Survivor 2.0

Description

Welcome to Survivor.

An overhaul mod designed to revitalize the sense of exploration and survival in 7 days to die.

The main changes from the base game are as follows:

1) Traders are always open, but quest rewards (dukes and xp) are heavily nerfed. You can now consider questing as optional, as the time to go back and forth is likely not worth it early game. It’s better to consider the Trader as a place for trade, where you can exchange goods for knowledge and materials.

The only exception to this rule is an endgame quest called The Legendary Hunt, which rewards T4 Weapons. The quest can be started anytime, assuming you have the required materials to locate the building.

2) Food & Water are now much more scarce early game. Dew Collectors have been moved to level 40 workstations, and their cost have been increased, along with their health. Combine this with the Trader changes to goods also affecting their vending machines, and now, you don’t have any easy supply of drinks.

Either risk dysentery or find some poor souls last meal. The issues don’t stop there. Animals have started to turn… and now are made up of 20-50% rotting flesh. This could help with farming, but the farming and cooking perks have also been increased in cost, due to their easy access in the General Tree. All general trees perks have had their costs rebalanced. The silver lining is that with some gentle massaging, chickens have a chance to deliver some eggs when harvested…

3) 3 Perks have been nerfed. The infiltrator no longer allows the Survivor to pickup landmines. Medic chance to instant kill with the stun baton lowered from 10% to 5%. And Intellect Mastery Rank 2 chance to add a book to all look lowered from 25% to 10%. However, all gathering perks other than farming have been doubled.

4) Biome Hazards are more dangerous now, but the timer is MASSIVELY increased. Burnt (2hp/s – 2 hours), Desert (5hp/s – 1 hour), Snow (10hp/s – 30 minutes) & Wasteland (20hp/s – 20 minutes). Smoothies have been removed and you can now complete the Biome Hazard Challenges in any order, to gain immunity to the Biome Hazard. This won’t affect wandering hordes however, which have now tripled in size…

Just a tip: First aid heals for 2hp/sec without perks.

5) Storms no longer deal damage. But there are multiple negative effects from hanging out in a storm. Notably, your vehicles use more fuel (70%) and are unwieldly to use. You’ll also see a notable decrease to stamina regeneration (40%) in the storm, indicating the difficulty of pushing through it. Your mobility, jump height, attack speed and reload speed will all also be negatively affected by 10%.

Venturing into each Biome, you’ll find additional effects. In the Burnt Forest, the heat will reduce your stamina recovery even further (90%). In the Desert, the sandstorms will prevent you from moving, greatly reducing mobility (70%). In the snow, the intense cold will make attacking and reloading difficult (40%), while also reducing your mobility (20%). And in the Wasteland, the radiation makes you dizzy, lowering your mobility (30%) and preventing jumping all together. (Parkour can counter this effect)

6) Biome specific zombies and tiers are changed. Forest (Normal), Burnt (Feral & Normal), Desert (Infernal, Feral & Normal), Snow (Charged, Feral & Normal), Wasteland (Bosses (downtown only), Radiated, Feral & Normal). Each tier up has more health and damage. Radiated zombies are now the strongest zombie type, followed by Charged, then Infernal, then Feral and finally Normal. The Wasteland Bosses drop loot required to start your Legendary Hunt for T4 Weapons.

7) Crafting is limited to Level 3, and loot is limited to Level 5 for weapons and Level 6 for armor. Level 6 weapons can only be acquired from The Legendary Hunt. Upon completion of The Legendary Hunt, the Trader will reward you with a Level 5-6 T4 Weapon.

8) Repair kits can no longer be crafted and have increased value to the Traders. Bags are larger and stack sizes are increased. There are also new Legendary Mods you can craft, along with a Stability Blocks for expanding possible base options.

Don’t hesitate to let me know your thoughts and if you encounter any bugs.
