Hey Folks! Undead Legacy is absolutely incredible and I hope this helps you out on your journey -- as I was watching the final cut of this I thought of a handful more tips, but I want to hear yours first! Let me know if this helped you or if you have more tips as I delve into this mod! Mad props to #Subquake for making an incredible mod!
Thanks for making this guide! :)
@@Subquake thanks for making the mod you amazing human!!!
Huge thanks to both Eko for this vid and Subquake for the so far amazing overhaul. After trying and utterly hating every other overhaul I've ever installed and rage quitting before day 3, I'm 4 game days into Undead Legacy and so far I'm loving it! I am finding it ridiculously difficult to find any educational resources on UL though, which is why I am so grateful to Eko for this vid, but I def want more! UA-camrs, please, less Let's Play (even though I enjoy that too), and more education and guidance. If I have to learn by watching other people play a full session, I'd rather just not give videos any views and learn by playing myself. It's almost exactly the same time commitment on my part. Even in vanilla, I find the the UA-cam 7D2D community is about 85-95% Let's play, with 5-15% learning. I watch Let's Plays to fall asleep (yes I'm a weirdo, and yes I do dream about battling zombies). So I'm hugely appreciative of any streamers that also provide guides, tips and tricks, etc. Thanks again to both of you! So far this is literally the one and only video I have found on UA-cam that is actually an instructional Undead Legacy vid.
Thanks for the feedback David -- I actually wasn't planning on making this until I stared playing through and went looking for Undead Legacy guides and came up with nothing. I will be doing both - over the next month I will be doing a heavy Undead Legacy push with several tutorial types vids as well as a playthrough (because my community has been asking me to do one and I've been loving the hell out of this mod. Let me know if there is any info you are looking for in particular that I can cover-- I'm planning on a 2nd tips vid, and likely a deep dive on all the workstations.
@@WaywardEko a deep dive on workstations sounds great! As I'm getting my feet wet with UL, I'm getting more accustomed to the mod, but I still feel like there are things I may be missing. I have to say, it's starting to seem like this mod is all grind for grind's sake, which I don't love at all, but there are still aspects that keep me playing it instead of vanilla. Perhaps you have some insights on how to make the grind more manageable. For instance, me and my buddy I play co-op with have decided to switch to horde nights every 14 days instead of 7, because it feels like on 7 day hordes you basically need to grind all week long and never get to do any of the fun day to day stuff like questing, unless you luck out early on and find a great POI in your city to make into a horde base. But I would prefer 7 day hordes, it's just such a bummer if you can't find a good POI to convert. I'll never understand why gamers seem to love the grind so much. I already have a job IRL, thank you (but to each their own, I suppose). So maybe tips and tricks to lessen the grind. There are so many aspects of Undead Legacy that are so much better than vanilla (the carry weight system, being able to collect almost any object, the variety of vehicles and the ability to repair them, etc), but I'm starting to get turned off because of what a grind it is. I feel like I have to devote every hour of the first 6.5 days to mining and crafting just to get our horde base halfway adequate, and we're still having to bail out midway through the horde. It leaves no time for questing and home base building (granted, a lot of people don't care about making a nice, attractive home base, but I do!) and exploring the map, all things that matter to me way more than doing virtual chores to survive horde nights. I'm not ready to give up on Undead Legacy yet. There's so much to like (like spamming my buddy's base with mannequins from the Savage Country!), but I'm feeling bogged down. Perhaps I'm missing things that a little instruction could help me with. Keep on keeping on though! Love the content so far!
Great beginner guide! I was surprised to find that you cannot extract water out of lakes and such, it has to come from uncontaminated areas like toilets 🤣
It's mostly for gameplay purposes, because if you could get it from any lake or pool, then hydration and obtaining water is just too easy, why even bother with thirst meter at that point 😆
Thanks Tem! - that was definitely a surprise but the fact that I can get a constant supply of coffee make me soooo happy though.
@@SubquakeI think it's fun! Just also funny 😂
outside water is thought to be radioactive and or contaminated for the most part .
@@ralphskitz5126 where do you suppose the inside water came from before it was inside?
I've been playing for 87 game days and good tip I figured out is if you stumble across a rachet or wrench early on a good way to get scrap iron fast and less wear on pickaxe is to go to flatbed trailer or any trailers (after you loot it of course) and take apart the wheels and center and the whole thing crumbles leaving tons of iron beams to harvest. They only take 2 hits each then and easily get 180-300+ scrap iron.
Nice tip! Thanks A C!
Tips for UL 2.6:
UL is very grindy and resource-hungry. Be prepared to spend large amounts of time mining or salvaging resources, especially iron. It's almost mandatory to perk into Strength and max out Miner 69er. Salvage operations is also helpful to maximize the resources you get from scrapping, especially vehicles.
There are some bottlenecks and challenges with upgrading workstations.
To make an artisan table you need bricks, but bricks are made in a furnace, which you need an artisan to make. So, you will need to purchase bricks or salvage pallets of stone blocks or bricks to get the first 10 bricks needed to make the artisan table. After that you can make the furnace and craft all the bricks you need.
Until then, you can make wood frames in the carpenter's table and upgrade them to wood using planks, then upgrade to "flagstone" blocks using large stones, no artisan table required. Stone blocks are good enough to fortify your first base and for the first couple horde nights. Upgrade to bricks after you have the artisan table and furnace.
Keep an eye out for small engines, table saws, acid, military fiber, and beakers. You will need them to upgrade workstations. If they show up in trader inventory, grab them if you can afford them.
