Most vehicles now have additional seating to accommodate at least one friend. There are also new vehicle armor mods available that allow them to withstand wasteland wear-and-tear. Many vehicle mods now have a visual model update so you can see the mods you have installed.

Random World Generation Updates
Several improvements and optimizations have been made to our RWG system, making it leaner, faster, and able to create better looking worlds than ever before, with refined composition and layouts improving the overall fidelity and detail of generated worlds.
RWG Game Improvements include :
Faster Creation Time: The time required to generate new worlds has been significantly reduced.
District Density Calculation: Improved calculations for better urban planning and layout.
Biome Distribution Variants: New variants to create more diverse and interesting world biomes.
Road Smoothing: Enhanced road generation for smoother and more realistic paths.
Bigger Cities and More POIs: Approximately 50% more Points of Interest, with larger cities and more wilderness locations.
Chunk Reset: Improved chunk management and resetting for a more seamless experience.
Performance POI Placement: A new POI placement algorithm has been implemented to keep cities more performant placing lighter weight POIS around more expensive heavier weight POIS
The Burnt Forest Biome is back in newly created and Pregen RWG maps
RWG Tool Improvements Include:
New biome distribution presets include:
Biome Layout
Center Forest – Default
Center Wasteland
Circle – Biomes arranged like a pie chart
Line – Biomes arranged like a layered cake with 90° rotations i.e. Forest to the South Wasteland to the North
Burnt Forest is back!
District Colors
Light Blue = Rural
Yellow = Industrial
Blue = Commercial
Grey = Downtown
Green = Residential
Darker Colors of each above are lower density POI’s like remnants
Red = Traders
White = Wilderness
Spawn Points in the forest can be seen when zoomed into the map. They are small X’s on the country roads and are near wilderness POI’s within 1km of a trader.
New Points of Interest
In order to complement our updated RWG system, our Level Design team has added a ton of new content with over 75 new POIs that will be coming to Version 1.0.
Notable additions, improvements and efforts include:
A high focus on new remnants enhancing performance and providing more diverse environments to explore with lighter zombie counts. A majority of the remnants were created for the downtown district which was low on these types. These efforts have helped significantly with performance.
New high-tier locations have been introduced for players to explore and conquer.
Haven Hotel (Tier 5)
7 Days Suites (Tier 5)
Navezgane Athletics Complex (Tier 5)
Grover High (Tier 5)
Minotaur Theater (Tier 5)
6 – New Tier 4’s
A new zombie spawning throttling triggering system has been added to the level editor and the level designers have made use of it to keep the higher count POIS challenging but running better.
RWG Performance POI Placement: A new POI placement algorithm has been implemented to keep cities more performant placing lighter weight POIS around more expensive heavier weight POIS
New Zombie Variants and Zombie Updates
Our existing zombies didn’t get left out. Version 1.0 introduces several new zombie variants with unique outfits. Most have received several clothing, skin and hari variation options that spawn, giving large groups a more organic composition and promoting an immersive experience.
Notable additions include:
A nurse from a children’s hospital with bears on her uniform
A bowling alley-themed outfit for the fat Hawaiian zombie.
Many more variants are coming, adding fresh visual elements to the game’s undead horde.
The demolition zombie has received a complete model makeover, aligning with the newest generation of zombie models. This iconic foe now features an updated and more terrifying look.
World Lighting Graphics Update
The shader programming and technical art team have been busy adding in an overall improved lighting model that looks amazing. Improvements include:
Overall more even and consistent lighting
Over bright areas are toned down and areas that were too dark are easier to see
Details in world and character models are more noticeable
You can play now without a mining helmet or torch in dark areas
Biome Spectrums and Storm Spectrums have been reworked to give the right amount of mood but provide more consistent lighting overall
AO has been turned back on
Shadows on Grass has been turned back on
FSR has been added to the Graphics Options
AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR) uses cutting-edge open upscaling and advanced frame generation technologies to help boost your framerates in supported games and deliver amazing high-quality, high-performance gaming on virtually any hardware.
Optimizations
We have worked hard to optimize the game for all SKUs. Efforts to make the game run on the consoles has paid off. Many optimizations have been done including:
A new POI placement algorithm has been implemented to keep cities more performant placing lighter weight POIS around more expensive heavier weight POIs
A ton of lighter weight remnant POIs have been made to lighten the weight of cities and give more variety in POIs
A new zombie spawning throttling triggering system has been added to the level editor and the level designers have made use of it to keep the higher count POIS challenging but running better.
Many art assets have had reduced draw calls or simproved settings in Unity to make them run more preformant
The Cutout atlas has been removed
A new window tinting system makes window glass opaque until you get close. Occluding the interior or exterior improves performance (moderately), especially for skyscrapers.
Game updated to Unity 2022 LTS with better Vulkan and DX12 support (Note: DX12 performance seems worse than DX11)
New lighting update manager
Ambient occlusion better handles large amounts of props
Block entities (props) spawn over multiple frames
Massive Progression Update
We have given a lot of attention to overall progression and balance in version 1.0. Here are some of the more notable improvements:
Traders give less dukes and have nerfed rewards that no longer break progression.
Trader inventories offer sales staged items for sale that are more appropriate for your character’s level.
The game is a little more crafting oriented than in the past, and legendary items are now craftable.
The end result is the game feels much more balanced and even in a coop team players will find themselves still engaged on day 70, single players even further.
Crafting
Quality 6 crafting is back
Tools/Weapons/Armor
Requires new Legendary Parts
Traders/Biome order
Rekt – Forest
Jen – Burnt
Bob – Desert
Hugh – Snow

We have added new Legendary Parts which can be acquired in high end loot chests, and higher Trader rewards
With these player can craft Legendary Q6 weapons, tools, and armor
Dew Collector Overhaul
The Dew Collector has been reworked. It now supports 3 workstation tools, one of which is a water filter. This change makes the Dew Collector available early in game, but it collects murky water without having the filter installed.
