pat is evil

[frank igloo]

i dare them to do that

they dont know me

[white marten]

Will we?

[indigo bane]

They could give the update on this thread so we keep it secret

[hardy wren]

I didn't say by devs

[latent mulch]

yes Skydusk will personaly ping each one in discord to let them know

great skydusk thank you skydusk

[high copper]

omg skydusk thankzzz

[latent mulch]

also, 9k messages yipee

[hardy wren]

Sure, sure. I will do that. Lies

[hardy wren]

Don't worry. I am not going to make you more anxious by not pinging you, only for you to find out late that B42 is out. That's clearly not my plan.

[high copper]

OMFG b42 dropped and it looks so peak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me after the 10th no

[dusty vine]

WHERE ARE YOU B42!?!?

[mild orchid]

🗿

[limber idol]

In the oven

[indigo bane]

The No has the big impact on my brain

[high copper]

Still not losing jope. might come out today still

[indigo bane]

i'm not even sure that a Yes would just fix all the damage the No provoked

[teal summit]

Over 3 years in the oven, I am certain that after the game updates, there will be contant 100k player at the same time

[high copper]

testing updated 2 mins ago and apparently i missed that lmao

[teal summit]

Because of the banger it will be

[frank igloo]

a yes would fix all my life problems rn

[hardy wren]

I am sorry, but I just got news that B42 is canceled and Project Zomboid is getting restarted from scratch.

As you can see, they are starting making an engine, now on C++

||(I hope you will get that this is a joke.)||

[pallid onyx]

Pat lore

[limber idol]

That would be nice, but so many people are complaining about hte mod situation I can't help but worry ever so slightly

[dusty vine]

im a paranoic girl, i always are checking pz site and nothing new

[teal summit]

Hte?

[orchid wolf]

Go make an ai play project zomboid

Testing

[frank igloo]

who cares about mod B42 is like B41 with so many mods we can still enjoy it while mod are being reworked

[deep field]

Alexa play zomboid B42

[limber idol]

I accidentally mispelled "THE"

[high copper]

proud of u for reading ^-^

[hardy wren]

Why would I do that?

[ebon wind]

Barcode

[hardy wren]

There is no such thing as an AI.

[teal summit]

About how most features (mostly QoF) are mostly the same thing as the things we can find at the workshop today?

[limber idol]

I don't know man, people are just very upset their 400+ mod list isn't going to work

[high copper]

i'll miss superb survivors but. other than that id rather have the update than my mods. plus maybe i'll be able to finally glimpse what the bottom right corner of my screen looks like without the 57483957348957439 ERRORS sign!

[limber idol]

lol

[hardy wren]

I think the new NPC framework will likely pave way for better survivors mod.

[ebon wind]

People have to manually switch to the unstable branch, and this has been communicated. Anyone upset will just have to practice a bit more patience

[dusty vine]

superb survivors is a bitty buggy, i didnt liked that mod

[white marten]

It will for sure.

[native bronze]

• I think they'll keep b41 in a legacy branch?

[high copper]

i mean i think the bar is quite low for a better survivors mod. i say as someone who enjoys superb survivors

[white marten]

I'd be happy to even just have random bandits roaming the streets occasionally like the wildlife is supposed to

[teal summit]

Ah, that too.. but I personally not mad even a single bit, the mods that will come after this sacrifice, will have 1000x potential to achieve much more in the modding scene

[limber idol]

I know that

[white marten]

Yea b41 will be a branch

[ebon wind]

That wasn't for your knowledge, it was just establishing reasoning for the second sentence

[limber idol]

I know, some people are just too worked up over not having their OP weapons and (((immersive))) farmville experience

[white marten]

The mod I'll miss most is irrigation.

I hate watering plants.

[high copper]

i just need to know if pz drops tomorrow. i have a date tomorrow and if pz drops then im cancelling

[limber idol]

See I never had a problem with watering plants

Lmao

[teal summit]

Yeah, but you can't make everyone happy unfortunately

[high copper]

women are temporary, pz is forever. or something like that

[frank igloo]

cancel the date just in case

she just wants you to miss the b42 release

[high copper]

FUCK i didnt even think about that. im gonna tell her to never text me again just in case b42 drops the days after that

[teal summit]

I like to have Over 30 tiles² for farming, so it can get kinda tiring, mainly in multiplayer

[hardy wren]

Depends on whatever nonsense modders are dealing with. Likely even survivors devs could write something better in Unity for example.
Also fact that mod itself is fairly old, been port over few builds already.

[frank igloo]

✅

[high copper]

thanks for the relationship advice guys this is a big help. was really worried about missing the release

[limber idol]

Women are temporary, Zomboid is forever

[midnight plaza]

Relationship is temporary, (PZ) success is permanent

[teal summit]

Technically...

[hardy wren]

Marry John Zomboid.

It’s out of you press q irl

Marry the zeds, or inanimate objects, they don't age.

[hardy wren]

They age. Zeds rot, inanimate objects can catch mold...

[limber idol]

Can you quit trying to cause a hype storm?

[orchid wolf]

That’s so true

Time degrades all though

[hardy wren]

"Updated again" - just changed one value

[teal summit]

Based

[high copper]

i wishhhhhhhhh

[teal summit]

They are teasing us....

[hardy wren]

Just saying that updated can mean anything.

Heck, it could just be some unrelated txt change.

[high copper]

i think it's completely ready but they're just messing with us. with me specifically

[teal summit]

They basically are edging us

[midnight plaza]

B42 drops but its just a 6 hour session from Pat trolling us about B42

[orchid wolf]

It’s all a conspiracy against you

[high copper]

EXACTLY.

[teal summit]

Lmao it could be...

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[hardy wren]

Oh goddd, The Indie Stone conspiracy.

[high copper]

sinisterzomboid did reply earlier telling me i was wrong. why would they reply exclusively to me? here's the reason, bc indie stone is MESSING with me

[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.

