WhatZ Next

[obtuse wasp]

whoever did it should get a big christmas bonus, that was fun to discover

the si2 branch also has a good name

[wide jungle]

Release b42 for the masses and they'll get their christmas bonus alright, just wait for the PZ youtubers

[edgy notch]

I mean, to be fair, naming things is hard

[obtuse wasp]

yeah, helldivers learned that steamdb exists the other day, when they leaked stuff with their branch names

now they are also doing troll names

[orchid eagle]

lol

[broken trench]

who that

[orchid wolf]

That’s real?

I swear that hasn’t been updated in years

[edgy notch]

the amount of "IWBUMS" references I see from other development teams - makes me very happy.

it's new, and real.

[obtuse wasp]

that branch is new, it didnt exist before

dont take it as a sign, please

[orchid wolf]

Oh wow

[obtuse wasp]

i just wanted to point at the funny name

[edgy notch]

it's likely a new branch to integrate testing new things - or, knowing TIS - made to literally fuck with you.

[orchid eagle]

its where our souls go

[orchid wolf]

Still cool

[obtuse wasp]

they are using steams branches for version sharing, so they are always in movement

[stable bison]

I am a professional dungeon master, every day that passes without B42 from here, I will kill a beloved player character pet or NPC.

[orchid wolf]

There was another branch with that name yesterday that was last edited years ago

[wide jungle]

TIS can IWBUM me any day if I can just play b42

[obtuse wasp]

so updates on them arent that indicative of a release happening

[edgy notch]

heyoooo

[obtuse wasp]

theres a few different branches

[edgy notch]

majority of them have been there for awhile

[orchid wolf]

Yeah

[quartz plume]

these are updated constantly and automatically, if you try to find patterns you'll drive yourself mad (but that seems to be the mission statement of this channel anyway)

[edgy notch]

awhile = years

[obtuse wasp]

i mean, except nightly they arent really on a scheudle

[edgy notch]

I mean it is, WhatZ Next

[obtuse wasp]

they just use it to push test builds from the looks of it internally

[orchid wolf]

I feel like with so many branches it would be confusing after a while

[obtuse wasp]

but the builds history is wild

[edgy notch]

I do remember the steamdecktest days

[obtuse wasp]

lotta tinkering going on

[edgy notch]

I mean, merging code can be mindbendingly rough.... lol

[obtuse wasp]

fun is something else, that much i know

[edgy notch]

first like, idk, 4-5 expansions of WoW... they didn't merge code until release day.

[orchid wolf]

Sounds like a nightmare

[obtuse wasp]

yep, thats the blizzard i know

and now nobody knows what the code actually does, because the teams got too much turn over

[edgy notch]

self documenting code is great

iykyk

lol

[obtuse wasp]

but coding in a way that makes your future you go "the heck have i been doing, what does this do?" is also fun

[orchid wolf]

I feel that so much

[edgy notch]

lol

[deep wing]

3gb update for PZ?? is it here??

[orchid wolf]

Nuh uh

[wide jungle]

Is this update in the same room with us now?

[obtuse wasp]

you probably should clean up your mod list if you gotta download that much

[edgy notch]

b42 - RIP mods

[obtuse wasp]

eh, they'll be fine

[edgy notch]

for sure, memeing

[obtuse wasp]

kinda still flirting with the idea of a modern hydrocraft for b42

[orchid wolf]

I can’t wait to see raven creek in b42 if the mod dev ever decides to update it

[obtuse wasp]

just imagine the possibilities with the new crafting system

[edgy notch]

David Blane, he will likely update it

a lot of map makers are waiting for new tools to do it

[warm tendon]

where can you see this stuff?

[obtuse wasp]

I'm flirting with the idea of gregifying my zomboid

[orchid wolf]

Steamdb

[edgy notch]

steamdb

[obtuse wasp]

it would be absolutely painful, but man could it be fun

[warm tendon]

oh okay I thought you can just access some open source repository or something lol

[obtuse wasp]

i mean, steamdb is exactly that

https://steamdb.info/app/108600/depots/

[warm tendon]

thanks, time to go satisfy my hunger with anything about zomboid

[edgy notch]

lol

[obtuse wasp]

but the branches are password protected (duh) so you aint seeing much, lol

Me at 5am, wondering when B42 will come out

[edgy notch]

in 5 minutes

[tawdry gull]

damn, i wouldnt be against it

[wide jungle]

just organize the entirety of this Discord to guess the branch passwords to access forbidden data

[tawdry gull]

Truee

great idea

[stable bison]

I know it, it's 12345.

