7 Days to Die V3.2.0 EXP rolls out with trader door honking

The V3.2.0 experimental build for 7 Days to Die is now available on Steam's latest_experimental branch. To opt in, right-click the game in Steam, open Properties, go to the "Game Versions & Betas" tab, and select latest_experimental from the drop-down.

Vehicle horns now open trader doors. All outer trader doors react to the horn, though not every doorway will fit the vehicle. An on-screen prompt tells you when you're close enough to honk. A new oldWoodDoorNoHonk door variant was added for trader interiors, and the interior oldWoodDoor in Trader Rekt, Hugh, and Joel was replaced with it.

The combine station interface now shows the result and its final stats more clearly. A plus marker indicates an item was combined, and combining now requires hitting a button.

Added

• New buff icons for chicken stress events
