The Storm’s Brewing update adds dynamic storms, hazardous biomes and new environmental challenges to 7 Days to Die. As a server owner, you can tailor these mechanics to suit your players by tweaking the weather and biome settings in the Wabbanode Control Panel. This guide shows how to control storm intensity and biome progression without editing configuration files directly.
Understanding the New Settings
Storms can randomly occur in different biomes, dealing damage and forcing players to seek shelter. Biome progression introduces hazards that require completing challenges to survive harsher environments. The control panel exposes settings to adjust storm frequency, storm damage and biome unlock requirements.
Customizing Weather and Biome Settings
- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.
- Open the Settings tab.
- Adjust the following options as desired:
- Storm Frequency controls how often storms occur. Lower values reduce frequency, while higher values make storms more common.
- Storm Duration sets how long storms last. Short storms provide quick hazards, whereas long storms create extended challenges.
- Storm Damage modifies the amount of damage storms inflict on players exposed to the elements.
- Biome Progression Difficulty determines the number of challenges required to unlock protection in harsher biomes.
- Click Save to apply your changes.
- Start your server. The new storm and biome settings will take effect immediately.
Tips for Balancing Storms
- Test different values with a small group before rolling them out to the entire community.
- Consider combining storm settings with difficulty levels for a cohesive experience.
- Remind players that shelter and biome badges can mitigate storm effects.
By customizing Storm’s Brewing settings, you can create a dynamic yet fair environment for your players. Adjust storm frequency and biome progression to match your community’s play style and keep the apocalypse exciting.
