This game is so addictive. Cannot wait for stable but the unstable is a blast, nothing like 1% set for runners for a small suprise. They scream now which is terryfying!

im even worse at the boid now

pine warren
#

Its so sad

#

Also i dont understand the new knapping system. To make a sharp stone you need a hammer but to make a stone hammer you need a sharp thing. Yes you can just loot a hammer and a knife but its not as fun

#

AND THE NEW MOODLES ARE BAD

pine warren
#

Ooo you can find the sharp rocks on the ground in search mode

hazy token
#

THEY CLASH SO HARDDDD :((

And you cant sleep on the ground for some reason

Woah ive just stumbled upon a dead body in the middle of the woods with a broken long stick near them and a note on the body. LORE

#

Ive achieved a spear willipy but i may be infected and or ate bad berries

#

it was just bad berries

#

My spear broke on 1 zombie

hazy token
#

I should do a zero to hero challenge

#

Out in da willdd

pine warren
#

Important stuff before you go out in the wild. Bring a wooden mallet, something sharp and a saw

pine warren
#

THey should have made a survivalist bear grylls esque class

pine warren
#

No one owns knives in this god forsaken place

pine warren
#

Why do no jobs know knapping

terse topaz
#

a bad way to go out

hazy token
#

Thats why I don‘t relax ever in zomboid

#

B)

pine warren
#

also i love the sheet bags you can make now

hazy token

Wait can you use bleach bottles for water?

I was just saying that you‘d chug bleach insteada draining it :(

pine warren
hazy token
hazy token
#

I have a backup copy of zomboid now

#

Well I actually have two

#

Since I had to migrate my old one

pine warren
#

Can you not wash rags in sinks anymore? or sanitise rags with boiling water?

hazy token
hazy token
pine warren
#

Also you can use bleach bottles for water but they are only 1 litre for some reason

#

i was expecting like 5 litres

#

The bleach was yummy btw

pine warren
#

My character became sad because i ate a salted chicken taco. This game is weird

terse topaz
pine warren
#

Actually I think my character is a female

terse topaz
#

maybes she likes stale old berries

pine warren
terse topaz
#

ok but who would use salt on taco

#

i can see why she became depressed

pine warren
terse topaz
#

well

terse topaz
#

wouldnt you become depressed after eating salted strawberry

pine warren
#

That's a totally different thing. Also depends how much salt is used tbh

terse topaz
#

you said salted food

pine warren
#

In the context of a taco Gawblin

pine warren
#

NOOO. I looked for a saw for like 2 hours today and then finally found one. Then i load my save back up and my house hasnt saved but where i got the saw from did save . so more saw searching

pine warren
#

I dont fucking know but it did. I have since found a saw tho thumbsup

#

holy shit

#

its that one drunk project zomboid emoji thing

NEVER MAKE A CUDGEL WITH NAILS. THEY ARE TERRIBLE

I‘m horrificially curious about how the sawblade bat runs

pine warren
#

I cant wait until build 42 is stable but right now im gonna play build 41. There is too many little things that annoy me about the unstable build froggoblush

pine warren
#

Not being able to wash rags properly, my save only half saving, everything seems to be heavier now, stuff seems rarer and the knapping system annoyed me,

pine warren
#

Oh one of them did hit me but still why did it launch me

Iunno what mods I use tbh

#

Aside from the old moodles mod

#

I really dislike the new ones

stiff zephyr
#

the are very cartoonish

#

ig the old ones were better

#

had mod for those too willipy

hazy token
#

Like they‘re well drawn, but they don‘t fit as well as the pixel art

#

Especially since a lot of stuff still uses pixel art

stiff zephyr
#

I hate this one the most

#

the rest is fine but this one

hazy token
#

I just wish they were pixel arty

#

Thats honestly it

stiff zephyr
#

still I like the new light system

#

controls and such were kinda weird for the first 5 minutes but then I like it, it's more fluent

hazy token
#

I feel mixed about the new killing sounds

#

They‘re more dynamic, but less meaty

#

And it messes me up sometimes

stiff zephyr
#

yeah, got used to the old sounds

pine warren

#

new crafting is fine, I had to think how do I get the workplace and realised that I need to craft by the table

my friend got zomboid today

he didnt know how to push

then he fucking died

he used a gun in early game

first mistake

then we all died

pine warren

May he have a better shot in B42 full release

snopidopi is learning

Thats where me and my friend did it

We had 97 water bottles

Zomboid gaming is always ?

