Dec 25, 2016 In this 7 days to die farming guide i will show you the basics about farming crops on pc, xbox one and ps4. Consoles are currently on alpha 14 and farming is not entirely the same but it's close.
Information:Features:Crop harvesting, animal breeding, extensive processing of foods to reach their final forums, resulting in useful buffs.Fully implemented and sorted all from the Farmers Table.is a compliment to farming for 7 Days to Die. Everything in vanilla remains EXACTLY the same. No original food items or crops are used in this modlet. There is no revamp to the core games water/hunger meters, or their settings.
Due to TFP's amazing and outstand work with balance changes, for now I'd like to start basic, and introduce the backbone to this modlet project. As update progress slows down, and areas of the game become more stable and solid, I will expand further, touching vanilla aspects with this modlet. For now, and the sake of all my work, I like to code completely (or mostly) independently from TFP's core code, with as little set, direct append, before or after xpath commands. Everything written should function completely fine through each update TFP throws out, provided minor tweaks on my end are made along the way.WORKSTATIONS:. Farm Table: Everything about this modlet stems from this table.
It is the entire lifeblood behind the mod. From here, you will be able to craft everything needed to be a successful farmer!
From tools, to workbenches, to animals, to seeds!COOKING. Smoker: Our primary cooking station for high end meats. Grill: One of a kind, beauty, freshly lifted from the back of a truck outside Home Depot.
The worlds ended, who's going to care? Lets grill some sausages and burgers!. Oven: Pies, breakfast sandwiches, dried fruits!
If it's baked, its done here!PROCESSING. Grain Processor: This is where we bring our grains to grind them down into powders, and mix doughs. Wine Cask: Who doesn't love some toilet wine? But we're a little more evolved then that now. Pinkies out, time for some classy drinks. Dairy Churn: Primary table for all things dairy.
Process milk into butters, creams, cheeses and other essentials. Butcher Table: This is where we chop up all our meat into fine select cuts fit for cooking delicious meals.
Any ol' idiot can shoot a chicken and toss it's body into a fire. But we want something a bit, more home fresh.ANIMALS.
Chicken Coop: Chicken coops are used for Egg and Feather production, as well as breeding Fertile Eggs that will hatch and grow into full chickens!. Cow: Ol' Bessy here has seen some shit. For real, you see how fucked up that farmer zombie is?
She's scared shitless, but she still makes great milk, and breeds wonderful calfs for slaughter!. Pig: Good ol' Amy. She's not good for much, but she can pop out a runt or two if you feed (and clap) for the hog.MISC.
Well: Great spot for gathering water at. Never run to a river again!
Always flowing, just grab a jar and fill er' up.How Workbenches workWorkbenches are the lifeblood, and main crafting focus around this modlet. Nearly everything contained inside this mod, is crafted stemming FROM the Farm Table. This is our main hub for everything. From our Farm Table, we can craft all other Stations. By default, all seeds are unlocked at the first perk level.
Because everything is so well organized behind the crafting tables themselves, these are about the only things we'll be unlocking in the perks menu, so don't fear when you don't see all the food and seeds listed under the Progression Perk:)Workbenches WILL produce heat. All production tier (Grain Processor, Dairy Churn, Wine Cask, etc) do not produce any heat. You can make Animal Feed all day long and not worry so much, but, Animals smell, and also zombies love living flesh. Cows, Pigs, Chickens, Butcher Table, all of that will be giving off quite a bit of heat, so be very careful about where you place your farm! And make sure you protect it well!CROPS:.
Flax: Primary source of Animal Bedding and Animal Feed. Liveblood to animals, we're going to need A LOT of it to get a good production going!. Marijuana: Not good for much. Someone looted all the bics it seems. Oh well, maybe we'll find one in the future. Until now, mary jane can be processed into some paper, and serve as a byproduct for animals in replacement of flax.
Jalapenos: OOOH! Well, these really aren't that hot. I eat Ghost Pepper Salsa for breakfast (no joke, Stonewall Kitchen Ghost Pepper Salsa on a burger or Breakfast sandwich is one of the most amazing things in the world. It's a real thing.
I highly suggest it if you can handle spice). Herbs: Basic universal herbs for cooking. Spices: Same as herbs pretty much. Grapes: Grapes are special. They are actually grown on a wooden frame in a garden. I think it looks awesome.
When you see grapes on them, just give em a smack and you'll collect. They're 3x3x1 3tall3long1wide. Tomatoes: Probably the easiest thing on the planet to grow.
Seriously, in the 90's people we're growing this plant in friggin pouches in closets. And people cry about GMO's:P. Wheat: Primary grain for all breads. Used for a lot of recipes. Sugar: Finally something a bit sweet! Pies, here we come!
Looking forward to making you all fat with my expansions. Sunflower: Big and bright! Used mostly for it's seedsTREES. Apple Tree: Good ol' Johnny Apple seed would be sad we're chopping this down instead of climbing it to pick these apples. But fuck em', he's a zombie now.
