Rich aliens back then, now very poor if we index the inflation rate

Should lend them some cash

[lunar tangle]

i|'ll elaborate later, but in short it's just a fun nod to romero's zombie

[vagrant idol]

i'm of the opinion that weird supernatural or crazy sci fi would cheapen zomboid's depiction of zombies

and the 'military experiment' trope is tired

though it's obviously ambiguous on purpose, i hope the source of the infections is a freak pandemic

[finite glacier]

i never want to know the source

EVAR lol never never

[sinful geode]

but as I said

Must keep it to a grounded realistic and believable level

[lunar tangle]

space radiation that turns humans into zeds are plausible /j

[sinful geode]

no

space radiations consists of all the known types of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected on the EMF spectrum like radio waves, microwaves, infrared, UV, X-Rays, Gamma and Cosmic

cosmic radiation will fry you in seconds

[finite glacier]

it was from cloud seeding spiffo farts

[lunar tangle]

true, henceforth the joke indicator in my message

[sinful geode]

it's harmful ionizing radiation that can't be absorbed by living tissues, I mean it can but it will fry them

[sinful geode]

didn't see that

[sharp parcel]

Nice.

[signal sparrow]

we need Mad Raccoon Disease every time we eat raccoon meat, which gives you hiccups with a sound radius of 100 tiles for the rest of your playthrough

Is the telecorn real

[fluid trench]

Yes!

Need to hear more about the cooking revamp. I like to think a good meal is one of the few bright spots in a survivor's day.

[fallen badger]

Polish Frens, the world could really use B42 rn.. 😦

[sturdy oak]

Not sure if we are getting that in b42 but it’ll be exciting to see when we do get more details about it down the line.
I think we are getting new Tupperware so maybe we can store food in them, for food to stay fresh for longer.

GTA is bad

After Vice City

[lean geyser]

Oh no, his Ligma is acting up again 😦

[lean forge]

Dual weilding in PZ would be interesting lol

[lean geyser]

There's already a pretty decent mod for it!

It works super well with The Only Cure as well

[fleet ferry]

Frankly I just want to be able to make scrambled eggs. It's kinda sad that survivors can make omelettes but have no clue how to do scrambled eggs.
I'd love if you have a dedicated cool in your group, the higher their skills the more buffs or happy moodles you can get out of your meals. It would give an insensitive to have variety in your food rather than serving raw cabbage heads every night

[lean forge]

collecting some tasty eggs from the chickens.

It'd be amazing just to have a reliable source of eggs and milk after the apocalypse 🤤

[versed kestrel]

I liked 4 but I have to mostly agree

[lean forge]

I would like to find a raccoon and name it Fred.

[cursive fulcrum]

I also liked 4, more interesting than 5 at least

[serene bough]

5 is great tho, saying it’s bad is just getting used to how good the standards are

it was literally revolutionary

[flint edge]

dude whaaaat San Andreas is the goat

[finite glacier]

is 4 with niko?

the one with niko is my fav one

[serene bough]

yeah

[finite glacier]

niko ballik

[lean forge]

GTA 5 had too many mountains and made the rural areas empty.

[serene bough]

ur still proving my point that ur too used to the high standards that you forget what you have already

with the map and content given in 2013 you really couldn’t ask for more

[wet fern]

everything outside los santos kind of sucked tbh

[sinful geode]

I agree, as a GTA fan I can say the rest just went a little downhill imo

[sinful geode]

mhm I am still going with Vice City, but also a nice edition

[lean forge]

GTA Online is the reason the franchhise went down hill with futuristic flying bikes that shoot missiles and flying cars

[cursive fulcrum]

When I was playing GTA when I was 12 I always assumed it would evolve into a fun and deep crime life simulator, like Dark RP they'd call it now, but it went on a way more boring direction

[lean forge]

GTA SA was interesting and Vice city has the best soundtrack

[hexed light]

Pat played gta when he was 12 what’s the 12 month? December clearly b42 is in December…

This writing is so beautiful pat 🥹

[lean forge]

my first GTA game was GTA 4 and I was 9 years old at the time

[cursive fulcrum]

Mine was GTA 3 when I was 11 or 12, before we had a memory card, so I'd play it every day and see how far I could get before all my progress was gone forever

[finite cliff]

I had a similar experience with Rayman 2 on the N64. You couldn't save without the additional memory card. My broke 7 year old self had to keep the game running 24/7 if I didn't want to lose my progress.

[cursive fulcrum]

Rayman 1 was my first ever game. "The circle is complete."

[woeful bolt]

i really only played battlefield games and call of duty when it was good

[sinful geode]

shooters only?

why PZ?

[flint edge]

COD is still pretty good for what it is. Most people just got old and bad at the game lol

[sinful geode]

PUBG

best battle royal ever

hardcore, realistic but saddly full of Asian cheaters

one of the best shooters I've ever played and I've started playing shooters since Quake III Arena

[sinful geode]

reflexes.....not the same like an 20-year old's

[strong depot]

Will there be a way to apply to be a beta tester?

[sinful geode]

?

[signal sparrow]

sometimes one eventually grows tired of the same genre so indie games provide fresh and much more interesting gameplay. Used to play lots of shooters and now I'm hardly interested in them

[oblique condor]

I have a strong feeling that the new release might be around Christmas. Perfect opportunity for a release given how things are already in motion, more people are likely to get a copy of the game as well.

[finite glacier]

Pupper.exe!!!

[sinful geode]

Was gonna ask if that's you trolling us

[finite glacier]

noo , thats pupper.exe lol they died to eating a dandelion

[sinful geode]

I have started my gaming experience with the classic Carmageddon

and then it was Diablo I Hellfire

But never sticked to the same genre over the years

[sinful geode]

very good movies nonetheless

Anyone aware of this glitch that just popped up on Reddit?

I know that spamming sprint in search mode while carefully timing the actions is another way to do it, it doesn't break the search function

But this is new to me

[marsh wigeon]

I remember playing first GTA and Carmageddon at school, when those were already forbidden around here

those were among my first pc games

but it was Starcraft and XCom that made me want a pc

[sinful geode]

ohh Starcraft Brood War

my love....

[marsh wigeon]

Spending time in Brood War's map editor put me in the road that got me here

[sinful geode]

It was really a good editor for 98

98-99

[marsh wigeon]

But it took me years to mod Brood War, only after I left SC2 modding

[sinful geode]

Alongside some of my friends we have modded Heroes

Heroes III

It's now an official patch the current Heroes III Era remake

[strong depot]

HI BESTIE

[sinful geode]

Favorite SC race?

mine was zerg

and still is in SC2

[sinful geode]

forbidden !?

by state? or just commie propaganda ?

