the ways players earn XP to support multiple play styles and supporting rolls. These include XP for Killing Zombies, Completing Quests, Harvesting Resources, Mining, Upgrading Blocks, and more. There are many ways to play the game, but we believe players primarily play as one or more play-style archetypes that we have identified as The Killer/Looter, The Quest/Builder, The Builder/Gatherer, and/or The Miner. The testing team painstakingly played build after build purposely playing as these archetypes and collecting XP earning data, recording and analyzing the results, and working with the game designers to re-balance. We believe the game now supports all the current play-styles. We plan to collect telemetry data in the future to help us further improve this aspect of the game. Stamina Balance TFP also heard a lot of A17 feedback about how starting player stamina was too low, and player stamina drain made actions like harvesting, mining, and running a grind and a chore. We’ve reduced stone axe stamina costs, so a new player can get started harvesting resources and not be interrupted with low stamina alerts. Many other primary attack stamina costs have been reduced. Power attacks still have a hefty cost, but also a reward. Armor perks and mods now reduce stamina and movement penalties as well. There are perk books in loot that reward stamina for kills. We changed encumbrance so players start with a larger backpack in new games so the penalty is less when your inventory fills up. We also added deep pocket mods to allow you to carry more without being encumbered, which doesn’t require you to perk into pack mule. Optimizations We had a lot of feedback from Alpha 17 on how performance was lower than Alpha 16. We have made many changes to improve performance including: Occlusion System – We engineered a proprietary new occlusion system that stops the rendering of chunks, block entities or trees that are onscreen, but not visible to the player. This will often greatly increase your FPS, especially in indoor areas. The new system does add some minor popping artifacts, where occluded objects may take a moment to appear. Occlusion can be disabled in the video options if desired. Incremental Garbage Collection – We updated to Unity 2019.1, taking advantage of their new incremental garbage collection mode, which means the old hitching we all noticed has been greatly if not fully reduced for most users. Collision Mesh Optimizations – We went through a lot of the models that had complex collision meshes and simplified them which reduces physics calculations and improves performance. POI detail reduction – We engineered a proprietary tool in the level editor that shows vertices and triangle counts. With this we we’re able to optimize POIs in the game reducing unneeded and sometimes abusive details by as much as 40% in some locations. Entity Ticking – Players, animals and zombies now update over multiple frames, which reduces the CPU load during any single frame, which reduces frame rate spikes. AI – Has a new character controller that uses a bit less CPU. With our changes the game runs a lot better for most users. However we do recommend learning how to use the game’s video options to lower detail, resolution, reflections and other options to get the best performance for your hardware. Keep in mind 7 Days is a fully dynamic game where you can add to, change or destroy everything in a huge open world, so it cannot be compared to games using smaller static level worlds with pre-baked lighting and visibility. This means that just because your hardware can run the latest Call of Duty at 4k, doesn’t mean you can run 7 Days at 4k with the same hardware. Zombie Balance We heard many comments about zombie amounts in POIs and biomes in Alpha 17, and we also heard about the lack of smaller POIs that were simple to explore with few or no zombies. To resolve this we grouped POIs into questing Tiers and set their spawns to reasonable max counts/numbers for those Tiers and balanced enemy counts in every POI quest-able or not. We also lowered biome spawning some so players could have a little more breathing room when just exploring the world. On top of this, we created nearly 30 new, smaller POIs we call remnants much like the abandoned house in a variety of themes. These remnants are smaller, less populated and have a chance for 0-2 zombies giving players many less threatening explore-able spaces especially when they are starting a new game or when limited on how much daylight is left. In future builds we plan to add more of these for every zone type. Attribute Balance We heard many comments in A17 about how we forced players to choose Strength and Intellect attributes as they had many must have perks under them. Making the playing of different player skill builds nearly impossible. To resolve this we made a number of changes. First and foremost each attribute has been balanced and given melee and ranged weapons they govern so every build has a new unique feeling to it with specialized weapons they use. Secondly we removed level requirements , so a player can specialize very early game now and unlock any perk in the game once they meet the attribute requirements. We have slowed leveling because a level 40 character is now very powerful if you specialize mostly under one attribute. This doesn’t mean you can’t grab a few perks from every attribute and we encourage people to experiment and make the right build that matches their play style and is the most fun. We have also lowered a lot of requirements for some perks, so you can get three ranks of quite a few perks with a fairly low attribute, making players adequate at say mining with just three ranks. The top rank attributes cost less, too, meaning less points needed to reach rank 10. We’ve also added schematics that unlock nearly every craftable item in the game, so players no longer need intellect to craft most items. You gain 1 HP/Stamina per player level instead of increasing this value with attributes. Gameplay Changes Item changes – All item crafting is now governed by the perk tree its affected by. So rather than intellect controlling the quality of a shotgun you crafted, its governed by the Boomstick perk. Players can craft up to blue quality. Faulty and poor quality items have one mod slot, fair and good quality items have two mod slots, great quality items have three mod slots, and fine quality items have four mod slots. Items scrap to parts like shotgun parts, light armor parts, etc and are crafted from them. Higher quality items require more parts and materials to craft. For example a crude shotgun only requires 3 shotgun parts but a great shotgun requires 15 parts. Primitive items like stone and wood items do not require special parts and are crafted from common ingredients. Items’ quality now influences damage and armor ratings. All weapons and armor have random stats and a brown club can be better than an orange club, so check the stats. Mods still increase damage when installed but not as much since item quality influences damage. Schematics – We’ve added classic item schematics back to the game that permanently teach the player how to craft specific items and sometimes an entire group of items. There are hundreds of schematics to find so if you don’t want to spend perks on intellect you can find schematics to unlock nearly everything in the game. There are even recipe cards for nearly every food item in the game as well. We have removed the perk books and ingredient based schematics from the game. Armor Changes – Armor rating does not change based on perks. Armors offer great protection early game, even cloth and scrap armor is worth using. Cloth armor does not slow the player or cost any stamina to wear. Armor significantly reduces chance for bleeding and stun. Heavy armor is the best but has the heaviest penalties. Perks and mods can remove nearly all penalties from light armor and most from heavy armor. Encumbrance – We’ve removed a whole row of encumbrance so early game is more forgiving. There are also pocket mods you craft for clothing to reduce encumbrance very early game. It is possible to have zero encumbrance with no pack mule perks now, you just have to get the right gear. Death Loop Improvements Many players complained about getting into death loops or cheap deaths in the game at times when they were not taking risks. Here are some of the things we have done to improve this. The death debuff has been changed from lowering attributes health and stamina to losing XP resulting in less cheap back to back deaths. After a player dies during a blood moon, zombies will no longer know where you are and normal stealth rules apply. If you re-engage an enemy, blood moon behaviors recommence. We lowered the default difficulty from Nomad to Adventurer since A18 is a little harder with the new zombie rage speed boosting behavior. We changed AI noise detection to play sense sounds and lowered hostile animals’ noise and sight detection ranges. Some animals now have a chance to flee when damaged in combat. Bleeding does less damage per second and armor reduces the chance to bleed dramatically. Melee hit Detection and Glancing Blows Some folks gave us feedback about how you would swing and miss zombies too often. Melee was too binary, hit or miss. To remedy this, as well as make melee feel more impactful, we added a swing arc to detect hits along the path of the weapon. If you miss with the crosshairs, you will still hit enemies along the arc of the weapon swing, just for less damage. This allows melee users to do splash damage to crowds while primarily attacking one target. We will be improving on this new system as time goes on. Melee Impact Audio Polish To improve upon the existing melee sounds, we have gone through our melee weapons and added new crunchier impacts. We also added sounds for glancing blows and player power attacks sounds which makes melee feel much more immersive. Animation Polish We expanded our animation team and they have been kick-ass on polishing and making all first person animations more fluid, snappy and satisfying. With this also came new item hide/show code which allows thrown or placed items to be hidden and shown on the right frames to make things like grenades, c4 and rocks look great. Dynamic Music System TFP has teamed up with Native Darkness Productions to bring a fully dynamic music system to Alpha 18. The system procedurally generates a complete musical arrangement from a set of interchangeable loops. As of now there, are over 750 unique combinations. Our hope is that this feature will make Alpha 18 that much more immersive. We have set a default cap on the music, which will allow it to play for 30% of a given day, but you are in control of how much music you can hear through the ‘Daily Time Allotted’ property in the audio options menu. (Note that setting this property to 100% will not give you constant music, as that percentage is a daily cap and not a guarantee.) At the moment, our system is designed to provide music while the player is exploring the world. We do however intend to broaden the system in the next Alpha with not only more content but to include suspense, combat, and trader music. That being said, for the time being, we hope you enjoy this new addition to the 7 Days soundscape. New Infection, Dysentery, and Stun Changes New infection system – Infection is easier to contract when you have low health than high health. 1% is barely infected, at 100% infection you die. Stage 1 lasts one (real time) hour and up to 14% and has no side effects. Stage 2 lasts 3 hours (up to 57%) and has -25% stamina recovery. Stage 3 lasts 3 hours and is -35% stamina recovery and -1 to all attributes. Getting hit by zombies can increase infection level. Take antibiotics to slowly cure infection, such as honey, herbal antibiotics or pharmacy grade antibiotics. Antibiotics lessen stamina recovery penalty by half while curing. Make sure to have a larger cure amount than your infection amount or you will get sick again when the cure buff runs out. Dysentery and food poisoning – Dysentery and food poisoning are non-lethal but easier to contract. All foods except canned now have a chance to contract food poisoning. Food poisoning causes you to throw up and you lose most of the food you have consumed. Recover by eating. Dysentery causes diarrhea which will drain your water causing dehydration. Drink goldenrod tea to recover faster from dysentery. Boiled water still has a chance to contract dysentery so drink teas, coffee or the new mineral water to be exempt from dysentery. The perk slow metabolism has been renamed to Iron Gut which reduces chance for dysentery and food poisoning with each rank. Stun System – Armor greatly reduces chances for being stunned. HD Icons We overhauled the icon Atlas to support power of 2 images and created new HD icons for all blocks and items. They are now much sharper and higher resolution. New Books and Schematics We have added 16 book sets to the game the game with 112 total unique books. Reading these books unlocks unique perks and skills and completing a set unlocks a book series perk. Book sets are: The Fireman’s Almanac – gain perks based around fire fighting, heat resistance, harvest more coal from burnt embers and more. The Great Heist – Gain perks that help you become a master thief. Gain new stealth abilities, craft timed charges to open safes quickly and more, damage land claimed areas 20% faster and more. Lucky Looter – Each volume helps you find more specific items in loot. Needle & Thread – Become a tailor and learn to craft clothing, coats, hats and even pocket mods for your clothing to reduce encumbrance without strength perks. The Night Stalker – Become the ultimate assassin and gain stealth and combat bonuses at night. Magnum Enforcer – Maximize the capabilities of the .44 Magnum. Batter Up! – Learn to craft baseball bats and hit zombie heads out of the park! Wasteland Treasures – Learn to to harvest new materials from various objects to become the ultimate junk collector of the apocalypse. The Hunters Journal – Do more damage against different types of animals