Experience of a player who only played A21 and just over 200 hours

[Sparrow]

As an overall I really enjoy the game. However it seems trader quest rewards are extremely over powered. A friend and I put the difficulty slider 1 notch under the hardest difficulty we set the zombie amount to maximum and set feral speed to jog. The run just seems way too ridiculously fast.

NOTE: I played with a veteran group for a few days as they explained things and helped me get a grasp of how the overall game works. After that I started my own game and bought the game for my friend so we could go have some fun with a new game for a while.

We are looking at starting again here shortly, but we plan to put the following restrictions on ourselves.No traders (With the exception of buying water purifiers.) We are also going to be applying some mods.
We are looking for mods that expand on the zombie types but we don't want ridiculous one that make no sense. We seen one that had a flying shark with a gun on its head and thought that's just way too much. We didn't even look at the mod any further.

If anyone knows of mods that do the following it would be greatly appreciated.
More POI's
More zombie variety but not outlandish ones like the flying shark previously mentioned.
Medieval time overhaul (Weapons and landscape with villages and castles, undead armies with full armor and horses.)
Futuristic overhaul (Robots etc, think terminator movie and you play as the resistance trying to survive).
-----Obviously we wouldn't use both overhauls at the same time but would provide options.
Massive city with sky scrapers (Think major city size like new York).
Tier 7-10 additions. (We are looking for more difficult tiers of zombie infested area to clear out.
a mod that changes Trader rewards from Full items to item Parts so you can craft the item yourself up to what your crafting skill level is.

Final mod I am personally adding to the list is based on what some people have previously mentioned.
I would like to call it: Crafting to perfection

This mod is because I have seen some people say there use to be a do and learn system where you just spam craft items to learn. I understand this could be a good thing but is there a mod that has it where for example, you craft stone axes and after crafting enough stone axes you can craft the perfect stone axes, but it does absolutely nothing for and tier 2 or greater axes? Basically if you want to be good at crafting a Fireman Axe, you will need to craft a crap load of fire man axes. Just spamming stone axes would do nothing to help with a fireman axe.

Thank you all in advance,

If you go to Nexus, there is about 150 pages of 7D2D mods. I have not looked for the type youre asking about sorry, so not sure but trying to help. 👍🏻 Its alot to go through but maybe it'll be there.

Darkness Falls is a great mod you should check out. There is a bunch of custom POIs, new zombies as well as old ones that were taken out of the vanilla game. Some big cities in the pre-gen and best part of it all is he removed the new magazine system so it is learn from doing. Want to get better with shotguns? Just use a shotgun and you will improve your proficiency with it.

After playing this mod I doubt i'll ever go back to vanilla as this mod has brought back a lot of things from vanilla that should have never been removed to begin with IMO.

You would be better off reverting back to A20 since a lot of the mods you are asking for have not been updated for A21

More POI's:
The compo pack is your best option but it's still being updated for A21. You can check the progress here:

More zombie variety:
Try Guppy's zombie pack. It's been updated for A21
https://gitlab.com/guppycur/A21-Mods/-/tree/main/gupA21-Zombies

Medieval time overhaul
This is only compatible with A20

Massive city with sky scrapers
This can be done with the compo pack

I just had to comment about the flying shark with a gun on his head. I'm not even sure what i want to say, I just wanted to say something.

Is there anything new with this mod?
Like new zombies,guns,skills,etc.
Feels like I'm just playing normal 7D2D with extra steps.

Neebs Gaming is currently in a late-stage of their playthrough of D-F, if you want to see what's there.

I already finished the mod. It doesn't really change anything big to be honest. Brand new demons still work on doofus A.I and just use existing attacks in the game. Brand new tools and weapons is essentially just number upgrades to block damage and weapon nothing crazy.
I did like the overall change to the recipes though if that's intended.
Might try out Apocalypse now mod someday.

Did you drink the "unleash hell" potion and face some demon lords ? gamestage 700+ iirc .
DF only starts to get fun once you start getting actual demons not the demonic zombies.

Yeah that was my last horde. Felt like there should be another tier of item because there was nothing to do by the end and it took a long time for the demon lords to start spawning in that I just drank that potion out of curiosity.

Age of oblivion , war3zuk , war of the walkers and joke mod are all worth a playthru.
Rebirth and undead legacy too once they release for A21.

Are they all compatible with each other? I was looking into Age of oblivion and seems like its an improved Darkness falls? I might play it once I get the bros to join me.
