WhatZ Next

[hardy wren]

I don't think many people would be willing to do surgary on themselves in frist place in PZ. I mean, just see how their value of their character's life drops moment they get fracture or bitten.

[latent mulch]

12k hypeeee

[compact shadow]

doing it with less than perfect first aid skill will probably most likely lead to death

[tawdry gull]

ik

thats why i dont think it would be a feature in the game, but it would be really interesting for MP

[compact shadow]

perhaps something for modders

[tawdry gull]

yeah i could see that

[raw yarrow]

Honestly, then only feature i want next for PZ is for water to be interactive, and my character be able to swim

[quiet imp]

[tawdry gull]

that would be cool, boats

boat houses

[compact shadow]

the game could definitely use some more atmosphere

[tawdry gull]

i think this update will help with that alot

birds would be another massive help to that

[silk thorn]

I would love fat big zombies with more durability

[compact shadow]

between b42 and birds it would do a lot, yeah

[raw yarrow]

Really immersive breaking when i driving full speed at the river but the car just crashes like the water is a wall

[tawdry gull]

is there an option to manually change gears in pz?

[compact shadow]

how often do you do this

[orchid wolf]

I wish

[tawdry gull]

that would be cool, didnt think it was in the game

[raw yarrow]

a lot lol

[compact shadow]

wouldn't most of those cars have automatic gearboxes anyway?

[hardy wren]

Well, if you want so. It is very much static, though I guess I would prefer if the shallowness of water would be introduced first. Not exactly height elevation, just different water types, so it is not all deep rivers.

[silk thorn]

Now that's really getting detailed 😭

[tawdry gull]

not sure about 90's cars

[tawdry gull]

but like not really

and you could have it a setting like arma if you have played

you can toggle automatic switching

[silk thorn]

Well yeah if it was optional that's good

[tawdry gull]

yeah i wouldnt want to force it on people

[compact shadow]

the cooking system is the thing i bring up the most to non zomboid players when trying to convey the detail in the game

[silk thorn]

I wanna be able to become a gourmet chef

[tawdry gull]

any updates to cooking in B42?

cooking is so much fun in this game and i dont know why

[compact shadow]

i wouldn't know

[silk thorn]

Yeah I hope wheat and bread making is in build 42 I'm pretty sure it is

[tawdry gull]

didnt know if i missed something in the devblogs

[compact shadow]

i vividly remember making cake batter once and being upset as hell to learn you can't make muffins with cake batter

[fallen phoenix]

i mean we will have fresh farm ingredients

[tawny quarry]

If you're unlucky b44 is already out when you wake up

[silk thorn]

I hope build 43 comes out before the birth of my first child

[fallen phoenix]

oh no, no one wants that...

[compact shadow]

raw milk

[tawdry gull]

B43 will come out after B44

[fallen phoenix]

u can pasteurize milk at home. kinda

[junior arrow]

with all this waiting for b42, i dont think they can live up to the hype. time for build 420

[tawdry gull]

was bouta ask bout that

we getting fresh milk, bacteria and all

[silk thorn]

I would build a time machine just to see build 50 😭

[hardy wren]

They won't. Unless you just want better performance, like me.

[compact shadow]

by build 50 zomboid will have a 1:1 scale replica of the entirety of kentucky

[tawdry gull]

thats not in our lifetimes pal

[junior arrow]

lets just say, in the future we wont need build 50 to experience the apocalypse

[fallen phoenix]

i only use uht milk u sososo cannot make that at home

[silk thorn]

My great grandkids wll be able to experience complete zomboid 😭

[hardy wren]

Will they?

[silk thorn]

I hope so Jesus Christ 😭

[tawdry gull]

pz will accidentally start a cult of the corn aliens and will really start the apocalypse

[silk thorn]

Spiffos the alien

And he infected the corn🤯

[tawdry gull]

thats official lore from the devs

[latent storm]

Jesus the haters decided to show up today lol

[hardy wren]

Nah, Knox event is just mutated flu. Don't trust these conspiracy theorists called devs.

[fallen phoenix]

on a fuckin sundayyy 😭

how abt everyone just goes back to their jobs & we forget all of this ever happened

[tawdry gull]

what could the devs possibly know

[silk thorn]

We are just kidding around, no disrespect to the hard working devs 😭

[latent storm]

Release the zombie game update now!!!!! Stop enjoying ur Sunday@!!!!!#!

[hollow pasture]

Where?

[silk thorn]

It was because of the demons who infected the squirrels

Trust

[hollow pasture]

I trust your scholarly work

[latent storm]

I do hope they never reveal the true origin of the virus

[tawdry gull]

maybe god is just a member of an advanced race of space fairing beings who can create new creatures from dna

[latent storm]

I like the ambiguity

[quiet imp]

no where, at least not in this chat. the guy is fighting his own demons

[hollow pasture]

Are the haters in the room with us right now⁉️⁉️

[fallen phoenix]

iirc the plan is to have an "official" origin & then build theories around it & never tell us which one is true lol

[latent storm]

I like that

[fallen phoenix]

but we know it was those spiffo burgies

[hardy wren]

You guys should stop taking schizo trait. What demons? What haters? Jeez, next time you respawn in this world make better build.

[silk thorn]

Yeah they messed with the meat lol

Mutated mad cow disease

[fallen phoenix]

its either that or an act of god

[raw yarrow]

the qu, from all tomorrows

[silk thorn]

The qu made the zomboid!!!!🤯🤯🤯

[hardy wren]

Nah, it was just all project. Zomboid.

[silk thorn]

It was just all a project…

[tawdry gull]

exactly my thoughts

[silk thorn]

A project ZOMBOID

[raw yarrow]

it was the Project named Zomboid

[silk thorn]

Is it 25% zomboid and 75% project?

[raw yarrow]

The Zomboid Project

[tawdry gull]

zomject promzoid

[fallen phoenix]

way to go survivor, u rly were the project zomboid...

[hollow pasture]

This has been a project zomboid 💥

[silk thorn]

The zomboid was the friends we made along the way

[hardy wren]

It was highly successful as you can see, we devolved. As society was heading that way for many years, Project Zomboid accelerated the end, the ends times to it's logical extreme.

[silk thorn]

😭😭😭😭😭

[fallen phoenix]

i was less than friendly with those zomboids. i projected onto them too much

[silk thorn]

They call me… MR zomboid..

[raw yarrow]

Maybe the Zomboid is a Projection from a higher dimension...

[hollow pasture]

linkin park as credits roll

[silk thorn]

😭😭😭

[hardy wren]

But the projection of what? Of a future?