with each volume. The Art of Mining – Enhance your life as a miner with new craftable equipment and mining tricks to one-shot ore! Rangers Guide to Archery – Become the ultimate archer with this set of books. You can even craft exploding arrows. Pistol Pete – Master the use of 9mm weapons with this set of books. Shotgun Messiah – Become the action hero you always dreamed of with this complimentary set of books Sniper – If exploding heads is your thing, look no further. Craft special ammunition, ghillie suits and more! The automatic weapons handbook – Learn every trick in the book about machine guns. Urban Combat – Become the ultimate commando with Urban combat and look like a sexual tyrannosaurus. New Weapons This is by far the biggest weapon update we’re ever had which includes 20 new weapons to play with. Spears – Spears have great range and can be thrown. From stone, iron and steel, there is a spear for you. Steel spears are loot or schematic craft only. They can be modified and are governed by the new perception perk “Javelin Master”. Primary attack jabs and secondary attack performs a power attack that charges up the spear and releasing throws it. Press E to reclaim your spear. Junk Turret – Junk turrets are governed by the new intellect perk “Turrets Syndrome”. They are a hand held weapon that is fired with primary attack and reloaded like a normal weapon. Secondary attack deploys it in the world and it will target zombies and animals as long as the player is close enough to it. Turrets deactivate when the player is too far away and will stop making noise and the barrel will aim at the floor when they run out of ammo or are out of range. Stun Baton – A new melee weapon governed by the new intellect perk “The Electrocutioner” gives intellect players a shock baton that charges with each attack. Each rank of Electrocutioner reduces the number of swings needed to achieve a charge. Baseball Bat – The baseball bat is a top tier club that is loot or schematic craft only. Clubs and bats are governed by Pummel Pete under Strength. New Sledgehammers – Want to be a sledgehammer guy early game? Craft a stone sledgehammer right away from basic ingredients like stone, wood and plant fibers. Later game you can find steel sledgehammers or craft them with a schematic. Sledgehammers are governed by Skull Crusher under Strength. M60 – The M60 is a top tier machine gun class weapon that is loot or schematic craft only. It is governed by the Machine Gunner perk under Fortitude as well as the Ak47. Knuckle Wraps, Brass Knuckles, Spiked Knuckles – Ever wanted to just punch a zombies head off but the old vanilla fists were just too weak? Well now you can perk into “The Brawler” under Fortitude and use leather knuckle wraps, Brass Knuckles and Spiked knuckles to punch their face into a pulp. “But won’t I get infected being so close to zombies?” you might ask? Fear not because they come with a special built in perk that removes a zombies ability to infect you by punching out their teeth (punch to head instantly neutralizes zombies infection ability). Double Barrel Shotgun – Fires two shots, but you can double tap and basically shoot both at once. Shotguns are governed by the perk Boomstick which is under Strength. New Explosives- Grenades and timed charges have been introduced to alpha 18. There are normal grenades that bounce and contact grenades which explode on contact. Timed Charges deal massive damage to safes and doors and are great for raids. They are governed by Demolitions expert under Perception. New bows – The normal bow people are used to has been turned into a primitive bow so it will probably feel worse to experienced players. We’ve added a new wooden bow which behaves similar to the old bow, and the compound bow is still the top tier bow. We’ve added a new compound crossbow which is a top tier crossbow that is loot or schematic craft only. Both bows and crossbows alike, can use flaming and exploding ammunition. Bows are governed by Agility now. New ammunition – All firearms can use regular ammo, HP ammo which does more damage, and AP ammo which pierces through enemies and low hit point structures like wood and glass. Shotguns have breaching ammo for wrecking safes and doors, bows have exploding arrows. Advanced ammunition requires a schematic to craft. Steel ammunition has been removed from the game, but there are many new ways to acquire brass including smelting dukes. Thrown Items In multiplayer games, thrown items were moved by the server, which means if your computer was not the server you would see a delay when you threw an item and see lag in its position updates and collisions with the world. In A18 we added a Physics Master system that lets the player’s computer that threw the item spawn and run the item’s physics, so you get the same lag free throwing as a single player game and they will accurately hit other players. Many thrown items have been resized and had their colliders adjusted, so they are easier to use. Molotovs have a smaller radius and a more forgiving distance check to players, so it is harder to set yourself on fire. Rocks and snowballs can be thrown much further now which is useful to lure zombies away from your backpack or a POI you want to sneak into. New Terrain Blending, New Unity Distant Terrain & PBR Terrain Textures We have integrated a new terrain shader that blends the terrain textures in a much more natural way. With it we can do interesting things like base the texture weight on slope angles (e.g. grass grows on relatively flat terrain only and steeper surfaces have eroded stone etc). Along with this we have converted our old distant terrain to use Unity’s distant terrain giving us much more fidelity in the distance as you can now see details like erosion and higher resolution mountains and plateaus. If that wasn’t enough we have overhauled all the terrain textures not only in a higher resolution but also to support the new PBR art pipeline. New Random World Gen Random World Generation has been overhauled to use a new custom in-house solution. This new system uses a combination of artist driven graph networks, and improved programmatic algorithms to distribute custom artist created height map stamps for the terrain geometry and unique biomes, along with smart systems that control placement of roads, bridges, towns, and designer built POIs. With each new seed generation, a new and exciting world is created for the player to explore. The game now includes 3 8k generated worlds. POI Locations We’ve re-imagined dozens of older locations with a complete art and game-play overhaul converting them to beautiful and quest-able dungeon experiences. We optimized and re balanced all existing quest-able locations and re-balanced all locations in the game. We have also created many brand-new locations. These locations are all setup to support a variety of quests of 5 Tier difficulties. All locations are working in Navezgane and Random Gen worlds. Over 101 new locations and counting. Some of the new or re-imagined locations include: Modern houses Burnt businesses