The Tier 3 chemistry station requires forged titanium, which can only be made in a Tier 3 forge. Upgrading the forge to Tier 3 requires military fiber, which can only be made in a Tier 3 chemistry station. So, you will need to obtain that military fiber some other way - by recycling (ideally hazmat suit pieces or barracks chairs), salvaging, looting, or purchasing at a trader.
Crafting and upgrading weapons and armor is very time-consuming and resource intensive, especially at higher tiers where the chance to fail is high and you lose the upgrade materials. It may be less frustrating to just wait until you find higher tier gear in loot, at the trader, or as a quest reward.
Early game, the grind for data is kind of brutal. Think carefully about reading magazines or schematics that you may not really need or won't need right away. The skill books in particular only raise a skill by 1 point and should probably be scrapped for data unless they are in your primary skills.
Thanks John! Will be snagging some of these for an upcoming video!
One thing that should be mentioned: things that you pick up and scrap may yield different resources compared to just destroying them in place. For example, a leather couch only gives leather when you axe it, but when picked up scraps to wood. Boxes, on the other hand, give like 3 paper when axed, but 20 when picked up and scrapped.
Sometimes depends on the item you used to break it apart too. If you use an axe on a couch, you get planks, scrap wood, and nails, as well as leather, or cloth.
Few more tips:
- Do NOT scrap your copper coils. They seem to not be important for crafting but they are needed to upgrade certain late game tools. The can't be crafted and are quite rare.
- get one coffee maker and water cooler for your base to fill liquids from jars to plastic bottles since the weigh less. Also get a water barrel to fill murky water into jars or plastic bottles because certain recipes only take water from one of these containers.
- start picking up PCs, TVs and electric boxes to disassemble in the disassembling station, even before getting the station.
- transformers and streetlights gain you steel when wrench, but can also be picked up to wrench later (if you haven't found a wrench yet or want to safe daylight and wrench at night).
-Vehicle storage, like the player inventory, is weight based. BUT there is also a maximum slots that can be used. Alway sort your inventory by weight before dumping stuff in your vehicle to be as efficient aa possible. Most of the time the slot limit will be reached before the weight limit.
-Try setting for your favorite type of meele and ranged weapons early as switching around a lot comes with the downside of spreading your action skills.
-While being rather loud to open in your base, the main loot containers can be picked up to create easy stashes on the street to retrieve your loot at a later time. They have more storage capacity than cardboard boxes, have more hp and don't need to be carried around all the time.
-Honey seems to be rather rare, so maybe only eat it when the infection has already progressed a bit. Getting infected at the next punch you take might kill you if you can't find another honey.
Fantastic tips!! Thanks Whiteraven!
Rope can be made in your backpack, it just takes longer than in the Carpenter's Workbench.
Great catch - when I was recording I didn’t notice there was two rope recipes!
Thanks for putting this together! I just finished a DF series and was planning on trying this mod next. Your tips should help thing go much smoother in the beginning!
Absolutely! I went looking myself and couldn’t find much so I was hoping this would be helpful for others starting out!
This was awesome, Eko. Thanks for the tips! Can’t wait to try out the mod! ☺️
Welcome Blond! It is so damn good.
Thanks, I have been playing Undead Legacy for a while. This will help those that have struggled getting started, it is a different progression from vanilla, so this is must watch. I think your workstation order makes sense in the order I have played, but key is to think ahead and check the recipes and the requirements. I have seen a lot of playthroughs that get hosed because you need to build the Artisan's table to build X, and X needs to be built level 2 carpenter's table. The intricacy of those recipes may catch you out. In some cases you may find items needed at the trader, but best to be self sufficient. One gotcha from vanilla is you do not get a pre-made bicycle after doing your first 10 quests, you get the recipe and some parts, so you can grind the additional parts for the bicycle or venture to create a bicycle repair kit. Again love this mod!
I got hit with the bicycle gotcha in my first run. Thanks for all the other feedback!
Incredible timing! I decided to start my first undead legacy game today and this comes out! Great work Eko
Enjoy your first run!! Hope this helps out!
@@WaywardEko wanted to get your opinion on how I feel about UL. I feel like there are WAY TO MANY work stations but I love the tier system with upgrading them. My big issue with the amount of stations is UL basically forced you to have a massive base; it removed the style of gameplay to keep a low profile. I like the complexity of the station upgrade system but 12+ workstations is way too much, mostly because it requires too much space!
I really really truly hope that the fun pimps take inspiration from the overhauls that we have access to, especially this one when you said this is how you want the game to progress i couldn’t agree more, here’s to hoping!
Agree. Actually thinking of putting together a vid on what I would do if I was in charge of getting 7dtd to gold.
They should hire the modders and allow them to get in on some proper development. Something like the current state of the game looking more like UL, but then also adding options/modes to add the Darkness Falls stuff/extras.
Solid tips to get through the early days, which is especially tough for players new to the mod. That tip on the loud loot crate (and anything similar like a fridge or even later the metal storage box)
is bigger than it might seem. Zeds spawn much more densely at night and opening one while sorting through your stuff can lead to ferals and the like storming your base. Avoid them and just use more ordinary boxes.
I found this one out the hard way :)
Don't forget to upgrade your tools, weapons, armor and especially mods in the Maintenance table. Going from H to G doesn't take any research data and every little buff is important. Therefore, don't throw anything away, keep all the loot. Even cotton is important for upgrading armor or pocket mods.
That's a really solid point -- I hit that in week 2. Even the 2nd upgrade where you get the extra slot but spend a small amount of data is very worth it.