[raw yarrow]

We will never know... (mistery music starts playing)

[hardy wren]

I guess to find out, we need to turn into zomboid. It shall be our project.

[silk thorn]

the zomboid was the secret side of me.. I could never let out

They could say zomboid was my middle name..

[latent storm]

The project maybe was zomboid we along the made we

[tawdry gull]

all project no zomboid

[silk thorn]

Guys are we kind of some Project Zomboid?

[hollow pasture]

We need a name for this experiment. This project if you will

[hardy wren]

No, we are not kind, we are the Project Zomboid.

[silk thorn]

Luke I am your zomboid

[hollow pasture]

[frank igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/monkewait-gorilla-eating-meme-monke-siegemonkewait-gorilla-wait-gif-22185671

[fallen phoenix]

once upon a time, there was a project... named zomboid

[silk thorn]

🤯

One time I got bit by a radioactive zomboid, now they call me.. ZOMBOID MAN

[hollow pasture]

One project to rule them all

[bright python]

maybe the real zomboids were the friends we made along the way

[abstract oak]

Soul Filcher is a billionaire in disguise

[hollow pasture]

You’re telling me that a project zomboid this man?

[fallen phoenix]

*record scratch* yep, thats me. ur probably wondering how i got in this project zomboid

[silk thorn]

HAHAHAHAHAH YES

[compact shadow]

soul filcher exists within pz lore

[silk thorn]

Lets go back where it all projected.. Where the first zomboid became

[fallen phoenix]

im so fucking tired im guessing that means i did the joke right 👍

[latent storm]

Has anyone made a shitty mobile game ad for zomboid yet

[silk thorn]

Mobile zomboid

[hollow pasture]

Level 1 shambles vs level 50 sprinter

[bright python]

the first game to make a mobillion dollars

[fallen phoenix]

see that fucks me uphow most ppl dont know the zombie game u see in those weird mobile game ads is literally just project zomboid

[silk thorn]

I got 50 MILLION Spiffos in Rise of Zomboids!!!

[latent storm]

Zombillion dollars

[fallen phoenix]

welcome. to zomboidcom.

[hardy wren]

That's no longer mobile ad meta. You need to do something weird like inflated zomboid or something.

[hollow pasture]

If you can kill one zombie you are legally skilled❗️⚠️❗️⚠️❗️

[silk thorn]

Now we will be talking about our sponsor: Raid Zomboid Legends..

[hardy wren]

Anime dating sim, but zomboid.

[silk thorn]

Me and my zomboid

[orchid wolf]

You can already date the zombies

Just be careful

[hollow pasture]

Use code NEVER42 for an exclusive hero!!

[latent storm]

They already wanna kiss you

[deep wing]

Ok I don't mind waiting anymore

[tawdry gull]

kinky zombies

[hollow pasture]

They come on a bit strong I won’t lie

[fallen phoenix]

i hope ur into biting 🤷

[hollow pasture]

I can adjust

[silk thorn]

When the zomboid bites me on the groin 😈

[tawdry gull]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cute-food-eating-cat-eating-gif-1320502635529344444

[hollow pasture]

Worth

[abstract oak]

Yes, Ganeshafell down to Earth on a metor and opened a cursed ramen box

[bright python]

pandora's ramen cup

[fallen phoenix]

official pz lore goes hard...

[hollow pasture]

Checks out

[silk thorn]

Is it true that spiffo is an alien

The all knowing soul filcher

[hollow pasture]

He’s probably the god of the zomboid universe

Make it go the Undead Nightmare route and make spiffo an awakened deity that punishes the world for disrupting his slumber

[fallen phoenix]

also ive always interpreted the groin biting to be more clinical. kinda like getting an exam not everyone who touches ur junk is there for intimate reasons. but thats not mutually exclusive with whatever project uve got going with ur zomboid

[tawdry gull]

Plot twist, instead of this is how you die, its this is how you wake up and you awake from a coma apon death

[hardy wren]

Are you implying that we are anti zombie, one could call that zomboid?

[fallen phoenix]

this is how i awoke in the same world a few minutes later in an entirely different house 2 cities away

[hollow pasture]

The player character is an android zombie since combined it makes zomboid, so that’s why we’re immune

[silk thorn]

We are only immune to the airborne version of Knox infection

[abstract oak]

Spiffo might be an alien, if birds can be aliens that is.

[white marten]

Do we know where the devs will announce the release? Like will they push the release then announce it or announce it then push the release?

[bright python]

birds aren't real

[silk thorn]

Birds are made up by the government 😭

[tawdry gull]

is that why zomboid has none? the bird bots couldnt recharge?

[abstract oak]

Aren't they? Or..... maybe they are, but not of the reasons you think

[tawdry gull]

is spiffo a flightless bird?

[hardy wren]

Yeah, somehow they are immune. Yet, so few people. No, this is a conspiracy. We aren't human in Project Zomboid. There is no history of our character. Somehow we are in someone's house despite having nothing to arm against zombies.

[bright python]

power shuts off, "birds" can't recharge on the wires

[hardy wren]

Truly end times.

[tawdry gull]

THATS WHY THEY CAN SIT ON POWERLINES AND NOT ZAP!

it makes sense now, the dots are connecting

[silk thorn]

Yes yes yes our theories are coming to fruition..

[bright python]

https://tenor.com/view/tinfoil-hat-gif-19189292

[abstract oak]

The dots and the lines.... it is all in morse code.

[hollow pasture]

Please bird strikes build 42

[silk thorn]

Maybe the quote on quote birds are from the secret zomboid government watching our every move

[tawdry gull]

..../. are in the message just sent, it means H E

He, who is he!?

Mr project? Spiffo?

[hardy wren]

John

[silk thorn]

How do they know the future??? How do they know that we will die?

[hollow pasture]

Doctor P. Zomboid told them

[abstract oak]

It is all written

[tawdry gull]

June 16th 2057, is it correct?

[bright python]

did y'all ever catch the 28 years later trailer teaser? and the trailer itself?

[tawdry gull]

this will bring it all together

[silk thorn]

Yeah I thought it was very good

The poem and everything

[hardy wren]

That's just goverment propaganda to take our attention from Project Zomboid.

[bright python]

the teaser trailer morse coded "tuesday," boots poem in the trailer, 10/10

[deep wing]

what if you stopped reading into the future and read into the present (like dropping B42)

[white marten]

I did not - but I have high expectations of the movie,.

[abstract oak]

No, that's the date for the other ǝɯos, not you

[silk thorn]

THE ZOMBOID MULTIVERSE??

