A Refined Start to Survival
Embrace a fresh perspective on survival with TheMeanOnes Better Beginning, a thoughtfully crafted mod that reimagines the early game in 7 Days to Die. This overhaul integrates seamlessly into the game’s progression system, enhancing tools, weapons, and exploration while maintaining the spirit of vanilla gameplay.
< Client Side Modlet > Version 1.2
Key Features:
Specialized Tools:
The multitool Stone Axe has been replaced with the Stone Pickaxe, Stone Hatchet, and Stone Hammer. Each tool serves a unique purpose:
Stone Pickaxe: Optimized for resource gathering.
Stone Hatchet: Ideal for chopping trees.
Stone Hammer: A better repair tool for efficient building and maintenance.
These tools are seamlessly integrated into the progression system where the Stone Axe once stood, making their addition feel natural and rewarding.
Expanded Weapon Arsenal:
Take advantage of four new primitive weapons:
Stone Knife: A nimble tool for quick strikes and resource harvesting.
Stone Sword: A durable blade perfect for early-game combat.
Bone Sword: A savage weapon crafted from bones for primal warriors.
Bone Club: A weapon crafted from the femurs of the fallen.
These weapons slot intuitively into the crafting tree alongside existing items, offering additional choices for players without disrupting balance. They more or less better bridge the beginning gap between what the Stone Axe was and the Iron tools/ steel.
Enhanced Biomes: The world is alive with detail, featuring bone piles, spiked skulls, shiny new oil ore textures, and four unique rock formations. These immersive additions enrich the landscape, making exploration more engaging.
New Harvesting Stage on Zombies: Zombies when harvested have a high probability of ending up as a skeleton. When this happens, just Harvest away for additional bone!
Cohesive Progression: Beginner challenges have been rewritten to reflect the new tools and weapons, ensuring a smooth and logical introduction to the revamped early game.
Why Better Beginning is the Perfect Client-Side Mod:
Seamless Integration: Tools, weapons, and resources are naturally woven into the game’s progression where their counterparts existed, or in addition to them, ensuring an intuitive experience for players.
Balanced and Engaging Gameplay: The specialized tools and expanded crafting systems provide a more rewarding progression without overpowering the early game.
Enhanced Multiplayer Dynamics: Specialized tools encourage teamwork and role specialization, fostering cooperation in multiplayer survival.
Looking Ahead:
If Better Beginning gains popularity, future updates will expand on the primitive survival theme, adding more tools, weapons, and environmental elements that embrace the essence of the apocalypse.
Important note:
In order to see the Biome Changes, you must start a new world. These are generated alongside the map. They MAY generate in chunks not visited yet, but I cannot guarantee this. This mod is more geared to beginning a new world, however you should be able to download it and still enjoy the new weapons.
Forge your path, wield your tools, and conquer the apocalypse like never before. Better Beginning offers a smarter, more immersive way to start your survival journey. – TheMeanOne
