SunGod

Are we there yet? Just hit me I've been playing the game since 2013. For anybody wondering what was happening in the world the day 7DTD was first released 9 years, 9 months and 10 days ago -- and I know you weren't -- according to Billboard the #1 pop song in the US on August 16, 2013 was Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines". Sit back and enjoy it while you wait for Alpha 21...

The Lost Episodes #47 has just dropped! Exploring the frigid nearby city brings about an entirely new set of suprises and challenges... namely staying warm... and finding food... and not getting killed.

Just released a new addition to The Lost Episodes, #46 "Welcome To Apocalypse Island". Just on the outskirts of a ruined city, I find a new home with a view of a frozen wasteland across the lake... which seems glorious until I actually have to go there to find desperately needed survival supplies. ABOUT "THE LOST EPISODES" Once thought lost to time, SunGod returns with newly-resurfaced episodes in hand to continue the original run of his long-running 7 Days To Die series with THE LOST EPISODES. Take a step back in time and join me for the journey through the zombie apocalypse!

Hey everybody, it's me, SunGod! You might remember me from such shows as "Timmy: The Adorable Wonder Hamster", and "Blood Flows Red On The Highways!"... but seriously, I've returned to YouTube, and am kicking things off with the completion of the original 7DTD series that I started way the heck back in Alpha 6. Yeah, I said Alpha 6. That's 2014 for all you playing at home. Turns out that when life got busy, I had left hours and hours of gameplay footage unedited and unloved. Well, today I'm here to correct that injustice. I will also be starting an all-new 7DTD series soon, starting with the current release (Alpha 20.6), and already have an episode or two queued up. You can also expect to see the remainder of the original 7DTD series released over coming weeks until all the newly-unearthed footage is edited up and released, which I'm now branding as "The Lost Episodes" (full YouTube playlist here). I'm excited to be back, and hope to reconnect with many of you who I've enjoyed so much game-time with over the years. Drop me a note and let's chat! -SunGod Founder, The Long Dark Night PVE (RIP) Here's Episode 45 of The Lost Episodes:

Count me in as really loathing the new farming system. It's ultra-grindy and frustratingly inefficient. What's the actual point of me investing in Living Off The Land skills when getting back seeds is such a crapshoot? Sorry Pimps, looooooong time player here since Alpha 5, but this is not a great way to address your concern about players having too much food. Want to make food harder to grow? Then instead try these things that would make a LOT more sense than how A20 does it: Introduce weather effects on plant growth. Too cold? Then slow or halt the growth rate. Alternate growth speed based on available sunlight and day length. Players love day lengths of 9 hours? Then give them 7 hours of light that contributes to plant growth, or lowers the yield. Introduce plant fungi and diseases that can kill crops. Don't catch it in time and you planted everything too closely together? Then you lose everything. Will also force you to keep an eye on your crops rather than venturing out into the world and taking it for granted everything will grow just fine Introduce soil fertility as a factor for plant yield. Planting in crappy soil or desert scrub? Then get a low yield. High fertilized and high watered soil? Then get a high yield. (I seem to recall fertilizer being an option some years back.) But I agree with OP, having a random seed-return rate despite having invested points into the farming skill is pretty ridiculous. Seems the game is way overweighted on crafting junk like helicopters and 4x4s, and just really missed the mark on farming in A20. Downvote from me, big turnoff.

Amen. These server fixes have been a lifesaver, and make admining a 7DTD server soooooooo much easier! Thank you!!!