pine warren
#

i miss the old moodles

#

Why does the drunk moodle looks so down bad

hazy token
#

I replaced mine with silly cat moodles

#

I do prefer the old ones all in all though

#

They didn‘t need changed

pine warren
#

Despite having more detail the new ones have less quality. Plus the moodles are just part of the games identity now so why change them

#

Maybe redo some of them in pixel art form to make them more clear but they didnt need completely re doing

hazy token
#

It was a completely unnecessary change of something classic

#

Glad someone readded the old ones less than three hours into the new build though

i used a molotov in the bar

the zombies burned

some of them were alive

and attracted the burning zombozos

#

then the base burnt down

#

i am very sad

Naurrrrr

#

Never use fire near the base

#

Thats how you DIE

the base was the fire department

He keeps dying

#

and our food fucking burnt down

hazy token

#

Honestly food and water has never really been a struggle for mesies

#

Houses have so muuuch

terse topaz
#

water has never been a problem for me because i never got to see it to shutdown

#

only onetime when the water shutdown the moment i started

hazy token
#

The water shut off isn‘t horrific

#

That being said I usually have barrels or some substitute for barrels by the time its gone

#

Power shut off is much worse

#

But I always hyperfixate on having gens before that

#

@pine warren they added ways to grind knapping

#

And masonry

#

In the wild

pine warren
hazy token
#

You do stuff with limestone

pine warren

#

Dunno what, I‘m half paying attention to the video

You knap it for knapping

You crush it for masonry

@hazy token do u pick a occupation on new character? or do u go unemployed

hazy token
#

what're you thinkin?

rain cove
hazy token
#

If rosewood, I recommend you do Lumberjack

#

It'll boost your axe skill, which you can utilize by going to the fire depot

#

you'll permanently swing axes faster

#

and just be better off with them in general I think

@hazy token @ember oyster Or anyone, any clue what this Trait mod is called?

Putting items into random shelves, containers etc. Do they ever despawn? (I know stuff on the ground does)

Don't run where you don't have to as well if you're worried about exhaustion. You can lose zomboids by cutting corners and delaying them with trees and fences

Go through buildings if you really have to.

It astounds me that people are so rude to people who make shit for free

rain cove
#

Yeah I don’t really see the big deal between the two (b41/b42), some people can be sensitive 🫠

sharp ravine
#

As someone who has now played both versions, they both feel like Zomboid

rain cove

@hazy token Not having any xp boost from reading "skill books", is that ok? I forgot to not make my character illiterate

Nothing you can do about stopping them from changing their actual Discord name but if they change it to something horrid then it changes in every server they're in

Could be role things though yeah

@hazy token You ever just press Q instead of W by accident?

Real zomboiders accept their untimely demise to a very preventable accident

I managed to survive

I'm doing Muldraugh this time

amber current

Westpoint seems more like the place to go once you have a vehicle, lots of guns and melee weapons, and some experience

rain cove
#

Is Muldraugh the suburb with all the fancy houses?

sharp ravine
#

It looks like there's houses a bit north of where I spawned, but it spawned me in the trailer park area

Have a good one!

turns out the bathroom was full of zombies

I think I killed all of Muldraugh

Or fuck it, clear knox county

I bet there's still more left, but I pressed Q in a wide open area and like a good hundred or so zombies came at me, I kited them for a while with blunt objects and killed them all

I recommend people play with sprinters at least on low, it adds soooo much flavor

You never feel safe doing aaaanything

pine warren

Stop bullying me with your skills

I‘m just saying its fun to really hammer in that anxiety!!

Its been a struggle getting past the first like month or two

I havent survived 2 weeks nvm a month sadge

You wanna push when they get too close and not be afraid of breaking away if you‘re getting circled in !!

I do such thing but then i get ambushed lol

It widens the area you can see behind your character

I use it for sprinters sometimes

sharp ravine

#

On the plus side I'm actually learning a bit about the game now instead of running around for 5 minutes before dying

#

Like before I didn't know that bloody clothes even mattered

#

I also learned spacebar pushes zombos away

do you know that ranged weapons accuracy decrease when moving yet

@sharp ravine
@pine warren feel free to ask questions about the game if you ever have them !!!!!!!!!!!

