Here is a pro tip that you don't see often: Step 1: Put on nerdy glasses and put 9 points into intelligence. Step 2: Max out better barter. Step 3: Go to trader and access 5/5 better barter secret stash. Take off glasses and you will have access to 4/5 better barter secret stash. This lets you see tons of different items.

[@IzPrebuilt]

It's a good tip but I'd disagree that you don't see it often.

[@JeffersonRedeyes]

@@IzPrebuilt I knew that one and I hit engines with stone axes

[@IzPrebuilt]

@@JeffersonRedeyes It's true you do.

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

@@JeffersonRedeyes I knew that and I mine Diamond with a stone pickaxe in Minecraft

[@Raven-Blackwing]

I may not be the target audience for this, but it's still a great refresher.

[@jamesgillum9604]

you're absolutely right, that cement scrapping trick completely blew my mind

[@kevnar]

I'm impatient, so I run everywhere. I wish this game had a gradual decrease in stamina loss by default, just like Oblivion. You start out as a fat slob who gets winded climbing a flight of stairs. Late game, you can sprint up those fuckers like an Olympian. That would be so satisfying. I also wish this game had the ability to go prone, like Solider of Fortune. Get higher shooting accuracy if you're on your belly. Crawl under 1-block heights, and go down air ducts like John McClain in Die Hard.

[@MrDrCthulhu]

Legitimately never knew the infection took 7 days to kill you, that's pretty neat. I always panic whenever I see it, and immediately try to cure it, even though it's not that bad at first.

[@anthoniimiller6633]

Rental Vendos are VERY useful. You can frequently sell items listed as "No Sale Price", like stone tools/weapons. Stacks of 6000 stone are worth large amounts. The Rental Vendos also frequently offer double to triple the sale price that the Traders do.

[@SkylerLinux]

Could you give us an outline on how to do that?

[@anthoniimiller6633]

@@SkylerLinux, it's pretty straight forward. Rent a vendo, and stuff whatever you can into it. I'll try to remember to test if it's still worth while in A20 this weekend.

[@bidoofthedoof3229]

LOVE these videos! Could you do a video on what to do late game? I find I get bored mid-late game as I achieved most of the items I need & a base that's nearly indestructible. Just some ideas/goals to shoot for or fun projects to do? Been watching all your videos, can't get enough 🤙

[@madmommy]

Agreed! I often start a new game when I get bored, so would love some ideas.

[@violetteplague3043]

I feel like your videos are always so helpful. The crit resistance explains why I only seem to get really hurt by animals where zombies rarely get more than one hit on me. I feel like the molotov hint was directed towards any who plays with Laney.

[@ashenone3883]

Great video prebuilt. Even if I know alot of these its always good to have a refresher.

[@connorprice1902]

2 mins in and was really surprised to hear about the cement trick and i have 2k+ hours lol! thanks mate rarely subscribe or comment ever but this channel is fantastic keep these things going for me to listen to while i jam

[@SyckestBlah]

A small addition to Trap XP: Sledge Turrets and the Shooty Turrets are NOT traps, even if placed! You get full XP from kills of those, even if you're dumb as a brick, skillpointwise.

[@IzPrebuilt]

Ooh yeah, I sometimes forget new players don't know that robotic turrets and static turret are different things.

[@madmommy]

I use markers in early game stage to mark coal, lead, and nitrate so I can find them again when I get to crafting ammo. Not to mention marking air drops if I can’t get to them right away, as the sprite disappears when the next air drop arrives. And although I’ve played for years, I have to admit I didn’t know #2. Nice list! We’re sending a Seal Team to rescue you.

[@RememberingEverything90s]

Bro!!!!!! You can scrap cement?! Why did I not think of this. I have 3000 cement and just had to do a rock run right before this video. Such good info in this video. Thank you

[@Lorri.]

