nice game, after a couple of hours it feels alone - can't wait to add NPCs and a Full Experience Mod.

In the full experience, there are NPCs and no zombies at first. Lots of density, appartment buildings, 100 stories high. You start with money and you have to go grocery shopping. You go to work by right clicking on your car. After a few days, you hear news about infections and more and more news accelerate. The military starts implementing curfews and if they catch you outside they send you to jail. If you're sick you go to the hospital.

The Military orders evacuation and you have the choice to hide or to go to the evacuation site with all the population. If discovered by Military after the evacuation orders they will shoot at you. At the evacuation site there are many people and its hard to eat,sleep,drink and have to survive refugee style, eventually 98% of the center gets zombified as the nox virus spreads and evacuation centers become zombiee hoard areas, slowling oozing back to the cities and etc.

Zombies have cycles when first infected for the next month are super strong and fast, as time passes they become slower and weaker until the lowest value.

NPC groups and survivors start living and creating simple to more complex safe zones trying to survive.

A secret branch of the government in hazmat suits mysteriously roaming the map to catch a few zombies and even survivors to do experiments on them in a secret location in order to work for the vaccine, if you get caught you are transfered to somewhere secret where zombies and humans are kept in cages and you are infected with the virus, thus dying.
However, after a certain time, the scientists discover a vaccine and start broadcasting it over the radio and giving it to the survivors at different centers, thus ending the campaign (but u can still continue to play)

LOL

[wind ocean]

Sounds like a very different game from how the game is and is planned to be, but maybe someone will make it a mod one day

[naive crag]

thats not zomboid

thats some generic story game with a hour of content

[wind ocean]

At least i tried to be nice

[naive crag]

j am being nice

its criticism

[sage moth]

See I hope a better start gets implemented, to show the early days better, but like

Zomboid is the kind of game that needs to start in media res, without introducing literally Just The Sims at the start

[sour plinth]

The Sims start would be a great tutorial i think

[torpid isle]

Looking forward to readable newspapers/fliers/etc. so mods can make readable books that work similarly

I'll do it myself if no one beats me to it, but I imagine plenty of others have the same idea (I'm thinking of how Skyrim does it, for example)

[fallow ocean]

Pat certainly did some "additional writing" in here today huh

[copper star]

@outer gust how do I become an additional writer

I am American I know about it all 😎

[torpid isle]

From what I've heard, the only way is to challenge Pat to a duel. If you win, you become him

[copper star]

Ooo

[torpid isle]

Oh, but if you lose you're consumed ||(NOT in a vore way)|| and he becomes stronger

[copper star]

NO

[outer gust]

Yeah, I suppose that's true, I was thinking of mostly like jewels and crowns and stuff

[outer gust]

Oh God, a fate worse than death

[torpid isle]

Your reverse psychology tactic will not dissuade me from training to challenge you 😤

[wide jay]

can we have bucket hats

[outer gust]

Aren't they already in the game? Unless you mean an actual bucket

[wide jay]

yes, sorry actual bucket hat !

[outer gust]

No, but you can wear one in real life

[wide jay]

thanks pat lol

[rough laurel]

Oh cool! So you do the annotative map stories?

[copper star]

That is so sad if that’s w/o mods, imagining getting there and there’s food, weapons, etc, but everyone died 😭

[brisk flower]

So are we going to skip past Pat confirming they want to add multiple birds or

[torpid isle]

We're hoping if we let it fly under the radar he'll keep leaking stuff 🤫

[brisk flower]

Right right good idea

[brisk flower]

Are they not base game? I have them but installed 500 clothing mods as base game clothes are a bit drab

[brisk flower]

I bet Pat hasn't had much work to do for build 42 as there's no opportunity for lore 😉

And I doubt he could prove us wrong 🤔

[rough laurel]

Speaking of the writing, I'm super hyped for all the generated stories we'll be able to encounter and influence once NPCs are added! (pulled from the 'zuckerverse' thursdoid post)

[candid terrace]

Hopefully that doesnt flush b42s performance gains back down too far

[brisk flower]

I'm curious when you say you can't add people's mods do you mean you can't use their code or as an example braven added bicycles so you won't add them at all

[fallow ocean]

Cant add their code or art, doesn't mean TIS can't add a similar idea/mechanic. Or we would not have cars in the game, among other things.

[brisk flower]

Oh phew that's a relief thanks!

[brisk flower]

I'm surprised this isn't actually in the game as you can already climb over things when you want to get in through a window or out

So it should be doable or somewhat easy to add? The ladder mod is absolutely brilliant. Imagine the potential options added with verticality. Fire escapes, as you say bins you can boost on. Although given zombies can climb through windows they might be able to do some basic climbing in future if set to smart zombies

But yeah definitely more climbing options. Whatever lets me reach that darn burger before it goes stale

[candid terrace]

Yeah the existing animations and the new depth data should make it relatively easy to add i hope. The tricky part is polishing zed behaviour for when a player is just out of reach. Maybe they have a small chance to manage to scramble onto anything at waist height, but nothing higher. They should be able to grab you by the foot too if you get too close to the edges where they are reaching up, and you gotta like shake em off before they pull you down.

[candid terrace]

Being able to climb onto cars/vans/dumpsters does present the possibility of being surrounded and trapped. Adding a running jump would solve this pretty easy though, and open up loads more possibilities at the same time.

[sage moth]

Or maybe, just maybe, the tutorial could be the tutorial

[sage moth]

In be4 mod that just adds the Lusty Argonian Maid

[outer gust]

Yep, the newer ones

[outer gust]

hehehe

[sour plinth]

i love morrowind

[outer gust]

Yeah, it would only be an issue if someone invented the concept of cars, as a Zomboid mod, which would be very impressive imo

The thing re. climbing is the zombie exploits that would result (you're just out of reach and they can't reach you), making sure the player can't get stuck somewhere, and problems with reading height from an isometric view ie. it's very hard to gauge how far you are off the ground. Ladders are planned sometime though, but they have issues of their own (what if you want to enter a window halfway up a ladder?)

Jumping is also difficult. How do you know where you're going to land?

[torpid isle]

Not knowing is half the battle

[rancid pewter]

Slightly unrelated, but I did come to wonder - I havn't read anything about this, I don't think, but is there any plans/has it been talked about, if "what counts as inside/outside" is being looked into?

For example, the warehouse North in Muldraugh, if you use a sledge hammer to break the railing, on the 2nd floor, and build wooden flooring out into the empty area there, you suddenly count as being "outside"

this area, to visualize

[rancid cloak]

Your own ToS and common legal terms say the opposite

You could absolutely just absord code and art from any mod for your game

Replied to the wrong thing, meant to reply to "we can't take code or art"

[worn magnet]

what is this?

[rancid cloak]

A different icon as a joke, pretty obvious

[worn magnet]

someone ruined project zomboid server

[rancid cloak]

ALSO A LIE

Do you even work there

Suspicious

[rich hill]

Spiffo's evil cousin, sporfo

[worn magnet]

xd

[fallow ocean]

Doesn't mean it is a nice thing to do, or it wouldn't create a shit storm if the modder didn't like it being added. So better stick to common sense

[rancid cloak]

Yeah just saying, since the original quote was

We don't/can't "implement" mods in the game, with the sole exception of if the modders became devs, and even then any mod would need expansion and polishing and such

I couldn't let someone be wrong on the internet obviously.

You can, but...

[rich hill]

An action being legally valid does not mean that it is morally valid.

[rancid cloak]

Morality was never the question

The question was simply if we will be seeing mods implemented into the base game and saying they can't is simply fakshully incorrect 🤓

[rich hill]

"Can't" can mean "Doing the change in this way will cause more of a goodwill hit than implementing it ever will"

[rancid cloak]

This is already more of an argument than I ever intended there's not really anything more to be said.
If that was what was meant it would have been said since it would have been a pretty important distinction.

