What would make sense to me is to simulate spawning as migrations coming from the edges of the map moving inward or across. As if huge hordes of Zombros are coming from other regions outside of our map and spreading across the roads and towns. I feel like of you could disable spawning in a zone that you yourself determine you're not gonna be able to resist abusing it. This way its a bit more organic

placid girder
#

sometimes I set respawn hours and migration to about 168 hours (7 days) so that when you do clear out a particular area in town, you can have that satisfaction and peace of mind for a few days without the emptiness from turning respawn completely off

# timber egret isnt it just the dismantling and forest stuff

the whole “skill affinity” stuff is mostly to be able to live in a better community, atleast before NPCs to do it in singleplayer

every scenario they give when describing a feature is always abt multiplayer like “imagine one person using this feature and another using this and working together”

again it’s just ironic

ember drift
#

I mean, they need to patch up some singleplayer stuff to make sure multiplayer will work correctly

i dont want to just dismantle things for a specific xp continuously if that makes sense, im really bad at explaining

ember drift
#

I think dismanling everything for xp is pretty boring

timber egret
#

yea , kind of really easy too

ember drift
#

I find that the people upset by the change just are just so used to it that it would be weird getting xp in other ways

timber egret
#

i mean i guess depends on what your trying to level up , dunno i literally never bother leveling up any other skills because of how tedious it is

ember drift
#

It's not a fun mechanic. Building stuff for XP would be more interesting

timber egret
#

ya something like that , more hands on

ember drift
#

Building low level fortifications in random areas would be cool for building up carpentry

#

I do think you should get some experience for dissasembling, but make sure that it is in no way the primary way to level up

timber egret
#

yah

jovial hedge
ember drift
#

I think that there will be more to carpentry than just building structures tho

jovial hedge
#

i still stand by the idea of doubling the time needed to dismantle. so that people won’t dismantle for build materials unless crucial because no one wants to wait that long

ember drift
#

That's a horrendously bad idea lmao

jovial hedge
#

how

ember drift
#

Its already tedious enough

jovial hedge
#

because it gives exp…

#

they’re taking out exp

ember drift
#

It won't in 42

jovial hedge
#

i don’t think you understand

#

it’s only tedious right now because it gives exp

#

once it’s gone what are you dismantling for? materials

#

they don’t want that either, but people will have to so that they can build for exp

ember drift
#

Chopping trees is still the best way to get materials for carpentry so there's not a massive need for dissasembling random furniture

jovial hedge
#

so i’m saying to just make it longer to dismantle so that they can cut trees instead of furniture

ember drift
#

I guess nails but its way easier to just go searching for a box of them

jovial hedge
ember drift
#

Just kinda boring

jovial hedge
#

ignoring my idea, what’s your plan for b42 regarding furniture

#

before you would do it for exp

#

would it be that now you’d do it for materials?

ember drift
#

You wouldn't do it at all, thats the point lol

timber egret
#

yeah i wouldn't even bother dismantling if it took long , just like those other skills i push under the rug of nopery fluff

jovial hedge
#

they don’t want you dismantling at all

timber egret
#

BUT cant we dismantle railroad tracks for things

jovial hedge
#

you’re forced to build an axe yourself or find one

#

not rely on furniture

#

the people who don’t want to make or find an axe will just dismantle furniture because it’s not hard

#

so simply make it take longer

inner fable
timber egret
placid girder
#

whether dismantling items gives XP or not will probably be a setting

carmine jay
#

We need to remember that players, when given the opportunity, will optimize the fun out of a game. If the optimal strategy is unfun, they'll still take it because it's optimal. The challenge of diverting players away from tedious dismantling is to make its drawbacks outweighs alternative methods.

One way is to make it less efficient for XP per time spent compared to, say, chopping down a tree and converting logs into planks.

You can do this by either increasing time for dismantling or decreasing XP per item. And time includes, not just time for actually doing the action, but also finding the tools to do it, how often those tools need to be replaced, and the time it takes to find an item.

An alternative is to increase the XP per time of making things, and the time here also includes the time it takes to gather the materials, which logically makes construction much harder to balance compared to destruction.

placid girder
#

iirc they did mention that they will increase XP gain when building items (i.e. “increase the XP per time of making things”):

…a common server admin complaint is that the map swiftly becomes barren of furniture and loot containers due to players chasing XP. As such, in B42 scrapping, dismantling and ripping items will no longer grant XP.