Burnt houses Burnt remnant/abandoned Old west businesses and business strips Old west remnants/abandoned More house remnants/abandoned New lodge Updated auto parts store Trailer park Trailers Army camps Army barracks Fire Station Funeral home Diners Fast food Garages Water towers Reflections Reflections are shown using reflection probes. We added a new reflection manager that tracks multiple probes and blends between them to reduce hard transitions. Probes now update based on player movement or changes to the world, instead of all the time, which can give an increase in FPS. AI, Animals and Zombies We have made a variety of improvements to the game’s AI including: A coyote and mountain lion were added. The mountain lion uses the new animal leap ability. The demolition zombie was added. Beware his explosive charge! Zombies have a new rage mode. There is a chance when damaging zombies, based on the game difficulty, that they will move faster for a short amount of time. This add more variety to combat. Sense sounds have returned to the game. They are played when hostile AI investigates a noise. Hostile AI no longer investigates player noise at the exact position of the player, but rather picks a spot somewhere on the player’s breadcrumb trail based on how well the AI can hear. Some types of hostile animals may flee when injured. Zombies will now fight bears or wolves that attack them. Zombies can ragdoll when they fall. Sleeper volume triggering was improved. Vehicles Vehicles have had several improvements done to them: Steering, tire rotation, bicycle pedaling and the gyro rotor can now been seen moving when looking at other player’s vehicles. Vehicles fall more accurately and riders can take falling damage. Damage when colliding with the world is more accurately calculated and less land claim damage is done. Using the hop action on two wheeled vehicles lifts the front tire more, so it is easier to drive over obstacles. Vehicle UI, locking and passcode interaction was improved. Mining Overhaul Mining has been overhauled and made much easier to find the ore you need. Now there are brand new 3d surface boulders of each ore type identifying where matching ore can be found below. What you see is what you get. See Lead, mine it and below the boulder will be a new lead textured underground ore that matches the surface boulder. Each boulder has a unique look so they are easy to identify at a distance what type of ore it is. These boulders are uncommon so there are still many deposits close to the surface that can only be found by digging. Server administration (config changes, console commands, etc) Due to a change in Unity the -logfile argument now seems to require an absolute path passed in, otherwise no log is generated at all Added serverconfig option “ServerMaxAllowedViewDistance”, allowing to limit the view distance clients can use to save memory and performance. Added serverconfig option “ServerMaxWorldTransferSpeedKiBs”, allowing to override the data rate limit which is applied while transferring the world files to new clients. Changed serverconfig option “DropOnDeath” values to now match the “DropOnQuit” values, thus also now allowing “nothing” as a valid setting and shifting all previous values by 1 Added serverconfig option “BedrollExpiryTime”, allowing to specify after how many days of owner inactivity a bedroll will no longer prevent zombie spawns / quest respawns Added console command “gfx dt 0/1” to toggle the distant terrain rendering Added console command “gfx pp ssrdist/ssrit/ssrq” Added console commands to “mem” to control garbage collector (type “help mem” for info) Updated console command “killall” ‘alive’ and ‘all’ parameters to work correctly and updated help Added console command “spawnentityat” takes stepXYZ parameters Updated console command “getoptions” now also allows filtering by substring Updated console command “exportcurrentconfigs” now also exports rwgmixer when run from main menu Modding Support Support for localization from mods – not pushed from servers yet Custom journal entries can be added XUi: Reworked adding/overriding UI sprites. ItemIcons now go to “<mod>/UIAtlases/ItemIconAtlas”. The new system can also be used for the regular UIAtlas that is used with generic XUi sprites (“<mod>/UIAtlases/UIAtlas”) or completely new custom sprite atlases (any other folder name in UIAtlases). Added sprites can be any size (a sensible limit would be 1024×1024 though) and aspect ratio. Created atlases are dumped to disk for inspection when the game is ran with the argument “-exportcustomatlases” Asset bundles from mods are now loaded on game startup instead of when contents of them are first used (e.g. due to spawning an enemy the first time) Allow blocks to have particle effects from custom bundles Mod XML method “removeattribute” Fixed an interaction issue with custom multiblocks XUi: Added support for stash-buttons to “windowBackpack”. Example usage is commented out within that window’s vanilla XML XUi: Allow MaxSpawnedZombies/Animals to be added to the XUi XML for the new/continue game window XUi: Applying a “style” attribute when using a control is now supported XUi: Fixed texture file references not working on macOS Added New reset_books parameter for ResetProgression action Pathing will cross 1m ladder gaps Log when the Origin changes Player vomit sounds VehicleManager signature error message, load message and counts to save message Mark server admins (permission level 0) in player list TGALoader grayscale image support Advanced Engineering reduces material cost of forge recipes up to 20% AudioSource for Alerts, senses, giveups AI SetNearestEntityAsTarget max hear distance parameter and set on animals to be about 5m farther than max see distance AI SetNearestEntityAsTarget plays sense sound when investigating noise Wandering hordes are disabled in playtest mode 4 second delay after world gen to ensure cleanup is done Vehicle steering and tires sent to remotes and FixedUpdateMotors is run Flag players that died during blood moon as invalid GPS AI Director blood moon 1.5 sec update delay for targeting Entity Physics Master system so clients can run physics Occlusion video option Bandages, First aid bandages, first aid kits and splints now give XP Physician perk now gains 20% more xp per rank for using medical items Gas can schematic recipe to loot and traders Encumbrance journal entry after you get the buff for the first time Grenade sound effects & explosions Machete sounds with custom impact overrides.

Infection is easier to contract when you have low health than high health. 1% is barely infected, at 100% infection you die. Stage 1 lasts one (real time) hour and up to 14% and has no side effects. Stage 2 lasts 3 hours (up to 57%) and is25% stamina recovery. Stage 3 lasts 3 hours and is 35% stamina recovery and 1 to all attributes. You die if it reaches 100%. Getting may hit increases infection. Take antibiotics to cure infection, such as honey, herbal antibiotics or pharmacy grade antibiotics. Antibiotics lessen stamina recovery penalty by half while curing.