[torpid isle]

I think the confusion with the message was more of semantic issue with the word “implement”

The modding policy clearly indicates that they have the right to implement mod ideas in the game, as you've pointed out, but 5.1 and 5.2 pretty clearly state that if something were to be directly incorporated from a mod there would be communication with the modder (3.2 also indicates they have the right to use it however they want, but those sections are pretty clear about how they handle situations like that)

So, while can't might legally be inaccurate, the don't was accurate assuming “implement” was taken to mean directly implement (which the rest of the message implies imo)

[dusk kite]

thats my icon :]

[outer gust]

Not actively but will have to be fixed before NPCs

[compact pike]

Is optimization of zombies planned as well? Like a vanilla scenario of Louisville, infinite zombies, without a slight drop, is it aimed?

Or entities in general

I'm hyping for optimization in hopes of being able to run better with mods

[rancid pewter]

Great, appreciate the response Pat!

[outer gust]

Also for farming purposes

[compact pike]

I wish there was a collection of Thursdoids or an Ultimate Roadmap listing everything done and will be done so far, it'd take ages to check out for something, I don't want to annoy anyone for obvious questions

[rancid pewter]

Yeah makes sense. I think also for general "temperature" stuff? Like, building a house shelters you, but I don't think it counts as being inside, does it? I might be wrong

[naive crag]

willl we be getting the firetruck we got teased about like 3 years ago 🥰

[calm flame]

Pat's hopefully finally going to shut up about content not in the blog and stop answering questions about things we'd obviously mention in a blog

[rich hill]

If you're talking about Entity-Component-Systems or ECS, a lot of data-oriented design principles underlying that are, as far as I'm aware, extremely hard to implement in Java. The language doesn't have custom structs, which is a major limiting factor in being able to (cleanly) define Struct-Of-Arrays versus Array-Of-Structs and leveraging that accordingly.

There is apparently a roadmap or project in the works to make that kind of thing easier. I don't think that's landing as a language feature for Java anytime soon for it to be useful for TIS.

[compact pike]

I don't know if entity also covers items and props but I actually meant zombies in general. By entities, I meant “living” things like players and zombies

[candid terrace]

See my hope was that the depth inference could solve most of those issues. But if not, then it is what it is and may not be worth the work. That said, you write lore so forgive me if i dont take your word for it straight away tehe. Not too hard to tell how far off the ground you are when you are standing on a dumpster that is also on the ground 😅
Re. the ladder "issue" its not like sheet ropes have the functionality of being able to enter windows halfway and I dont think anyone expects or needs that off the bat. They are primarily stairs that zeds cant use. Funnily enough by using ladders you're also "just out of reach and zeds cant get you" so that argument against climbing has no real basis (Thats actually where the potential of being trapped works by the by) plus if you actually read you'll see i address ways zeds can reach you and a way of escaping. Use your imagination positively Pat and youll find more solutions and less problems

[torpid isle]

Literally 1993

[paper plover]

i more want the humvee of 3 years ago to

[serene dagger]

I know that sanity is a thing that's coming into the game at some point, and NPCs are meant to play a big role in that. Is there any public statements about whether it will/not be in specific builds?

[candid terrace]

Hopefully its purely an NPC thing.. i dont need another simulated psychological thing to manage. Panic is bad enough

[torpid isle]

I'm sure whatever sandbox options don't cover, mods will quickly step in to handle bc others will also not be a fan

Like the boredom fix/overhaul mod

I should've asked about the computer before pat was put into the silence chamber 😔

[candid terrace]

The problem is, just outright removing panic breaks combat and makes it possible to melee an entire horde. Im pretty sure thats the only reason it exists. Ive suggested replacing Panic with Adrenaline system so that instead of being debilitated during a close encounter, you're debilitated afterwards, for your next encounters. Fear and Panic are physiologically designed to make a person react better in a pinch, not worse. Ill defs give sanity a go though if it is for players too

[outer gust]

No

[outer gust]

Never

[candid terrace]

🤣

[outer gust]

Thanks, I'll remember that when I'm coding ladders

[candid terrace]

Maybe ive misread something at some point lmao. Apologies if so 🤣

[fiery lake]

You are doing a spectacular job.

[outer gust]

Anyway Nasko's right, I shouldn't be here, I'm going back to my cell, goodnight

[calm flame]

Throwing away the keys this time fr

[torpid isle]

I missed my window 😩

[naive crag]

or what

let pat keep talking.

[wide jay]

[brisk flower]

Excuse me I'm a crash bandicoot master

[brisk flower]

Build 43 npcs or build 48 npcs

Pat is our new Thursdoid

Thursdoid on tap

Or pat backwards

[quartz hull]

in thursdoid we trust

[candid terrace]

Fr do not underestimate our platformer abilities

[compact pike]

I'm sure the developers sent him on purpose to talk to the players, because 1 post a month isn't enough to keep us interested

Anyway at least some info is much better than no info at all, right?

[candid terrace]

Considering how good the game already is despite being so unfinished, and considering how much there is to look forward to.. i dunno, im pretty sweet

[light gazelle]

i have a question regarding building and i hope a dev could respond

How about building floors above your character, so they can work as roofs
as of now, if I want to build a house from scratch, I have to wait till lvl6 carpentry to build stars, unless I like being rained on, snowed on, and geting no warmth
is this something being worked on/planned/or a limitation of some kind?

[candid terrace]

Its not the dev response you want but, based on screenshots in this latest thursdoid, it looks like they're adding an even simpler set of stairs which im guessing will be craftable very early. Supposed to be getting ladders too, which you would think would be even easier to make. Hopefully a dev still responds lol

[fallow ocean]

If any of us had the power to send Pat do something on purpose, I'd send him to the south pole and ask him to count penguins

[fallow ocean]

I believe that is something the team would like to address at some point

[rich hill]

Being able to build roofing directly overhead would help a lot with my woes of setting up secondary flooring.

In Build 41, you not only have to build out the roof on the upper floor, you need to be building from the right cardinal direction. You can build from south to north, but not north to south iirc.

[torpid isle]

The prophecy has been fulfilled: Soul has bested Pat in combat and has become Pat

[candid terrace]

Would be good but.. you should at least need to start with some kind of support columns or smth. For realisms sake

[fallow ocean]

You have no idea what you're talking about. Nobody becomes Pat, Pat propagates Pats like awet gremlin.

[torpid isle]

Even more terrifying 😨

[fallow ocean]

Yes, that would be great, but there are limitations and complications that need to be considered and solved so the solution is a real solution, and not a bag of issues to deal with later

[rich hill]

For sure. Thank you for tackling it

[outer tendon]

I think could be cool have more zombies variants on future, for example someone without an arm, or crawler without both legs, and some different animation on moving.

This could make the game more scary, that is always welcomed.

[torpid isle]

This is the first take on variants I've read that seems like it'd actually fit in the game (nothing against mods for it, just that there's suggestions like GODZILLA ZOMBIE that I couldn't see being in the base game)

[outer tendon]

I was thinking about "the land of the living dead", and I think this things are relatively common on zombies.

All things that let you think; " damn that damned thing shouldn't move or walk because is dead make it more scary".

But if dev thinks it won't fit than ok.

[candid terrace]

Naaah its been brought up before. Tops idea though yea

[sage moth]

Yeah "don't/can't" is more about respect to modders.
You don't want to be the corpo just jacking modders shit for basically no compensation over and over again or mod makers stop investing their effort into the game, re starfield, "most innovative game of the year" my ass.
But, farm animals are an obvious upgrade to the game. If I was held at gunpoint and told to name a feature that got added some time in the next thirty years, farm animals would be the easiest pick. It's a safe bet that farm animals were always planned somewhere in the games life span to show up.
But if the "we can jack your shit" clause wasn't in the TOS and a hypothetical mod maker who already implemented them in a mod got froggy, they could sue under the accusation that TIS stole their idea, no matter how flimsy the connection, no matter how obvious it was that farm animals were going to be on the chopping block eventually, and while TIS could probably win the case easily, lawyers cost money

So the "we can absorb your mods like Kirby in a buffet" is more like "you don't have the grounds to sue if the most logical conclusion is obvious and you get there first because you aren't slowed down by the yoke of quality control"

All of course under the assertion that I am both not a lawyer and specifically not the indie stones lawyer, and there might be a multitude of other rational reasons for it that I neither know nor care about

[rough laurel]

When will we get morbidly obese and emaciated models for characters?