[marsh wigeon]

Ohhh Heroes 3, I still play it with my girlfriend. Spent so many hours in that editor too

[marsh wigeon]

None, I just loved the whole lore

[marsh wigeon]

By law yeah, we had the carmageddon version with zombies/robots, but that was not the version I played

[sinful geode]

Best heroes game, also keep an eye out for Heroes Olden Era it's in EA and it's a very good remake of Heroes III

Ok I'm guessing some ex soviet east EU country bc I live in one that was bent on this type of austerity and censorship

[marsh wigeon]

Yeah for the first time I'm hopeful I'll be able to play a new Heroes game

[sinful geode]

also I sense you like RTS so the Commandos game is getting a remake next year it will reach us

I think Commandos: Origins

[coarse python]

I hope interior spawns can also be improved

So you don’t end up with bathroom parties

[serene bough]

so you hope the game gets ruined🙄

[vapid zenith]

But bathroom parties are funny

Which immediately makes it a good addition

[finite glacier]

noo i love bathroom spawns lol

i hope they never change those theyre so funny

[signal sparrow]

they should add more bathroom party events, in fact

basement parties too

[finite glacier]

oh thats gotta be a thing lol

basement band party lol

[serene bough]

basements bands could be a thing

imagine like 6 zombies dressed in punk

[finite glacier]

thatd be so cool lol

or or a basement thing that is like waynes world!

[versed kestrel]

And shows 🙂 I am a big star trek nerd

[sinful geode]

Pickard ?

How it seemed to you ?

Did you enjoy it ?

[versed kestrel]

First two seasons were ok, not great but not the worst, third season was very fan servicey but was pretty decent

[sinful geode]

fair

[versed kestrel]

Worst part of Picard was || Them killing off so many beloved characters tbh ||

[sinful geode]

I believe they got that inspiration from GoT

[versed kestrel]

yea pretty sad

I knew it was || and I second guessed myself

lol

[sinful geode]

it worked for the first 6-7 seasons of GoT

especially the first 7 ep from season 1

but after experiencing that

It just didn't feel the same in other shows I guess

[versed kestrel]

I think I was already used to that cause of TWD

[sinful geode]

for me it was GoT first

horrible ending btw

just ruined it in the last 2 seasons

[versed kestrel]

I never watched season 8 of GoT

[sinful geode]

have you read the books ?

[versed kestrel]

I haven't

[sinful geode]

hmm

I believe it's best you read first and watch the show later

[versed kestrel]

fair

[sinful geode]

it's a different experience overall

at least it was for me

[signal sparrow]

an idea for a one-time, guaranteed The Indie Game Store basement party/band/event on every run:

a horde of zombies all wearing TIGS clothing in some random residential basement. After bashing all their heads in, we’ll explore the basement to find: (1) a hidden notebook or piece of paper in a hollow book to indicate them secretly developing a game; (2) a mannequin with a pristine Spiffo suit on it; and (3) a cardboard box with a chance of containing all plushies. The image below would be TIGS HQ

[lean forge]

having basements does make having a survivor colony base would be interesting.

[finite glacier]

Tis lan party lol

[versed kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/everyone-ready-kyle-broflovski-kenny-mccormick-stan-marsh-eric-cartman-gif-20869572

having a place to sleep could also be quite interesting

[finite glacier]

Lol

[sinful geode]

old school lan party

[finite glacier]

Lmao i was gonna say wheres the ductape one

[sinful geode]

that curtain :))

also it's CS?

[serene bough]

and then steal the laptops!

[sinful geode]

yep it think it's CS

[lean forge]

I miss those old computers

[finite glacier]

i dont lol

[serene bough]

was boutta say😂

[finite glacier]

was annoying taking them to lan parties

[serene bough]

oh

[sinful geode]

heavy

as shit

[signal sparrow]

still see some of those old computers at public libraries; they’re slowly replacing them

[signal sparrow]

dismantling those TIGS computers should give extra electronics XP

[finite glacier]

when can we use them to talk to one another on the map

[sinful geode]

there is a mod, you can order stuff off it like ebay

[finite glacier]

lol

[sinful geode]

yep

and it's delivered in front of your house

Still amazed my parents saw the cover of this and bought it for me when I was like 9.

[signal sparrow]

never knew Carmageddon existed until today

[elder sandal]

I remember giving in to nostalgia and playing it again, but I remember it aging horribly lol

Like many games of the era

[signal sparrow]

never heard of StarCraft or Heroes either. I imagine they were really fun back in the day

taking auto-saves for granted nowadays too

[finite glacier]

you have never heard of starcraft?!

[signal sparrow]

[finite glacier]

lol, its great im really bad at it , but that first starcraft is so good such great soundtrack too

[sinful geode]

classic 90's game

[signal sparrow]

there’s a remaster? Nice. Might check that out

[finite glacier]

oh i didnt know that, thats awesome!

[sinful geode]

this is how I started in GTA....

[sinful geode]

Starcraft I had great lore behind it, OSTs, somewhat good MP, a big hit in it's genre for that time

[versed kestrel]

GTA 2 was such a banger

[serene bough]

do any of you guys use the stat bar mod thing? like showing all ur stats as bars instead of moodles

i hate it lol

[finite glacier]

Like the minimal fisplay thing?

Or have a pic of it

[serene bough]

yes

that

[finite glacier]

I used to use it a lot , but kept abusing it with the boredom meter , it was nice for seeing if you had a neck scratch but ended up not for my playstyle, can see the appeal though

[serene bough]

i like estimates

[finite glacier]

I can see it being good for new players

[versed kestrel]

I have never really used it, but it wasn't a thing when I first started

[novel plinth]

I hope we get awesome hillside bunkers in b42

And hills to drive on

[serene bough]

yeahhhhhhh...

i think next thursdoid should show the military research base if it got any changes to calm down folks

neat little surprise but again its if it got updates (it should tho)

[fluid trench]

we should be able to switch the hand we swing with in case we get injured in it

[ripe notch]

I may usually prefer shooters, but eventually it gets so stale that something else hits the spot just as well. The thing is, PZ is quite unique in comparison to other zombie games, most of which i dont care about

[burnt bronze]

Fr, PZ is so much more than just a zombie game.

[sinful geode]

Depends on the shooter I guess, for me PUBG never got old, they simply couldn't handle the hackers and exploits which led to most matches being ruined and we decided to leave it alone.