[tawdry gull]

nah nah nah its 12345789

they try to trick you with the missing number

[wide jungle]

gotta be "telecorn", the holiest grail

[tawdry gull]

well we better start trying

[latent mulch]

I wonder what SI means

si2siharder seems to be their main build

[snow nimbus]

Flux! ❤️

[late jackal]

What's "si"?

[orchid wolf]

Spanish

[snow nimbus]

Internal build

[late jackal]

And why does "si" seem to have a second branch with "si2siharder"?

[latent mulch]

only thing I could find it could be is system integration

[edgy notch]

system integration is all I can think of

[latent mulch]

maybe it's their build where they integrate everyting?

[obtuse wasp]

am i getting old

[latent mulch]

and test it all out

[snow nimbus]

Si is their main internal dev build, si2siharder is probably a test branch

[late jackal]

Nice

[snow nimbus]

They have been using si for years though

[obtuse wasp]

"si2siharder" is a reference to die hard 2, die harder

[stable bison]

The next one should be si3siharderwithavengeance then

[native bronze]

good one

[stable bison]

On a more serious note, they could be attempting to make something not obvious as the release version. After all "Releasegame" would be super obvious and cause a maelstrom here if it was there. "si" could stand for Steam Iteration or something along those lines.

[latent mulch]

STEAMITERATION YESS

[obtuse wasp]

do not read into it

[latent mulch]

TOO LATE

[obtuse wasp]

its just a branch name

[latent mulch]

IT DEFINELLY IS STEAMITERATION

[orchid wolf]

How much more schizophrenic can we all get

[obtuse wasp]

both si and si2 are just dev branches, like all the others too

[stable bison]

Could also be: "Store Insert," "Smile, Idiots," "Suck-it, Imbeciles"

[obtuse wasp]

by standard practice the "nightly" would be the current playable builds branch for the internal testers

its just standard version control there aint a lot to it

Helldivers uses the steam branches in the exact same way

[stable bison]

Wouldn't "nightly" just be the end of day version when they go home?

[obtuse wasp]

its a scheduled build, unlike the others

[latent storm]

I enjoy coming back here every so often to see the schizophrenia keep festering

[obtuse wasp]

giving them secret knowledge just made it worse

[old needle]

Everyone here is just apart of the social experiment, they wanna see how far we will go to anticipate an update that doesn't exist

[covert loom]

Build 42 or game awards which one is more exciting?

[latent storm]

[snow nimbus]

I love community

Such a good show

[stable bison]

I mean I'm not a game developer, but wouldn't it make sense to release it today? Gives them tomorrow before the weekend to perform any emergency patches, and then an entire week before Christmas to do any slighty-less-emergency patches. Then they could take a week off for the people playing the build to find more things, and then come back after the holidays to make it stable.

[native bronze]

who is the professor duncan in TIS? you monster

[latent storm]

I'm sure there's more behind the scenes than meets the eye, so we'll just have to be patient

[stable bison]

Sure, sure, or I can keep sacrificing people to Nergal until they release it.

[latent storm]

Of course of course

only reason B42 is not out yet is due to the difficulty of coding in the Huge/Mega Spiffo with an encumbrance of 10. Soon we’ll be able to stuff them in our vehicles like this

[stable bison]

Yeah, a bit, but mostly I just don't want any more Player Characters in my campaigns to die or their beloved companions. After all, as a dungeon master, I've vowed to kill the most beloved of my player characters' pets and friends until B42 is out. The Indie Stone is just getting more and more blood on their hands.

[native bronze]

me seeing TIS update the locked branches on steamdb

[orchid wolf]

The ciphers posted by Nasko on December 9th are not arbitrary; they are intricately designed as part of a larger, calculated strategy orchestrated by John Zomboid. Every element, including the developers’ names, holds significance—likely embedded with coded messages. These distractions are deliberate, directing our attention away from a deeper truth that John Zomboid is orchestrating behind the scenes. It is essential that we remain vigilant, as the surface details only reveal a fraction of the complex scheme at play.

But those ciphers are crucial. Their design suggests a deliberate pattern, pointing to a deeper purpose. John Zomboid, along with Pat, is playing a game of mental chess, crafting cryptic clues to guide us. Both are orchestrating a complex web, drawing us in while obscuring the true meaning. Build 42 isn’t just an update; it’s a puzzle we haven’t yet fully grasped, crafted by John Zomboid and Pat to keep us on edge.

So, until Build 42 drops, don’t eat. Don’t drink. Stay alert. We can’t afford to be distracted by anything trivial, not until we finally get the answers we’ve been searching for.

We got Greece DLC before build 42

[mortal kernel]

creepy shit man

[stable bison]

Stable or unstable?