[brisk flower]

I'd quite like to see some more teasers for the new music in a Thursdoid, the game currently lacks that heart pacing soundtrack that I'd listen to on repeat, it kind of becomes background noise at least for me

[urban yoke]

this except less weird sounding . perhaps different sliders for parts of the body or like that one mod where your ingame weight affects your appearance . idk i want to look bigger ingame like how i am irl yknowww ww also something something awooga big women

[brisk flower]

Maybe on the back of the music thing some relaxed music for when you have down time would be great. For those peaceful moments. Like ard skellige village theme

And if you really want to push the boat a survivor radio would be great when npcs come. Maybe radio like cities skylines did so you don't have to worry about licensing

[timber dust]

The Authentic Z mod has zeds missing arms along with a lot of clothing options if you'd like that experience in your current game

[nova glacier]

42 build coming?

[compact pike]

No

[outer tendon]

Thanks 👍

[outer gust]

Not true, I merely went where I'm not wanted

[sand sleet]

At this point I'm just waiting for Build 42 like a starved caged animal. I am patient because I have no other choice.

[worn magnet]

I really doubt we'll be seeing build 42 any time soon in the upcoming years. especially since they've made no progress for two years...

[sand sleet]

Your cheery optimism aside, I am still within the cage. Waiting.

[odd saffron]

Bro, its been 3 years since B41 update
I wonder if they release B42 these days, on Christmas

[serene dagger]

When the new build comes out I plan to try out the updated illiterate flaw

[odd saffron]

We need build 42, we've been waiting 3 years, since 2021, please

[torpid isle]

Exhibit A: 2022 and Beyond blog post (https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2022/01/2022-and-beyond/). “No build will ever take as long as Build 41 did.” Assuming we take that to mean from the final 40 patch* to the final 41 patch*, that means less than ~4 years. The final 41 patch* was at the end of 2022, meaning at the latest it'd be before the end of 2026. This is an overestimate, however, because of...

Exhibit B (the loose ETA from the devs that famously don't do ETAs): this reddit comment (https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/18nlvxc/comment/kecgwst/). “first half of 2024 for sure.”

Patience is a virtue & somehow idt begging/pessimism will make it go any faster

[torpid isle]

Above was directed at @worn magnet, originally, but I took so long to type it that it now applies to this message too. We will get our fix in due time

[sand sleet]

Oh, word? What's the update?

[odd saffron]

[torpid isle]

Final 41 patch was in 2022

I realize I said build in the above message; typo

[sand sleet]

I only really use illiterate in my "naked hammer guy" runs and am interested in seeing if Harry Hammer has to alter his spree in any way.

[serene dagger]

It will prevent your character from reading text in the world, such as annotated maps and nutritional info printed on food

[sand sleet]

Yessssss

(A reference to the final patch being in 2022, in case you're trying to find something else to skull emoji: https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/61699-4178-released/)

[serene dagger]

They're also updating reading things to have a light logic check

[sand sleet]

How so, if you'll forgive my ignorance?

[serene dagger]

They didn't exactly get explicit but basically if it's too dark you can't read a book

[torpid isle]

Details on illiterate update in https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2023/04/bren-after-reading

Gods I'm so excited for 42. Rereadable books is nice.

The cage rattles yet more.

[wind widget]

Plus still not realistic at all build a roof on top ur head without any pillar or stair

[serene dagger]

Realistic structural stability coming in B52

[sour plinth]

i'm an animal for v42

[quartz hull]

people who building floating bases in the sky

[wind widget]

There ahould be a system like valheim!

[teal spear]

dont compare zomboid to ass valheim

[wind widget]

Nope but the law of building in valheim are pretty good and "kinda" realistic

[teal spear]

to make the same building style,the game must be first person,or it will be awfull to build

[wind widget]

I'm not meaning the same but at least not make me built corridors between buildings without pillars like they was said before "floating" bases so that mean if u don't have a wall or A pillar no floating buoldings just thatand about waiting the level 6 to be able to build a roof is true they should add ladders so i can create a small scaffolding and built the roof in a kind of realistic way

[teal spear]

well thanks to these kinds of suggestions,the update takes years 🙂

[wind widget]

Personally i prefer wait to have a good product unique in is genre than have another copy paste game but that me

[candid terrace]

Makes me wonder what the devs do for money during that time. Surely the game's sales cant sustain them that long

[torpid isle]

They actually get one dollar per discord message

Keep chatting if you want to support the devs 😇

[outer gust]

Okay

[outer gust]

We get a dollar every time someone makes some ill-informed take about financing, game production, management styles, programming, planning etc. etc. etc.

Hey man no need for the cheek lol happy to be wrong about that. Just seems wild from an outside perspective

[outer tendon]

I saw that mod that add mountain tiles, I like the mod and the concept around it.

Do you know if Devs are considering to add something similar in future, something that emulate elevation like on house but for hills ecc?

Could be very nice for wilderness procedural gen

I'm referring to this
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2898065560

[outer gust]

It is pretty wild but it is true

[brisk flower]

I mean one thing we know is Pat definitely doesn't know when build 42 will be released, he'd tell us if he knew which means he doesn't know. Might be the only dev that doesn't know

Nasko definitely knows but wouldn't tell us

[serene dagger]

Hmm... I'm now wondering how many features/changes mentioned for B42 are complete. Obviously the big stuff is far from complete, but there's a bunch of little things that have been talked about that could definitely be complete if the devs worked on them to completion since being shown: hoses to siphon gas, the illiterate update, voice acting with the current lines...

[woven rock]

Farming overhaul
Fishing overhaul
More clothing
Survival tools additions
Crafting overhaul to sustain entire communities, blacksmithing, woodworking, claymolding etc.
Some QOL stuff
Cleaning additions like cleaning grime off of walls and removing small boulders

Thats about all I remember

And knowing the devs, they take all these idea and add like 20 million extra things to each thing they implement

Oh and the animals as well, they also serve as the starting point for the upcoming human npcs for B43

[woven rock]

If youre really curious you can look up the concurrent player base to kinda get an idea

[candid terrace]

Concurrent players dont make the game money directly. Only new ones. There are new players buying it all the time. Im just amazed it's enough

[woven rock]

Never said it was a for sure accurate estimate, but a good player base indicates a prosperous game

more players means more people recommending the game for example

[candid terrace]

Yeah it definitely has an influence you're right

[woven rock]

that and TIS are not a very big company, they've been growing this year but still pretty small from their number of devs

pretty sure there are 16 people I think, thats a tiny company

so that can also contribute to the next update taking a while, while also as I mentioned they also cram a ton of things in their updates

[spring smelt]

lightning overhaul
basements and higher buildings
map additions
optimization

there is a TON of stuff to this update

b41 was nice and overhauled the game

[candid terrace]

Dont forget depth inference

[spring smelt]

but b42 will basically be a new one with the amount of new stuff

[spring smelt]

oooh yeah

[woven rock]

thanks I new I forgot some things

[spring smelt]

there's probably even more stuff tbh

[sage moth]

I keep hearing about depth inference but I don't remember seeing it in a thursdoid, was it in one of the ones I missed or what?

[candid terrace]

They've talked about it in a couple of them i think. Should correct a whole lot of visual bugs

[candid terrace]

This might have been the first mention of it

#blogs_n_teases message

[sage moth]

Oh depth buffer?

The thing that lets it fake 3d better?

[frosty coral]

why wait for b42 when you can wait for full release?