[ripe notch]

I hate BR games and their shitty fomo so ill never ever stick with that kinda thing

Pubg however is one of the better ones atleast, still somehow afloat after the BR trend exploded

[sinful geode]

It was the first

the recoil, gun handling, damage are hardcore

[lament osprey]

that would be nice, as of right now I believe the mod fancy handwork does this, I wish it was vanilla tho

[sinful geode]

yup, 2 and 3 will always be my all time favorites in the series

[hearty frigate]

Next week B42 release trust me bro

[wild roost]

GTA 3 was my first GTA

pretty fine actually for old times

Maybe even now

[steel gulch]

will project zomboid ever get achievements

[sinful geode]

Excellent games, we take graphics nowadays for granted in comparison to those 2, lore and roleplay weren't a problem, back then, the visuals on the other hand.... primitive

[wild roost]

I guess so, maybe when it will be released as release version not build

So it means never

[mental token]

Probably not. It'd shepherd players into certain ways to play rather than play freeform

[fickle kernel]

Not really, sure maybe for a few runs, but they would honestly just be braging points

[versed kestrel]

It wasn't! Just the first to really popularize the genre, I was playing Arma 2 and H1Z1's BR modes (also made by player unknown) long before PUBG was a thing

[versed kestrel]

^ Forgot to make the above a reply, woops

[wet fern]

h1z1 💀

totally forgot about that mess

[vapid zenith]

I want an achievement for drinking three tubs of bleach in succession

[versed kestrel]

[sullen coral]

an achievement for not dying

[sinful geode]

yeah like you said BR modes

PUBG was BR only game designed in that fashion

[versed kestrel]

As soon as H1Z1's mode started to pop off they put all resources into it and abandoned Just Survive(wasn't called that at the time)

H1 and Arma walked, so that PUBG could run, and Fortnite (which was originally a base defense game which also pivoted) could fly

I am not a fan of the genre really, mostly played with friends

[sinful geode]

they had to do it, they sensed the market's thirst for br only games

[ripe notch]

i actually had interest in fortnite's base defense game when it was a thing

they said they'd make it free at some point (they never did, i fucking hate them for that)

[versed kestrel]

me too! I was so excited

[sinful geode]

Arma another respected shooter

[versed kestrel]

oh I also played the rust BR mod before pubg too forgot about that

that one was funny cause there was no teaming at the time, friends and I all "dropped" at the same time, I told friends to jump, dude in front of me didn't jump so I shot him in the head with an arrow, check body and it was my buddy

I laughed so hard at that one

he was probably like 200m away when I launched the arrow at him

[versed kestrel]

Also just remembered, The Culling predated PUBG's release by a year and it was designed from the ground up as a BR

[mental token]

Then they made the Culling 2 which just felt like a ripoff PUBG

And then a lot of Battle Royale players started shifting over to Extraction Shooters

[versed kestrel]

yup yup

I never played Culling 2 but I remember them releasing it and it just looked bad, especially considering their first game being decent, at least early on... And the community died super quick

then they tried to rerelease Culling 1 Day One, reverting their changes to the original game but it was too late

[versed kestrel]

Near the launch of PUBG buddy sent me and a few other friends a link to tarkov and said "This is the future" and none of us wanted to buy it cause they were an unknown company and weren't on steam - we were worried it would be a scam lol

currently playing SPT lol

[wet fern]

i remember when they said that h1z1's full release would be free but the early access would be paid lol

and then the day before release they said it wouldnt have pay 2 win features and then on launch you could pay for airdrops which gave you the best loot in the game

[versed kestrel]

ahh yes I remember this

I was very much looking forward to H1Z1 (survival mode)

so glad I didn't give them money for it (was on a computer that could not run it at the time)

[wet fern]

i unfortunately did buy it but couldnt run it anyway lmao

[versed kestrel]

😢

brutal

[sinful geode]

Yeah but the Culling never rose to such success as PUBG

[sinful geode]

maybe but the visuals are annoying nowadays

since we are used to high quality graphics

seeing that pixelated 2.5D / 2D ......

[wet fern]

the bigger issue is the framerate tbh

you have to lock it to 30fps otherwise everything breaks

[sinful geode]

you have DSR factor multiplier in NVIDIA control panel for old games

[versed kestrel]

Last time I played GTA3 it was less the graphics being an issue and more that the world is just so tiny, feels like a tech demo

[sinful geode]

come on man the characters look like hitboxes

from the future

it's like back to the future in Vice City

[sinful geode]

yeah, worlds back then were small

[versed kestrel]

yup yup

[sinful geode]

in most games there was linear progression, open world was not even a concept back then lol

[versed kestrel]

it definitely was a thing, just much smaller scope most of the time, mostly due to hardware limitations

[sinful geode]

imagine the whole game had like 8 GB?

or less?

[versed kestrel]

probably less

[sinful geode]

yeah it's really bad luck these games suffered from hardware limitations

came out to early to soon the graphics industry was pre-booming

[rigid grove]

I remember playing San Andreas and the map felt massive because it had like 3 entire cities in it and a whole lot of areas outside the cities but apparently the map is actually quite small

Actually it was pretty big

[nimble dagger]

is build 42 gonna come out this year?

[rigid grove]

November I think

[nimble dagger]

so this month

[signal sparrow]

it’s estimated for this year, yes. We don’t know if it’s November or December

[sinful geode]

1

[nimble dagger]

alright thanks man

[rigid grove]

Last dev blog they were talking about people playing on the closed branch and enjoying it so it must be coming soon

[sinful geode]

first guy of the day to ask about B42

[finite glacier]

i picture december

[sinful geode]

was gonna say we have a new record but he just didn't let that happen

[versed kestrel]

+1 month

[sinful geode]

this week I've counted 7 people so far

so +7 months for B42

[finite glacier]

go check steam forums and count that lol

[versed kestrel]

[sinful geode]

no no

[sinful geode]

that's cancer

terminal

[rigid grove]

Rather than another “we are preparing the long preparations to prepare to begin the long process of starting to polish the build in preparation for closed testing and a possible unstable release in the future”

[signal sparrow]

checking out the Steam forums would be like walking through the corridors of Waverley Sanatorium

[finite glacier]

lol

like that blubber dude

[sinful geode]

Where every room has it's own loon story

[sinful geode]

highly depends on tester's feedback coming in these weeks and a last feature they want to have in the unstable, operational

My pz server (for friends) launches tomorrow, and I am worried I missed a mod or setting

[finite glacier]

delete from trashcan ?