Just one tip, i personally think that the best weapon early game is the scrap katana, it may not have the knockback but it can one shot most zombies and is fast (just remember to carry a spare cause its durabillity is a joke). And at night when you are at home crafting, put out your armor e carry some engines or something to double your weight limit, your speed will be cut to 10%, but you'll level up the skill twice as fast to raise your weight limit
I haven't gotten to play with the katana yet, but will give it a go. The idea about carrying engines at night is pure brilliance! I'll add this to a my list for a follow up list of tips!!
@@WaywardEko UL's author has a spreadsheet of all weapons. The Scrap Katana is exactly as the name says, if you remove the first "S" from the name. It has 200 durability and breaks too easily. Make an Iron Sword instead, which has the same DPS but 300 durability and is part of the same easy crafting tier. Alternatively, Iron Machete has 3% less DPS and 13% less range than that sword, but has 400 durability instead.
One thing I would like to add if you are in a hurry like nighttime is coming you can pick up cement and cobble stone stacks to dig them up later can save you some time
That is a brilliant idea!
A quick thing to note of skills and perks
Pack mule is actually useful due to the weight/encumberance system being Skyrim/Fallout based and there is basically no cap to the amount of crap you have in your inventory.
Perk leveling, if I'm not wrong, is noticeably slower, but that might just be me being used to DF
Skills aren't all milestone based. For example, the clubs skill will most likely give you 0.25% extra damage for every level in the skill. A skill that most likely IS milestone based is the missions skill, which might give you extra dukes per level, but you will have to reach the milestone to get the extra reward/reward choice.
Thanks! I still can't take packmule - it's better than vanilla, but you can also still supplement with backpack mod, pocket mods, etc ... and those perks are so very precious.
Thanks for this video. Helped alot! One tip to add is all the great stuff you can now pick up - Most of it is also sellable as well if you need dukes. You can pick up and sell lanterns, chairs, beds, microwaves, etc.
Great call on that one!
The broadcast storage is fantastic! The refill option for consumables is also nice. The overwhelming part is the sheer amount of workbenches, which is why I have not really gotten into Darkness Falls either. I agree though that UL is a more complete & refined game than vanilla itself. Thanks for the starting tips sir!
It is very overwhelming, but at the same time gives you more to work toward. The mechanics start to make sense pretty quickly though!
@@WaywardEko Do I need to turn broadcast storage on (not like click the button to activate it, I mean literally, as a feature in the game, since the option doesn't seem to be shown to me). Or is there anything special i need to do for my boxes to start showing the broadcast feature?
I'm loving Undead Legacy. Gotten up to day 29/30 here recently.
You mentioned the cost reduction of bowstrings with tier upgrades as an example, but I think the biggest thing with upgrading the Carpenter's table is the amount of boards you get per log. I think you only get 2 per log at tier 1, but that jumps up to 6 or so at tier 2 and at tier 3 you get 10 boards per log. Seeing 2 boards per log can be disheartening, but things really do ramp up. The saw and carpenter's axe can usually be found via loot or quest (but can get unlucky of course).
That is a massive increase for boards!! Thanks for sharing!
Recalled a few other things (don't recall if they were briefly mentioned or not, a lot was covered)... Buy out the jail breakers candy at vending machines since they give +75 to lock-picking (and 200% durability) and you'll need that bonus early on for safes. Be sure to check the resources tab at traders for a few resources you may need for upgrading. It's often a good place to get early bricks if you haven't found a construction site with brick pallets to harvest. And lastly, I believe (though I could be wrong) that each level you get in the action skills is contributing to a small increase. The level 20, 40, and up are sort of just telling you what you've reached thus far. You don't need to hit 20 in the action skill to suddenly get benefits from raising the skill. You can see evidence of it with weight lifting (leveled by being encumbered) giving increased carrying capacity right away.
Those are some good ones - especially the jail breakers and understanding that the skills are incremental! Thanks Peter!
@@WaywardEko You also have ability to open locked containers using Timed Charges via radial menu, as an alternative to lockpicking for those who don't want to do the minigame or their level is too low
@@Subquake one of my community members mentioned that - there are so many great tips that I had to start cutting for the video. Just gotta save I’m loving it! You knocked it out of the park with this mod and I wish I would have found it earlier! Will be joining your Patreon to support cause it’s so damn good and I’d like to support!
Yeah UL definitely has a strong learning curve to start, especially if you've never played this mod before, it does take some getting used too. But if you stick with it i think you'll be really surprised on how detailed this mod is; it really is one of the best! Also, you can take the coffee containers and mineral water containers and really decorate your base! I really love the fact that you could just pick stuff up and bring it home, redecorate and balance out how you like it, oh and the broadcast function is AMAZING! I love me some inventory management but this is next level!
This mod has been incredible. I will be sticking with it for sure and hoping to do some more content related as I'm loving it! I do like the idea of decorating your base up with things you find in the world! Do you know if you can feed coffee back into a coffee machine and use it like a reservoir?
Thanks for this vid! I'm definitely excited to get this mod installed and dive in, now.
It is sooo damn good. Really hope you enjoy it and let me know how your early game goes! I definitely walked in feeling like Rambo and ran away like Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead.
@@WaywardEko 🤣🤣🤣
I would say that the Tailors Station comes pretty close after the artisans table, as you should be able to craft pockets which will allow you to carry more items.
I'm working on some new vids and am moving the tailor station up. I got lucky in all my runs and have gotten a backpack mod early on.
