[supple vale]

Love the idea of food templates. Will we be able to have our own? f.e. my fav stew is 3xcabbage, two portions of rabbit, dried beans, tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Now it would be a killer if I could save this item as a "custom" recipe in game and save myself from a myriad clicks.

[solar crescent]

METAL BATS FINALLY

[rare garden]

SO ill get to fashion my very own shank?

[grave halo]

All we need now is the costume and we're golden, lads

[wispy blade]

TF2 vibes with baseball bat

[rotund basalt]

BONK!

[umbral vault]

METAL BAT

METAL BAT

[wispy blade]

[rotund basalt]

@empty anchor Any chance to get the stunlock on guns fix in an unstable fix soon? Kinda wanna have it on the server to avoid magdumps

RIP

[foggy stream]

oh no! walk it off. you ain’t gonna die.

[compact jasper]

More knives, nice

[foggy stream]

they’re a small indie development team what do you expect? they still have one of the most advanced and in-depth zombie games made

[jaunty ether]

I need to stop reading these thursdoids so I can be hyped later instead

[foggy stream]

i get heated fast

[obtuse prawn]

and why are they still a small team? being one of the best selling games on steam, with dozens of investors

[empty anchor]

We do not take on investors

[foggy stream]

for sure not one of the best selling games it’s up there but definitely not the best selling

yeah and they don’t have investors idk what you’re taklking about

[obtuse prawn]

I've seen reliable information that they have investors... but ok. I'm just a fan of the game, and this delay gives me agony. It seems that they are holding back the news to make the game's useful life longer. Why not let go little by little? instead of dropping everything in a single build. For those who play a lot the vanilla game has little content

[empty anchor]

More reliable than...the people who would be taking on said investors?

[supple vale]

touche 😄

[empty anchor]

And what delay 😐

Why not let go little by little? instead of dropping everything in a single build.

Have you been around for Build 41

[foggy stream]

if they want the game to have a longer life they would not hold back news they are wanting to get b42 out as soon as possible to keep the game alive

[empty anchor]

Honestly dunno how you'd get the impression we'd be able to just drop a whole build and be done with it.
It's still substantial work, and it will be on the Unstable for a while before ever seeing a Stable release similarly to how we did it with Build 41 or any build before it.

[obtuse prawn]

I understand that leaving everything again to release together in a single build is amazing, the problem is the delay of this and leaving people without content in this process

[empty anchor]

For those who play a lot the vanilla game has little content
That is true for any game out there too

[supple vale]

@obtuse prawn have you ever developed any software project?

[wispy blade]

delays help make games more better.

[empty anchor]

There is no possible way where we'd be able to make it a constant feed of content before people get bored of it. That doesn't mean I don't understand where you're coming from but it's also not a reasonable expectation.

[foggy stream]

the only reason(s) it takes times to release a new build is because they’re a small team as i have said and they want the build as polished as possible and clean for the players of pz so they don’t die to a bug

[empty anchor]

And we've not delayed anything. It's just worked on and none of it is ready to be played. Not sure where the idea of a delay comes from.

[foggy stream]

mods exist they’re free lol there’s other 5000 pm the workshop

i dont play with mods so i see how the game can have little content but mods are always there

[obtuse prawn]

in no way am I badmouthing the game or the team, I'm just exposing my agony waiting for new content. And not approving the decision to release new content all together in one build, even if it takes years

[foggy stream]

it’s crazy how project zomboid is only 20 usd (14 usd now) for a game with over 5000 workshop items and already a massive content of stuff in the vanilla

im getting too intense sorry

[supple vale]

yeah, complainers will complain

[empty anchor]

Do my messages not get through lol

[obtuse prawn]

could really be more expensive

[foggy stream]

exactly but they don’t want to do that

i could see this game being what 40 usd? maybe?

honestly idk what im saying im just gonna stop this argument

[obtuse prawn]

my point is that it would be more interesting to launch what was already ready and possible. Than leaving the game without new content to launch only when EVERYTHING is ready. But it's just an opinion, anyway I love the game

[foggy stream]

to launch a buggy uncompleted mess?

[empty anchor]

And what I've been saying is that what we have planned for B42 literally is not ready yet

It is not playable at all yet

We will launch B42 as soon as its ready and then build upon it just like we did all this time

[foggy stream]

maybe we’ll get a unstable build once they got the base of b42 down we will see

like you can opt out of it

[rotund basalt]

Also the fact that you guys are releasing unstable and stable builds is good because we do away with bugs that are fixed. Of course people want "more content" but go get some mods and wait while b42 is being worked on lol

[empty anchor]

I am trying to explain that what you think we're doing is not what we're doing.
Investors, launching the whole build all at once, none of that is what's been happening lol

[obtuse prawn]

right, thanks! ❤️

is that for new players, it's perfect. I've been playing since the beginning practically, I'm going crazy waiting for this new build, I can't even play.

only that

[empty anchor]

That's perfectly understandable. I share that feeling for plenty of games but none of the games I've ever played have been able to hold me to them without ever dropping them for a while until new content dropped.

So I see where you're coming from, it's a pretty universal feeling that many people share for various games.

[hazy nest]

This is just making me more hyped for build 42 lol

It'll be SO much fun to go explore the random basements

[obtuse prawn]

that's the problem, since I started playing project zomboid, every other game has lost its fun

but anyway, thanks a lot for the answers

[fierce depot]

Finally a tire iron

Now highway spawns aren't so hellish

can a tire iron sub for a lug nut wrench tho.