[versed kestrel]

I actually enabled that one cause it is just friends

[finite glacier]

yah i meant enable it lol

[versed kestrel]

ahh yea

[finite glacier]

i always forget that one until were playinga nd im like darn

[versed kestrel]

normally I have it disabled, but they won't abuse

[signal sparrow]

all should be fine as long as no Spiffos are trashed and deleted

[versed kestrel]

I shall watch the logs with great interest

[signal sparrow]

you’re launching the unstable soon? Nice!

stable perhaps in a few months

[versed kestrel]

[signal sparrow]

[versed kestrel]

only decided to do this cause a few friends finally got into the game, hoping they don't burn out before B42 MP comes out

cause that is what I was waiting to get people into

[finite glacier]

noice , unstable finally

[signal sparrow]

I’m sure you know this: try not to play everyday or they will probably burn out. Keep ‘em busy with some end-game goals too

[signal sparrow]

lol Muttley laugh

[sinful geode]

and keep teasing them with b42

[versed kestrel]

gonna be saying "that is coming in B42" a lot lol

[finite glacier]

rofl

[sinful geode]

ohh yeah

[versed kestrel]

"Oh I wish blank was in PZ." "It will be, in B42"

[sinful geode]

a lot of questions will be answered with b42 at the end

[finite glacier]

lmao give them a notebook and tell them to write it down

[versed kestrel]

lol

[finite glacier]

"ok now i need to collect your hw"

[lean geyser]

If I had a nickel for every time I said that I'd buy The Indie Game Store and play Build 42 internal test Build

[versed kestrel]

gonna be making notes myself on things they ask to see if I can find mods for it

[versed kestrel]

😂

[sinful geode]

a little too late cauz the build is now closed

[lean geyser]

[finite glacier]

yah , i always tell people who ask if they should start now or wait until 42 to just play now and just use it as a comparison and for feedback once 42 comes out

[sinful geode]

yeah well that's what you get when you're trying to push it out

goes from internal to closed and maybe this year open

[versed kestrel]

pretty much!

git good now so we can do harder settings in the future

[sinful geode]

I like this

[finite glacier]

haha ya

[sinful geode]

I like the hardcoreness behind it

always was into hard playstyles

[signal sparrow]

sprinters

[versed kestrel]

I want to eventually do a semi hardcore server with them, where if they die they are banned for like 24 hours or something

[sinful geode]

no water, no power, no food, no other loot

[versed kestrel]

😄

[sinful geode]

try a wilderness run

[vapid zenith]

Yeah I'm holding off from playing pz till 42 so I don't get burnt out prematurely lol

[sinful geode]

if the forest map will be available

[versed kestrel]

I don't think I can get burnt out tbh, game is just too good

[sinful geode]

spawn them in nature with nothing just the zeds close by

[versed kestrel]

but other people can for sure

[vapid zenith]

Oh dude it's amazing, but even I get burnt out on my favorite gamrs

[finite glacier]

yah me neither cause i find the first beginning part of the game the funnest so looting n stuff is just something that is never boring to me

[vapid zenith]

It's always fun to pick some back up after a few years with some ruthless challenges tho

[finite glacier]

but i can see those who live long gettin gbored or burned out lol

[vapid zenith]

I've been playing Enter the Gungeon with some mods and holy shit it's hard lol

[versed kestrel]

that is a fun game

[sinful geode]

depends on the degree of challenge

[vapid zenith]

Played it ever since like, 6 years ago now I guess lol

[versed kestrel]

I have played it a bunch but it always makes me stop playing and instead pick binding of isaac back up lol

[wet fern]

the fog and road layout makes it feel way bigger

[serene bough]

i wish devs would add bug fixes and qols to b41 since multiplayer isn’t on b42

[finite glacier]

huh

[sinful geode]

?

doesn't make much sense to me

also kinda counter productive

B41.78.17 = B42

[steel gulch]

B2387 real life zombies update

[lean forge]

real life zombie apocalypse starts

[finite glacier]

noo lol

[frigid sapphire]

I have been blessed with a prophetic dream of b42

I am here to share a message: it is Fun

[signal sparrow]

not fun, but Fun

thank you, Omar

clarification edit: no sarcasm intended

[lunar tangle]

multiplayer isn't made available only on unstable release

[serene bough]

ik but some people don’t like singleplayer

so really the release date is when mp comes out

so having some parts in b41 would help

[proud seal]

God I'm just excited for the mods of the patch

Imagine the inevitable mod adding a ton of new animals

Or what modders will jank that system to do

Or my inevitable mod to add a ton of new books and such to that new system. Or the mod that'll add a ton of basement variations. Or the insane possibilities for new map mods now that the grid is expanding

It's gonna be liiit

[serene bough]

yeah i’m happy they focused on overhauling a lot

[brittle oxide]

omg i was the same

[sinful geode]

We arrive yet again at the same issues we discussed last month > why would people still play b41 even with MP when there's 42 available, unstable but nonetheless, playable

you won't finish exploring and learning all the new stuff I guess before MP drops

[brittle oxide]

backrooms mod mayhaps....

[steel gulch]

We need a animal mod that’s the warg from rimworld

And it just insta kills you

[cursive fulcrum]

I actually misremembered, GTA 2 was my first, for which I did have a memory card

[brittle oxide]

sadge

it was also the same for gta 4, no memory card (dont ask me how lmao) and i always had to start that game from the beginning

the only good thing was that i had cheat sheets 😈

[leaden rapids]

This would be pretty counter productive tbh, to go back and fix bugs that have already been fixed within this new update, it would only take time from getting 42 finished and ready for the public really.
The Mp update for 42 shouldn't take nearly as much time to sort as it did with 41 either, Build 41 MP was basically a rebuild of MP, Build 42 MP will mainly be making sure everything works as it should before its released

[fleet ferry]

I'm so hyped for build 42 multiplayer! In a way I'm glad we'll all get some single player time to explore 42's nooks and crannies 🤩

[hushed prairie]

surely it's getting closer with each passing day

[sinful geode]

the MP update ?

[coarse python]

I’ll concede on bathroom parties but what about the apartment interiors in Louisville?

Been trying to do a scenario where I start out in an apartment and have to clear the building out, but like literally every apartment has 20 ish zombies in it just because of spawn density

I do think interior spawns could be improved for more realism

like my logic behind the most realistic zombie spawn would be to have essentially a story behind how the person ended up there when they turned

[hushed prairie]

i'd settle for at least b42 unstable before the end of the year

maybe it will even come at the end of november

inhales copium

[coarse python]

So some would be at work, leaving their house empty, my issue with the current spawn set is the zombie population outnumbers the amount the houses could support

[coarse python]

I would be happy if we get npcs before gta vi

[hushed prairie]

that is not happening lol

there's no way we'll get npcs in 2026

the most optimistic bet is 2028

[coarse python]

They do use the same system as animals so maybe a modder could make a rudimentary version

current npcs mods are too laggy

but I do like the feeling of the world not just being oriented around the sole survivor

[true venture]

I personally do, but maybe that's just me

[coarse python]

I mean the last man on earth vibe is cool

[true venture]

I adore the atmosphere of being the last one yet. Sometimes there's signs of life like a gunshot in the distance, but knowing that you are essentially alone is awesome

[coarse python]

but outside of multiplayer the end game is just a bit boring

[true venture]

Yeah. They seem to be working on that for B42

Much more to do around the base

[coarse python]

but I like the ability to choose between what flavor of apocalypse

[hushed prairie]

idk i dont even need the npcs in the game that much, I like the loneliness feel of zomboid in singleplayer, when b42 stable releases the game will be pretty much perfect for me already. but they'd definitely still be neat to have for sure if we'll be able to turn them off

[coarse python]

since npcs would enhance all the stages of the game I think

[true venture]

Absolutely agree

[coarse python]

It’s just become a little lackluster after a while towards the endgame for me

I just like the feeling of having different potentials for threats and potential allies

Also potentially more dynamic world depending on how NPCs establish based around

[hushed prairie]

most endgame boredom gets negated by playing with other ppl so I feel like npcs will just be like a simulation of mp for ppl who dont want to deal with all the annoying stuff that comes with mp but still feel lonely in sp (im one of those ppl)

[mental token]

I only made it past Downtown only once. And eventually, I got a game over anyway.