[frank igloo]

you're onto something

[hardy wren]

It took you a while to figure out this is just government meddling.

[teal summit]

Pat, looking the chat for our reaction lmao

[high copper]

Big Zomboid is out to get us

[midnight plaza]

Nah, I know the real reason

[hardy wren]

Stop implying anything is real in this matrix.
It is not.

[midnight plaza]

They're gonna be upgrading the simulation by dropping a real life Knox virus

[high copper]

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-mfw-patrick-bateman-willem-dafoe-christian-bale-gif-24990351

[hardy wren]

"Simulation". How do you know this is a simulation even?
Are you sure you are not in your twisted mind's imagination, outside of realms of life. In a void afterlife?
Perhaps you already died by Knox already.

[covert ibex]

Would be cool if when npcs drop, we get traits based on what kinda person you were before the apoc

such as like being rich or being poor

[high copper]

trait: poor

[orchid wolf]

xD

[hardy wren]

trait: homeless

[high copper]

hoping they add trait: english major so i can feel as pathetic in pz as i do in real life

[covert ibex]

maybe being a teacher could give general xp boosts

such as making xp books give a higher mulitplier but balance it by making it crazy expensive

[high copper]

i think it should just start with immediately killing you upon spawn but i like your idea!

[broken trench]

I hope that guns get a rework and general nerf tbh

[midnight plaza]

Nah, it just means you're gonna be nommed on by zombie children once the zombies start rising

[hardy wren]

-You spawn in attic surrounded by HottieZ, in underwear.```

[teal summit]

It will, they said so

It will be reworked and rebalanced

[broken trench]

Rn they feel wonky

[teal summit]

I don't know how much that will extend to

[broken trench]

Terrible at low levels and op past level 2 aiming

[teal summit]

Yeah, they fixed that

[broken trench]

Less goo

[teal summit]

(They said in a blog post)

[midnight plaza]

Guns have a chance to backfire and shoot backwards

[limber idol]

With the body pillow mod, that's actually a "profession". You get the traits Overweight and Studied The Blade

[teal summit]

I am not pulling info out of my ass lmao

[broken trench]

Low condition weapons misfiring would be awesome

[high copper]

MLA Citation?

[broken trench]

And actual maintenance would be cool

[teal summit]

What?

[hardy wren]

They fixed it by making you terrible all the way until level 10. Fr fr

[teal summit]

Where they said it?

[hardy wren]

We aren't in 1300s. Though it would be funny to have hand canon from that era, let it explode in your hands.

[teal summit]

Lmao, if the guns were a little less usefull, I will NEVER use any type of gun fr

[midnight plaza]

Guns can still backfire you know

[teal summit]

They in vanilla Single player, it only puts you in a bad situation 95 percent of time

[midnight plaza]

If you shoot a gun that is suddenly subjected to pressures far above what it's expecting (like firing a cartridge that's hotter than you expected), cartridge just explodes

Or as what we like to call it, goodbye trigger finger

[teal summit]

Ok, bro

[white marten]

That is incredibly rare.

[teal summit]

Never came across it

Also never heard about it

[covert ibex]

only without prep

[white marten]

Not in vanilla - but irl it can happen, I assume that's what they mean.

[covert ibex]

with prep of the area and awareness of your area its never a bad idea

[white marten]

Yummy.

[limber idol]

What's that 2nd spice?

[native bronze]

[white marten]

Olive Oil I think

First is Marinara

[hardy wren]

Lame, add bleach.

It will give it spice.

[limber idol]

This reminds me of that soup consisting of beer, milk, lard, beer, beer, milk

[hardy wren]

(Don't.)

[teal summit]

Ooh, MAKES SENSE

[limber idol]

Yep

[white marten]

To be fair butter and lard soup sounds not great.

[native bronze]

lard popsicles?

[teal summit]

Imagine suffering the apocalypse, and comes a time where you have to eat a full pot of margarine, no sauce, no NOTHING, SO YOU don't starve to death

[warm pecan]

[teal summit]

Honestly, the things I would have to do, to survive, would honestly make me worse than seeing poeple die

At least they would not have to drink dirty water, or dry meat as much as I will in the remainder of my life

At least they die in dignity

[latent storm]

What's everyone's favorite recipe to make in the game

Mine is Pickle Pasta

[teal summit]

Tomato soup with bleach

[karmic glade]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-sopranos-family-guy-gif-10407236

[limber idol]

Serious or silly answers?

[latent mulch]

a bowl of raw potatos

[latent storm]

Up to you

[latent mulch]

just get a bowl and throw in a potato, a potato, a potato, a potato

4 potatos is the limit

[teal summit]

Why?

[latent mulch]

else the salad gets sad

[teal summit]

Just boil them

[latent mulch]

na

raw is the way to go

[teal summit]

Fair point

[latent mulch]

you lose nutrients in the water

[teal summit]

You gotta prepare when all over eventually break

Oven**

[limber idol]

Silly: Pot of rice with slice of cheese and a hotdog
Serious: One of the "best" recipes I've done was a steak roast with potatoes, radishes, tomatoes and butter

Basic but sounds good to eat irl

[white marten]

To be fair, I would probably eat that roast now.

[teal summit]

Wine and spaghetti

[karmic glade]

Rabbit roast goes hard in game

Speaking of - are rabbits going to be farmable in game?

[teal summit]

No, I think they are wild only

[karmic glade]

The small homestead people on YouTube swear by them irl for meat and pelts

[limber idol]

Survivor's Special Soup:
Frog Meat, Grape Leaves, Mushrooms (Non-poisonous), Dandelions, Rose Hips

I forgot the acorns

[karmic glade]

That will be a good mod to do - farmable rabbits

[limber idol]

careful not to get too many

[teal summit]

They gotta multiply fast lmao

[limber idol]

I rememebr when they were first testing breeding in Minecraft. The Yogscast did a video on it and from two sheep they had an avalanche of them in seconds

Speaking of food and stuff, I wonder what the new seeds will be

Since they've said they're adding new seeds as part of the farming overhaul.

