All my love to the sound team

#

those new fires look...

#

something about them makes it seem weird but so much better than what we have now

frozen roost
#

that new crafting system, sweet baby Jesus. it can get so complicated 😄 factorio all over again, amazing

fresh locust
#

Firstly 10/10 cow looks great. This is for obvious reasons important to me. Secondly, please fix the walkie talkie VOIP.

#

I like the new fires because they kinda look realistic and they smoke is good too

fresh locust
#

I've used a mod for fire fx for a long time and this looks similar to that but with the obvious improvements to the backend, def. good.

#

Would be nice if there were settings to allow combustion of zeds and nature and buildings separately so that we can avoid towns burning down on MP but allowing fire more generally, while we're working on the fire system.

Awesome blog post

#

we could find some ore maybe foraging or even mining could become more useful

grizzled island
#

Everything wow but the work's stations i really didn't like it, i hope this is just an example and they'll make more realistic and funny

quiet spade
#

I really hope that unusable metal could be useful for melting down into some usable metal ingots.

Cant wait for the 500th crafting mods that will come out when the new crafting system comes out

Everything's look great so far, pretty excited!

PZ turning into minecraft with this crafting system

I'm most excited about the bowyer profession / bows that were teased some time ago.

Nasko, can we expect a thursdoid that's (at least in some part) dedicated to bow stuff down the line? 😅

i like how the cow walks

#

While the crafting system looks like a great concept, it's probably also a good time to start looking into some sort of "Input" or "Pull" button, that pulls the needed items from your bag to fill the 'needed items' slots...

#

i prefer the toon fire, the game dont look realistic, its better if the fire looks same the rest of game

just need some bows in PZ to make hunting update more interesting.

I have question.
What with optimalization? How big spread of fire can we put untill we start burning our own machines?
There is still bug with fire when we leave burning tile things that was burrning are immune to destruction.

#

There is problem with desync to when we use molo

#

like a minilag/desync

#

We are one steps closer to running drug labs in PZ MP

#

If the item transfer are moved from client to server, is it will make more communication between client to server? stressed

empty cliff
#

no way... animal noises !

tawny mist
proud apex
# tawny mist yeah, but no more items dupes

I agree. Btw will it cause ping spikes? because we used to be develop a mod that communicates on a large scale between the client and server which results in a ping spike when the communication is made.

tawny mist
#

it shouldnt i think

idle bane
#

if it would they wouldnt add it, plus B42 comes with optimizaton don't it

proud apex
#

I hope so ❤️ many of our players are really looking forward to animals coming into the game.

i can't find the fire video

#

Wasn't the MP originally designed to be least taxing on the server side? Seems odd then to move more and more over to the server side

pallid crane
#

So if items will burn based on temperature, does this mean that fires can start in other ways than plainly using a fire item?

#

For example, lightning strikes, ovens, heat waves in conjunction with stray sparks, etc?

hard sinew
#

Hopefully this crafting system fits in with the rest of PZ gameplay after its implemented. I would suggest that it should take a lot of skill and materials for someone to build something like a blacksmith. Not like in other survival games where anyone can collect some sticks and stones and build workstations from the get go

tawny mist

#

biggest reason so many players that refuse to play refuse to play

tawny mist
#

makes sense

grizzled island
tawny mist
#

I think that would be a pain honestly I hope I can find them too

hard sinew
#

To clarify, it would be really cool to be able to craft something like an anvil, but no one would do that in a real apocalypse because it would be extremely difficult. I think the devs should keep that in mind to be in accordance with the semi-realistic theme of zomboid

#

I dont worry how all this might get implemented into the game. Looks like it will be plenty of fun regardless

grizzled island
#

Exactly think about twd comic where they was "finding" the pieces of their equipment to make the ammos and not create the molds from scratch to be honest a way like that will push also the players go to scavenging often that is my point of view.

#

Animals are shaping up to be really cool. I hope animals get frightened by zombies and run around making noise, and if cornered attack the zombies before succumbing to them. Will be pretty amazing walking around towns and finding this kind of story taking place, maybe even rescuing them. Can't wait.

maiden comet
#

does the animal update include Dogs? would love to have a pet dog

surreal niche
#

PLEASEEEEE can you add an option that allows server owners in MP to stop or delay decay in some items. Specially for farming. It is a little hard for not so active servers to implement farming as sometimes there is not always users online at the time the crops are ready.

yeah, i only play on MP though and that mod doesnt work w/ it 😭

civic jungle
#

not tryna be a hater but that fire just does not look right to me lol

#

might be because it's just ontop of concrete instead of a campfire or something

quiet spade
#

foraging and finding some ore to use for smelting if that could become a thing.

PLEASE make those animaux AI, especially those path finding part editable on lua PLZ

#

yeah, as i said last time the fire was showcased. it sorta looks like a animated gif of a clipart fire pasted onto a game at the moment. its a step up from the fire we have at the moment, but it could obviously use some work

coarse ermine
#

The fire is very in progress, take it as a reference for what it could be

crystal glade
coral ledge
#

To be honest, kinda like where the fire is going in the sort of photo realistic type of thing

sly grove
#

any chance inventory handling could be kept clientside as a setting? i play with lots of friends that are super distant to me with like 300 ping minimum and pz is one of our main games with how much stuff is clientside and thus not laggy

atomic kayak
#

can't wait to burn some houses down

#

that sucks honestly, but i understand you have to tailor dev towards the biggest group of users and that's gonna be public server ppl with decent latency i guess