Enhanced Gore System
Along with the new Zombie variants comes the new and improved Dismemberment Gore System, ensuring consistent dismemberment across zombie types, and as a bonus, there are also brand-new blood splatter particles to complete the visceral experience of combat.
With Version 1.0, the entire zombie lineup has been upgraded with new gore pieces, including a complete overhaul of recently updated zombies from past Alphas. This ensures all zombies are consistent with the latest technology, enhancing the game’s visual impact and immersion.
Updated Road Decals
Say goodbye to one of our last remaining legacy assets, our original Road Decals. They’ve been revamped, giving them a modern face-lift to help make the roads and lots of Navezgane County feel more lived in and legitimate.
Players can now enjoy enhanced realism with updated road decals, featuring more detailed and immersive trash and debris scattered on the roads. This update adds another layer of authenticity to the game environment, making the post-apocalyptic world feel more lived-in and engaging.
Twitch Integration Update
The latest update introduces exciting new features for Twitch integration:
Small Zombies: A new command that shrinks down the size of zombies, adding a fun and challenging twist to gameplay.
On Screen Extension: Interactive Twitch features are now displayed directly on screen, enhancing the viewer and streamer experience.
These features provide more interactive and engaging content for both players and their audiences.
New World Borders
The game now features layered world borders, replacing the old radiation zones. The very outer layer is a no-go zone, preventing players from walking off the map. Just inside this is a no-build zone, ensuring players cannot build too close to the edge. As players approach the border, the area fogs up, providing a clear visual cue. This system allows more Points of Interest (POIs) to spawn near the map’s edges, increasing the playable area while communicating to the player you can’t go that way.
New Upgradeable Player Chests
Introducing player writeable storage boxes! Start with a basic wooden box, which can be upgraded to iron, and eventually to steel. Each upgrade increases the storage capacity, providing more space for your items. Additionally, these chests feature writeable areas that display custom text, allowing for easy organization and labeling of your stored goods. Up to three lines of copy can be added. Happy chest placing, survivors!
Environment Art Update
The environment team has been busy with many new art updates that will further immerse you for 1.0 experience including:
New movie theater seats, new soda and drink vending machines, new TV studio camera, new mini beverage coolers, new food and candy posters, new retro electric and gas signs, new neon signs, new camping tents, new chemistry set, new modular iron wrought fence set with destructive states.

Last but not least, a major optimization pass on almost all of the environmental art props to get ready for console. Including shader and texture optimizations, as well as mesh optimizations to improve game performance.
Block Shape Updates
The environment Art team has been busy with many new block shapes to build with. 162 new shapes added to fill in missing shapes to roofs, railings, poles, stairs, and many more. A few notable ones include:
Wedge Stairs Railing Left, Right, Tip Left, and Tip Right
Wedge Stairs Railing Metal Left, Right, Tip Left, and Tip Right
6m and 8m long ramp sets

Don’t worry your favorites Trader Rekt and Trader Jen still have the same actors but all new lines and new functionality. New functionality includes:
All traders now have their own unique voice
Traders have more than 200 lines each with story bits and strong hints to relations between traders

Gamepad Improvements
A ton of work has gone into improving Gamepad Support to make it control better, more intuitive and have native console features including:
New UI navigation system that removes the virtual cursor
Overhauled modern camera controls that are easier to use and can be extensively customized
New aim assist systems for gamepads to aid with quicker targeting when aiming a weapon or swinging a melee weapon, and slowing the camera when passing over small interactable objects

Separated X and Y camera sensitivity
Look acceleration
Deadzone adjustments
Rumble strength
Aim assist toggle
Full gamepad remapping support for on foot and vehicle controls

Support for DualSense controller features including:
Track time of day, weather and blood moons on the light bar
Trigger effects when using certain items and weapons
Modding Notes
Game updated to Unity 2022.3.29f1
Updated HarmonyX to 2.13.0
ModInfo: Now requires ModInfo in V2 format, also properties “Name” and “DisplayName” no longer optional as announced in Alpha 21
XML parsing now supports “conditional” blocks:
Allows switching between different XML blocks based on conditions like game version, whether a certain mod is loaded etc
Can be evaluated once by the host when loading the XMLs so host and every client will have the same resulting XML or by each game instance separately, so that host and every client can have different effects, e.g. when based on a GamePref
Also supported on the top level of patch XMLs: These are always applied during XML loading
Detailed documentation will be added to the game’s wiki
XML patches now feature a new instruction “include” which allows including another XML in place, e.g. to split up large XMLs into smaller pieces or – combined with the usage of conditional blocks – include different XML based on other conditions
New XML “events.xml”: Allows defining date based events (like christmas, halloween etc) and use them with conditional XML blocks – have the pipe baton automatically use a candy cane shiv model during christmas season or pumpkins use a halloween based model during that time
Z-Selection box for POI or world building now shows the current selection size
Updated POI properties windows to reflect the current POI features
Debugging:
Debug views (F3) now remember the selected elements
CVar filter box can no longer have the input focus when the mouse cursor is not enabled – avoids accidentally overwriting your filter while running around
FPS graph and network monitor available in releases
Game assembly gets fully publicized members for easier code modding – each member that has changed access level gets an attribute “PublicizedFrom” attached that will tell you the original accessibility level. Accessing originally not public stuff is still meant to be a last resort if other approaches fail.