I love these videos. I have a little over 1000 hours in the game and I still learn a little bit of something from watching your videos. Thank you kind sir! Also, can I make a silly request? Can you put all BLUE dye in your clothes for your next tutorial video? lol

[@IzPrebuilt]

Blue? yucky

[@Lorri.]

@@IzPrebuilt If I say please? Pretty please? lol If not blue, what about purple? You know purple is the color that symbolizes royalty right? lol

[@custossecretus5737]

Since the world is surrounded by a radiation zone, do you think an idea would be to find a hazmat suit and traverse the radiation zone to find another pocket of world map or an area the Duke could be in? Plenty of scope for adding stuff.

[@jordanharrison8769]

You may know this, but they’ve reworked the game stage loot stage in alpha 20 so that harder zones and POIs give better loot

[@CyfierGaming]

I used the art of mining stacks trick. I did not know it was per material... I'm sat on a fortune of xp mid game and didn't even know. Good shout 👍

[@lonewanderer958]

Just discovered 7dtd im a huge dayz, stalker, eft fan and general open world fps looter shooter/survival and this game is stinken awesome lol where has it been !

[@LethalOwl]

Despite my long time playing this, I did not know you could use the Vulture for the trading book thing. Thought it had to be a magnum. Also didn’t know the map thing, and had totally forgot about the exp from creating stacks of resources.

[@VRStuz]

"it's the title of the game get it?" i laughed much more then I should of

[@theturksReno7]

Regarding the player vending machines, the only items worth selling are STACKS of stone. They sell for 300K a pop. It will require a lot of mining though.

[@free2gamer189]

Keep up the great work!!!

[@acnhgum8]

For beginners it's easy if someone tells them that the traders quest is marked on the compass and that if you don't see the icon you're still too far away. nobody told me that. I almost gave up as a beginner 😅😅

[@milchbube5486]

Getting 2 engines of one engine is new to me. I dont think i will ever use it but nice to know.

[@syllith3077]

That last tip was amazing thank you I cant wait to try it out on my friends lmaoo!

[@Obscurae]

IzP: "But this tip always seems to blow someone's mind" Me: "Ah yeah, I've seen plenty of IzP's videos interested to see what tip I already know does this to people IzP: "Cement is scrappable" Me: "WHAT"

[@BenCarnage]

experience from trap kills does give you more exp from hordes in a lot of cases. If your traps kill more zombies than you and faster it's a no-brainer.

[@IzPrebuilt]

There is actually a limited amount of zombies that will spawn on a horde night. There will only be 3 true waves with a limited amount of zombies spawning. There is a possibility that you will end up killing more zombies with traps if you can't deal with all 3 waves yourself. However, as I said, that relies on Advanced engineering 5. Without atleast adv engineering 3 I believe, you won't get ANY XP so using traps if you are trying to level without ADV ENG is a bad idea.

[@BenCarnage]

@@IzPrebuilt Ah, I did not know this. I've noticed especially my first few hordes ending early. I tend to exit the game and start again, and the horde starts back up if it is still night. Has been like this for a few alphas now. I thought this was based in time/the low gamestage. The zombies take a while to run over so being able to kill them faster and further away seems a powerful concept during hordes. I trust your experience in the matter, but it would be interesting how far you could push exp gain from hordes.

[@rowdyryangames]

Awesome video!

[@crayonchomper1180]

so I can cheese the early game in a multiplayer server if I have Art Of Mining Vol. 5 and stack all my friends resources and have it be even better if I am given Nerdy Glasses and Learnin' Elixir, cool

[@toprogress]

Thanks for your video !

[@vlone0018]

what mic do you use it sounds so satisfying 😂

[@dndhatcher]

The XP from engineering is only electrical traps (darts, electric fence, blade traps). Spikes do not give any XP. I have not tested shotgun/smg turrets or mines, have you?

[@IzPrebuilt]

SMG and Shotgun turrets do give XP if you have sufficient Advanced engineering yes.

[@blainebickle1178]

Question on #23: You said days survived. So it you're on day 44, and you died on day 11, where would that put your days survived?

