i have computer network knowledge. But i dont have any social network sadly.
i just broke into a house and some fuckass alarm went off
I have good networking but it’s due to pure luck
guys why does my host game get uh terminated when i try hosting it
Yea it’s rough developing it from the ground up
i hate the nepotism due to professional reference or insider relation.
Combos with wakeful for a free +3 points
using mods?
your char will only sleep for about 2 hour and then wake up.
i tried doing it w-out mods also same result
It is what it is unfortunately, but u can make friends/conections, definitely harder and boring tho
And then go back to sleep in an hour
did it work before?
never tried
might need to unsubscribe from all mods,, sometime they mes with servers
i dont like this. Social based to get job, not the skill based.
oh mah gaaaaawdd!!
okay
you can go back to sleep about after 2 hour
Ye, I hate it, specially since I’m shy normally
is you computer powerfull anough for a server, 8GB + memory?
But u gotta do what u gotta do 
nah, i wont do or follow nepotism even if i have to unemployee for long time.
i have 32 gb ram
yeah most proaabbly mods or need s clean fresh install, or you internet does not work.
With wakeful, the two blocks of sleep in sequence keeps you awake full day
I mean, you can just make friends tho
if none of that works goto https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1019767076094758924
you will start get drowsy moodle at evening, i ever play with restless sleeper and wakeful.
or even at 14.00
what i mean is getting job should be skill based not relation or reference based.
I learned this from a rimworld content creator who plays really high difficulty challenges... Have a nap built into your day.
what do you mean fresh reinstall?
like im guessing reinstall zomboid
he play on what mode?
you play pz before?
started one week ago
It should, but tbf social skills are also skills
You need to be home by then in extinction. Dark is dark
They say u need soft skills to get the job and hard skills to keep it
Usually maxes all the difficulty sliders and has a no pause mod installed that disables pause, and then he will have some scenario he or his users created
Which is true 
ik. But why must have profesionnal reference or insider relation?
max difficult, you mean 16x pop?
super sprinter?
I speak 3 languages, have a degree and am doing masters, internships and yet only reason I got job offers is due to networking, not hard skills
restless sleeper creates a lot of friction in your flexibility with handling different situations
if you never speedrun and always clear towns in a methodical manner, and you appropriately handle long roadtrips correctly to minimize risk, then sure
for myself though, i dont like it + it negatively affects your foraging radius
Why did I get timed out? 
so they want find a PERFECT criteria candidate with no weakness?
I think I was confused. I was saying I brought that concept to my PZ gameplay. But I learned it from another game
if you did might have a message from spiffo bot?
Nah, those skills were irrelevant
I got it due to networking
Bear in mind this is with veteran too
No, just tried sending a small emoji
Lmao

Nightmares make long sleep a dubious prospect as is
if i play with 16x pop, i would set to water and electricity shut off to never.
At the end they only helped for confidence and keeping it
and every zombie have weapon attached
not allowed to draw with more than 3 brackets
Just wanted to ask, there’s no way to grow Rice right?
Didn’t I typed a - followed by a hashtag
i dont remember the mechanics behind nightmares
@thick fern that’s y I said it wasn’t hard for me earlier
Networking is all they care about
wait, how did you get a job due to social network? profesional reference or insider relation?
I have a decent one
or family relation?
Noted 
My friends work in the area
Oooh that's a formatting thing. The bot doesn't like it when you make weird sized text
Project zomboid chat please lads
tripped that one before meself 🙂
@brave aspen @thick fern
your friend tell the hr and user to let you in?
move to gen chat if you wanna continue
Zombie zombie zombie axe axe, fire!
My bad
escher would be proud 🙂
how significant are the advanced versions of the furnace and forge
Is this a badger reference?
they allow the top end recipies like sword ( maybe sledgehammer)
You'll get there
build more stair stories

hum. what about steel pierced blocks?
i'm wondering what the minimum is for that, since that lets me get garden forks
its an option for the primitive forge, but i couldn't actually figure out the process to gtting the steel blocks themsleves
i saw there was some sort of iron-to-steel conversion somewhere within the whole mess, but i dunno where that begins either
or cut in ingot in half
Can’t keep talking about it here, but just to awnser this, it’s just that she sent me the thing first and gave a good recommendation
Pretty pls with a cherry on top?
i guess getting ingots is something that could be done, but i wanted to keep to recycling items that i found, which was gonna be important for my needs
you mean pitch black?
well, i get it.
