I don't see the problem with last week rather than second-to-last? As long as it's consistently on that date it's the same wait (assuming that pattern continues)

[quartz hull]

Maybe some new weapons or clothing new tools

More animals

[brisk flower]

Hippos

[copper star]

Finally! Hippos!

[quartz hull]

Hunting deer in PZ it will be like the buck hunter games

[gilded delta]

So thursdoids have went from weekly, to bi-weekly, to monthly?

Just trying to make sure. Was wondering if the mobile article counted as a thursdoid or not.

[torpid isle]

Yes & I don't think the mobile article counts. Whether the b42-blog-recap-blog does is uncertain, but based on messages sent before in this channel I think it does not (i.e., expecting a thursdoid this Thursday)

[quartz hull]

This week we will have something good

[sour plinth]

are we going to have colombian cocaine hippos ?

[echo grail]

@sour plinth cocaine bears

[normal tinsel]

Are bows planned for B42?

[outer gust]

Probably not on initial release but possibly in beta

[rancid pewter]

What about ICBMs? They coming in 43 as well then?

[outer gust]

Yes, if they are Incredible Crafting and Badass Machines

[rancid pewter]

Awesome 😍

[sage moth]

Most nuclear ICBM's, if you could craft it in an apocalypse, would wipe out most of the game space

[quartz hull]

Radiation leading to uninhabited land for a long time

[naive crag]

i still dont know a ICBM is

probably what pat said

incredible crafting and badass machines

[sage moth]

Intercontinental ballistic missile
If you've heard fear mongering about WW3 and a nuclear winter, it would be icbms express mailing that eventuality were it to happen

[hard goblet]

Nukes

But not the WW2 kind, but the kind that everyone was worried about in the Cold War

[quartz hull]

nukes in PZ and all zombies will have some radiation

[uncut sapphire]

Fallout stuff might be a neat total conversion someday

[brisk flower]

Pretty sure most nukes only have a radius of 30 miles

So assuming it hit louisville centre, looking at Google maps muldraugh would be fine

If we assume riverside is in the same location as brandenburg then that would also be fine, just west point would be toasty

If the nuke hit west point though it'd wipe out all the above

I don't think there's any irl equivalent locations for rosewood and March ridge

So hard to work that out

I stand corrected Ekron exists (not sure if our Fallus lake is the equivalent location or not)

[uncut sapphire]

This makes me begin to wonder how much the geography/cities have changed since 1993

[brisk flower]

There will be maps out there

Not sure what the equivalent in the US is but we had AA maps

[rough laurel]

Best news I've heard for the new year.

[hard goblet]

Still hoping out for a IWBUMS build between March and June

Hey, what kind of new mods do you hope for in B42?

[timber dust]

🙌

[timber dust]

I'm hoping some that I use now carry over, but if they don't have animal companions like cats and dogs I can see that being one

[torpid isle]

Players who are terminally online enough already knew b42 would be out this year because of the dev comment 😎 nice to have further confirmation though

[quartz hull]

I dont like rushed games

[umbral plaza]

Bunkers

[winged willow]

Devs will we be able to eat poop in B42?

Will make the game easier pls add it as a feature

[torn helm]

Not sure, but I can already imagine modders are gonna go wild with the new stuff

looking forward to that

Animals mods mostly maybe, like proper dogs

[winged willow]

Nuclear meltdown mod, like the one in the 100 praimfaya, once you reach 10 years youll need to go underground since there will be a whole nuclear meltdown and will destroy the entire world and stuff. Since underground shit is being added in b42 i think this will be thr coolest mod

You get 10 years to prepare yourself for this.

[torn helm]

Even if not in the base game that would make for a pretty cool scenario/challenge

[winged willow]

And maybe after a year or so you can finally go back to ground level

[winged willow]

It would right? Im praying for someone to make this mod

Wish i knew how to mod and i would happily create this

Imagine going back to ground level and seeing every single building burned down and every single tree turned in ashes

[brisk flower]

I'd like to see some more graphics and lighting mods I think

[quartz hull]

imagine surviving 100 years in PZ

[torn helm]

Yeah that is not something we have a lot of

[brisk flower]

This is how you di-wait why are you still alive

[quartz hull]

if an age system would be added and choose how old the character is.

