Our own 7 Days 2 Die server

[Sandman[SA]]

I have been thinking about this for a little while and finally decided to make it happen.  I setup a 24/7 dedicated 7d2d server for us to play on whenever we want.  And I have admin setup and working as well.  So, anyone that likes to play 7d2d, is welcome to join.  It's called "The Sandbox Fun House".  No password.   As of patch 20.7, if you can't find the server normally by name, you can try connecting to the server IP address.  174.173.174.231  port 26900.  It should show up from then on.  Just remember to set it to your favorites.

You will need to download and install this mod pack in order to play.  It gets updated fairly regularly.  So remember to grab a fresh download if you haven't played in a while. Mods.rar  Note:  This mod pack has been consolidated for client required files only.

This is new.  But if you want the complete server package, download this file. ModsFull.rar

If anyone here would like admin, please PM me your steamID64.  You can find it here.  Steam ID Finder

EDIT:  To connect to my server, you will need to disable EAC (easyanticheat).  Just right click on 7d2d from your steam games menu and select "show game launcher".  Then remove the check mark from EAC and click "Run & Save as default".

Congrats, Sandman. Hope it gives you many happy playing moments. I won't be joining you, but that isn't because I don't like you. I just don't play anything that intense anymore.

[Sandman[SA]]

It's only as intense as you want it to become.  You won't lose anything if you die.  And on my server, traders are a safe haven and won't kick you out at night.  So, you can use them as an indestructible horde night shelter if you like.  You still can't build inside them.  Also, gathering, crafting and building has been made noticeably easier and you can level up really fast.

So, I just finally upgraded the processor in the 7D2D server.  Went from a Intel Core i7 930 to a Intel Xeon X5690.  I will eventually make this system the replacement server.

If you have one, it is relatively easy to find the other.

Many sites such as http://www.steam64.com/ or https://steamid.io/lookup/

I just updated to first post.  So, if you're planning to play soon, please have another read.

Roger that

I've made some updates on the first post.  Mainly, Server IP has changed, and the server is now open to the public.

[Sandman[SA]]

I have been doing some work on the current 7D2D server to help improve the system performance and playability.  I've done tons of mod tweaks and adjustments to help get all the mods I have to work together smoothly.   Lots of tuning to the system itself to help keep the speed up and the heat down.  And just today, I replaced all the ancient Cat 5 cabling in my house to brand new Cat 6 to better support my new gigabit network hardware.

The server mod list is constantly changing as I'm regularly trying and testing out new content to see what works and what doesn't.  And without getting too out of hand with entire game altering mods that completely change the way the game is normally played.  Darkness falls mod is a prime example of what I don't want for the server.

Wow I am really impressed on how this game has come along! Finally with Sandman's help got back into the server! So glad that when I die I won't lose all my crap.

[Sandman[SA]]

Yeah, it has changed a lot since you last played.  It was nice to see you pop in.

By the way, I made a bunch of mod tweeks and repairs on the server over the past week.  So, the mod pack dated 9/14 has been updated with those new changes.

The furious turrets had lots of problems.  Fixed all of the botched crafting parameters.  Gave them small descriptions besides "it's a decoration".  lol.  And gave them colors so it's easier to identify as a mod weapon.  The HD Junk turrets got new names and now have descriptions.  They are similar to the regular junk turret, only slightly updated.

So I download from your OP post and replace the mod in the mods folder?

Well, it's best to download the latest mod pack to replace your existing one.  Where I sometimes post update news, it's generally only big highlights.  Some smaller updates and fixes won't get announced.
