Making The Wait A Bit Easier


So as i'm sure you've noticed the next alpha is taking a lot longer than everyone thought. I don't have any affiliation with The Fun Pimps so i don't have any "insider" info and obviously there isn't anything i can do to make things go any faster. I've only ever had a couple brief conversations with the devs on their form.

To make the wait a bit easier for any of you like me that can't wait i'll share some things and links with you ;).

You can find an explanation for the delay and confirmed A17 features on their form here: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?74084-Developer-Diary-Alpha-17

It's also a good read exploring the rest of the form =)
MadMole (One Of The Developers) has a YouTube channel where you can see some A17 gameplay here:

Their are also a couple of youtubers i watch sometimes that do a lot of 7dtd content. Kage848 does a lot of lets plays and Capp00 does a lot of test videos testing different things and Vendui does a bit of both.

Kage848:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY6c18sccqyFL6PS5KVpicw
Capp00:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo82a6R5BDP57ykqNHLT6dA
Vendui: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9DgwaUiqcNO9oUuiFQMh6w

And finally if you've exhausted everything else, try another game for a while, it's good to take a break and when you come back to a17 it will be more fresh too you. I'm playing The Long Dark atm (pure survival without the zombies haha) if you like 7dtd it's a good chance you'll like that.

I know the wait can be a pain but on the plus side it's given me plenty time to prepare and catch up on my to do list haha. I've upgraded the network here build/refurbished 3 additional machines and prepped a server for hosting the current server that will become the legacy server, moved the test server to a dedicated Linux machine and setup another server to host the Botman server manager so hopefully I'll be able to easily spin up new bots to the new servers and many more behinds the scene things like getting the web maps nice urls instead of ip+port and improving the web maps visuals. Nazys Survivors is quickly turning into a little empire haha when a17 drops it's gonna be a good place to be =)

Both Server Now Live Finally!

After a long couple months both servers are now back up and running. There are some small things i've yet to finish like: -NSS Main Webmap is non functional -NSS Main ui has broken links & Misaligned UI -NSS Main is missing the discovery bonuses for traders -NSS Main has not had it's webmap markers added (reset zones, traders, etc) -NSS Main & NSS DID have had my new block protection buffs pulled for the time being (ran into a last minute issue that will take some time to fix, so just pulled it for now) I'm going to take a much needed break over the weekend and hang out on the servers. Come monday i'll get my head back down and finish off the last of those minor issues. Hope you all enjoy the servers details bellow have fun!

Test Version Of Servers Mods Available On DID & Servers A21 Roadmap

I've finally gotten a more or less functional version of the servers mods ready for initial playtesting. There are some issue with it however, the UI is still screwy in places and some localisation may be incorrect or missing. I'll start dealing with those issues next but it's playable for the moment. Let me know if you see any errors in things like crafting unlock requirements, crafting ingredients, item/weapon stat issues. A21 is the first alpha i've not been able to have everything ready for stable so i apologise for the delays. The current plan for DID and the Main server is: - Finish fixing UI /Localisation issues with the mod & any bugs found - Get all the custom prefabs converted for A21 - Create a new vanilla 10k Map for DID with all of the mains servers features (server hub, custom prefabs, arena etc) - Package up all public mods/prefabs for release and finish up any testing that needs done - Create a 10K map Using the Teragon Map Generator for the main ser