[tawdry gull]

god damn it! That guy keeps on doing that

[hardy wren]

No, Zomboid Zomboid.

MultiZomboid.

[silk thorn]

I can't wait for the sequel, Zomboid Project

[bright python]

2 project 2 zomboid

[silk thorn]

Project Zomboid 2: Its Zomboiding Time

[abstract oak]

It drops..... and out of shame, you don't come back admitting youwere wrong.

[covert loom]

imagine we dont get build 42 unstable in 2024 lol

[deep wing]

This is exactly what I'll do

[silk thorn]

Project Zomboid: The zomboid strikes back

[fallen phoenix]

imagine something worthwhile like peace on earth

[tawdry gull]

new code, hinting at release date for B42?? 5 E maybe 5 epoch maybe

[deep wing]

Cannot wait to be proven wrong

[covert loom]

Project development instead of project zomboid

[deep wing]

hexadecimal?

[abstract oak]

We can see that.

[mint flax]

5e.... 5th edition.... tis x wizards of the coast collab?

pz dnd update

[silk thorn]

😭

[bright python]

zomboid breaks into your home, roll initiative

[fallen phoenix]

[tawdry gull]

Press the big red button, do it

its okay

[deep wing]

5E is 94 in base 10,

94 hours till release?

[tawdry gull]

hmmm, possible

[deep wing]

94 seconds? minutes?

[silk thorn]

[tawdry gull]

Funfact, the state is based on the game

[hollow pasture]

Good

[silk thorn]

Yep

Just like how France was based on ratatouille

[orchid wolf]

Yall think they’re going to put a new steam video out when b42 drops?

[mild orchid]

i cant wait till they add the entire world to Project omboid

[tawdry gull]

surely

[tawdry gull]

say it, you know you want to

[bright python]

can't believe they made france a real thing after that movie

[orchid wolf]

The rat inspired all things France

[silk thorn]

Yeah its actually so cool

Not today people, not today, go buy groceries

No, my time is: Today

[silk thorn]

Soul Fulcher please filch your soul so they update comes out sooner 🥺

[tawdry gull]

i dont know what to beleive, time is more confusing than other languages as someone in australia

[abstract oak]

That is simple to solve, if you live in Australia your time is Tomorrow, not Today

[tawdry gull]

but i am today

[silk thorn]

Time isn't real its a concept made up by zomboid 🙄

[tawdry gull]

looks like today to me

[bright python]

but today is yesterday's tomorrow

[abstract oak]

You see, that's actually tomorrow

[tawdry gull]

it doesnt lie

[abstract oak]

You can't believe all you see in the internet

[tawdry gull]

what about a stone tablet?

[silk thorn]

Enough filching, soul

[tawdry gull]

a rune even

I will now go find a rat from a foreign country and eat it

Indiana jones and the lost release of build 42

[hardy wren]

You people are hyped about a build 42? How about giving some love to build 41.

That one is in desperate need of unmodded care.

[tawdry gull]

Im done with B41, dead to me

[velvet mountain]

my sources told me b43 is going to drop after b42 but before b44

[tawdry gull]

nah B44 is next

[silk thorn]

Same bro I can't even touch it right now I've outplayed it

I'm just waiting

[native bronze]

how we doin'?

[hardy wren]

There is no doing.

[bright python]

[hardy wren]

Go sleep and you might wake up to the glory of B dividable by 2, unlikely however.

[white marten]

That reminds me of the OG trailer - but I don't think it's around anywhere.

[teal summit]

[silk thorn]

all we can do is wait

I hope bears are a mod in the future

[orchid wolf]

I’m so excited for all the new newspapers and articles we can actually read for b42. I’m gonna spend days collecting them all

I can't wait to mix bleach with water and kill my friends

[teal summit]

reminding you that it was delayed more than 3 times

[compact shadow]

sounds like tomorrow to me

[mint flax]

tomorrow certainly is not today

[silk thorn]

I'll have one 42 please

Leave the zomboids

[grizzled plank]

Would you want some sprinkled b43 news on it?

[white marten]

So you're saying we should buy groceries... So we don't have to leave for groceries once the game is released? Release confirmed for tomorrow?

[silk thorn]

Yes please

[grizzled plank]

Coming right up

hopefully before christmas.

[silk thorn]

Shit

I'm going to go grab some sonic.

[high copper]

im getting olive garden later :)

[proper dirge]

I can imagine someone recreating the 'this is sparta' scene from the movie 300, now that the level height is 64

[white marten]

I have to run to the grocery store tomorrow 😭 Hopefully I come back to a release! (tomorrow after grocery)

[silk thorn]

The build limit????

[proper dirge]

Yeah

[silk thorn]

64 floors?

[proper dirge]

Yep, it was said in a reddit post

[silk thorn]

Wow

[proper dirge]

The makers said

[silk thorn]

We need parachutes

[high copper]

ok while a monday or tuesday release would be peak. part of me is hoping b42 doesnt drop until i finish my school semester on wednesday :,) need to lock in properly on my finals. or else the zomboids will be chasing me the entire time

damn sorry to totally nuke the chat with that

[silk thorn]

Nah we are getting it December 24 11:59:59

[tawny quarry]

Fuck it’s coming out the 17th

[high copper]

fuck my lifeeeeeeee

i have a date on tuesday. AND an exam. guess im canceling both

anything for spiffo

[tawny quarry]

You should always date spiffo, over anyone else

[high copper]

shit i didnt even consider that. omw

[silk thorn]

The all knowing spiffo

[mortal kernel]

so? why sad?

[silk thorn]

Imagine if they added trains

That would actually be so cool

[tawny quarry]

I added it for dramatic effect

[indigo bane]

Imagine if they added GTA6 in project zomboid

[abstract oak]

32 and -32, so unless someone decides to align an elevator shaft all the way through there's no way to fall 64 floors

[fallen phoenix]

someone will tho

[silk thorn]

Wait soul is elevators functional now

[fallen phoenix]

u spoke it into existence

[high copper]

honestly idk which will come out first at this point

[tawny quarry]

Wait that’s actually a great question

[abstract oak]

And hopefully record it

[fallen phoenix]

rare!

[indigo bane]

All i know is that Scrap Mechanic CH2 will come after both

[abstract oak]

No.