New BlockCompositeTileEntity with respective TileEntityComposite
This is a generic TileEntity (TE) block which allows selecting which features it should have from XML (“compositing”)
Currently these features are supported:
Lockable: The TE can be locked
LockPickable: Players can pick the lock on the TE (only usable in combination with Lockable)
Signable: The TE can be written on. The prefab used for the TE will have to have properly set up TextMeshes – at least one but it supports as many as desired
Storage: The TE will have container features
These TE properly support up/downgrading, so for example a block that has Signable can upgrade to a block that supports Storage and Signable and keep its text
Adding new features does not require enumeration modifications so should be easier going forward to add custom TE features from mods
Example usage of these features can be seen on the new player storage blocks “cntWoodWritableCrate” and similar
File lookup prioritizes files in user data (e.g. LocalPrefabs) over mods
New game argument “-newprefabsmod=somemod” allows defining a mod in which new prefabs get stored instead of going to “LocalPrefabs”. Mod name is given by its internal name from its “ModInfo.xml”, not the folder name
XUi changes:
Generic “repeat_content” attribute support for all views. For non-grid views the attribute “repeat_count” specifies the number of clones
Repeated elements automatically get fed with additional template parameters that can be used with template bindings (“${…}”):
For every parent view: “repeat_count” giving the number of elements as specified by “repeat_count” attribute and “repeat_i” incrementing by one for each created element, starting at 0
Additionally for grid views only: “repeat_col” and “repeat_row” giving the column and row the element will be in the grid – assuming the grid dimensions do not change later on
New attribute “disabled_tooltip_key” lets you define a tooltip that gets shown when hovering a disabled view
New attribute “force_hide” allows keeping a view invisible
New attributes for controller navigation:
“use_selection_box”: Should controller navigation show an outline around the selected view
“gamepad_selectable”: View can be selected with a controller
“nav_up”, “nav_down”, “nav_left”, “nav_right”: Manual override which view to select when pressing the respective direction on a controller
Texture views now support: Color tinting (“color” attribute) and for keeping the texture’s aspect ratio (attribute “original_aspect_ratio”)
XML “extends” now allow excluding specified subclasses (like “UpgradeBlock” in blocks) so that all its children are actually excluded
Changes to quests should no longer kill savegames’ character files – though the affected quests will lose their details in the quest log
Plants tick correctly when placed on the same position as another plant was growing before – before the timer would potentially not reset thus accumulating the old and new growth times
Perks can now have LevelRequirements for individual levels only instead of being required to be specified for all levels if done for at least one
“Inventory.PUBLIC_SLOTS” is changed to be targeted by mods, making it easier to implement custom toolbelt sizes. Also a new property “SHIFT_KEY_SLOT_OFFSET” has been added that allows specifying which slots are meant to be targeted when using Shift + slot hotkey
World Editor: Previews of POI now match the actual state when rotating them
TFP News Screen
We have moved the old shared menu news screen into a new skippable in-game News screen that has graphics and link support for all formats. This will be used to inform players on new patch updates and other TFP news.
Server Administration
Changes to serverconfig.xml:
Setting “SaveGameFolder” has been removed. It is now always based on the “UserDataFolder”
New setting “IgnoreEOSSanctions”: Allows ignoring EOS sanctions when players want to join servers. Defaults to false
New setting “QuestProgressionDailyLimit”: Limits the number of quests that contribute to quest tier progression a player can complete each day. Quests after the limit can still be completed for rewards. Defaults to 3
Web Dashboard
Complete control over server permissions (user levels, command permissions, web permissions etc)
Lots of small fixes and improvements to the frontend

Hey Survivors, We are pleased to announce that 7 Days to Die 1.0 Streamer Weekend Event will begin: THIS FRIDAY, June 21st at 12 PM CST. Fans will have a wealth of options to see all the new features & content of 1.0:
3 days of streaming
Over 290 streamers
30 countries represented
16 languages spoken
Many will be streaming all weekend, and are even giving away free keys to the game! Check their channels for their upcoming weekend schedules.
Note: Thank you to everyone who applied. We are no longer accepting applications for Streamer Weekend.
Our thanks to everyone who will stream, everyone who will watch, and all fans of the game new and old. We appreciate your patience and support as we prepare to finally roll out 1.0!
V1.0 Experimental will be released to the public on June 24th.
The Fun Pimps are happy to announce 7 Days is leaving Early Access! With the launch of the next update, we’re moving officially to 1.0 for 7 Days to Die.
TFP Co-Founder Richard Huenink details the move in this Video. He’ll talk about our decision to leave early access, the tentative launch dates for PC and Console Alpha 22 (Now 1.0), the roadmap of planned future updates and features ahead for all platforms, and the games new pricing.
Have more questions? Look at our comprehensive FAQ below!
ALPHA EXODUS FAQ
1.0 LAUNCH
Q: Why release now? A: We have been developing 7 Days fornearly 12 years and have had over twenty large scale early access releases that have brought the game to a significantly different place and quality than where it began. Our team feels satisfied with our efforts, especially with the significant overall progress, art quality and optimizations that have gone into the current release slated for all PC and Consoles and are ready for launch. We are now turning our focus to other ways we can support ALL versions of the game – through our planned roadmap, free updates, and beyond! The Fun Pimps have and will continue to support 7 Days to Die development with a majority of their resources.
Q: Why are some features in the road map? A: We have put significant work into these systems but some still have a ways to go to be ready for prime time. Rather than keep 7 Days to Die in further Alphas, we think it’s time to leave early access and officially announce our 1.0 launch, future plans and commit to the deadlines on these features. With that said, supporting and keeping parity with PC, PS5, and Xbox X/S Series will be our top priority.
Q: So what does this mean for A22 and other Alpha builds? A: Alpha build updates that were detailed or talked about prior to this news are going to become the major planned updates shown in the road map. The naming convention will reset to “Version 1.0” and so forth.
Q: Will there still be early release/experimental builds? A: Yes, we still release experimental builds on Steam before going stable. Stable releases will go to console and other PC markets after they are ready.
Q: Will I still be able to access older alphas of the game? A: Yes we will continue to support this on Steam as the Steam policies permit. This will not be a feature in other platforms.
