7 Days to Die V3.2.0 B9 Stable: Honk at traders & Combine Station for everyone

V3.2.0 is officially Stable. After the Experimental phase (including b6 and b9), the QoL highlights are live for everyone: honk to open trader doors and a clearer Combine Station UI with result preview.

If you were already on Experimental, Stable matches that V3.2.0 line. Dedicated servers need the Default Public Version branch (V3.2.0 Stable) — if clients can’t connect, the server is often still on the wrong branch.

Context: TFP highlights smaller updates between major releases (3.1, 3.2 …) with a dedicated team for bugfixes and QoL — in parallel with V4.0. A player survey on QoL priorities is planned.

Highlights since V3.1.0

HONK HONK — trader doors by horn

Outer trader doors open with your vehicle horn. On-screen text shows when you are close enough. Not every door will fit your vehicle. Interior doors use a no-honk variant (oldWoodDoorNoHonk) — including at Rekt, Hugh, and Joel.

Combine Station UI

The Combine UI makes the result and final stats easier to read. A plus mark shows an item was combined. Combining now requires an explicit button press — no more accidental merges.

Quick notes for players

• Combine Station: clearer results and stats — see our Item Magnitude overview and Item Mods.
• Traders & honk: profiles for Rekt, Joel & co. in the trader database.
• Dedicated: switch to Default Public (V3.2.0), keep clients and server in sync, and back up first.
• We already covered the Experimental phase (B6/B9) — Stable makes honk and the Combine UI the default for everyone.

Welcome to Stable V3.2.0 — don’t forget to honk at the trader door.