you can reforge almost all metal into chunks which can then be blocks
my server wont start i have no mods i reinstalled zomboid this is weird
Cherry please with a pretty on top

yeah im just a little lost on the process
Wait
Is that a phrase to activate me as a Manchurian candidate
Must…kill…
So this is what class division feels smh
I finally understand it
i can get steel chunks from items, but all of them are actually...
i just chop cars cllect metal and make stuff out of it , rrarely melted anything
Yeah it’s awesome I love looking down
forged items already?
the only thing is iron pieces which are uniquely weird
why would you use the nail for steel chunk?
thats "iron " to "steel" with the,limestone, should be another recipie
Nice
Does anyone more in the loop of the project zomboid updates know if they have talked about changing the building system so that you can make spaces that register as an inside house as example there is warehouses with a second floor but when you build floors inside they register as outdoors.
Is that the one guy that always sets his stage on fire and yells about shoes
Can it be done with Diet Coke? Or does it need to be with regular?
We low lvl will unionize, just wait
Nice
and it is "reforged" at the forge not furnace
nail is just what shows up as an option, you dont have to
although i wouldnt be opposed to blacksmithing nails with iron to then turn them into steel
lmao
try asking in there , its a good question, i remember making my first house ever in 42 and getting nothing but frustrated with the damn thing not thinking it was a room and it sitll raining lol
well, just be patient to reach level 5
i reach level 5 about 3 day ago
thx man
Idk I found the GIF funny but i might as well live under a rock
very strange pathing to get to steel
I just wanna know the reasoning behind the park ranger change. Carving over tracking. Okay fine. But why. How does that make more sense for the profession.
Do the devs know what a park ranger is
Or do they think it’s just a guy in the woods carving all day
find steel item goto forge and "refoge" into chunks there
idk, i think tracking should be kept but with -5 cost
yea, i trust the process
wait i see it, or at least, i see something
does need to be advanced for stell tho i think
literally convert iron blocks directly to steel chunks
people will enver know the greatness of seeing that in theatres
with the power of limestone
Or how mind blowing meeting the architect was in the second film
only problem is i bet getting limestone en masse is really annoying
ok thats the wrong face lmao
check the forge, different recipies
They carve out pumpkins duh they don’t find them, smh my head
oh you're saying the forge can convert iron to steel?
i must do actual work now 😢 ill lvl up more later
good luck bro
nope, but is CAn make steel chunks from Steel items
What do gas masks / filters do? I thought they were cosmetic.
is there a reason why there's no sandpaper in the game? was it invented after 1993?
3 lv to go
i think its only the furnace that can really do it much, i looked up steel for the forges and it just brings up either nothing, or for the advanced one, creating sheets
but i did find some information on the steel chunks
makes more sense now
Just hasn't been added yet (if it ever will)
i gtg now too
Prevent getting sick standing around dead zomboids
Makes sense
Night time in extinction is incredibly spooky
Flashlight helps, but your whole world becomes that little cone of vision
I love the smell of 300+ rotting zomboids outside my lawn, beats the noise of 300+ alive zomboids breaking down the door
Honestly love it, makes you not want to stay out after dark unless you have to
Spoopy 
I always endeavored to keep a 9-5 schedule for leaving base so it slots right in as a good reason to do so
Its the apocalyptic ambiance ya gotta love ❤️
Enabled it for my sandbox apoc settings too
I like night time too since you dodge helicopter day if you live at night, but its a big risk
guys my server dont want to start, how can i know what makes this?
Side note; 2 months in and still havent found emergency broadcast radio station
Do you have the ErrorMagnifyer mod
yep
Helicopter day just happens when it happens
Just an "oh boy here I go killing again"
You can always just go through the possible stations one at a time
server stopped working(normal termination)
I considered it, but I like the need to check actual radios for the station
Then ya gotta just do it the hard way and remove stuff til it works assuming its modded, then add stuff back in chunks until it breaks again lol
Flipping through bands feels oddly cheesy to me though its totally legit
You ever tried brute forcing it? I wouldn’t recommend it but the option is there
Very fair
It’s actually the way we looked for radio stations back in the day.
Twist the knob until you like what you hear 
You at the mercy of whatever godawful music you can find turning the dial
???
when i host a server and try starting it vanilla b42 unstable
it loads for a bit
and terminates
i reinstalled zomboid
fresh
hmm a door can be barricaded open
no mods
Solo or Mp?
With a doorstop?
mp
Only letter in name of server?
Try crawling under?
