Running a voice activated mic on Mumble, and after fighting off a bunch of dogs a couple of hours before we were all on edge, running around outside our base digging a trench and throwing down spikes getting ready for the darkness to come.

All of a sudden the UPS guy knocks loudly on my door, startling my Pitbull. She has a really big bark and when she got scared she went apesh*t snarling and barking next to me. Not only did I think I developed spontaneous dysentery, but my mic picked it up loud and clear scaring the crap out of my base-mates as well.

Ah, good times...

Hey there everyone,

I'm a mod over at /r/7DaysToDie who took over this subreddit after I noticed people were posting over here / no mods or admins were active.

Since this subreddit's active community is small, I'm going to be closing this Subreddit from new posts and ask that all of you please check out /r/7DaysToDie as an alternative.

If anyone has any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to me and I'll see what we can do :).

I hope it's not against the sub rules to recommend checking out another sub, but I've noticed a fair amount of new players on this sub-reddit the past month or so and wanted to make sure they knew about /r/7daystodie . I don't have any problems or anything with /r/7DTD but the other sub has a much larger community so sometimes it's easier to get questions answered, find players to play with, etc. I'm just suggesting subscribing to both, not abandoning this one. Anyway, I'll remove my post if it bothers anyone, just thought I'd throw the info out there.

I am stuck at like 1/6 the way into 86 and do not seem to gain XP. is this max level? I can find back in the day 60 was max but nothing about current caps. If I would have known i would switch skill points around.

... just not for stone.

You can break any resource with one shotgun shell from a flawless shotgun, and if the ceiling is reasonably close, you can mine from the base of the cavern too.

1 Lead Ore = 3x Lead Ingot = 24 Buckshot

1 Potassium Nitrate Ore + 1 Coal Ore = 5 Potassium Nitrate + 5 Coal = 50 gunpowder

2 lead Ore and 1 Potassium Nitrate Ore and 1 Coal Ore = 4 shotgun blasts = 44 shells profit

NOW, the Auger-

3 animal fat + 6 dirty water (and 6 glass jars) + 6 ears of corn = 1 Fuel Can

BUT...

3 animal fat (so one shotgun shell for a fat zombie/deer) + 2 Log = 3 Biofuel

6 glass jars (and these are agonizing to get, and they get consumed for fuel) -> 6 dirty water

6 Dirty Water + 2 log = 6 Water

6 Water + 6 Cornmeal + 3 logs = 6 Grain Alcohol

so the recipe for a Gas Can is actually 1 Shotgun Shell + 6 glass jar + 6 Corn + 7 Logs, a recipe that takes a lot more time to make than a handful of shotgun shells after a trip to Born & Noble.

This will net you 50 resources, give or take, just 2 ore mined over four blasts of a shotgun shell(and a trip to a B&N).

All in All, if I'm down a mine, shotgun shells are my preferred method, since they're effectively self-replacing.

I was just playing with the forge and found if I input a lead trophy I get 10 raw lead but if I break it down to scrap first I only get 5.

So I've played the game for about twenty hours now, and I have to say, I suck. I'm just not sure what to do at the very start to survive. I'm familiar with the basic punch-stuff-to-get-a-stone-ax plan but then I've been lost since alpha 14. My main problem is that health regens so slowly and the zombies always find a way to hit me. And so, I end up running across the wilderness to terrified to look for food or medical supplies, even after I've put on the easiest settings and spawned in some guns at the very beginning.

Anyway, I'd love to hear some of your starting plans (like should I rush to a pop n pills or just find necessities like food), basic tips, your own problems, your favorite tutorial series, stories of what you did as a noob, etc. I like this game but I'm afraid of constantly rage-quitting because dying lowers your wellness so much.

My FPS is choppy and stuttery, opposed to before Alpha 13

I hope there isnt already one that I dont know about.....

There's about 40-50 zom zoms that hit you in about 4 waves. And there's 2 or 3 feral zombies which are tough to kill. In my current playthrough I'm holed up in a small two story building which I've fortified greatly via creative mode.

This game is awesome!! I like the open aspect, and that every playthrough is different.