[solar crescent]

probably

[lapis moth]

be patient... Again

[upper rampart]

What's the second to last one? And is the very last one a makeshift knife?!

[fierce depot]

the last one is probably a shiv

the second to last one is a folding knife

[wispy blade]

I think that 2nd last one is a butterfly knife

[rotund basalt]

we have a stiletto

[wispy blade]

noice

too bad stiletto shoes are not in PZ to kill zombies.

[fierce depot]

Inb4 ppl forget to craft "unsheathed switch blade" and complain why their knife is doing no damage

[little wharf]

When npcs are out and they give me butterflies at first sight 🔪

[rotund basalt]

If we get animation update + butterfly knife tricks I'm sold

[wispy blade]

switch blade animations would be nice as well

[little wharf]

chance to cut hand on a faliure

[rotund basalt]

tie it to your short blade/knife skill and the more you have, the less likely you get cut

[wispy blade]

just need some knife throwing to get added.

[fierce depot]

and butterfly knife rarity that we can trade on the steam market

[cinder perch]

The model for the butterfly knife reminds me of the HL2 balisong

Which is pretty cool

[fierce depot]

pz epic "rainbow sprinkles and pink donut skin" butterfly knive

[rotund basalt]

we just need the icecicle and the kunai and we can SPY

[serene basalt]

Metal bat, neat

[sonic wren]

Can't wait to some guy to make the butterfly knife tricks mod

[solar crescent]

MFW the blog post name is a runescape quest

[upper rampart]

Stiletto shoes? Like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nks56doHGU0

[alpine dragon]

Very excited to bend my metal bat

Speaking of metal bat, what will the metal bat be called?

[wispy blade]

Aluminum baseball bat

[fierce depot]

Steam inventory down weapon

[wispy blade]

Scouts baseball bat

The bonk weapon

[gaunt grail]

shaped metal rod

[crimson lotus]

Minecraft updates like once a year. And look how much people play that

[supple vale]

actually they've just announced they will add features incrementally via opt-in 1.20 datapack, so that the gamers won't have to wait for full updates for so long

[grave halo]

Someone ought to make a tf2 costume mod

Just for that baseball bat alone

[rotund basalt]

Any way to slip in an option to disable items from the loot table from both containers and zombies?

[obtuse prawn]

@empty anchor Will fire poker be blunt, or pierce?

[fierce depot]

spear

it better be

[wispy blade]

fire poker is probably a spear.

[obtuse prawn]

no way fire poker is a spear. they're not that long at all. source: grew up with a fireplace in my living room 🙂 most are like 20-30 inches long, or about as long as your arm

[somber ruin]

they fixed horny zeds eh

[umbral vault]

what

mine is way bigger than that

[obtuse prawn]

how long is yours? I've never seen a fire poker longer than my arm. it would be super inconvenient to use if it were as long as a spear (5-6 feet long)

the picture itself shows it's just the same length as a baseball bat

so like 3 feet

[foggy stream]

mine is like 4 feet maybe?

[umbral vault]

mine is 4 feet

[lapis cove]

I'm sure you will all be excited to find out the answers to all of your questions about any of the new weapons, at the point in the future when build 42 will be available to play.

[alpine dragon]

what is that weapon on the right side of the metal bat

[lapis cove]

A karambit.

||it's what I would call a Tire Iron, but is also known as a L-Shaped Lug Wrench https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lug_wrench||

I've said too much, that was the only question the lot of you get answered.

[wispy blade]

maybe call it a tire iron

X shaped version would be useless as a weapon unless executing zombies down on the ground.

[lapis cove]

it's what I would call a Tire Iron 😛

That was your ONE question.

[wispy blade]

excellent

[lapis cove]

If was going to let any other secrets slip I'd say that we'd know more about the specifics of any new weapons after several months of testing them?

[rotund basalt]

Please an option to disable certain loot from spawning on players and zombies

I mean zombies and containers

[wispy blade]

Cant wait to use that metal baseball bat

[minor torrent]

"we’re improving the procedural loot system to make loot and looting more interesting in of itself" what does this mean? I feel like that's the juiciest part since looting is a major part of the gameplay loop.

[solar crescent]

can still stab some one with it tho :D

[glossy harness]

Make it so that we can stab NPCs

And add a way to hide their corpse(s)

And a way to take down the witnesses while they run (a riffle would be perfect)

[somber ruin]

dam, shouda used it better

[muted reef]

We call this "balisong" in the Philippines

[supple vale]

can we expect that the streamlining of evolved recipe system will fix the annoying issue of food items available in containers not being grouped? f.e. I have 10x salt in cupboards, and they are all visible both in crafting dialog anc recipe context menu?

also a great QoL improvement for recipes that allow canned ingredients would be to automatically open them if there's required cans and can opener in the range

[foggy stream]

believe this is a thing already

[supple vale]

waaaat

nope, just checked. You need to manually open a can

[glossy harness]

The Spiffo's Server Apron if funny

[supple vale]

Can you please add 1920x1200 to default resolutions? It works fine when I edit the config file by hand, but would be nice to not have to 🙂

[serene basalt]

use this so they'll see it easier

[rotund basalt]

how I wish that hotfix had the magdump pvp stopgag 😩

[upper rampart]

Devs should probably take a minute to update that list.

There's some stuff in the yes that been added at this point

[serene basalt]

it's not an official list, just something one of the mods whipped up