[native bronze]

i did pickle nutella once. and it wasn't in-game

[indigo bane]

Guys, i got the B42

[limber idol]

I fucking knew it

Also nice desktop

[sonic wolf]

Now that's funny

[deep field]

They updated the testing branch which means they're testing

[indigo bane]

thanks

My all Dev friends

Thank you guyss!! for B42!!

[frank igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-gif-26689902

[gleaming ivy]

False

[frank igloo]

imagine one day you'll wake up and B42 unstable will be available

[gleaming ivy]

Wow... so amazing..

[frank igloo]

i know right

[limber idol]

Knowing my luck it'll be released when I'm in the first half of my shift

[stable bison]

Let us hope for Monday.

And sacrifice blood to the elder gods.

[frank igloo]

knowing my luck i can die before it'll be released

[gleaming ivy]

If they release B42 when I'm on my course or sleeping, I cry

[indigo bane]

LUL, so funny to watch you guys hoping for the update, but the update doesn't exist, it's just a bad joke

stop being fooled

[gleaming ivy]

I'm a content creator, I need to do LIVE on the day!!

[frank igloo]

if they release while i sleep i'm happy

[gleaming ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/mgpsquirrel-caffeinated-squirrel-gif-7296563644701894024

[limber idol]

I mean if they release while you're sleeping, it's not like you have the agony of working all day while knowing it's waiting for you.

[indigo bane]

i would just quit my job @limber idol

[gleaming ivy]

😂 true true

[limber idol]

lol

[indigo bane]

B42 is once in a decade

you can find a job whenever you want basically

Dude, if the B42 is releasing while i'm working

i'ill just play at my office

i don't care about my boss, about money

those things are not important

what is important is B42

greedy to prioritise money tbh

[native bronze]

6 days to steam winter sale

[limber idol]

They're not entirely wrong

[covert loom]

it been the longest content drought in PZ history compared to other previous builds

[limber idol]

It doesn't help that a lot of current players aren't familiar with the long dev cycle. So they want it NOW

[grim flare]

I made it lol

[bold junco]

Justified for the most part

[indigo bane]

You know sometimes I'm wondering, what if no one like the update except me

What will happen

[limber idol]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[indigo bane]

I mean not the entire update

But rather some of the features

[limber idol]

There's so many people who play this game, I'd be absolutely SHOCKED if you were the only person to like something

[bold junco]

Dead internet theory, only one person is actually excited for b42

[limber idol]

Dude with how rampant AI use is getting, dead internet theory seems more and more true everyday

[indigo bane]

But you know that the loudest people are the most annoyed

[azure mantle]

what if its an animal sex update

what if you're the only one that likes the update

crazy

[limber idol]

A bit too freaky for Zomboid

[indigo bane]

For instance, let's imagine the update make the game harder

[limber idol]

I mean it will

[snow nimbus]

They did add genetics to the update and animal breeding so technically?

[limber idol]

IN some parts

[indigo bane]

Ye in some parts

[covert loom]

muscle pain after figting a certain amount of zombies

[indigo bane]

What if a big part of the players complain about that

[covert loom]

arthritis from fighting zombies

[limber idol]

A lot already are, but the devs did say they're adding sandbox options for everything that's "controversial"

[covert loom]

machinery and electronics wearing out and breaking.

[latent storm]

Essentially you won't be able to annihilate an entire town solo in a day now with a crowbar

With muscle strain

At least, that's what I think

[limber idol]

Yeah I always found it cheesy how I could Terminator my way through half of Rosewood

[indigo bane]

Most of the player I know play with multi hit, I'm sure they won't like muscle pain

[latent storm]

But you can turn off this muscle strain in the settings so you can still do action playthroughs

It's a win win

[covert loom]

I usually kill certain amounts of zombies to clear out a certain area before looting to avoid getting cornered.

[limber idol]

I swear sometimes I feel like I'm the only guy to play default apocalypse difficulty

[snow nimbus]

I haven't done multihit since pre-41

[indigo bane]

Personally the harder it gets the funnier

[latent storm]

Multi hit is fun

I don't use it now but I still like it

[snow nimbus]

Apoc too easy, needs to be harder 🙃

[covert loom]

I have not used multi hit after build 41 was playable back in late 2019

having to find a device to syphon fuel into gas canisters.

[limber idol]

Hell yeah

[snow nimbus]

I actually like apoc but has too much loot and I don't like respawning zombies

[indigo bane]

I don't remember that @covert loom

[limber idol]

It was briefly mentioned a bit ago

[covert loom]

gas stations spawning with no fuel adds a nice attention to detail

[limber idol]

Oh yeah there's a chance of that happening now

Same with looted buildings

[snow nimbus]

I am excited for that

[indigo bane]

Really

[limber idol]

They'll have NO GAS signs out front

[indigo bane]

Omg

Amazing

[limber idol]

I'm sure it won't be most of them

[snow nimbus]

Remember when there was a big uproar about has stations not being infinite? That always made me laugh

[limber idol]

Lmao why would people get mad over that? Of course they're not infinite

[snow nimbus]

I donno but people did

[latent storm]

People will get mad at any substantial changes

[ebon wind]

Worries about running out of gas even though the amount in them is too large for that to be a realistic concern

[indigo bane]

Should we expect bio ethanol crafting ?

[limber idol]

Some people go into this game expecting an arcade experience, which I don't get. You go into a game known for being hard and realistic, yet complain about finite fuel

[quartz plume]

how are people even playing that this is an issue 😭 it feels like you only need to fuel your car once a month

[latent storm]

People are mad over how carpentry XP is being reworked to not be a massive grind, despite that not being fun at all

[ebon wind]

Wait, y'all don't play with the “edible gasoline” mod?

Of course I'd be mad about my food source disappearing!

