The Rotten Basket is a prefab (POI/building) MOD for 7 Days to Die released by its creator, CxMonstah. It’s a single-building POI set in a derelict supermarket, and it’s reportedly built out using the “sign technology” introduced in recent versions of the game.
What kind of MOD is it?
This is a Tier 4-class abandoned supermarket with a comparatively large 60×60 footprint. According to the description, it’s designed to spawn naturally in towns (urban areas), so it appears intended to be placed in cities during world generation. It’s characterized by the atmosphere of a rotten, ruined grocery store, and it’s built to be enjoyed as an exploration-focused POI.
Key Features
- Large Tier 4 POI: At 60×60 in size, it’s a single building with a commanding presence as a large facility within a town.
- Supports all quest types: It reportedly supports the various quests you can take from traders, such as Clear, Fetch, and restore. It seems intended to be worked into the rotation of trader missions.
- Uses the new sign technology: It appears to use the recently added sign-related systems to express store-like details.
- Spawns in urban areas: It’s meant to appear in randomly generated (RWG) towns, so it’s easy to work into your game without any special manual placement.
Installation Tips
As with typical prefab MODs, the basic approach is to place the downloaded folder into the Mods folder (or, for standalone prefab distributions, the designated prefab/POI storage location). Since the installation location can differ depending on the distribution format, be sure to check the included readme or the Nexus page instructions. Note as well that reflecting natural spawns in RWG often requires generating a new world. If you’re using it on a server, it’s reassuring to confirm in advance that the POI is correctly reflected on the server side. From the version notation (T4 / 3.0), it’s also a good idea to check compatibility with your game version before installing.
Who is it for?
- Those who want to add more variety to town exploration
- Those looking for a large, meaty Tier 4 POI
- Those who want to freshen up the rotation of trader quests
- Those who enjoy the atmosphere of a ruined supermarket setting
Since it appears to be a pure POI addition that doesn’t come with any special gameplay changes, it’s likely an easy MOD to work into a more vanilla-leaning setup. For details and the latest compatibility status, be sure to check the original Nexus page.