Ugh, I just noticed what you’re using as a doorstop.
my server name is servertest
is was a house story, person had blown thier own brains out
They saw the recipe for brain tan and said, “welp”
Hmmm did you make a new set of settings after deleting the mods? the mods can linger and conflict in old settings
wait
wait..
i think i nailed it
I THINK I FUCKING NAILED IT wait
it didnt terminate 5 seconds in
OH MY GOD
IT STARTS
🥹
Congratulations, its a boy
i am so happy right now
BTW, what are you doing exploring at 23:40?
One screenshot: so many questions.
Umm they seem to have cheats on?
like debug?
thats certainly not debug mode
whatever your computer can spare, I personally set mine to 10Gb (10240Mb) and my game runs like melted butter
albertspammy: cheater, cheater, possible pumpkin-eater
i do see wym by cheats though, nevermind
what does the setting "everyones infected" do
if you die you turn
How so?
like the walking dead
yeah nvm i was looking at the wrong thing completely, it is debug mode
working on a kitchen what else do i need?
lmfao wrong screenshot cause i got something pulled up on the side
a sink
And the right bottom corner show the toggles
For me, the first clue was the bug icon.
generational catch
yeah i wasnt even looking at the original screenshot, was looking at something else on my monitor
another save conversion without errors. bless spiffo
A sink.
the bug was what i was looking for
and maybe some curtains or sheets for the windows
late night arrival from baandenburg stopin off at the fishing place
nah i live at the radio station
THIS is my living situation
what do you need them for anyhow?
Because a dev was told to justify Pottery as a skill and they came up with that.
creating an ingot to pierce so i can make a sledgehammer if i want to
because theyre.. ceramic
ceramic like a pot
pain
one could hypothesize that my main concern was the level rather than the skill
indeed.
breaking down jewlery now requires a hacksaw and not pliers?
i see. so painful. pierced ingots and blocks have so little use 
Fair point. I will retract myself from the conversation
also where is that?
this is not in patchnotes
What do you mean? You’re not making block mauls?
its fair since pottery is a skill almost anyone could forget about
it hit me like a truck when it wanted five
aight i see its in the middle of fuckin nowhere
exactly
That’ll be a fun place to live come May.
yeah
It's actually pretty well 'middle of everywhere'.. just hard to reach
also right next to the riverside Ustoreit
seems like a fun place to base
okay so basically ingot molds are downright necessary for you to go and find
it is
might go there next time i go on zomboid
Double fenceline around it, if you can repair it 
only for decorative purposes. too straining, although it could be that i last used them with outdated muscle strain settings (1.0 instead of 0.6 or so).
Hop, skip, and a jump from the Ustore.
however a personal favorite base location of mine is the westpoint Mansions
My first question about .18 is pretty much the obvious one: which mods still work? 
I was being sarcastic because I’ve yet to meet a maul I liked that wasn’t named Darth.
wait i take it back?
You, sorry. Sarcasm will literally fly straight over my head 🇩🇪
im in debug mode but this doesnt look like its asking for any pottery skill level
If you use it once, it's gone
Sometimes there are two recipes for things. Maybe that’s one of them?
the ingot mold?
Yup.. It's clay, it can't be used more than once
well that seems relatively fine
maybe
hopefully i wont need more than one sledgehammer lmao
steel molds are eternal though, i'm assuming?
Are there steel molds?
there seems to be
Those are reusable.. and yes, there are
you can 'cast' molds too
Oh, are they findable only?
Extremely rare finds
cast?

I ain’t never seen one.
Like, i've only ever come across 2 in all the runs so far
cant be rarer than the Pescription Monocle or the Large Keyring
surely
perscription monocle isn't that difficult if you know the stores where to look
(but true, they are rare..)
Large Keyring, honestly: never found those before 🙁
am i looking at the wrong thing?
Man, I found prescription reflective sunglasses and I was like, “Yay.”
Check the 'Kiln'
i havent a clue where to actually find them, i do want to mark them as a good location but kinda havent ever ran into one yet
also the large keyring is disgustingly rare
Cast blacksmith anvil sounds like the name of a goofy DnD spell that drops an anvil on an enemies head
Why would you want a large keyring?
Loony Tunes 
It holds more keys?
i dont believe it is there
findable only, it seems
purely to flex
like. the advanced kiln? it only has pottery recipes for me, nothing with casting
I guess now that we have long blade books it'll be nicer to play around with them
you ever run into your buddies and you both got the same keys to things
the only sad part is he's got a bigger ring than you do?
well that solves the problem
Well, could be I just misread or misinterpreted some of the recipes
oh the blades are very much in use. the block mace though ...
you got me both hyped and paranoid. i was doing quite a bit of smithing, etc and never came across casting molds
Alright. Im going to be the cook for our little group. What cooking implements (bowl, fork, different kinds of pots/pans) should I be on the lookout for?