[mortal kernel]

beta

unstable, yes

[covert loom]

Unstable beta is going to be the best thing of 2024 if it happens

[stable bison]

I mean, 2024 has been underwhelming at best for pretty much everything, so that's a low bar.

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[proper dirge]

You know I just realized something. If the map beyond the original map is gonna be generated, does that mean someone, somewhere is going to make the entirety of North america one day?

[mortal kernel]

• Canada and Greenland

[pallid onyx]

Oh

[proper dirge]

I just got that idea from a reddit post from the PZ subreddit

[karmic glade]

Project North America

[covert loom]

Project zomboid in multiple states

[covert loom]

Infection free zone sounds like a better game

[mortal kernel]

maybe a map mod one day

[covert loom]

Lol that ad on Reddit

[edgy notch]

Infection Free Zone is pretty good, I like it anyway. It's better then when I first got it. IMHO, heading in the right direction. Procedurally generated Zomboid would be insane.

choose location, generate the things

[covert loom]

Project canada

[stable bison]

Infection Free Zone is fun, but it's not the same thing as Zomboid, in terms of style of play or even intensity.

[proper dirge]

Yeah but that shit might be in singleplayer, of which you need LITERAL terabytes or more to load all that. God knows what might happen on multiplayer.

[fleet flame]

Ye infection free zone is great but you'd be insane to compare it to PZ, 2 entirely different games

[pallid onyx]

"And this is how he died.."

[fleet flame]

Anomaly DLC?

[edgy notch]

yeah the level of colony management in IFZ is low, but they've made it better and better

[earnest stirrup]

My dream for PZ

A modder that use the future animZed to make a Lovecraftian mod where cultists (bandits) and some cosmic horrors are added among zombies.

Yes don't make sense but I would love it 😄

[snow nimbus]

I have always wanted to create my home town in PZ, I am hoping the new tools come out so I can kind of make that happen

[earnest stirrup]

Will be released another tool alongside animzed to make maps?

[native bronze]

animzed is for the new grapple system?

[earnest stirrup]

Animations and models in generals

When TIS presented it they said you could use it to introduce Xenomorph in game 😁

Just to explain how it could be powerfull

On modding side

Should be released soon, with 42, but is not clear if with stable or unstable

I fear it will follow the stable

[native bronze]

oh cool. never done animation stuff in detail so I assumed there was a system for this already with so many b41 mods

[snow nimbus]

major updates to either TilZed tools or new ones that are better

[earnest stirrup]

Nice

[earnest stirrup]

Yes people use blender I think, but I know nothing in regards.

If you are interested there is a channel in this discord

[native bronze]

not for myself, but thanks

[earnest stirrup]

Would be epic if it would include a way to randomly place it out of vanilla perimeter, where random wild generation take place

This would solve all mod map compatibility issues

[snow nimbus]

pretty sure that is going to be apart of it, maybe not at unstable launch but that is the plan

[earnest stirrup]

Very nice 🙂

[native bronze]

speaking of map changes. anyone else looking to live at the abandoned orphanage?

[earnest stirrup]

Yeah should be added with 42, but they didn't show it yet right?

[native bronze]

there is a pic but I forgot from which blog

[earnest stirrup]

[earnest stirrup]

Ah yeah

[fleet flame]

Ah yes, the graveyard, the classic, every orphanage has got em

[earnest stirrup]

It seems an isolated place, so with the new changes probably low zombie population

[fleet flame]

Nah, it's just every zombie has crammed into the bathrooms, waiting for you there

[native bronze]

*ahem * Ayrton’s spooky abandoned orphanage in a forest

[earnest stirrup]

[earnest stirrup]

If I recall well is an abandoned orphange

[native bronze]

I don't even know where to find it

[native bronze]

comes pre-barricaded!

[late jackal]

Yeah, it makes for a good, wide base. Only issue might be the road maintenance. Could make it difficult to get to town? We don't even know how far it is from town.

[latent mulch]

hmmmm yess

hard to say

[native bronze]

I just noticed the metal fence around too

[earnest stirrup]

That's nice...

With the new update you will need to clean the are dayly

[snow nimbus]

Found it

https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2023/12/zleigh-ride/

[earnest stirrup]

Ordes Will break fences

[late jackal]

Yeah, got really secure Brock walls all around, save for a small metal fence.

[earnest stirrup]

Thank you, I will read !🙂

[snow nimbus]

❤️

[late jackal]

I guess another issue is that you'll have to build more fences to secure more green space. But on the plus side, you've got more than enough trees to chop down

[native bronze]

I was talking about the fence on the forest

so it is actually a double layer of fences

[covert ibex]

optional feature

personally that should never come into play at your base and if it does you already had bigger problems

[broken trench]

Tbh it would be cool if there was a way for hordes to be attracted to your base randomly

The only way I could think of it would be tweaking how memory works or roaming hordes

[native bronze]

are you suggesting that coconutszomboids migrate?

