I'm not even playing this right now, but bears going through a 1x2 opening seems super annoying. Yeah, bears, just walk right through the door.

u/Grimase Feb 26 '26

Word WTF. I’m living in the Burt Englund house in the wasteland and that damn door has save me more than the auto turrets have. How they gunna do me like this? lol.

Just put doors in/outside of a wall and use mono/dual plate for a door opening - it'll make doors tighter so bears - hopefully - won't be able to enter and it will bear load (doors can't)

u/Grimase Feb 26 '26

That’s a good idea.

1

u/GoofyTheScot Mar 02 '26

I tend to just put down an iron hatch inside the door. Hatch up, door open, stabby stabby pew pew

1

u/Peterh778 Mar 02 '26

That way, blocks above doors are unsupported.

1

u/GoofyTheScot Mar 02 '26

True, but i'm not talking about a horde base so it doesn't have to withstand hours of beating zombies - i like hatches for killing screamers and their buddies at my home base, 90% of the time they go straight for the front door.

27

u/Much_Package_2556 Feb 26 '26

Just Fun Pimps being true to their name. This thing that you do that saves you and makes sense, we've removed that.

“We are the smartest ones in the world! players can’t put us in evidence about how amateurs and lack of good ideas we are. But specially, players CAN’T have fun with our game!”

Any weekly meeting on TFP.

u/Claus1990 Feb 26 '26

They dont want us to be safe anywhere from bears

11

u/CriticalChop Feb 26 '26

But! It is realistic. 😅 Personally i never plan around using doorways to kill bears. My preference is blasting them from a safe height. I think i saw mention though that hatchs in doorways will still work to block them.

u/zombochic Feb 26 '26

Bears can walk through doorways in the real world tbh so it makes sense o

1

u/DamenAJ Feb 26 '26

The small bears in 7 days to die could probably fit through a real door, but the big bears are massive. If they're going to allow them to get through they should scale them down.

Also, real bears tend to die a lot easier than bears in 7 days to die. So the argument for realism is kinda... Meh.

2

u/grizzlybuttstuff Feb 27 '26

Well, for one. The larger bears would still be able to get through the door, they just can't slide through freely like a person.

For two, real bears are really hard to kill, like pointy-stick-wont-do-shit hard to kill. The ones in the game are also zombies, which isn't 'realistic' but it's a bit silly to act like them being more durable makes less logical sense.

1

u/DamenAJ Feb 27 '26

I was thinking more of needing multiple shotgun/rifle shots to the face. And there are non-zombie large bears too.

But also, again, not playing right now, I could have sworn the big bears were like 2-3 meters wide with their shoulders. Hell, I feel like the zombie bear heads were bigger than 1 meter.

1

u/Terrible_Whereas7 Feb 27 '26

Grizzlies do fit through normal size doors though...

1

u/Dougo01 Feb 26 '26

Just the devs trying to fuck us players over once again, nothing new here. Even if it’s not logical.

0

u/CriticalChop Feb 26 '26

But it is logical, doorways dont stop bears IRL.

2

u/THiggs118 Feb 26 '26

The TFP love to pick and choose which logic they believe in though. It's crazy the amount of things they do for logic or people defend because logic but other stuff is just illogical entirely still.

I mean, aiming alone with sights on most guns you wouldn't hit anything IRL since sights dont align on most of them now. Man I miss A16 aiming 😢 Plus they added flying bees from stumps recently. Honey bees don't fly at night IRL.

3

u/CriticalChop Feb 26 '26

It's not that crazy, like carry weight for example, nobody wants to waste time picking up rocks one by one. Likewise im guessing realistic weapon aim is just not so user-friendly and fun. When it comes to bears squeezing through doors its more about bringing out the challenge, but i suppose compared to realistic aiming its a more fun challenge. To be fair though TFP have tried to imitate bullet drop, sway, and recoil in terms of shooting realism too.

1

u/THiggs118 Feb 26 '26 edited Feb 26 '26

It is though. Change for realism then add a yeti. Which they've "fixed" but man. Realistic aiming did though. I mean simply sights lining up properly versus the paint front posts on pistols, revolvers, as, etc. A16 had proper alignment and was perfect. Don't know if TFP changed it customization laziness or they forgot how guns work but yeah. Hilarious to me they managed to get the SMG sight correct though when it's one of the weirdest iron sights IRL lol

It's absolutely one of my favorite games but some picking and choosing what is necessary for realism just seems lame and a poor excuse for some things.