[fallen phoenix]

on it, boss o7

[silk thorn]

[indigo bane]

this thread will be remembered

[silk thorn]

Yes it will

Do these get shut down every Thursdoid

[grizzled plank]

Yes

[mortal kernel]

they get locked once a new one is created

[tawny quarry]

Yes

[silk thorn]

Oh alright

[tawny quarry]

If it gets locked, we’ll know why

[silk thorn]

Build 42 🥲

[mortal kernel]

first a new one should appear before this one is locked

[karmic glade]

They updated testing branch again I feel like that’s a good sign

[tawny quarry]

There’s more hype around b42 than if christ’s return would’ve been announced

[indigo bane]

i don't like that

[fallen phoenix]

theres gonna be someone here who doesnt read thursdoids at all & doesnt know why

[silk thorn]

Whats that mean

[native bronze]

Yeah it mean it needs more testing

[fallen phoenix]

coding

[indigo bane]

@native bronze yes indeed, maybe

[karmic glade]

It took a month between updates on that branch before I think quick iteration means close

[indigo bane]

ye it means close but not tomorrow @karmic glade

[fallen phoenix]

yes. we r close

[latent mulch]

keep talking folks were gonna reach 13k by tomorrow morning

[native bronze]

I can SMELL it

[tawny quarry]

I’m saying it’s the 17th

[fallen phoenix]

surely we can do sooner than that

[indigo bane]

my mom told me they release the update at 42k msg

[karmic glade]

17th was in pats cryptic apocalyptic wiki articles he sent

[silk thorn]

Auauau we just need unstable

[tawny quarry]

Yes

[indigo bane]

21th no ? @karmic glade

[silk thorn]

17

[karmic glade]

17, 21, 31

[fallen phoenix]

my uncle who works at nintendo told me he doesnt know what project zomboid is

[indigo bane]

It will be ready when it's ready, but when is it ready ?

[indigo bane]

nintendo sucks

[silk thorn]

You just answered the question

[fallen phoenix]

when u arent

[fallen phoenix]

im gonna tell my uncle who works at nintendo & u will never splatoon in this town again

[silk thorn]

The zomboid brain rot is getting to me all I can think about is the numbers 42

[indigo bane]

i just fear how my heart would react to the annoucement of the release / delay

[mortal kernel]

the depots from testing branch can be moved to unstable anytime, updating that branch means nothing, same with nightly, si etc

[silk thorn]

I would go into cardiac arrest lol

[tawny quarry]

Instant heart attack

[indigo bane]

ye nightly is automatic i think

[tawny quarry]

You’re not surviving

[fallen phoenix]

hopefully it never comes out so no one will die 🙏

[mortal kernel]

nightly is automated backup for si

[native bronze]

Pushing changes and deploying without testing is bad practice tho

[silk thorn]

🤪🤪🤪🤪

[indigo bane]

or it comes out as the B41 remastered so we don't notice the update @fallen phoenix

[teal summit]

nham

[silk thorn]

Where do you get that from

[mortal kernel]

they are testing the hell out of it

[indigo bane]

you know maybe the release is ready and these update are for later update

[silk thorn]

Where did you find that

[mortal kernel]

those depots can be moved from one branch to the other as they see fit and that doesn't mean anything for us

[native bronze]

[indigo bane]

steam db

[teal summit]

steamdb

[silk thorn]

K 🙂 thanks

[teal summit]

[indigo bane]

you'll get crazy with this website bro

don't start looking

[mortal kernel]

b42 is there in those depots, just encrypted 😉

[silk thorn]

Someone decrypt it!!!

[teal summit]

i imagined

[silk thorn]

Jk

[indigo bane]

ye, but surely not in testing branch

[silk thorn]

How much do you think the size of the update will be

[mortal kernel]

click on those branches and see what's inside

[silk thorn]

Storage wize

[indigo bane]

you can't

i mean it's not in plain text

[teal summit]

i am 100% sure most of those branches are just teasing us

[silk thorn]

I knowwww

These are the endtimes

Get out of here you filthy spy

[teal summit]

before 20 days ago, there wasnt 8 of those branches

[mortal kernel]

nope, each has it's own use for them

[silk thorn]

Etc

[teal summit]

build 42 was being worked on for over 2 years

[indigo bane]

tomorow evening will be hard

[silk thorn]

Someone get made in heaven to speed up time so we get the release

[mortal kernel]

I wish you good luck cracking that 😛

[teal summit]

its not like suddenly they will need to have 10 different branches for "testing pourposes"

[silk thorn]

Yeah its pretty suspicious

I'm hyped though

[teal summit]

actually

[mortal kernel]

they don't create branches to tease the community......

[teal summit]

its 13 branches in 20 days

after that is a whole lot of teasing

[silk thorn]

I'm mostly hyped for build 42 and subnautica 2 this year and next year auaua

[teal summit]

its not what they used to do until now

[teal summit]

honestly i am only hyped for zomboid lmao

[silk thorn]

I have 750 hours rn that will double in the span of next month

[teal summit]

the ONLY thing i am hyped for

[teal summit]

i have almost 500 hours

[silk thorn]

Cool :0

[mortal kernel]

well it's not in si cauz that's the main internal build

[indigo bane]

i have 500 hours since 2015, i'ill get 1500 hours in one month

[silk thorn]

Epic

I am hopping on with the boys when multiplayer releases

[teal summit]

i don't even think there is 1500 hours in a month lmao

[silk thorn]

750 is one month

[indigo bane]

i'ill do it, don't worry

[silk thorn]

I calculated when I reached that

[teal summit]

playing on multiple acounts at the same time for efficiency

[silk thorn]

build 42 pleaseee

I'm keeping my eyes glued to steamdb now 😭

[indigo bane]

playing at the speed of light so that time will dilate

[teal summit]

its better to look at the discord

[deep wing]

3.9 days until B42

[teal summit]

they will 100% ping it in #blogs_n_teases

[indigo bane]

1 day dude, start being optimistic

[silk thorn]

Oh alright

[deep wing]

Soul flitcher teased us with morse code

[silk thorn]

I'm going to dance when it comes out

[deep wing]

'....' which translated to 5E, which if you convert to hexadecimal and then to base 10, comes to 94, I'm assuming that means 94 hours. and 94 hours to days is 3.9 days

[silk thorn]

Woah

[deep wing]

It's right there

[silk thorn]

19?

[indigo bane]

19 what

[silk thorn]

The day

[indigo bane]

oh

[deep wing]

yeah the 19 of december

[indigo bane]

what time ?

[teal summit]

i am going to play it lmao

[deep wing]

or the 20th

probably the 20th

[indigo bane]

friday uh

[orchid wolf]

Hell yeah

[deep wing]

since the message was after lunchtime and 0.9 of a day is over 12hours, I'm guesing the 20th

[silk thorn]

Elevators need functionality in stable release 🥺

[deep wing]

which lines up with my original prediction of the 20th, as it would be 2 (iirc) years exactly after b41 release

[silk thorn]

Iirc?

