The 7 Days To Die Freeground Server Is Live! 1.0! Let's Go!

 

You can find this server for searching for "Freeground PVE"

The full name is: Freeground PVE - Big Cities, Guns, Nerds and Steel Mods, 66 Slot Backpack + More. I really wanted everyone to know what to expect when they logged in.

The mods are well tested, and the world is great. I'm using this as my personal gaming landscape, so you can expect it to be around for months. I plan on building multiple bases and having a lot of fun. You're welcome to join me or to play on your own here.

Here are the rest of the details.

This server is pretty vanilla for the most part. There are no full conversions or player teleportation commands that will send you back home no matter where you are. We're playing as the developers intended with a +50% experience bump and a party experience sharing range of 10 kilometers so you can level up together.

Server Rules

- Use your claim blocks. It's the only way to prevent griefing along with a locked door. Blocks are 100 times tougher with a claim block.

- World Regenerations are performed every 21 in-game days. During this time, all blocks that have not been visited within that time in-game days will be restored to their original version.

- Do not claim points of interest. It can really screw up the quest system.

- Be kind. This English server is the foundation for a creative community dedicated to having fun, whether alone or in a group. Feel free to ask questions.

- This server is free. I don't accept donations at this point in time for expenses. If that changes, you'll see it in the logon message or here, no where else. Even when donations are open, they won't be required.

MODS

After extensive testing over several weeks, Chill and Build very few mods were kept so high performance could be maintained while improving the game. Here are the mods that made the cut:

GNS Weather Mod:

1. Lowers the frequency of rain, storms, and fog in all biomes.
2. Removes the smog from the burnt biome, now it looks dry and dusty.
3. Decreases the fog slightly on horde night.
4. No changes to the Wasteland (currently)

GNS Beautiful Bases Mod:

My favourite mod on the list. Very light weight, and balanced to increase the fun but not give anyone a new advantage in the game.

1. Pick up various pictures, posters, signs, and décor items out in the world
2. Craft military barriers (from the cement mixer with two recipes) and barbed wire (available as a variable helper)
3. Craft hoist gear (available as a variable helper)
4. Pick up all flags in the world and craft your own variable helper flag which includes all flag variations
5. Craft the GNS Logo lamp (created by Mumpfy)
6. Craft jail doors and walls. This is highly exploitable, so use at your own discretion.
7. Harvest neon "open" and "cold beer" signs with your wrench and hook them up to power

GNS 2x2 Dew Collector

Makes the dew collector 2x2 instead of 3x3. One block space needs to be open above the dew collector for it to function (it's the block above the "P" in the Pass-n-Gas sticker.

(V1.0) Self Seed Farming (Still in early testing)

Allows plants to return directly to planted seedlings when harvested at the end of their growth cycle. The trade off is not being able to receive any seed drop. Living off the Land and wearing a Farmer's Outfit continue to increase plant yield. This is a server side only mod.