We no longer want progression in a skill to involve destroying piles of items or trashing the map; and instead to concentrate on making things. XP for actions such as building structures and repairing clothing has been boosted to adjust for that, and the individual skill XP multipliers in the sandbox settings also offer more means to compensate. (This said, as things stand, XP for dismantling electrical items or wrecked vehicles remains.)

this is talked about in the Cortman by Night blog post if anyone wants to read up on it again: https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2024/07/cortman-by-night/

i would assume it depends on the type of axe and the quality you want for the handle. locking you completely out of crafting axes until you level carpentry doesnt seem like something theyd do to me based on the stone axe existing in b41. But i suppose we wont know until IWBUMS

You know, I'd just like to appreciate TIS' system of makeshift armor and weapons. Like, slapping together armor out of tire rubber and making an axe by taping a saw blade to a stick? How many other games let you do crazy stuff like that?

It's less about wait time, to me, and more about rabid behavior. I remember the “b41 when” era & maybe it's just my memory but I swear it was worse then

inner fable
#

Next week they'll talk about a second axis of rotation for placed items I can feel it

carmine jay
ember drift
#

It depends on how you go about it

#

The way most engines do it is that the character goes into a rag doll state, does the physics for a bit, and then when all the pieces have stopped moving they go into a ‘sleep’ state where they are no longer calculated

#

Seeing as physics objects exist in the way of cars and stuff, it’s not infeasible. Tricky, for sure, but certainly not impossible

#

If it were constantly checking for collisions on every single bone for every single zombie, yes it would absolutely not work, but that would be a foolish implementation

glacial veldt
#

99% of the time ragdolls are goofy and distracting

#

Not to mention it isn’t really necessary, practically the entire map is flat ground, static death animations are very effective and are probably extremely efficient

timber egret
ember drift
#

I find the static death poses to be boring as hell to be honest

#

With the sheer amount of death i think it could liven things up, ironically 😎

It could also certainly be an option as well

also different colors of apples to add a nice attention to detail like these golden delicious

# plucky relic Does anyone know if B42 will update/add new traits? I've read a while back when ...

new traits? Idt they've detailed much of that yet. Updates to traits? Yes; this info is scattered across multiple blogs. Ctrl + F "traits" for results:

1.) https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2024/03/zaumby-thursday/: "Wind, fog and rain, as well as general lighting conditions now have an effect on hit and critical chances. Some of these can be offset by traits or skill levels." Might tie back to how Eagle Eyed (and other related traits) may affect weapon hit and critical chance and rate of fire
2.) https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2024/02/leapdoid/: this one mentions "making some character traits have more direct gameplay implications – with a case-in-point being character builds with vision-related issues" (essentially, some traits will now be more consequential)
3.) https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2023/04/bren-after-reading/: they go over the additional planned mechanics of the Illiterate trait
4.) https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2022/08/camp-gigamart/: they'll be adjusting traits to avoid exploits and all (so probs less "free points" and all) might've linked the wrong one, but I'm sure they're considering this for future traits as well
5.) https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2022/02/holy-cow/: this one talks about "affinities"

I would argue that it's better for the game to keep it's low-detail aesthetic. Generally, vague visual representations for in-game objects allow for more flexibility in the underlying design.

the more realistic it tries to be, the more critique it gets

I truly don’t understand how time and time again so many people are underwhelmed by realistic looking games, yet refuse to play anything that doesn’t look ‘realistic’

It's already a GOAT without saying anything.

But... if it can come to the Nintendo Switch 2, it will be the GOAT of all GOATs.

Portable GTA 6 and still cheaper than a Steam Deck

jovial hedge

well what was something you wanted that wasn’t there then

magic birch
#

fun?

jovial hedge
#

like something that would make it fun

#

unless it just simply isn’t your game no matter how fleshed out it is. cuz main thing is that you kinda get out of reality into another

#

though you play zomboid

magic birch
#

I like zomboid for the amount of options, the multiplayer, the size of the map and the mods

jovial hedge
#

i feel like u just described gta

#

maybe u didn’t get to rly see what it was about

magic birch
#

yeah i know they're similar except for mods probably

jovial hedge
#

gta mods are better than zomboid

magic birch
#

but somehow racing in zomboid, despite the lags and other issues is way more fun than in GTA

jovial hedge
#

and i play zomboid like 100x more

magic birch
jovial hedge
#

i guess we’ll see how gta 6 goes

magic birch
#

I can't say what can make GTA fun for me, but I can tell what annoys me: shooting and driving experience. Guns feel like toys, like you're firing an air gun and cars are "arcadish", meaning it is so simple to drive it is not interesting. I know it's not an FPS, nor a racing game but these two activities make much of the gameplay and because of that I didn't like my time with GTA.

#

Also, you can't really do anything to the city in GTA, while in Zomboid you can level it to the ground if you like.

GTA is ok, but it has its issues. I am not a fan of them promising sp dlc and then not releasing it cause they realized they make far more money with MP and shark card MTX, and you know it is going to be worse in the future. Also take-two did KSP dirty and I can't forgive them for that.
