25 TINY Tips That Could Make Your Life Easier in 7 Days To Die (2023)

[@brabbelbeest]

Added tips: - For skinning an animal, target the head, it will do double damage. - For paper, just like cobblestone and cement, there is a lootable block for it. It looks a bit like a light brown square held together by strings. These give 25 paper each. - A POI will reset the moment you start a quest at that location. You can loot some key containers (like mailboxes, supply crates, ammo/food stack or even the end container if you can reach it easily) and then start the quest, these things will respawn too. - Hay bales will break your fall and prevent fall damage up to 22 blocks. - Breaking down nests can provide about 0-5 extra feathers. - Tree stumps have a relatively high chance of dropping honey (I get the feeling it's about a 1 in 5 chance) - While sneaking, shooting the thin screens that often hide zombies (like closet doors) with a silent weapon (like bow/crossbow), doesn't alert/wake the zombies, but will break the screen allowing you to shoot the zombies. - Smelting metal objects will provide more resources than scrapping them. - Dismantling radiators in houses will always yield brass radiators. - If you have unwanted mods you want to sell, put them in items before you sell them, they'll increase the price more than their own worth. These are just a few out of the top of my mind :)

The head skinning tip is clutch thank you!

[@unpayedovertime626]

Tips: 1. You can force a POI to respawn by taking a quest that directs to it. You can use it to gather crops (Stated in the farming video, why) and other loot if you can find it. Just mind the inventory space. 2. If you're looking for the end loot and you know where it is, you can just build to it and loot it. Just be mindful of the mobs that spawn in that room. 3. Check your corners. There are many places the devs can hide containers such as purses, gunbags, and uncommonly, safes from view. The latter may have it's position changed if the POI is respawned by a mission, however. 4. Search, loot, and dismantle anything in a POI BEFORE you start a quest. Salvage cars, salvage nonworking Vending Machines (For easy Forged Iron/steel), Safes (Again, for Forged Steel/Iron), loot the end loot if you can find it, loot the store shelves if they have any, and take notes where the zombies spawn when you start the quest. 5. Do NOT dismantle any containers in a POI AFTER a quest. If the POI is able to respawn naturally, it also replenishes the loot inside. One time loot containers (Such as those turn into backpacks) however, doesn't. Just mind the respawning zombies inside. 6. Be mindful of using the Parkour Perk- while you jump higher, you risk yourself falling from greater heights in the later POIs. Bring wooden frames as a support. 7. Depending on your block damage rate, Shotguns can destroy the scenery with one shot. While it's a good way to destroy enemies, it's bad when it accidentally destroys a container in the process, or worse, destroy the floor. 8. Trees are your enemy. They tend to hide enemies with their leaves. Chop down bushy trees to have a clearer view. 9. In multiplayer, whomever has the best loot level should always open containers. They don't need to talk the item, they just need to open it. 10. Powered Turrets are default set to shoot strangers on sight. If you're playing with friends and one forgets to be allies, they might end up dying from the turret. They will shoot you if you log in as a different steam user on the same computer also. You have to manually set them to shoot zombies only. 11. Zombies only needs the default earth to spawn. If your base is big enough and you are far enough, they may spawn inside your base due to the natural earth. Cover them, or use a power turret to curb spawns. 12. Fight in the later horde nights with multiple covers. Vultures and Fat cops will vomit at you! Demolition Zombies, if shot in the wrong area, will explode and potentially destroy your cover! 13. Be mindful where you start your base on solo- you may end up traveling far to do quests in skyscrapers. 14. Get loaded when the game sends you off for a Skyscraper quest. You are spending the night or two inside there if you're going to clear it. Pack heals, pack ammo, pack food and water, pack wood frames, and if you're playing with friends, pack with friends also. Stay frosty, zombies can be ferals and the more dangerous can spawn also. And more zombies WILL be entering the building, so pack Spike traps to slow them down also. 15. On earlier horde nights, a multiple story POI can be used to defend against the horde, Just be mindful of ladders, vultures, and areas where the horde can "jump" to your location. 16. Build multiple bases. You are going to be switching from time to time if you haven't upgrade your defenses from the Screamer zombies with powered Turrets. 17. Driving offroad in the Wasteland Biome is bad for your vehicle. You will ram blocks, trees, and debris littered around the landscape. You might even run over a car, causing an explosion with the 4x4. You might even get stuck and be an easy meal for a Zombie Bear. 18. Always use a fresh save to test out Mods- whether or not your are adding or removing them. So you don't impact your save and screw yourself over by corrupting your character or the world. 19. Always kill the Screamer zombie when you hear and see her. She is going to attract more zombies when she is heard, and the longer she remains alive. 20. The cop zombie can explode when low on health. Always take it out and make sure it's dead to avoid damage from it's suicide attack. 21. Be aware of the floor. Some POI has trapped floors that gives out and sends mobs of zombies to kill you easily. Some POI have mines that will explode when you trigger them. You can avoid the explosion easier with the infiltrator perk tree.