Q: What about the Kickstarter stretch goals? A: We’re working on completing all stretch goals. As mentioned in the Kickstarter, some of these features will come post-launch. We are focused on ensuring all Kickstarter backers will receive the promised content.
Q: What was the 7 Days to Die “Apocalypse Edition”? A: This was a tentative name we were considering for the console 1.0 release of the game. But, after working with Microsoft and Sony, we thought the best way to avoid brand confusion was to call it the console edition. We are scrapping “Apocalypse Edition” at this time to hopefully avoid confusion.
Q: Is there a roadmap for post-release? A: Yes! You can view it below. Once 1.0 Launches, we’ll be updating the image with a more detailed look at what’s coming and when.
PRICE CHANGE
Q: Will there be a price raise? A: Yes, at launch of 1.0 stable the standard retail price of the game from that point forward will increase to $44.99 on all platforms and storefronts. We are offering a major Last Chance weeklong deal sale on Steam from April 22 to April 29, 2024 so that people will have one last chance to get the game before the price increases.
Q: What will the price increase mean for my current PC/Steam copy of 7 Days to Die? A: Absolutely nothing! Your PC/Steam copy of 7 Days to Die is still yours, and nothing will change besides it coming out of early access with a large free update and all future free updates. We appreciate your early and continued support of our title, and hope you enjoy the full launch.
Users who did not purchase the title before the pricing increase will, of course, have to buy the game at the new retail price point (or during any of our discount periods on Steam in the future!)
Q: Why increase the cost? A: We feel as though the quality standard of the game has gone up significantly from when the initial price was set over 8 years ago along with over a decade of content and improvements. We’ve looked at how others have handled leaving early access, and this is a common practice. We in particular want the price of the PC version to have parity with the Console version. We do not wish to force any current users to spend more money to play the game they’ve always supported. However, new users should see the value the game offers reflected in the cost, and we hope that continued support might fund future endeavors in expanding the 7 Days to Die game even further – DLCs, Expansions, and continued free updates (including everything listed in the Road Map)!
CONSOLE VERSION
Q: What does 1.0 Mean for a Console Release? A: We are pleased to announce that 1.0 will be the version that the console launches on. While we currently are working out the exact release date, we’re aiming for it to release only a few weeks after the launch of PC 1.0 Stable.
Q: Will the Console Version have Crossplay? A: While it will not be ready for the 1.0 Release, we are pleased to report that Crossplay connections already work with PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. However, we are waiting for certification approval with Microsoft and Sony. We intend to have more information in the future, and hope for it to be released with Update 1’s launch (tentatively scheduled for Q4 2024).
Q: What about the old Console version? A: Due to the significant technical differences between old and current console hardware, we will not be upgrading the legacy version. Legacy owners will have to buy the new title. However, we are working closely with Sony and Microsoft to provide a discount to digital legacy owners on their purchase of the new console edition.
We made the decision early on to focus on a ‘new’ version of the game that is unified with our PC version, and our efforts to update the game post-launch will be entirely focused on that version.
Q: What about the old Console version’s availability? A: Due to product and branding confusion, we will be delisting the legacy console version from digital storefronts when the new version releases. You will still be able to play your old copy if you own it, but no future purchases of the legacy edition will be possible.
Q: Will I be able to use my old saves on the new version? A: No. You will, of course, be able to continue to use your old saves on the Legacy version if it is installed, but saves will not carry over as they are not compatible with the numerous new changes.
Q: Will the new Console Edition get the same updates this time? A: Yes! Our plan is to give the console edition owners every free update that the PC version gets, keeping parity with PC for Crossplay. If a feature is not technically possible due to hardware restrictions, or is otherwise restricted by certification requirements set by Microsoft or Sony, it will not make it to the console edition. We will outline any future updates if they will be limited or not make it to the console edition.
Q: Will the Console Edition get modding support? A: We are discussing this, but there are no concrete plans yet. We are looking into how this might be achieved while maintaining performance on the console edition.
Q: Will the Console Edition support local splitscreen? A: No. Due to technical limitations and memory restrictions, this feature is not currently possible on the Console Edition.
Q: Are there any plans for future consoles/ports? A: We have no plans to announce at this time. We are still looking into other platforms.
Q: Will there be a physical edition of the game? A: At launch, the game will be digital only.We have no plans to announce at this time, but may look into this in the future.
Q: Will there be any limitations or differences between Console Edition and PC on launch? A: Console Edition will have some limitations, including:
Random Gen: The Console Edition will launch with a collection of pregenerated maps and the Navezgane experience. However, Random Gen will come in a patch soon after launch.
Level/Prefab Editor and World Editor: The console edition will not launch with the level or world editor..
Internet Connection/Server Connection: At launch, the console edition will be restricted to peer-to-peer games on the same platform. As mentioned in the Crossplay section above, we intend to release Crossplay in Update 1, barring any certification requirements or technical hurdles.
Other Differences: There will be a document in the future that details any other specific differences in performance, online capabilities, hosting features and more.
UPDATE (4/22):
Q: What does this mean for Gamepass? A: 7 Days to Die will be leaving Gamepass by the end of April. At this time, there are no plans to enter back into Gamepass. However, we are exploring all future avenues with Microsoft.
Q: Save incompatibility between console versions? Also, will there still be Save incompatibility between patches? A: Due to the technical architecture of 7 Days to Die’s game engine, users will have to start a new game with each major update. Eventually, this will not be the case.
Thank You from All The Fun Pimps
7 Days to Die has been an incredible journey for our Team over the last 12 years, and for our fans who have been with us since the beginning. This game would not be possible without the continued support of our incredible community who have stood by us for over a decade, and we thank you all for that.
We will continue to support 7 Days to Die, because this game is still our team’s greatest passion. TFP will continue to make content, add new features and grow this Franchise… because it’s our favorite game too! We look forward to a bright future with many exciting releases!
