How Heat, Horde Night, and Gamestage Work In 7 Days to Die (Alpha 21)

[@casey8633]

Kids in math class: I'll never need this in life. Temreki: If your friend is game stage 70 and you are at gamestage 150.... How many zombies are coming to eat you?

[@insanityplea5502]

Woulda made me try harder. I stopped giving a shit when mental math was wrong even if the answer was correct but I had to show my work cause im wrong anyways even if im right.

[@XEN-ZOMBIE]

Dude.. The effortless cuts and shots completely fly by. And you have even mentioned how much work you put in. I think it only just properly hit me. The math, the digging through xml's the setting up shots with spawning and world edits etc. I appreciate it.

[@Qwark909]

Yes. This man is absolutely goated. Bwst 7 days content creator on youtube

[@XEN-ZOMBIE]

@@Qwark909 To be fair - not a high bar.

[@funnierthanyaman]

That was actually a great and informative video. That I know took tons of work. So let me do my part by leaving a comment 😂👍🏾

[@SaRaHtheBlackStar]

Wth is this channel!!! And how have I been playing 7dtd since 2018 without knowing about it!! You're an incredible content creator, the production value of every video you put out and the information you share with all the work you put into it, is just mind boggling. I'm hooked! Loving the new series btw, what a gem of a channel! 👏👏👏

[@mysho]

4:54 I love that there's an absoulte onslaught and the deer just doesn't care. "na na na na naaa beautiful day, lemme walk right here"

[@janinelarue1616]

That is an epic looking horde base! Thanks for all the hard work!

[@monsterhunter2534]

He made it in his darkness falls play through and it is epic

[@BFPerry220]

Very nice, I appreciate this. Me an my bro are newbies and this is very helpful. Were still struggling at 70 max hp etc. I've just learned cooked food helps, so knowing the nights get worse and how they progressively get insane helps. We barely survived day 21, night 28 or so taught us a lesson, and I just learned how a smithy works a bit. Were definitely struggling but surviving and learning.

[@GenericUserHandle]

Thank you for being a highly informative voice in the world of 7 Days to die and getting all these videos out. Having someone who I can recommend who has a well informed opinion is so great. Keep up the great work and hope you continue to experience success in your YT endeavors.

[@vetheros]

One of the best creators on KZbin right now. Your work ethic really shows in the quality of your work.

[@gibs9731]

You're the GOAT of 7D2D, I watch your content more than I actually play the game! 😅

[@shaunkoffinas]

After some testing. Building a tower base for crafting and not horde usage, i figured out that 80+ blocks above ground level you will not get any screamers. Tested with 5 forges. 5 campfires going for longer than 20 mins on creative mode. Private server no spawns as well. 11:34

[@bjordan2451]

This is why you are my favorite creator. You put a lot of work into this, thanks!

[@OldieWan]

Thanks so much GNS! You are the Platinum standard when it comes to 7 Days to Die videos on the internet. Great job on working these calculations out for us here in such a short matter of time. Valuable information that lots of people I know have been looking for. Will be directing everyone that plays this game to this video.

[@plaguedcrow333]

that lull moment got me on my first hoard night lol i kept looking down at my phone cuz it cooled down then they'd show up and get a cheeky smack off on me XD

[@Sissybee52]

Thanks for all the hard work!! You’re my source for all 7D2D info!

[@Mr.Anderson__]

The fact that you came up with that calculation, rather than getting it from the devs, is pretty insane. Great work!

[@Varmint260]

Great work, Tem! Glad to see TemCam is getting more and more screen time / recognition for his hard work, too!

[@kuriea552]

that is crazy how things vary from the wasteland to the forest now. Looking forward to playing on this A21 game.

[@mandysorensen8876]

This! Your tutorials is how I found your channel, stayed to watch your Darkness Falls play through, been hooked ever since! Thanks for the hard work! You can tell you are having fun!

[@KarnivoreHG]

Bro that ramp you have going up and then the line zombies have to run is amazing. I’m gonna try it. I suck at making horde base so this is great!