[broken trench]

It would get old very quickly

But yes

[fleet flame]

No I'm suggesting there be a small chance for a house alarm to magically materialise in your base while you're sleeping

[quartz plume]

in my experience this is basically how smoke alarms work anyway

[native bronze]

[earnest stirrup]

Amazing so it's confirmed 👍

[snow nimbus]

Yeeee

[fleet flame]

The smoke alarm goes off after it detected you microwaving popcorn and draws every zombie to your houses, seems about right

[tawny quarry]

i just realised the blog's picture is actually in the same house i have my current run in

[fleet flame]

Yeah you get to a point where you feel so addicted that you can just somehow recognize some random ass house

[tawny quarry]

1745 hours will do that to you

[orchid eagle]

ill have you know , i can remember which house from that can on the ground and david the gnome from crust street!

[snow nimbus]

That is awesome 😄

[mortal kernel]

so curious if you will be able to spawn the vanilla map with just maybe 1-2 towns with this new feature

[pulsar tinsel]

Fun fact: assuming b42 is 90% complete would still mean over 3 and a half months to get to 100%

[mortal kernel]

apart from the random wilderness generated map itself

[tawny quarry]

without the bug fixes

release would probably take 5 months

[indigo bane]

i can wait multiplayer 10 years

i just want to do things with sheep and rabbits

[earnest stirrup]

That sounds weird 😁

[broken trench]

Fr

I NEED food preservation

[earnest stirrup]

This is another interesting place.

It is not probably good for base, if it have only one entrance than you are f..... With an orde outside.

But it seems a secret place where experiment was conduced to find a cure before all exploded, or something more like "day of the dead".

With all the new lore stuff Pat did, could be an intriguing place to find some info about the infection nature or cause.

https://youtu.be/m3Tzna-nAM8?si=hngJkxa1bfhcHvsi

[fleet flame]

Likely won't find a definitive answer about what caused it. Since it seems like they'd probably keep it a mystery

[earnest stirrup]

Yeah

[limber idol]

Speaking of lore, did anyone else notice the ID card in the guys inventory in the Hollodoid video covering ads and stuff?

[earnest stirrup]

Also if I saw a crazy video where a YouTube find a possible answer, linked to a specific VHS you find in game.

Will check!

[fleet flame]

I don't think that's lore, it's just some guys drivers license

[limber idol]

Just seems a bit odd to design and tease just for random junk

[indigo bane]

Please let's stop talking about the update, it gets me more excited, let's talk about cats

[latent mulch]

still really good to have

[fleet flame]

Meh, random junk adds more to the world. It's cool to find random shit on zombies

[snow nimbus]

maybe not directly, but I am sure someone will mod this - I know there are already mods for JUST certain areas of the map

[latent mulch]

cats in zomboid when?

[fleet flame]

Even if it isn't useful

[indigo bane]

uhhhhhhhhhhh

[snow nimbus]

like the mod that is just Mauldraugh

[limber idol]

Go to a different channel

[fleet flame]

Cause how the hell is an ID gonna be useful during the apocalypse

[indigo bane]

just joking buddy @limber idol

[fleet flame]

I don't think the zombies are pulling you over for speeding

[limber idol]

Security card for the secret base?

Auto scanners and stuff

[snow nimbus]

2/3 cats

the boys

[fleet flame]

Could be, but this just seems like just a driver's license

[limber idol]

We'll find out soon enough

[latent mulch]

collection maybe

[snow nimbus]

3/3 cat puddle

[fleet flame]

Collect zombies IDs so they have to take time out of their day to go get a new one, makes sense

[native bronze]

have a mod generate zombies with your last name. You get panicked when you collect their IDs

[limber idol]

Dude if Indiestone knows my incredibly rare last name I'd flip

[fleet flame]

Lmao imagine having the last name Smith and being super panicked that some guy has the same generic last name as you

[fleet flame]

Wouldn't get mine, nobody can pronounce mine

[native bronze]

I meant the character's lol

[limber idol]

Polish?

[fleet flame]

Nah, Greek

[limber idol]

[open vessel]

hope we can find a zed with the extremely rare John Zomboid ID card

[fleet flame]

You won't find it because John Zomboid never dies

[twin locust]

I know, I have made maps with them

but I want the new tools

before I continue working on anything

[old flint]

You could work on a map and then when tools come out continue as normal. Not much will really change as far as we know

New tools will be neat though.

