Getting Tier Completions in 7 Days To Die 1.0 [Episode #5] 

Really stupid that you have to use stone axe no matter what you have. they really need to fix these

I think prebuilt hates the tool tips, reference the episode where he discovered "POI keys" were highlighted to show new players there is a door mechanism and he said things like "TFP think players are too stupid to find keys" or something - in general IP is 'too professional' to rely on floating tool tip markers.

Good info

But he is playing on insane difficulty. Don't like bullet sponge? Take nightmare speed instead for the challenge and lower the difficulty...

@@Rdlprmpf12 The health buff is across all difficulties, from others comments after week one melee builds seem to be too challenging.

@@Rdlprmpf12 Yup! The health buff on zombies is active generally. You can especially tell that they buffed it on Nomad and higher difficultues. Zombies are sponges in general now.

If you have the HP and bandages it isn't too bad.........

@@laserblast92 as a new player you won't have any of those =)) And even if you do, as a new player you'll need those things to fight zombies not TFP's game design

Wait what? I just opened Jen, but since I hate the burnt biome I went back to Rekt. I opened the teleport cheat and I have 4 Rekt's in the pine forest. Why the fuck would I go to Jen when I've only discovered the one Rekt so far? There is something wrong with this game regarding traders, always has been. TFP want to slow players down, yet they rush players to the next biome after only 10 jobs. I want to see and do everything in the pine forest before I move on, ffs.

"trader quest progression not working if you do not return to the last trader you opened" Ok, that explains why Jen is not giving me the next quest. I went back to Rekt while I had a sugar butt actively. I think there are a lot of teething issues for sure. I do like the unified quest progression (so once you are at Tier 2, it applies to all traders). The trader-per-biome is growing on me. I like that the burnt biome is back. But we are going to need to be able to use mannequins as armour stands, or a special locker, or something to be able to organise the sets better. Quick armour swaps are going to be desperately needed. Might make the metal lockers work buying from the traders now, lols.

4:38 quote

This is a deliberate mechanic. Any stumps in pois have a higher chance to give honey when harvested than ones found in the wild, because reasons

@@nickrl113 yeah, perfectly balanced as all things should be! I don’t mind these things, I just wish it was more clear. A lack of clarity is frustrating

Big Mama, too.

I rerolled my seed three times this playthrough because my traders were legit 1.5k away from all poi. Doing a single quest took half the day because how far everything was.

looks terrible tbh, like they just desaturated everything.

@@mrrooter601 Yeah, it looks quite stupid.

I think they were going for more of a rotting flesh look, but yeah, they overdid it.

Especially because it is just that easy to program the game to be tougher for multi-player and scale the difficulty depending on the number of players.

descent* - decent is how you describe the "buttery smooth" FPS when you turn off Dynamic Mesh

@@stevdor6146 I never knew, that's why my CPU is half burnt all the time

@@hungphan5089makes me wish I got an i7 or a i9

the chestpiece or as a set?

@RoseDragoness Only the preacher chestpiece. Otherwise use heavy armor and read books with the nerd outfit equipped. I would always use nerd helmet as you don't need any stat bonuses once you literally become unkillable.

Yeah, I don't understand why they buffed armor so high.

@@unwithering5313 considering how much they still want to do and how much we should have that we still don't, I don't why on earth they were so happy to call this 1.0

It's more like Alpha 21.7 to me. Doesn't feel like a full alpha, as they have been.