#

it's gonna be aids doing any kind of inventory action at higher latencies when this update drops, even equipping weapons onto your hands will be subject to that delay if the server has to verify every single action

fervent bolt
#

Maybe just player <-> world interactions.
Imagine 0.3s lags every time you take a bullets from your bag to reload your 2-shot 🙂

Please don't forget us poor lowly gamepad players when adding new features in 42! ❤️

Ye remember anout them. Give them to play number pad to

tawny mist
#

im gonna be honest, the fire looks very bad. I prefer the one we have now, matches with the game style. Love the other things you guys are introducing tho

tawny mist
#

my friend kkkk you can only be crazy to prefer the fire we have now

tawny mist
#

matches with the game unlike the new fire, the new system is good but it looks so bad

wintry pasture
#

im a bit concerned blacksmith bench is looking awfully similar to minecraft

#

also "smelt ores"

#

fishing update looks fantastic
makes fishing skill based instead of just fast forwarding till you run out of bait

#

fire update is extremely well done
altho im not used to the realistic animation but im not concerned about that

#

one thing about crafting table i want to add is to make special animations for when player is interacting with the table
either sawing logs
or just looking at recipes

idle bane
#

that could be nice, and would add lots of immersion

#

the crafting animations i mean

grizzled island
#

About the crafting tables i hope they add animations too and also a good way to build them

idle bane
#

yeah

#

i would enjoy starting in the middle of nowhere with some starting tools, and then slowly craft my way up

#

which i hope it will allow us to do that

#

if it won't modding will prob expand on it so much

#

mods like the workshop can use actual work stations for the scrap weapons and i see that as such a game changer for both vanilla and modded

grizzled island
#

To be honest i hope the stations system will not be like the others survival games ,like with 2 sticks, 3 rope and 2 ore ingots i will build a smithing's station, i would like more realistic like to build a smithing's station i will need to find the tools, an anvil, a table and bricks for build the furnace, will push me to go out and scavenge, to obtain metal or metal parts like melt the scraps and will take time to create an hammer, like 1 hour in game not 1 second i hope they will keep the realism of the game and also yes animations and visual effects like the log in the furnace and the fire from the furnace

wintry pasture
#

overall the devs are doing fantastic work as always and i hope they keep up the pace.

hoary lily
#

am i the only one that thinks the fire looks out of place?

#

strangely special FX and overdetailed compaired to everything else

tawny mist
#

they still have a lot of time

tawny mist
#

It makes no sense what you are complaining about. The current PZ fire is sad, horrible. Then they decide to improve and you say "no, now it's too good, make it uglier"

shell totem
#

that's not what they're saying

tawny mist
#

maybe they could pixelate the fire they r working on

#

would look better, but the new mechanics r awesome

tawny mist
tawny mist
#

yes I understand, in this case it is very ''realistic''. I like it... any fire but the current fire

wintry pasture
#

i think people will get used to it

# sly grove any chance inventory handling could be kept clientside as a setting? i play with...

I can only second this as a possibly unrealistic wish, I also play with a lot of friends from all around the world and i'm much less worried about them cheating and adding items than about the game being just really unresponsive and sluggish. Inventory interactions are such a core part of the game, swapping, equipping weapons, to even just reloading your gun from the backpack or having a teammate drop ammo for you to pickup in a pinch.
Really worried that in further attempts to curtail cheating or exploits, the game just gets less and less responsive for everyone else. Hopefully they manage to do it in a way that doesn't make it so.

hoary lily
#

Just looks out of place with they style of everything else

grizzled island
#

I know that is out of the topic but we have any clue if the devs are planning to add horses?

tawny mist
#

horse is the most impactful animal in the game, it would be insane, I hope that one day it will be reality

Probably would be easier and cooler to add bicycles and alike.

#

That's plenty good enough for a mod, but there's no way TIS would release an official patch doing that

#

So we'll need to wait until they do an engine rework until we get 2 wheeled stuffs

The answer to "why don't you have X yet?" is always the same. There's an infinite number of other things to implement instead.

#

I don't know, the bikes work so well in Autotsar Motorclub that it makes me think from a non-team point of view that it would just be adding them to the base game

gentle badger
#

would this change the game/be more important than animals for example

#

atm its best for the development team to lay this foundwork and do the most important features (animals, crafting system, etc) and leave the off details like motorbikes at the side for modders to make and such

gentle badger
#

still waiting for the covid dlc event to end 🙂

# gentle badger its the priority as well

the question I said is, if there are already motorcycles ready and working perfectly. Why not add it to the base game? I believe that no mod creator would have a problem seeing their mod implemented in the game.

#

''ah but it's going to be a lot of work and it's not a priority'' ??? is ready

#

I say this because I'm facing many problems with compatibility between mods, I can't play with more than 5 or 10 mods together

gentle badger
#
  1. Mods can be developed in a different code to what the actual engine runs on, e.g I'm currently modding for a game that runs on unity (so C#) but I need to write the mod in lua
#
  1. What if there is hidden code that could steal players data or such, I'm sure Indie Stone I'd especially paranoid after being burgled that one time. Never trust foreign code!
gentle badger
tawny mist
#

but i understand your points

gentle badger
#

@shell totem what Coding language does modders use and what does the indie stone team use

#

I've piqued my own intrest

#

*programming language

buoyant robin
#

Lua

empty cliff
#

it is Lua

gentle badger
#

nice

#

is the game actually programmed in lua tho?

coarse ermine
#

Lua and java

gentle badger
# coarse ermine Lua and java

yo both programs that i am familiar with, just done a uni module on java and ive made plenty of mods in lua (for another game tho)

#

indie stone may as well hire me rn
