Alpha Experimental 17.1 Patch Notes – 7 Days to Die

Hey Survivalist

We’ve just released Alpha 17.1 Experimental B8 and could really use your help finding the last remaining big issues.

To improve stamina players now start with 150 food which is now shown in the hud and menu to communicate you can overeat and not waste food.

When players stamina is between 100 and 150, there are no detrimental stamina effects.

Strength requirements for the Sexual Tyrannosaurus perk have been lowered and we have made the description clear that it does reduce mining stamina costs as well as melee costs. We moved it from the combat perk section to a new section called general strength perks. We’ve reduced the stamina cost of all tools. We’ve also reduced stone tool stamina penalties.

Water now goes to 150%, and until the water debuff comes on screen at 75% water, you will experience no stamina regeneration penalties.

For builders, we have bolstered XP for harvesting and mining substantially allowing for support roles to keep up with combat and scavenger roles.
