How to Upgrade Wood Frame in 7 Days to Die 1.0

 

Getting Started with Wood Frames

 

     In 7 Days to Die, the wood frame is your go-to building block. To kick things off, place your wood frame down where you want it. Now, to upgrade it, you’ll need to grab a Stone Axe, Claw Hammer, or Nail Gun—each tool has its own upgrade speed.

 

    

 

     Here’s the lowdown on each tool:

 

     - Stone Axe: This is your basic tool. It takes about three hits to upgrade a wood frame completely. It’s slow but gets the job done if you’re early in the game.

 

     - Claw Hammer: This tool is a bit faster. With the Claw Hammer, you’ll need just two hits to upgrade your frame. It’s a great middle-ground option.

 

    

     - Nail Gun: The Nail Gun is your ultimate upgrade tool. It gets the job done in just one hit, making it the fastest choice for those who want to get their upgrades done quickly.

 

 

Materials Needed for Upgrading

 

     To start upgrading, you’ll need wood in your inventory. Here’s how the upgrades break down:

 

     1. Wood Frame to Wood Block: You need 8 pieces of wood to upgrade your wood frame to a wood block.

 

    

     2. Wood Block to Reinforced Wood Block: Upgrade further with an additional 4 pieces of wood.

 

    

     3. Cobblestone Block to Concrete Block: Use 10 mixed concrete to upgrade your cobblestone block. To make mixed concrete, you need cement, sand, and stone. The cement is produced by smelting stone in a forge and mixing it in a cement mixer.

 

    

     4. Reinforced Concrete Block to Steel Block: For the final upgrade to steel, you need 10 forged steel, which is crafted from iron in a forge.

 

    

 

Why Upgrade Your Wood Frame?

 

     Upgrading your wood frame is crucial for surviving the Blood Moon hordes. As the game progresses, the hordes become stronger and more dangerous, so having a robust base is essential. Each upgrade increases the hit points of your blocks, making your base more durable against zombie attacks and other threats.

 

    

     The material costs for upgrading can seem daunting at first, but with a bit of planning, you’ll be fine. For the highest tier upgrades, you'll need to gather resources efficiently and use your forge and cement mixer wisely. Start with wood and move up through cobblestone and concrete as you gather more materials and improve your base.

 

     Upgrading wood frames in 7 Days to Die is a fundamental skill for any survivor looking to build a stronghold against the undead. By understanding the tools and materials required, you can efficiently upgrade your base and ensure it withstands the toughest of hordes. Whether you’re just starting or are deep into the game, following these steps will help you stay ahead of the game and keep your base fortified.
