True Survival

7 days to die true survival, 7 days to die overhaul mods

WIP A21.2 TRUE SURVIVAL

Mod is available in SP, Coop and Server play. It is not finished and is still in active development and open to suggestions, feedback and bug reports. At this time no assets may be used for redistribution.

This mod was designed to walk the line between realism and fun engaging gameplay. Where realism became grindy or not fun Spider tried to aim for engaging gameplay mechanics with a focus on risk and reward and a strong sense of consequences. Death in this mod is permanent with few exceptions. In this mod when death occurs your player data is wiped and you will respawn as a fresh new player.

A very strange one-color car that looks like a Volkswagen. They really spoil the atmosphere. Why were they added?

Hey guys the mod is great but is there any way to remove headshot only damage?

It’s in the entityclasses.xml of the truesurvival mod itself in the config folder.. look for the line “head shots only” around line 291 and change the damagemodifiers to what you want.. -100 is no damage (though I think that’s overkill as a percentage that is 1 is 100%. Even the -0.3 is reduced damage by 30% which is why everything is harder to kill.

will you update soon to 21.2? also there seem to be some problem with the workshop upgrading quest. it used to start a quest and then i had to get to a location to receive the upgrading equipment but now it only said i need an item. Are they randomly found in the loot now ?

It’s an amazing in-depth survival and crafting healing mod, RUINED by silly/stupid monsters that don’t belong in Zombie Game this could have been the PZ mod everyone wants for 7DTD

I agree. The chicken and rabbit becoming violent and being a zombie but the deer not is a bit weird too, to me. You could probably go through spawning.xml and remove the new spawns but I didn’t mod this so not sure how many dependencies are built in.

Is this mod compatible with sexy Trader Jen, Trader Attitude, and 2-10 Skill Points per Level mods? Is thier a mod that makes it so that the trader’s are open 24/7 and destructible so that the plants and stuff inside can be gotten? Thank you for your time and the mod.

The models for Jen and others don’t seem to be touched so mods only changing their models shouldn’t bother this mod.. the skill point mods would be useless though as skillpoints seem to have been removed from the game in this mod.

So okay me and my friend tried this mod. It was and is really nice but there are some aspect which are kinda making the whole experience worse. So firstly we spawned in took our classes and stuff made some first weapons and tried to find where we can survive our first night. Basic stuff right. We found cottage with five zombies no biggie. Made beds and bunkered in for the night. At night we made a lot of effort to not attract attention but somehow small horde of zombies was still on us with like first seconds of the night. Like in vanilla four five zombies easy but here there are some difficulties. So we semi survived the night. We were like well that went poorly next day I tried to fortify our cottage build some spikes and cleared the perimeter. Night is approaching we turned every light off started to sneak and waited. Somehow the event of first night was repeated for whatever unknown reason to me. We dealt with it accordingly. Next day it was time to get looting we found something close to motel which looked like a big summer house. Started clearing zombies but then we arrived at the bar in this house. There were a lott of zeds. Okay will take a while but nothing with patience one cannot handle. But then I noticed something as we were killing the zeds and going through locations which we cleared the same day, enemies respawned there. I noticed this happen more than few times it kinda beats the mood. I will not go into a details how there are some inconsistencies with zombie difficulty and such. Like there aint much info to get just looking at some zeds some are easy to dispatch others and I am not kidding takes ridiculous amount of punishment I am talking full focus of two players with melee weapons and each did like 20-30 hits to head and that fool was still going at us. Like I really like this mod but there are just things as stated above that are ruining my experience with game and as such makes it not enjoyable.

Great concept! My only complaint is you get too much thrown at you all at once.
Being unfamiliar with the many professions, hobbies and traits there is no way to tell what is best to keep while scavving and what to pass on relating to your choices.
If you try to stand and read up on your profession, you get attacked by barking, growling bunnies and chickens!
I haven’t been able to figure out how to build a shelter without being inundated with attackers.
I have found firearms (but no ammo), minibikes and a motorcycle(!), but unless I start the game with a wrench, no way to fuel them!

edit: ok i checked the wrong file the skill point gain per level was set to 0 inside the true survival_20 progression file i have now fixed it. Was this done on purpose are skill points no longer part of the mod concept?

yes, skill points have been removed.. everything is based on doing them, “learn by doing” and by schematics found in the world from what I’ve seen.

Just wanted to leave a comment on this:

If you’re working with newer updates(19.5 in my case), make sure you don’t copy over the Assembly-CSharp.dll into the game files, as this will break the game and you’ll end up with a unity crash.

Quick question, I have been playing this mod for a while I’m on day 70+ and I got a fermentation barrel but not sure how to obtain murky water. I tried going to a lake with jars but they wont fill and there doesn’t seem to be a recipe for it. Haven’t seen it drop anywhere unless there is a working faucet you can get it from, but I haven’t seen a plumbing guide either. So i guess the question is; How do I get murky water to use in the barrel?

So far I love the idea of this mod and as a survival guy I want to dig into it.

I downloaded all the files, and put them where they need to go, but on Single Player it still stats me off with the basic items, and doesn’t give me the “Start Here” item.

When I connect to the server everything seems to work fine. How can I get this to work on Single Player and it maybe even host it on my own server as well?
