infestations are for combat xp, more zombies to kill so more xp earned for the poi. The bonus loot is to try and offset the use of ammo. But it's a give and take, can often use more resources on the infestation (ammo, medical, etc) than doing a couple normal quests, but you save time vs doing two quests.
If you want better FPS turn: Shadow distance - High, this will not affect the quality of the game just shadows and will increase fps a lot. Shadow Quality - High, there is not a big difference between Ultra and High but it hits the fps a lot. Bloom - Off Sun Shafts - Off Both of these will honestly improve your gameplay I find that both make the game to glossy when they are off the game looks better to me and it hits the fps hard also. I’m getting a solid 120fps even during horde night with zombies maxed out at 64
@@DawidsSus Optimization isn't the problem. This is a voxel game and is single threaded CPU intensive. There has been no way around that limitation that anyone has discovered thus far.
I never really got why you don't like parkour. Running from dogs, bears, moutain lions or whatever and being able to jump up onto a one or even a two story house or over a 2 block high fence is awesome.
effective and useful doesn't always translate to more fun. I had a mutation in fallout 76 so I could jump super high. It was fun at first, and very effective, but eventually it just didn't feel fun to jump like that all the time and took away from the game, so I removed the mutation.
Maybe start looking at the name of the POI? Places aren't called "house_modern_05" anymore. What did you expect from "The Hoarder's House"? That's a name I have no problem remembering.
Parkour lvl 2 is the best perk in the game. Allows you to jump 1 block higher so you can clear fences and make jumps that zombies can't so navigating POIs or your base will be easier
Hi Kage! Personally, I turn off dynamic meshes and that seems to get me to 60 at least Update: I tinkered with the settings and found out that most lag in this gane is cause by shadows. Having multiple light sources in a small area makes the game calculate shadows dynamically for each light source and this is very taxing on resources. Forges seem to be the worst culprit. I am going to try Yakov's performance mod to help Try turning off shadows completely and you'll see what I mean. This makes the game very ugly though and I wouldnt want to play that way.
I limit some games at around 30-60 fps to reduce heat, not because games run poorly but it can get insanely hot over time. High fps doesn't help when the heat becomes insufferable and it consumes more power as well. I think 50 fps is perfectly fine. PS: if you turn vsync on the fps will be limited to your native refresh rate which again is perfectly fine. Idk what monitor you are on, but if it is a 50hz monitor there is your answer. There is nothing wrong with limiting fps to the amount of frames your monitor can display and if you were to turn v sync off there is high chance of getting really bad screen tearing. You don't want that.
My friends and I have been playing together since 2015 love the game. Just had our first horde night last night, thank god I saw in your video that it went all the way until 4AM!! We have not played horde nights in a long time instead playing improved hordes and dangerous cities. Holy cow horde night was fun!!
Kage, you know about the lock slots for the backpack right? TFP's finally turned it on, so you can lock those slots from being affected when you organize your loot, very helpful! Also thanks for turning up the brightness, appreciated. Really enjoying the update and watching everyone play, and horde night all night has been quite a revelation to most players, and it seems to be liked by most people. And as long as you are breaking even or more with regular or infested it is worth it for the other loot you might get, I think. Putting a point into lucky looter is good not for the luck but for the speed increase to everything you loot I feel like pays for itself by saving time. Thanks for sharing all the fun!
Tier 2 infestation that take you into a tier 1 PoI is worth it since you can Melle the whole thing and get easy ammo. It's possible to do the one you did all Melle but you have to use hatches or wood spikes to help with kills. Infestations that are tier 3 but take you into tier 2 PoIs start spawning radiated zombies atleast that's what I've seen so far from watching others. I haven't noticed much of a difference on warrior difficulty but I do go all in for attributes. Strength 7 so far with max miner 69er while using the axe as a weapon. The only zombies with a noticeable difference are the Bikers and Soldiers.
People who make the POIs make "spawning volumes" for the zombie spawns. You have to enter it to make the spawn happen. If you climb over it, it's not going spawn. Just get Parkour to be able to jump out of there when it gets too hot.
Turn off dynamic mesh. Biggest improvement. Next up is to turn off shadows - though this one is dependent on your graphics power. If you have a 4090 for example crank those shadows up. dynamic mesh is a single threaded CPU issue though so no one is immune to that bottleneck.