[brisk flower]

Noo I always play as a badass old lady

I don't want to have a heart attack 5 days in

[torn helm]

Not a big fan of having a peak age and growing older and less efficient
but maybe

[sour plinth]

there should be an option for zomboids if attracted or scared of fire lol

[torpid isle]

I think it'd be cool if a mod added zombies to the game. The base game is a fun life sim but I feel like it would be better with zombies for some reason

[sour plinth]

imagine if sims comes out with Sims : Zombie apocalypse

omg ive just realized are we all sims players ? anyone who didnt play sims here ?

[torpid isle]

I have a feeling a significant portion of us play/played yeah

[hard goblet]

Making buildings for map mods is literally playing the sims

[umbral plaza]

As dude who makes map mods... Yes

[rough laurel]

Let's be real, most won't live past two years.

[sage moth]

Something I've heard spoken and confirmed frequently by other users, but for which I have yet to find a source, is that the earliest development started with a bunch of modders for the Sims.

Unless someone with a red name elaborates

[elder void]

it doesn't take much googling to find pz's history

That would be a better quote if Valve ever released a damn thing. It's no good being that late the person your meeting is dead

[sage moth]

Listen chief if they ever do Half life 3 and the G Man's first words to Gordon is "You're late, Mr. Freeman" I'm going to laugh my ass off

[brisk flower]

Let's hope

There's actually only one thing you can't hurry in life

You can't hurry love

No you just have to wait

[compact pike]

me thinks they should give me IWBUMS build access on my birthday on the 26th :) i think that would be awesome

[brisk flower]

Yes birthday bums please

[fallow ocean]

You also can't hurry the inevitable entropy that will end the universe so your theory is wrong.

few more days until our thursdoid

[umbral plaza]

Wednesdoid tomorrow? 👉 👈

[torn helm]

Thursdoids have now become every other month out of spite.
No January thursdoid is provided.

[quartz hull]

Thursdoids are like a drug fix.

[normal tinsel]

B42 will release this thursdoid I know it

[copper star]

wouldnt that be cool

[sage moth]

[quartz hull]

some time this year we will finally see build 42.

[hard goblet]

"What a load of 🚽"

[past hound]

its been more than a year since we got a small update

[rough laurel]

Yeah, and soon we'll get a huge update!

[torn helm]

Maybe a testing phase could come somewhat soonish

That'd be something good to look for

[brisk flower]

https://tenor.com/view/stay-cool-gif-3837745007110732485

Video of unknown perspirating thursdoid writer who's spent all week writing a thursdoid about cats reading how everyone expects the update to drop

[outer gust]

I don't write the Thursdoids, they'd never give me that power

[brisk flower]

The writing man doesn't write thursdoids, the mystery grows

[naive crag]

im not getting my hopes up that high- an unstable branch is enough

[outer gust]

Update's not dropping yet, cool your jets

[torpid isle]

Maybe by “not dropping yet” Pat meant “dropping in 30 minutes”

[fallow ocean]

He does additional writing, Thursdoids are not additional

[naive crag]

is yet considered thursday??

i just want more news on the fire rewokr

[outer gust]

Can't help but feel insulted

[naive crag]

its ok we love you pat

[fallow ocean]

Not an insult it is just how math works

[brisk flower]

So when you say cool your jets you're hinting that we're getting planes in b42 right

[naive crag]

im just gonna say it here since its more likely to be seen but

i think fog should be changed just a bit, maybe make it less intense and rarer

cause fog is NEVER as intense as it is in zomboid and not as common irl

like i feel like its twice a week i step outside and i cant see a few meters ahead of me ingame

idk i just feel like it should be altered a bit

[brisk flower]

