After years in early access, 7 Days to Die has finally reached its 1.0 milestone, bringing with it a host of changes and improvements. While some players are still adjusting to the new skill progression system and other major overhauls, a seemingly minor quality-of-life feature has been quietly winning over the community.
This hidden gem, which many players may not be even aware of yet, has the potential to make the game significantly easier and more enjoyable for both new and returning players alike.
Locating 7 Days to Die Resources Just Got a Whole Lot Easier
The feature in question was highlighted in a recent post on the r/7daystodie subreddit, where user u/butiamnotabadperson shared their discovery.

That’s right—when you track 7 Days to Die achievements, the game now displays visual indicators on your HUD, showing you where the required resources can be found in your immediate vicinity.
It’s a small change, but one that can make a big difference in a game where it’s all too easy to overlook important items while exploring the vast, zombie-infested world.
Players were quick to express their appreciation for this quality-of-life improvement.

And while some veterans may be unhappy with changes to skill progression and the removal of certain beloved features, it’s clear that The Fun Pimps has also included several thoughtful additions and improvements.
Honey, I Tracked the Stumps
One player pointed out how this new feature can be especially useful when it comes to gathering specific resources, like honey.

Honey, of course, is a valuable resource in 7 Days to Die, particularly in the early game when players are struggling to deal with the dreaded infection problem. Being able to locate those easily-missable tree stumps could be a game-changer for many players.
But it’s not just about honey. When used correctly, this feature has the potential to streamline resource gathering across the board, from tracking down ore veins to finding those last few pieces of wood you need to finish your base upgrades.
As players continue to explore the 1.0 build of 7 Days to Die, both on PC and on consoles, it will be interesting to see what other hidden gems and helpful features they uncover.
But one thing’s for sure: with changes like this, The Fun Pimps is proving that it’s still committed to refining and improving the definitive zombie survival sandbox RPG—even after all these years.
