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.

[@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 😂👍🏾

[@funnierthanyaman]

@@dejuren1367 think again

[@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.

[@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

[@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"

[@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.

[@SCMorgan]

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

[@gibs9731]

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

[@vetheros]

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

[@Sissybee52]

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

[@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

[@SCMorgan]

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!

[@bjordan2451]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@GlitterPixi3]

Very in depth. Thank you!

[@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.

[@Varmint260]

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

[@CrabClownJimmy]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@Simon-ss8pe]

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

[@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

[@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

[@thevalkyries8680]

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

[@treywilliams5400]

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

[@kuriea552]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@Mr.Anderson__]

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

[@jonnyc4744]

Did I mention explosions... Nice one 😂

[@shkotayd9749]

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

[@chrisbug2647]

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

[@rimtuuktheogre8976]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@dalewhite2253]

Kudos to the huge effort and quality of the video! Just interested as to whether you, or anyone else knows how many of the calculations have carried over? Some of it seems sort of familiar and I was wondering if the whole system has had a makeover, or just subtle tweaks

[@skylava_]

Definitely a little late but I can confirm the demo zombies on day 14 horde night. Couple buddies and me were raiding a shameway foods factory in the wasteland and got distracted by the time we were done it was 21:20 and we were 2km from base with bicycles. Most of up picked up our stuff and just respawned at the hose base but it appears the calculation is only done once in the biome where you are when 22:00 kicks off. Yeah the horde base made of cobblestone didn’t stand a chance. 3 demos made very short work of it. But this was very educational. Thanks!

[@WonderbreadXz]

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

[@Beans168]

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

[@scruffygaming627]

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

[@jedimosiah8666]

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

[@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.

[@Wiedadde]

A question: if players are not in a group/allied, is their gamestage individual or is there no difference? Very informative, subbed :)

[@luissantiago5163]

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

[@stacyhylton1607]

Nicely done! Thanks for the Horde Night overview.

[@AimSmallFragHigh]

This was very helpful in understanding how horde day works.

[@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!!

[@urbsnova6205]

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

[@H3nnyofficial]

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

[@jonathanlee7355]

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

[@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

[@Bushcaddy620MP]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@gbwillson]

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

[@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.

[@Maeda_Miakoda_Gaming]

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

[@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.

[@endlesspixels9980]

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

[@chaos00174]

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

[@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).

[@demoniccrunk]

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

[@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.

[@JourneymanDreaming]

Guns, NERDs, and Steel 😊

[@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!

[@titanmaximum239]

Great work, GNS.

[@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.

[@TheHoardingPeon]

Very informative! I liked it !

[@josesolorzano1349]

Your last example applied to me but i was on day 7 instead of 14, i built my horde base on the parking lot of a tier 5 POI

[@majorredbeard]

Fantastic information, thanks so much!

[@1tsyabo170]

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

[@michaelclark8819]

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

[@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?

[@lanneren]

Very helpful video, thank you!

[@lenprice2014]

I’m day 136 and I’ve just been chased out of my base by a crazy wandering horde. Then they hung around and I had to do some sniping. And this is Pine Forest biome - I was thinking to move to the desert, but not any more!

[@pjsandbourbon]

As big fans of your Channel, thanks for diving deep into the stats of the game. It's very informative and we appreciate you taking the time and putting in the effort. I have a couple of questions that hopefully you can answer for us. Has the 'Hit Box' been changed with the Zombies in Alpha 21? It seems they have a longer reach to be able to hit you now. Also, unlike some of the mods like Darkness Falls where the name of the Zombie and their Hit Points are listed, has there been a change in the Zombies Hit Points in this new Alpha? Again, it seems they are harder to kill now or have weapons been debuffed so they are not as effective in killing the Zombies? Looking forward to hearing back from you with your thoughts.

[@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.

[@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 🤦‍♀️

[@manemperorofmankind8119]

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

[@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.

[@Chunkyzar]

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

[@SouthJerseySkids]

appreciate the videos lad.

[@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK]

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

[@eggsngaming]

2:25 such a satisfying moment.

[@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

[@Lookadragon]

Informative video! Thanks.

[@igadoon]

Great video, thanks!

[@breeedwards857]

Thank you for that video!

[@lordofPockets]

Tem, you are truly a pillar in this community

[@fd3spark677]

Such helpful information! I had a question though that I don’t seem to see anybody having experimented with and was curious if perhaps you had: in a multiplayer setting, on horde night, how “close” do players need to be in order for them to be considered “in close proximity”? Building on that, if two players (one level 150 and another level 50) are in separate locations (outside whatever the close proximity distance is) does the horde split between the two and would the level 50 see the GS50 horde?

[@Isinofre]

Excellent! Thank you! 💖💖