[coarse python]

I am excited to explore the bunkers tho

[hushed prairie]

im excited for performance improvements and for the map expansion the most

all the other stuff is great to have too tho

[coarse python]

Oh yeah also new muldraugh buildings

And lighting

[hushed prairie]

except for the new log cabin texture

yeah

[mental token]

I want to explore the new towns

[coarse python]

Tbh I wish they would have somewhat more realistic sun lighting to indicate time of day better

[mental token]

And I want to start a ranch

[sinful geode]

at least? what do you want more?

[coarse python]

Like with sunlight illuminating through windows after the power goes out

[sinful geode]

no

[mental token]

And I want to a nomad run living on the trail with tents and stuff.

[hushed prairie]

wdym "at least?" it's what they promised and it's what they have to deliver

[mental token]

Guys, remember. The devs have basically over a month to go from internal testing to Unstable. I think we'll be fine.

[sinful geode]

it's closed external testing if I recall

[sinful geode]

you said at least unstable b42 > what's more to be delivered? or what do you imply other than the build?

[hushed prairie]

i didnt say that I want more, I said that at least having it release before the promised deadline would be nice

[elder sandal]

They actively don't use the animal system. Might still provide enough for modders to improve what they have.

[finite glacier]

With dust sprinkles

[sinful geode]

It can be determined by checking the sun's position in search mode aka foraging window

[vapid zenith]

Yes tbh NPCs probably won't be my jam too much but they are obviously an important part of the games development

I'm more interested in the zombie threat than the human threat but I'm curious to see where it will go

[dull berry]

play multiplayer for the true npc experience <3

[vapid zenith]

I am interested if they go through with creating a story mode for Bob and Kate though

[dull berry]

havent heard those names in a long time...

[vapid zenith]

Recontextualizing the game from a sandbox to a campaign would be neat

[dull berry]

my priorities have changed so much since i started playing like i couldnt wait for npcs, now i play mp & do mapping & im zooming in whenever i see pics of the new maps lol

b42 unstable releasing without mp means i get to play modded mp on b41 a lil longer

[vapid zenith]

I suppose my main reservation is that creating compelling characters that are randomly generated hasn't really been done before, at least in my expierence

Therefor I'm more privy to prewritten characters in a campaign I guess

[dull berry]

ive played a few games with stuff like that but yeah its very fun, huge fan of it. im just not hyping human npcs at the moment cos it sounds like its a few yrs off honestly

[elder sandal]

We'll have both

[elder sandal]

As for this, I think randomized characters and decisions can definitely create a compelling "story" by themselves, just not something purposefully crafted.

It works really well in 4X games already.

[vapid zenith]

I see; I like the decision to have both

[near cave]

where is B42?

[elder sandal]

Getting milk

[near cave]

o.

[finite glacier]

I just played this, 2 hours but never got my rite of passage of smothering her. Somehow burned the house, killed myself lol

[vapid zenith]

I suppose the only kind of 4X game I've played is Civ which is less about a procedural story than a game like Crusader Kings

[sinful geode]

8 so far for this week

still counting

[sullen coral]

november is like 28 days later

[finite glacier]

wat

[sullen coral]

cuz the last thursday is on 28th

[finite glacier]

8 times i ask for macaroni art n clitter?!

[sinful geode]

8 ppl asked about the build

as of now

[hushed prairie]

hahahaha clitter

[finite glacier]

oh lol why punish yourself

clitter = cosmic glitter!!

[sinful geode]

boredom I guess

[hushed prairie]

its actually epic that they're adding the feature from common sense where you can break doors open with crowbars

i just noticed it at the beginning of one of the videos in the last thursdoid

[finite glacier]

where

[hushed prairie]

i just noticed it at the beginning of one of the videos in the last thursdoid

[finite glacier]

you think i can read!?

[hushed prairie]

the one with the creepy asylum

or whatever it is

[sullen coral]

isnt it coming with a minigame from better lockpicking?

[hushed prairie]

oh damn for real

[lean forge]

December 23rd is when the christmas holidays start.

[finite glacier]

i think thats amz removing a barricade lol

[hushed prairie]

i hope they'll let us mess with house alarms to turn them off too so that i dont have to use a mod for that

[sullen coral]

our last hope

[hushed prairie]

nah there was an animation of her breaking the door open and everything just like in the mod

[lean forge]

December 19th is our final dev blog

[finite glacier]

its right there

[hushed prairie]

the door opened if you look close

[finite glacier]

hold on please hold

[hushed prairie]

26th tho

[sullen coral]

and make house alarm as an item actually useful

[hushed prairie]

house alarms should stop working shortly after power goes out anyway

[lean forge]

Thursdoids in December are before the Christmas holidays.

[hushed prairie]

their batteries arent that powerful to keep them on for months

[hushed prairie]

oh right i forgot that catholics celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December

yeah then I hope we'll get it before December 19th

if not then 2025 it is ig

[sullen coral]

2026 stable release

[finite glacier]

ok according to my calculations when you place a barricade it places in the center so i think what were seeing is the centeer barricade and it being removed

[hushed prairie]

yeah but if you look later in the video doors have animations when you open them by hand now, but this one just opened in one frame, so I'm suspecting it might be some sort of WIP thing

[finite glacier]

[dull berry]

fun fact for the barricade on the left, its lopsided when theres alrdy 3-4 planks

[sullen coral]

there can be 4 planks?

[dull berry]

there can technically be 8 planks

[finite glacier]

yar i think its 4 on all isnt it?

[dull berry]

4 on each side

[finite glacier]

both sides

[lean forge]

I always barricade both sides of windows

[dull berry]

i barricade 2 on each side

[finite glacier]

i used to but i like light coming in , too scary

[dull berry]

cos i like to look out windows :)

[lean forge]

I never barricade my doors to my house

[hushed prairie]

idk im probably coping anyway, now that you pointed out that there were barricades over the doors it might actually be her just breaking off barricades and I'll still have to use the mod to open doors with crowbars, sadge

[dull berry]

i barricade back/side doors it hasnt come back to haunt me yet

[finite glacier]

well its still cool that there is animations for it

[lean forge]

with the new lighting system it will make barricading some what interesting.