[deep wing]

if I remember correctly

[silk thorn]

Oh alr

[indigo bane]

anyway it won't be for today, good evening everyone

[deep wing]

But soul flitcher basically gave us a release date

[silk thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-sad-guts-guts-berserk-warrior-gif-21773483

[latent mulch]

WHRWE QHWRW WHERE

[silk thorn]

Morse code

[latent mulch]

GIVEME

[deep wing]

scroll up a bit, I explained it all

[deep wing]

From here down @latent mulch

[latent mulch]

could be something up on the links Pat sent earlier about predictions and disasters

[silk thorn]

I haven't been this hyped in forever

[obtuse wasp]

where do i get what the people are smoking here

[indigo bane]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[silk thorn]

What if we did all this just for it to come out next year 😭

[proper dirge]

Guess someone could make an bigass mining operation set with one of those big mobile diggers with a deep pit

[mortal kernel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1311774499712274452/1317926995279089664/kZgmqy.gif

[silk thorn]

We need procedural caving to be added then

[mortal kernel]

seems legit to use that

[proper dirge]

Uhh... was thinking more like a modded map if they don't add that, not trying to turn it into a hardcore minecraft.

[mortal kernel]

learned from a master 😛

[silk thorn]

Yeah.

[mortal kernel]

Soul Filcher.....The Morse Coder

[silk thorn]

Someone @ me if they learn anything about build 42 release 😫

[indigo bane]

I could knock at your door if you want me to

[white marten]

@silk thorn I just learned B42 is not coming today

[abstract oak]

No.

[silk thorn]

Morse code

[deep wing]

Err, you did, it's set in stone now

'....' which translated to 5E, which if you convert to hexadecimal and then to base 10, comes to 94, I'm assuming that means 94 hours. and 94 hours to days is 3.9 days

[mortal kernel]

written with fire in stone forever known as the dev who morse coded the release date of b42

[orchid wolf]

You forgot to sha-256 hash it too

Your decryption method is also missing server key validation

[abstract oak]

Billy.... It's okay Billy, you don'thave a release date and it's okay. Let it go Billy

[indigo bane]

all the theory is collasping

[deep wing]

You all wait and see

[silk thorn]

No 🥲

[deep wing]

20th of december

[silk thorn]

I hope billy is right

[indigo bane]

you know that they will probably change the release date because of this focus on the 20th @deep wing

you know them !

[mortal kernel]

the Farseer has spoken ! 20th of December !!

[latent mulch]

billy billy why did it translated to E? here only translated to 5-H

which could also be 5 hours?

or 5 days, the 20

[mortal kernel]

that's it I'm grabbing popcorn

[indigo bane]

sugar, salt ? @mortal kernel

[silk thorn]

Same I'm starving

[deep wing]

They'll release it tomorrow or after the new year because of all this speculation

[latent mulch]

I think it's in 5 hours

[orchid wolf]

Your so close to cracking the main frame

[latent mulch]

..... ....

5 h

[mortal kernel]

ok popcorn for everybody

[latent mulch]

could also be 4

[deep wing]

Soul flitcher confirmed (actually) not today

[compact shadow]

if they release it tomorrow i will vow to never be impatient again

[latent mulch]

so 54 hours = 2,24 days, = 17

[orchid wolf]

I feel like it’s gonna be the 18th

[tawny quarry]

Oof goodluck with b43

[latent mulch]

I bet it's 54 hours, which means the 17th, LETS GO BILLY

[latent mulch]

definelly the 17th them

[silk thorn]

Build 44 come out before 43

[deep wing]

I'm not even excited for b43, NPC's seem like a hassle and don't add much that I'm interested in, into the game

[woeful sparrow]

Same

[hardy wren]

Making promises you cannot make, funny.

[deep wing]

unless its becomes an endgame 'citybuilder' type thing, I'm not bothered

[mortal kernel]

:))))

[deep wing]

I suppose the NPC's working independently against you, and it's a dynamic self creating faction system, which would be revolutionary

[latent mulch]

2:56 AM on December 18, 2024. (On UK time)

[compact shadow]

i was unsure when i first played zomboid (i played it very briefly years ago, got confused and then got into it well into build 41) and it turns out it was may 2017

[deep wing]

I think he's right

[woeful sparrow]

Maybe it will be tomorrow

[hardy wren]

Well, current implementations seen before including mods were barebones in first place. So, I guess on subject of NPCs you would have to wait.
Though, I can see major inclusion and in aspect of another active threat outside of zombies. As zombies will be more concentrated in cities than anywhere else.

[compact shadow]

im very skeptical about npcs

[mortal kernel]

why?

[compact shadow]

i dont know how theyre gonna fit into the feel of zomboid

[silk thorn]

Npc mods will be more advance since animals are basically dumb npcs

[snow nimbus]

They said rimworld is very much an influence for NPCs

[mortal kernel]

have you tried bandits day one?

[compact shadow]

i havent

[hardy wren]

Bandits do not feel as part of zomboid really. It lacks a lot in terms of simulation or at least I think.

[mortal kernel]

it changes dramatically the early game

[compact shadow]

i love the "where is everyone?" feel of zomboid

[mortal kernel]

you will get that after the initial chaos

[hardy wren]

I think you will be able to recreate it with sandbox.

[latent mulch]

can't wait for NPCs to get added and to remove all the zombies

[latent mulch]

just a freaking day 0 forever The sims vibes

[silk thorn]

It'll be Kentucky life simulator

[latent mulch]

buy groceries, work, yessss KENTUCKY SIMULATOR

[compact shadow]

and the inclusion of npcs will almost certainly mean the inclusion of factions with set motivations and goals and ideas and thus any goals the player sets themselves will invariably interact with that and idk man

[hardy wren]

I don't think that will be case. Day 1 of Zomboid is already full swing apocalypse.

[compact shadow]

im not too peeved though, if theyre not for me i can always turn them off

the sandbox settings are one of the big reasons i love the indie stone

dont like a feature? turn it off

[silk thorn]

I feel like npcs should be rare

[compact shadow]

think something feels unbalanced? change some variables

[silk thorn]

And not show up until weeks after

[latent mulch]

yeap, the best feeling of PZ

[compact shadow]

i personally turn off the helicopter event

[latent mulch]

so many sandbox options, so many different ways to play the game, endless possibilites together with mods

[hardy wren]

Not gonna lie, I would appreciate for them to have aim settings and preference gun settings. I don't want to go up against full armed gang or at least always.