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.

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.

Hey Survivors, We just release Alpha 17 Experimental. Check our forums for more information on opting in and helping us find the biggest issues. Forum Post Hard to believe but it’s been nearly a year and a half since our last major update. That said, this has been our longest and largest update so far. On top of that, it’s the biggest content drop we’ve ever done. In the future, you can expect shorter 3 month build cycles as we have done all the heavy framework changes we wanted to do in this build. Please remember that this is an experimental build, so it is not without issues. It still needs bug fixing, balancing and optimizations. More optimizations are coming, so if you are not getting the performance you did in previous builds, we highly recommend you lower your resolution and view distance as the first steps. Our team has commented how much better the game looks than previous builds even with a lower resolution and view distance as the HD textures, PBR and distance trees have really changed the game. If you’re still not seeing enough performance, lower reflection quality and tree quality. Problems aside, Alpha 17 is great and in the spirit of getting Alpha 17 it into the hands of our community, we opted to get it out sooner to help us in our goal of a stable version out before the end of the year. We are extremely excited and proud of this build which was a huge team effort and we believe it truly is a new game. Now without further ado, here is a complete list of Alpha 17 release notes! Alpha 17 Official Early Release Notes (B197) Art, Lighting, PBR Rendering and Texture Streaming First off, we’ve updated Unity Engine versions to take advantage of physically based rendering features, as well as greatly improved scene lighting. We have also integrated Unity’s new Texture Streaming which lowers texture ram and provides support for crisp HD textures. This streaming allows us to add nearly unlimited art content in future updates. Nearly all objects and surfaces in game have been improved to support the new lighting features. Ambient lighting improved to show more natural scene lighting. Many surfaces now light with natural subtle reflections to improve overall scene appearance. Party System Join up with friends to form a Party which allows you to play together much easier. Do this by simply inviting a player to your Party from the players menu tab. The system offers these benefits: Share team XP with nearby party members of Zombie Kills Share Quests. Track Party members location, and health. Quest System We’ve added a brand-new quest system. The player receives quests by simply talking to a Trader and looking at his offered jobs and accepting a quest. The player can progress through the ranks of 6 quest difficulty tiers receiving better reward choices for each quest and for graduating each Tier. With it comes a new quest reward system that gives the player XP, money and a growing choice of multiple rewards that can be modified by perking up into the new Daring Adventurer Perk. The system supports many new and old quest types including: Clear Sleeper Fetch Hidden Cache Buried Supplies Clear and Fetch Clear and Hidden Cache Treasure (Old) Challenge (Updated) Navezgane Improvements The Navezgane world grew from 16 square kilometers to 36 square kilometers in size and the terrain and the height have been given an overhaul. The height is much more extreme and natural looking. You will not recognize the world. Locations We’ve re-imagined dozens of original A16 locations with a complete art and gameplay overhaul converting them to beautiful and quest-able dungeon experiences. We have also created many brand-new locations. These locations are all setup to support a variety of quests of 6 Tier difficulties. All locations are working in Navezgane and Random Gen worlds. Over 125 new locations and counting. Some of these include: Shamway Factory Shotgun Messiah Factory Navezagne Hospital Perishton Courthouse 4 Skyscrapers in Departure New giant Perishton Church 4 new Perishton Business Strips 9 Old Businesses 8 Abandoned houses (Non Quest) Apartment Building 65 Houses of varying size and challenge 8 Ramshackle Survivor Sites Water Works Utility Company 3 Army Camps 3 Barns Bus Stop (Non Quest) Cemetery Road Culvert (Navezgane Olny) 7 New Garages Red Mesa Installation Vacant Lot Gas Station Docks Vehicles We’ve completely rewritten and overhauled the vehicle system with from the ground up making many new additions, improvements and changes include: New real physics that make the vehicles feel like a real driving game New Bicycle vehicle that consumes stamina when you pedal it New Badass Motorbike vehicle New 4×4 vehicle that allows a friend to ride shotgun as a passenger New Gyrocopter vehicle allows players to own the skies Updated minibike that uses the new systems New vehicle placement system New vehicle camera system with turning to where you are looking New vehicle controls for hop and turbo. Vehicle control binds were added in a menu/controls/vehicle section New vehicle sound system that handles gears and loops better New ragdoll system so you can drive over zombies and they will realistically ragdoll react to vehicle impacts and go flying in the air taking damage. Surprisingly they can get up again if you didn’t kill them. Improved vehicle storage so it’s on its own radial button with different storage amounts per vehicle New Vehicle mod support. The system will allow players to install vehicle mods that can make vehicles perform better, have more storage and more. Note: Mod items are coming in a future version. This replaces changing of vehicle parts AI and Pathing We’ve completely overhauled the enemy AI and pathing, writing an entirely new A-Star pathing system that rocks. Enemies can do many things in this system including: New path calculations based on distance vs destroying blocks and uses the block health including block downgrades New movement, turning and target estimation New obstacle detection to better path around or destroy New jumping across gaps and up onto ledges (Spiders have a long jump) Improved jumping onto obstacles Updated jump animations with three separate parts Improved handling of stairs Improved ladder climbing, including skipping rungs New digging down if their destination is below them and they can’t walk to it New destroy area mode, when players can’t be reached New group damage bonus, when AI are close together New Vulture AI including circling, attacking the weak and re-positioning in combat. New Radiated Vulture Improved sleeper spawning and tracking. New types of sleepers All sleeper spawns are now game-staged to up the challenge as you level up or party in a group Animals We’ve added a couple new animal models including: New Stag New Doe Modded Item System We’ve added a new mod system that allows users to install mods into weapons, firearms, clothing, armor and vehicles. Basically, anything