[true venture]

I would love if base defence was more useful and necessary

Though admittedly I don't know how they could achieve that well

[sullen coral]

it will make the whole game more interesting

[dull berry]

not dying in ur sleep is useful & necessary

[lean forge]

I am glad that flashlights will be useful and perhaps having lamps on a pillar

[finite glacier]

well animals noises will attract zombers so maybe that will help stirring things u p

[hushed prairie]

lantern boy profession start in b42 confirmed

[lean forge]

having zombie spawns in rural areas become less of an issue.

[true venture]

Perhaps absolute packs of zomboids just roaming around

Massive hordes

When you see them you run, burn down the local area trying to kill them or hide in your base

[finite glacier]

as long as its not too annoying for people who dont use guns , that would suck lol

not ranch chicken chest

[sullen coral]

imagine waking up and going to the yard and just see a couple of zombies eating ur animals

[finite glacier]

id burn them all!!

[hushed prairie]

iirc they said that zomboids won't attack animals

[sullen coral]

it should be a sandbox setting

[true venture]

Thank god

I could not deal with that stress

[hushed prairie]

the dog goblin can still get them tho

[true venture]

If you ever left your base they'd be defenceless

[cursive fulcrum]

They won't attack animals ever

[sullen coral]

why tho

[true venture]

Thank you omnipotent devs 🙏

[true venture]

There'll be a mod for it

[sullen coral]

i guess so

[finite glacier]

i dont think wed ever see them lol

[cursive fulcrum]

Not against it being a sandbox feature, not in yet though if it's planned

[sullen coral]

oh

[hushed prairie]

do you know if we'll be able to open locked doors with crowbars in b42 or not

[cursive fulcrum]

Don't think so

[hushed prairie]

damn

ok

[cursive fulcrum]

Sorry. Go in through the window

[true venture]

Everyone was talking about that in the last thursdoid. Still not sure why

[hushed prairie]

false alarm

[sullen coral]

classic

[true venture]

I mean it'd be cool obviously but still

[hushed prairie]

ill just keep using the common sense mod then

hopefully the guy who made it is still alive to update it

[finite glacier]

i usually just go through window if there is barricade even if i have the tools cause im impatient

[sullen coral]

finding a sledgehammer on the first day

[finite glacier]

that makes mse so mad lol , happened the other night loaded into a map mod and found one and just got irritated i found it so early in such a random spot lol just ran away from the building

how i gonna find sledge hammer before gen mag

[sullen coral]

i found one in the rosewood fire department in the first 2 ingame hours

[finite glacier]

lmao

[sullen coral]

i was thinking about drinking bleach irl

[finite glacier]

😆

"how dare you find this early"

[sullen coral]

i got bitten btw

on the 4th day

[finite glacier]

yah same lol not even like 30 mins later

pz turns us into masochists i swear!

[sullen coral]

finding an incredibly rare item and losing it right after

[coarse python]

But I mean just like better lighting would be nice

Since the vibe I get from the regular lighting is that every day feels cloudy

But I guess that could also be a part of the sims 1 vibe they were going for

[vapid zenith]

Better lighting is on its way. I'm very excited for orange street lamps for some reason lol

[serene bough]

chill lol def not

[vapid zenith]

There is a potential it could take that long

But hopefully I think lessons were learned to alleviate content drought in that period

That's the vibe I keep getting from the statements in the blogs anyway

[frigid sapphire]

The true future of PZ is monthly paid DLC

The dream 😍

[finite glacier]

lmao nooo

make it a mmo lol

[fluid trench]

battlepass

[versed kestrel]

🤮

[finite glacier]

ready player one mmo

[frigid sapphire]

A big fan of the vomiting DLC, I see. Only $19.99!

[finite glacier]

LOL

with colors!! and buffs

[frigid sapphire]

What a steal!

[versed kestrel]

If I recall correctly they are working on tech that will allow server clusters to host PZ servers so in essence that is what is happening

[finite glacier]

i have no ide awhat you said, one more time like im 5

cause im mentally 2

[frigid sapphire]

Where was that said, if you remember? Idk if I've seen that but it sounds neat

[finite glacier]

use pictures

[versed kestrel]

I am pretty sure it was an NME article around when B41 launched

[versed kestrel]

😆 multiple servers hosting one zomboid so when you pass from one area to another in essence you are being moved from one server to another

Sharing the load of players

[vapid zenith]

4th dimensional zomboid

[finite glacier]

wait like you can have cherburger on one server?

the map mods

[versed kestrel]

Yea

[finite glacier]

oh thats cool!

[versed kestrel]

And then like LV would be another ect

[versed kestrel]

https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/project-zomboid-development-is-taking-a-lot-of-cues-from-gta-rp-3147040

so might not be "being worked on" but it is something they would very much like to do in the future

[vapid zenith]

Now that is interesting

I never thought about putting servers together

[versed kestrel]

yea I'd love if they did

even if I am not running massive servers myself having that as an option would still be really cool

[frigid sapphire]

I've thought of stuff like that but always imagined it to be done via a “subway station” type of fade-to-black transition in a complex mod. Cool to see it even considered for vanilla

[versed kestrel]

subway station style would be neat as well

with this way of doing it would be funny if you were on a massive server, driving really quick and just slam into the server wall message pops up "server full"

[serene bough]

aren’t they working on it alongside every build

[vapid zenith]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[serene bough]

either way saying it will come out in 4 whole years optimistically def not

[long dew]

I think windows with 3 or maybe even 4 planks should be able to be seen through if you are standing right up against them

like peeking through the gaps between the planks

[serene bough]

i’d ask for curtains to be peeked through first

[signal sparrow]

peeking through curtains or barricades sounds too complex. I think the community would prefer hidden cameras in Spiffo plushies or a CCTV control room in our basements instead

[finite glacier]

bruh lol

[finite glacier]

lol

"got that b42?"

[signal sparrow]

lol
TIGS: closes peep window

[vapid zenith]

No I like the unfounded confidence pz characters have when slamming doors shut or fully opening the curtains

It's do or die for them

[west galleon]

add adrenaline system so panic counters tiredness

[sinful geode]

panic doesn't counter tiredness

not in IRL

can't counter tiredness with adrenaline it acts differently than people believe. After the fight or flight choice the adrenaline receptors desensitize so no more stimuli can trigger the same response also the adrenaline is metabolized and the after effect is increased fatigue

[harsh marsh]

I dunno if you've ever been really tired, like 2+ days awake tired, but it's worse than being drunk

your body eventually does stop bothering to send "close your eyes" signals to you but you just get a splitting headache instead and your ability to do things is as impaired as having been on a bender

[sinful geode]

I have

I have my own on-calls that keep me up at night and I had a 24h marathon recently

[sinful geode]

I am curious to see how the server layering will work

[sinful geode]

that's a whole different aspect, not the same with knowing the sun's position

I agree the lightning needs more love and it got some in b42 and it will receive more attention as development moves forward there's always room to improve but as of now it's good it's better than what we have in b41 currently