[compact shadow]

i increase zombie pop and turn them from fast shamblers to shamblers, and i do saliva only

[latent mulch]

niceee, I prefeer the shamblers too

[compact shadow]

proper romero zombies

[latent mulch]

I do like to set their skills to random though, I wish we had more randomness on that

[compact shadow]

with build 42 ill prolly play with even higher zombie pops since they wont overwhelm me too much outside the major settlements

[latent mulch]

yesss

[gaunt phoenix]

From the looks of it, b42 lets us have shamblers and fast shamblers at the same time without installing Random Zombies

[latent mulch]

oooo yummy

[compact shadow]

very nice

[latent mulch]

AAAH can't wait to spawn in muldraugh and run straight to the little farm

[compact shadow]

i never ever ever play with sprinters and i dont see the appeal personally

[latent mulch]

hope there's cows there

[mortal kernel]

I think sprinters have a percentage on the sandbox settings like fast shamblers with 10% sprinters

that was teased

[compact shadow]

lemme see if i can find my default early game base location rq

[latent mulch]

I do wish we could pick a random city to spawn though, would be nice

[hardy wren]

... one nightmare scenario came in my head about NPCs. Sprinting fire arm armed combine AI level NPCs.

[latent mulch]

like just click RANDOM

[compact shadow]

riverside farm my beloved

[latent mulch]

ooooh yes it's a cool one too

[compact shadow]

if it had a well it wouldnt be relegated to an early game base

[latent mulch]

Doens't beat Muldraugh's one though>

[compact shadow]

i leave there pretty quickly usually

[latent mulch]

it has a lake pretty next to it

[compact shadow]

i like spawning in riverside because its super easy

[latent mulch]

it's a really nice city, yeah

[compact shadow]

its got most of the essentials and i have a routine there

but god i hate the trailer park there

[latent mulch]

now real question though, do y'all prefeer map all unlocked or locked?

[mortal kernel]

you mean enabled ? yes, I use it

[latent mulch]

I mean like the whole map being locked when ya read a map or walk through or just all of it already cleared

worded it wrong

[mortal kernel]

map no, but minimap yes

[hardy wren]

unlocked, I am too meta-maxing for roleplay, I would look up the online map eventually.

[latent mulch]

lol yeah it's harsh

I like locked map and clear as you walk BUT IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH NOT CLEARING THE ENTIRE MAP

hurts

[hardy wren]

I guess it would serve as a good motivator to explore.

Still I don't trust myself to not look up online map.

[silk thorn]

Does anyone get the minimap glitch where it doesn't work

[mortal kernel]

hmm Winter Sales starts thursday

[silk thorn]

We must convince people to buy zomboid

[hardy wren]

Winter Sales do not matter.

[mortal kernel]

b42 will convince them

[hardy wren]

They are temporary. Project Zomboid is eternal.

[mortal kernel]

:))))

maybe for you they don't

[hardy wren]

As I said, they don't matter.

[mortal kernel]

for TIS they matter

[silk thorn]

Zomboid is a one in a life time experience it is very good

[hardy wren]

B42's contribution will overwhelm sales, winter sales are just 1% of what it will contribute to player base.

It was revealed in my dream.

[silk thorn]

Valid

[woeful sparrow]

It's not like you can only play it once

[mortal kernel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1311774499712274452/1317926995279089664/kZgmqy.gif

[silk thorn]

I mean like

[silk thorn]

I'm just saying its a very good experience

[hardy wren]

Yeah, Project Zomboid is amazing experience to casual first timer, dying to first tutorial zombie.

[native bronze]

then why does it say this?]

[woeful sparrow]

i dont know

[hardy wren]

Well, we have concept of reincarnation.

Who says death is the finale?

[snow nimbus]

I ❤️ TIGS

[indigo bane]

I would like the game to be deleted from your steam account after you die

So you don't make stupid error in your game

[hardy wren]

Not enough.

[indigo bane]

Also you have to pay a tax to the studio

And you have to die in real life

[hardy wren]

Still not enough, the game should vac ban your account.

[indigo bane]

Too harsh

[hardy wren]

Before you die of course, so you can cry on bed before you turn into zomboid.

[silk thorn]

You should have a chip installed in your head and if you die you explode

[indigo bane]

Now we agree

B43 maybe

[gentle stag]

hey guys

nothing new?

[hardy wren]

nothing

just crickets
Zomboid crickets

[silk thorn]

Cricket zomboids

[hardy wren]

Crickety zombo bots

[silk thorn]

Zomoidys

[indigo bane]

Project Sleepoid time

[silk thorn]

Me when sleep

[fiery pine]

Anyone know if blacksmithing will be apart of the unstable releases?

I want to make 500 spoons

[silk thorn]

Yes I'm pretty sure it will be

Its one of the core features

[fiery pine]

Excellent

[white marten]

The launch list for B42 includes pottery and blacksmith tech trees

[vivid apex]

Can anyone clarify for me- there will be pre-existing machines on the map that can be used for production right?

[silk thorn]

Yup

[vivid apex]

I remember a video about using machines to make your own bottled soda

[silk thorn]

The electrical ones

[vivid apex]

Fucking nice

[silk thorn]

Electrical ones cantbe crafted

But you can find them on the map

[vivid apex]

What do you guys think about that change where you cant go around destroying the map furtniture for XP in metalworking/carpentry?

[silk thorn]

I'm definitely gonna be the black smother or animal guy of my group 😭

[vivid apex]

I feel like thats a good step but people keep saying they're definitely gonna get a mod to revert the changes

[silk thorn]

I dunno how blacksmithing will be leveled up

[vivid apex]

probably just keep making swords and stuff @silk thorn

You'll start off making 'crude' blacksmithed items and then when you reach a point I reckon it'll turn into good items

[silk thorn]

Yeah I really want to make knight armor and things

[snow nimbus]

❤️

[old flint]

I totally forgot about the spiked zombies

They will be interesting

[vivid apex]

I didnt see any new news about more firearms, but that one Wild West video showed us a revolver

[silk thorn]

Spiked zombies???

[vivid apex]

Yeah, they will wear spiked clothing

[silk thorn]

Oh archery

[vivid apex]

You cant use your hands/feet to stomp or push them

You have to use a long weapon too I think

[old flint]

Zeds that have scrap metal sticking out of them, if you push them theyll cut you

[silk thorn]

Its like the last thing they will add to 42 right?

Ooooyh that's really cool

[old flint]

Sprinter spikey zombies will be fun...