It definitely shouldn't occur in summer

Early morning mist/haze maybe

I'd quite like more interesting weather things overall

Although some would probably be too difficult

Apparently Kentucky even gers hurricanes and there was a cyclone in Louisville in 1890

Stuff like that would need to be rare though I guess or it'd be annoying as

But yes more logical mist please

[torn helm]

Yeah I can see where you're both coming from with the fog

[compact pike]

The fog in the game is exactly how a smoke grenade should work, instead of spawning gray columns

[naive crag]

as someone who lived in kentucky for 13 years, the fog is not intense as it is in zomboid

like today, im in ohio now but the fog was considered “strong” and i could still see a good quarter of a mile ahead of me

[outer gust]

We're making a spooky zombie game though, gotta have them spooks

[naive crag]

fair yeah its just silly how fog is basically a wall of cloud where you cant see more than 5 tiles around you

at least make it that intense only for strong storms

[calm flame]

[spark mortar]

the weather system is great, no need to change it

[quartz hull]

nailed stick as a weapon sounds interesting from the newest tweet lol

[naive crag]

:(

[copper star]

Kentucky zomboid slayer actually based in Kentucky

[naive crag]

back in my prime yeah i was

[copper star]

[spark mortar]

all this tweet for teasing us and produce more hype

[quartz hull]

tomorrow is going to be a fun day

I hope so

[copper star]

Add little meows meows and dogs

[copper star]

I thought you said ngheh

[quartz hull]

having dogs create some cute puppers

[copper star]

I want all breeds

And they’re gonna run around like in packs because all their owners died

[quartz hull]

I hope cross breeding dogs to create some nice mix breeds.

Holstien angus crossbreed cattle

[umbral beacon]

That’s what fog is like in the Ohio valley

Speaking from experience living in Kentucky my entire life

The fog’s that bad

[naive crag]

i guess i wasnt around that area when i lived there

frankfort area was where i was so i dont know

[umbral beacon]

Not along the Ohio river

[brisk flower]

Surely it's only bad during temperature drops though? Late summer autumn

Or you get early morning haze before the sun burns it off

[wind widget]

Did anyone notice some Thursdoids ago where they showed the new camping items and tents near one of those tents there where a light on candle on the ground so maybe in b 42 we will have the option to keep candles and lanterns on even when placed?

Please devs can u give any hint about that even a whisper🙏

[compact pike]

#tweets message

If you have a hammer to drive nails, isn't it better to use it as a weapon instead of a stick that breaks easily?

People who drive nails with a random stone that they found - you are cool, under other circumstances this weapon does not justify its existence

[vital hamlet]

stick is probably long blunt while hammer is short blunt, also you dont want to break your only hammer thats also useful as a tool when you can sacrifice sticks and nails

[brisk flower]

A while ago nasko said they can't add code you made unless they hire you...does that mean all of your mods are coming in b42?

[fallow ocean]

No, it means I could add things from the mods if they're desirable and we have time to do that.

[brisk flower]

They're desirable go go go

[fallow ocean]

That is not up to you, TIS will decide

[brisk flower]

Alright tell me where to slip the fiver, I get it, grease the palms

[brisk flower]

That's clearly someone vaping

[elder void]

Current content updates are on hold to put all available resources towards B42

[umbral beacon]

I really appreciate the attention to detail :) I just wish the map was more 1:1 with Kentucky

Prolly not possible though considering zomboid is flat and Kentucky is a mess with all the rolling hills

[compact pike]

Sorry for rude words (in case if a dev who made it is reading)

[compact pike]

apart from temperature settings for modded maps

[spark mortar]

maybe, but for vanilla map i don't see any trouble

[torpid isle]

Stick long, hammer small. Stick reach long. Stick good

[compact pike]

yeah ofc not but i need custom temperature settings

im not about to make an Arizona map with Kentucky temperatures

same for stuff like rain frequency

[normal tinsel]

God gave me a vision he told me fret not child B42 is tomorrow

[brisk flower]

Which one told you that

I'm not falling for your muting tricks!!