Thank you for all of the support you have given us over the years!
The Mischief Maker Twitch Extension has been monetized by Mischief Maker in a way that is non-compliant with our EULA and therefore results in a copyright infringement of 7 Days to Die by those who use the extension and by Mischief Maker.
Mischief Maker received written legal notice of the copyright infringement and EULA non-compliance several days before Fun Pimps took action to take down infringing streams using the Mischief Maker Extension.
Anyone who streams through Twitch using the illegal Mischief Maker Extension will be risking a DMCA takedown as well.
The Fun Pimps have always welcomed Mods to 7 Days to Die that do not illegally monetize the game and will continue to permit streaming or video creation on any platform that does not violate our EULA.
Hey Survivors, We are proud to announce that the ‘Alpha 21 Streamer Weekend’ is finally here. We have partnered with over 190 streamers from 34 countries.
We will be running the Streamer Weekend event from Friday, June 9th starting at 12 pm CST through Sunday, June 11th. Expect a public experimental to follow sometime Monday afternoon June 12th.
Many will be streaming all weekend and giving away Free Game Keys. Check their channels for their upcoming weekend schedules. These are being broadcast in many languages so scroll down to find yours.
It has been a while since our last major release, December 2021 to be exact. For a year and a half, our growing team has been working hard to bring you Alpha 21. This Alpha delivers more polish, optimizations, updates, quality-of-life improvements, new content, new features, and new gameplay systems than ever before. We say it every Alpha, and we will say it again, this is the biggest and baddest version of the game to date.
If you have never played 7 Days to Die or you have not played it for a while, you’re going to want to check out Alpha 21. Pushing hard towards the Gold Version, this impressive mountain of work could only be achieved by the lengthy, iterative, development style we have gone through. The Fun Pimps dream big and know that nothing of this magnitude comes overnight. Building on an already solid foundation, this update sets the bar even higher for the sandbox, survival, simulation, RPG game genre.
We are very proud of the work, passion, and dedication our team has poured into 7 Days to Die and we hope you enjoy Alpha 21 as much as we have.
Please find our Announcement for A21 Experimental and bug report instructions here.

New Doors
Introducing an exciting range of new doors, including the much-anticipated double doors! These numerous additions bring a level of detail to in-game locations that were previously unimaginable. Moreover, players can now enjoy updated craftable door options, expanding their repertoire of door types to choose from. As an innovative feature, doors gradually deteriorate as they sustain damage, resulting in visible holes that can be utilized for shooting or melee attacks. Be cautious, though, as certain doors may develop holes large enough to pass through without being completely destroyed. Exercise caution and strategize accordingly!
Loot Container Changes
When emptied, smaller containers such as trash bags, backpacks, and bird nests will now be destroyed. On the other hand, larger containers like clothing racks, desks, filing cabinets, and gun safes will transition to an open state once they have been emptied. This update brings a more realistic and immersive experience, as players can observe the visual representation of empty containers while navigating the game world.
World Water
We’ve made visual improvements to prevent water from clipping through semi-solid block shapes, such as thin or rounded wall segments. Under the hood we’ve overhauled water simulation to improve performance, reduce networking traffic, and provide more consistent and natural flow behavior, particularly with respect to large bodies of water such as lakes and rivers.
Hazards
The game has received an exciting update with the addition of a hazard system. This latest release introduces flame hazards that must be deactivated within specific locations in order to advance on your path. While active, these hazards will unleash intense fire damage upon anyone or anything that dares to approach too closely.
Gore
More zombies now utilize the new gore system.
New & Overhauled Locations
Every Point of Interest (POI) in the game has been improved with the massive amount of new art props and 692 new shapes added to Alpha 21. It is a complete overhaul of the art and gameplay experienced in each location.
All Trader locations have been entirely reworked with custom art
There are over 75+ pure new questable POIs
Most POIs (Nearly 400) now support the new Infestation Quest type
New parts & RWG features – Roadside POI spawns
Navezgane has gotten a quite a bit of updates
Terrain updates
New POIs added
perishton_city_blk_01 through 05 (Overhauled Tiles)
perishton_city_blk_06 (New Tile)
perishton_tunnel_01 & 02 (New Remnant)
departure_city_blk_plaza (Overhauled Remnant)
More than 200 POIs have been added or completely overhauled. And every POI in the game has been updated with new Art and Shapes: Some notable POIs include:
Tier 5 POI’s
apartments_02 – “Vanity Tower” (New)
factory_01 – “Shamway Factory” (Overhauled)
house_modern_23 “Dr. Karen Higashi Residence” (Overhauled to Tier 5)
hospital_01 (Overhauled)
installation_red_mesa (Overhauled to Tier 5)
nursing_home_01 – “The Last Sunset Nursing Home” (New)

prison_02 – “Navezgane County Jail” (New)
Tier 4 POI’s
bowling_alley_01 “Pineballs Bowling” (New)
downtown_strip_04 – “Joe’s Junction” (Overhauled to Tier 4)

wilderness_filler_05 “Hermit Hollow” (New Filler)
wilderness_filler_06 “Overturned Trailer” (New Filler)
wilderness_filler_07 “The Last Cook” (New Filler)
wilderness_filler_08 “Lost Soldiers” (New Filler)
wilderness_filler_09 “Flesh Feast Falls” (New Filler)
wilderness_filler_10 “The Mush Pit” (New Filler)
wilderness_filler_11 “Pump Substation” (New Filler)
POI and Biome Difficulty Improvements
When you enter a POI, a HUD pop up will display its name and difficulty tier which is represented by the number of red skulls. These POI names will also appear on the quest text at the trader.
When you enter a Biome, you will see the biome difficulty represented by the number of orange skulls.