[candid terrace]

Precisely

[odd saffron]

I guess full release will be when the game get B43

If you've been waiting 3 years, you started waiting the absolute second b41 came out and we didn't even talk about b42 yet. That's just... not reasonable

[pliant sigil]

are we getting a release date

[candid terrace]

Nah when its ready they're just gonna stealth drop it and tell noone

Pat will literally have to be restrained

For at least 48 hours

[brisk flower]

I've been waiting for build 42 since build 8 came out

I'm most excited for build 48 when you're adding Polish people to the game

[torpid isle]

At this point, if there's not some kind of 🇵🇱 reference in the Polish update it'll be disappointing. Criminal, even

I'm sure the devs won't forget because the joke absolutely will last

[sand sleet]

Shouldn't be too hard to make PZ into an FPS

https://tenor.com/view/im-doing-my-part-serious-stare-gif-11979677

My only real worry with the update is that zombies and the tops/bottoms of staircases are a nightmare, especially to survivors clad in naught but leopard print skivvies, boots, and the world's biggest afro.

Is there anything I missed for addressing this (especially for taller buildings), or is this just a limitation of the game?

[sand sleet]

Forgive my ignorance, the Polish update?

Wait, scratch that, I may actually be brain-dead.

[brisk flower]

Just add one Polish npc that speaks no English and can't be interacted with

[torpid isle]

If the game's language is set to Polish, then what

[brisk flower]

Maybe rare line that references it making no sense why there's one Polish guy in rural Kentucky in 1993

[brisk flower]

Then all he talks about is polishing wood

[torpid isle]

Ooh, I like the idea of it sneaking its way into some literature if not an NPC

Just a mention of a Polish dude who happened to be in town for the Knox event

[brisk flower]

Like he's super enthusiastic about polishing stuff

[torpid isle]

The Polish Polish-fiend

[brisk flower]

In game meta, he breaks in your house at night and polishes everything leaving only one Polish flag as his calling card

Even the zombies are shiny

[outer tendon]

About this..

This should mean Devs are also deep implementing some NPC stuff about build 43?

Because thise rise my hype about NPC showing content after b42 release, may be we will not to wait long after the 42.
I'm just curious 🙂.

[sand sleet]

😂

Either way, appreciated.

[sour plinth]

sometimes i feel like coming here to ask for v42 but then i go vape outside instead

[sage moth]

FPS battle royale with 3 different battle passes, a separate extraction shooter mode, 18 extra genre tags that only barely apply, etc

Something something agile organization method

[sour plinth]

how about making the PvE version free and the NPC version 20$ LOL

[serene dagger]

BTW, I still love how they specified hemp (industrial) when talking about new crops

[sage moth]

Is there a non industrial hemp?

[sour plinth]

yeah cos they have to make the game legal to sell in many countries

[sage moth]

I know it's adjacent to marijuana but they're not the same exact species.

[sour plinth]

i wish there were a mod where you can have a zombie relantionship

[sage moth]

Ok I know you didn't go straight from "oh adding pot would make it illegal in some countries" to "sex update now"

[sour plinth]

woah i never said that lol

[sage moth]

Then do tell what the intent was if it wasn't that

[sour plinth]

like feeding the zombie, changing its clothes, bathing it...

[sage moth]

Ok nevermind stop saying the intent you made it worse

[umbral plaza]

Why tho?

[worn magnet]

are the devs gonna add a thing where you can see your temmates/clanmates in your map/minimap?

cause that would be awesome

[umbral plaza]

Isn't that a mod already?

[worn magnet]

yeah, but devs can do that also

we wouldn't need to wait a week for modders to make it

altough it may take less time for them. this game has an awesome modding community

[serene dagger]

The minimap is already kind of a compromise on their ideal. Making it a radar is not particularly realistic, so I doubt it.

[worn magnet]

ahh true... mabie a GPS device?

altough it's for coordinates...

[sand sleet]

😆

[serene dagger]

I for one think the secret to keeping this game alive is to ruin its name with cheap, poorly made spinoffs

[nova glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/micah-bell-смерть-мики-белла-gif-13672299034672676559

[elder void]

They've referenced the work being done on npcs in a few thursdoids now, very little concrete but exciting none the less

[serene dagger]

They don't want to get too ahead of themselves

[compact pike]

Ew

Sometimes it seems to me that there is a part of the community that is openly necrophiliac

[outer tendon]

May be I miss something.

I remember the thursdoid when they talked about NPC future, like have relationship, developing role on late game (medieval profession), old job, interacting with world, scavenging ecc

A lot of super exciting info, but it was a lot of time a go, when they announced the road map about build, 42,43,44,45 ecc

[outer tendon]

may be someone want emulate island of the living dead, where some people thing that zombies will be cured one day 😂😂😂

Role playing or something like that

[elder void]

some people will screw anything that moves

[compact pike]

I just hope TIS is not going to add kids nps to the game

[elder void]

youngest will be ~17 iirc

[outer tendon]

I thinks they already said this won't happen, personally I don't see that as a problem because see zombies kids would add another level of terror to the game.

But it shouldn't happen, I think they want avoid several issues that that addition could add

[brisk flower]

Zombabe loves you

[serene dagger]

You know, it'll be interesting trying to "speedrun" filling out the tech tree on a new save, as you scavenge what you can and have to choose what to build and what it'll be faster to scavenge in the wild

[gentle helm]

i think that why u can use the radios!

[worn magnet]

To see your location?

Like coordinates?

Didn't know that

[gentle helm]

no sorry i'm explained myself bad

the use of walkie talkie is also about to use some coordinates like in real life using some points of interests

with some friends we tried to mapping the area so with talkies and the poi we was alwys know where we was i thinks this is also a bit the phylosophy of zomboid the game is one of the most realistic about survival so i thinks devs gave us all the ways to keep each other in contac but is just not in the classic way of the games of today

one thing to help at my advise will be add also a map of the area in general but this will be already make the game even easier and plus mapping the area is also funny

at least for me

[serene dagger]

Yeah this game keeps a pretty good realism balance. The biggest flaw with trying to add realism is the risk of cumbersome UI. But this game does it well.

[candid terrace]

Now dont get me wrong, PZ is fucking great. I love how hardcore and nitty gritty it gets. But that HumanitZ is (imo) eventually going to hit a really nice middle ground between being gamey and realistic simulation. That said, i will always prefer PZ myself no matter how deep the menus and mechanics go.

[compact pike]

For maximum realism, I would turn off the map that the player has and navigate through paper maps found in the world

I would like to explore the map expansion in build 42 this way

[brisk flower]

I'd like them to remove all the zombies for added realism

[tiny dragon]

I'd like them to add different muscle injuries for added realism

[sage moth]

If you cause your hp to go under like 25% while doing heavy lifting it causes a hernia or some shit

[candid terrace]

Id like them to engineer a zombie virus and invent time travel so they can go back to 1993 and release it in Kentucky... for added realism

[frosty coral]

For maximum realism... isekai plot

[sand sleet]

💯

If they don't care about realism enough to release a necrophage virus onto the world, then I will definitely not buy any more Project Zomboid lootboxes and emotes.

[wind widget]

Actually u are right few mechanics of humanitz are pretty good and will give more immersion in pz

[outer tendon]

I think PZ NPC will make the difference when out, what IS are try to achieve with them will bring the game on another level.

I don't think HZ have so ambitius planes about NPC, also if it's still an amazing game, probably with some different goals.

[candid terrace]

PZ doesnt need npcs to be super different. Yeah, each game is going for a different level on the scale of survival depth and realism. All i was saying is HZ is on its way to a real good middle ground. We all know where PZ sits. Aaaaalll the way down the end of the scale labeled "Hardcore". And does it so very well

But yeah keen to see how each game handles npcs

[outer tendon]

That's right but at least in my opinion if you play single player the game could become less funny with time, also if all games are different..

NPC would add a lot of interesting things, fear of bandit (a shoot can be letal, so more threat), NPC interaction, changing on world for NPC metavers moving on the world, NPC will move when you are not there so they can barricade, devlope profession ecc

This mean that you will be able to conquer the mall and after some time fight bandits that want get in ecc

It would add a depth level that, at least for me is absolute fantastic, so for me is a fundamental feature, at least for single player game.

