Building / Structural Integrity (SI) Tutorial[edit | edit source]

• This game has physics.
• Granted, they are more like phunsics, but building things is a lot more challenging than in games without Structural Integrity. (such as Minecraft)

Basics[edit | edit source]

Actually there isn't anything beyond the basics. Structural Integrity in this game is simple.

Block Formula[edit | edit source]

• Translate 'Max Load' as 'Glue' and you're halfway there.
• Each of the 4 side faces of this block can hold a mass of 40.
• So you can attach 8 wood frames to the side of another wood frame. Try it. The 9th won't stick.
• A metal block has a mass of 20 so you can attach two metal blocks to the side of a wood block.

Vertical[edit | edit source]

Vertical stability is infinite. You can stack 250 stone, tungsten, or concrete on a single Wood Frames. (then you hit the ceiling of the game)

• You can build an entire base on a one block pillar if you so desire, although it's not a good idea because your base can fall down when the Zeds take out your pillar.

• While the material of a pillar is irrelevant when stacking it up, it matters a great deal for what you can attach to the side of it.

• You can build most of this pillar from wood provided you use metal (like Iron Frames or Metal Trussing) for the pillar block that has to hold a lot of weight.

Some examples with all wood[edit | edit source]

• Green = pillar. Connects all the way down to Bedrock with 0 air blocks in between.
• Yellow = supported block. Structural Integrity values apply.
• Red = Forget it. It's too much mass and the block will not stick. If it does stick you destabilise your construction and get 'random blocks falling off'... somewhere.

• Note that some 'wood' blocks are weaker than the regular frame. Shingles are the typical example. Pay attention to tool-tips.

Strike the earth![edit | edit source]

• No, really, don't... unless you know precisely what you're doing.

• See what happens? The entire pillar is now a 'supported block' instead of supporting other blocks.
• Tread carefully with your mining/digging, otherwise Fun may ensue.

The Magic 8 Block[edit | edit source]

• A ceiling / bridge / whatever will break if you step on block #9 from a support and if the ceiling is 1 block thick.

• Why? Because.

The Game Messing With You[edit | edit source]

• The new poured concrete is a great example.
• The rebar frames are metal (320/20).
• If you 'upgrade' them to the wooden cast or fresh concrete level, they will have wood stats (24/5).
• Guess what happens if you upgrade the pillar to 24 SI while the rest of the construction still has 20 mass per block.
• It's silly, but you need a lot of temporary supports if you want to use poured concrete anywhere but on flat ground.

Overview[edit | edit source]

WARNING: A lot of this has changed since Alpha 13 and may not be relevant anymore.

Structural Integrity describes how many blocks of one material can be used to build an unsupported structure.
One example for such a structure is a horizontal beam. It is important that the player uses the same block for the base as for the beam itself.
There are some limitations to this.

• It is not possible to build a beam longer than 15 blocks. The 16th block simply drops and doesn't stick to the beam.
• A beam longer than eight blocks will partially collapse when stepped on the 9th block. This is also true for platforms; any block further away than 8 blocks from the base will fall if stepped on. Every block between you and the base counts; if you build 3 blocks straight, 2 to the side and than 3 straight again, counts as 8 blocks. Adding any further block and stepping on it will cause it to fall.

Metallic Blocks[edit | edit source]

Contrary to popular belief, Metal Trussing and other metallic blocks do not act differently than, for example, stone blocks. Metallic blocks mostly have a Max Load of 320 and a Mass of 20; what would make a structural integrity of 16, but due to the limitation at 15 it seems like structural integrity for metallic blocks is 15 and they break partially. If the player builds a plateau 4x4 instead of a beam he reaches the 16 blocks maximum and may walk on this plateau. Add a 17th block anywhere and the whole structure collapses.

Calculation[edit | edit source]

Download 7 Days To Die Full Version

In order to calculate the structural integrity, divide Max Load by Mass of the block and round down the quotient.

This is the number of blocks you can add at each side of the block. To get the support of a side, a platform has to connect to it. I.e. a wooden frame platform of 4x4 blocks has to connect to three sides of the base, to get support for up to 18 blocks. A platform of 3x4 wooden frames only needs to connect to two sides of the base, because that would be enough to get support for 12 blocks. Not counting in these platforms is the base itself as it does not need any support (obviously), making the effective platform 19 / 13 blocks big. Those platforms do not have to be a rectangle.

The maximum number of unsupported blocks includes those you build on other unsupported blocks. If you build a beam of 4 wooden frames on the side of a base wooden frame, you can add two additional wooden frames on top of any other of the four unsupported blocks (it does not matter if both are on top of each other or on different blocks). Adding a 7th wooden frame anywhere on the beam makes the complete beam fall to the ground.