[@bigbrolla]

I’m a spreadsheet nerd so these types of videos you produce speak to me on a level few other creators can reach. Haha.

[@hamcheeselettucemayosandwich]

I’ve said it dozens of times but you contribute the absolute best game support videos of any KZbinr I know. You should be a consultant developer.

[@KarnivoreHG]

Bro these videos are awesome. I learn so much thus the greatest power of KZbin.

[@urbsnova6205]

Das war sehr viel Information auf einmal. Einfach in 10 Minuten das halbe Spiel erklärt. Ich bin begeistert

[@GoodBoyGoneDad]

Excellent video as always Tem. I didn't know dying lowered your game stage. That's so nice of the game helping out the players who die a lot. 😂

[@Neelo5000]

And rewarding players with better loot for not dying.

[@huntermute1711]

I like staying in the winter biome I just always like the look of snow and the feeling of it even in real life I like winter on I like playing on Survivalist Its quite fun if you play it safe and I always like the challenge. and thank you for the information

[@asevrinx]

I've watched a few of your videos here and there based off of some Neebs community members mentioning your channel, but never subscribed. But today, after watching this video, I can't see how it wouldn't earn someone's subscription. These are the videos I appreciate the most. It helps players know how to get the most bang out of their game play. Reminds me of old Cap00 videos. Thanks for sharing. +1 subscriber.

[@thomasmatijas2775]

Your videos are so well made. So much work involved! Love all the content

[@GlitterPixi3]

Very in depth. Thank you!

[@Schenton]

Not only was the info easy to understand it was well presented and had a meaningful background that represented what was talked about. An excellent presentation.

[@treywilliams5400]

The amount of work this video took is crazy!! Thanks for everything you do!!

[@henrydutoit69]

Thanks for the info! I was really scared of my first horde night because i had it set to day 30, but kept postponing because my base was never done in time

[@1tsyabo170]

I dropped a like for the maths alone. the dedication to figure that out is respectable

[@CrabClownJimmy]

That math equation had me shaking my head, but I know you're the guy to work it out! Well done! 😅

[@thevalkyries8680]

Phenomenal video, GNS. Lots of meaty info presented in clean, efficient, and easy-to-digest bites. Well done!😊

[@JustinMShaw]

In a much earlier version of 7d2d I remember the player itself being one of the strongest heat sources. Basically wherever you spent the most time would be where screamers would appear. I haven't kept track of whether that's still a thing since once I figured it out I started spending as little time as possible at my base.

[@imjustacasual2813]

I WAS WONDERING WHY MY HORDE NIGHT JUST NEVER ENDS!!! I come back to playing after a few years and decided it would be fun to build my base in the wasteland.

[@notgonnahappen7899]

Dew collectors now also generate heat, despite being 100% passive. Also, there is a chance to get random screamer spawns directly before or after a Blood Moon.

[@Tacticato-Potato]

This was such a great video! Great and important infos, and also everything super condensed and on top also just fun to watch! Keep up the good work man!

[@adzz8012]

My hats off to ya mate, I really enjoy your breakdows man. Like surgery... youve made my gaming a bit better (on console, so stuck on 15) so im vicariously playing the new one lol

[@eggsngaming]

2:25 such a satisfying moment.

[@tpeel6309]

Thank you for doing the math! That was a lot of info and very useful info! I'm glad you show us the game files because otherwise I'd never see them. Thanks Tem! Another quality video!

[@Maeda_Miakoda_Gaming]

I can't even imagine being able to figure all that out! Impressive!

[@rimtuuktheogre8976]

Great video, just wanted to add that according to some other videos I saw Dew Collectors now create heat.

[@ravenheartwraith]

the GNT style videos I subscribed for! great and informative vid, they really are trying to make it so you can't advance too far too quick, even in terms of living in harder biomes.

[@Simon-ss8pe]

Great video, been binging this channel like a mad man lately

[@chrisbug2647]

What a freaking GOLD information, amazing video, great editing, like others mentioned a great epic looking horde base too!