Forest – 0
Burnt (Navezgane Only) – 0.5
Desert – 1
Snow – 1.5
Wasteland – 2
The overall difficulty of the POI and Biome is represented by the number of Red and Orange skulls combined.
With this in mind, the same POI in the wasteland will be more difficult and have higher game staged enemies and loot than the same POI in the forest.
We also have fixed a bug with party game staging. Parties now work as designed and have balanced game staging to provide a better scaled challenge.
POI Localization
Points of interest (POIs) have undergone localization, receiving easily understandable and relatable names. These new names are not only incorporated into the quest system, but are also displayed on the upper right corner of the screen, above the Quest and Recipe Tracker.
Furthermore, if you backed the Kickstarter campaign and pledged for location naming, you will now have the privilege of having a POI named after you.
Infestation Quests
We have added a new quest type we call Infestation which starts at Tier 2. The system takes a supported POI and adds a +1 to its Tier. In an Infestation Quest, the zombie counts are multiplied to create a greater challenge. At the end, it will reward you with a special loot box, almost always found in the loot room. This left Tier 5 POIs with infestation in a bit of a pickle. Tier 5 POIs as an Infestation Quest, can now be found as Tier 6 difficulty POIs.
Random World Generation Update
Random World Generation (RWG) has gone through the biggest iterative updates to date. We have learned something from every previous version we have done so far. It’s not easy to create something nobody has done before, but we are committed to creating Random Generated Worlds better than anyone on the planet and we think you will agree when you play the latest Alpha 21 Random Gen.
The latest release focuses on improving RWG speed, visuals, POI placement, and adding new features to enhance the player experience and addressing several bugs.
Many notable improvements include:
RWG creation speed has been greatly improved. Generation speeds up to 4 to 5 times faster than before have been seen in some cases.
Merging highways between gateway tiles and township rural tiles has been added
A new scoring system for prefab pick ordering, xml entries to help control overall placement, spawn weights, and min max counts ensure POI’s don’t repeat too often.
Country Tiles have been added which give the rural areas more believable surrounds for POIS to spawn
Road smoothing has been greatly improved.
A new street tile system that uses an overworld grid to allow for more concise placement of wilderness, towns, and highways.
A “New Game” button has been added to the Advanced Generation screen to allow players to immediately play the map they have generated without having to remember the map name.
Chunk Reset System
We’ve added a new advanced game option called “Chunk Reset Time”. Enabling this setting will cause chunks to be reset to their original states when left unvisited for a specified in-game duration. Land claims, bedrolls, and other important player-owned objects such as backpacks and vehicles will prevent nearby chunks from being reset; so you don’t have to worry about your home base disappearing, or logging in to find your 4×4 exchanged for a tree which regrew in its place. However, loot containers and workstations which are not within a protected area can be reset, so players who use this feature must be mindful of where they store their valuables.
In effect, this feature allows previously-visited locations to respawn their loot and recover from destruction whilst the player is away. It also helps to reduce save sizes by clearing out stored data for the reset chunks until they’re revisited.
The setting is disabled by default, but can be configured at will in the Advanced tab of the New Game and Continue Game menus.
Survival Rebalance
To enhance the survival experience, water collection has been rebalanced by removing empty jars and cans.
Boiled water now requires a cooking pot to craft in the campfire.
Most “clean” water and drinks have been extremely lowered in loot.
A new Dew Collector workstation has been added to provide clean drinking water.
Crafted in the player backpack, players will need to visit a trader to obtain a key component: a water filter.
Water is slowly accumulated over time at a rate of approximately 3 jars every 24 game hours.
Players can place multiple Dew Collectors
DewCollectors must have a clear view of the sky.
Bars and other “see-through” shapes are acceptable to be placed above.
Drink Vending machines have had quantities increased including specialized drinks.
Due to water used in crafting, glue has been increased in loot, quest rewards, and trader inventories.
Crafting Skills System
Crafting unlocks have been moved out of the Perks System and into a new Crafting Skills System. Players will need to read various quantities of Crafting Skill Magazines in order to progress through the crafting tiers. These magazines are found in loot containers, zombie loot bags, air drops, given as quest rewards, or sold by the traders.
The Crafting Skills System solves two issues: 1. Players won’t be able to skip the progression of tool and weapon tiers.
Previously, players could max out a perk’s crafting quality unlock with primitive tools and weapons and then instantly craft higher tiers once the materials were found or unlocked. A good example of this would be a stone ax that could be crafted at quality 5, but then iron and steel pickaxes could be crafted at that same quality level.
2. Removes the crafting unlocks from perk classes
Players are no longer required to perk into various classes to obtain the unlocks. All crafting skills can be unlocked by all players.
The unlocks are removed from perks, however, each level of a perk will give a probability boost to certain magazines. An example would be the perk Boomstick giving a boost to finding more of the Shotgun Weekly magazines. Boomstick will also boost shotguns, shotgun parts, and the various types of shotgun ammo found in loot.
Perk Overhaul
With crafting unlocks moving to the new Crafting Skills System, perks have been overhauled to be more streamlined for each class.
Sexual Tyrannosaurus has been moved to each weapon perk. Players no longer have to perk into Strength to get the stamina benefits of ole Sexy T. Want better stamina with clubs? Put perk points into Pummel Pete and keep from getting winded too soon.
Flurry of Blows has been moved into each Attribute as a new perk.
Perception: Quick and Perceptive – Increases the attack speed of spears
Strength: Big and Fast – Increases the attack speed of clubs and sledges
Fortitude: Lightning Hands – Increases the attack speed of fists and fist weapons
Agility: Whirlwind – Increases the attack speed of knives
Intellect: Calculated Attack – Increases the attack speed of batons
Physician perk has gained the ability to treat sprains and give more XP when using healing items. Dismemberment gets a boost with batons on level 4 while level 5 has a chance to instantly kill the target with a stun baton.
Master Chef allows players to cook faster with each level.
