Are YOU an Efficient Miner in 7 Days To Die Alpha 20?

Isn’t the maths at the end a little bit wrong? If it’s it’s 60k per 5 mins, that means it’s 60,000 x 12 as 5x12=60 and there’s 60 mins in an hour… so 60k x 12 = 720k not 1.2m?

Very usefull video. Thank you. Think it works also in Alpha 21 or?

I recommend making support pillars with shapes like centered pole in the poles section, which will give you more room to see and move around, or even mine behind it if you need to.

does anyone know if bunker buster mod works only against stone? does it work with coal or nitrate?
And does iron breaker work only against iron? or lead too?

I just open pit mine

the heat and noise system in this game is so stupid, idiotic and ridiculous that it's a shame to talk. Zombies feel heat through 100 meters of stone and concrete? because I have a base so deep underground and they come to me anyway.

when i mine an iron with auger in a cave then like 10-20 green dudes with screames and horde rush me. in 30 mintues i have like 2 full chests of 6k iron .

Coffee, Blackstrap Coffee, and beer to enhance early game mining. Along with all other tips in this video like da candies!

Easy way in 1 second: Switch from "Cheat Off" to "Cheat On"

I haven’t even mined once as I’ve pretty much found all the crap I need by exploring

I'm sure people are gonna hate me for this one, but one way to always get what ores you need is to use the trader. Get a quest, mine under a poi and note what you get. Pop the quest and do it again if you want. Note what POI the trader mentioned and how far away it was and you can always mine the ores you want and the trader is going to suggest the same POIs again anyway.

All cool and stuff, but frankly, with how RNG dependant it is to even get an auger, I still find the pick to be superior, simply because you can actually possess it.

Having the best stats is great and all, but if I don't have the item in the first place it's infinitely worse than the pick. Not to mention also needing the full mag set.

Wow. I learned alot. Liked and subd. Thanks!

Wait, the surface deposits don't indicate where a given ore body is located underground?

How do you have such good FPS!? Can you do a settings video? XD Your game's graphic look like mine, but smoother. But I have an RTX 3080, R9 5900x and 32GB of RAM and my FPS is usually around 50-70. :X Get frame drops a lot too...

Another tip I find that might be worth mentioning (although takes some resources to set up) is put an SMG turret facing you're hatch/door. That way screamers that will inevitably show up when using the auger will be quickly taken care of allowing you to mine away freely. I've also had wondering hordes come to investigate. So when you hear the turret firing consistently you know you're in for a surprise up top if you go on out.

After some testing I've found that Coffee actually DOES work with the Auger, the issue is that because the Auger does rapid-fire, low damage, if you don't have a lvl 5+ auger with mods and full 69'er/motherlode, there's a decent chance you're getting <10 ore per hit and the 10% disappears because it's rounded down. The 10% also doesn't seem to apply to the bonus ore you get when destroying the block.

I like mining on this game, but I can only play it on the Xbox

Gained a sub! I was looking everywhere for this ! Ty for ur time and effort 🙏🏻🙌🏼

and with that 1 million iron you are crushed from your own backpack and die. good game.

i assume without the full book series 69 is better while with it mother lode would be the first choice???

Why is 20 stone per 400 health 'massively worse' than 25 stone per 500 health? Isn't that literally the exact same amount of stone per health? 5 Stone per 100 health in both cases.

Also going down 'to bedrock' seems like a bit too much work. Going down 50 should be more than enough to avoid dirt and should give you a much better chance of actually finding a node. I have seen no evidence of nodes always going down to bedrock so you might be tunneling under a rich field but not notice any ore for all you know if you try and mine from down to up.

Can you do a video on harvesting plant fibers next?

Laney x an unknown number = pi(e). Glad I found your channel. Thank you for the videos.

This gane is actually pretty brilliant

scotland

neet!

THANK YOU SO MUCH- in my 4 years of playing 7 days NEVER and I mean NEVER knew I could do HALF of that- THANK YOU!!

how can i see the heat info, and the coloured blocks stuff?

DebugMode

Thank you so much!
I am a miner and builder, currently stuck with the pick due to not being an explorer (friends do that bit), so I'll ask them to look out for this, it's really handy to know!

Great video, but what I really wanna know is how you get 200+ fps in this game. Do you have a video on that? :D

Maining....

I prefer picks

The augur looks like a ice augur used for making holes in lake ice to fish in the winter time.

Has vertical support always been infinite? I swear in earlier versions I used to tower up with frame blocks and they'd eventually give out. Also how do you see the heatmap and structural integrity? Is there a command for that? ALSO ALSO I can confirm mining iron generates way WAY more heat than other nodes. I got 0 screamer spawns when mining nitrate for 10 minutes but got well over 15 while I was mining iron for the same amount of it, it was really annoying actually.

Pretty sure the Bunker Buster mod also increases damage to Coal and Nitrate blocks, but I may be wrong about that.

Sneak when mining
The zombies wont see it comming? 😂🤷‍♂️

Excellent information! Thanks for sharing!

So I have a L3 Iron pickaxe and just got L1 of 69er. Kinda thought I wouldn't really need more than that.....So this game is bigger than I thought....

I'm level 100 and still haven't found an auger xDD but great video nonetheless

I just got a copy of 7 days to die and I'm rather plesently suprised how good this game is.....I mean if you know the game space engineers, when i fired up 7DTD and opened the shape menu, I yell out "SPACE ENGINEERS EAT YOUR HEART OUT" holy crap building in this game looks good and with the structural system, having to actually brace up a mine with support beams so fcking cool, I always wanted a game that had in depth mining such as mine collapses.

with an o

This game still in alpha ☠

Don't just dig straight down from a node (iron, nitrate, coal, etc.), they're there to show you where to dig. There's usually a good seam of material around the area. where ever there is a sand/gravel mix under the dirt or in the rock is the sign that you are in a seam and mine the area. Much more efficient than dig down, tunnel and hope that you eventually hit a resource.

I was super excited when I finally crafted my LVL 5 Auger. So excited I just kept going straight down. The second I stopped to figure out how to get back up I heard a zombie sniffing around. Apparently it was a screamer (the 1st I ever dealt with), whose scream attracted a few zombies and… another screamer. About 8 zombies later I finally ran out of stamina and they had their dinner. My Auger has sat in a box ever since.

I know it’s far more efficient so I’ll eventually try it again, but all my initial holes will be done via pickaxe. Once the mineshaft is closed off, then I’ll use the Auger to immediately make enough room to fight.