#

I fucking love probejt zomdoib :)

pine warren
hazy token
sharp ravine
#

I would just pray my character decided to shove (instead of swinging their weapon) if they got too close

#

And then they wouldn't and I'd die

hazy token
#

I looove the shove

sharp ravine
#

Shove is a game changer

sharp ravine

And a bit of debug menu to add some weapons

So you spawn with‘m

sharp ravine
#

Ooo

#

I'll check that out

hazy token
hazy token
sharp ravine
#

My veteran character spawned with an M9 so I didn't really need much, I just wanted an extra smacky thing to start with. That broke already so I've just been scavenging blunt items, probably going to craft a melee weapon soon like you suggested

hazy token
hazy token
#

Which I just don‘t think is very right

sharp ravine
#

Yeah that's fair

#

I'm still only on day 1 because I chose 4 hour days

#

But I've already broken a lot of things so I might need to adjust that too

hazy token
sharp ravine
#

I wanted to have some time before everything gets shut off without adjusting when it gets shut off

#

And to slow down the requirement to eat and drink a bit

hazy token
hazy token

#

o

#

Lmfao

hazy token
sharp ravine
#

14 days was the default for me

#

But like I said changing the day length also had other things I wanted

hazy token
#

Yuh! Girlboss it :)

#

I play too fast I think

#

18 days and 500 something kills with rosewood cleared

sharp ravine
hazy token
#

Make sure you also always have an alternative exit

sharp ravine
#

Is it possible to build fencing/walls of some sort?

hazy token
#

Absolutely

sharp ravine
#

Good, that's like the main thing the house is lacking

#

It's wide open

hazy token
#

Check out the build menu in the top left

sharp ravine
#

Thanks!

#

I've gotta go scavenging for some stuff but at least I've got a bit of an idea now

Muldraugh was not in fact cleared out

After giving this game a fair shake I can see why it's so popular

hazy token
#

I fucking liiive for zomboid

sharp ravine
#

I started a new game, though, not because I died but because I wanted to change some more sandbox settings

#

More zombos, longer time before things shut off, longer body decay time, stuff like that, took the starter pack too.

I’ll give Muldraugh a go - plus I don’t care if I burn myself out too quick now for Pz, didn’t know there was soo many mods

sharp ravine
#

I feel like the Very High zombie spawn setting in Muldraugh is almost as many zombies as default Westpoint, so I'm terrified to see what Westpoint looks like now

#

Gonna need to make a Zombo Killdozer or something to plow through them all

Yurrr

#

I like to post up in the gated community

#

Its pretty tight

sharp ravine
#

I went to an area to the west of that house that had a bunch of fancy homes

#

There were hundreds of zombos there

#

I'm glad I got a mod that changed durability because I'd be breaking my weapons so often otherwise

#

Also got one that made keys weightless again

hazy token
#

Yeah west point is a little hellish

sharp ravine
#

The way I've been playing is I go out on foot, kill as many zombies as I can, gather as much loot as I can, then try to find a getaway car to get back home with

#

I was a bit worried setting the game to no zombie respawns would end up with me having nothing to fight after a little bit but they keep on coming

I went around in a big box van thing and grabbed everything off every zombie corpse I could find

#

Made several trips

Fuck yeah

#

Get that tailoring xp

sharp ravine
#

Between this character and my previous one I've killed around 1500 zombies so far

#

So there's a lot of loot

sharp ravine
#

OH SHIT

#

I didn't check the alarms on the watches I dumped on the floor

#

Now the floor is beeping like mad

It looks like they just kinda stand there

bandits my beloved

#

never tried superb survivors though

sharp ravine
#

I wonder how many zombies exactly the different levels (insane, very high, etc.) spawn

#

@hazy token Would you happen to know?

warm dove
#

i know insane is 8x

#

i think very high is 4x

#

high 2x

#

low 1/2

#

all i know for sure is insane though

#

i am a pro

#

i just dont play anymore

sharp ravine
#

Lmfao nice

#

Yeah, it says stuff like 2x, 4x, 8x, etc. but I didn't see a specific number of zombies

warm dove
#

ohhhhh

#

it depends on a bunch of stuff

#

like your peak day and shit like that

sharp ravine
#

Yeah I set all those to very high

warm dove
#

for an actual numerical figure to be expressed that is

#

i know louisville on high population can contain over 15,000

sharp ravine
#

I've already killed like 2000 in Muldraugh and there's still obviously a lot more but I set it to no respawns so I'm trying to figure out how much I've cleared out

warm dove
#

no respawns

#

you my good sir/lady/bro are a chad

sharp ravine
#

Wait no

#

Not that kind of no respawns

warm dove
#

i cant play on respawns its so annoying

sharp ravine
#

Wait

#

I meant the no zombie respawns just to clarify lol

#

I've already died like 3 times

warm dove
#

yes thats what i thought you meant

sharp ravine
#

Ah ok cool

warm dove
#

i hate playing with respawns on cause i leave home for like in game months at a time

#

and then i come back and my home is flooded

sharp ravine
#

I'm doing 4 hour days but they still spread hard

#

I've played with respawns on when I've played with friends in the past and it honestly killed the vibe

#

You never feel like you're progressing

#

There's no safe areas to go and check out

#

I don't really care that much for base building so playing a nomadic zombie slayer is fun. I do have a specific house I built a log wall around just to store shit at though

#

Cars, weapons, supplies, etc.

warm dove
#

dude 2 hour days is like hell

#

i like pvp multiplayer but thers no good servers for it

sharp ravine
#

4 hour days but the power and water don't go off is what I set it for. Night time is brutal though but I just use that to sort out my loot and clean shit.