Lock Picking moved to Intellect
Grease Monkey grants the ability to use fewer repair kits when repairing vehicles
Zombies and animals are now killed nearly instantly when hit by a vehicle, but the vehicle takes more damage than previous versions.
Vehicles also take more damage when hitting objects or taking hard landings.
Perk Book Reworks
Spear Hunter Vol 3 changed from Steel Spear Unlock to Bleeding Damage
Spears have a 25% chance to cause bleeding damage.
Spear Hunter Vol 4 changed from Strong Arm to Kill Move
Power attacks do 50% more damage to downed targets.
Spear Hunter Vol 6 changed from Punctured Lung to Penetrating Shaft
Power attacks now penetrate and damage multiple enemies.
Spear Hunter Complete
Primal Kill: Kills with spears refill your stamina.
Automatic Weapons Vol 7 changed from M60 Unlock to Hip Fire
Aiming from the hip with greater accuracy can save your ass in close quarters situations.
Batter Up Vol 2 changed from Gear to Stealing Bases
Sprinting with a club drawn in combat uses 20% less stamina.
Batter Up Vol 6 changed from Bat Unlock to Foul Balls
Power attacks with clubs have a 20% chance to ragdoll enemies.
The Great Heist Vol 3 changed from Timed Charges Unlock to Gold Rush
Find 10% more dukes and old cash
The Great Heist Complete
Find 20% more lockpicks in loot
Art of Mining Vol 7 changed from Mining Helmet Unlock to Damage
Mining tools do 10% more block damage.
Perception and Spear Overhaul
It is mind blowing how powerful Rifles are now…literally. Pop zombie heads with ease with a boost to head shots when using the pipe, hunting, lever action, and sniper rifles.
The spear has gotten a rework. After much consideration, we decided to make it work like other weapons and exchanged the throw for a power attack. This makes the spear a much better sneak attack weapon and players do not have to worry about losing their fully modded spear when thrown. With the new door damage, spears are the best melee weapons for poking through the holes into pesky zombie heads.
Recipe Tracker
Having trouble remembering that recipe? Well, in Alpha 21, players can track recipes while out collecting resources. Items are tracked in a list shown in the upper right hand side of the screen. When the correct quantities are collected, the items will be highlighted in green. When all items are collected, a tool belt message will appear letting you know the item can be crafted.
Crafting Quality Selection
It’s likely that you’ve encountered a common problem: after gathering the necessary materials and components to craft your tool or weapon, you’ve invested additional points into the relevant skill, only to discover that the newly unlocked quality requires more materials than you currently possess. However, this predicament is no longer a concern, as you now have the ability to choose the desired quality of the crafted item, granting you control over the amount of materials invested.
Loot Balancing
Considerable attention has been devoted to achieving balance in various aspects of the game. This includes fine-tuning the availability of food and water, ensuring quest rewards are appropriately balanced, refining trader inventories to offer a fair selection of items, and the distribution of crafting skill magazines.
Starter Quest
The introductory quest has undergone simplification to provide a step-by-step breakdown of the initial stages of the game. Through user-friendly instructions and onscreen assistance, both novice players and seasoned veterans will be effortlessly guided to swiftly accomplish the initial milestones of their gaming experience.
HUD-less Mode
For those looking for a more immersive gameplay, players can now hide the HUD by pressing F7 one time. This mode will now allow players to remove the HUD, but still be able to interact with doors, loot containers, vehicles, and more. Pressing F7 again will change to “picture” mode that hides ALL HUD elements. Pressing F7 a third time will go back to default.
Spawn Near Backpack
In this latest update, an exciting new feature has been introduced for respawning after death. With an active bedroll, players now have the choice to respawn in close proximity to the location where their backpack is found. This convenient option enables players to swiftly retrieve their lost loot without the need to place a new bedroll, as the primary purpose of bedrolls was not originally intended for this particular function.
Vehicle Damage
Vehicle collisions take more damage, but also cause more damage, so repair kits are more relevant to game play.
Repair kits repair a fixed amount of damage instead of all vehicle damage
New blood splatter when hitting entities
Improved ragdoll hits and can cause dismemberment on hit entities
Additional spark effects when hitting blocks
Improved block collision damage calculations
Wandering Hordes
To promote engagement and encourage players to confront wandering hordes, we have implemented an increase in the chances of loot bags dropping from these encounters. This adjustment aims to incentivize players to actively engage with wandering hordes instead of allowing them to pass by without engagement. Furthermore, an additional improvement ensures that wandering hordes will no longer occur just before the commencement of your blood moon event, providing a more balanced and predictable gameplay experience.
Twitch Extension
We’ve added a new Twitch extension to allow viewers to interact with the streamer without cluttering up the chat. This allowed for the addition of more advanced actions that cost Bits. We’ve also added Presets to customize your integration experience. Custom Events have also been added for Twitch events such as Subs, Gifting Subs, Raids, Hype Trains, and Channel Point Redeems.
Performance & Optimizations
Unity version update
Window block optimizations
All Windows have been converted to shapes which are more performant.
Full windows downgrade to broken.
Broken and Empty windows upgrade to Full.
Only Full windows can upgrade material.
Improved prop LOD transition values by adding LOD categories so similar props cross fade at the same distances. They also cull at more relevant distances which improves performance.
Trees (adjustments to meshes and settings for better performance)
AI can handle more zombies by throttling their activity based on distance to player
AI pathing can handle many more paths per second
Less memory use
A variety of other small performance optimizations
Networking Improvements
Greatly reduced network traffic
Entities have variable update rate based on distance
There have been a number of improvements and optimizations made for a smoother multiplayer experience. Character animations and ragdolls now sync smoothly while behind the scenes many optimizations have been made to create a more in-sync experience while also greatly reducing the overall network traffic while playing. This includes a new prioritization system that can increase the rate of server updates for specific entities based on their proximity to players.