[limber idol]

New and improved tiles would be added

[snow nimbus]

a lot of my ideas utilize the new stuff

like being able to make things bigger than 7 floors+roof

[old flint]

I’d dread making a building above 7 floors. Im excited for basement making.

[snow nimbus]

both will be pretty neat 🙂

[open vessel]

my future home and that doesn’t include the 32 basement floors I’ll be adding

[limber idol]

Lmao

[snow nimbus]

I am hoping the person working on the racoon city map will continue work on their project

it already looks sick but can't do the underground stuff yet

and that is such a big part of resident evil 2

[snow nimbus]

People on the modding discord have been doing a ton of work for bringing Fallout stuff into the game so I wouldn't doubt that it would be a thing tbh

[old flint]

Yeah there’s an entire fallout project making a map and mods fallout related

[snow nimbus]

yup yup

[fleet flame]

Raccoon City was totally inspired by Spiffo

[snow nimbus]

super cool 😄

[fleet flame]

The Resident Evil Devs looked into the future and got inspired by pz totally

[open vessel]

I knew it

[orchid eagle]

except the city is inside spiffo like the sarlac pitt

[fleet flame]

Yeah, Raccoon City getting nuked was just Spiffo attempting to chug coke and mentos and destroying his stomach

this was corrected in a later message, while it was originally presented that way a reddit reply from a dev mentioned that that limitation was later removed, and all 64 levels can be on a single chunk

[indigo bane]

Ok nice to hear thanks @quartz plume

[open vessel]

[quartz plume]

it's still possible it might have changed back since then (the post seemed uncertain it would stay and you shouldn't really take technical details from pre-release information too seriously)

You think it's coming out on the 20th?

[indigo bane]

no

[deep wing]

Nah it's coming out on the 20fh I promise

[indigo bane]

i would rather say today or 16th

[civic zenith]

19th

[open vessel]

the code to B42 beta will be engrained on a piece of coal that the devs will chuck through our windows sometime between now and 31st of December

[native bronze]

I think they've been around long enough not to release near the weekend

[indigo bane]

what about near holidays ?

[native bronze]

At least a week before? Early January is still possible

[indigo bane]

well holidays starts the 20th isn't it ?

so a week before is the 13th

or 16th

[broken trench]

around the 16th to 20th looks like what the devs are aiming for

[native bronze]

Cipher did say sometime in December but I'm taking that with a grain of salt

[indigo bane]

nasko said it also

[broken trench]

He did?

[indigo bane]

in his secret message

[native bronze]

We are talking about the same thing

[indigo bane]

oh

[old flint]

I’m assuming next Monday-Thursday

[indigo bane]

I thought u were talking about a guy named Cipher

[fleet flame]

Clearly just him trying to secretly tell us that he's being held against his will

[broken trench]

Ohhh

[indigo bane]

what can we do

[native bronze]

Serves him well. Holding b42 against our will

[indigo bane]

if they release the update after the holidays, i think they would release it by the 2nd week of January

otherwise they would just release it before the holidays

[latent storm]

Stop conspiracy boarding everything, we've gone insane

It'll get here when it gets here lmao

[mortal kernel]

just block them like I have

it's way too much and it's gonna get wilder next week

[snow nimbus]

[tawdry gull]

This'll be the day, B42 for sure

[cloud moon]

I hope B42 releases after my school gets out

[hot quiver]

12 days so far, 18 days left potentially

[tawdry gull]

I just hope its out before i have to leave

[hot quiver]

any day now...

[mortal kernel]

yeah like 2 months ago it was just fine we were talking about features and the new stuff now it's chaotic and wild

[tawdry gull]

I wish a bot would just give them time out when asking anything related to launch like when it will drop, etc

[snow nimbus]

people would just spam it, like they used to with !roadmap

[mortal kernel]

timed-out by a bot then

[snow nimbus]

[mortal kernel]

can't reply to this chat for 24h

[open vessel]

if your Steam is linked to your Discord, it’ll ban you from playing PZ for 24 hours

[mortal kernel]

how is that possible because it's a time out not a ban ?

steam sees it as a ban?

[open vessel]

nah, I’m just trolling

[mortal kernel]

no, it's a great ideea

[open vessel]

idt that’d ever happen

[mortal kernel]

!!!

next b42 when? > 24h ban on launching PZ game

;))

idk whats more frustrating people whining about b42's launch date or people whining about people whining about b42's launch date

[mortal kernel]

@snow nimbus I saw you talked about Fallout stuff being added to Zomboid, have you tried the fallout power armor mod ? is it any good / balanced ?