[sinful geode]

eating through your cabbages and cheese

[versed kestrel]

me too, it seems like it could be really cool if done well

[sinful geode]

you know Blizzard had issues

with this particular situation

[burnt bronze]

The part about the receptors becoming tolerant is on point but that doesnt mean it doesnt work the first time. In the context of a video game id say it would be fair to give the player 2 adrenline driven "safety net" pips that will negate any negative moodles for a very short time if triggered by a close call. However, once the boost wears off your body is gonna be wrecked, amplifying negative moodles and potentially adding new ones. Better get home and rest quick

[sinful geode]

It work the first time but it will add even more fatigue after the adrenaline and noradrenaline are metabolized bc it's like pushing a beaten horse uphill after the first few bouts of energy it will fall to the ground

[burnt bronze]

Exactly

Fair trade off for a life saving momentary boost

[sinful geode]

but this needs to be tied to more in depth medical overhaul

[burnt bronze]

100%

[sinful geode]

bc if this happens to an obese person with unknown underlying heart condition it can lead to cardiac arrest or infarction

and seeing you can become obese in game, well it need more fine tuning in this matter

[sinful geode]

This is what I'm trying to say that it's not life saving if you pass out from the adrenaline shock

[burnt bronze]

Well it is if you can get to safety before then, but yeah i mean youd have to be unfit obviously for that to happen

[sinful geode]

or overweight bc +kg impacts health and overall performance

character weight should have more impact on the overall health besides the usual negatives it brings as of now

[burnt bronze]

Also lets not forget sometimes you gotta omit sone elements of realism to retain fun/balance as long as it doesnt destroy the concept

[sinful geode]

well I believe they have been neglected a long time like wound infections

[burnt bronze]

Very true

Though i gotta admit, if im gonna play an unfit, obese character, there will be no expectation of survival anyway 😅

[sinful geode]

if you don't run a mod, the negative is pointless overall no impact

[sinful geode]

of course

it's like IRL

survival of the fittest

always the strong survive

[sinful geode]

If

and that's a big IF, it was for Blizzard way back like 8-10 years ago

when they had trouble with realms desyncing and players dropping out of raids and groups only to reload in a different realm....

[burnt bronze]

Nights time does seem a lot more interesting and visually attractive than daytime in the latest clips

Gotta wonder if the depth buffer sorcery could open the door to daylight shadows

Be pretty cool if buildings casted shadows, especially if there were hot/cold activity or sensitivity settings for zeds. Set em to hate the heat and watch em huddle into alleyways if they cant get indoors on a hot day. Plus itd give you that innate sense of the time of day.

[versed kestrel]

tbh I have more faith in TIGS to do things right than I have had in Blizzard in MANY years so

[limpid cosmos]

i'd like for your characters eyes to adjust to the darkness just a bit

The best base defense is simply removing all zombies around your base

[fluid trench]

the best base defence is using lava around your base to make a death barrier

[marsh wigeon]

You could also set zombie population to None

[signal sparrow]

the best base defence is to keep your fences, not sure why you’d de-fence the area around your base in the first place

[true venture]

The ultimate zombie defense is not opening the game

How on earth would they get you

[sinful geode]

it is necessary kek, turn on respawns 4x and some helicopter events

add some bandits while you're at it

i was skimming and thought u were suggesting to eat the zombie population

bite the zombies back

In my experience the best base defense is doing the occasional patrol to clear out zambies

[steel gulch]

Will the castle be used in a map area in b42?

Right now it’s out in a really far grass area

[serene bough]

I forgot

[serene bough]

think it’s a fort

Speaking of the animal system, did the build 42 testers ever tried engaging with the animals and actually just follow the animals around, before expressing their opinions?

[hushed prairie]

had a dream that it's gonna come out on Nov 21st

maybe it's a prophecy

naah

[hidden talon]

Nahhh, in your dreams

[upper jasper]

b42 will only come out once people start believing in it hard enough

[versed kestrel]

turns out that B42 is an age restriction: must Be 42 or older

[novel plinth]

I really couldn’t believe it when I heard it from spiffo himself it’s a real shame they’re moving to an older demographic

[rigid grove]

If you go to bed after thinking about build 42 all day, there is a chance you will get to play it in your dreams

imagine the day build 42 finally releases and content creators start making some interesting videos

being able to find some cute animals

People call it TIGS here

I've only heard the indie stone, never the indie game store

[finite glacier]

I forget what tigs is reference to lol @versed kestrel where

Didnt someone say it?

[versed kestrel]

There was a thread from a few months ago where someone was mad that they weren't making the game fast enough

they accidently called it the indie game store so we kind of rolled with it

and kept calling it that

[finite glacier]

Lmao oh a waverly inhabitant?

[versed kestrel]

indeed 😄

[finite glacier]

No meanies allowed

[sacred turret]

will they run away from zombies?

[versed kestrel]

last I heard that was the case, they will run

[finite glacier]

Nooo!!! My chicken!

i hope theres actual hordes in b42

[signal sparrow]

hordes? Nah. Last thing PZ needs are zombies. The real question: when is TIGS adding the Xenomorph pen holder?

[finite glacier]

hell yeah lmao

[versed kestrel]

I need this

How about long eard fluffers

I shall hire a mod creator to make every animal in existance FOREVER

Do animals have a hitbox ie how careful do I need to be in case of a zed invasion, with a shotgun and/or melee weapons?

I'll rephrase a bit: yes, we can hunt animals in the wild, but the domesticated ones.

[cursive fulcrum]

Better aim carefully!

Now that first aid revamp would be highly cool...Vetenarian skill may become needed when your Princess the Prize Pig has gunshot wounds in it

[cursive fulcrum]

They're calling it bullet bacon, the hot new trend

[drowsy relic]

I'll call it Kentuckian Alchemy when I turn a pig into swiss cheese

[signal sparrow]

shooting an NPC, a player, an animal, and a zombie all with one shotgun bullet one day

[drowsy relic]

and ricochet from an angled surface to hit your neck for a royal flush

[sullen coral]

this is how you died

[polar venture]

this is how you died

[dull gazelle]

The sanatorium shown in the thursdoid was cool and all but why would we want to go there? Is there anything to loot?

[drowsy relic]

medical supplies? cool roleplaying stuff? I mean its just added for sake of content and explorable locations, don't think every added location is going to be some loot pinata extraordinaire

[dull gazelle]

It looks abandoned. I doubt there's medical things to loot

[drowsy relic]

maybe it is abandoned, I don't know how the real life equivalent works or used to work...its not uncommon for abandoned places to be abandoned with stuff left to rot if they're cheap mass produced stuff not worth clearing

[cursive fulcrum]

Cool big empty base

[drowsy relic]

dont know how deep in the forest it is but sounds like a good location to enjoy some wilderness life...I'd board and wall up some sections myself, I don't like too open spaces, unless it has some really big halls for crowd control

[mossy root]

It's a big cool ass abandoned motherfuckin building

Loved those as a kid

Go inside, cut yourself on a rusty rebar

Get tetanus

Enjoy life for once smh

[finite glacier]

Lol oh noo !! Never thought about accidently sending my pets into the nether realm by accidently clocking them

[drowsy relic]

I was also curious if on a pvp server you can do spiteful things to other players, denying them animal based products....

