Yeah 3 years too long, but it cost me £10 on a sale and i have played a few hundred hours of it. Whilst not finished it is still a good game, just missing a few things to make it a great one.
Any 7 Days to die players here

Correct, but it's not on it's own... Rust, DayZ, Project Zomboid, Space Engineers and 7 Days to Die all came out within a few weeks of each other and are all still early access.

Hmm, I didnt even know there were frozen lumberjack zombies, have yet to encounter them. Looks like I have a bit more exploring to do, thanks.

Yeah like with most games it's not going to be for everyone and it sure does feel like it's taking it's sweet time but the updates are usually substantial and add a lot of content. Plus 3 years of alpha and numerous updates has given a lot of player trust in the dev's that they won't just cut support before it's even finished.
Made a hot tub, because priorities
. 
Steel wall around base with vault doors and iron bar walkway that you can shoot the zombies through. Works well, but the horde is no longer a threat as they cant get through that lot. We need a boss or something for the late game...

That hot tub look's awesome haha yeah i remember scavenging in a hub city and the sound effect kept making me thing their was a huge monster stomping through the city haha that might be cool.
Ive yet to find hub city, but found a few small towns which are full of loot. Diersville I think one was.
Its a bit gutting knowing i'll have to redo it all once A15 is out though, hoping it wont break the save but from what i have read it probably will.
I watched a video by frankieonpc on youtube of one of the first builds of the game and its amazing how far its come. Looks so much better in the latest build and the next patch should tart it up a it more with distant terrain and some other things. Really looking forward to the new points of interest they are adding as well, so will be more exploring to do.

yeah i started playing in about alpha 6 or 7 at first i felt similarly to you about losing my save. I kept my save for a couple alpha until it was unusable haha but i've found it keeps it fresh starting again after a big update to rediscover everything and build up from nothing i just hate the short period just before an update where you want to play but you don't want to start anything because it could be all gone in a couple weeks.

you could if you really wanted to start a new alpha and go into god mod and spawn in everything you had and rebuild your base and i think you can increase your levels from the command comsol but don't quote me on that.
Now thats a good idea! I love the building part, but the grinding to get materials is a chore to redo.
I wouldnt mind having to re level and find weapons again. i quite like that part of the game and its starting to feel a little stagnant with an almost fully leveled character with all the top weapons. It would be great to maybe have a quest line to do or progressively larger and tougher hordes as it gets to a point where you're untouchable in your fortified base. Even if i just sat in my hottub with a glass of red tea until morning they wouldnt get through the walls lol.

lol yeah things to get slow late game i just try to find projects to keep me busy like and underground garage or something haha. I've spent a little time on the new a15 experimental build i just hope they can get performance worked out at some point got an i7 6700k and gtx 1080 both overclocked and i can't keep a steady framerate at high setting. I done some benchmarks yesterday and performance is even worse in a15 but i'm confident they will sort it out in one of the next patches.
Looks good speeduk. I had loads of spikes at first, but it made it too hard to collect all the loot after a big horde. So now i just have 2 layers of fully upgraded iron spikes then a layer of sacrificial wood spikes i can chop down to reach the loot.
BTW these iron bars are amazing, you can make a walkway around your perimeter that you can walk on and shoot through! At first we kept falling off the wall trying to hit the zombies
. They dont save you from boomers blowing themselves up though, unless you made the walls higher, mine are a bit low, but I like to be able to jump off the wall without breaking my legs.
campbellh24, are achievements enabled in A15?