I keep wondering why my game gets CTD all the time. Then I remember: I got a manual installed mod
🤦♂️
btw, has anyone tried to remove an advanced forge in multiplayer? cuz it seems bugged for me
it'll look like I removed the whole thing if I remove a tile
get autocooking mod. insist on it
but then I come back and the rest of the tiles are still there and I can't remove them
dosent work for me either
yeesh.
I ended up covering up the tile gore with an easter egg room full of coffins and whatnot
the blades are kinda like the other weapons in the game, ill be honest, from my perspective anyway
they're good, at level 10 they oneshot but a lot of weapons are really good at lv10 as well
We are playing no mods
I was surprised how strong the upgraded bats are
yeah man the bats are no joke
the rake bat oneshots like 50% of the time at level 4 long blunt
i think the strongest weapon in the endgame is still probably the spear?
just because of sheer speed
dayum, that's surprising
usally just the pots are good frying and grilling pans are a secondary focus and bowls are common enough not to worry about them in some cases
Mace is kind of OP.. as is the Katana
i understand, but i hope you know what you're getting yourself into. cooking 'manually' is a painful clickfest. for ingridients make sure to get those that add high cals like oil, butter, lard, but also the more rare but essential stuff for some recipes like salt, yeast
fire hardened spears with level 10 maintenance is really really solid
you can make them decently easily and they're fast as hell in swings, and they have their own special mechanics with crits
wait, you can fire harden spears?!
mace is similar to the hatchet for me, they're both really good
when was that added? 42?
yeah
yes
I had no idea!
only downside is i think the hatchet needs ax-pert to have a good edge in speed
yeaahh
I've never actually tryed the mace before
in yalls opinion what skill is the most painful to level up
how do you do the fire hardened spear? is it just a fire source?
Nimble
the base spear and the fire hardened spears are the best variants of the spear afaik
anything else has more weight which makes them drastically worse for large hordes
if you're going to lv10, aiming with no bonus
otherwise nimble sucks too
I have no idea how to level tracking in multiplayer
leveling up strength or fitness up to max without boosts is also painful
in a literal sense
to be fair, that's real to life too
iirc the boosts that you supposedly get dont actually work or impact those stats
i know they dont
just like how the running bonus isn't the same as the other stats
been going to the gym for a year and 7 weeks now, and it's still painful sometimes
im just saying even if they did it would still be painful
ah
i crossed half of rosewood on new update on apocalypse settings and i killed like just 50 zombies
and its day 23
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
the zomboids just dont like you
t r a p p i n g
or they are just planning to gank you in a shed somewhere
im not shiting the zs arent spawning
not even at the police station,theres like 5 of them
most houses were empty
fire station had like 5 too
what pop you playing on?
isn't the shortsword basically the long sword equivalent of the mace
Not being able to leave Rosewood is horrible.
apocalypse
so default?
just my fav spawn
thats really odd
ye
Ofc. But for this im going to be "at home" for the most part and be grinding things that need light during the day and everything else at night (you dont sleep in multi-player) and I can also grind some other skills while something is in the oven for cooking.
and it would have increased because the peak day can be like day 30
Sure, but do you stay there? Actually, I am this game.
no
i just start there cause its easy af
yes i like easy starts
call me nab
i base at the gunstore in westpoint or go to louisville
Hi nab
its y i play riverside
just better planned out start
what are the best settings if i want to just clear out locations from zomboids? do i set the respawn and migration to 0?
i play riverside too, but mostly rosewood
I don’t know even what that meant.
i guess so. since migration would just keep them in a place
Respawn, yeah. Remove migration and you’ll make it pretty boring, though.
if its 0
im not planning on surviving for more than a few days but i think ill keep the migration on then
is there a free trial for project zomboid? im thinking about buying it for my laptop but im not sure if it will run well so i want the trial first to test it
oh I can't post a pic?
Spongie Open Jacket's not working for the latest update is it?
now you’re a man, Man! Man man man
I haven't been in the server for awhile. How do I log onto b42
sorry got that song stuck in my head
Y do ppl play 41
42 is stable tho
41 is still more stable
And has better mods
I can't live without basements
because they hate change
saves are obliterated often
or people just like 41 better in a rare case
WHAT
in terms of gameplay stability, your saves are not that stable in the face of b42 patches
I’m never playing 42 again
Can't live without animals.