[@lordofPockets]

Tem, you are truly a pillar in this community

[@The_Noobie]

These tip videos are great! And I love when you put in some funny parts, like when you were talking about explosives. Good Job Tem!

[@Centurion54X]

You should do a video on the engineering degrees zombies have on which blocks the zombies attack, also how they interact with different blocks which blocks they can walk on, and what blocks can make them crawl

[@AimSmallFragHigh]

This was very helpful in understanding how horde day works.

[@ChrissieBear]

7:51 The Blood Moon Count setting is per player, so if it's set at 8, and there's 2 players, and maxAlive is 66, then only 16 (8*2) zombies will spawn. But if there's 9 players, and maxAlive is 66, then only 66 zombies will spawn, rather than 72 (8*9).

[@shkotayd9749]

Your work has only improved SO MUCH more :D Well done video!

[@harolddoeshorror]

I will be honest here ..I don't understand what the hell this person just said BUT I watched every minute because it made me "want to understand". Hope that makes sense. Very well done....professional and entertainment

[@amateurishauthor2202]

I haven't thought about Seven Days to die in a very long time. I think seven years now? I always enjoy watching people play it, and I've had fun playing it.

[@jonathanlee7355]

Amazing work!!! Great job!! I cant imagine how much of a pain it was to test all of that! Thank you so much!

[@WonderbreadXz]

This is the best video and brake down I seen on this topic!

[@heckatecrossroads]

Love the content you make, and loving all the new videos explaining alpha 21! I find it extremely useful and informative how you present all the info. Your regular playthrough videos are a favorite as well!!

[@luissantiago5163]

Thanks a bunch! Felt more difficult but didn't know the maths

[@michaelclark8819]

For all the math you did I wish I could hit the like button 20 times. Great video.

[@scruffygaming627]

This is REALLY good. thank you for all the info. I feel it's everything i wanted to know, without any fluff. perfect.

[@WarlockTil]

The outro music is just 👌👌 Reminds me of the early days of alpha 20 when I discovered your channel and you had like 10k subs

[@H3nnyofficial]

You make some of my favorite videos! Always love seeing a new upload 💜

[@stacyhylton1607]

Nicely done! Thanks for the Horde Night overview.

[@Bushcaddy620MP]

Fantastic video thank you so much. I know this took time and I love how well you put this info together

[@jedimosiah8666]

This is actually very useful video, thank you for doing the research.

[@demoniccrunk]

You're a very talented content creator, thank you and keep up the amazing work :)

[@stevelunde5683]

This is fantastic! I'm a newb. How is loot bag duration calculated? Will loot bags de-spawn during the horde? What about loot bags that occur overnight, during wandering hordes or during a quest. I fear I panic unnecessarily and obsess over loot bags. Thanks for your efforts at clarifying the game mechanics! You ROCK!

[@gbwillson]

Great information that's clearly and simply presented! Thank you!

[@allthegoodnamesareinuse]

Thanks for the breakdown, that answered several questions I've had lingering for a while!

[@brodriguez11000]

Fun game although the too dark issue needs to be worked out, and "spawn on my backpack" can put a person in a worse situation than before.

[@manemperorofmankind8119]

Didn’t realize game stage changed, this is awesome!

[@Christinson_]

my friend and i were wondering why we were finding radiated so early on in the snow biome and i assumed something was changed. thanks for doing the math

[@m3gahurtz]

you should ALWAYS remember people when talking about heat that crouching reduces the heat generated when hiting objects and mining

[@pabbischannel8812]

Well this explains the wights and radiated zombies I got on night 14 in my burnt forest base which was in no way prepared for that :(

[@Firebuck]

Great vid! (The breaks in the level cutoffs were a little weird, but I'm guessing that's just missing data atm.) Excellent, helpful info -- thanks!