[@MDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMD]

11 is only necessary if you can't cover your base with your land claim block(to prevent POI spawns) and your sleeping bag radius. With friends it's even easier because you have more

[@unpayedovertime626]

@@MDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMD This is intended for the Open world spawns, as I walked one part of my base and my turrets randomly shot a zombie that spawned inside the base on open ground during horde night. It's more of a beware since I later patched up the "backyard" of the base with wood frames.

[@megsmith6758]

Ah yes, I shall pack my friends in my inventory 😂

[@Novocane23]

Tip #2 for loot rooms in POIs is not a good idea if you are doing a quest in the same POI - as many enemies are now triggered spawns in many locations; this is especially important in Tier 6 Infection quests (now that A21 is out). Often, building or destroying your way to the loot room will break the triggers, rendering the quest unable to be completed. Not an issue if you aren't doing a quest. Higashi Pharmaceuticals is extremely bad for this. Breaking doors, going through the floor or ceiling, or generally ignoring the path the POI wants you to take is a very easy way to break the quest completely. Big Tip: Most buttons in POIs are currently broken in A21 - T6 quests are especially egregious for this. It will appear as a button attached to a large generator usually - but the button is not powered. Breaking the button or the generator attached to it will make the trigger activate, allowing the zombies to spawn and the quest to be finished. Breaking the door attached to the button does not work. Breaking the blocks/pipe attached to the button, causing it to fall and break also will not work.

[@ancientevil8044]

[@kraevgames]

It used to show the option to press W to sell, but they removed it entirely a while back, so that wasn't an option at all. Then, they put the option back in the game, but left out the image saying you could do that. Some people noticed, some didn't. For new players, being told is the only way to know.

Paper....you had one about paper. Paper is found when breaking boxes! you get polymers too when doing that and i usually need that over paper by far. In fact paper is so common WITHOUT breaking down precious valuable money to get dukes which is by far better then paper. paper is literally laying around on the floor from POI's and when they reset so does that little tiny trash clungs that break into it. Paper is so easy to come by that its the first on my what to drop if need room list. I have a general rule of what to keep and what to drop, it seems silly at first but this method I have works if you dropping off stuff at base often enough you dont even really need to mine much. only thing to drop more often for more room in the inventory than paper is GLASS. Paper is stupid silly easy to come by without breaking down ATM cash which is much more valueable as DUKES. I literally cant state this enough, I can get stuck with more paper still dropping it often by just collecting a few poi's of stuff on the ground and ax'ing boxes (especially houses of POI 1-3) and have more then I need to make ammo, plus there are easier ways of getting ammo with questing. (no not buying it but that helps too).

[@Djjustb]

Number 18 is probably the one I need to really listen to you about. I just see the same lvl and scrap it. It was like 6 months ago on one of your videos that you made me realize the loot goggles are different levels as well. Keep up the awesome work!!! I love your videos

[@mistrjt9213]

I just got the game. Thank you so much for all these guides. They are extremely helpful. I’m binging!

[@But_Sects]

My favorite underestimated tip is to pick up chairs everywhere u go. Easy wood, iron, and leather u can scrap as they stack that adds up in the long term and gives you a generous amount of resources to have on hand before you even get a forge. Also if you pick them up theyre out of the way so you dont get cornered

[@Cocomacsonian]

yes

[@justus8675]

I don't even scrap the chairs (if I have space in my inventory), I use them as fuel as they are in my forge!

[@silverfawkes1219]

Or do like I do and build seating outside your house for cheap. Got like 200 chairs out there for when I hold the podraces.