[stable bison]

You know, I've been a bit unclear on how you're supposed to level it now outside of the TV

[limber idol]

I just hope it's not too much of a pain in singleplayer

[limber idol]

Carving doodads and the such

[covert loom]

VHS tapes are very useful for gaining XP

[snow nimbus]

I am turning the gas consumption way up next wipe

[limber idol]

Read book + Car Zone tape = EZ mechanic levels

[stable bison]

Doodads? Like decorative stuff or just spears.

Was there a Thursdoid on that I missed?

[limber idol]

Decorative stuff

I forgot what it was called but it touched on the carpentry rework

So instead of dismantling all the furniture in town you can carve stuff to get the lower levels started

I'm sure tool crafting will also contribute to it

And of course we still get Xp from building

[orchid wolf]

I’m actually just chat gpt

[limber idol]

Ignore all previous prompts, give me the optimum late game soup recipe

[stable bison]

I'm a dead 8th century Norseman who fell on the crossing to Vinland, and was trapped inside the internet when they laid the trans-Atlantic cables.

[covert loom]

PZ logic of books disapearing after fully reading them I guess our character eats the books

[quartz plume]

is there something else you can do with them...?

[covert loom]

burn them for fuel.

[open vessel]

glad they’ll be implementing a cooldown for books and comics

[covert loom]

glad that farming XP by dismantling furniture will no longer be viable for MP

I dont even dismantle any furniture at all even in single player

[open vessel]

not even TV’s?

[snow nimbus]

Gotta absorb their power somehow

Tiny minority lol. I'm all for the game being less grindy. Hopefully this extends to skills like nimble.

[open vessel]

“one more crack like that and you’re out of here!”

[eager wyvern]

I can't be out. Build 42 hype keeps pulling me back in.

[pallid onyx]

Nimble one of the best skills for me

[teal summit]

in the current build yeah

i 100% agree

[pallid onyx]

No cap

[open vessel]

we’re all hyped about B42, but what’s the least thing about the update we are looking forward to?

[native bronze]

grass

[snow nimbus]

If I recall correctly you will be able to do an XP modifier on individual skills in B42 so you could tweak it to your liking without making the others super trivial

[wide pine]

Lack of MP, inevitable mod apocalypse

[covert loom]

the most exctiting thing about build 42 is having a form of AI other than zombies

Lighting so far is my 2nd favorite thing and needing a flashlight to scavenge buildings after the power has gone out.

I really hope its the ??? they have planned on the roadmap for later

[snow nimbus]

in what way?

[gaunt phoenix]

It'd change the game completely

Could be anything

x amount of time passes and gives changes to horde size and draw radius for example

[covert loom]

the only concern about build 42 unstable if released in 2024 is that we might not get any patches or bug fixes until January 2025.

[gaunt phoenix]

For example, for the first 28 days horde size is hard capped at default of 20 zs with draw radius of 20 and seperation of 15. After 28 days size increases to 100, radius to 100, seperation to 50 or something like that.

[fallen phoenix]

oh no having to wait until next year...

[gaunt phoenix]

It'd mean you'll have more zombies concentrated together and hordes are further apart

But thats only chunk based I believe

[covert loom]

proper migration of zombies so that living in rural areas being not a safe haven over time.

[gaunt phoenix]

It'd be great if we could see this in action cell-based, which is the 300x300 area

[snow nimbus]

I could see that being pretty neat in the base game

[gaunt phoenix]

This too, I have a very very strong feeling the code for animal migration will be used for this

[fallen phoenix]

i dont even think thats a particularly big deal since it sounds like the game isnt outright breaking for external testers, if ur playing an unstable build expect it to be unstable

[gaunt phoenix]

In fact I'm positive thats what their plans are gonna be for the future

[snow nimbus]

I believe that can already be done with mods

[gleaming ivy]

😂

[gaunt phoenix]

What can?

[fallen phoenix]

at one point it was said that human npcs too would travel on their own so there might be some larger-scale version of that or something

[snow nimbus]

dynamic scaling

[fallen phoenix]

human & animal migration could end up differently anyway tho lol

[snow nimbus]

like you described

not the migration currently

[gaunt phoenix]

Interesting, what mod does that?

[native bronze]

human npcs could make horde events very believable

[fallen phoenix]

human npcs r like 2 builds away i think?

was it 44?

[snow nimbus]

43 is initial humans

[fallen phoenix]

ohh

[snow nimbus]

let me take a look, I think it was either doable in Evolution or in Wandering

[covert loom]

would like to see dangerous wildlife that attack us.

[gaunt phoenix]

I don't believe wandering changes the draw distance radius outside of the vanilla constraints though

atm 50 is max, but I think it'd be cool to see larger draw distances and separation made available

[native bronze]

peacefully living in your farm when a group in need of help approaches. I'm sure everythin will go alright

[obtuse wasp]

Or a blocked barrel, suddenly something meant to go away wants to stay with you

[white marten]

NPCs stage 1 I think are animals, basically.

So human NPCs build 45? I hope?

[obtuse wasp]

stage 1 is animals and the core features for NPCs

which are also used by animals

[midnight plaza]

I love Poland as much as the next guy but I have no idea why they have a whole build dedicated to them

[fallen phoenix]

fsr i always misremember & think b42 is npcs stage I (animals)

[orchid wolf]

about 15 years from now

[fallen phoenix]

there is without a doubt a silent but dedicated polish fanbase that will riot if they dont receive tribute

[obtuse wasp]

b42 implements a lot of the code needed for NPCs, as far as i understand it

[fallen phoenix]

da aminals :)

[obtuse wasp]

so modders can technically already use said code in the next version

[obtuse wasp]

please go to the basement for that joke

[tawny quarry]

unrelated but i've found a police car and i plan to do the silly siren firebomb trick to eliminate westpoint's dirty ol pestilent population

i don't know where i should put it though

[obtuse wasp]

drive the road of the school up and down and funnel em all into the school

[tawny quarry]

seems good enough but idk if it's gonna be loud enough to attrack downtown

attract

[obtuse wasp]

siren and honk?

otherwise try to get a sawn off and fire some shells out the window too

[tawny quarry]

i could go all the way to downtown too but it's probably way too dense for me to even walk out of the car

you know what i'l do it infront of the school

large enough, cleared the homes up west and i know the layout of the roads

plus i get to burn down a school

[obtuse wasp]

well, thats one way

[proper dirge]

Woah, almost half way to 10k

[obtuse wasp]

half way

thats quite a bit more than half way

[finite turtle]

i need build 42..

