PROJECT Z FULL VERSION

7 days to die project z full version

Description

With the release of the official version of the game 2.0, the PROJECT Z mod is being shared. This is now the largest (of those known) full set of mechanics that works only on the server side, and does not require disabling EAC. All blocks of the project significantly expand the game and provide a new gaming experience.

Many who were looking for mods separately will surely understand what this refers to and will be pleasantly surprised by the current build.
More detailed information can be found in the discord server.

Here is a description of the main blocks of the project:

Armor Balance

A complete rebalance of all armor in the game and the addition of new bonuses from sets. Also added a bonus from the armor class when wearing one type, and the mechanics of half sets (twice as much bonus when wearing 2 or 3 elements of the set)

Better Quest Reward

Reworked rewards for completing a quest from tier 3 above. A little bigger and more useful reward.

Better Stacks

Changed stack values for most items in the game, for more convenient storage and collection.

BigInv 78 slots

Backpack size increased to 78 cells, and the information panel was redesigned.

Bosses

UNIQUE bosses and minibosses. All opponents have unique mechanics and rewards. Currently, more than 15 unique opponents have been implemented.

Contracts

Adds more than 75 new mini-tasks to the game with various rewards and varying difficulty. Significantly expands the gameplay.

Extract the archive after downloading and grab the folder ProjectZ_free_2.2, paste that folder in your %APPDATA%\7DaysToDie folder under the Mods folder (create Mods if it doesn’t exist).

Anyone else notice stability being wonky? I get all yellow/orange blocks unless they’re directly supported underneath (then they’re green). But blocks attached directly to the green block are immediately yellow. There is no improvement in stability if you start with wood in the center and upgrade to cobblestone/cement.

you can edit the controls.xml file in the mods folder. change the “ui_game_symbol_x” colors to all “0” instead of the 255. then change the size of the sprite to 0 to make it super small and invisible, that fixed our issue for another backpack mod after the 2.2 update

I feel like I dodged a bullet with the updates lol. I kinda solved my healing bosses issue- too much dmg. I used Vitas Ascension and Flogi’s perks- AND BSGs relics and RIngs. Even Insane difficulty can get shredded with the right mods in weapons and equipment so I just dialed back. Im still very much enjoying the project. The Wasteland is EVIL. Glad I dont live there. I was wondering when Id face most of these goons to complete the passives…I found them.

Great Mod, I really like the mechanics, however, I’m not sure if mine has a bug but biome progression seems to be broken. After receiving your biome badge as per normal, you still need to drink the smoothies to remain in that biome? Is that a game mechanic or is my game broken? I have a few other mods included and works well with Project Z so Im wondering if its part of the mod mechanic or if maybe its a mod problem, otherwise there are no other issues, thus far. If its a game mechanic, then what’s the point of getting the badge at traders if you still need to continually make the smoothies?

Luke

Reply to  Adrian

That’s totally normal. If you check the skill progression tied to playtime, you’ll notice that certain biomes—like the burnt forest—require time to adapt. For example, spending 25 hours in a biome will eventually grant you immunity to its environmental hazards. There are also some helpful mods you can equip to make survival easier. One of them is the Wet Bandage, which attaches to your helmet and protects you from Monoxide Poisoning while you’re in those harsher zones.

Si te fijas en el apartado de habilidades hay una q parece una mano con un mancha roja, en ella vas a ver que necesitas estar en cada bioma 25 horas para la inmunidad total así que si, vas a necesitar al rededor de 60 batidos por bioma salvo que se te haya otorgado puntos de adaptación en un inicio lo que serian solo 50 batidos o menos. Aun así teniendo la inmunidad te va a seguir pidiendo las modificaciones propias de cada bioma como la venda para el monóxido en el bosque quemado. Parece tedioso pero así es mas realista y lo considero mas entretenido. La insignia lo que hace es darte mas minutos de poder estar expuesto al bioma sin batidos, en vez de 3 son 5 minutos, y una vez llegues a las 25 horas reales no solo tendrás inmunidad si no beneficios contra los jefes

With the new changes to lose negative traits how does this work? My char has obesity and it says to run around but the time remaining says 0. I applied the 2.1 update over an existing 2.0 game, feels like you didn’t set it up to work with old saves?

maybe try going into admin mode and make sure you have special items clicked. there are usually items to help start a challenge/quest and more in there. F1 brings up console command – type in DM to go into admin mode and then click on items.