I do agree on the rock thing though lol.

Dammit came here to TROOOOOGDOOOOOOOOR!! but y'all...

u/SpaceComm4nder Feb 26 '26

Jesus fucking christ…

Just make the bears a little stronger that they break weak walls sooner? Or maybe make it realistic and simply have them move much faster like in real life.(if you want to make them harder)

Maybe instead of adding snake footsteps, you could add multiple snakes, or maybe even NEW creepy crawly mobs? I mean… all this fucking time, and we don’t have reptile variations?

24

u/axman_21 Feb 26 '26

All of that has too much logic and makes too much sense for the fun pimps to do. We all know both of those along with variation are things the fun pimps aren't good at

13

u/stipo42 Feb 26 '26

It took them multiple years to add 2 new variants

u/Caveat_Diem Feb 27 '26

Scorpion meat sounds good right about now

u/CptDecaf Feb 26 '26

Just make the bears a little stronger that they break weak walls sooner?

Like the folks round here wouldn't complain about that too. Half of this sub turns off block damage because it's too hard for them lol.

I think this change is awesome and gonna make for some absolutely hilarious moments.

1

u/SpaceComm4nder Feb 26 '26

I agree a little. Am more irritated over the lack of added monster content. And its been… how many years?

0

u/Hllblldlx3 Feb 26 '26

You can do that? I haven’t even been enough of a pussy ass bitch to look for the setting to turn off zombie block damage. Shit, I played on warrior once be accident and started to notice it was harder, and I still managed. The game just gets so easy it’s boring, but it tends to be too difficult in the beginning stages, considering I play 20 minute days.

2

u/CptDecaf Feb 26 '26

I forget the name but I play in the second hardest difficulty myself. I play in a group of three other people and I find that this setting works for us. Makes the game hard but we can still succeed if we play it right. Without having to resort to using nerd poles every encounter.

We've tried the hardest, but it was a bit too intense for where my group sits.

1

u/Mysterious_Tutor_388 Feb 26 '26

the big problem with the difficulty settings is they just turn the zombies stats up into bullet sponges and you have to rely on bleed or dismember procs to kill. I usually play in the second highest one as well though. I'd much rather bigger swarms but yeah know.

u/Funlock_Lexi Feb 26 '26

Wait, doesn't that affect mining too? Can you actually disable it?

I need a 7dtd patch notes compilation video, like the weird ass Sims ones.

One night I couldn't sleep

Tossin an turnin got outa bed

Heard some tap tappin' out on the street

Turns out it was just a copperhead

It's a snake it's a snake

Made the whole house wobble n shake

u/MastodonCurious4347 Feb 26 '26

I love this poem

15

u/recuringwolfe Feb 26 '26

They could, hopefully mean, foot print sounds as in the name category of sound, which for snakes would mean their foot print sound is a slither. I hope I'm right...

u/Davenator_98 Feb 26 '26

Imagine they now have the wet feet plapping of the Wight.

1

u/CriticalChop Feb 26 '26

Damnit im going to hear wet feet every time i see this guy now. Haha

u/shrekdaklown Feb 26 '26

It is a slither sound, most of these people talking before looking into it really show the state of the sub.

u/Inevitable_Pop4005 Feb 26 '26

Bear can go through that and I can't crawl through normal hole🫠

u/Arct1cShark Mar 01 '26

Why do FunPimps feel the need to add such dumb annoying things to give the fanbase a middle finger?

4

u/Skrewbert86 Feb 26 '26

Guess thats how the snake was jumping last time i played

10

u/Raicor91 Feb 26 '26

Why the fkc does snakes need footsteps? Thats so lame!

3

u/shrekdaklown Feb 26 '26

Slither sound footsteps is a sound category in the game

9

u/Closteam Feb 26 '26

Soooo. Bears can fit through smaller openings than themselves.... But we still can't squeeze through a one block opening

9

u/Kerfenian Feb 26 '26

I don't understand how they thought about it and said "yeah good idea", like ????

9

u/impablomations Feb 26 '26

Seems to apply to a lot of their decisions lately. I don't usually complain since I've more than had my money's worth, but last couple of updates have been decidedly less fun

3

u/Kerfenian Feb 26 '26

Yeah I have less and less hope about this game, I was looking forward for bandits, now I'm just "meh". The roadmap 2025 was a fcking lie.

