If you want to get around the world of 7 Days to Die a little more freely, the “Dirt Bike” vehicle MOD by bdubyah is a great fit. Here we’ll give you an easy-to-follow rundown of what this MOD is all about.
What kind of MOD is it?
“Dirt Bike” appears to be a MOD that adds a one-seater dirt bike (off-road motorcycle) to the game. It’s positioned as a speed-focused vehicle that runs more nimbly than the vanilla minibike. The author’s comment jokingly adds, “A fast dirt bike. And no neighbors to complain about the noise!”, which hints that this MOD is aiming for the exhilaration of tearing across the wasteland.
As far as vehicle-adding MODs go, its design is simple, and it seems to answer the “I just want one more way to get around” need head-on.
Main Features
- Nimble handling: Its strong suit is a fast, spirited ride, making it well-suited to exploration and emergency travel.
- Good fuel economy: According to the author, its fuel mileage is good. It seems easy to take on long trips while conserving gas.
- Smaller carrying capacity: On the flip side of that good fuel economy, its cargo capacity is said to be on the small side. Rather than hauling large amounts of materials, it’s better thought of as suited for lightweight solo trips.
- One-seater: Basically, it seems to be a vehicle designed for solo travel.
*Numbers and finer behavior may change with the version or with updates to the base game, so please check the actual performance in your own environment.
Installation Tips
The distribution page clearly states that “it must be installed on both the server and the client.” If you’re playing multiplayer, note that it won’t work correctly unless everyone on the host (server) side and the participant (client) side has installed the same MOD.
Installation itself is the same as with typical vehicle MODs—it seems to be the kind you extract and place into the MOD folder (the 7 Days To DieMods folder). Before installing, it’s reassuring to back up your world and check the corresponding game version. If you want to use it on our community’s multiplayer servers, we recommend consulting the staff first before proceeding.
Who is it recommended for?
- People who want to add one easy, fast way to get around to the vanilla vehicle lineup
- People whose play style is to explore and travel quickly on their own rather than haul big loads
- People looking for a simple, easy-to-handle vehicle MOD rather than flashy feature additions
Conversely, if you place importance on mass transport or carpooling with lots of people, a different vehicle MOD with larger carrying capacity might be a better fit. Why not start by trying one out as a “lightweight ride”?