This is so helpful. This mod is worth getting just for the auto inventory crafting feature. Great video. Thanks for the tips!🧟
Quite welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Oooooooh that dart around the corner to hide from ferals trick is going into my core memories ha ha Great video, Eko!
It is a real life saver in UL ... it's crazy how quick they lose attention.
Just a few things from having just started playing the mod recently:
Batons are easy to find in police vehicles. Search all of them an you should get a decent one pretty quick.
Not only are some weapons better than others, it appears that things like knives and machetes, etc, have a shorter attack range more in line with the size of the weapon, and clubs, bats, sledges, batons, swords, etc, have a normal range, and spears seem to have an extended range
There is a range limitation on the storage broadcasting, in all directions including up and down. Its usually helpful to build your storage in a central section, and then place your workstations in a circle around it so all of them have access to every container.
Almost every item in the game can be picked up by holding E and taking it. Some work well for selling early game to get your Trading skill up and getting some early game money.
The little red lanterns in POI's that show you where to go are probably the best source of light in the game, super bright, can be picked up, and toggled on and off without requiring any power source.
Putting liquids, including honey, into plastic bottles from the campfire requires a cooking pot. Putting it in glass jars does not. The idea is that you can boil/cook the items in the jar, you can't do that with plastic, you need to boil the water in the pot first then transfer it over.
Investing in lockpicking, as well as carrying Jailbreakers is a must. The alternative is Time Bombs, which in this mod you hold your action button on a locked item and it gives you the option to blow it with the bomb next to lockpicking, but creates a huge amount of noise.
If you're a little over encumbered, but not in a hurry, or in danger, walk around with the extra weight as it will increase your Weight Lifting skill, which in turn increases your carry capacity naturally a little at a time.
Selecting an inventory slot and pressing L will lock and unlock it so you don't move items out of your inventory you want to keep.
All good stuff -- if you are on 2.6+ lanterns now require small batteries. I need to do a 2.6 update to this!
@@WaywardEko Yeah, but I think its still an unstable version, so I haven't moved over into it yet. The new one added chicken coops and new monsters and stuff too I believe, as well as batteries for the lanterns and some other things, like new weapons, and more upgrades to benches and things.
@@_Grumpy_Panda_ - Yup - running it on my community server and for my series - pretty stable thus far!
You can go higher than S tier. There is S tier with three stars instead of one for example. There's a lot to unpack for starting tips. Nails are really obtained by harvesting couches and paintings. Best place is the diner, you'll come out with 500+ nails. Loot all boxes, adhesive is required for end game upgrading. Salvaging table Saws and cement mixers have a chance for compact engines. Don't destroy all table saws, you'll need one for t3 wood bench. Food and drink is easily obtained through looting, farming is hardly needed unless multiplayer. The best club in terms of raw damage is actually the morning star, as it benefits from both pummel Pete And the knife perk as it bleeds. However it is very perk expensive. Upgrading wood workbench is top priority as it gives more wood from logs from 3 to 10 getting you to make more wooden frames for a base.
Awesome and thank you! I'm looking to do a round 2 of tips and will include these! I love learning from folks in the community!
You can't use the weighted head mod on the morning star though, just an fyi, even though its a club.
I really like the locking of certain spots in your inventory, so they dont get put in the chests when you spam that button
Agree. We use Khaine’s lock slot mod on my community server for vanilla - this one is really nice to pick which slots though.
Thanks, this is exactly what i had hoped to find. perfect.
Quite welcome!
Took me to find you to figure out the arrow for upgrading some of the tables. Thank you for that tip. I have subbed.
I had the same challenge :)
Thanks! Your videos help me a lot. 😊
Great to hear!! Thanks for the feedback!
Vehicles have mods too and can be upgraded as well. Fuel saver is great early game, side bag and shock upgrade mod increases vehicle carry weight.
Also there are legendary weapons, the Brynx sledge carrys the shock perk from the baton and scale with the candy
Excellent points!
UL is certainly a much SLOWER progression than vanilla.
Also, read the UL journal entries, they have really good info.
Do not expect to build a custom horde base in the first week unless you plan to grind clay wood and stone for most of that week (clay is only like 5 per block at the beginning).
Super Newb Tip: turn off the hordes and practice the first week a couple times to learn the mechanics and progression without the pressure. The daily wandering hordes should keep you on your toes during the day.
Starter base should be a stone walled building with lots of room on the second floor or roof for you. Just stay quiet and let the zeds wander around at night.
Set some boxes to not broadcast to protect those items from being consumed by accident (like for hammers and saws).
Thanks for this video, lots of good stuff in there for beginners (like me). My current tactic is to do one quest a day from the trader and spend the rest of the day gathering resources and boxes. Now to figure out good sources where to find each resource type.
I like jamming through the early quests and do as many as I can quickly cause those trader rewards are really nice. The point about not having a custom horde base the first horde is no joke. Would be almost impossible to gather those mats for day 7.
I just started play his mod yesterday and now here you are.
Ty ty ty ty I suck.
Don’t feel bad - if you want some comedy - go watch how my times I died on my first run - www.twitch.tv/videos/1525504763
Love this content, and the modification is amazing make 7D to die entirely different.
It feels like a whole new game for sure!! Also, if you are interesting in a very different playthrough of UL, check this out --> ua-cam.com/video/wmgQtqudZgA/v-deo.html
Thanks for making this informative video, i have been playing the undead legacy mod for a few days now and wish i had watched it before i started as i wouldn't have died as much and would have had a better idea of the pitfalls. 🙂
Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on an updated set for the 2.6 update now.