[vivid apex]

I hope some roads get changed into PAVED roads

like those farms so deep in the woods, I hope they become sand/gravel roads atleast

[snow nimbus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAzpPCJSlCk

[indigo bane]

I don't understand how people can complain and say the new way of getting Xp is bad, they didn't even play it

[snow nimbus]

spikey bois

[silk thorn]

We are getting 430 new cells of the map

[mortal kernel]

what do you mean is bad?

[silk thorn]

Louisville is 53 cells

[old flint]

Fr, the new caprentry xp gain is way better

[indigo bane]

That's what I believe

[mortal kernel]

if by bad you can't get more xp out of scrapping, that makes sense

[old flint]

B41 carpentry gaining is boring as hell and ruins mp servers with mass deconstructing unless they use a specfic mod

[mortal kernel]

xp should be gain by crafting

[old flint]

Yeah thats how b42 is doing it I think

[mortal kernel]

not destroying stuff

[radiant dagger]

Americans will truely use any other measuring scale than metric

[indigo bane]

Ye but it looks like some people do not agree and say "we will revert this with mod"

Just try it before criticize

[old flint]

Im sure someone will but they are just lazy

[mortal kernel]

those people....

[old flint]

I love the idea of gaining xp via crafting and removing deconstruct xp

[mortal kernel]

are mainly the guys one must avoid having any convo with

same goes with people saying muscle strain is bad because they can't chew through a horde anymore

[silk thorn]

Isn't muscle strain the same as fatigue

[snow nimbus]

🐸

[indigo bane]

Fr, and then screaming because the game has no longer challenge end game

[mortal kernel]

like killing a horde of zombies is something one can do without any consequences to own health

[radiant dagger]

Just wait until the fence update

[vivid apex]

I reckon you'll be more likely to get the pain moodle if you keep your fatigue up too

[mortal kernel]

not

[silk thorn]

I guess I'll just have to see I'm excited to see everything that is new

[vivid apex]

It would make sense ngl, you just instantly start using all your strength to kill people

[candid sparrow]

i wish project zomboid was real

[silk thorn]

I'm more stealthy anyway

[mortal kernel]

fatigue is muscle tiredness, strain is brutal contraction if muscle is not trained before exercise

fatigue is lactic acid build up, strain is more tendon-related injury

[silk thorn]

What do y'all think of the new 4k moodles

[hollow pasture]

Old ones better honestly

[indigo bane]

Good thing if mods are not compatible in the first place. So people will just discover what is really PZ B42 vanilla before adding tons of things

[fiery pine]

About those machines, I'm hoping they do break down at some point and are maybe only useful at the start of the apocalypse, like maybe till the power goes out?

[mortal kernel]

you must learn and git gud in the new ways before mods

[indigo bane]

Uhm I think those machines will come later in the unstable

[silk thorn]

I think they are adding a bunch of quality life mods as base game

[mortal kernel]

for laters

[silk thorn]

Electrical machines can't be made at all they are only found

If they broke down and need repair that would make sense but permanently no

[indigo bane]

You are talking about those ?

[mortal kernel]

so dismantling electrical devices will still grant xp same goes for mechanics

[silk thorn]

Yeah

Pretty sure

[mortal kernel]

don't be so sure

[silk thorn]

You can make like stone furnaces and stuff

[hollow pasture]

What is Spiffo's Secret Juice

[silk thorn]

Don't take everything I say seriously idk

[indigo bane]

You really don't know ?

[proper dirge]

Holy crap, we might reach 15k if it doesn't release in 2 days.

[silk thorn]

Yeah 😭😭😭

[snow nimbus]

wild 🤣

[mortal kernel]

it's their joy

[hollow pasture]

Do I want to know

[silk thorn]

Everyone is hyped

[mortal kernel]

counting the numbers, checking steamdb,

[proper dirge]

Is there a hard limit for the amount of text that can appear in the discussion?

[mortal kernel]

100k

[proper dirge]

I can only imagine it for build 44 or 45

[snow nimbus]

It's a full time job, but someones gotta do it

[mortal kernel]

at this point it is for some :))

[silk thorn]

They got the first npcs done which are the animals

They are building upon that

[snow nimbus]

The animals use an entirely seperate AI system apparently

[mortal kernel]

yep, very basic

[snow nimbus]

Human NPCs and other things will use behavioral tree techAI

I was playing SCII the other day so I got tech trees on the brain

lol

[mortal kernel]

starcraft 2?

[snow nimbus]

ye

[mortal kernel]

omg !

[silk thorn]

43-45 is mainly npc based?

[mortal kernel]

what race do you fashion?

[snow nimbus]

I like them all, but I play zerg mostly

[mortal kernel]

zeeeerg yes

[vivid apex]

I heard each book is gonna be UNIQUE now, and that we can RE-READ THEM after a certain period

How cool is that, we can actually collect books

[mortal kernel]

I used to go with toss in WoL, they had a nice 2 proxy pylons all-in

[snow nimbus]

I've been using a mod for this on my server for a quite a few wipes now and I am excited for it to be added to the base game 😄

[snow nimbus]

yea when I was younger I was all about the protoss (in SC1) but then slowly fell in love with zerg

[latent mulch]

dam this got quiet, really thought we'd reach 13k tonight

[snow nimbus]

still can, it's only 2:34pm here

[vivid apex]

PST isnt real

[snow nimbus]

and yet here I am

[latent mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/and-yet-i-smile-gif-26715014

[indigo bane]

23:41, 19 min and it will be the release day

[late jackal]

That's gonna be some primetime real estate for B42. A farming plot, chicken coop and fenced pasture. Right next to the woods, giving materials and protection. 2-story house. Only major issue is how hard it is to get to town from there.

[warm pike]

i think it wont drop till christmas at least

[late jackal]

CORNER 3

[warm pike]

nonesense, rooftop farms in louisville

[warm tendon]

hey guys, how's the waiting going?

[warm pike]

i want to die, but then id miss B42

[obtuse wasp]

pretty sure they are going to be insane by the actual release date

[latent mulch]

yeeees, and next to a little lake too, and a big forest, like all at once

[obtuse wasp]

there was a new region in the basements blog post that looks kinda interesting

[warm pike]

my fav part is gonna be the NPCs later down the line

[warm tendon]

I'm already losing it, trying to find any mods that add anything to the game I have over 200 mods to cope until 42 breaks them all

[warm pike]

b 42 gonna b crazy enough, once NPCs come in its gonna be a whole new game again

[late jackal]

You're gonna have to brave the lower floors to reach the roof. And it's a long trip going down and upstairs. The nerfs to sheet ropes will make it harder.