Nobody saw anything
B52? WHAT TIMELINE ARE YOU IN
lmfao
back during the beginnings of 42, each 0.1+ incrementation of the version meant that your saves were trashed
i spawned in dead for each save i tried converting
Modded save for 42.XY
Update to 42.XZ
This kills the mods
I am from the future, they added new skins and a new backpack in 50 btw
Get hyped
they added new skintones?
even aside from mods, your base char just gets nuked
playing build 41 is like basically hating yourself
so i can be a green human?
Fuck
I didn’t know this
Yep, before switching to b42 I thought I couldn't live without fancy handwork, but it's okay now
This latest update is fine though it seems
Aaaaaaaa
I’m scared
Played a couple hours earlier on old save, nothing broke
Does anybody know if spongie open jackets works as of 42.18?
well its apparently toned down since some people have saves from 42.16 to now, which is 42.18, but it can still happen any patch
Thought a rifle disappeared but I just misplaced it in a car trunk
just don’t pick stupid mods, youll be fine
the curse of B42.18 the save nuke
New run new you
true
you are
Oh yeah that was good especially with brutal handiwork and combined with the martial artist trait from More Traits let you beat zombies to death with your bare hands.
whats the longest yall have lasted on a single run
on build 42?
on either build
ive lasted entire updates
new player 32 days on biuld 42 so far
i think 5 months back in 41 until winter, where i got bored after creating my best cozy base with the knowledge i had
so far my current run is over 3 months
build 42? 2 months.. every time I get far enough, game gets update and I can brick my run again 
B41 got 1 and half year or so
basically
longest time ive ever lasted is about a year and 3 months on B41 but then i died due to food poisoning.
oh yeah
i get about 2-4 months between updates
👏
Red
i havent seen cozy bases in ages
while you were getting married to hot babes, i studied the long blade
for me the the long blunt
this 5 month old save was made with the goofiest park ranger build ever, now that i know the game mechanics much better
that's indeed the plan. back to the library, reading the final volume
also is it only the katana thats long blade? or are there more since b42 got a few updates
short blunt is legit
Machete, craftables
there's a lot more that counts into long blade
since when was the machete long blade?
there's a "shortsword" which is a 1.5 encumberance one handed that counts to long blade
Always has been
you can smith your own swords now
i thought it was short blade this entire time
always was i think
Long blade is unique in having one and two handed options
i used to use machetes in b41 to level up my long blade to make katanas last longer
cough axes cough
True
y'all gotta conver to spears man
The humble belt hatchet
im telling you, its great
yeah its hand axe and fire axe and stone axe right?
Pickaxe my beloved
bone hatchet is 1 handed, stone axe is 2 handed
rosewood firehouse base
saying this as a lumberjack player btw
you like inhaling gen fumes?
Spears are kinda nice, but I dont like crafting them these days
its not connected thats an extra
ill take it to the pumps
when power dies
If I'm spending time crafting, I may as well level carving and make some beatsticks
You collect duffles?
i think they tried to offset the tedium of crafting them with the vast increases in maintenance skill and fire hardened spears
Let alone any swishy swashy swords
"My first base" available in stores now!
that must be what park rangers do all day
doesnt most towns have only one gas station?
Or is there a benefit
Most have two at least.
i need posters and forgot to hang the deer head
collecting military bags is a nice way of increasing your car capacity, since you can overload the bag and then throw it on a chair and ignore the chair's max encumbrance
that, and also they're far more portable storage containers
👍
you can grind carving super easy if you have a bunch of animal bones. first the bone tools, later the fishing hooks. you can make them en mass and get a lot out of few bones. was probably one of the easiest to grind to 10
Muldraugh has 2, Rosewood has two (including one of only 2 8!! pump stations). Even Riverside has tree if you count "outer perimeter" ones
I skipped over so many hiking and duffles...
Hell, I just pick up the branches and broken handles from my tree chopping/killing and carve those up
i don’t even know what that is
Gets me to level 1 and then small handle spam we go
you will regret that a lot once you need charcoal 😄
Uhh a mod?
i figured
I just chop down more trees
no i don’t
I have no fear of the lorax
just test the mods dudes
I carved a highway out of LV central park
stop asking
No zombie is getting the jump on me if they didnt get me then
My paranoia is too high
has anyone tested how bad it is grinding out tailoring now?
