Enable Twitch Integration

To begin using 7 Days to Die with Twitch Integration you'll need to connect your Twitch account.

Go to Options ► Twitch and then select Connect.

Then follow any on-screen instructions that appear.

Once you are Connected you can exit the Twitch Settings Menu.

Enable Extras

Extra Commands are just too painful for normal Twitch Integration.

These commands are disabled by default, but can be activated for those seeking a more challenging experience, giving their viewers more ways to affect gameplay.

Activate some Extra Commands.

Good Actions

Your Community can help you during gameplay by spawning Supply Crates to gift you items, making you stronger with Buffs, or targeting nearby Enemies with actions like Ragdoll or Burn Near.

Bad Actions

Some viewers may prefer to make your game more challenging by spawning Enemies, making them stronger with Buffs, affecting the world's Weather, or adding Debuffs like Slow or Confuse to you and your party.

Bad Actions will contribute towards the Twitch Cooldown. Cooldown options can be configured in Twitch Settings.

Helper Rewards

By default, every 15 minutes, the viewer who used the most Good Actions will receive the Top Helper Reward.

The time limit and amount of Pimp Points rewarded can both be configured in Options ► Twitch then selecting the Votes tab.

Channel Point Redeems

Your viewers can also spend Channel Points to help you with Mystery Supplies or spawn deadly Murder Chickens to try and take you out.

Votes Completed

Your viewers can Vote between several options to affect your game without spending any Points.

There are several categories including Silly Votes, Boss Votes, Buff Votes, and more!

The frequency of Votes can be configured in Options ► Twitch then accessing the Votes tab.

Pimp Pot

A percentage of all Pimp Points used on commands go into the Pimp Pot.

When you die from a user initiated command, the viewer who used the command that killed you will win the Pimp Pot, adding those Pimp Points to their total.

Bit Pot

The Bit Pot is composed of a percentage of all Bits used on Bit Commands.

When a viewer defeats you with a Bit Command, they will earn both the Pimp Pot and the Bit Pot.

Boss Hordes

A Boss Vote is a type of Vote that spawns a Boss Horde, which consists of a Boss and a group of Minions.

There are many types of Boss Hordes, giving either the Boss, the Minions, or both special abilities or specific requirements to defeat them.

Kill Spawned Zombies

Zombies spawned with Twitch Integration are based on the player's Action Stage. As the player advances in the game, their Action Stage increases. This causes Enemy spawns to grow more difficult, and more advanced commands become available for viewers to use.

Viewers' names will appear in Purple above their head when targeted at you, and in White when they target someone else.

Kill Spawned Animals

Viewers are not limited to spawning Zombies. They can also spawn Animals, including Mountain Lions, Coyotes, and Bears, oh my!

Animal spawns will also increase in difficulty with Action Stage.

Kill Zombies with Slow

Slow reduces the movement speed of the player and their party.

It can be counteracted by using Fast.

Kill Zombies with Weak Combat

Viewers can use commands such as No Melee or Weakened Range to reduce your combat abilities.

They can be counteracted by using their inverse command. For example if Weakened Melee is active, using Boost Melee will cancel it.

Kill Zombies with Anti-Leech

Anti-Leech reflects some of the Damage done to Enemies back to the player.

This can be counteracted by using Leech.

Kill Zombies with Keep Moving

Keep Moving causes the player and their party to lose Health while they stand in one spot.

The only way to avoid Damage is to keep moving.

Kill Zombies with Confuse

The Confuse command causes the movement controls for the player and their party to become Reversed.

Kill Zombies with Deafen

Deafen muffles the in-game sounds that the player and their party hear.

Kill Zombies with Don't Miss

With Don't Miss active, any player attacks that don't hit an Enemy will cause them to lose Health.

Kill Zombies with Headshot Only

Headshots Only causes any Damage done to any body part besides the Head to be nullified.

Kill Big Head Zombies

Big Heads is a command that enlarges the heads of Zombies and Animals.

Kill Bucket Head Zombies

Bucket Heads adds Buckets to the heads of Zombies and Animals. This greatly reduces the amount of Headshot damage that Enemies receive. Has no effect on Plants.

Kill Tiny Zombies

Tiny Zombies transforms Zombies into smaller versions of themselves.

Kill Zombies with Celebrate

With Celebrate active, killing any Enemy results in a spray of Confetti instead of a corpse.

This includes Animals, so I hope you weren't going to eat that.

Kill Zombies with Silly Sounds

SIlly Sounds is a silly action that causes many normal game sounds to become Silly.

Kill Dancing Zombies

Dance Off causes Zombies to break out in dance for a time.

After busting some moves, they will Charge aggressively towards the player and their party.

Homerun Derby

Homerun Derby involves using Melee Attacks to launch Zombies into Balloons for Points. When the event ends, the player and their party are Rewarded based on their total Score.

Blue Balloons are worth 1 point.

Green Balloons are worth 2 points.

Red Balloons are worth 3 points.

Swing for the fences!
