*** Official 7 Days to Die Thread ***

Yeah finally done took them ages I think it was due to a lot of people needing a complete reinstall to get it downloaded.

Anyway server is up and running now, changed land claim to 20x20 as well. So we finally have Alpha 9 and random maps.
 
Different server now? No longer CPC? I have the old one in my favourites, but it says it needs a password now, and it appears to not have a name?
 
The server is called Land of the Dead the ip and Port are the same though, you can find password info here:

Game has far to many hackers and 0 hacker protection to keep it open when people are not around. Sad that we need to password it but we do :/

It is good but the infinite map imo is to much. The game will make biomes as you reach them and from what I understand will go on forever it will just keep generating biomes until you run out of HDD space (server space). I agree random gen is the way to go for this game but the map does need a size limit. Otherwise people walk for miles and you will hardly see anyone, unless you all build at spawn, everyone spawns pretty close.
 
I bought 5 copies of this in the sale for our org as it seems like a fun group game.

Got a couple of questions though...

1) Im hosting a server for us at the moment, and once it was up and we were in, for some reason the 2 members who were able to join (2 unable due to separate hardware problems) would seemingly have their landscape stop. Its like the server stopped streaming landscape data to the client. If they walk into it, they're locked in there. The one time that happened, he was right with me and fortunately able to build a sleeping bag and quit.
The cost of dedicated server slots seems cheap, so this may be the route we take anyway (£3.75 for 5 slots for a month, cant complain) but it'd be nice to figure out a few things like this first.

2) I cant for the life of me understand how things are saved. I see theres a client save file, and for a dumb while i thought maybe its all client-side... but if im alone and doing stuff, leave the server and then later on someone else joins, it has to know whats changed, so it cant possibly be entirely client side either. I cant find a file created or modified today (90min into the day helps) aside from client saves, server config info, and thats about it.

3) We had 10.1 earlier, and 10.2 released after we'd had about an hour together in there. I had to restart the server in order to connect to it (after updating both). I appear to be back at day 1 8am again.
Witcher, you mentioned trying to get the host to implement a backup feature due to potential disruption on there. Is there already such a feature which i can do as its entirely local? I've no idea if things get progressively worse as the days go on, or if its all fairly meaningless beyond day/night influences.

4) We're playing with a password on, we just want to play ourselves really, at least for now. As the servers clock keeps moving, is our house going to get attacked when we're all offline and night comes? I've got things on extremely tame at the moment, but eventually we'll want a challenge too. Is there a way to have the clock stopped when we're not online?

Im enjoying it so far, probably need to tweak the settings as we havent had hordes come to us, our base seems fairly peaceful (no night, time is moving pretty slowly) but hopefully we'll find a nice balance.
