7 Days to die is a survival game in the same vein as minecraft. In many ways it is like a more combat focused minecraft. However, it does have a few unique tricks up its sleeve.

  1. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but just to hammer in the equations for me
    I wanted to see if I could isolate n from the corner pillar equation [n^2 *
    m + 2 * n * m = 2ML] into your answer [√2 * SI + 1) – 1]. However, I ended
    with n = ³√SI. The way I went about it was as follows:
    Divide both sides by m –> [n^2 + 2*n = 2*SI]
    Divide 2 from both sides –> [n^2 / 2 * n = SI]
    Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the 2 from below the n^2 –> [n^2 *
    2n = 2 * SI]
    Combine the n^2 and the 2n –> [2n^3 = 2 * SI]
    Divide both sides by 2 –> [n^3 = SI]
    Cube root both sides to isolate n –> [n = ³√SI]

  2. Excellent explanations! I probably won’t be doing much calculating since I
    prefer my building supports to be overly redundant in case of zombie
    related damages! The explanation on composite structures was very good!

  3. Great video!
    Thank you for introduction into calculating the SI !
    Do you have tips for building failsave pillar-based structures?
    i.e. a zombie-horde rips down one of your pillars?

  4. Holy shit that was awesome, the calculation part is bit much for me but the
    tutorial gets 10/10 grate work, if you ma by have any idea how to make the
    calculation part at least a bit simpler for us dolts that would be amazing,
    but overlay all of this had the answers that i was looking for thank you!

  5. what option do I use to be able to pick up the wood frames and the rebar
    frames.
    because I can pick them up on my server but my brothers server we cant.
    thx for the info. also im on 11th day and the metal iron stuff you pick
    from the ground is not respawning I have it set to every three days. why
    don’t it respawn. also can I restart my server? its the free one not
    rented. thx again, Jason

  6. this is exactly the kind of explanation I needed. Couldn’t understand why
    our pillar based buildings were collapsing. but i still dont understand
    how i can make a multi platformed base and build walls. how high can i
    build walls? how is weight passed on between multiple pillars over multiple
    vertical points. its very odd.

  7. How do multiple pillars affect the structural integrity? I assume adding a
    second corner pillar opposite the first one would be a good idea, but I
    doubt it doubles the effectiveness.