I've read about it but opinions are mixed atm

[snow nimbus]

I have seen a few of them, I was unsure which one would be best and I have yet to mess with them tbh

[orchid eagle]

No lol

Its funny theyre hyper

[mortal kernel]

I was thinking the same thing that's why I asked, let's hope they get updated

also Hazardous Zones with nuclear radiation zones add a nice touch to a fallout themed run

in case you haven't tried that one, I recommend it

[snow nimbus]

yea I wanted to do a fallout themed playthrough but I wasn't able to setit up enough to my liking at the time

[pure hedge]

B42 drops on 13th
Playerbase plays and finds bugs all over the weekend
Devs come back monday and focus on fixing most critical issues before Christmas

[snow nimbus]

probably more fallout themed things now then there was at the time

[pure hedge]

just hold out hope

[tawny quarry]

It WILL be out BY the 20th

Otherwise, i will be very angy

[mortal kernel]

yes and now that you've given me those mods I'm thinking of starting a nuclear run

[snow nimbus]

😁

[mortal kernel]

game just got a lot better ;))

[eager wyvern]

No one says it will be out by the 20th. It is just a rumor based on previous release dates.

And we are all just playing along with it.

[wide jungle]

It'll be out by 20th because people said so, based on made up facts and conspiracies, and people will riot their fantasy dates didn't happen

[eager wyvern]

Can't wait to taste those sweet sweet tears.

[wide jungle]

-15 Thirst

Or +15, don't know how salty tears are

[eager wyvern]

Mood +10

[mortal kernel]

and that date was for b41 stable

not the unstable, two different things....

but I agree they're hyper and it's funny sometimes, laught at them or ignore them it's your choice

[snow nimbus]

Ohh you know what? It could be pretty interesting with the bandits mod too, now that I think about it

[broken trench]

Manifesting this 🤞

[snow nimbus]

that wasn't a thing last time I was trying to set it up

[mortal kernel]

have you seen bandint WEEK ONE?

[snow nimbus]

yea

[mortal kernel]

very nais

[snow nimbus]

pretty neat!

[mortal kernel]

bandits day one nuclear

careful with the npcs, cause if you hit them they will aggro back and ya dead if it's a big group....

[snow nimbus]

I haven't played day one since it originally released

[mortal kernel]

it's 2.0 now

[snow nimbus]

I should check it out

[mortal kernel]

go maybe with 2 in-game hours, it feels a little bit stretched out not so fast paced, but not more, recommended is 1

[native bronze]

damn. they are still at it cracking builds

this is so funny

[native bronze]

for context: following the book to learn rust programming and the first example is to do a guessing game. This step is teaching to use a random number generator to get the value you should guess, that's why it prints it before you have a chance to guess.

[snow nimbus]

We like rng

[native bronze]

so I run the program for the first time after implementing the rng usage and this is the result. 1/100 chance

[obtuse wasp]

I mean yeah, there's people working remotely for indie stone all over the world

[snow nimbus]

It's true

[obtuse wasp]

The main office was British but from memory there were also Australian, American and Canadian devs

[native bronze]

Oh, that's more reasonable. I thought the team was all in the UK

[obtuse wasp]

But I also don't know how strict they're with office hours, so who knows

Sorry guys, democracy calls. I'll hound the devs for B42 once I'm finished

[grizzled plank]

Will be the new year for some people, so that can still backfire jokingly.

[paper isle]

No MP in build 42 unstable?

[regal sphinx]

We got zombies in helldivers 2 before build 42

[grizzled plank]

Yes. No mp untill initial release.

[obtuse wasp]

No

That is wrong

Multiplayer support will be reintroduced next year still within unstable to iron out core game bugs before the entire MP rework messes with things even more

If the server allowed it I'd have changed my name as well lol

Not today

[limber idol]

I doubt they'll do a Friday release. Dropping the update just to fuck off for 48 hours before looking at bug reports seems a bit of a stretch. But then again I don't game dev so what do I know?

[magic wraith]

yea I see that but also maybe the devs have much more relaxed working conditions

I want a friday release bad so I don't have to work while the temptation of B42 is there haha

[indigo bane]

They could do that so we can report some bugs this week end and they can prepare hot fixes the next week just before they go on holidays

[deep field]

I am here to announce that B42 will come by the end of the year. You’re welcome.

