Multiplayer on 7 Days to Die

[Rekim]

I see the server is back to day 1 at 07:00. Still Navezgane map, so probably happened on its own again.

Hi Guys, I'm back. 

Let me know if you want me to do anything to the server.  Go back to random map?  Make zombies harder?

Hi AT
What settings are there to make it harder? Is it like single player increasing the volume of zombies. Either way my vote is for yes increasing volume and going back to random, the stock map is way small. There still is some FPS drops with large hordes sporadically though.
Thank you sir.

Thank you sir.

Here is the config file (blanked some of the password info).  It is pretty easy to tweak.  Just need to stop the server, then make the changes to the config file.  Gameservers.com has a nice utility to let you do that easily.  For the FPS problem, I can drop the max number of zombies.

 I'm for bumping up the spawn mode to 4=125% and increasing the sense memory to 60 and leaving the max spawn at 80. I'm ready to roll with the map reset any time everyone else is.

[OJsDad]

Go for it!

[-budd-]

anyone know if you can turn off the tutorial stuff?

[OJsDad]

I do not.

[Rekim]

I'm ready for the reset.

Won't be able to join in on the festivities for a couple more days. Zeds better watch out next weekend when my summer vacation starts though

Temp base up, damn forgot to write the coordinates. Hub city at 0.0 base is north west of hub about 10:00, it's in the snow biome but right on the edge of the wastelands, on a hill. It's about a beer from the hub city. Well lit, but I planted trees around the base.

I found what looks like a prison on the good side of the dead zone border.  Never seen that construct before.  Ready made for defense.  Thick walls, guard towers.  But no water nearby as far as I can tell.  As a matter of fact, having trouble finding water in general...

Nice, never seen that before either. where's it at, using the hub as reference. OJ and I arent far from the hub in the snow biome, so water's no problem, there's a crap load of lakes close by also. There's 5 different biome close by. I'm currently on walk about holing up quite a ways north west from our base in the desert, im looking for the western town to base in. Nothing like being on walk about and dying and having to go all the way back for your backpack .... i drop a bag at suitable locations along the way, well if i remember too.