Nut Tree: Basic source of nuts.How crops workCrops are essentially just like the original crops. 3 stages of life, harvest and back to life cycle 1. But the crops are also customized to be the perfect heightfor harvesting. No more looking down at the ground, praying you don't clip a baby flower! Every single full grown adult plant will be atleast 2 blocks high for the player.Every baby plant will be BELOW 1 block high.
To harvest the most efficient way possible, simply just look straight forward. Not up, not down, just straight ahead and swing away!Crops can be started by finding Seed Packs out in the world. Those Seed Packs can then be crafted over into 1 plant of your choice. You can obtain the other plants by finding more seed packs, or creating one using 10 specific seeds from a custom plant (IE: Turn 10 Jalapeno Seedlings into 1 Seed Pack, to obtain a Tomato Seedling for planting).ANIMALS. Fertile Egg, Young Chick, Mature Chicken: Primary source of raw chicken. Now much, but they're quick growers!. Piglet, Young Sow, Mature Pig: Good source of strong solid food.

Pork is nice and lean, or nice and fatty, depending on the cut!. Calfling, Young Bull, Mature Bull: Takes the longest, but boy is he a fatty!
So much meat off this guy.How animals work and grow:Animals will come in two different types. You have your Breeder Animal, these mimic workbenches, and can produce our babies that will eventually grow into adults. The breeder animals will require Animal Feed to produce their byproduct (Milk, Feathers, Eggs) and their offspring (Fertile Egg, Calfling, Piglet).In order to raise livestock, we will need a suitable ground for them. This can be obtained one of two ways. First: Animal Bedding, which mimics a Hay block, may be placed on the ground, and upgraded with a PITCHFORK to prepare the ground for our livestock (Workbench Breeders do NOT need customized fertile ground to grow, they can be place anywhere). Our second option, is to upgrade Fertilized Dirt into Fertilized Animal Ground with a PITCHFORK. This will hopefully give you two options for customizing the look of your farm.
Solid block ground, and terrain ground:)Our animals will start out as babies on placement, and eventually grow into full sized adults. The animals are harvestable along their entire growth cycle, and will produce varying amounts of meat depending on their stages. They are animals, so please DO NOT expect instant adulthood over night. This is designed to be a long-term playable mod.Things will take time.How food/Buffs workFood is VERY unique in this Modlet. It will pay off greatly to eat healthy, and hurt to just slam junky food to fill your stats.
Food has extensive buffs tied to it. Everything will effect, and cripple stats in some way. Beefcake buff, being a heavy focused tank like buff, will provide you with:Strong, but dumb as bricks.30% walk/run speed, -2 Craft Tier, -40% Craft Time, +3 Strength, +Full Carry Cap, +500% Entity Damage/w melee and fists. +90% damage resistance, 0 Stamina Loss, +50% Combat Speed. This effect will last a total of 30 seconds, before falling off into PumpedUp,which will give you:Strong as an Ox!
-10% walk/run speed, -5% Craft Time, +1 Strength, +Full Carry Cap, +20% Entity Damage/w melee and fists. +25% damage resistance, +10% Combat Speed, for roughly 5-10 minutes.We have buffs covering nearly everything! From combat, to looting, to resource gathering, to even Night Time cookies to make our evenings around the home a little more productive! All buffs have been extensively checked and balanced, and they will cancel each other out, depending on the combo you use. So be careful, and try not to cheese the mechanics to end up with a super buff.
You'll lose a lot of high end food with nothing to show for it.For the sake of the most annoying aspect in the game, I left stamina max COMPLETELY alone with these buffs and food. Nothing will drop your max stamina.
Things will eat away heavily at your stamina in general, causing massive drains and punishing regen, but nothing will directly eat away at your max stamina. I'd rather not touch that mechanic with a ten foot pole.How Progression workThis one is very simple, straight forward and to the point! Our new perk system is tied in under Survival in the Fortitude Attribute. It is called Farming, and has a Bull icon next to it.You will notice that it does not list any of the food, or crops. Everything is neatly organized into our Workbenches, so there will be no need to 'learn' any of those.
You unlock the bench, you unlock everything within in (Exception to the Farming Table, which acts as our main hub for this modlet).TOOLS:. Scythe: Primary 'harvesting' tool and ground tiller. This baby is nice and quick at prepping out land.
Pretty deadly to on limbs. Butcher Knife: This here is a proper tool for gathering meat. Pitchfork: VERY IMPORTANT. Pitchfork will prep the ground block for Animal placement. Without it, the ground is not suitable for animals. (please read below for further instructions).
Frying Pan: Because it fits, and why not? Who doesn't love to smack a zombie with a frying pan.How to install. Navagate to your 7 Days to Die Directory (default: C:/ProgramFiles86/Steam/Steamapps/Common/7DaystoDie). Right click anywhere in your MAIN directory (not Data/Configs, not 7DaysToDieData), and create New Folder. Name New Folder: Mods Our directory should look similar to something like this(Download entire mod pack via GitHub or other Trusted source (I only share via Discord, and GitHub. For my personal mods, do not trust any other source unless verified by me). Drag and Drop the modlet into 7 Days To Die/Mods folder.