you need lots of materials, but that's about it
Thats always been the hurdle
i would prefer to keep in mind whet her or not i need to grab sewer
So much clothes ripping
yeah thats always been the case
you can be rather creative with the grind from all the multiple different things you can use in sewing
but they've changed it where you need to actually make stuff for xp
yes, but it's not all down to rags and thread anymore
if you have tons of tarp and tape, that alone gets you multiple levels
so im wondering if anyone's had the grind to lv8 from it yet
I was thinking about starting that soon, I may report back if I do
i speak from experience
i am
i'd have to know what game mode you play on, if you have xp multipliers, what your traits are, etc
...
cause you have electrical at level 6
Why, the update already did for you
Look at it as an opportunity to do a new trait build
You always feel like you missing something every run
apoc, no multipliers, with skill books, fast learner
Don't pick stupid mods? There should be a mod that lowers your characters intelligence 🤣 like Fallout
no mods as well?
lol
but my character was so cool 😢
none that relate to skill, no. just car armoring, some additional clothing, rv mod. stuff like that
i was stuck at base for 100 days with torso fracture so i had all the time in the world to do grinds with the mats i collected over the months
huh. do you happen to know the amount of materials you neede for it?
is it normal in B42 for the host to only have 4 spawn points even though in single player they added more
.18 releases right when i wanna play the game..
i dont have any mods added yet so maybe i need to delete some files im not sure, i swapped from b41 to b42
i am building a chicken hut for farming but can i turn it sideways cause i cant seem to turn it
(I just read that subnautica 2 is only 3 days off from launch... whoohoo! another game I can go run to if PZ starts to kill me faster than I want
)
living situation of a god
holy base
tailoring? i am a loot goblin so the variety in sewing recipes took me a long way. a few levels at the beginning with classic padding grind. i have tons of thread, both looted and spun from wool. what i run short on is animal sinew, but that's only if you want to do armor
No well, big L and also sad face
I elect to ignore the water collectors, rain isnt real
oh 42.18 released
oh really?
That it did
i am building a chicken hut for farming but can i turn it sideways cause i cant seem to turn it????
i promised my wife and kids we would play that game
are mods from .17 still working?
Most, but probably a few that aren't
i generally like to be fast in developing my characters for the most part, so i cant say that i'd ever have a lot of variety in how i handle those things
back in 41 i used shotguns for aiming xp and clothes, and since i havent been on the tailoring grind
shit,,
okay, well, ty
oh wait, you're a modder
i wanted to ask, just out of curiosity
you think the stuff they added for modders is really useful?
made my first oopsie of the run and got scratched on the head by a bitter
i've seen complaints from mod devs about how updates keep breaking stuff and creating a lot of issues
i've been meaning to get into modding but rn it seems so uh
idk, i guess too complicated
the most straight forward, disregarding efficiency, is prob still the patch grind. just hord thread and rags, and maybe install auto tailoring for the level grind. personally, i enjoyed the variety. using tarp and tape and making tarp chest rigs past tailoring 4 got me a couple of levels, so did making some leather and fur pieces
modding is fun but it needs adaptability
Haven't looked at it much, didn't see anything that affected my mods. Mostly seemed to just be adding more methods to the LUA API and some MP handling optimizations. Never gonna complain about more methods
yikes, alright
i may have to experiment with the possible recipes then
i've been seeing comments about that, yeah
i like how they changed zombie speed settings
and have you had issues with your mods on previous updates?
aside from big ones like 42.13
it’s easier to tell the difference between say a sprinter vs a shambler now
all of the changes they made to traits made it so that i start with three maintenance levels, even when i have taken nothing intentionally for maintenance
just, updates that made modding more difficult
Hi, has anyone else noticed in the new version that if your character is too heavy, the game's frame rate drops drastically? It can even drop to as low as 5 fps if your character is too heavy.
Yeah there's been a few recently that broke things
i like how sprinters are loud now.
Most of the time it's a pretty smooth transition though
oh! that's nice
well, i'm assuming that as long as it's not a mod that really changes a lot it's not gonna break too often
i have seen mods like project summer car get abandoned though
Yeah, larger mods are more likely to break
Java mods like PSC even more so
i think once b42 is a lil more stable i could def get into it
right now i'll just keep learning coding and stuff
having shortsighted makes wearing respirators not that ideal, right?
Might as well start now, updates are never too bad if you already have a framework'
i guess so, i do think i need a bit more preparation first though
still, thanks for the advice! i appreciate it
i dont get how wearing a mouth respirator would affect eyesight
gas masks, my bad
respirator and gas masks serve the same purpose so i clump them together
Yeah, very unfortunate since RCP and PSC were really good mods.
i mean short sighted does suck but as long as you have glasses on hand.
yeah yeah, hopefully they get fixed someday
what was RCP again?