with a quality can be modded. We removed the old tedious weapon part system to make room for this. There are already over sixty mods to augment your items of quality. Here are a few item mod examples: Attachments like a weapon, scopes, flashlight, silencer or duck bill Internal modifications like a trigger group for burst fire, increased damage, increased fire rate, improved accuracy, full auto, and increased magazine size Adding barbed wire or a different grip to a club for improved damage or swing speed Mods to make tools more efficient Armor mods to help with encumbrance, heat, cold and stealth Mods to dye items to unify your clans look. New Items / Recipes We’ve added dozens of new items, recipes, modes too many to list check out the creative menu for more information or play the game. New foods, drinks and drugs to craft and use. Magazines to grant you temporary attribute and perk levels. Item mods, of course. Schematics to craft mods yourself. Dyes to personalize your weapons and armor. Table saw for crafting furniture and advanced wooden blocks. Grandpas Moonshine (Increases Melee damage for limited time) Grandpas Learnin’ Elixir (Gives you 20% XP boost for limited time) Grandpas Awesome Sauce (Increases your barter ability for limited time) Recog Drug (Increases perception for increased ranged weapon damage) Steroids (Increases strength attribute and removes all encumbrance penalties for a limited time) Mega Crush now boosts your running speed to extreme levels for a limited time. Physical Attribute Skill System and Progression We gutted and rebuilt the skills system from the ground up to be more of a true skill tree. This re-configuration of the skills system centers around five main physical attributes of the player: Perception (PER), Strength (STR), Fortitude (FRT), Agility (AGI) and Intellect (INT),. Each of these attributes are tied to the player’s physical body, and can be affected by equipment, injuries, and illnesses, creating boons and banes to the player’s skills and abilities. Under this system, all skills and perks are governed by one of the five attributes, grouping the skills and perks into general areas of play, and allowing for players to more easily create “class” archetypes by focusing on one or more attributes. The new system has endless possibilities. For example the player might get a concussion which lowers his intellect attribute which has the side affect of not being bale to craft certain items until the concussion heals. Perks grant you specific abilities and higher perk levels require certain attribute levels. Attributes have 10 levels and most perks have 5 levels. The governing attributes and child perks are as follows: Perception Attribute (Perception is the measure of your sensory awareness. Increasing Perception raises damage with firearms) Marksmanship Perks Gunslinger Shotgun Messiah Automatic Weapons Dead Eye Archery Explosive Weapons Boom! Headshot! Run and Gun Scavenging Perks Lucky Looter Salvage Operations Strength Attribute Melee Combat Perks Wrecking Ball Sexual Tyrannosaurus Flurry of Blows Deep Cuts Stay Down Heavy Metal Skull Crusher Construction Perks Miner 69’er Pack Mule Mother Lode Fortitude Attribute Survival Perks Heavy Armor The Huntsman Intrinsic Immunity Well Insulated Living Off The Land Pain Tolerance Recovery Perks Healing Factor Fully Hydrated Slow Metabolism Self Medicated Agility Attribute Athletic Perks Rule 1: Cardio Light Armor Charging Bull Parkour Olympic Swimmer Stealth Perks Ninja Movement Hidden Strike From The Shadows Intellect Attribute Influence Perks Better Barter The Daring Adventurer Charismatic Nature Craftsmanship Perks Hammer and Forge Grease Monkey Advanced Engineering Yeah, Science Physician Master Chef Integrated Survival System ISS We’ve thrown out the old wellness system and added the new Integrated Survival System. The core concept behind the ISS is the introduction of “hard damage” to the player’s Max Health and Max Stamina caps. This “hard damage” represents the cumulative wear and tear to the player’s physical condition through repeated injury or exertion, and is represented by reducing/capping the maximum portion of the health and stamina bar that is recoverable through normal means. Mechanically, the system requires the introduction of two new player stats: “Max Health” and “Max Stamina”. Here’s the breakdown: Health Your current health is displayed in red and max health is grey. Damaged health or your max health cap is displayed in black. Eat food or use medicine to restore health. Use bandages or med kits to restore your max health cap. Stamina Your current stamina is displayed in blue and max stamina is grey. Damaged stamina or your max stamina cap is displayed in black. Drink water to restore stamina. Eat food to restore your max stamina cap. Recovery Rate Health and stamina recovery rate is determined by your water level found in the character stats menu. Buff Notification and new Buff System Properly notifying the player of active status changes and their effects is a current problem with our system. The popout notifications are uniform, regardless of severity, and thus don’t draw enough attention to effects that are critical to the player. We aim to correct this with a new notification system design.Under this new system, each status effect is assigned a severity: Standard (White), Elevated (Amber), and Severe (Red). The notifications for each status effect are color coded accordingly and have additional behaviors based on the severity. The entire legacy buff system has been rewritten for maximum flexibility and transparency between other systems. System designers can add buffs to anything in the game whether hidden or not allowing a multitude of buffs and debuffs. Some new or changed Buffs include: Overhauled all legacy buffs to work with the new system. Near Death Trauma (Lowers your master attributes for a day if you die) Encumbrance and the handling of falling damage are driven by buffs Buffs can play sounds and sound loops, activate screen effects or particle effects at any time. Many new improvements, additions and buff changes too many to list. Backpack Space and Encumbrance System We’ve increased the backpack space from 32 slots in previous builds to a generous 45 slots in alpha 16. Although we’ve given the player more back space we have added a new encumbrance system and here is how it works: The player starts a new game with the bottom 3 rows of his back pack darkened with the encumbrance icon These encumbered slots can be used but with a movement penalty. When no encumbered slots are used there is no movement penalty. The player can purchase 5 levels of the new Pack Mule perk to remove the encumbrance icons form the pack pack and the penalties The can get buffs that cause slots to become encumbered from sickness and other things Reworked Weather Survival We have simplified and reworked weather survival system and here are a few key points: Clothing can have both a hypo-thermal level for cold protection