[@I-eat-minimum-wage-workers]

Or you can cheese zombies by putting chairs in front of holes in walls and doors so you can stop em coming through for some reason they have trouble hitting them idk why

[@TimBrazeau]

Likewise, I tend to grab every potted plant I see and scrap them for clay.

[@Novocane23]

A little late but there's also a way to get a large amount of paper quickly, but it's in a dangerous POI Crack-A-Book HQ - in the basement near the loot room, there is a machine that looks like a printing press with large white rolls of paper on it. Harvesting it easily gives around 500 paper - you can look for Tier 5 (Or Tier 6 since A21 is out) quests to reset it to farm the paper as well.

[@donpfoutz625]

One thing, gathering coal from burned blocks, it's not gobs, but it eases the grind. Harvest parking meters for odd bits of dukes.

[@DarkSabrewulf123602]

What a shame, i guess i'll delete the game from my library was hoping a new update came to it. Laaaame

[@TeaBeca]

I just started playing, and i noticed if i press E first at a nest to check it's items, don't pick them up, close the window and axe down the nest, i'll get a backpack afterwards with the items that were in it. So i can harvest the nest by axe and also get the items afterwards. Getting double the content. I'm sorry if this is known already, just want to share because i saw someone saying that harvesting the nest is better than picking it up, but we can do both at the same nest.

[@callumlyons7905]

I feel like the animal tracker perk is underutilised if you're having food issues in 7 days its like people forget its there and it's perfect for multiplayer.

[@MrDoyle-ky4he]

Multiplayer really is an understated fun way to play the game. Each player will almost always delegate a roll to themselves. My game we have the Heavy that wear heavy armor and swings a sledgehammer while using machine guns. He's there for horde nights and hard POIs. Another buddy is dumping stat points into vendor based perks for the dukes and better quest rewards. I'm the basebuilder and resource gatherer for building and maintaining equipment. Shitload of fun tbh.

[@SteveS63]

[@Blitzcreeper239]

The vulture spawns on horde night, if you have a base that has good vulture defence is it possible to sit on your vehicle within your base to encourage vulture spawns instead of zombie spawns, or must the game realise you are constantly relocating the horde waypoint before it decides to spam vultures?

[@blainebickle1178]

Bob's boars and carls corn is a great POI for cement too. That's often overlooked.

[@Gods_Fury101]

So I might be alone in saying this but I personally LOVE the way the console game is only thing I’d update is the graphics and maybe add the traders “jobs”. Looting zombies, crafting system, how the quality works, and skill system is SO much better on the console version. There’s almost no thought to what skill to decide on now, where as the console version you have to decide on spending on 1pt skills, 5 point, 10 points and some are even 30pts so you have to REALLY think about wether or not you want concrete over sexual tyrannosaurs or something. I recently got the PC version and spent a fair bit of resources trying to bump my stone axe up in quality and was so confused lol. So that’s my reasoning, But that’s just me.

[@jagslumber]

number 10 & 11 the smallest tips yet very useful

[@theritchie2173]

One you didn't mention here, but I just picked up from following your Desert Ranger series - I had no idea you could plant trees directly in the ground, instead of having them bulge out of farm plots like a WWE wrestler in a vest 3 sizes too small.

[@RavenAdventwings]

Put down a block of dirt or topsoil anywhere in your base with a high enough ceiling, then a tree seed on it. It's funny to see a giant tree growing out of a single floating clump of dirt on top of a wooden base (lol).

[@Khaozreigns]

I've made a gas station into my home base and I've noticed that after horde night there are many walls and floors that are damaged. Is is possible for a building to become weakened enough that it could just fall down, but it's hard to notice?

I don’t enjoy this game like I used to… I just started a new game for the first time in a couple years, on console, and day 1 I had so much! Got really lucky and got a mining helmet within the first ingame hour, and then found 2 pistols, a nearly max level crossbow, a nail gun, chainsaw, mini bike book, etc. and then found a machete for sale from the trader (which is insanely rare in this version) so basically I had the best start to a game ever. And…. I wasn’t having fun. It was exciting to get the items, but then I went to find a base to call home and I was walking around and just didn’t want to play anymore. It’s weird. I used to love playing the game, finding items, hoarding everything, etc. but I just didn’t want to play anymore. And it sucks because I once loved this game. I tried building a log cabin which I’ve always wanted to do in this game, and I got the walls put up and then just stopped. No motivation to keep going or keep playing… I hope eventually I can get back into it.