Hello everyone, so new patch arrived for unstable 18
Got a quick question if I already found idk
base.canteen or military canteen (patch says 500ml to 900ml) but when I loaded with my run still remains in 500ml.
So all changes are applied after I create new run again or do I need to find a new run? Of course no modded or anything
Realistic Car Physics
oh fuck i used to use that a ton
Existing items don’t change.
old item will not be updated only newly found opnes
Any particular mods that stopped working with 42.18?
Realistic Car Physics.
Too bad
None that I've heard of yet
yeah it seems like they do conflict the way i was thinking they did, sucks
i wish we could have improvised respirators
Project zomboid.
Project Zomboid.
Project Zomboid.
Dog goblin?
Dog Goblin II
Yall talking about dog goblin right?
Zroject Pomboid
Project Humanoid

Ankle holster with a snub as backup
nice for double pistol without reloading
My weight limit is so low I don't even wear an empty holster because it's too heavy
Swag
Maybe i find another loaded pistol
i put it there
looks cool
or maybe one day I CAN HOLSTER A SAWED OFF
Just put it on ur back
And be happy
You got an ankle holster okay
For a little bitty gun
The kind to use .38 Special ?
Still domes zombies but damn
Anyone wanna share good modpack for MP?
I tried using an 8x scope on one of those tactical rifles with the higher base crit
I really want snipers to exist in pz
changes hour by hour , wihtout the knowledge to build and maintain one , not much use
in an actually good way
cause this was still pretty bad
no such thing as a good modpack
only good mods
Maybe the good modpack was the friends we made along the way
lol
so much fun fighting at night
No, i want on my hip
Is there a spot where i can report bugs?
playing outdated unstable for the moment
gonna see what mods of mine are pissing people off in the comments

is your crowbar mod doing good this patch so far?
Haven't found any issues so far
Haven't checked MP but it'll probably also be fine
Do low fences have any effect on curbing casual migrations or do they treat as not existing
alright time to upgrade to 42.18 and test out my mods
do not block pathing so no effct
I found the bathtub bug finally
My guess is it'll be the last one you think of
Finally reached level 7 carpentry
I can now stop building crates
And start building my house
🙏
I’ve never seen Ekron with the lights on.
remeber you can have stairs staked together and walk freely aroun them now :
yoo can someone send me a some mods to play on B42
I play vanilla 🙁
This almost is a fake sloped roof
Guns of Marz is p good
well no errors loading in game
Also this feels really close to actual hills coming soon
guess I better check my multiplayer game too
b42.18 available on dedi server?
if you make it or a buddy makes it, sure
why not?
my friend has redownloaded the game files for server and its still shows 42.17 somehow
tell him to stop being stupid
lol
get on him
Make sure they're on the right beta
weve been playing on dedi for like 6 months and everything was fine for now
and weve got an issue just now
it is, its on unstable
Did they get the files through Steam client or SteamCMD?
ima make a cheese omelette as soon as I cann
https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1503427862437298187 maybe a fresh install, may need torevert to .17 for now
ohhh okay so its a bug rn?
did mods break with 42.18
may need a fresh install, and a new server,
ok mp server works
some will have some not
best asking in here tho https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1019767076094758924
for me no
but i also don't pick dumb mods
if you picked anime music party 2026 or some crap maybe it is
its a bit weird to me to call any mod "dumb" for catering to folks with harmless specific tastes
i dunno how mods handle themselves in terms of compatibility but thats probably worth focusing on
are you guys having problems to download zomboid mods too?
it's just happening with zomboid to me
nope
is there a google doc or something with all of the traits and every perk they have cause even the mod i have is confusing and weird
No thin skin smh
thin skin?
tbh i hate it
why vehicle knowledge?
Or well I'm trying to work out a build to use if i wanna max out every skill in an apocalypse run
rv mod
if you afraid tree scratch, just pick thin skin + outdoorsman
in multiplayer, vehicle knowledge is must have
but True RV is the original
yall do you guys know why my server loaded with no mods even tho i got them installed on the server
what wounds can u suture closed
but in single player normal apocalypse, i would say its okay but i prefer not have.
because i bet you didn't install them
winnebago horn goes hard no one can say otherwise
wdym by that
Like deep wounds, lacerations.
there's 2 spots on a host server where you gotta insntall them
you probably did the first
not the second
yeah the first
laccerated no need suture bruh
whats the second
show me show me
one second
my friends are depending on me for my great modpack
Doesn't need it. But I think you can though.
was in a middle of a build
damn it
you said mod pack
nope not helping
uh
I was thinking, does the devs plan to add achievements to the game? Because this game has potential for putting a bunch of achievements
mods???
i added them one by one
Make your own achievements
one second
Is sandbox
let me save this build
so its MY modpack
Is it dedicated or hosted?
yeah
Mine is dying on day one👍
alr andd do u just need a needle (does it have to be a suture needle specificlly?) and thread to do it?
i have no idea what that is
Hosted
Nvm
Shi misread lmao
People unironically speedrun doing this
so you are doing host?