[warm pike]

b42 will make half of them irrelivant anyway

[obtuse wasp]

you could try out hydrocraft, just be aware that it wont help with your sanity

[warm pike]

ig it depends on the building but didnt quite think of that

was more so thinking building on the mall rooftop lol

like day of the dead i think it was?

dawn of the dead*

[late jackal]

Yeah. lol. You've just ACTUALLY created a Dawn Of The Dead playthrough, except they're stuck on the roof.

[cyan rivet]

Me when my character can't carry a fridge and 200 cans of spaghetti bologna up the sheet rope with one hand

[warm pike]

sounds like you just got noodle arms

[late jackal]

I mean, they probably can, but it'll probably take a whole irl 10 minutes.

[cyan rivet]

Guess I have to waste 1 thousand trait points to increase my strength stat

[stable bison]

Is B42 out yet? The correct answer is "yes"

[vivid apex]

How lng do you think that'll take them

i give it like 2 years

[warm pike]

they have a good amount of work done but u might b right as much as i hate to say it

especially considering how much detail is going into them

[stable bison]

Modders will have functional NPCs with commands using the animals mechanics by March.

[fiery pine]

Wait are animals not npcs or do you mean human npcs?

[vivid apex]

Oh yeah no 100%

[grim turret]

project zomboid build 42 december 20

[warm pike]

nawr idk abt that. considering what we have now, itll be mad janky

[silk thorn]

I hope we have multiplayer by January or febuary

[warm pike]

might be a good place holder for the time being, but once PZ team releases theirs im sure it will blow the mods out of the water

[stable bison]

Bandits is surprisingly good, without the animals mechanics. Based on what we've seen of animals, that's the guy to watch.

[warm pike]

i have not seen bandits. ive only seen the one NPC mod that adds civilians

cant remember the name of it but im sure you know\

[warm pike]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1905148104

this one

[stable bison]

Superb Survivors is terrible, but does have slightly better friendlies than Bandits. Bandits is mechanically sounder.

[warm pike]

SS is ass lmao. it just adds ding dongs

theyre no threat and no help and cant even fight back

[stable bison]

Tyr out bandits, and if you want a REAL challenge, try this out: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3329251514&searchtext=bandits

[warm pike]

i'll have to try bandits tho. ive seen some clips abt it but it looks pretty cool

[stable bison]

I've yet to see a Youtuber manage to survive a full day one with a single character.

But yeah, the Bandits guy is going to be the one who cracks NPCs with animals I bet.

[fiery pine]

Same date as build 41 release, it's a self fullfilling prophecy at this point

[warm pike]

send me some videos of that G. i gotta see it

[stable bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZcRdo9PJLY&pp=ygUNbnVyc2UgZGF5IG9uZQ%3D%3D

[latent mulch]

yeees this is really really cool

can't wait for the b42 update

[stable bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHKDJJUYaPE&pp=ygUPem9tYm9pZCBkYXkgb25l

[finite turtle]

week one mod soon aswell

[mortal kernel]

Bandits WEEK ONE is in the works

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb2btjVTQTA&t=11185s

[finite turtle]

yeah thas why i said soon

[warm pike]

it seems it is lol

as cool and wild as it looks, you can tell its a WIP

[snow nimbus]

The one thing that bothers me with the bandits mod is they idle like zombies, I know it is cause they technically are zombies but it still bothers me lol

[warm pike]

surely it will be polished in B42]

[snow nimbus]

yea

[warm pike]

especially with all the new tools modders are being given

[mortal kernel]

they idle and aggro when it's not normal

[snow nimbus]

yup yup

[stable bison]

That's why think when the animals stuff get out, modders will take that and run with it. Hell, we could have a new NPC mod by new year's.

[stable bison]

The videos I've seen of week one are janky as hell.

[silk thorn]

Animals are basically groundwork for npcs

[stable bison]

Yeah, and modders are going to go nuts.

We'll have dogs and cats in no time.

[silk thorn]

YESS

Hoping dogs and cats will be a feature in 43 🤞

[eager wyvern]

Raining cats and dogs

[midnight plaza]

We already have dogs

[silk thorn]

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

[quiet imp]

real dogs

[eager wyvern]

That a chimera

[quiet imp]

not skinwalkers

[silk thorn]

43 shouldn't take as long as 42 I hope

[quiet imp]

do we know if there is a method to transport animals? I know there was the lamb getting put in a bag meme from one thursdoid

[silk thorn]

Trailers

[quiet imp]

hmm true

[silk thorn]

I saw a clip of it

I don't remember which one it was tho

[quiet imp]

really, with animals in them?

[silk thorn]

Yup

[quiet imp]

holy shit i gotta look for that

thinking of building a base near the new sanatorium poi.. but don't want to miss out on farm animals or have to commute to a farm every day

[silk thorn]

Yeah I wanted to do a skyscraper base with lots of people

[stable bison]

Western Town base, 100%

If a multiplayer server doesn't have a shootout in the street there with someone saying, "This town ain't big enough fer the two of us" that server is going to be doing it wrong

[quiet imp]

lol yea

[stable bison]

The real question is: Will there be a new meta loot location with the best gear?

Or is it going to be all about rushing gun shops and the military barricade still?

[silk thorn]

I think meta will be blacksmithed weapons

[stable bison]

Sure, for dealing with zombies, but on the multi servers, the power always seems to rest with the faction that rushes the gun shops.

[silk thorn]

I'm definitely maining archery

Silent killer

[mortal kernel]

you will wait for that

[stable bison]

Wait, is archery going to be a thing with 42?

[mortal kernel]

yes

[silk thorn]

Yeah its like the last things that will be added

[stable bison]

Huh, missed that entirely.

I'd like to see gunsmithing eventually.

[silk thorn]

Yeah that would be neat

[mortal kernel]

gunsmithing if it's planned, will require higher level workstations

so later as well as archery

[stable bison]

True, though I was thinking more like 19th century guns than modern ones.

[silk thorn]

I feel we should have to get different skills higher and then unlock a gunsmithing skill tree

[mortal kernel]

still it requires some advanced stations to create gun parts

[silk thorn]

Like flintlocks and muskets? and stuff

[mortal kernel]

even if they are makeshift

[stable bison]

Not if we're talking about ye olde guns.Technically you can make a flintlock or early rifle with hand tools

[mortal kernel]

yes but it's a crude weapon

[stable bison]

Agreed. Still, and hear me out, gunsmithing that lets you make a 19th century cannon.