and hyper-thermal level for heat protection no more dressing and undressing constantly. Armor can be modified to add further hypo and hyper thermal protection. The player starts new games with a elemental protection that lasts for the first 5 levels. Various items and blocks can change your protection values including campfires, forges and held torches. New Loot Containers We’ve done a lot of work to improve, balance and make a more guided loot experience. Here are a few of the notable changes: Many common loot containers visibly have a “looted” state and the ones that are lootable are rarely empty. We’ve added a lot of hidden loot to the POIS in hard to find places. Added: Dozens of new loot containers too many to list. Added: Store crates with logos so you can tell its good loot not just random construction loot. Added: Large and Small Gun Bags. Added: Reinforced chests and super chests. Random Gen Random gen has gotten some love and been sped up with these new features: Common file formatting with Navezgane which allows distant trees, pre-generated height for much better performance. New improved Random Gen Previewer located in the main menu/editing tools/random gen previewer. The previewer now has a legend key and the user can set the size of the generated map. New maps can be generated from new game, dedi server and from the previewer. Entire map is generated using tiles(sockets) which allows for future features to be added. Generated maps are now able to be continued even if there are patches to random gen. Terrain generator now has the ability to read in heightmap images for generation. This will be improved in a18. Note: Generating 16k maps is currently disabled until we have time to speed it up. Other World Generation and Biome Changes Biomes have undergone some changes, too including: The plains biome has been removed. Distant decorations (trees) complement the distant terrain for a more realistic scenery Boulders spawn in places where ore veins come close to the surface. Clay does not litter biomes with small sub biomes but is found in all “dirt” topsoil. Item Compare System We added a new system that allows the player to compare items of quality of the same type in loot containers, inventory or worn to be compared. Here is how it works: Click on and inspect item 1 and then mouse over item 2 to see how much better or worse item is than item 1. Positive Stats will appear in Green with a + before the number. Negative Stats will appear in Red with a – before the number. Green is Good and Red is Bad. Worn clothing works the same way but takes into account your worn items. You can simple inspect a similar item in your inventory like an item you wearing and see the difference. UI Changes and Improvements We’ve done a ton of work to the main menu with many improvements including: Main Menu – Overhauled basic visual style. Main Menu – Organized many screens making the information accessible by Tabs and Gamepads. Main Menu – Added Gamepad controller bind diagrams. Main Menu – Added an Editing Tools section where players can create POIS or Preview Random Gen worlds. Main Menu – Streamlined the server browser to make it easier to find servers and your friends. Main Menu – Made it possible to start a solo game and continue it in multiplayer with your friends. Tools Menu – Using the Playtest button, you can launch a single POI as a playable map and immediately see the result of any changes. These in-game UI changes have also been done: We’ve overhauled the Item stats window with a new description and stats tab consolidating the more useful stats. The character screen now has a new primary stats tab and a secondary stats tab to see even more information about your character and the buffs that are affecting him. New Journal tips will be marked with an orange icon and flash when you unread journal tips. The skills menu has been redone with major attributes, perk categories and nested perks underneath. It feels much more like a skill tree. New Creative Block Shapes Over 700 new blocks, shapes and decorations have been added. Don’t make us list them all! Land Claim Improvements You can only have one active land claim block but the claim area is much larger. Claim blocks are cheap to craft and repair. Placing another will instantly deactivate but not destroy your previous one. The claim area prevents zombie respawn. New Stealth System We’ve torn up our old stealth system and created Stealth 2.0. The new system is more player data focused and has less data to manage. Much like horde heat maps players have their own heat signature value that goes up and down over time represented in a new UI stat at the bottom left, colored yellow with an eyeball icon. This stealth UI stat bar is only shown when the player crouches. The fullness of the bar represents how un-stealthy the player currently is accumulating the player’s noise, lighting, movement and posture into one stat. The fuller the yellow bar the more un-stealthy the player is being. Things that affect a players heat signature +/- Player Light Level (Combination of world lighting and player equipped lights that are on) Player Stance (Crouching improves your stealth) Player Motion Level (Moving raises a player’s heat level stillness lowers it) Player Noise Level (Noises raise a players heat level being quiet lowers it. Noises have decay so pounding repeatedly or repeatedly opening loot containers can build up the noise level) Distance from an enemy determines how likely they are to see or hear you New Weapons and Weapon Improvements Weapons have a lot more individual stats. Aiming a weapon will cost some stamina. Reloading a gun or drawing a bow will somewhat slow down your movement speed. Guns no longer auto-reload when the last bullet is fired. World Precision System We’ve re-engineered the center of world precision system so the player will not experience shaky animations and other precision issues when you are far out from the center of the world. Foliage Improvements We’ve added a system that automatically places the correct foliage on POI landscape depending on the biome it spawns in. We added a brand-new distant tree rendering system that renders imposter trees outside of the chunk distance. This is an amazing change that makes the world look vast. We’ve also redone all the pine trees and added a brand new live oak type which can be seen in the desert. We’ve added tree helpers which make POIS spawn and use the native trees of the biome they are in. This change makes the POIs always look grounded to their environment. Animation Improvements We’ve updated all third person player animations with motion capture. We’ve updated/tuned melee animations. We’ve added custom animations for all heavy melees. We’ve updated/tuned animal animations. We’ve added blending from ragdolls back into prone and standing animations Kickstarter Vain Survivalist Fulfilled A big thanks to the vain survivalist below who now have the portraits in the game Kickstarter backer Ben Brett Kickstarter backer