[finite glacier]

lmao id cry

[versed kestrel]

Sneak in and steal their cow

[drowsy relic]

the day we can domesticate geese, is the day humanity starts fighting back to reclaim Kentucky

[finite glacier]

lmao

[leaden rapids]

Because its haunted 👻

[lean forge]

imagine turning the sanatorium into a base

[finite glacier]

thats where the banned people go

[lean forge]

mentally insane zombies

[finite glacier]

omg it would be fun to play with that horror mod where the zombie heads twitch lol

[finite glacier]

whos missing?!

[fluid trench]

project milkdoid

[finite glacier]

was that the firs tmissing person from knox

the first ever zomber!!!

[night pagoda]

if zombie pop is relatively low, you could base up in the attic and be mostly free from zombies until your next loot run

[lean forge]

I would love to see that abandoned buildings with nothings inside become a base

[fluid trench]

it's 11/11/2011 today

[toxic spruce]

pissing

[lean forge]

lol

[signal sparrow]

maybe there’s lore there such as the first individuals contracting Knox being sent there (unlikely) or there could be an annotated map that’ll lead us to the sanatorium or it’ll be the only place to find straitjacket Spiffo

if not, at least there will be plenty of items to dismantle with relative safety

[dull gazelle]

I'm probably going there just to loot those old office lamps

[lean forge]

zombie wearing a straight jacket would be funny but if that were the case it wont be able to scratch the player

its weird enough when zombes can scratch the player despite wearing gloves lol

[vapid zenith]

The gloves have very specifically placed holes, obviously

[lean forge]

zombies wearing masks that cover their mouths and magically getting bitten.

[vapid zenith]

They all leveled their tailoring to 10 before getting eaten alive

[serene bough]

how’s the server going

[versed kestrel]

so far so good get like 5-8 players generally

the noobs that didn't rage seemed to be enjoying it

[signal sparrow]

how many “when B42?”

[versed kestrel]

🤣

"Why is the build menu different than the craft menu" "I don't know, it IS annoying and I hope it is fixed in B42"

that was the latest

[signal sparrow]

“what’s up with my dog?”

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-dog-zomboid-suspicious-gif-10712400350108666363

[finite glacier]

I never use the crafting menu lol

[versed kestrel]

[lunar tangle]

legendary clip

[signal sparrow]

[finite glacier]

Frogski and his dag

[proud seal]

I just realized with animals

Some modder is 100% adding a zoo to the world

there is actually one in Louisville

You could have a game trying to save all the animals :v

or eat them all

[signal sparrow]

after saving all the animals, our characters can house them at the Ark Encounter, which is a full size replica of Noah's Spiffo’s Ark in Northern KY

[proud seal]

oh thatd be a great map mod idea

[finite glacier]

I wanna save them!

Only those with friendship bracelet get admissions

[proud seal]

You can see the location of the zoo to the east wheres my fucking airport lemmy

and a map of Louisville in Zomboid

It could actually slot in pretty well northeast of the park

[versed kestrel]

Shared map mod is amazing and I am hoping it gets added to the base game eventually

[signal sparrow]

perhaps a map bulletin board that players can all add to

[versed kestrel]

last time we played shared annotation mod was all we could get and it works kinda like that but wasn't great for helping noobs out

but I do like that idea

[finite glacier]

Id draw some lovely symbols

[versed kestrel]

[signal sparrow]

write in code so enemy factions/players don’t know where your safe house is located

[versed kestrel]

🐸

[cedar gyro]

it would be handy if player survivors dropped annotated maps of whatever they had marked on their own map, and in order to get back their map markings (on the apocalypse setting for the scenarios or something) back they need to retrieve them from their body like you do with non-player survivor zombies

[finite glacier]

Draw the cool s

[cedar gyro]

maybe not all the markings, maybe just from the place they died in

like if they died in rosewood, they'd drop the rosewood annotated map

[signal sparrow]

lol you mean the one with the six lines and connecting them and all?

or four lines? I forget. It’s been years since I drew one of those

[finite glacier]

Yah lol

[versed kestrel]

On the hardcore server I used to play on, I hid a on the map somewhere

[signal sparrow]

lol penisham hunt

anybody find it?

[versed kestrel]

not that I know of lol

atleast no one said anything about it, so maybe they did but they kept it a secret penisham

So this server I made cars very very rare, cause I usually get pretty lucky, but we have had no luck at all

I have been all over Muldraugh and found exactly two working ones in TERRIBLE condition

I just walked all the way to the trainyard and there is not a single car lol

found one at the lumberyard but no keys, still trying to get the mechanic skill up

[finite glacier]

Lol

[signal sparrow]

get one of those wrecked cars, attach some rope to your friends, and have them take you around Knox Country as if you were in a chariot

[finite glacier]

Penisham hunt lol

[finite glacier]

I finally found a car after 13 days lol, love that hope we get more vehicle condition optiona in 42

[sinful geode]

Yo! Chillout next time

[sinful geode]

very nice :p CommieSalami? the reunion of the former soviet ussr?

[signal sparrow]

“look at my Spiffo plush!”
“you mean our Spiffo plush?”

[sinful geode]

Save the guys some slack and also install Players On Map

it will show the player's location also on minimap

another great mod for MP

[sinful geode]

and actually it's the state-party's Spiffo

[sinful geode]

R3sp3ct

[versed kestrel]

😂

[versed kestrel]

so good I really like the not having a car cause it has allowed people to get more comfy with combat, soon they will have to get used to us bailing from a car and fighting

[versed kestrel]

Using this one already! So good 😄

[versed kestrel]

Yes I enjoy spending my time with CCCP Deli meats

[finite glacier]

Yah really makes you be more choosy with loot too lol and no weight issues

[versed kestrel]

totally!

[sinful geode]

Those 2 mods should become in-game features

for MP

[versed kestrel]

it's silly that the "show players on map" feature built in doesn't show on minimap

[sinful geode]

no, you need a separate mod for that....silly

[versed kestrel]

I started telling them to put good loot into garbage bags and throw them on the road and we will go pick em up when we get a good car

[finite glacier]

I love how when you zoom in while in a car ur char is just sitting lol

[finite glacier]

Lmao yah i had to do that and go back and get my shit pile

[sinful geode]

yeah this is how I also work , gathering loot and stacking it up in piles in front of the houses to be picked up later

"work"

[finite glacier]

Don't know what Lemmy has to do with your missin airport, it's not like he designed the map by himself

[proud seal]

That's how you know it's... a joke

stale to say the least