FYI I have a 3070 and it maxes out at my settings at around 50% GPU usage. I have shadows off (as it makes things hard to see if set to on due to darker shadows) and all other setting cranked to max. My otherwise modern CPU is the single threaded limitation on FPS. That's the nature of voxel based games.
if you get the bitz, getting the Drone can be handy for carrying stuff. just load it up with Cargo Mods and loot to your heart's content. it can also hold a spare stack of ammo and health items like a cast or splint. some may consider the Drone kind of cheaty but carrying stuff is hardly a cheat. hoard up Brass, Lead, and Nitrate Powder for making bullets by the fist full. one can never have enough bullets! keep a spare stack at main base as a reserve, 2 stacks at Horde Base with a spare weapon. above the stack you walk around with. fill a crate at Horde Base with your building supplies and a spare Hammer. thicken and reinforce ground floor walls to solidify pathing through deliberate points of entry to maximize the kill zone long before the Z's get to your face! let your Horde Base do more of the killing work for you.
If you come across a locked police car it is worth unlocking it I did one and got some really good loot. Also you can get steel from the defunct vending machines.
Miss the days of sledgehammer and smashing safes , or when it was worth sitting there for 10 minutes hitting a safe for loot in the beginning of the game. Jen had a good deal on cement
Long time watcher/creeper, first time commenter. Try hitting up the cop cars you are running passed. They are fantastic loot in the beginning just not sure if the loot increases with whatever level you are at. :) Thank you for all you do and keep making videos!
Yeah, it’s only a potential extra skill point from books. It’s good for when you have a glut of used/unused books and don’t know what to do with them. You may be lucky and drop a point randomly on one your searching for.
@@Enigmatic.. at first I thought they were for actual level skill points. The description isn’t the greatest but on another panel when your looking at the clothes it gives you a longer description so clears it up a little. Helpful for a couple other armour pieces too. I can’t remember how to access that extra stuff, look around under crafting, area where you equip the armour etc. you will soon find it lol 😅
You can make blue (lvl 5) iron tools, blue shover should one-shot cement bags. You did two quests in a different town where the second trader Rekt is. You could've taken the second infestation quest from him to save on the travel time back to the original trader.
Good to see the base coming along! Looks like Kage Forest got leveled. 🙂 If you want to keep doing a little melee, consider putting a point into "Big and Fast. It helps the baseball bat keep up with the level of zombies you're getting. I've been doing my own "science" on the infestation quests. Now that I finally have strength 7 and two points in Big and Fast - infestations give me +70 of 7.62. I've found any of the mods for the dew collector are worth the coin. The minibike is worse in 1.0 than in A21. It's so slow it feels like the bicycle is faster. Before my next play through, I'm modifying the vehicles file because an upgrade should actually be an upgrade.
After you get lvl 17 (game stage 40) the appearance of irradiated zombies become more frequent so it is good to have that mode that block them from healing on your weapon. Usually at this point you can't ignore going into places without armor.
Kage like others have said, shadow distance and quality, take those down to high off ultra, will make absolutely minimal visual difference and a huge fps gain. Bloom and shafts off, but that may be personal pref, I never play with either on cause looking towards the sun blinds you. :)
A way to make your life even easier is to loot a building that you have a quest at before starting the quest because it resets the building so easy free loot. Works every time for those who just started playing because the book shelves have a chance to have loot in them again.
Rekt tier 2 quests reward is the mini bike bundle, (just need to build chassis in workbench, gives everything else) think your supposed to do that before burnt biome quests, as burnt biome quests at tier 2 are tier 2.5 skulls (i.e, each biome outside the pine Forrest has a 0.5 skull difficulty modifier I believe) rather than just jumping to tier 3 quests. Edit: to make more sense.
When lock Picking just hit e, no need to go and hit the lock icon. Also the desert merchant sells guns, I was lucky to pick up a lvl 2 tier 3 machine gun.
Kage you should buy the cigar mod it gives you strength and 10% off your trades. It's a helmet only mod so you can w8 until you can craft better headgear. Also I think u can craft the shovel mod now so you can one shot resources during quests. U might also be able to craft a bellows, but you might have to double check that for me.
Put too much stock on it being a 3070 i have a much older card 2060 and still have no issues seems you have so most of your settings on Ultra maybe drop them down till you get the FPS you want
In case you don't know putting points into healing factor ups your food and water usage, you have to put points into iron gut to counteract it. I never use those, I find it to be a waste of points, food gives health, healing items give health, if you are just missing a couple points who cares? If you are missing a lot of health waiting an hour to heal is far from ideal. Points into pain tolerance is far more worth it.