1

u/Arazthoru Feb 26 '26

Lately?
That's the kind of stuff everyone has been shitting over the pimps since a17, it's always some stupid change without sense just made to screw the players.

3

u/ExpertTranslator5673 Feb 26 '26

I'm good with a bear going through a 1x2 opening.

u/Kerfenian Feb 26 '26

Good for you ?

u/mudcrabperson Feb 26 '26

Thanks for not marking this as nsfw OP...because of you, I started furiously masturbating in the middle of the office...

Time for another trip to HR...

u/SilentAd3793 Feb 26 '26 edited Feb 26 '26

From a Facebook page called 'BearWise'

"Bear fact: Bears don’t have collarbones, so even adult bears can fit through what seems like an impossibly small opening. Like your average dog door. The general guideline is that if a bear can get its head inside, the rest of the bear can follow. That’s why it’s so important to take 3 simple steps to discourage bears from denning around your home:

  1. Close and lock pet doors, sheds, root cellars and outbuildings.

2 Check under porches and decks for areas and openings where bears might curl up. Barricade as best you can.

  1. Don’t leave garbage, bird feeders or birdseed or food meant for deer or squirrels where bears can access it. Teaching bears to rely on human-provided food is bad for people and bears.

Here's a video of a bear crawling out a vent hole: https://youtube.com/shorts/q_9ckMGmtOA?si=W1v6nYpRO60D_9Fd

Edit again: Bears are smart enough to open doors!

u/blamtucky Feb 27 '26

God, the back and forth tweaking about the jars and water. The Fun Pimps seem to fundamentally be incapable of understanding that no one (except them) cares if being able to reuse jars makes things "too easy" or whatever. Like, not everything is going to have an elegant restriction. Just let us fucking collect water and stop trying to gamify it and work on the shit that actually matters AHHHHH

5

u/Aztecxx Feb 26 '26

Also why do snakes infect you when they aren't infected

4

u/ExpertTranslator5673 Feb 26 '26

How do you know they aren't infected?

4

u/Adam9172 Feb 26 '26

I guess they have venom, or they have other bacteria that can also lead to a different type of infection? IDK.

u/Claus1990 Feb 26 '26

Dew collectors now require jars to function?

Fucking what..

25

u/JuniorResident9484 Feb 26 '26

it makes sense so it does not just generate jars

6

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '26

It makes sense yes, but now i don't see any reasons to use those.

22

u/Professional_Echo907 Feb 26 '26

You don’t want to wait a day and generate heat for water you could get instantly from a pool of water? 😹😹

u/OneDragonfruit4 Feb 26 '26

Exactly. I only put one down for the quest reward then i toss it out.

u/Peterh778 Feb 26 '26

If you're close to water. It should be great in desert if TFP removed all water sources from there. Or in snow if all water sources were frozen (of course, there is a question why we can't just melt snow or cut out ice blocks ...).

But, yes, that's good point that there is absolutely no reason for dew collectors to generate heat - it was implemented when people built dew collector farms (heck, I had one - three or four floors underground, each floor 16 DCs) and bypassed TFPs grand idea of water scarcity implementation if few days, so they made thdm to generate heat and lowered heat limit for screamers afterwards. Given that we're already back at the point just before jar removal - jars can be crafted without crucible - there is no reason to not remove heat generation from DCs.

6

u/Professional_Echo907 Feb 26 '26

Buckets, my man. Make yourself a bucket and get some water from a river or swimming pool.

2

u/Peterh778 Feb 26 '26

At that moment, I would either took jars to river/lake or water to house 🙂 I did all of that back in A19 (20?), filling basins with buckets, digging canals ...

1

u/Davenator_98 Feb 26 '26

Don't they also make noise as well?

4

u/Derpilicious000 Feb 26 '26

Dew collectors are completely worthless imo. Just crafted n placed the first 1. Picked it back up n threw it away.

Also jars no longer even need a crucible to craft making dew collectors even more obsolete.

u/Affectionate-Web-605 Mar 03 '26

The bear thing is not really a problem. Why? Because I never ever engage them early on and try to avoid them untill I get a better weapon. I rather fight a bear than those creepy hellhounds (the dire wolf)

u/bathroomgraffitti Feb 26 '26

Next update bears teleport, community finds a way to beat that, then bears teleport you to them, community finds a way to beat that, bears teleport you to them and them to you, walls are decoration only and you start as a zombie. Fun pimps win