Im on day 13 of my playthrough. Ive found a total of 1 treasure map so far. I think they've made them a lot rarer. I have found that infested clear caches give out a goodly amount of ammo though.

is THAT why they buffed the HP? -= so that you can't easily get the "when-kill" stamina refills or the damage buffs from chained kills

I feel for you buddy ..i lucked out using bats ,level 6 baseball bat kills normies 1 shot ,ferals 3,radiated about5. i think they took inspiration from Joke mods bat to the moon as hits really send zeds flying

@@stevdor6146 perhaps, its fine on normal zombies, especially walkers/joggers, but with sprinters up you just dont have time to finish anything, despite the fing 50% damage buff on downed targets spears have, like their literal entire playstyle revolves around multi hitting zombies and knocking them down, the finishing one to be able to repeat. I never used to bother with rad remover on my melee, but after going into the wasteland week 2 and dealing with them on "1.0" good luck finishing one if you are fighting more than one at a time (which is always). It doesnt matter for my pure melee horde base (5 block raised U shaped cage with a walkway parallel to a bunch of column windows) since if they dont die they just run back around, or I can use moonshine and oneshot everything, but clearing POIs has turned into cancer. I havent really had to deal much with irradiated wights or armoreds, but its just so weird. it FELT balanced already. I just dont understand why they changed it.

the t1 poi meth lab "Cook's house" that is mostly burned down, and has the floor drop into pit of water, should have a tree stump in the POI footprint in the corner to the left of where the quest marker would appear. Tree stumps in POIs have a 20 or 25% chance of giving honey instead of the wilderness rate of 5% from a stump. There are also logging POIs that have 3 or 4 stumps about the yard and the Apiary (bee farm) should have a couple stumps (not the bee hives themselves) but yea.

24:54 "as long as i don't get hit, the vultures will leave me alone" he says with 109/114 HP

You can use fergetin elixirs to sort of get around the issue, but now that dukes are harder to obtain it probably won't be as easy as before Especially since I liked to smelt my dukes for brass to craft the bullets

@@banu6301 Yeah that’s what my plan was, but it still takes away that fun/feeling of your build slowly becoming better and better. So instead of my Fortitude build becoming better and better at hunting/farming/buffing for a knuckle brawler build, I’ll just respec and get those things instantly taking the fun out of it.

@@banu6301 I planned to play how I did in A21 hard force getting salvager to lvl5 and you can free farm dukes. I built a full lvl2 set of scavenger armor popped one salvage bonus candy for 300 dukes and 6 minutes of farming I still got over 20k dukes

They said they were going to slow down the game because you used to be able to speed run the game with intellect and just throwing point into one skill to max out in that skill then move on. You aren’t forced into intellect you just want to complain

@@JoeVeH dude just read his comment lol. You just read the first 5 words and immediately replied to protect TFP. This is constructive criticism... try to stop eating every Old Sham Sandwich TFP throws at you Like yeah they said they slow down the progression because the intellect build was too op and they literally slowed down progression for every build BESIDE intellect. Thats what OP said in his comment

if the baton setup is unchanged, at full setup, it has insta kill for 10% + high decap chance so it would be much much better later, plus when you get stun repulser mod it just makes you invincible because no zombie can get to you

Bold of you to assume i'm gonna bother my ass to kill anything on horde night.

@@IzPrebuilt I did day 14 horde and killed 10. lol

@@IzPrebuiltJust use a shit ton of pipe bombs like a real G

Coming from someone who really enjoys Iz’s videos I wholeheartedly agree. It’s also incredibly frustrating listening to him complaining about the quests when he is intentionally ignoring the direct instructions given on each quest.

It's not pseudo- i just fucking hate the state of the game and wish they'd remove their brains from the grill of whatever Ford F150 they kissed at 100MPH and make an enjoyable gameplay experience after a decade.

wtf, are you sure you didn't just read the wasteland survivor volume that allows honey from trees 5% of the time?

Brother it’s as easy as reading. Try hating on things that are actually crap about the update instead of choosing to ignore the instructions and hating on it for the few things it’s done decently.

@@TheGiantDwarf94 First of all I am not a dude, second of all dont assume i am hating on something. I like the challenges. I was remarking on myself, not the game.

@@kizara7144 lol it was a general term, not a remark towards whatever gender you are. “So weird” certainly doesn’t make sense when you say you were remarking about yourself? That’s a comment directly about the feature, not you.