You also got close to two stacks of 9 mil. The SMG uses those doesn't it? You're collecting a lot of that ammo. Did you put the anti rad mod in your gun?
Those big safes ussually not that good but the small ones on walls much better. Anyway i love infestations its fun. But yeah its easy for me cause i am full agility assassin build xD i just aggro whole building hide behind corner and sneak kill everyone xD ( yes i have tier 6 assassin set + sniper rifle with x8 scope and silencer. But point is i love infestations and end loot worth it? Yes but as always it depends on how many holy crap situations you will have xD
Kage, been watching closely. I don't recall seeing a single rabbit/chicken (dog house/no dog). I've had 2 saves on the go, noticed yesterday that I was seeing no animals so I deleted the save I was playing, started my other save (over 20 meat from k*lls over the 1st couple in-game days from 1st day of playing 1.0 but again, now, I've went a couple in-game days with nothing, not seeing a chicken/rabbit at all. Has this been brought up already? or am I missing something, cheers.
I see chicken and rabbits occasionally. I saw one deer at night and killed it. I saw dogs in POI's, even had a wolf in one. I see snakes, more so in burnt biome than forest. But I only opened the trade route to Jen and went back to the forest.
Controversial opinion: infestation quests have poorer loot. They are fighting challenge, not "even better loot" quests. A tier 2 infestation has a tier 1 loot, plus the infestation chest which is always ammo, plus the quest reward. They do give a lot of money as quest reward, but money doesn't go nearly as far as it used to. I'm not saying you shouldn't do them because they are fun, but if you need loot you are better off going to a building with better loot and less zombies.
@@Kage848 In general loot terms they are the same, but the ammo looks nerfed a bit while the ammo consumption is increased. Infestation was for good for XP and ammo, but now it's just good for XP. Granted, it gives a lot of different ammo, it's just that most of it is of no use. If ammo could be disassembled like in some mods then it would definitely be worth it. I sell all ammo I don't use, and most of it can be scrapped for brass. Not sure which way gives more money. I'm going to try to make a mod that only gives the ammo you are spec'ed into. That would fix it. But the "other" loot will always be worse since it's a lower tier POI. And the cash you get from it as reward is much higher as far as I could tell.
MIZER might be bad at wanting to find COFFEE, but KAGE she is not as bad as CAPP00 he is so bad at wanting to find coffee that someone made a mod for him to create a better chance of getting coffee called "DID YOU MAKE ME ANY COFFEE".
KAGE......what do you think about the Fact that I'm doing Tier 1 quests and getting the SAME rewards you got in this video???? Because I think that Stinks !!!!......your rewards Should be way better.....I Did however get a Potty Pistol and NOT paper !!!!
You should get the Mining Gear. Head/Chest/Hands. And you go to go for mining. You will get alot more stuff! You can always set both the Shadows just to high. Thats would give you more frame and still look Good! And Get some better Rams like DDR5 +6000MHz or DDR4 +3600MHz and 2x32GB = 64GB (;

@@gdgd5194 then why was that the only thing mentioned when he said fps drops? “I shouldn’t get getting low frames, not with a 3070” 🤦🏽♂️ I’m very aware… I was just curious because 4060s are supposed to be garbage.
@@deionthegreatape 4060 is 5-10% faster than 3070, both cards with 3060tiX are entry high-end for 1080p gaming. 7 days has zombies with insane path finding so it's mostly cpu bound unless you plant tons of trees or go into a packed city, then gpu starts to slow down if you have shadows on.
@@gdgd5194 ah, I always thought the 3070 was better than a 4060. Thanks for that info. At what point do I need to upgrade my cpu? It’s a i9-12900k. I play at 2k but I want atleast 120 and only get 80 atm. So would getting a entirely new build be better or just upgrading the gpu or cpu or both
@@deionthegreatape You don't need to change anything, unless you want max settings without optimizing. Also if you play games like 7 days or rust you should switch to ryzen since it almost doubles the performance because it has large 3D cache and these games require LOTS of it.

Can you turn of the weather, fog it made the beginning of the vid washed out and I'm watching in 1080p
Controversial opinion: infestation quests have poorer loot. They are fighting challenge, not "even better loot" quests. A tier 2 infestation has a tier 1 loot, plus the infestation chest which is always ammo, plus the quest reward. They do give a lot of money as quest reward, but money doesn't go nearly as far as it used to.
I'm not saying you shouldn't do them because they are fun, but if you need loot you are better off going to a building with better loot and less zombies.