[copper star]

YAY!

Hummer head metal, hummer hits, big damage. Stick no metal head, hits no pain. Stick do nothing, stick breaks. Stick useless

Stick not cool

I finally got over my b42 obsession im a free man now, i came here to inspire and give courage to others living through such distress, if u want more daily inspiration on how to overcome your zomboid addiction follow me on instagram

[compact pike]

I mean, if you want to get it at a longer distance, make yourself a spear and don't embarrass yourself

[torpid isle]

Hammer SMALL. Stick BIG. Stick GOOD

[timber dust]

Opened Steam and PZ shows as "Updating"
Heart in my throat I check the game page, Steam is validating files -_-

341 days to go

[fallow ocean]

A new build would not go straight to the stable version, so it would not update automatically. You will have to opt into the new beta when it arrives.

[naive crag]

stable or unstable release

stick rework idea:

when you forage, you get a randomized weight of sticks between 0.2-3.4kg. heavier stick, the larger it is. crafting spears is still allowed of course, when a stick is 0.2kg, the spear will also be 0.2kg. every 0.2kg is half a tile of damage range

[umbral plaza]

Why tho?

[naive crag]

of course, a stick that is 3.4kg would be 17 TILES. very large range, but a stick that big, would exhaust you in like two swings.

[naive crag]

idk

coolness

its like ur saying u dont wanna swing a big ass stick at a zombie

[torn helm]

Often times that's mods updating, I think
Used to think the same in my earlier pz days lol

[naive crag]

i was faded when i typed that its still a cool idea tho

[normal tinsel]

I can feel the unstable version...

[elder void]

you assume we don't have a macro auto checking for an update every day

silly dev

[plucky socket]

lastthursdayofjanuaryoid?

[nova glacier]

news about build 42 will be released today?

[compact pike]

God i wanna work as an artist for you guys so bad, here's to waiting

[hard goblet]

They confirmed Thursdoid today

[torpid isle]

Every time someone asks they delay the thursdoid by 1 second actually, so it should come out around 2028

[final talon]

it'll be fun for sure when it comes out ;D

[foggy coral]

How can I see the progress of the game?

[final talon]

wdym

the update progress?

in theory it's almost done, one or two decades it should be released

rome wasn't built in a day after all

[umbral plaza]

Two decades

Current Roadmap simplified:
https://i.imgur.com/Q5tdnLW.png

[naive crag]

build 42 is about 72.7395% complete

also why do i have a weird role of “undisclosed”

i think its only vets who have it but

[copper star]

So a quarter left

Wait where’s the thursdoid

[spring smelt]

dam that last stick released looks brutal

full on baseball bat size

[torpid isle]

In the tweet they said the thursdoid will be released “today.” Did they mean “today” with the meaning it had at the moment the tweet was published, or “today” with the meaning it will have for some day in the future? Devs, please stop working and answer because we need clarification on this immediately

[copper star]

[torpid isle]

That was not intended to poke fun at your question—just a general impression of people being rabid for thursdoid

When it's posted I'm sure it'll be in #blogs_n_teases after a while. Sometimes takes a little bit to be shared in that channel after being posted

Where my Thursdoid?

[hard goblet]

Usually they come out around 3-5 hours from now

I typically read them on the train home from work

[elder void]

it's for "that" channel

[naive crag]

😉😉 got yaaaaa

[brisk flower]

Still not out

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-di-caprio-god-blood-diamond-danny-archer-belief-gif-4598794

[quartz hull]

maybe it could be out by the afternoon

[elder void]

that's the typical release time

[quartz hull]

I remember when some thursdoids happend in the early mornings in my time zone

[elder void]

it happens, but typically it's around 2 or 3 hours from now

[quartz hull]

lets hope for something new for this blog post.

any month this year the public can finally play build 42.

[elder void]

we already got a stick. I don't know what else you people want