PvP multiplayer sounds like it could be fun with the right group. Prior to this run I only ever played the game with a few friends before and they all had their own ways of playing that didn't really mesh with mine.

#

One just used debug mode to teleport us everywhere, and another group just wanted to base build

hazy token
#

This is not exactly accurate to the heat map or anything like that, but I imagine it works something like that

warm dove
#

that too @sharp ravine

#

im p sure if u go into debug mode you can get a map with exact zombie numbers on it

amber current

Until after everyone was dead

And then shortly after him I started hearing a helicopter

I was doing donuts in a field surrounded by zombies

I can't find a genny anywhere near where I am

#

And I desperately need one if I'm not farming

#

Cars are pretty much out of the question for the short term too

sharp ravine
#

I'm not sure if those are completely randomized but I found two in a garage in the area just west of there, with the fancier houses

sharp ravine

Will still give it a look though

Gonna be one hell of a haul back

Especially with the spinters </3

Yeah

I am currently at 2996 zombies killed with my current character

This was only 50/50 sprinters

which I needed two cars for since I would get overwhelmed without using one as a weapon

I'm doing an OP kill as many zombies as possible run, lots of ammo, power and water doesn't get cut. Just trying to get a good feel for exploring everywhere and the basics before I punish myself

Project Zomboid is a game that's tone is demoralizing, insurmountable dread. No matter what, how, where, or when, the player will always die, and all of the effort to survive will have been for nothing. It does not matter whether or not it has been a day since humanity fell, or a decade; the bottom line is that you will die. But this does not necessarily mean the point of Project Zomboid is to curl up in a ball and lament over the impending doom. The purpose of Project Zomboid is to fight as hard as humanly possible against that feeling, to rage against the dying of the light, and to not let humanity go out in a whimper in the darkness.

To elaborate, on this, look at the tutorial segment. The entire time Spiffo is on screen providing tips, they are largely helpful, but juxtaposed by dread inducing, hopeless messages like "getting the blood pumping before it thickens and rots," and "ultimately your brain will become cold, dead sludge - so why not learn some carpentry?" These messages, despite being gruesome, only serve to demoralize whilst going through the tutorial. The significance behind these grisly quotes is because they directly reflect the game itself, and only serve to reinforce the fact that the player will constantly be fighting an uphill battle. Unlike Spiffo, the dead will only try to kill you but with none of the benefit of giving any help at the same time.

Aside from what the game directly tells the player, the music is another indicator of that underlying hope. There are tracks that feed off of the sorrow that comes with humanity's death throes. What Was Lost, The Zombie Threat, Everything's Gone. All of these tracks carry a sense of sadness, of the feeling that life will never be easy again, and that there is no future for human society on earth. But where those tracks feed off of the anguish, when the cards have been put on the table and the player is facing death head on, these themes do not persist. Sorrow breeds anger, and anger fuels motivation. Motivation brings hope, brings in the idea that maybe we can win this. Maybe We Can Win This, Gear Up, Determination, all of these combat tracks, especially when kicked into high gear when facing down a horde, all directly conflict with the themes that the player is going to die. These tracks bring high intensity hope into a battle, with stings that are oddly heroic, and a stark contrast to the slower, softer, more pain filled tracks. The world is dead, but you are not, and the very fact that you have the ability to stand your ground is a testament to your tenacity and resolve. To be faced with extinction and double down on seeing tomorrow.

Furthermore, the phrase "This is How You Died" is an iconic part of the game. It perfectly encapsulates that sense of hopelessness that the end of the world warrants. However, the phrase itself is so broad, that it is open to interpretation. This is how you died. This is your death. This is your story. The story of how the world crumbled apart but you persisted through it, the story of how you didn't buckle where billions else did. This is the story of how you thrived in a world that was gone, dusted, and over. This is how you fought, this his how you pushed back, and raged against the endless and insurmountable horde of the dead, before succumbing. This is how you died—fighting.

Not even a good game honestly, just okay. 6/10