I agree about you affermation about HZ. I'm exited to see his devloping.

[candid terrace]

There's defs still plenty of fun to be had without the NPCs but i absolutely agree. Honestly im looking forward to the improved and expanded survivor stories and random events and stuff too though

I like those cause they make the world seem alive without completely relieving the sense of loneliness

[outer tendon]

Yeah, also i think new stories will come with b42

[sand sleet]

Tbh, not as excited for NPCs. I don't really see them adding bandits and shit, because it feels like it'd be impossible to code them in a way that doesn't get them instantly eaten by zombies. More complexity is always better imho, and I am skeptical of 'improvements' that take away from the original game.

[light gazelle]

🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨

what is bro cooking

[sand sleet]

Best to just toss it, tbh. Ethically, it is garbage, and not worth discussion.

[outer tendon]

For what I understand they will!

It seems difficult also to me see so advanced features, but they have been very specific about what they want implementing in NPC area, you can find some thursdoid about it.

For me it's essential as single player addittion, but this is only my opinion.

If they will be able to do it or not, it's another thing.

Let see what future will bring.🤞

[sage moth]

Prolly NyQuil chicken.

[sand sleet]

How dare you bismirch NyQuil chicken.

[sage moth]

Blessed be your god given right to give yourself brain damage and salmonella at the same time

[sand sleet]

Salmonella? Fuck no. Brain damage? Yed

NyQuil-marinated rotisserie chicken with some of that marinade reused into a sauce. Getting gourmet in this shit.

[sage moth]

I was sort of referring to a specific image ive seen where someone was about to wolf down some raw ass chicken drenched in NyQuil.

[sand sleet]

Bah, I am not so stuffy as to consume chicken tartare. My pallate is, while refined, is more suited to homelier meals such as a delicious spit-roasted NyQuil chicken.

[sand sleet]

The only downside is the massive hole through my brain those "doctors" are on about, but I call it a little speed hole. Makes me think faster.

[woven rock]

Lobotomite in the chat, lets goooo

[sand sleet]

Who is it? 🤕

[candid terrace]

Everything that happens outside of your chunk or whatever is basically a randomly generated text adventure of events. I dont think they'll struggle with this too much for NPCs. To me their best use as Companion NPCs would be as Guards/Scouts for your safehouse. Give em a radio and set em up on a vantage point so that they can warn you when a Horde or Bandit group is approaching your base. Scripted Raids by Zeds/Bandits could actually work then, a bit like State of Decay. These horde mods that just spawn zeds near your character arent nearly good enough

[brisk flower]

One thing I'd like to see is the ability to choose your dominant hand in character creator and have your non dominant hand as weaker so when your arm gets bitten it isn't such a death sentence

I know I'd switch hands if my other arm was out of commission

I suppose you could have the choice of left handed, right handed and ambidextrous for easy mode

[serene dagger]

I'd assume this would be something they'd consider when they add amputation

[dim flame]

Not too far now fam. Not super close, but not too far

[calm flame]

Progression isn't linear, mind

[outer gust]

It's an extreme curve, the orange is 58 years

[calm flame]

58! years

You misread that email

[sage moth]

That shit operating on windows time.

[torpid isle]

Why would I look at the picture when the gestalt of the image is already in my mind

[calm flame]

lmao

[sage moth]

Why look at the picture when I can simply remote access Bren's desktop and read through the code myself to determine approximate completion

(There's an error on line 37 btw)

[calm flame]

That would be clever if he had code access

He'd be too busy correcting RJ's spelling mistakes

[sour plinth]

nice first stage will be Sims, second stage will be age of empires, third stage will be Civilization 6

[naive crag]

well, according to the roadmap, b42 is 3/4 of the way done, and its 2 years since b41 cane out, so i reckon there is 6 months left until the full release of b42, and maybe sometime fhis month for the IWBUMS branch. 🤓

[sage moth]

Like I said error on line 37

[torpid isle]

By my estimate it's going to be released in 10 minutes (nasKo said progress isn't linear, but he didn't say it isn't exponential)

[dim flame]

yeah that's what can be mistaken

[compact pike]

my question is whether this progress bar is for the full build, or for the unstable version

[orchid perch]

unstable

[outer tendon]

well.. at least we have a release data now😂

[timber dust]

Finally, an official response to link to when people ask!

They're already doing so much this update I'll be interested to hear about what the "intermediate updates" entail once it's time for those to have a scope

will we be seeing a improvement to admin tools in mp servers in b42 🙁

2024 could be a good year if build 42 does happen.

[fallow ocean]

Conversion from pizza graph mayresult in precision loss.

[wide jay]

what pizza box

[rich hill]

Does that roadmap image get updated periodically to show progress? I don't think I ever had the expectation that it was updated to reflect current attitude about nearing an IWBUMS or public release of B42

[naive crag]

lemme ask u sum

will u be updating the roadmap every percent

❤️

[fallow ocean]

I don't think so, it was very outdated and people kept referencing it, so it got a face lift.

[wide jay]

a light pamper

[teal spear]

got it,lets reference the road map daily

[pliant sigil]

my roadmap projections

[quartz hull]

maybe this upcoming build 42 will have the longest gap compared to build 41.

[naive crag]

oh so is the purple part of b42 not saying “we are 75% done with b42!” or

[wide jay]

lol

[spring smelt]

I think it's probably like an instalation loading bar

it has some easy and quick parts on the instalation so it can jump from 0 to like 50% or so fastly

[wide jay]

rofl its buffering

[spring smelt]

and them get stuck there for a while cause it got into a heavy file

[wide jay]

on dialup

[spring smelt]

exactly

[wide jay]

it is set in 1990s so its fine!!

[quartz hull]

1993 is an interesting year too bad I was born in 1999

[fallow ocean]

No. 86.73% of all internet statistics are made up on the fly anyway

[quartz hull]

lol

[fallow ocean]

But seriously I dont think any of us would be able to tell how far the loading bar is at the moment

[quartz hull]

some day we will see build 42 😉

[wide jay]

i wanna see these. :3

[compact pike]

wouldnt it be crazy if the beta released on my birthday ha ha hahaha ha.....,,.,.,.,..........

[wide jay]

finally a use for cones haha

[brisk flower]

It's like the steam updating bar

It'll reset to 0

Then jump to 95, then back to 40

You'll know it's finally ready when it's stuck at 99% for ages

[spring plume]

buddy the road map is for the beta 🤓

[serene dagger]

It'll be interesting to see the spec differences between beta 1 and release 1

[candid terrace]

I just hope it doesn't drop too close to ff7 part 2

[outer gust]

This is about the only comment I've seen on it that is exactly right

[wind widget]

Are the devs also are thinking to implement the possibility to get a table's leg from real tables or only find them around the map?

[candid terrace]

specific

But nice

[brisk flower]

Give us more teasers

[candid terrace]

Nasko.. unbind him

[sage moth]

Exactly and for what is, essentially, the same reasons.

If I had to guess the purple represents how many check boxes on a task list have been filled, much like how many installers track their percent completion, but much like those installers tracking their check list, not all tasks on the check list are created equal

[candid terrace]

Some smart installers leave the easy to move data till last 😜

[sage moth]

https://tenor.com/view/far-cry-release-me-joseph-seed-gif-12887358985963630884

[sage moth]

It is quite a neat trick, but it doesn't change the fundamentals. It primarily makes the user think it was faster than it really was, and unlike those installers the developers cannot really back load the easy lifting very easily because QA testing, in my extremely limited experience, is always the hardest part.