Server Administration and Multiplayer
WebDashboard
The old Web control panel for the server has been removed in favor of a new Web Dashboard. This is the first step of bringing over what has previously been known as Allocs Server Fixes, providing Web based APIs for interacting with the server as well as a browser interface to those features. Compared to the old mod this interface currently lacks all of the APIs that provide information on players.
This new Web Dashboard is currently provided as a mod shipped with the dedicated server version in order to be able to speed up iteration times independently of the actual game releases when improvements are made or fixes integrated.
If you were previously using the control panel to automate server tasks you will need to switch over to the new API system:
Normally you define API tokens in the serveradmin.xml or via the ‘webtokens’ command, but you can also define one API token on the command line with the ‘-webapitokenname=x’ and ‘-webapitokensecret=y’ arguments which will define a single token with permission level 0
The API endpoint to issue commands is ‘/api/command’. The token name and secret need to be passed as HTTP headers ‘X-SDTD-API-TOKENNAME’ and ‘X-SDTD-API-SECRET’. The request needs to use the POST method and contain a JSON body consisting of ‘{“command”: “command to execute”}’
There are new config options related to the dashboard:
‘WebDashboardEnabled’ toggles the whole system on or off
‘WebDashboardPort’ specifies the TCP port to run the interface on
‘WebDashboardUrl’ should contain the full URL that points to the dashboard, e.g. to a reverse proxy forwarding to the internal dashboard, like ‘https://proxydomain:8000/’. If the server can be reached with its public IP directly this value can be left empty
‘EnableMapRendering’ decides whether the game renders the map tiles to corresponding images that can be seen on the Web Dashboard or used with other tools to get a full view of the discovered game map.
Mumble Positional Audio
Alpha 21 brings support for Mumble’s Positional Audio feature. This means once it is enabled in the game audio settings and in your Mumble client you can play with your friends and hear in which direction they are from your view and get to hear them louder or quieter depending on their distance. Detailed setup instructions can be found on this Wiki page.
Other changes
Now allows changing gamepref ServerPassword during an active server session with the SetGamepref console command
Added “teleportpoirelative” / “tppr” command to teleport to relative coordinates inside the current POI
UserDataFolder and SaveGameFolder now allow paths relative to the game files root (like “MyData/Saves” would refer to the “<game root>/MyData/Saves”)
Added: ‘WebDashboardEnabled’, ‘WebDashboardPort’, ‘WebDashboardUrl’, ‘EnableMapRendering’ (see text above)
Added: ‘AllowSpawnNearBackpack’ – lets players choose to spawn near their backpack on death if enabled
Added: ‘MaxQueuedMeshLayers’ – Memory vs chunk generation time tradeoff
Changed: ‘AirDropMarker’ defaults to enabled now
Changed: ‘DynamicMeshLandClaimOnly’ defaults to true now
Added: ‘MaxChunkAge’ and ‘SaveDataLimit’ (see section on the new Chunk Reset System)
Modding Notes
Game updated to Unity 2021.3.19
Updated HarmonyX to 2.10.0
Added a popup to the main menu when mods with custom code were found during loading but EAC is active
Added support for ModInfo format v2. It is recommended to migrate mods to use that format as this will be a requirement later on. Format specification
Support for new XML patch operation “csv”:
Manipulate elements like tags
Requires attribute “op” being either “Add” or “Remove”
Optional attribute “delim” containing a single character. If not specified defaults to comma “,”. Has to match the delimiter used in the list you want to patch
Text of the element specifies the value(s) to add or remove, separated by the same delimiter specified
Remove supports wildcard in the beginning and/or end of the name, so a name can be e.g. “ammo*” to match all names starting with “ammo” instead of an exact match
Adding does skip names that are already in the patched list, e.g. patching “sight,movement,melee,bullet,arrow,rocket” with adding “player,bullet” would only add “player”, not “bullet” as it is already in the old list
Block class PlantGrowing with IsRandom set to true:
Now works in unloaded chunks
‘PlantGrowing.GrowthRate’ property defines the mean value
New property ‘PlantGrowing.GrowthDeviation’ is a factor defining the min/max deviation from mean. Defaults to 0.25
XUi Credits controller now supports loading custom credits XMLs. Also supports multiple templates for categories/credit lines
News controller now supports loading custom newsXMLs. Also supports limiting to specific platforms or device types and entries that only show up once the date+time is met
Changed code loading:
A single DLL can now have multiple IModAPI implementations
Multiple DLLs are supported for IModAPI and game classes
All DLLs from all mods are loaded first before iterating classes so that mod load order does not affect resolving referenced types across multiple mods
Console command ‘exportcurrentconfigs’ now opens the dump folder in the explorer
New console command ‘damagereset’ to repair all blocks in a POI
Game command line argument ‘-quick-continue’ allows bypassing the main menu and directly continuing with the last played save

Changes for mods with custom code doing custom I/O:
We’ve replaced direct usage of System.IO classes such as File and Directory throughout the codebase with custom classes named with an “Sd” prefix (shorthand for “save data” – and/or “seven days” if you prefer). The new classes are SdFile, SdDirectory, SdFileInfo, SdDirectoryInfo, and SdFileSystemInfo. Mods should also switch to using these when accessing any user data or save data (it is okay to use standard File IO for other data though). Also some guidelines:
Make sure to not hold the streams open for too long.
Keep file sizes small if possible.
Reasons for this change include:
To facilitate a future backup feature that is active during writing, which should assist with power loss during writes resulting in corrupted data, the trade off being additional writes to disk and higher memory usage. Persisting to disk will happen some time after closing the stream.
Support for saves on other platforms (e.g. consoles). Some platforms require writes to happen within a certain window and some platforms do not provide standard File IO for saves, but have key-value storage only, both of which we have to abstract over.