[indigo bane]

Otherwise they couldn't fix anything after the next week

[magic wraith]

they might not focus on hotfixes too I'd imagine with the time in the oven there's probably not many huge game breaking bugs that require hot fixes if you get me

all speculation ofc

[indigo bane]

Yes of course we are all speculating here. Actually, everything can happen

[magic wraith]

fr

[limber idol]

Yeah they said in the Thursdoid that as long as nothing major happens the update will most likely release before Christmas

[old needle]

Even if it's a joke half the time

[fallen phoenix]

no yeah its fun to see ppl poke the bear

[old needle]

Yeah I'd be lying if I said it hasn't become a part of my routine

[fallen phoenix]

im not even expecting news to drop in here...

imagine if i nosed around the mapping discord with such enthusiasm

i couldve gone pro by now

[finite turtle]

I read all the devs messages for hidden messages or quotes I could use for info

And exploit it on my TikTok acting like I know when b42 is coming out cuz pat said “I’m turning 21 soon” (it’s coming out the 21st)

[late jackal]

Yeah, there's a reason devs rarely, if ever, release on Friday. That's why the only remaining option is next week. The week after is definitely not option.

[fallen phoenix]

did u find anything abt b42 map tools

i am like actually most dying to know when we get those

[fallen phoenix]

um... they said that it could release as late as next month

if it doesnt release before christmas the options become: any time after christmas

[limber idol]

They said it was msot likely to release before Christmas and if they had to delay to January we'd be the first to know

"As many have assumed, we are currently working on getting Unstable out before Christmas.

We feel like we will be in a good place for this, but clearly the closer we get – the shorter the window for any necessary patching before the Christmas season.

If we need to, we will choose to delay – but right now the enjoyment we’re seeing from our testers certainly would seem to suggest that the build will be in a good enough state for wider consumption. (And if it were to slip, at this point in time it’s hard to imagine it slipping far into the New Year.)

If anything were to happen to change our minds, you would be the first to know."

[latent mulch]

YOU KNOW WHY 21 WOULD BE PERFECT ACUTALLY

cause 21+21 = 42

it's all in there, the math doens't lie

[stable bison]

I killed 4 of my players' characters last night in D&D with a Reaper of Bhaal. Is the Indie Stone's bloodlust appeased by this? Or must more die to get Build 42?

[fallen phoenix]

yea that just doesnt at all imply that theres no option but to release on the 19th

[fallen phoenix]

going that far they should just release on dec 42nd

[stable bison]

Someone else yesterday stated that the last build was released on a Tuesday when it first went into unstable.

[fallen phoenix]

ya i dont think thursday is the end-all be-all

was stable a thursday?

[latent mulch]

theey would but they can't so it's gonna be 42-11 (years since launch) and minus 10 (cause december derivates from the latim word decem that means ten)

the math is all there

[fallen phoenix]

ur onto someth im sure. its got math

[mortal kernel]

ye, it's either next week or 2025

[fallen phoenix]

20+25=45 theyre actually skipping to b45... incredible

[proper dirge]

Damn, might hit 8k before 10am

157 to go

[robust shell]

15k before announcement

[finite turtle]

I really doubt they release 24-26 cuz of christmas stuff

They prob wouldn’t release on christmas cuz tis is out with family and we’re out celebrating

[ember crane]

I'm 58

"The lights will flicker on and off but nobody will be there"

[ancient raft]

everyone always asks "when's the update" and never "how's the update"

[old needle]

[late jackal]

You're right.

TIS crew, how is the update?

[grizzled plank]

https://tenor.com/view/theyre-the-same-picture-the-office-pam-the-office-us-gif-20757621

[woeful sparrow]

realistically we have to wait for around one more week max

i think

[limber idol]

Yeah there shouldn't be any major delay unless someone on the team does a fucky wucky

[indigo bane]

1 week

7 days

168 hours

10080 minutes

604000 seconds

i start counting

[latent mulch]

7888

[finite turtle]

Word has it the indie stone was just robbed again……

That’s another 5 years

Just kidding I love indie game store

[woeful sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/dallas-payday-mewing-bye-bye-edward-kiss-gif-16604714024943792662

[pure hedge]

yea it was me sorry

but at least i can now play b42

[junior arrow]

word has it that indie stone have developed a time machine and the whole office was transported 10 years into the future with no way to return. sorry guys looks like 10 years delay...

[latent mulch]

word has it that by B50 we will have the entire US map as playable

[finite turtle]

If we don’t send anything on this thread for 24 hours we get b42 , I made this up but it’s real .

[junior arrow]

build 51: intergalactic update

[latent mulch]

impossible

[indigo bane]

Maybe Pat is lying

maybe...