Dunno if its still there but you can lock/unlock inventory tiles by clicking on an inventory tile and pressing L. Quite useful if you don't want items in your inventory to transfer to storages with the same type.
OMG thank you!! I was missing lockable slots and had heard there was a way to do this - will include in my next set of tips!
@@WaywardEko and thank you for this guide! We played A LOT of UL back at A19. Had lots of fun, i'm starting a solo playthrough and your guide helped in laying out what's new on UL. So thanks a lot!
Absolutely - response to this video has been great and there is next to no information out on Undead Legacy, so expect for me to crank out some more vids like this in the near future!
@@WaywardEko looking forward to it! Honestly subquake does not get the credit he deserves. Wish that TFP consider some of his QoL mods in Vanilla. Like the lockpicking and the action skills, they're pretty dope!
@@DnSqrd The biggest thing TFP should copy is the GUI. The vanilla GUI looks like a temporary mockup. The Undead Legacy UI is perfect.
Vanilla had action skills years ago but removed them because they were grindy and boring because people found weapons and could barely use them, and had to spend the same amount of real time as it would take to play an AAA game on just endlessly grinding the skills through spammable, repetitive tasks. UL has the same issue. I think some of them are cool in UL though. For example the looting skill and the loot progression is a fantastic idea. And stuff like a Cardio action skill would fit too.
As for the other action skills, they could do a middle ground solution: Melee weapons is 1 skill, ranged is 1, explosives is 1, etc. Those are the main ones to grind and are leveled up by using any weapon of that type, and are welcome to take a long time to grind, and should give generic benefits such as stamina efficiency and extra damage ("you learn the vital spots to aim for with melee/ranged weapons") kinda thing. Then they should have simpler sub-action skills for individual weapons, which you can master in 1-2 hours of fighting, to get a further damage bonus and head shot bonus for specific weapon types. That is a system that would fit better than either UL or vanilla.
I absolutely love the broadcast feature, i think its one of the best QoL additions you can get, it should be in vanilla lol
I'm working on an A21 update video tonight - Joel did mention possibly adding this. Watch for my video in the next couple days for details!
@@WaywardEko Hey bud, im experiencing a lot of crashes in my undead legacy, but im not sure whats causing it. It's either the mod or the compo pack. Dont suppose you have any ideas do ya mate?
I love the video it has been very helpful as I dive into the UL mod. I have been struggling a bit with inventory management. I've been playing with my friend and probably the most frustrating experience we have is finding a system of managing all of the loot we have obtained. I noticed this problem in Vanilla as well but, between writeable storage boxes and the storage boxes being much larger we muddled our way through it. Now in UL we have a lot more loot items and our storage containers have limited capacity. The broadcasting feature is amazing but, there is still the issue of dropping items off. If you decided to make a video on how you manage your inventory then I wouldn't complain :p.
I’ll try to fit that in for early game - have you started crafting wooden storage crates yet? They are affordable and writeable. If you check my twitch channel in the description you can see my base evolution on my first large play through. I’m around day 33 and I’d say my base was well organized by around day 20.
I like to idea of base organization and workflow - it’s actually very different than vanilla because you have to plan for the broadcast ability to make sure your chests are all within 10 blocks.
@@WaywardEko We have unlocked the wooden storage boxes and we are a day away from horde day. Our main focus was to get a vehicle and we both just got bicycles. I didn't know that about the wooden storage boxes so we will definitely go that route! Also I'll make sure to go check out your twitch channel.
The bicycles were actually pretty funny cause we got the bicycle box reward for the quest tier completion and we both got it. Much to our surprise we learned it was just the schematics compared to getting the bike in vanilla. Not as bad as the time we figured out that using glass meant eating it lol.
You were right on the storage boxes. Iron storage boxes kinda solve the storage problems.
Thanks for the tips, great vid 👍
Absolutely and great to see you back around Sir!
Nice tips mate, i knew this Mod would be right up your alley. Almost 6 k subs nice!
yeah - I'm loving it. Thanks Shak! Also miss you buddy and hope you are well!
@@WaywardEko Ran into a few issues with the new baby its been a rough couple of weeks, hope to join you guys in the not too distant future.
@@Shaknor new baby?? I hope everything turns out well. That early period can be rough in the best of situations. Much love to you and the family.
@@WaywardEko Yeah new bub, my wife is not well complications from the birth so im soloing it at the moment while she is in hospital. Thanks mate
this was sooooo helpful man thank you! do you see your self hosting an undead Legacy server in the future? i was looking up stuff for this game and was sad to find so little on it then you made this! What LUCK!! your awesome man.
That is in the works. Due to resource requirements, that will likely be a patron only server, but looking at doing that in conjunction with my Undead Legacy series!
Great guide man!
Thanks!
This is my first modded playthrough in 7 days so this definitely helped a bit for early game.
That being said since I'm a bit of a masochist, I'm playing on survivalist with dem jogging on day and boi does that baton do nothing. I've gotten good at it honestly playing hard right away, it's the spawn that can mess me over. Especially the city's.
But still great video and definitely helps out a bit for me
What is your go to weapon on this playthrough for Survivalist? I'm playing on warrior and there is obviously a huge jump up on zed health / damage mitigation.
@@WaywardEko like most peeps, I go the club, but bows and arrows are my go to early round since sneak. For melee though stone sledge and a lot of patience at the start
I just started playing UL and this is an excellent guide. Looking forward to more and thank you!
Glad you enjoyed! More UL content already in the works!
oh my god, broadcast storage makes this mod incredible i was watching this while downloading and i'm now very glad with my choice
Broadcast storage is amazing!