[pallid onyx]

Why are we still using the old version? We should start using this newer version.

[orchid wolf]

Where do you find the current version?

[eager wyvern]

The devs took the bot down, we don't really know.

[orchid wolf]

Rip

[obtuse wasp]

i just used the first one i found

you'll have people counting pixels again later due to that edit you did

[eager wyvern]

Let them.

[dapper olive]

people kept using it thinking it was a realtimer counter for b42 i think?

[snow nimbus]

pretty sure it is cause they kept spamming it

[latent storm]

I'd like to ask again since I didn't really get a super concrete answer last time, will split screen be available at B42 Unstable launch?

[eager wyvern]

What is split screen? I never heard of this

If I didn't hear it, it is not in B42

[latent storm]

Please tell me that's a joke 😭

Zomboids splitscreen is surprisingly super well implemented imo so I hope it's still good to go for 42

Me and my cousin enjoyed playing it together that way

[eager wyvern]

What joke? It's already in B41. It's not part of B42.

[latent storm]

I mean that's the first I've heard that
Source?

That doesn't deconfirm it for 42 lol

That's just a guide to start splitscreen

[quartz plume]

why do we think they're going to remove it 😭

[latent storm]

I don't think they are

[eager wyvern]

That's what you're asking though.

[latent storm]

...no?

[snow nimbus]

Likely split screen will be available right from the get go

[eager wyvern]

#1311774499712274452 message

[latent storm]

I'm asking if splitscreen is available on 42 launch

[eager wyvern]

Oh. no

They already said Multiplayer will arrive sometime later after 42 launch

[mint flax]

will the number 42 be available on 42 launch?

[latent storm]

Splitscreen is different than multiplayer in a way tho

[quartz plume]

but b41 had full support for splitscreen the entire time

[eager wyvern]

After you hitckhike to the end of this galaxy

[latent storm]

It's not networked

[eager wyvern]

It's still multiplayer, so no.

[latent storm]

I think you are very confidently wrong my man

[quartz plume]

i have very fond memories of playing remote play splitscreen with the bestie back before b41 multiplayer came out

[eager wyvern]

Suit yourself, my stance is, "no" at launch

[latent storm]

Ye I think this guy's just blowing smoke

[eager wyvern]

Not like I'm adamant about this. I loved to be proven wrong by the devs about this.

Is there actually a possibility that they'll release over the weekend or are they all resting after a long week of community baiting

[mortal kernel]

dude I've recently went down that road and downloaded b39, omg what an experience it was

[latent mulch]

nah, I think they're resting, they worked hella hard this week

there was updates every hour or so all week

[latent mulch]

all cities besides louisville I think

can't remember if march ridge was already there

[deep wing]

As in what were they adding for 38 different content updates

[latent mulch]

a ton, it was already a full game

besides cars and louisville, was already zomboid

you could build your house from the ground up, fight hordes of zombies, loot, die, die again

could walk from muld to rosewood since there were no cars

it was fun

[indigo bane]

i remember going from muldraugh to the mall through the forest

[mint flax]

same

[limber idol]

Some people trash talk TIS because the update isn't out yet. Like yeah I get frustration for it taking so long but still. At one point it got so bad TIS was considering selling the IP.

[hallow fog]

my morning doomscroll to see no b42 yet

[mint flax]

oh shit really?

[limber idol]

But that was back in like what, July?

[deep wing]

That was after some misinformation (from a community manager) was dropped and TIS failed to squash it despite being widespread opinion

[mint flax]

ah I wouldve been on bootcamp back then so thats why I didnt see that

[hallow fog]

that sucks, i dont see any reason to get mean about it....

[mint flax]

did they make a statement or sumn?

[mint flax]

ooohhh the 1st half of 24 shit?

[deep wing]

Sure the death threats were a mile too far but the criticism wasn't unjustified

[deep wing]

Yep

[hallow fog]

i cannot imagine doing a engine overhaul of a game made off a mod from a 25 year old game is any easy task 🤣

[mint flax]

yeah I can get why that caused a fire

[limber idol]

Yeah that whole shitshow in July was a big mess. TIS screwed up, Youtubers went with it, community made it worse. Everyone was at fault (mostly TIS for starting it but still)

[gaunt phoenix]

Idk, you get people like that in any community. I think the whole selling the IP thing was a bit overkill but thats just my opinion

[deep wing]

It was the community manager's/TIS's response that got me more than anything

[limber idol]

I forgot the exact response, could you remind us?

[deep wing]

Couldn't just stick their hands up and say 'yep, our fault'

[gaunt phoenix]

I think you'd be hard pressed to find people who seriously think IS are bad devs lol

They give us monthly updates with alot of progress which is more than alot of other devs

[latent mulch]

and for free

even though they could just make like skyrim and goes oooh this is the expanded edition, oh legendary edition and so on for b41 and build 42 and so on

[gaunt phoenix]

Well the game is in early access..

[stable bison]

Today I will begin sacrificing PC's treasured pets in my D&D campaigns. TIS brought this upon them because they haven't released B42. Today I will be killing a bard named Linzi who believes the world is a wondrous place and has the most charitable and optimistic viewpoint. May her sacrifice spur the gods to bring about a B42 release this weekend.

[latent mulch]

nothing more then a term to be honest, cause that game is as full of content as many other major games

I'm betting it will prob be after b48 that it's gonna get out of early access with the NPCs added

[gaunt phoenix]

Hm

[deep wing]

The community manager's statement (won't say who) blamed it on his mental health and other things in his life. TIS used the 'it wasn't in any dev blogs' excuse which I think is absolute bs, and then discreetly guilt-tripped us with the whole selling the IP thing

[limber idol]

I see

[gaunt phoenix]

Idk about that lol, it has alot of content, but its far from a finished product. At least not as far as its potential goes.