[outer gust]

No

[brisk flower]

Wow kids are crying, Christmas is ruined

Hope ur happy

[candid terrace]

Lmao i know its not a real comparison we just having fun

[brisk flower]

I would like to be able to access cars through the boot if the boot is unlocked

Irritates me that your character is just like welp no way in

Huh i had guessed you were Aussie but i guess not

Short for utility truck i believe

[brisk flower]

Noo unfortunately not, I'm a Brit

[candid terrace]

Same. I just live here lmao. Forgive me. Its the name "Deano". Australians love appending names with "o"
Aaaand thats enough off topic

umm

pat... teasers

[calm flame]

Ey Pat crack a cuppla tinnies and unleash some teasos mate

[candid terrace]

[brisk flower]

Nasko knows where it's at

Slightly off topic but you guys should do a dev blog to talk about what you all do

[calm flame]

But then where is the mystery

[brisk flower]

My head Canon is Pat logs on writes a line on an annotated map and calls it a day

Guns here

Yep that'll do

[calm flame]

Hard day of work done

[brisk flower]

Dream job

[calm flame]

Off to listen to the NOLF main menu theme and bother the rest of the team with daft ideas

[brisk flower]

Now that would make a fun blog

Worst ideas of the week

[candid terrace]

I bet thats just your normal wednesday

[fallow ocean]

If he has too many daft ideas might decide to skip other parts of his job

[calm flame]

the context is Pat, keep up

[brisk flower]

Pat is motivational support human

[candid terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrate-gif-22469816

[calm flame]

[outer gust]

I'm motivational in the sense that I'm so bad everyone else feels good about themselves in comparison

[calm flame]

Many mornings I woke up, looked in the mirror, and thought

"At least I'm not Pat"

Then I drove my car to Burger King

And cried in the Burger King restroom

[brisk flower]

Burger king? They're paying you too much

Off brand takeaway burger that gives food poisoning but costs 2.99

Now that's living

3 star hygiene rating or below, none of that fancy stuff

[candid terrace]

Still better than Hungry Jacks

[brisk flower]

Hungry jacks is burger king

Right?

[candid terrace]

its.. just not the same

[brisk flower]

Not the same as Australian burger king? Which isn't owned by burger king or not the same as burger king in the rest of the world which is owned by burger king?

[candid terrace]

Its the Aus franchise of burger king yeah. But its different

never short a bogan or two

[brisk flower]

Like kfc here

[brisk flower]

I think one day I'd like dynamic traits in game, it'd make runs more varied, I think maybe professions just give you a special trait earlier instead

Like axe man, if you use an axe enough you should eventually earn that trait

More unique traits would be cool or a good reason to pick certain professions. Maybe starting gear, metalworkers starting with citizen bullet proof, tailors with some padded clothes

Although that could upset people that like to start with nothing but fabulous hair and boots

[sand sleet]

Harry Hammer doesn't even want to spawn with boots smh

[bold sandal]

i'd like to see Permadeaz 3 in B42

Surely not it's only the 10th

That's crazy

3 unless you're from the future like Australians

[quartz hull]

we could have thursdoid this week or next week

[brisk flower]

My guess is next week or the week after, although the spiffo changes could be a hint to this week

7 days of spiffo

[compact pike]

Or maybe admins just bored as f

[brisk flower]

It's definitely a conspiracy

[naive crag]

lets not get too ahead of ourselves

[spring plume]

yes it is boy

[brisk flower]

Too late all builds up to 48 releasing at once this Thursday

Hype

[fiery lake]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[raven flame]

+1

[candid terrace]

Also +1. Its not an ultimate solution, like Pat said there kind of isn't one. But that sort stuff definitely is they key to extending playtime. As always loot balance is an important factor. Rn once you get to the top you can pretty much stay there quite easily. The only thing that can really go wrong in terms of survival is getting bad RNG on a zed wound roll.

[brisk flower]

I think it's inherently a problem with the survival game genre as a whole. Many of them struggle with end game content and often just fizzle out once you get so far

The difficulty of pz cushions that a lot though as it's a challenge to get to that point

But I suppose you have to look at what an end game for it could and should look like and what will keep players going

An in depth story/lore to discover as you travel around is one way. The ability to wipe out all the zombies is another which can only be done through sandbox and your own insanity of wanting to do it

I think for me, it'd be in building and machines. Restoring the world to some normalcy, getting product lines going, rebuilding communities and populating them with survivors. Or even out there stuff I've discussed like restoring water/power or escaping the zone after completing insane objectives. Something that's difficult to work towards but damn satisfying

But it'll be down to the devs on what tools they want to give us and then up to us to create our own story

The modding scene also adds a lot of things you can do so the game can stretch a lot further than most survival games

And multiplayer/rp can extend that further

But it's what the devs vision is for the game, and we'll see what exciting things they cook up

[calm flame]

Well for us at least, it's that a lot of our plans for the endgame will ultimately really come to fruition as we progress through the NPC systems with each phase, as it goes from more basic encounters that don't really persist with characters in the metaworld similar to the encounters in This War of Mine, over to persistent characters mixed in and the metagame basically being a metagame version of Crusader Kings, where shit is happening in the world outside of your doing and you might just be in the way of a bigger event, and the like.

I can see the point in wanting some expansion of the meta events to make endgame more interesting and challenging though.

[brisk flower]

I think it'll be fun to see how much npcs change the game and the scope of them. I'm excited for it

[calm flame]

Basically what we previously talked about with the Sadistic AI Director but now the word AI is tainted so

Not unlike Rimworld I guess, where it throws things at you to keep you on your toes

[brisk flower]

Just say sadistic ai director like left 4 dead used

That is more palpable

[spring plume]

npcs are gonna be awesome, i'd love to see a something like an npc in your group gets sick, then you have to go look for medicine and you stumble upon a guy taking the last bottle of pills from the store so you have to choose between killing him and taking the pills, or looking somewhere else and potentially not finding the pills. but, if you kill the guy, his faction gets angry at you and that sets off a chain of events

[brisk flower]

Has someone been rewatching TWD

[calm flame]

Yeah tons of examples

Has to be plausible though

Not the skyrim sort of THIS GUY KILLED A CHICKEN HALFWAY ACROSS THE REALM GET HIM

[spring plume]

have you guys got any idea on how you'd talk to npcs?

would it be a sort of fallout style dialog option thing or would you be able to say custom things

the latter would probably be really hard to implement

[calm flame]

ultimately just means more version of the same encounter

two guys, you kill one other gets away, tells the faction

or you kill both and they never find out

etc

[calm flame]

Yup but not really something I'll talk about as we haven't really mentioned it before

[spring plume]

fair enough, can't give too much away lol

[brisk flower]

Press a button for a random sarcastic or angry comment

Good old fallout 4

[spring plume]

spam q and yell at the npcs

I would personally like something like walking upon a destroyed base or something, like spawning in West Point and a month in you go to Louisville and you see like broken down overrun bases and corpses

[naive crag]

when npc come out probably

[timber dust]

Just a six-letter way to say "last thing I referred to"

[compact oriole]

hopefully an Dev could answer my Question.

are these Cells: 16,36 - 16,35 - 16,34 - 15,36 - 15,35 - 15,34 affected in Build 42? thats are the most important Cells for me to know.
its way to hard to see on the Picture shared for 42

would be nice if you could share which Cells or atleast which "old" Cells are affected so we have an better overview

[sand sleet]

"Referred" we get it, you finished school. You highfalutin' educated types with your fancy words and full 10 fingers.

Oh nvm looks like that fun is over lol

lol i didnt even notice rofl

[candid terrace]

What im super interested in is what initial meetings of strangers will be like. Like, how are they gonna portay that suspense of not knowing each others intentions? I hope to really feel like i cant trust anyone right away.

Like, you walk into a house and find yourself at gunpoint with an NPC. How is trust resolved?

Or you walk into a house and find a seemingly defensless NPC begging for help. Again, can we trust them? Should we be sweeping the house in case they have friends ready to jump us when we drop our guard?

[brisk flower]

Stripping naked show you're not dangerous just deranged

[compact oriole]

Thought it is a hidden secret / countdown for something 🤣

[timber dust]

I like to think they asked everyone "in the office" to draw Spiffo and these were the results

[brisk flower]

I can't wait for npcs so I can finish what the zombies started

[sand sleet]

Burn down the house. The devs worked hard to put in them fire mechanics.

