Books
Books were a real concern for players when we initially released this mod. Since it was aimed for big communities, the books were always meant to be passed out by the admins of the server. But that time has changed. We have now added several low to mid tier books to the loot table, so players who don't have the Craftsman or Blacksmith profession can still make essential tools to survive, as well as a few added books for variety.
Apprentice Schematics - Unlocks Scrap Tools
Novice Schematic - Unlocks Forged Nickel recipe
Journeyman Schematic - Unlocks Forged Cobalt Recipe
- Kept all Leather Armor Schematics in the loot table
- Kept Macdyver book in the loot table
- Kept all Iron Armor Schematics in the loot table
- Kept Pistol Book in the loot table
- Kept Leather Tanning in the loot table
Installation
(Please note this mod is intended for MP servers, and does not have a single player version yet.)
If you are a server owner:
- Go to C:/Steamapps/common/7daystodiededicatedserver
- Open SteelMod v4 final, and drag the Mods folder into your directory (not the data folder)
- Open data>config in the 7 Days To Die directory, and drag all the xmls and XUi folder into the config. Say "Yes" if it asks to replace your files.
If you are playing the mod on a server hosting it:
- Go to C:/Steamapps/common/7daystodie
- Open SteelMod v4 final, and drag the Mods folder into your directory (not the data folder)
- Open data>config in the 7 Days To Die directory, and drag only the xui.xml and XUi folder into the config. Say "Yes" if it asks to replace your files.
Conclusion
With the combination of a great new alpha build from The Fun Pimps and SteelMod v5, we believe that this is one of our best versions yet. A lot of time and hard work went into this endeavor, and we hope you like it as much as we liked making it!
If you find any issues with the mod, please feel free to leave a comment. Enjoy!
