What is this MOD?
『Lam’s Increased mod slots』is a simple modlet that increases the number of “mod slots” available on the gear and tools in 7 Days to Die. In vanilla, tier 1–6 equipment has mod slots set to 1,1,2,2,3,4, but this raises them to 1,2,3,4,5,6. Vehicle mod slots also appear to be increased from 4 to 6.
In short, this MOD’s goal seems to be that even the same gear can hold more mods, letting you more freely customize firepower, defense, and functionality. Its category is Miscellaneous, and rather than something that drastically changes game balance, it can be described as a tuning modlet that slightly broadens the scope of modding.
Main Features
- Expanded slot count per tier: Since even low-tier gear gets more mod slots, it appears to become easier to build in mods from the early game.
- 6 slots at max tier: Tier 6 gear reaches a maximum of 6 slots, allowing you to aim for a “loaded” build that leverages multiple mods at once.
- Vehicles included: Since vehicle mod slots increase to 6, it should be easier to combine upgrades like fuel efficiency, storage, and speed.
- Lightweight modlet: It seems to be a small setup centered on value changes, so you can expect it to be less prone to conflicts compared to other MODs (*it may conflict in overlapping areas with other MODs that add or change gear).
Installation Tips
As with typical modlets, the intended method is to extract and place it into the Mods folder. Backing up your existing save before installing will give you peace of mind.
As an important note, the author appears to explain that “this MOD does not apply to existing items, and only takes effect on items newly crafted or obtained.” In other words, the slots on gear you already own won’t increase—be aware that the effect applies to gear you make or pick up after installing. If you use it in multiplayer, it will generally need to be installed on the server side.
Who is this for?
- People who want to enjoy gear modding (installing mods) more freely
- People who want to make use of mod slots from the early game to experiment with builds
- People who want to thoroughly customize their vehicles for their runs
- People who want to add a slightly upgrade-leaning tweak without being bound by vanilla’s limits
Conversely, for those who value the tension that comes with vanilla’s slot restrictions, it may feel a bit excessive. It can be described as an easy-to-handle modlet for people who want to conveniently boost customization potential.
