📋 About This Mod
POI Scourge: Map Tracker & Completionist Tool
Paint the map. Leave no stone unturned.
For the survivor who wants to dominate the world of 7 Days to Die, POI Scourge is the ultimate tracking tool. Never again will you look at a building and wonder, "Did I clear that already?"
This mod provides automated, visual proof of your conquest by tracking the status of every Point of Interest (POI) in the game.
Made with a collaborative effort of jucah and Google Gemini
🗺️ Dynamic Map Marking
The core feature of POI Scourge is visual progression. When you eliminate every zombie within a location:
-
[]Automated Tracking: A permanent Checkmark is immediately added to your in-game map at that location.[/]
[]Tier identification: Map markers are color-coded by difficulty, allowing you to scan your map and see exactly what you have conquered.
[]Tier 1: White[/]
[]Tier 2: Green[/]
[]Tier 3: Blue[/]
[]Tier 4: Purple[/]
[]Tier 5: Orange[/]
[]Target Acquisition (New): You can now optionally enable Uncleared POI Markers. See exactly where the enemy threats remain (Tier 0-5) directly on your map.[/]
[]Full Customization: Don't like the defaults? You can edit the Hex Colors and the Map Symbols (Sprites) for every tier in the Settings.xml to match your map's aesthetic.[/]
[]Map Clutter Control: New buttons have been added to the on-map "POI Scourge Progress" panel. You can instantly Hide or Show Cleared and Uncleared markers with a single click to keep your map clean.[/]
'POI Scourge Lite' is a version of this mod that only has this map marking capabilities. It is available in the files section under miscellaneous.
✅ 100% Clear Verification
-
[]The Victory Signal: When the last zombie dies, a visual indicator (Victory Candle) appears, and a chat message confirms the location is "Scourged." If you haven't seen the signal, the building isn't safe.
[]Anti-Frustration System: If you have cleared the vast majority of a POI but can't find that one zombie stuck in a wall, the mod's built-in "Stuck Timer" will detect your struggle and force-wake the remaining sleepers so you can finish the job.
While the map markers are your badge of honor, the Scourge Tokens are your payment.
-
[]Every cleared POI awards tokens based on difficulty and zombie count.[/]
[]Use these tokens at the craftable Scourge Exchange Station to buy resources, drugs, skill points or vehicles to help you travel to the next uncleared town.[/]
[]Trader Integration (New): Your independent conquests now count toward your official Trader Standing! A new dialog option allows you to tell Traders about the POIs you have cleared.[/]
[]Gain Trader Tier Points for every cleared POI.[/]
[]Progress through Trader Tiers without being forced to run standard trader quests.[/]
[]Progression speed is fully adjustable via the TraderPointMultiplier in Settings.xml.[/]
🔄 Replayability (Infestation Beacons)
Do you want to re-run a favorite location?
-
[]Use an Infestation Beacon to reset a cleared POI.[/]
[]This removes the "Scourged" status, respawns the zombies to max amount, and allows you to clear it again for higher rewards.[/]
The mod is designed to fit your UI preferences. A Settings.xml file allows you to:
-
[]Toggle Map Markers: Turn them on/off if you prefer a clean map.[/]
[]Edit Colors: Change marker colors to fit your UI theme.[/]
[]Immersion Controls: Disable chat messages or physical victory objects if you prefer a strictly HUD-based experience.[/]
Fully translated for: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
Your map is your legacy. Scourge the wasteland.