This beginner's guide will give you all the necessary information on how to survive at the initial stages of 7 Days to Die. You will learn how to defend yourself, how to build and reinforce various structures, and how to level up your character. How to Find and Craft Weapons in 7 Days to DieMelee weaponsOn your first day of survival you will be able to find your first melee weapon - a Spiked Club. It's really easy to upgrade with the simplest of materials, such as wood and stone, and will serve you well for a few days.Later you will be able to find or craft a Sledgehammer - a much better melee weapon although a bit heavier. It can be found in crates inside the Working Stiffs Hardware Stores that are usually located in towns and cities. Crafting a Sledgehammer is a bit trickier, since it requires a forged iron.In the latter part of the game try to find a Machete - it’s fast and strong, and it chops zombies like salad. You will not be able to craft it, so don’t bother with the materials. GunsThe other type of weapon you can’t craft in is guns.
However, you will be able to find gun parts and special knowledge books. As soon as you have all the parts and the book, let’s say for an AK47, you will be able to assemble the actual AK47.You can also just find guns in special gun safes that are usually located inside houses behind the iron bars. How to Use Tools to Reinforce Your BaseBesides weapons you need to craft tools that will help you build and reinforce your structures. One of your first tools will be a simple Stone Axe.

It’s not very strong, but it will serve you well in the initial parts of the game.Later on you will be able to upgrade it to a Fireaxe and eventually a Steel Fireaxe. They are all essential tools for gathering wood, stone and metal that will be used to build spikes, wood log spikes and barbed wire fence.As you find a building you will need to reinforce it with the help of your tools.
First, destroy all the stairs and build ladders instead - this will prevent zombies from getting inside your house. After that, build spikes all around the house, and then put wood log spikes on the perimeter.Finally, destroy all the doors in the building and build new ones with metal reinforcement; also, do the same with windows. How to Stay Hydrated and Preserve Your FoodFinding and purifying waterWater and food are essential for survival in 7 Days to Die. You can find water in any natural water source, such as river. However, this water may be dirty, and although you could drink it as it is, you should be aware of the dangers of dysentery.The best would be to purify the water by boiling it on a campfire using a simple cooking pot. You can also stay hydrated by eating some canned and fresh foods, such as mushrooms.
Farming and cooking foodThere are several ways you can get food in 7 Days to Die. First, you can kill wild animals and cook meat on a campfire. But you should not eat rotten flesh; otherwise you will get food poisoning.Another way to have some extra food is to farm it. You will need a farming hoe and seeds, which you will be able to find while traveling around, such as coffee, corn, potatoes and blueberries.Use the gardening hoe to till the dirt and then plant the seeds into the fertile soil. The seeds will soon turn into consumables which you can harvest, though corn takes twice as long to ripe as the rest of the foods in the game.
Howto Upgrade Your Character and Progress through 7 Days to DieLeveling up in 7 Days to Die is quite easy to do because every action gives you experience points. For example, if you repair or upgrade something, your Construction Tools skill will level up automatically; if you kill zombies with your club, then you will get experience in the Blunt Weapons section; etc. Best perksYou can also invest your experience points into perks. The best perk for early game is Quality Joe - it will allow you to find tools and weapons of higher quality, meaning that they will last longer and require less repairing.Another great perk to start with is Quicker Crafting - which allows you to craft items much faster.
Here are a few other perks you should consider upgrading: Concrete Mixing, Steel Smithing, and Workbench. WellnessOne of the most important attributes of your character is Wellness. This attribute significantly impacts your progress in the game, so the higher your Wellness is the better chance of surviving you have.You mostly gain Wellness points by eating good food, so it is important to know what types of foods give you the highest amount of Wellness points.Also, every time you die you will lose 10 points of Wellness, so remember to refill them after each death.You should also keep in mind that when you die, the game will automatically respawn you in a random place on the map - so it would be wise to either craft or find a Bedroll that serves as a checkpoint.
This will allow you to respawn at the exact spot where you’ve left your Bedroll on the map. Early Game Essential Items:. Building materials: Wood Frames, Log Cabin Wood, Stone. Tools: Stone Axe, Wooden Club, Stone Shovel, Wooden Bow. Consumables: Bottled Water, Canned Food. Resources: Food, Bottled Water, Medicine, Scrap Iron.
Items: Ammo, Bandages, Bottled Water, Arrows.This should be enough for you to survive the first few days in 7 Days to Die. Later you will be able to find other players and join them on one of many multiplayer survival servers.-Be sure to let us know if these 7 Days to Die Beginner's Tips and Tricks were helpful in the comments below, and come back soon for more 7 Days to Die guides at GameSkinny!