[@NinjaTheLego]

I like math! My first horde night should be today, good thing I didn't move it to the snow biome. Side note: This is really going to make Rebirth interesting, that MOD really forces me out of the pine forest early.

[@jonnyc4744]

Did I mention explosions... Nice one 😂

[@jamesrsmith8558]

I found that the music on Horde night will play the attack music for as long as horde night is active, even if there is a pause between waves. I keep the music low but still loud enough so that I can hear it when I am not shooting or fighting. When you hear only crickets with no more fight music then it's safe to head outside your base and move around. There will still be the ambiance musical notes and the choral song now and again but the actual music stops. Hope that helps.

[@kevinstefanov2841]

If I level up during the blood moon, will it consider the new gamestage for each zombie spawned? Or will it take whatever gamestage I was at AT THE START of the bloodmoon and use that till the end, ignoring any levels gained during the blood moon?

[@DoctaFknJay]

Are you retarded?

[@Beans168]

Well-made and informative, entertaining content. I hope you see millions of subs and views

[@toysoldier46552]

For grins, I started a Navazgane map to see the changes and did this after creating a custom map. No beginning quests "Bedroll etc." And no beginning points, no water or chili to start with. It gave me a level 5 shovel, a few building materials including stone blocks, and no marker to a trader. Since you streamers get early access to these alphas, I thought it might be helpful if you guys would test this. If not, my game is bugged and I'm going to have to do the hard reinstall again.

[@KO-sx9uy]

My navazgane map started normal

[@elevown]

Then dont play on navesgame

[@endlesspixels9980]

Very useful and well researched video! Thanks I learned a lot.

[@titanmaximum239]

Great work, GNS.

[@popsfishing]

cool! I like how they design the difficulty on multiplayer

[@Dimples7774]

Firts, that base like always looks great! So much appreciation for this info! Now im gonna have to watch and replay several times to do all those calculations since im building day 7 base just inside the wasteland 🤦‍♀️

[@Ekhonaq]

do things that cause "heat" still have to be placed by a player or does the POI items (torches, burn barrels, the new fire traps, ect.) now cause it as well?

[@JustChillinOnThe5thFloor]

Havent played A21 yet. I don't think so cause of world chunks(certain amount of size of land) arent really active unless your around. Trader stations always have burning things like torches and barrels. But there has never been a screamer Before I arrive.

[@majorredbeard]

Fantastic information, thanks so much!

[@chaos00174]

liked subbed and commented great video amazing editing and took tons of work. great job man you deserve a lot more subs

[@TheHoardingPeon]

Very informative! I liked it !

[@mattb896]

My first playthrough I wanted to do no death so I went spear and rifles (roughly A18). Day 3 I was feeling good. Had a T3 hunting rifle. Running the 1.8km for my jobs (don't miss that...), and I get a zombie bear and dog horde. I lived totally taking no damage because one shot weapons deal perfectly with fast moving enemies in the hands of beginners... heh...

[@Chunkyzar]

*Supportive comment to reward and encourage hard work. Appreciated!

[@kraevgames]

Great video, Tem! It's worth mentioning that while powered lights don't generate heat, the power itself does. Also, in previous alphas, 100% heat only had a chance* to spawn screamers. I think it was like 75%. Is that still the case, or is it a guarantee now?

[@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK]

Your game graphics looks so much better than mine even though I have all settings maxed !

[@lanneren]

Very helpful video, thank you!

[@SouthJerseySkids]

appreciate the videos lad.

[@RO_The_Hated]

Do the new "fire traps" in pois generate heat as well? I could see this being an issue if you are squatting in a poi and there are fire traps in the loaded chunk.

[@JourneymanDreaming]

Guns, NERDs, and Steel 😊

[@breeedwards857]

Thank you for that video!

[@roquepardal]

This is just awesome content! TYSM

[@calebshort2169]

my buddy an i were playing a game day 18 horde every three days we build a horde base in the snow to take advantage of that sweet loot bonus not knowing any of this. our horde base was ripped to shreds by the first way which was all radiated and had two demolishers in it