They were much better in A21, but I agree here they are not worth it. Typical Fun Pimps lol
@@Kage848 In general loot terms they are the same, but the ammo looks nerfed a bit while the ammo consumption is increased. Infestation was for good for XP and ammo, but now it's just good for XP. Granted, it gives a lot of different ammo, it's just that most of it is of no use. If ammo could be disassembled like in some mods then it would definitely be worth it. I sell all ammo I don't use, and most of it can be scrapped for brass. Not sure which way gives more money. I'm going to try to make a mod that only gives the ammo you are spec'ed into. That would fix it. But the "other" loot will always be worse since it's a lower tier POI. And the cash you get from it as reward is much higher as far as I could tell.
@@dcsobral Infestations are probably great for MP
How do we repair the Nerd Outfit?
I thought you'd be pleasantly surprised by the gun safe. That WAS trash. I had 5 different items and all sorts of ammo. I just did one though.
MIZER might be bad at wanting to find COFFEE, but KAGE she is not as bad as CAPP00 he is so bad at wanting to find coffee that someone made a mod for him to create a better chance of getting coffee called "DID YOU MAKE ME ANY COFFEE".
🤣🤣🤣
@@mizer1965 you like that do you?
this is the Hoarder house POI....
KAGE......what do you think about the Fact that I'm doing Tier 1 quests and getting the SAME rewards you got in this video????
Because I think that Stinks !!!!......your rewards Should be way better.....I Did however get a Potty Pistol and NOT paper !!!!
Yea Shadows cause most of the lag in most games so keep it down
You should get the Mining Gear. Head/Chest/Hands. And you go to go for mining.
You will get alot more stuff!
You can always set both the Shadows just to high. Thats would give you more frame and still look Good!
And Get some better Rams like DDR5 +6000MHz or DDR4 +3600MHz and 2x32GB = 64GB (;
His platform is DDR4 only; but he is running 64GB @ 3600MHz (not 2666) -- And speed doesn't do all that much for the Intel platform :D
Cop car on the bridge pls stop passing them lol
I don't bother with the safes I prefer cop cars
Been watching you for quite a while and i love your content.
One thing you should maybe consider is to go back to using real photos of the games you play instead of using AI Generated photos for your Thumbnails.
Just a thought..
Turn off Dynamic Mesh.
Vsync wouldn’t cause tht…
3070 is good but this game is more cpu intensive than gpu
You have a 3070 and getting only 45 fps And at 1080p.. I only have a 4060 and play at 2k and get 80avg. That’s weird.
You aware that PC has 5 other equally important parts? 😂
@@gdgd5194 then why was that the only thing mentioned when he said fps drops? “I shouldn’t get getting low frames, not with a 3070” 🤦🏽♂️ I’m very aware… I was just curious because 4060s are supposed to be garbage.
@@deionthegreatape 4060 is 5-10% faster than 3070, both cards with 3060tiX are entry high-end for 1080p gaming. 7 days has zombies with insane path finding so it's mostly cpu bound unless you plant tons of trees or go into a packed city, then gpu starts to slow down if you have shadows on.
@@gdgd5194 ah, I always thought the 3070 was better than a 4060. Thanks for that info. At what point do I need to upgrade my cpu? It’s a i9-12900k. I play at 2k but I want atleast 120 and only get 80 atm. So would getting a entirely new build be better or just upgrading the gpu or cpu or both
@@deionthegreatape You don't need to change anything, unless you want max settings without optimizing. Also if you play games like 7 days or rust you should switch to ryzen since it almost doubles the performance because it has large 3D cache and these games require LOTS of it.
Turn off vsync and dynamic mesh.
Turn off vsync
Why?
@@donbareseMesses with the FPS
Outfit not worth using, for every 10 books you get an extra at random. Totally NOT worth it
Hi kage how are you?
Huge fan dud, but why are you not playing soulmask anymore?
That game is next level
Too many games atm lol
@@Kage848 hahah, that's true though, but you'r soulmask let's play series was so good, i sweare to god i didn't miss a single episode can't wait to watch the next😂😂 love from bangladesh
Turn Vsync off. idk why but at least for me when vsync is on the game runs way worse
Tbh i seen others cc's saying the nerd outfit dosent worth it. Getting 10% chance...
Eveyone is entitield to there opinions. I dont see how its not worth it but thats just one mans opinion lol
Use a quad core PC, prob solved
lol 2007 called. They want their Core 2 Quad back.