@@TheGiantDwarf94 So weird was that it had to be a specific shovel. Not mad at it, just unexpected. Sure would have helped if I read it more carefully but I didnt do that which was the comment about me taking an hour before i realized it lol

@@kizara7144 okay that makes a lot more sense. Respect for not losing it and arguing, sorry for jumping to conclusions

its more like 4x-5x drop rates. wilderness is 5% and POI stumps is like 20 or 25, can't really remember

These stumps don't count for the challenge progression.

No you don't. You need a specific skill book to find honey from trees. You can always find honey in stumps its just a low chance.

@@IzPrebuilt LOL I came back here to actually correct my comment, I figured it myself just a minute ago I had a doubt after typing that from the gym so when I came home and checked that I had it on my last save (without reading it obviously or it would be too easy) and started going crazy after hitting the 20th stump lmfao my baaad on that 😭

put a point into workbenches in intellect tab

no thats for normal trees. It's always a chance in stumps, i find one in either this or the next video

@IzPrebuilt ohh I always that you had to have the magazine first. Thanks for the info

☝ if you actually have an infection and try to find honey in stumps, unless you are really lucky it will climb over 5% before your ever find one, and require needing to find two

@@stevdor6146 I have gotten up to 40% while looking once 😅 I call that FunPimps luck.

I didn't check the prices because i'm used to how it used to work (it was broken and would always be worth combining armor and mods)

@@IzPrebuilt if the armor Quality is a 1 or 2, it was never worth modding, if the armor was Quality 4, 5, or 6; it is worth it when the mod by itself is 200, but if you attach it to a Tier 6 and increases the sell price by 500 or 600. I don't think this has changed and is still how it works, but its not 'always' just whenever the base item was blue or purple would modding coincidentally be more min-max efficient

that just sounds like bad luck - have you ever had a twenty sided die that never landed on 20?

That's usually my luck. The random loot Gods hate me. 😂 But once I get one, I seem to have better luck getting more.

The book allows it to drop from trees randomly. Stumps work that way by default.

Have you seen how many minutes it takes to kill a tourist ? xD 75 in workstations might happen sooner than killing 50 tourists

Blame the damn RU-vid member list its extremely annoying to work with. I rework the endscreen every week so I'll make sure to add you on there with the correct time as well, probably on episode 8

Yeh, I've found the issue with the members list i was using, for some reason it was filtered to only be the adventurer tier. I have fixed that now and you should find your name in the silver section of episode 8 when its out.

@@IzPrebuilt After I made the comment I figured I was not in a high enough tier for listing. Thanks for taking the time to sort it out.

Yes thats what happens when you focus your magazine loot on guns instead of the things im focussing on. I'm an intellect build... I don't *get* a gun

@@IzPrebuilt but you get junk turrets - its a trade-off

you reckon the developers changed the source of honey without telling the TFPs?

"only to you 40 hits to kill" uhm, acktually it was 18 hits, and the electric DoT finished him off mid-19th-swing so it wasn't the baton hit that killed him. the electric damage has a sort of 'bleed' effect that does damage throughout the stun animation, which lasted for at least 15 seconds, which probably would account for about 3 baton swings worth of damage.

@@stevdor6146 Nah I counted, saw 73 hits on a Biker and 170 on a Tourist. Fun Pimps need to buff them!

you make a minibike by levelling your Vehicle crafting skill by reading the Vehicle Adventures skill crafting magazine. There are 60 employees at the fun pimps but it did start as just 2 guys

@@IzPrebuilt thank you for explaining brother. but again don't you need the parts of minibike?

@@liquidbotanorama3786 you craft them out of stuff at a workbench

@@liquidbotanorama3786 getting the minibike bundle might give you the chassis, or the accessories, but you still have to unlock minibike crafting to craft the other half that you were not gifted. so it is just more reliable to wait until you unlock minibike crafting and just craft them both. its really only a very slight headstart to not have to craft both pieces.

@@stevdor6146 I see I see thank you guys