Examples[edit | edit source]

• Metal Trussing:
  320 ÷ 20 = 16
  Structural Integrity for Metal Trussing is 16.
• Reinforced Concrete Blocks:
  110 ÷ 15 = 7.33
  RoundDown(7.33) = 7
  Structural Integrity for Reinforced Concrete Blocks is 7.
• Cobblestone Blocks:
  90 ÷ 15 = 6
  Structural Integrity for Cobblestone Blocks is 6.
• Concrete Blocks:
  90 ÷ 15 = 6
  Structural Integrity for Concrete Blocks is 6.
• Brick Blocks:
  65 ÷ 13 = 5
  Structural Integrity for Brick Blocks is 5.
• Sand:
  0 ÷ 8 = 0
  Structural Integrity for Sand is 0.

Bridges[edit | edit source]

• Metal Trussing pillar will support ,as of Alpha 15b8, a 3x14 bridge of wood frames upgraded to first metal band form connected to three facings of the pillar. The facing pointing away will not add to the structures strength going out.
  (the center row will extend one block)

Using different materials[edit | edit source]

If you use different materials, the number of unsupported blocks is calculated using the following formula

I.e. concrete (MaxLoad 90, Mass 15) and wooden frame (MaxLoad 36, Mass 6)

a) Using concrete as the base and wooden frames as the beam; in this case you can add 6 wooden frames at the side of the concrete block.

b) Using wooden frame as the base and concrete as the beam; in this case you can add 2 concrete blocks at the side of the wooden frame.

If 7 Days To Die crashes, 7 Days To Die will not start, 7 Days To Die not installing, there are no controls in 7 Days To Die, no sound in game, errors happen in 7 Days To Die – we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.

Be sure to update your graphics card drivers and other software

Before letting out all of your bad feelings toward development team, do not forget to go to the official website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the latest drivers. There are often specially prepared optimized drivers for specific game. You can also try to install a past versions of the driver if the problem is not solved by installing the current version. It is important to remember that only the final version of the video card driver must be loaded – try not to use the beta version, since they can have some terrible bugs.

7 Days To Die not starting

7 Days To Die Reddit

Many of the problems with games launching happen because of improper installation. Check, if there was any error during installation, try deleting the game and run the installer again, but before install don’t forget to disable antivirus – it may often mistakenly delete files during installation process. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with a game should contain only Latin characters and numbers.

You also have to check whether there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can also try to run the game as an administrator in compatibility mode with different versions of Windows.

7 Days To Die crashes. Low FPS. Friezes. Hangs

Your first solution to this problem install new drivers for a video card. This action can drastically rise game FPS. Also, check the CPU and memory utilization in the Task Manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If before starting the game you can see that some process consumes too many resources - turn off the program or simply remove this process from Task Manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First – turn off anti-aliasing and try to lower the setting, responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and switching them off will greatly enhance the performance, and not greatly affect the quality of the picture.

7 Days To Die crashes to the desktop

If 7 Days To Die often crashes to the desktop, try to reduce quality of the graphics. It is possible that your PC just does not have enough performance and the game may not work correctly. Also, it is worth to check out for updates - most of today's games have the automatic patches installation system on startup if internet connection is available. Check to see whether this option is turned off in the settings and switch it on if necessary.

Black of black screen in the 7 Days To Die

The most common issue with black screen is a problem with your GPU. Check to see if your video card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is the result of a lack of CPU performance.

If everything is fine with your hardware and it satisfies the minimum requirements, try to switch to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game screen.

7 Days To Die is not installed. Installation hangs

First of all, check that you have enough space on the HDD for installation. Remember that to work properly installer requires the declared volume of space, plus 1-2 GB of additional free space on the system drive. In general, remember this rule – you must always have at least 2 gigabytes of free space on your system drive (usually it’s disk C) for temporary files. Otherwise, the games and the other software may not work correctly or even refuse to start.

Problems with the installation may also be due to the lack of an internet connection or it’s instability. Also, do not forget to stop the antivirus for the time game installation – sometimes it interferes with the correct file copy, or delete files by mistake, mistakenly believing they are viruses.

Saves not working in 7 Days To Die

By analogy with the previous solution, check for free space on HDD - both on where the game is installed, and the system drive. Often your saves are stored in a folder of documents, which is separate from the game itself.

Controls not working in 7 Days To Die

Sometimes the controls in game do not work because of the simultaneous connection of multiple input devices. Try disabling gamepad, or, if for some reason, you have two connected keyboards or mouses, leave only one pair of devices. If your gamepad does not work, remember - the games usually officially support only native Xbox controllers. If your controller is defined in system differently - try using software that emulates the Xbox gamepad (eg, x360ce - step by step manual can be found here).

7 Days To Die God Mode Not Working

No sound in 7 Days To Die

Check if the sound works in other programs. Then check to see if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game, and whether there is correct audio playback device selected, which is connected your speakers or headset. After this check volumes in system mixer, it can also be turned off there.
