However, building the base can be tough and players usually incur various injuries. This was the case with one player who found himself falling from the roof while building, but he also found a new bug as well.

7 Days to Die always pushes players into various harsh and difficult situations where survival is always on the line. As players finally find their initial success in survival, they try to expand their base to compensate for more resources, tools, and a better standard of living.

However, sometimes building a base can be a very hectic task as it requires players to collect various materials and then make them. During building tall buildings players have a high chance of falling which usually results in broken legs. To fix that broken leg, they use casts and take some meds (to regain HP).

One player TrellixShadowryder on Reddit also finds themselves in the same situation where they broke their legs after falling. However, after placing the cast on the broken leg, they got back to work and managed to fall again. This time, they got the initial notification of a broken leg but there was no damage done to the leg and it was fine (notification went away as well).

This might be a new bug, but it’s going to be a very useful one as this will not only make the broken legs, not an issue during subsequent falls but also save the cost and time of making new casts every single time.