Just downloaded this Mod today. Can’t wait to try it out tonight.
Enjoy! And embrace death. It ups the difficult until you get a handle on it!
@@WaywardEko I’m all for that. I’ve been playing 7D2D since it first released. I can honestly say it’s gotten a little boring. Needs more of a challenge. Tried Darkness Falls and didn’t like it.
as someone who just played 14 hours(days) straight on solo for my first test... I'd say that the best weapon I found were the knuckles (just like vanilla) you can heavy attack like 6 times without your stamina plummeting, hell I didn't even need the books (they would have been appreciated but RNG wasn't having it). I didn't put any perks into looting or questing, and instead focused on the mining and salvaging perks, so it took me a long time to get anything of value. by day 14 I have almost everything to the highest tier, but it was a struggle. with 3x loot and xp I was still struggling to get the old books and research requirements to build things, which is insane. the biggest tip I could give is don't assume you have enough of anything. I went through iron like it was water. also might want to REALLY emphasize the importance of upgrading your gear. I leveled up my rock axe from H to F and it was more then enough.
things i'd improve:
make cooking necessary? I think I had to cook like twice and that was like 10 stacks of Bacon and Eggs each time. There's not enough plants or animals around to really make cooking viable. add the plants from DF and AN (solo was fine, but if there's more then one of you, you'll definitely need food)
improve research rates. (even in multiplayer, without the 3x loot you'll be stuck with a carpenter table and a research table with nothing else all fuckin week)
double skill points (if you are playing solo. with two or more people with shared xp I imagine this won't be a problem)
Interesting - what difficulty are you playing. Knuckles early game would scare the hell out of me!
14:27 This was very confusing when I first encountered it in the game. Didn't dawn on me to have a container. Thanks!
Quite welcome!!
Thanks for this video, some great tips! I've not played UL since alpha 18 I believe, but I will be trying it again soon. One question, do you know the broadcast features block range?
I believe it is 10 blocks.
@@WaywardEko Good to know, thank you!
This incredible mod is ALMOST perfect. Not easy, not simple to learn right off the bat. We can feel that Subquake didn't want to take the shortest path. It's all the opposite!
But that said, Horde nights (Blood Moons) are still a problem for me, like in Vanilla. The hordes intensity level versus our game stage level is too unbalanced and it forces you to go mining like crazy only for those nights. So i choose to disable the Blood Moons (in Basic tab) and increase the amount of wandering hordes instead (in Expert tab).
Wandering hordes can happen at all time, during day and night. You can set the amount of zombies to 5 with a high RNG Range like 30+ zombies, so you never know.
I've found that a lot of the vanilla tropes for base design function great here. Simple elevated platform with a way to knock them out will give you time. Been playing w/ 64 zeds without an issue on horde night.
I love the spear...managed to buy a cheap steel spear and its awesome
I can't support the spear :)
You can craft rope inside your backpack, it will just cost more rescources, so it is more efficient but in emergencies you can still fix your primitive tools and weapons by leaving the poi and gathering some grass etc.
Edit: also power attacking with a wrench does not speed up harvesting in UL but it does consume more stamina, so just use the regular attack to harvest to save yourself food and stamina.
Thanks! Figured out the rope crafting after I continued to play more - that wrench tip is huge as I’m accustomed to power attacking in vanilla.
Awesome informative video, as usual. One question: When you try to upgrade an item in the table, if it fails, do you lose the item or just the upgrade mats? Never mind. I see you answered that in your upgrade video. (For those that haven't watched it yet, no you don't lose the item, just the upgrade mats.) :)
You got it!
Ty
Very useful
welcome ! just be aware that there were a bunch of changes with 2.6 release!
never seen this mod before, but i got to say, this UI is fantastic.
Everything about it is fantastic!
20:10 workstation order. I almost commented too soon saying "why didnt ya cover the build sequence" ie. Artisan table gates making other tables, but you were just saving best for last
Yuppers :) I'm still not sure 100% if I will follow that on my play through. I have some different ideas and will let RNG dictate to some extent :)
the old boat paddle has been my preference for early game. with maybe 2 days of speccing into clubs it can heavy one shot the softer zombies. that and bows. with even less speccing, I can sneak one shot them as well!
sneak shot w/ hidden strike is clutch.
@@WaywardEko Sure is! I managed to take down a bear, day two, with two crossbow bolts, and one shotgun to the face!
Now....those scorpions are brutal...damage sponges on top of giving you lethal poison....that...to make the antidote...REQUIRES YOU KILL SCORPIONS! [or...are there other ways of getting those venom sacs?]
I'd consider placing Tailor's station a bit higher due to ability to craft a Backpack or pocket mods, also Ballistic table is missing :)
I struggled with where to place to tailor station in the order. Backpack and pocket mods are a compelling argument for sure. I left ballistic table off for early game specifically - and because fitting more on the screen was becoming problematic:)
@@WaywardEko then it all make sense ;)
But yeah it'll just a light change in the bottom places.
For early game wep imo pitchforks is the best.. it's have good knockback and dmg and range.. the drawback is that u need iron plate to repair it
I’ll have to play with that a little. Does it have a similar attack rate to the spear?
@@WaywardEko I think so.. but u can't throw it
Watching yourself, Temreki and Genosis play this it has made me decide to download and join you guys in Undead Legacy. Thanks for all the tips Eko.
Are you going to join the community server? Planning to crank it up Oct 15!
I'd love too and it would be pleasure too. I'm assuming the details will on your discord?