Lorien Green Kickstarter backer Derek Med Servers administration (serverconfig.xml etc) Network: RakNet was removed by Unity, UNET removed due to its instability. Currently we use LiteNetLib and SteamNetworking – the latter has had a bunch of stability fixes. Ports currently in use: ServerPort+0/UDP and ServerPort+1/UDP for Steam ServerPort+2/UDP for LiteNetLib ServerPort+0/TCP for Server information Thanks to the port switch Steam connect links on websites and adding servers in Steam’s own serverbrowser now use the ServerPort instead of ServerPort+1 Added a Terminal window if running the dedicated server on Windows which can be enabled by a new serverconfig.xml setting New setting “ServerVisibility” to allow more fine grained control of the visibility of the server in the server browser Setting a value to “ServerLoginConfirmationText” makes users see a window during login that they have to confirm to join The Telnet command interface now allows defining limits for failed logins from a single IP Servers create a copy of the save’s main.ttw automatically and try to revert to the backup if loading the main file fails Passwords passed to the server on the command line are no longer shown in the log Config options passed to the server on the command line no longer have to be case sensitive Changes to serverconfig.xml: Replaced “ServerIsPublic” with “ServerVisibility” Added “WorldGenSeed” and “WorldGenSize” to be used with “GameWorld” = “RWG” Changed “GameMode” to default to the currently only mode “GameModeSurvival” Added “TelnetFailedLoginLimit” and “TelnetFailedLoginsBlocktime” Added “TerminalWindowEnabled” Added “PartySharedKillRange” Added “ServerLoginConfirmationText” Console commands Added “xui” – List/open/close XUi windows Added “debugshot” – Create a screenshot with additional info Added “exportcurrentconfigs” – Export the all XMLs as they are currently used (i.e. with mod patches applied) Added “exportprefab” – Export a given area of the world as a prefab Added “getoptions” – Get all game options (as opposed to getgameprefs which returns server options) Added “placeobserver” – Place a chunk observer on the map to make a certain (area) of chunks loaded Added “prefabupdater” – Used to update old prefabs to the new format. See below in the modding section Changed “teleport” and “teleportplayer” – Added variants that allow specifying the direction the player is supposed to look after the teleport Modding support Log: Chat message logging includes SteamID and EntityID of sender as well as the target group Mod DLLs: Server code mods no longer use inheritance for events but rather register manually to events in the ModEvents class. The only required class from now on is inheriting IModAPI and with an parameterless InitMod method that can be used to register events etc. Allow multiple DLLs in a single mod so that third party libraries can easily be included (still only one is allowed to contain an IModAPI descendant) Renamed old event ChatMessage to GameMessage (no longer handles actual chat messages) and added a new event ChatMessage which handles global chat messages PlayerLogin event signature changed to be able to disallow the client from connecting (return false and optionally specify a message string for the reason) ConnectionManager methods to get ClientInfos were moved to ClientInfoCollection (e.g. ConnectionManager.GetClientInfoForEntityId -> ConnectionManager.Clients.ForEntityId) Generic improvements: XUi texture views no longer leak memory when using a texture with a @file or @http texture Entity spawn menu uses a pageable list to accomodate large numbers of custom entities Performance in recipe searches was fixed to allow large numbers of recipes XML features: Added support for config mods: Create a “config” folder in your mod folder and place XMLs with the name of the vanilla XML you want to patch. Uses XPath based patches similar to what SDX used. A tutorial by Sphereii can be found on the forum: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?93816-XPath-Modding-Explanation-Thread Added support for “CustomIconTint” in blocks.xml Added support for “@modfolder:” prefixes in mod config XMLs – currently used for XUi texture views and everything that loads files from AssetBundles Added support for files from AssetBundles like entity meshes Added XUi controls support for “Defined(<identifier>)” function to test if a parameter was defined when using a control items and blocks no longer have IDs in the XML Added a XUi window template (“serverinfowindow”) that can be filled by a server admin to show server information like rules in ESC menu Level/POI Editor We’ve have improved our internal level editor tool and are shipping in with this build. Users can access it in from the main menu/editor tools/level editor. With it you can do many things including: Browse the POIS that TFP has made. Create a new POI from scratch from the ground up Copy and Paste sections of POIS between levels Multiplayer level edit (Host can save) Add/Edit lights to have custom intensity, color, dynamic pulsing, fluctuating, blinking and more. Playtest a POI by itself in a test world Note: There is a help section in the tools UI if you hit escape. Nearly all functions come from the right menu panels 4 categories and hot keys. The tool is pretty robust but as of now we don’t have any online tutorial or videos they will come in the near future. Until then interested folks should go to our forums modding section and ask questions. If you want to be able to save work you must launch it without EAC. Currently saved files are saved here: steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Prefabs. You can add you custom POIs to a random gen world by editing and adding a text entry in the rwgmixer.xml file located here: Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Config Prefabs: Added an Export Prefab dialog (requires active selection box with DebugMenu enabled) A16 prefabs can be converted to A17 ones with the “prefabupdater” console command. See instructions in blocksA16PrefabConversion.xml Other: Custom worlds can now be added by creating a heightmap etc. Just look at Navezgane for a full example. You don’t have to create a dtm.raw, this is automatically created from dtm.tga when not present. We switched to Unity 2018.2.0f2. Make sure to adopt your custom assets Added More robust settings for if the world generator should auto export data Armor now makes noise. heavy armor is louder than light armor Stats page to armor mods Power attack block damage to item stats Hunting knife power attack 50% chance to dismember Grunt sounds to shiv and knife power attacks Added grunt sounds to pickaxe power attacks Added the continued living motivation buff Food, health, water and stamina stats to all food and drinks Entities drop loot containers based on lootdropprob and lootdropentityclass Added a temperature protection buff for when you first spawn into the game. 24 hours. make it count.

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
