Ohhhhhhhh yesssssssssssssss !

Tried connecting to your server, but was unable to.

How is alpha 11?

Sorry, took it down to update to 11.2 and forgot to restart it. I will get it back up tonight and post here. Sad thing is I haven't really tried it yet...got side tracked.

Ok, should work now.

Wow, this one is definitely a bit tougher. Between the craft quality mechanics which are cool and some new annoying bugs, survival was pretty challenging. Set up a small platform near some water in the light woodlands? biome. So some things to consider...

1. One, it seems they have an issue with some invisible blocks, trunk tips in particular. If a zombie touches a non-upgraded spike, it disappears, does no damage to anyone, but still occupies space. I am updating the xml file tonight and restarting the server. This will fix the problems with all future spikes but nothing for the ones that are already down.

2. The new bow is a one shot kill to the head of most zombies. It takes a while to get the aim down though and the range is pretty short. It's cheap though.

3. Early tools should be used til destroyed. As you level you will craft better tools so no point in repairing a crappy one.

4. CAVES.

5. Ladders are very dodgy right now, I would advise against their use. On several occasions, I reached the top of a ladder and then flew 50 ft into the air. Also keep in mind right now the shortest of falls will break your leg...so take it easy.

6. Fog has been added in, it looks pretty good and leads to some beautiful sun rises. It is also the first step towards dynamic weather.

7. Blunderbuss is pretty sweet.

8. You can make a stone shovel but no stone pick(sp?). Until you find some iron I think digging in is out of the question. I have thought about fortifying a cave but since I believe zombies can spawn down there it could be an issue.

9. Getting set up for water was pretty simple for me last night but food is a problem. You do have to eat and drink far less in this version but you have to work for food.

All I got right now. I will bring the server down briefly to reset that xml tonight.

Thanks for the update, haven't played this in a long time, good to hear about the progress.

Weasel joined my server last night for an hour or 2. Showed him some of the basics.

updated base coords.

Ate all your food and left some turd in the storage box

Well, it's a survival game. I ate the turd, you should chew more.

Just got back from a trip. I'll swing by when I have settled down.

The pop up is horrible. I've twice run to the 'edge of the world' on your server today because nothing loads up properly. I made it to your base, but died.

Examining things like birds nests seems finicky, like you have to be looking at the correct piece of ground.

Iron clubs are worthless.

Yeah, bow and bone_shiv now. The pop in is definitely crazy but I haven't reached the edge yet...ouch.

Got my sleeping bag set up. Found lots of caves to the South and a town down South, as well as a big apocalyptic city.

There is a cave down by the water that is small but full of iron.

When are you guys in-game? I'm checking the TS channel on the times we previously hooked up but no one's around.

I'm not on 7d as much as before because I'm not on my pc as much. I will probably play some tomorrow night .... Rockets game on tonight. I know snappy has been playing a lot of elite. Maybe we should find a 7ds night?

Well good luck and don't wait up. I'm heavily invested in modded Dying Light at the moment and mostly doing Single Player on all my favourite games, including 7 Days

Having trouble connecting to the server. It takes a long time to get the password to pop up, and then it just spins the wheels for a very long time.