Guns Nerds and Steel did a UL playthrough that was pretty good as well.
@@_Grumpy_Panda_ absolutely!
Jawoodle has a truly enjoyable playthrough as well. His frenetic and impulsive play style had me in stitches!
Great video. Been awhile since I played last. Nice refresher.
Curious, does anyone know whether rain and thunder mask the noise that a player makes? Wondering if there's a benefit at to travelling during the night or day when there is a storm.
I don't think the stealth system is that nuanced, but I'd love to hear from others. Also - if you have been gone for a while, check out my other vid that covers the 2.6 changes ... as there are some big ones -> ua-cam.com/video/UxwJkgwWhgs/v-deo.html
@@WaywardEko Thanks for the response. Will do.
Rope can be crafted in the backpack, but it costs more resources than it does in the carpenters table
Thanks! I didn’t see there was 2 recipes.
the skills actually provide a bonus for each level, not just at the milestones
Ya i was going to comment same thing, like if skill level 20 is a milestone for 5% perk bonus, having level 12 gives a hidden 3% bonus
Someone else mentioned this -- I had just assumed you had to wait until those break points, but this is great to know. Thanks!! I'm new to UL, so loving the info exchange.
I've heard the skills scale by percentage regardless of each of the 20 caps from Guns, Nerds & Steel!
Correct -- I learned that after this came out as well! Thanks!!
@@WaywardEko bask in the sacrifical glory!
i thought i was a pretty good player but this mod humbled me real quick. On day 13 of first play threw and still no horde base lol and the house i choose for base a little small for all the work stations but im getting the hang of it and im trying to get all my stations to level 2. Did not realize how rare wrenches are and i used the few i found and bought for upgrading lol. If I can upgrade my forge with a little mining I will be able to make my own wrenches now
Using your wrench to upgrade and losing it is a time honored tradition in learning UL :)
Early game the knife is honestly good for the bleed stack. I play on the hardest difficulty so the dot is very helpful. I usually upgrade the deep cut or w.e gives bleed, so I can get 3 stacks and its almost like fire damage.
its fast, it adds up, and its easy to keep the stacks on. Low stamina cost, and its just great for having dps while recovering stamina. In multiplayer thou, unless you have good ping its prolly not that great lol. Zombies in multiplayer have mega Wifi-Hands
For some reason I struggle with blades in early game in UL. With the increased volume of zeds and the slow bleed dmg, it didn’t work for me.
Yeah, gotta give this a like.
Thanks!
This overhaul looks amazing - putting up a server tonight :D
enjoy!! warning they just dropped 2.6 so some tips no longer apply.
@@WaywardEko Haha yes the scrapping of ore changed 🤣
@@WaywardEko The dissassembly station is gone - but I cant figure out what replaced it?
That one hurt ... I went to finish the starting quest on my twitch run and was crushed.
Recycling center -- it requires power now.
Man you're playing a far different game than I am if you got up to cement mixer by D8!
If I had one there - I left it by accident when I was playing around after day 8 -- I didn't get to the cement mixer :) I had Carpenter Tier 2, Maintenance, Furnace, Blacksmith, and Research.
Can't scrap iron ore to scrap metal anymore, I think... v2.6.14. The pitchfork is also nice since they now removed the throwing ability for a power attack.
Yeah - I need to put out a 2.6 update!
I just started a new playthrough and boi... this mod is something else!
It definitely changes expectations!
@@WaywardEko What I like the most is how everything the author did, fits SO DAMN WELL into the thematic of the game, tho...
It's trully an amazing mod, and, honestly... makes me feel like the base is so empty and lacking in many aspects. The depth and gring conects with everything and makes the experience EXTREMELY fun for me, and not boring. Undead Legacy is grind done right, is FUN GRIND (at least for me).
And please, keep up the content about this mod, tho. I really like your channel and your format. I would very much appreciate more content and tips, orientations, curiosities, enterview with the author as well ^^.
I felt the same way and was just telling my community that this mod plays the way I wish vanilla did. It is more grindy, but like you said it is a meaningful grind with a lot of chance to customize your run. I have a series planned for undead legacy and will likely drop more content as I learn more about the mod and can speak from experience! Thanks for the feedback!
@@WaywardEko You got it, dude! I'm looking forward for your series! Good luck!
"If you are really lucky and you come across a stun baton" said no one ever in the history of 7 Days... untill playing UL and then I realized that early game, they are beasts and will save your ass. Now I am hitting every 'Mo Power' truck hoping for a baton... which again I never thought I would ever say.
Said no one ever … so very true! That is exactly how I felt when I found one!
Well done.
Thanks kindly!
I'm loving undead legacy, but I'm having trouble. When cutting trees or breaking down things I am not getting the progression circle going around the down arrow logo. Also, I can't broadcast my storage for use with my work stations. I might have to reinstall and start over...
Never seen that happen before.
One question. If I play with my friend can I spawn next to him. Does it has an option on game prefference beffore starting? Keep up the excelent work and God bless you
So there is a way to do this, but you have modify the XML -- not super hard.
Go to the following path on your PC.
%AppData%\Roaming\7DaystoDie\GeneratedWorlds
Find the world you are playing and go into that folder and then go into the spawnpoints.xml file and remove all but one spawnpoint.
Alternatively you could login, flip on dev mode by doing F1 and then typing dm -- then in the command window you can use the command teleportplayer
At the horde base fighting position, what’s the block you’re using? I see bars, blocks, and something else
Search for scaffolding and you will find the shallow U shelf. It's awesome for those fighting positions. You can rest a grenade there and backup, and it will usually stop crawlers from pushing through.