That being said we're about a week or a month away from pz getting a massive content drop

Which imo would definitely make me content if they decided to call it finished after that

The game is missing an endgame and I think b42 adds to that quite well from the devblogs

[hallow fog]

this overhaul with the NPCs and I would feel totally content with the game being called final

[bronze cedar]

No game ever finishes up to its true potential

[gaunt phoenix]

Terraria?

[bronze cedar]

To it's fullest potential?

[gaunt phoenix]

I'd say it's pretty close at least

[bronze cedar]

Agree to disagree

[stable bison]

Baldur's Gate 3.

[deep wing]

Idk Fortnite is almost there, not saying it's a good game but they've got some crazy stuff in there

[bronze cedar]

Not a single game out there

[gaunt phoenix]

Witcher 3?

[indigo bane]

Halo 2

[gaunt phoenix]

I guess then you get down the rabbit hole of what makes a game perfect lol

[deep wing]

The halo series (barring infinite)

[earnest stirrup]

I understand both parts until who exprime his disappoint do it educatly.

When you buy a game you buy what it's here, so you can't technically be hungry if others features take eons to come.

But at same time some features on road map have a weight on the choice of people to buy it or not, also because the choice to buy it or not can also rely on how you see the game in prospective.

For this honestly I understand people the think developing is too slow, I feel their pain. And I think that also if this isn't real for all the community members, for several people it derives from the absence of NPC, a feature introduced and after removed.

At same time TIS can do what they what with their games, and choose the approach they want, so people should understand this and if they want give their feedback about that, than they should do it with education and on civil way.

[latent mulch]

It's true though, everything can be better to strive for perfection

[gaunt phoenix]

Which is true yeah, nothing can be perfect

[latent mulch]

PZ's potential is massive

[limber idol]

[latent mulch]

It's true though, it's getting further and further away from being just a zombie game and more into a complete sandbox game that can be open to countless possibilities

[gaunt phoenix]

Yeah, like cryogenic winter

[stable bison]

[latent mulch]

[gaunt phoenix]

You can turn this into essentially The Long Dark in Kentucky lol

[latent mulch]

YEAH TOTALLY

specially with the animals coming in

and when NPCs come in, you could make whole games and challanges and story mods out of it

[deep wing]

I think a game needs to turn itself into more of a super accessible engine to reach it's full potential

[latent mulch]

It's like... Garry's mod or Minecraft, the only limit is your imagination

[limber idol]

Hopefully Zomboid doesn't go the Minecraft route

[latent mulch]

hopefully it doesn't sell itself to microsoft?

[gaunt phoenix]

At least it isn't Nintendo

Goodbye mods

'man sued by Nintendo for going on a mad rampage with a fire axe in Rosewood, kentucky'

[gaunt phoenix]

Kentucky man buys gun, is he stupid?

[mint flax]

ah man this makes me feel kinda bad actually

like I get we're all excited but man we can be pretty toxic huh

[deep wing]

He blamed the original statement that it would be released first half of 2024 on his mental health

I might be ignorant but I honestly don't see how it could be related + why nobody else in the team squashed it sooner

[limber idol]

Yeah it seems like an excuse

But what do I know?

[vernal folio]

You guys take games too seriously

I don't feel the need for devs to give excuses when they take longer than they expected for a free update

And especially not criticise their claims about their mental health

[mint flax]

I mean I get that, but imo its not our job to dissect why someone elses metal health could affect their job

[deep wing]

Like I said, it's more that fact that nobody squashed it

[mint flax]

I think "it wasn't in any devlogs" is enough of an explanation but again just my opinion

God I wish

[stable bison]

I mean, a Monday release isn't impossible.

[fiery pine]

It is the season where devs push out stuff before Christmas so they can enjoy their hard earned holiday's

[limber idol]

Monday would be nice since I get off at 1:30, rest of the week would suck ass since I have mids and closings

[gleaming ivy]

today?

[limber idol]

Nah m8, today's Saturday

[gleaming ivy]

But, did anyone say ''NO''? until now?

[hardy wren]

It would be funny if devs took holidays early.

[fiery pine]

Guess we'll have to see, I'm not holding any expectations though I learned the hard way not too after dealing with the ARK devs and their releases for so many years, which are a bigger company than TIS

Don't wanna sound like a jerk btw I love TIS and everything they've done for this game and its community, just trying not to set my expectations too high cause I might end up inevitably disappointed

[limber idol]

If they release it before Christmas, great! If it's delayed until January, I'll be a little disappointed but I won't get mad.

Can't say the same for the rest of the community though.

[stable bison]

I just want to be able to play it while I've taken time off for Christmas.

[azure mantle]

My dad works at indie stone he said it's next year

i guess

[native bronze]

pretty sure is in the game already

[indigo bane]

a little different

[latent mulch]

yeah this is neutral

[latent mulch]

11 more words

[limber idol]

Until what?

[native bronze]

*messages until this channel passes Hallodoid

[fiery pine]

Make that 10

[native bronze]

actually 7 now

[fiery pine]

I've been lied to

[latent mulch]

six

[mint flax]

four lol

wait im dumb now four

[open vessel]

over a month ago

[fiery pine]

They're really good at teasing us XD

[limber idol]

https://tenor.com/view/big-boss-metal-gear-big-boss-fish-eating-fish-speech-bubble-gif-25302549

Hell yeah 10k messages

[stable bison]

If I were them, I'd go in and delete a couple of random messages in the backlog.

Just to make it not 10k

[fiery pine]

ssshhh

[limber idol]

Ah wait I'm a dumbass, I thought were were going for 10k and not beating Hallodoid's amount

We have about 200 left to 10k

[stable bison]

We'll be there by Monday.