Meanwhile me doing this without even speedrunning😭

With a fork and a microwave, maybe you could break the record
Yeah, needle and thread, but it's better with the suture needle and forceps specifically.
can you dm me this
no
so i can note it down
Thats alot of words
I understood what you meant LOL
god damn it
security guard my beloved
just say it one sentence then

what do you think about my build set?
Alr
what your opinion for my build set?
did you add dit?
Do i need to readd every mod there too?
Overkill, but I'm not the one to talk to about trait lists that wax long. I habitually keep my total traits to 10 or less
yes
Sometimes I'll just bump up the character points in sandbox. Whatever.
Like do you really need gardener
why 10 or less?
do i need to search it or does it sync with my subscribed
fear of blood is the only thing i’d get rid of, if this is light-modded or vanilla
freyfrey
Minimal negatives and alot of positive traits are nice to haves rather than needed
i play vanilla apocalypse with no mod
I only require of myself a means to beat heads in on day 1
i am tired as fuck and i cant do tha
Either raw str/fit or a weapon specialization
cool no server for you then
anyways good night thanks for helping
anybody know if spongies clothing still works? im looking to finally start a new save
i noted that down
this is my vanilla build
on day 1 with that build, i would strip all clothes off just wear sneaker and belt
reinstalled PZ
Correct, this is the play
lets see if the game crashes on load
why sunday driver?
I spawn with shorts and a shirt and sneakers and then I rip the shirt up for bandages
wait lemme reinstall 40 mods
that is can be death sentence
just dont get hit by zombie
shit looks like i will have to wait for my favorite mod to be updated before i play again then
i needed the +1 point. also my build is more early-game centered
i always go 10 strength 10 fitness im not gonna exercise in a video game
i go a bit more minimilist
I do like heavy armor, but early days are just so hot
by the time i get a car, i try to find one where sunday driver isn’t too terrible
It isnt worth the exhaust gain

i dont like the short sighted tbh
Fitness enjoyer
lol see that's just too much for me
i don’t blame you. i go eagle eyes every gun playthru 😆
why?
well more the the running bonus but yeah fitness expert has nice stats
Is there a mod for b42 that brings back old moodles
short sighted is good but I like wearing masks
with puny unfit short of breath you will learn more how valuable stamina is
I can’t give up drip
for me, that is, I just view a negative trait as also a trait that goes against you
meant to mention that too
yes moodles can be just bout anything now
lol
doesn’t firefighter also get a running boost?
and from 7 to just 6 carry weight, you will learn what valuable loot must have in early game and not hoarding
But I WANNA horde
lol
i get it
i just don't want to punish myself too much
fellow goblin
why bruh?
I wrote a whole python script to let me fit the maximum number of crates in my storage room
quick question: anyone else get Blackscreen as soon as they join in a MP-Server (even their own) followed by a game-crash? I don't have any mods, but since the update today my game doesn't work.
all you have to do is grab what is must have then find vehicle
well for one, I like inventory space
my game crashes when i make a new map on solo, i can't even move and it crashes instantly to desktop, does anyone have this problem? 42.17 worked fine this update makes my game crash
find a bag
mfw people play the sandbox game differently
well just fitting what i want to wear weighs more than that
thats the problem
lol
what game mode is this?
no way you not pick slow heal, slow read, weak stomach
why i cant play on mp with my friend
lol im fine with others doing it
im mjust not going to lol
just take off your clothes, you have 3 month before october cold season.
why not pick organized? its good if you have vehicle
give significant boost for capacity
(absolutely unrelated to anything here: but WHOOHOOO!!! My old file isn't bricked 💪
Only one mod that is pumping out errors like it's filling up a bucket in a tropical storm 🙁 )
Always go organized, I'll play 16x but I'm not insane
30% is indeed nothing to ignore. But for Non-Hoarders, it's not that big of a deal.
yeah im kind of a hoarder
its kind of my thing
I'll just show my base location and I think you'll know enough 
in early game, you need to loot skill book, recipe, vhs too. that fill about 60-70% vehicle capacity even with organized
ive seenit lol
straight up meth head
This beauty