Thank´s :D
Quite welcome!!
Any tips for early game safe cracking, I clear POIs but can't reach the Good stuff
spend an early point in lockpicking and make sure to buy hail breakers from the trader vending machine!
Can you do an experimental guide? Some things have changed such as the scrap iron from ore recipe
It's on my list -- I'm taking notes as I'm doing my UL playthrough series - this will be about a month out as I get settled into the new schedule.
*_*Uses the mining sound as one of the beat sounds added to DOOM's E1M1 Hangar level theme. _**_0:34_**_*_*
lolz -- nice
Hi,tnx for the video.Can you please tell me how to find that military trader,where Ellen is?Tnx
You just have to explore! If you want to cheat your way there, you can aways enable debug mode by pressing F1 and then typing DM ... that will allow you to hit ESCAPE and using the POI teleporters ... just search on trader.
@@WaywardEko Thank you mate,I really needed this info.I will explore
how else can you get resin if you lost your backpack and all your tools cant find it? punching trees?
I would probably focus on getting an axe again ... but worse case I think you might get some if you punch a tree long enough.
so far try to get this mod just gave me a nother copy of 7 days to die
Enjoy! It's an awesome mod!
you can make rope in the backpack but it´s cheaper in the bench
Great catch - when I was recording I didn’t notice there was two rope recipes!
good video
Thanks!
Easily the best overhaul mod for 7d2d. Only Darkness Falls comes close. If Subquake ever divorces perks from attributes the way Khaine did I think it would be perfect.
Darkness Falls is next on my list to explore!
There are plans to split attributes with separate attribute points to be gained per level up in the character screen, kind of like in many different RPG games (Fallout, Diablo etc), where you get some attribute points and a perk point upon leveling up. Most likely something I will work on sometime in A21 and most likely I will go with primary and secondary attribute requirements to unlock perks.
Hello, to play with friends, how do I do it? I don't get your world for steam friends, and I also tried hamachi ..
Find yourself a server to play one - I’m going to be setting up one for my patrons in the next few weeks.
For early game storage, you can pick up the different containers/boxes, but there is also some entry level crafted storage you can make in the Carpenter's Table. There's the storage sack and cardboard box you can make there with materials, and the upside is they are both signed containers so you can label them.
Oh - nice. I didn’t realize those were sign!
for some reason I don’t have icons for broadcasting loot to workbenches, what could be the problem?
2.7 changed that - you enable it through the radial menu by holding down E
@@WaywardEko UL dont have 2.7 yet
Undead Legacy 2.6.17 @@WaywardEko
So... Animal Fat is one of those pesky things you need for upgrading. it seems that small animals don't give it, so pigs and wolves and animal corpses are the way to go. but...how does one decide what's the best to get the most of it? is there a stat for efficiency? I know there's a vanilla mod, that does something like that, and of course the hunter perk for harvesting more from animals, gotta get that soon...just crafted a hunting knife, and a scrap katana, and gonna test that against my unleveled bone shiv...maybe on rabbits and chickens, though I don't think they drop AF, sadly.
Yeah -- and the other thing is to buy animal fat from the trader if necessary. Corpses can be great for this - look for the hospital POIs.
I don't know if I've been incredibly unlucky or if I've just overlooked something, but I cannot seem to find a wrench to save my life. I am on day 12 and can't progress further until I find one or craft one. I already have the wrench schematic unlocked I just can't find the gears to actually craft one. What are some good reliable sources for Gears if you don't already have a wrench?
Prioritize hardware stores, gas stations, and mechanic shops. I got lucky and found a wrench early on - also once you get a wrench - go tear apart a bunch of cars before you use it for the station upgrades! Cars can give gears from salvage.
@@WaywardEko thanks for the info! I had just given up and was going to try to craft my own but saw how much work that would be.
for unknown reason .i have always 0 storage nearby , is there solution for that?
Did you click the broadcast button on the storage box and is it within 10-12 blocks of the workstation you are using?
My Storage is not broadcasting, and its like 2 blocks away. i saw that someone said you had to enable it in the blocks.xml file?
Are you in the new 2.6 version? if so there is a new method to enable it - hold E for a radial menu when looking at the box and select the broadcast symbol.
@@WaywardEko There it is, thank you sir!
@@WaywardEko Another question for you sir, where do you get or find clay bricks?
@@Insanekiller278 Look for the piles of grey stones around the map. Otherwise you can make bricks at the artisan station.
Best mod ever
Agreed! Granted I haven't played all the mods out there, but loving this one!
Oh no. I need to make a bow but I'm over encumbered and can't find cloth! 😂
Curtains! Murder all the curtains!
What modlets would you recommend putting with undead legacy?
Please tell me when you find out! I'm honestly new to UL myself and have decided to start putting out more content because there is very little out there for new players.
Anyone else became a min maxer with this? I find myself picking up ANYTHING that can be sold even for a single duke and completely stripping quest houses before questing lmao. I got weight lifting lvl 56 on my second week
You are not alone - this mod turns me into a hoarder.
Today my friend and I downloaded this mod on 7dtd and I tried to invite him into my world. The invitee does not open, and the ip connection gave him an error. What to do? How to visit my world to go through it with a friend?
are you sure you are on the same version?
@@WaywardEko yes, the last experimental one
@@diamondking0173 Have you tried the other way around? Your friend can try to search and join. Just give it a password. If that doesn’t work I’m guessing you have a firewall issue.

Did you make sure to read through the journal? I think that it one of the triggers.