Sorta interested in seeing how, if at all, NPCs react to my half naked hammer-armed madman who craves zombie blood and carpentry VHS tapes (he can't read)

[outer gust]

I definitely want players who snipe/do arson to have way more of a chance to get sniped/burned by NPCs

[sand sleet]

Fuckin' having to make a fire shelter in my house lmao

[sand sleet]

That's awesome in a deranged way. Don't like the new NPC update? You can fix that yourself.

i was wondering what about the texture and the erosion we saw in the video....it will be implemented in the vanilla map?

[brisk flower]

I was drawing you from memory but apparently you have a moustache so I need to add that in

Maybe u can help and stand model? 🤣 i had to. Sorry😅

[naive crag]

i didnt see what u said above at first and i just thought “thats pat”

[rough laurel]

Makes sense. In a world where working together can mean the difference between life and death, someone going out of their way to be a jerk will probably incur the wrath of the survivor community.

[outer gust]

Not pale enough

[outer gust]

I have dark blue eyes also but I enjoy this rendering

[sand sleet]

It is not my fault if those damned survivors do not understand what 'private property' means. So what if they showed up with gifts? They should have known their error when they decided to knock on Harry Hammer's heavily boarded door.

My landmines are for their protection as well as mine.

You can just write that as lore, you're the lore enforcer after all

[torpid isle]

Taking another opportunity to beg kindly request the ability to rotate placed items on a 2nd axis in a future build (just exposing the relevant Java function to let mods add it would satisfy my hunger for decorative freedom)

[sour plinth]

new week new thursdoid hope

[quartz hull]

in thursdoid we trust

[brisk flower]

Wdym?

[frosty coral]

give him a book and make it look like he's talking?

[wind widget]

Any info about roofing? I have built a small town of flat top roofs and feel like....ok 😅

[rancid cloak]

they want to be able to turn items on their x or y axis instead of just their z axis

[brisk flower]

So they can face everything any way they want?

[timber dust]

You can already rotate them on 2 axes, some large furniture objects can only be north or west but small objects can be rotated with "R" when placing and furniture can be rotated by clicking and dragging

I'm sure at some point we'll get a map polish pass to fix missing or extraneous furniture and building elements as well as make more furniture items movable, disassemblable, and rotatable in all 4 directions, but there's already a lot going on in B42

[spring plume]

they don't mean furniture, they mean 3d objects you can place

[nova glacier]

What date will there be news about build 42?

[brisk flower]

I suppose they'll have to make more items 3d to do that, which honestly would look pretty good I reckon

I like the 3d items we have

Be good to have loads more

Although it's a mod the 3d model when you're carrying corpses and tvs is so good. Looks great

One thing I hope for is they update the car art style to that of k15. They look really good compared to base game cars

Well I think it's their cars, I have so many installed 😅

[spring plume]

to be honest i like the base game cars

i dont think the k15 cars really fit with the game's aesthetic

[brisk flower]

They're not my cup of tea but I imagine you're not alone! I find the windows to be ugly

The only time I like them is at night when the stars shine off them

That's a nice touch

[candid terrace]

Yeah its small stuff like being able to place a broom so it looks like its leaning against the wall, instead of leaving it sprawled across the floor.

You're just asking for some looney tunes slapstick leaving that shit like that

Not good WH&S

[torpid isle]

Not more items, just the same items but being able to rotate items on a second axis

(not that I'm against more items; very much looking forward to stuff like the new dice showcased a while back. just not what I meant)

[brisk flower]

Sorry what I mean is they'll have to turn the existing items from 2d sprites or whatever you call them into 3d models in order to do that

Or maybe they won't, they may have a clever plan

[torpid isle]

Not necessarily, since those still rotate like furniture

[calm flame]

What Omar is saying is in relation to the items you place, which already are 3D. Instead of only being able to "yaw", they want to be able to pitch and roll them too.

[brisk flower]

Ahh right!

[torpid isle]

Yes 🙏🏾 My fire extinguisher needs to be properly rotated

[brisk flower]

That sounds like hard work 👀 would be good though

Can finally watch my TV upside down like zeus intended

[torpid isle]

When I was digging around to see if I could do it with a mod, it seemed like it'd be entirely doable in theory but the relevant function wasn't accessible

I'm sure there are more concerns I'm not considering (like whether all items even have textures for the parts that don't show) but from a technical perspective idt it'd necessarily be difficult (since the work for rotation has been done already)

[brisk flower]

My only thoughts are whether the game is 3d in any form (I'll struggle to explain this) so whether it'd work or is it 2d

So like say we could drag them camera down to eye level, would we see the houses in 3d or would they be flat

[torpid isle]

I'm not sure I understand the hypothetical, but nonetheless the placed items are already 3d

3d in the sense of their models, anyway

[brisk flower]

Going to use a mobile game as an example, homescapes has 3d characters that walk around a drawn in world, so whilst it looks like they're interacting and walking up stairs they aren't really

But then as you say cars can flip upside down no problem and rotate so that shouldn't impact it

[torpid isle]

I think it would still work—there's enough depth imo for something to look like it's “leaning” on something else

With the engine changes for more depth, a change to allow this would mean—finally—a tea party with plushes in which they can sit all around the table. True gaming

[brisk flower]

Now that would be a dream or usable swings please so I can swing away

I'd actually be interested to hear a devs thoughts on the challenges or how easy it would be, would be interesting to hear how the world works and interacts

Without melting my brain with terminology

[torpid isle]

I hadn't thought about how that'll make stuff like that visually possible. I bet that fitness mod will see an improvement

[brisk flower]

Maybe the taking a bath mod as well which I love

[torpid isle]

I'm assuming you're talking about a dev providing info about the rotating thing, but depth has been touched on already. See, for example: https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2023/02/play-your-cardz-right/

[brisk flower]

The only other challenge I can think of is memory usage, isn't skyrim notorious for sucking every inch of memory because it has to remember where you positioned everything

Except when you walk into your house and everything just explodes into a mess. Just Bethesda things

[torpid isle]

I'd have to check but there may already be a field for that bit of the rotation, even if it's unused. Unsure whether it's saved, though

[brisk flower]

That was a really interesting read, hadn't seen that so thanks!

It breaks my brain to think that all of the world is fake 3d

More so when I think about 4 storey buildings

Some clever trickery

Reading that article my dumb dumb just thinks well for more complicated things such as lampposts why not just make them 3d so the character is actually able to physically interact with them but there's probably really good reasons why

https://tenor.com/view/my-goodness-what-an-idea-why-didnt-i-facepalm-the-simpsons-gif-17489109

Nasko rn

It must be like reading a cavemans thoughts

Reading what I put

[brisk flower]

Do you mod? I bet the Modders will know if not

The creator of this mod may know I was thinking? As it seems to create fully 3d models. The TV when carried sits at a funny angle (not flat) so it looks like it could possibly rotate on both axis

Not sure if that's a camera trick or not

Planetalgol made it it says

Of course once placed it becomes a 2d object again but they may have some knowledge

[torpid isle]

I assume it's because it's acting as an item in the character's hands

I do mod but I certainly don't know all the details & would need to check, but fairly certain there wasn't currently a way to do it with placed items

[torpid isle]

Also regarding this, I think they touched on this with the “no way in hell we’d ever be able to do this for every tile [in this case, object] in the game.” Maybe someday, but I can definitely see why that wouldn't be a priority

[elder void]

that modder is now a dev

[brisk flower]

Interesting!

