KapitanGopnik 58 Report post Posted March 20, 2017 Piranha mentioned the possibility of using Valmod - a mod that overhauls everything that we know of 7DTD - on our server recently. How about we get a number of us to weigh in on this? I for one am feeling the monotony of vanilla 7DTD and would welcome a change, granted that the community was behind it. I don't believe a restart would be required, but I'm no expert. *shrug* What do you all think? Or are there other mods that might be worth exploring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigmeteu 25 Report post Posted March 20, 2017 I like the mods a lot... The negative I see looking into it is that everyone will have to install the mods locally too. That's going to cost us quite a few players, and may discourage future players. From a recruiting standpoint it comes across as disenfranchising both potential members and some members that don't like modding games. If there was an expansion that could allow the server to be modded and allow the players to come and go with the most recent version of the game that would be ideal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However if we start modifying existing servers, then the chances of alienating those players are far greater than just starting a new and different server. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandie 2 Report post Posted March 20, 2017 When my old server switched over to Valmod they had to reset the whole thing so everyone had to start over again. It had some fun stuff in it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be willing to split time between a modded server and standard PVE. With our team as large as it is, we should be able to cover it all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