Reminder: When you completed the biome challenges it doesn’t mean it ends there and freely roam, you need to spend 25 hours ingame/real time per biome to remove the biome effects permanently and by spending lots of hours always make smoothies everytime it keeps the smoothies duration longer than ever before. that feature is implemented on the modpack

Does anyone else have problems with the stun baton charging after getting knocked down?
I’m in nerd gear, 5/5 electro and 5/5 Int mastery. When a boss such as Bear Daddy knocks me down, the stun baton never charges again. Tried many things, the only way to get charge back is to make a whole new baton. It has been the same at every tier/level of the baton too.

Hi! Sorry about my terrible English. After installing the mod (the only mod installed), completing the mod quests doesn't remove the biome effects; it just increases the timer slightly (from 3 minutes to 6 or 7 minutes). Any solution?

Yes! Its in the Config/buffs.xml file from line 12410 downwards <!– FOREST TIMER –>
From there, edit the values for various biomes for example in:
<requirement name=”CVarCompare” cvar=”TimerForest_HH” operation=”GTE” value=”25″/>
This the required 25 hours for level 10 biome adaption for the forest.
change value=”25″ to 5 hours or whatever you like.However the time for the lower levels should also be changed to not mess up something up…
And the description in game will still say “25 hours”, the according line can be changed in the Config/Localization.txt
Hope that helps!

There is wrongly set recipes for ammo box craftings. You can easily duplicate ammo by crafting box of ammo (1000) from only 100 pieces. So from 100 ammo you can have 1000.

I REALLY hope this fixes a bug where the guns straight up HEAL the bosses. Not the minis but every single summonable and wandering boss takes a little dmg and then heals per shot. You can straight up top them off if you are max lvl. I thought at first maybe its elemental- but I whoop ass with baton and unique Burning shaft weapon mod on an axe and they turn to jelly. Its just the guns. Regardless of ammo.

Yeaaaah so I’m still a part time medic.
I thought ok maybe its just the Defender buffing the boss but then literally remembered I was fighting the Bull.

Idk what it is, but guns HEAL the Bosses. Explosions trigger this “vampirism” less but I’ve watched it happen. The only thing that does damage consistently is melee.

Luckily I didn’t start over (kept my character progress)

Maybe if I crafted a new gun itd reflect the update? I toyed with the mod slots and stacksizes previously and saw they held up (stacks will allow no more but will hold what is there without auto division)

Eh I’ll give a new weapon a go to see.
Got no qualms with the rest of the mod- The stacks and values are tailorable enough to do alone, but the guns love healing!

Just when I thought I was being clever and whittling health with fall damage before murder-

Turns out the QUEST completes but the COUNTER does not consider fall damage as a player kill.

You can imagine my disdain when I murdered around 20 Bulls, Veterans, and Carriers only to have like 5 and 8 a piece due to ME having the last hit…

More to report- melee heals too or the dmg must loop around and cause healing too (occasionally)
Though at times I can absolutely shred a boss like 30% a in short bursts. Dunno if thats a “weakspot” thing but Ive taken to tenderizing the bodies.

Feels like Im Joker with a Crowbar asking what hurts more…

Unsure if this is a bug or not, however in 2.0 version of the mod I was able to use many other QOL mods such as Izy Gun pack and Bdubs Vehicles, with version 2.1 if I have any other mod installed the game gives red error codes once I get on the mission to kill the first zed. Upon its death, all creatures freeze in place and the quest does not complete. Have confirmed the mod works fine if its the only one installed.