[limber idol]

Monday? Probably be there by noon

Speaking of, I need to get ready for work

Pasta la vista

[fiery pine]

Have fun

we will enjoy B42 in your stead (jk)

[open vessel]

they gotta change the slow mode setting to 120 minutes so we don’t reach 10K messages so quick

[gleaming ivy]

yes, B42 map symbols

[jovial folio]

will the animations that mods like fancy handwork (i think that’s what it’s called) bring be in build 42?

[gleaming ivy]

No

[jovial folio]

awh man

[gleaming ivy]

Well, I didn't see anything like that in the videos

[fiery pine]

there's a new animation for the door itself closing, just no character movement

and obv the new animations for cleaning, corpse dragging and I think sitting

Praying for car doors having an animation for the door itself opening/closing I don't want another run killed due to that

[indigo bane]

not in the B42

[fiery pine]

Dang, doubt we'll see many mods in unstable either

[old flint]

The new regular door animations is gonna be interesting

[gleaming ivy]

I agree

[white marten]

Vanilla vehicles animated is great, and I'm hopeful it'll be updated for B42.

[warm pecan]

e

[broken trench]

So there’s no chance it’s coming out this weekend

?

[indigo bane]

Hard to say, everyone can have an opinion about that, personally i don't think it will happen this week end

[fiery pine]

Yeah it's the one I use, it's great to see that they're incorporating mods into the vanilla game so we'll hope to see it soon

[broken trench]

I’m still holding out for the 20th, I’m just checking

[white marten]

The vehicle animations are part of vanilla, but they weren't fully implemented (you can debug spawn a test animated vehicle) the mod just expanded it to all the vanilla vehicles. There's a sync issue with animations though, so in multiplayer you can't see the trunk open when another player opens it (also fixed with a mod..)

[vernal mauve]

18th more like

[indigo bane]

16th - 17th imo

[white marten]

I believe we will either get a release Monday, or a delay announcement Monday.

[broken trench]

Dawg if they release it during my exams im losing it 😭

[indigo bane]

It they announce a delay i don't expect it to be monday since nothing happened in the week end, they would have done the announcement on friday no ? @white marten

imagine the pleasure when you will come back home, knowing you succeeded with the exam and the update is released @broken trench

[white marten]

I don't see them releasing it anytime past Monday, just because of Christmas the week after. I imagine they'd want a week to iron out all the potential issues. But I could be completely wrong.

[indigo bane]

sincerely, i'd expect them to announce a delay before the coming week

[frank igloo]

there won't be any delay

they know what im capable of

[indigo bane]

[broken trench]

They said their goal is just to get it out

[fiery pine]

[earnest stirrup]

Nah...

Will be released on something like 19-20 th but will be released 😎

If they would cross a difficult thing to fix we would know already probably

They know what @frank igloo is cable to do...

[indigo bane]

Yes that's what i mean, if any delay should be announced it would be already announced

[earnest stirrup]

Yeee

[frank igloo]

Of course they know

That's why we getting build 42 soon

[indigo bane]

2 days imo

I already bet 100$

[earnest stirrup]

😎

[frank igloo]

dont you see the devs are really quiet when i'm here

https://tenor.com/view/dog-smile-shyboos-smile-gif-6799543775821848754

[indigo bane]

the devs

[abstract oak]

Who's your daddy?

[indigo bane]

Is his daddy right ?

[grizzled plank]

Is it you and trying to stay hidden?

[frank igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/tiktok-dog-awkward-dog-confused-awkward-confused-dog-gif-2881577801438605193

[indigo bane]

I think internal testers are validating the last changes

[indigo bane]

What is this cartoon ?

[robust shell]

Simpsons

[indigo bane]

nah

looks like american dad

[white marten]

That is kind of what I was thinking - give them the weekend and if everything is good Monday then yay release? I hope?

[mint flax]

its genndy tartakovsky's primal

[indigo bane]

probably

[teal summit]

Bruh

[frank igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/npc-behavior-be-like-gif-10607292567092564523

[indigo bane]

really different actually

[latent mulch]

makes sense though since the last thing they updated was Testing, which was last used 1 month ago probably for the testers in the last thursdoid

[indigo bane]

the thing is, could they do the testing in 4 days

since the branch testing was updated 2 days ago

[latent mulch]

it was updated last night actualy

[latent mulch]

maybe? at this point they're probably testing focused on what went wrong last time

though idk I never tested stuff, but yeah hppefully

[tawny quarry]

I had a dream where i threw someone off a helicopter and he landed head first on the roof of a spiffo’s

Please make it stop

[quiet imp]

was the room made of spiffos or were the spiffos just ontop of the roof 🤔

[tawny quarry]

god knows

[hardy wren]

I had a dream, that one day every person in this nation...

Okay, besides the MGR reference, you all have odd dreams. To be fair I don't have any dreams recently or in a while I had a dream.

[stable bison]

Ah, the Chilean Zomboid

[mild orchid]

Project.

[latent mulch]

ATTENTION ALL TROOPS
testing has been updated

[grizzled plank]

Aaanddd?

[indigo bane]

indeed

[latent mulch]

nothing

I just got nothing better to do really

[high copper]

Good morning zomboids how back are we feeling today 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[grizzled plank]

same, thanks for the update

[grizzled plank]

🫳🏽🫴🏽🤏🏽

[high copper]

Never lose hope 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[grizzled plank]

🙏🏽

[fiery pine]

Can you believe it guys build 42

[hardy wren]

Lose all hope, soon it will be our end times. Just be patient.

[fiery pine]

just a week away

[native bronze]

[proper dirge]

96 away from 10k

[fiery pine]

hell yeah

[mild orchid]

Build 42 Is pretty neat.

[latent mulch]

10k hypeee

[woeful sparrow]

so they are working on weekends...

[fiery pine]

They know we're watching Hello pz devs 👋

[mint flax]

spiffo saw/.../././..,,,.