[@IzPrebuilt]

Well, you died once so 43

[@dndhatcher]

The calculation for "days survived" is days alive - deaths, but it is capped by your level. If you are on day 28 and have never died, but are only level 21, your days survived is 21. If you are level 100 on day 28 and have never died your days survived is 28. If on the morning of the 28th you eat broken glass and die 28 times, your days survived is 0 for that horde night.

[@nguyendetecting]

I always.. always rent a vending machine from the vendors. ALWAYS after a few days items will be bought by "someone/NPCs". Just try it rent a machine load it up, come back a few days later and a few items would be sold. You can even load in no value items, such as crucibles, motorcycles, minibikes. Great and best way to make money, better than getting ripped off by Rekt. Will NOT work with player bought machines, only the ones located in the vendors.

[@SyckestBlah]

I learned that Pyongyang is in Korea. Now to continue not doing anything with this information... I need those lists, dude! Also, the last tip I stumbled upon while playing with my friend. I just got the book and was the designated miner, and I happened to have the stone on me, and hey, it's a new thing, so let me try it for the luls - and suddenly I levelled up. It was nice, suddenly gaining like 2 levels at that stage.

[@Kraken85]

Good work buddy

[@frazerjackson6433]

Does "The penetratior" skill work with all guns now, or is it still only the rifles ?

[@IzPrebuilt]

the armor penetration is all guns, the target penetration is rifles.

[@CalsCalzones]

is the book icon trick still working in alpha 20? i havent noticed it if it is

[@KhavInt]

I’m interested in the back 😭how’d ya get it

[@MrSchmup]

good vid :D

[@ArcticWolve98]

I use player vending machines to sell items the trader wouldn't normally buy like stone arrows or even bows

[@vojtechvalian8066]

why my skill points disapear each time i get new level, i cannot have more than 3 skill points at same time

[@waggsbannin99]

great vidyer

[@elderhorizon5117]

180 minutes to 120 minutes for crops to grow is ruff

[@TizonaAmanthia]

these are GOOD tips.

[@blakepenney5628]

The last one was the best

[@prore888]

really wish they would make the bow viable and make it so that stealth playstyle is also viable

[@adalerk]

Wish granted. Not sure whether you threw a coin in a well, or blew the birthday candle, but thank you!

[@-JA-]

Thank you.

[@solessmusic285]

Wait.. is there not football player zombies in alpha 20?

[@IsThatDrak]

i actually didnt know about the waypoint one lol its ok 2000 hours not to late right

[@TheFrigginDevil]

How do you delete a waypoint?

[@MacTheKnife]

Got a sub

[@troyhanchett8942]

This man said 10 - 4 is a lot of numbers. Bruh im dead💀

[@IzPrebuilt]

Oh my god I can't believe I have to explain this to an actual human being, but here we go. The "that was a lot of numbers" referred to the entire tip. It was all based on numbers and values, which I've had complaints about in the past. Not everyone likes being told percentages and seeing math, their brains turn off. I was being considerate to those people using my basic human ability of empathy. Imagine having to have someone explain a basic social courtesy to you, bruh I'm dead💀

[@SisuBjörk]

Amazing guide, need less numbers tho.

[@jesaarenpaa]

And most important tip of them all...fuck cornmeal!

[@elevown]

isnt this kinda mostly redundant precisely because a20 is about to hit? Half this stuff might not apply to a20 - and about 98% of 7D players WILL move to a20.

[@IzPrebuilt]

We'll find out when alpha 20 comes out in like 2 months

[@materekpl6032]

No no no unless u don't want to use cement don't waste it like that u gonna wait hours melting stone and doing cement

[@IzPrebuilt]

Obviously only do it in the early game

[@OgQwahnaarin]

Goob but only for pc player

[@IzPrebuilt]

Given that console hasn't been updated in 5 years why would you expect any kind of content related to it?

[@darcymccabe8191]

no
