Srsly CP, you do all the detailed work on topics that I ask myself so often but I never have the endurance to actually test it all out as sophisticated as you do 😄 Thanks alot ! There is always something I did not know about on your videos 🙏

"The design is very human." But in all seriousness, love this design, may have to give it a go in creative mode before using real materials.

wait, they DESPAWN?! I've always played with a 90 minute/18 hour day cycle so I've been potentially/probably missing out on loot T_T

Just realized I’ve been watching you for a while now and haven’t subscribed, there you go.

Hey! About destroying the lootbags... if a house collapse, the bags are gone too? Glitched into another world? Or are they findable?

so that last bit, loot stage does increase by being in a PoI but game stage does not. in my mind this means that horde nights wont be stronger based on you being in a PoI, although they will be based on biome. is there anywhere that says otherwise?

Another great vid Pancake! Thanks!

Interesting ideas. I enjoyed your video.

Great info. Thank you! I use 2 hour days, so knowing and not just suspecting that the bags will despawn is very helpful.

Trying to build this, still unsure how it works though aha XD, wish me luck

additional tip while digging with a pickaxe, sneak first before swinging because it will reduce the heat generated, preventing screamer spawns

This is so fucking boring

This is T(anti)FP we are talking about here. Of course the extra 20% is only of the base amount. And from the number of bags dropped at the end it seems like it lines up there.

I have notice it's hard to lootbags if the zombi have died in spikes?

Not sure what setting is switched but my bags never disappear at all had same bags from day 59 to 75so hmmmmm not sure

These have been changed around a few times. I do remember trying to explain how the loot works and how high the odds can get to find something specific such as small engines. Glock 9 was trying to get one to drop and you have to understand how odds work for a game such as craps where the amounts of times you throw won't effect the odds any. Same thing here -- it might be a one in 10,000 chance you roll a small engine and each time you open a bag it's always one in 10,000 chance - so opening up a thousand bags won't make any difference.

Great video! Learnt a few things, including the main thing that lead me here (whether or not loot bags despawn during horde night).

I legitimately want to know who asked for the 1.0 changes across the board. From what I'm seeing from the community, it seems like they just made a LOT of changes that make the experience worse overall with 1.0. Farming, mining, fighting...

Wow great editting!

Could the 20% drop chance increase the odds of the extra categories of loot inside lootbags rather than the drop rate of the bags themselves. In the video it looked like you were getting more extra categories than usual at the end.

Incredible video dude, very well done.

As always, there's an edge case to point out! Thanks to @IamF4ng- @konradfoyle and @niyls who pointed out that falling terrain blocks *can* force a despawn on loot bags. Some quick testing confirms that if you pile enough falling blocks on top of an area covered in loot bags, then some of them can despawn when covered by the popup terrain blocks that are created when the falling block is destroyed. So watch out for falling bases on top of loot bag piles as you could lose some bags this way! Thanks as always for everyone sharing their knowledge - I love this community!

7 days to Die became a zombie when they decided to charge $50 for an update. The only people still playing are those that refused to play a game that's 'new' but has been out for a decade. Suckers.

Best way to get good loot: make your horde base on the edge of wasteland and forest, with the fighting position on the wasteland. Wait for the horde to beggin on the forest side and fight on the wasteland. Use the best rogue hood with eye candy.

I hate to be that guy 😂 But actually, loot bags can be destroyed, found out the hard way. At the very end of my Day 14 horde zombies were able to destroy all support for my base and brought it down. Any loot bags i had below me despawned, lost a couple blue bags and a red one.

One of the reasons you got so few loot bags during the rocket launcher testing, is that loot bags have health. If you attack them, they will take damage, and eventually be destroyed. Rockets don't have much damage to blocks, but entities like lootbags?

Cant trust KZbin even in my mind, I thought of searching this topic up this morning and here it is being recommended out of nowhere lol

So, i had a horde base that was ripped down mid blood moon and i had quite a bit of loot bags that were on the ground, but when the blocks collapsed on top of them i think they broke them. Not sure if thats actually the case or not but might be something worth looking into

Are you using a mod to spawn things or is it from the game, if it is a mod can you send it, thanks and great video.

I am wondering if due to the fact your RL was kill all zombies at the same time the game was having issues actually doing a proper calc. Could you kill them in less fast and have different results I am wondering. Also wondering how long inbetween before the rest of the counter

Thanks CautiousPancake, heaps of good info there! I hadn't noticed that loot bags were no longer destructible... I won't need to be so careful headshotting spiders amongst the bags on horde nights now. :D

A while ago I got a 4X4 chassis from a direwolf! 2 hours ago I got another one XD!

I like when you find a random yellow loot bag laying around.

How does the skill of looting effect loot stage, if at all?

I started a new game going for a kind of scavenger build (so not much J to anything apart from looting, scavenging and spears) and I'm currently trying to figure out how I can turn butcher Petes (snow biome navezgane) elevator shady into a horde base for a level 5 iron spear and level 1 pistol (the better one) so if you have bas rebuild that can work there a link would be extremely appreciated ❤️ TIA

Do they save on quit? Come on mate

kill the zombies one after the other not all in the same tic

Good info, my dood!

Once had 4 zombies drop loot bags in a row

welp time to go on a dire wolf killing spree i guess

For Your Bonus Tip Ive Heard Poi Level Doesnt Influence Horde Night Difficulty Are You Sure It Does :? Regardless Great Video

Can you get level 6 loot from them or is it only obtainable from crafting?

Thanks for this very comprehensive look at loot bags. Learned something here!

I watched PC playthroughs for many years now I'm not impressed by a PS5 only update 😢

So in a wondering horde, we're better off to kill 3 regular zombies then kill the blue bag zombies last?

That bonus tip at the end, Didn't know about that, ill definitely consider building a base on a existing POI.

The bears and dire wolves are bugged atm, and don't always attack after you hit them. Free Red loot bags basically. Hunt them at night in the wasteland for big booty.

Great info, I've always wondered what exactly can be in the bags

That’s why I always go to the wasteland as soon as I reach level 10 to farm fire wolves and bears. Saves me 1 week of grind.

much obliged as always bud, thanks for sharin these top tier bits of info.
