wow, this might literally be the best beginners tips video i've seen for any survival game. quick and to-the-point delivery of information, meticulous use of visual examples highlighting what is being discussed, and it also serves as a great reference for experienced players to come back to for quick and easy information. In particular, i'm thankful for your loadout overviews when discussing optimal setups for trading and mining. Amazing work!!!

Or, as I have done introduced Rekt to some new pet, mainly radiated bear and a few wolves. The pets were upset that rekt didn't pet them. So rekt is a bad pet owner

[@Neobreaker]

Scrapping the engine for those 30 mechanical parts was a really good tip, getting those starting pieces for the workbench can be rather frustrating sometimes.

That's why I'm always going into harvesting/getting crap tons of resources in one click then > combat.

I've put over a thousand hours into this game starting at alpha 12 and I'm still learning new things. Thanks!

I love when experienced creators make guide videos like this- I've been playing 7 days for years and still learned a few things (I never would have thought to craft a bunch of minibike handlebars to sell to traders!). Great video!

[@ralphmouth4280]

Nice tip about the bucket 17:45

[@sayachesgaenox3759]

11:07 You can get a lot more radiators by wrenching them inside houses. It's much faster than cars as you can get them while questing and a single house can give you 3 or 4 radiators (go for the Owen's Residence, it's got 8 radiators inside for a T1 POI)

I've got 3,800 hours of 7D2D under my belt and I haven't learned a thing. But man, I've been sitting at my table and listening word for word to everything you've said. You explain so well that I could listen to you talk for hours about what I already know :)

[@Archaten]

Ah, so that explains why my first ever horde night was pure hell. Definitely making a new home outside of the desert before day 14 lmao

[@Variantee.]

I’ve just started playing 7 Days so I’ve not been watching for too long but I watched all of Vanguard, and am on stream 5 of Last Man. You explained how long you’ve worked on this video and to watch at .25 speed (jokingly ik) but I respect the amount of effort so I plan on watching what I need then replaying it at .25! You deserve the watch time!

[@ItaAndyOfficial]

about to hit 1900 hrs on this game, and here I am watching a beginner's guide lol never hurts to learn something new/understand something better..you never know

[@stevedixon921]

Lots of solid advice in this one. I'd consider making the fighting block longer by one pole block so you can queue up two zeds at a time (maybe not for beginners), and injured and slow zeds like Boe or the Tourist simply fall off.

[@sydneyhunter2807]

Another helpful tip to make endgame progression take longer to complete is to make block damage and loot abundance 25% along with the XP gained being 25% I only recommend it if you want the progression of the game to actually take hundreds of hours to complete everything. I mention this because in just a couple of in game weeks you can essentially get endgame gear. I'd recommend messing around with the settings to find that sweet spot but having it like this makes it so after 10 or 15 hours of gameplay you're not at endgame instantly and have unlimited resources.

[@gdgd5194]

I have a useful tip too for this finished and polished game: break your arm, that way it will be more challenging to play this finished and obviously very polished game 😂

[@Setixir]

@@sydneyhunter2807 I have no clue how you play on those settings. That seems nightmarish .

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Speaking of crafting while you're gone, one tip to reduce clicking while adding fuel to crafting stations is to just put your variable helper shapes into the fuel slots. They're built with 2 wood each so it is half the clicking to stock them with fuel. Also, beyond searching purses and toilets for guns/knives, outdoor grills can supply knives while Mo' Power boxes can drop Stun Batons. E.g. in my last playthrough I found a tier 2 Stun Baton on day 1.

[@Duhastmage]

Not sure if it's the server I am playing on, but I noticed you can actually stack the pocket mods. You can mix and match Quad pocket, triple pocket, double and single pocket mods all on one piece. This should help with saving the extra points to pack mule. Give it a shot and let me know!

[@MrNajsman]

This is default in 1.0. You just can't have more than 1 of the same type on a single piece of armor.

I love your 7 days content, been playing for a couple of weeks now, but watching your vids for several months. I prefer your series, 10 - 20 hours. I'm not into the stuff with p-in-p, it takes away from immersion (the recent streams). I know others enjoy that, but I normally skip past any gaming streams with p-in-p. I still watch, well, listen. I turn the picture off and just enjoy the commentary. GNS my go to for 7 days. 🏆🍻🏆😎

[@toby152]

Definitely earned my sub: Concise, easily digested info

[@MrMagyar5]

I've been doing a few tests for the best way to make dukes passively as you play the game and what I've learned is that scavenging cars with the scavenger set and selling the items you get, namely radiators, engines, and headlights to the trader makes for a LOT of easy dukes. I've got over 100K dukes with no points in Better Barterer and only using the Enforcer glasses and a Sugar Butts candy. I thought dukes would be difficult in 1.0, but the Perception tree, Scavenger set, and a decent tool make dukes beyond easy. I am pleasantly surprised at how great some of these sets are. I thought the bonuses were kinda meh, but I've been testing them in game on Tier Vi POI's and some of those set bonuses are fantastic.

