7 Days To Die

We’ve just released Alpha 17.2 B27 with many fixes, changes and some great new game options.

Blood Moon Frequency

This option allows the player to set a minimum amount of days for when the blood moon hordes appear. In the menu the player can disable them, have them daily, every 3 days, default weekly, once every two weeks and once every 30 days.
Blood Moon Range

Here the player can change how many days can the actual blood moon day randomly deviate from the frequency setting. Setting this to 0 makes blood moons happen exactly each Nth day as specified in BloodMoonFrequency
Landclaimcount

We added a property to the serverconfig.xml that allows server owners to change the maximum amount landclaims per player.
XP Multiplier

Players can increase or decrease the overall experience gained. To suit the XP speed for the length of game they desire.
Adjustable Block Damages

Players: Players can decrease or increase their damage dealt to blocks
AI: The damage dealt to blocks by normal AI
Blood Moon AI: The damage dealt to blocks exclusively by AI during blood moon horde time
For serverowners:

Added: serverconfig property “UserDataFolder” to specify where all generated data on the server is stored, including generated RWG worlds

Added: new properties “XPMultiplier”, “BlockDamagePlayer”, “BlockDamageAI”, “BlockDamageAIBM”

Removed: old properties “BlockDurabilityModifier”, “ZombiesRun”

Changed: TerminalWindowEnabled default is set to true

Please be sure you are using these properties in your serverconfig.xml:

<property name=”BloodMoonFrequency” value=”7″ /> <!– What frequency (in days) should a blood moon take place –>

<property name=”BloodMoonRange” value=”0″ /> <!– How many days can the actual blood moon day randomly deviate from the above setting. Setting this to 0 makes blood moons happen exactly each Nth day as specified in BloodMoonFrequency –>

<property name=”BloodMoonWarning” value=”8″ /> <!– The Hour number that the red day number begins on a blood moon day. Setting this to -1 makes the red never show. –>

<property name=”LandClaimCount” value=”1″/> <!– Maximum allowed land claims per player. –>

<property name=”BlockDamagePlayer” value=”25″ /> <!– How much damage do players to blocks (percentage in whole numbers) –>

<property name=”BlockDamageAI” value=”100″ /> <!– How much damage do AIs to blocks (percentage in whole numbers) –>

<property name=”BlockDamageAIBM” value=”100″ /> <!– How much damage do AIs during blood moons to blocks (percentage in whole numbers) –>

<property name=”XPMultiplier” value=”100″ /> <!– XP gain multiplier (percentage in whole numbers) –>