[finite turtle]

I’m calling pats bluff

[indigo bane]

It's actually today

[junior arrow]

actually it already happened

[finite turtle]

A million percent sure it’s today

It’s out oh my golly

[indigo bane]

If he doesn't say "not today" we would have known it's today

[finite turtle]

wtf why is it saying build 42 is a seperate dlc for $20

[indigo bane]

so he has to say it so we don't spread the information

[finite turtle]

Hm…

It’s actually evil what indie game store is doing. Every second of my life since this post I have been living in constant suspense

It can be any second now and none of us know except them

[pine musk]

Sounds like you need a life bud

[indigo bane]

ye same

[finite turtle]

I need to be aware at all times

[indigo bane]

I was born with the alpha dude

[finite turtle]

Since once it comes out I gotta get streaming asap and post videos

I already have videos ready for when it comes out

[pine musk]

how many followers / subs do you have?

[finite turtle]

13,000

[pine musk]

X

[finite turtle]

C

[indigo bane]

tiktok right ?

[finite turtle]

Yeah

Gonna be so mad if TikTok gets banned bro

[latent mulch]

worth it tbh

[finite turtle]

Right when I start making money off it too

[latent mulch]

they could've charged b41 as a new game

with how much stuff has changed

[indigo bane]

i'd buy it for $100

[finite turtle]

Yeah indie stones cool for that

[latent mulch]

well a 100 would be a bit too much maybe

[finite turtle]

Can we get steam achievements for b42 🥺

[white marten]

I bought this game for like $8 years ago. I've gotten countless hours in it and B42 is going to be amazing.

[indigo bane]

i agree, but i would pay it anyway lol @latent mulch

[latent mulch]

99 tops

99,99$

[finite turtle]

I bought the game on December 24th 2021

[indigo bane]

i've been playing for almost 10 years now, i've never got as excited as i am for this update

[finite turtle]

Yeah

[latent mulch]

how do we see

when we bought something

[finite turtle]

Steam purchase history if u got it off steam

[indigo bane]

Steam -> Account Detail

[pine musk]

27th of Jan 2015, sheeeeeesh

[finite turtle]

Yall don’t realize how much build 42 means to me 🙏🏼🙏🏼 as a jobless teen who has like 3000 hours on Zomboid this is the biggest moment of my life

[latent mulch]

I bought 26 of July of 2018
for 2 dollars

[white marten]

I bought it before it was even on Desura, but in that case I can just check my email.

[latent mulch]

DAMMM

[latent mulch]

this game was so cheap

[finite turtle]

Inflation…

[finite turtle]

Holy cow

[latent mulch]

not inflation

I mean it updated a ton of stuff with b41

[indigo bane]

ye

[latent mulch]

will prob get more expensive too with b42

[finite turtle]

I have 3000 hours and I’ll admit it like 1000 of it is leaving the game up by accident

I left it open for a whole week on a macbook by accident, I was just surprised it didn’t blow up

[latent mulch]

dammmmmm

[hot quiver]

💀

[latent mulch]

come on lets hit 8k and them ima go sleep, what else can we talk about

[hot quiver]

can't believe indie stone didn't release B42 unstable during game awards

smh skill issue

[finite turtle]

Fr

[latent mulch]

I was fully expecting it until the last second

[finite turtle]

They should’ve announced it there, build up hype

[latent mulch]

only reason I watched the game awards

[white marten]

This is when you had to buy one of their finished games and got project zomboid as a gift :p

[pine musk]

cant wait for b42 to be released only to not play it until the mods are updated

[hot quiver]

at least we got witcher 4's trailer which was pretty baller

[latent mulch]

I mean, most of the mods won't be really needed at least

only one I'm really anxious for is true music

[hot quiver]

oh man that's an iffy one

lots of copyright issues, but it's also one I'm praying doesn't get taken down

[pine musk]

can never have enough mods

[finite turtle]

It was nominated, just didn’t win

[indigo bane]

[latent mulch]

mhmmmm this feels right, yes

[hot quiver]

who's ass did you photoshop over lmao

[finite turtle]

No photoshop here

It was a surprise to all of us

Nasko went on stage and announced build 42 nominee last second

[hot quiver]

oh you did ff7r dirty here i see

should've pasted it over elden ring dlc

[finite turtle]

Elden ring kind of sucks

But anyway, zomboid and build 42

[hot quiver]

i want basements

but more importantly

i want optimisations

i want to fight a horde of two thousand in louisville while maintaining triple digit fps

[finite turtle]

Dude the lighting is gonna be amazing and yeah the optimisatiins

[hot quiver]

orange lighting is going to be such a mood

[indigo bane]

New light -> Crafting -> New items -> Animals -> Everything else

[finite turtle]

Actually want the town improvements the most

[hot quiver]

I FORGOTABOUT THAT

[finite turtle]

The maps one of my favorite parts of Zomboid