[@rawgage7]

Hey Tem, at minute 18:00 with the endless water drinking hack, you could've added that you can over drink as much as you want to delay getting thirsty; ie. 60 units = 1 minute; 600 units = 10 minutes; 6000 units = 100 minutes of not needing to drink! (I spent an entire night drinking like this to see if it would reach a cap and lost patience after 6000 because it was over 20 mins of clicking "e" to drink.)

@@josheoXD I never found out where I'm not interested in sitting there clicking on "e" for longer than 20 minutes... but, I will say with 6000 units of hydration in my avatar, I didn't have to drink the entire next day, Lol

[@zazoreal5536]

Quick starter build intelligence based. (Better barter) +(Daring adventurer)+(Living off the land "fortitude") Harvest red plants early game and sell. Also harvest any plastic like tires and sell what you don't need to use. Don't horde items early game... grab the valuable stuff. Try to get a wrench or make one asap and sell car parts.

[@johnmyers7347]

Thanks for taking all the time you do in making your videos! Great work and very entertaining and most of all very helpful. Also by the way love the random Wheel! You can do a lot of interesting game play videos with that idea. Maybe Spin each time for each Skill Point you get.

[@blazeburner303]

my friends and I usually just become a L4D crew during hoard night, just picking a far off location and then start running through the night, makes hoard night a very energetic situation and often times allows us to farm XP without cost to the base and let's be honest... who doesn't like running and gunning?

[@normmuelleman2570]

Great video Tem! I like to run around with the full scavenger set on, along with a ranger hat in my ride for bartering. I then will swap out a horde armor mixed bag. But I liked how you broke down the loot amount percentages.

[@stevdor6146]

6:32 my Tip is about Buried Supplies missions, not sure if it still works in 1.0 but you know how the locked treasure boxes from treasure maps disappear after you open them? well the Buried Supplies cache doesn't disappear, so if you mark the food/supply cache on your map and return after a week, the loot respawn will refill the buried supplies and give you free food.

[@randyvowles4170]

honestly only thing I would add to what I see for beginner tips is not to put your stations as close as you did in the example as you wont be able to put a land claim block close enough to be able to pick them back up. im cheap and prefer not trying to rebuild them

[@lisas4942]

[@wizzardrincewind9458]

For Beginners: Look down, jump and in the air place a block under you (timing). That is very usefull and you can see it in this video. To get money dig down at night and get stone. I think 6000 stone = 1200 dukes. Water is very important. You can find it, buy it, make it with the dew collector. If you drink murky water in a bottle or with your hands from a river or something, you can get ill. Yellow tea can heal that. And there is the very usefull mod for your helmet: Water Purifier Mod. With it you can drink murky water.

These Tips are nice and dandy but i never felt the need to min max traders. Especially in 1.0 the traders inventory is crap, so questing and looting is the better way even on the hardest difficulty

[@tiorast6802]

also change the trader you are on since sticking with rekt is a bit weak compare to other specially if you keep buying food from the machines and you know others offer something way more usefull during quest like Jen sells D r u g s, Bob can help you with bases and probably get a early minibike / bike, hugh and i start blasting, Joel armor goes bling bling but be aware of the wasteland early... quick note, hugh can sell weapons mods you could crucially need for guns and joel mods for armor like attributes one, night vision, purificator etc

It took me awhile on console to figure out all the buttons. Took me forever to figure out how to place items on the ground and to use an item like eating food or drinking. It’s the triggers on PS5 console. Figuring out what buttons do what and trying to memorize them was the hardest part. It takes a couple of buttons just to craft, etc. PC is easier that way. Gotta get that muscle memory up.

[@wizardgaming758]

Better Former, or Better Farmer, lol. Great base too by the way. Would love to see this taken to mid-late gate stage at some point. Personally, with the mining, I don't bother with the outfit. It's just a hassle. I tend to just mine whatever I need from random construction piles, or bolders. Also, with regard to the due collectors, I think they are a waste of time. I gather up a whole bunch of murky water and boil it in the campfire. It's much quicker, and less expensive.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

The thing with Dew Collectors is having the mod that doubles the yield. I think it is the 'Tarp'. Then you'll get 6 Murky Water every day on top of whatever you scrounged up. That adds up to a lot of extra Duct Tape.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

Prior to 1.0 I had never even seen a direwolf, so having one replace a normal wolf when I reset the Animal Hoarder POI during a new run was a really nasty trick while I was still using the base club and pipe guns. Even with a T1 shotgun and machinegun, the wide hitbox really does screw with conventional horde base construction, so I'll be eager to see how you dealt with them in your hoard base vid to come.