[brisk flower]

I think another limit might be how the physics will work as I don't know if the game actually has physics lol

Like say you have an ice cream cone, irl a cone can only stand up self supported one way, or it can be laid on it's side

Or you lean it up against something

So if a player tries to stand it on the pointy end, will it fall in game or just stay wherever you put it

I like to think of all the things that probably stress the devs out

Give them sleepless nights

[torpid isle]

As it is now it would just stay in that position, but this is already possible to do (e.g., putting something in an "impossible" position on a table)

[sour plinth]

Im watching "The Crazies" where the infection comes from the water and makes everyone crazy, the military isolates the place, etc lol

[pliant prism]

i dont think they have talk about it yet

[torpid isle]

Roofs were very briefly mentioned in https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2023/10/cellar-door-doid, in the stoneworking section

So, there isn't info on it as far as I know, but it is on their radar

[exotic summit]

Hope that new crafting system would add an end game possibilities.

Because there's kinda not much you can do after you setteled.

[timber dust]

That's the stated goal

[candid terrace]

I cant remember if they said rats will be able to get into your food supplies, but that kind of stuff defs has the potential to extend the survival struggle.

[nova glacier]

What date will there be news about build 42?

[torpid isle]

One of the next few Thursdays, probably

[wind widget]

Is gonna be funny keep the cow/cows constantly pregnant to have milk and keep the calfs for leather and meat🤩

[hard goblet]

My expectations of a release date range announcement will start from February, and will increase exponentially as the months progress.

[sage moth]

I think build 42 will drop without any foretold announcement of a release date out of spite

[nova glacier]

Well, yes, this is clear from the developers' tweets

[sage moth]

Clearly not as clear as one might expect

[torpid isle]

I was answering the question of “news about” it

We already know the unstable will be this year, anyway, so I'm not all that eager to make further predictions

[normal tinsel]

Build 42 is tomorrow I can feel it

[winged willow]

🙏

when build 43 tho i want to be negan

[normal tinsel]

I just want less multi-player desync 😭

[quartz hull]

I am thinking build 42 should first focus on the single player before the multiplayer.

[grizzled granite]

Nobody plays multi-player anyway

[quartz hull]

I dont like multiplayer games as much

single player games always add some convenience.

[brisk flower]

Sounds like trapped wind to me

At best an announcement

[naive crag]

i got server with plenty of people 🤷‍♂️

[naive crag]

why wednesday

wait

are thursdoids technically fridoids for aussies

[grizzled granite]

I'm being facetious

I know multi is a big thing lol

[brisk flower]

[grizzled granite]

I sent a survey saying if you like me

I only got "no's" 😔

[brisk flower]

Terribly sad 😔

[quartz hull]

lets hope this week we get a nice thursdoid

maybe something that will get us more excited and some day we could go back to the weekly blogs.

[wide jay]

monthly has been pretty cool , more shtuff to read

[grizzled granite]

im sure it will be exciting but I doubt its gonna go back to weekly

Happy Thursdoid Eve everyone !

[torn helm]

The thing I look forward to the most on these last months

hell yeah

[wide jay]

Riverwood is gonna be awesome to start in!

[torn helm]

I can't fathom how louisville will be smaller in comparison to the expansion that's coming

[compact oriole]

Louisville become an Expansion (over the river) in the future. Is not "done" as far i know

[brisk flower]

So I'm a bit curious/concerned. Yesterday's blog recapping on everything coming in b42 lists 5 things then proceeds with a long planned list to be included. 2 years into the development of b42 seems a bit late to be listing them as planned?

I mean obviously you've shown you're working on those features, just a bit baffled as that's a long list of maybes

Not sure if it's just the blog wording that's a bit odd

[torpid isle]

I assume it's more of a just-in-case thing

Like, if they're ultimately unable to include whatever X thing from that list then they can point to the multiple blogs saying “this may not be in b42, but it's something we're working on”

I'd bet most if not all things in the “planned” section will ultimately make it into the stable release, if not unstable. But that's just a guess

[rough laurel]

Hey Devs! You gonna release a slick new trailer showcasing build 42 update when it comes out?

[brisk flower]

Fingers crossed! I hope so, I think what you said makes sense

[normal tinsel]

I can feel build 42 coming

[exotic summit]

huh, hell na.

Project zomboid hardcore survival with friends is the best thing you can do

Most of players downloading silly mods and casually playing sadly

[sour plinth]

this game should be subscription based too but if you survive 1 month with your caracther you get 1 day free before paying so you have to keep surviving for free game lol

[candid terrace]

You can fuck right the fuck off with that shit lol

[wide jay]

loot boxes with random lifes lol

[quartz hull]

lol microtransactions we are going to cause people to want to leave

[wide jay]

add claw machines to the game!

[odd saffron]

🤡

[quartz hull]

playing arcade games and it displays that acutual game you play.

[sour plinth]

claw machines you have to pay 1$ to make it work and it's a minigame

[wide jay]

finally a reason to use money!

[sour plinth]

no, our money, real money CC

arcade games should require real money in PZ so it supports the devs

[wide jay]

does toehair count

[quartz hull]

microtransactions is greedy and will make many people want to quit PZ if that happens

[wide jay]

its not going to happen lol

[brisk flower]

Thankfully the devs value realism and pz is set when games were actually good

So no lootboxes

[elder void]

the river is the end of the map as far as the devs are concerned

[compact oriole]

At my Info not. In one thursdoid they mention it with louisville Expansion and that with 42? Its possible to go negative x y whats till now wasnt really possible. I Look later when im home for the thursdoid i mean. But maybe im wrong. I will see it later

[brisk flower]

I think they meant in terms of skyscrapers are basements

Build height

[elder void]

it's both, the map was previously limited to below March ridge and east of lv. 42 fixes that but the devs aren't planning on going above the river

modders will now be able to expand up there though

[brisk flower]

Ahh right right

[outer gust]

Because LV is a lot denser

[outer gust]

Give your brain a polish and come back to us

[brisk flower]

That's not until build 48

hey pat can i get a word of advice

so my hair , its long and some days its fluffy other days its a mullet

nah its usually in 2 hours from now

i mean its been 4 weeks since last thursdoid so

i dont know either today or next week

ooh ok

maybe maybe

depends, its happened before that its been 4 weeks but not come out until the 5th week since we've gone to monthoids
connection is made: august 17th

it depends on if they wanna round a month down(which would have been 28 days) or up (35 days)

if the thursdoid does get released today this thread will be locked.

I'm glad there'll be one next week at all, assuming what was said up there was accurate

I thought they might count the stuff-from-previous-blogs blog as the one for this month

This is from this week. No idea whether it'll continue to be updated. I assume so but 🤷🏾

[torn helm]

Oh ok
I think that might be it though, having the main info in one place would be cool

[quartz hull]

still no blog post yet lol

[torn helm]

There's always next week, I think It'll be most likely on the next thursday

[quartz hull]

the last thursdoid of January.

[normal tinsel]

In the next hour the thursdoid will drop i know it

[compact oriole]

If not, you owe me 50 bucks on steam.

[quartz hull]

its odd for a thursdoid to be announced on the last week of a month.

[umbral plaza]

Well... The last day of january is a wednesday

[quartz hull]

next week is our last thursday of the month

Personally I think it would be better if there were a blog post every hour addressing every question (even those that haven't been asked)

I really do miss both when they were weekly and when they were biweekly, but I understand changes are necessary for sustainability or whatever else. I await the return to biweekly nonetheless

[uncut sapphire]

On a more srs note, I for one choose to appreciate the devs not having to shoutcast every moment of the dev process. They got stuff to do other than entertain people begging for every single 'tomorrow' to be the Build 42 release date lol
Keep doin' what you're doing guys

[quartz hull]

I would rather it be a surprise.

It should be a live-doid obviously where you focus on talking about not adding things instead of adding things.

I hope that we haven't entered a standard where we're getting Thursdoids on the last week of the month instead of second-to-last.

[wind ocean]

they should do thursoid where they dont talk about anything relating to the game, like they just talk about a good place for food in the authors hometown

or they post a thursdoid talking about adding a feature already in the game

[brisk flower]

Or the thursdoid should discuss what's coming in the next thursdoid and then that thursdoid discusses what's coming in the next thursdoid and so on. Endless loop for infinity

Member when this chat was full of theorising about b42 and wishlists? I member