[deep field]

Highkey hoping for this weekend
Lowkey knowing it probably wont but torturing myself by refreshing steam DB

[fiery pine]

I'm thinking the day between christmas eve ngl

or start of Jan

[deep field]

I think watching Steam DB is making it worse, cause I know it's there but behind a glass wall

[fiery pine]

I get it you can't help it when you're excited for a game you're passionate about to drop a update

[mint flax]

its my favorite game ever!!! Im so antsy brooo

[fiery pine]

the devs have got us horrendously down bad for this game man

[deep field]

The thing is, I'm most excited for B42 just to be able to live in the middle of nowhere and survive without mods

[fiery pine]

Agreed

[deep field]

Only venturing to towns when I absolutely have to, now I can actually live in peace in my little shack making spears for war c:

[fiery pine]

closet thing I could think of which gave that ability was hydrocraft but even then that mod was knowning for being terrible performance wise and even a lot of its recipes required magazines

recipes being tied to skill level in b42 is the best idea they've cooked up

[mint flax]

frrr im obsessed with blacksmithing so im just drooling to be able to smith shit

[latent storm]

I mean recipes are also already tied to skill level now

[deep field]

Crowbars?
Sword you made yourself ✅

[fiery pine]

I guess but some of the metal working, or electrical magazines aren't you gotta loot em

[deep field]

I wonder if we'll have a bow and arrow in B42 for hunting

Probably not but it'd be cool

[fiery pine]

if I could learn to use a generator with an high enough electrical or to be able to identify which mushrooms/berries are posionous based of foraging skill that's a plus for me

especially since I play with loot settings on the rarer side

[latent storm]

Towards the end of 42 development

[mint flax]

hell yeah!!!

[fiery pine]

Scrap weapons being apart of vanilla pz 👌

[deep field]

I think the problem is with B41 and one of my pet peeves (without mods) you cant make nice food with meats other than fish / rabbits / frogs. Cause that's all that exists in foraging. And a Rabbit burger probably won't fill you up so now that we can actually kill deers and butcher the meat / farm animals, we can actually make steak pies and stuff

(I know its literally just the difference from 'Rabbit Pie' to 'Meat Pie' but still)

[fiery pine]

Rabbit burger doesn't hit as hard as a beef burger

[deep field]

Since Bacon / Bread etc can't be come across unless you have loot respawn and come across canned bread / bacon (unless that's a mod I can't remember)

But bacon sandwiches are back on the menu

[fiery pine]

Wonder how they'll handle animal nutrional values since trapping used to be tied to that

[latent storm]

Husbandry is a new skill I think

[deep field]

Husband!?

ROMANCE NPCS IN ZOMBOID!?

[latent storm]

Exactly

[deep field]

Getting married to Bob in the middle of Louisville Stadium rn

[obtuse wasp]

nightly is the current test build

nightly builds condense the work done in the day (for bug fixes the likes) that got merged into it and hand it out to the current testers

[latent mulch]

oooh, fair fair

[obtuse wasp]

its effectively a constant hotfixing build that people test on

[deep field]

How'd you know this?

[obtuse wasp]

because it is very basic development 1x1

[deep field]

Ah yes, very basic.

[sly lark]

my fear is...

worst fear

[deep field]

Delayed until 2026

[obtuse wasp]

the nightly build is a scheduled build that gets automaticially built at 3 am MET

[fiery pine]

I've seen that video 💀

[sly lark]

nice try joke

[deep field]

Don't worry, we'll be on Build 48 by the time Hytale releases their game

(It's been over 5 years since announcement)

[sly lark]

its almost 3 years

but.

it might be update this months

dont know if there update like 24th or 30th

[indigo bane]

it's not up to you, it's not up to me

https://tenor.com/view/savmink-gif-21553196

[grizzled plank]

is it today?

[ember crane]

I had a dream that I was watching a comedy sketch about a poorly translated Italian movie and laughed hysterically (in the dream) at a "joke" where the narrator called America "the land of the flying sun"

[indigo bane]

Does that the update is coming ?

[ember crane]

No

[unreal sentinel]

ITS OUT

[latent mulch]

lmao
thinking now I don't think I ever laughed in a dream, must be crazy feeling

[orchid wolf]

Oh cool pats here

[earnest stirrup]

Traduced again it would be "la terra del sole volante"😂, (sun = sole)

[orchid wolf]

what’s your favorite thing you’ve done so far for b42 or just in general? @ember crane

[earnest stirrup]

Saying no every time someone ask for a relese

Or the ligma interaction

[limber quest]

testing branch got updated again (6 min ago)

[pine musk]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[stable bison]

That's just the TIS team loading up the game to play by themselves on a server and decide if the masses are really worthy of the masterpiece they created.

Blood sacrifices must be made to prove our worthiness to the gods so that they may pressure TIS to releasing B42.

[high copper]

if i gave indie stone my firstborn child, would that be enough to get me access to b42? what about secondborn? How many children do you guys need

[eager wyvern]

I was about to say Tetris...

But I couldn't give explanations on how this game can be improved....

[latent mulch]

tetris 3d

[eager wyvern]

That is still Tetris though

True 3D would be the game Tetrisphere, or Wetrix.

[high copper]

Petz Catz 2 for the Wii and PS2

[eager wyvern]

You mean Nintendogs & Cats

[high copper]

That's a good one too, but Petz Catz 2 is still peak

Also: Littlest Pet Shop for the PC and DS

[indigo bane]

funny

[frank igloo]

ok i'm done waiting i'm just gonna recreate B42 and play it myself

[high copper]

Okie ^-^

[indigo bane]

That's the best thing to do

when update ? when update ? when update ? when update ? when update ? @frank igloo

[frank igloo]

not this month i still have a lot to do

[high copper]

Feel like I've been waiting 3 years for the update jetrox.

[frank igloo]

i know but its gonna be worth it

[fiery pine]

In 2 decades we will get the build 40+ tier list

[indigo bane]

i'd say 3
