Build 42 Unstable Out Now

[knotty yew]

this was back in b41, but it sounds like you’re talking about a buggy mod interaction?

[chilly atlas]

its been a known bug for like a yr now

[knotty yew]

instant death from a bite can happen if you get bitten on the neck from the “rear”

I dunno if that’s a bug

[chilly atlas]

u should look this up urself cos i gtg now but u will see other ppl talking abt this

[spare breach]

how do i get a ceramic crucible?

[forest shore]

I mean if someone tore your esophagus out you'd probably die pretty quick too.

[chilly atlas]

thats a myth lol

[knotty yew]

well, one last thing: how did you get the game to acknowledge time since you got infected?

[chilly atlas]

u die FAST but u dont die loterally instantly

[heavy crown]

This was a bug that happened with removing the bite/infection from debug iirc

[knotty yew]

I’ve had it happen ingame more than once

[blazing finch]

How do you obtain clay?

[chilly atlas]

i dont know it just does that. go look into it urself im omw out the door

[heavy crown]

Where whatever people were doing to remove it in debug did not actually clear the infected flag

[keen gorge]

Foraging

[pallid hinge]

foraging apparently

[heavy crown]

so if you got infected again it was just like "yep over 3 days, die"

[forest shore]

You find it while foraging

[keen gorge]

Just download the mod that allows you to dig it up

[blazing finch]

Anywhere in specific?

[keen gorge]

Apparently its more common along gravel roads and riversides

[blazing finch]

Alright

Thanks

[spare breach]

ok some of the recipes are too unnecessarily specific

its already hard af just to gather everything to make the most primitive forges, furnaces and anvils

they'll need to broaden the types of tools that can be used to craft via those recipes, 1 specific tool needed thats already really rare won't cut it

[versed cave]

Why can't I light the antique stoves?

I want to cook a rat

[real fox]

i saw that users are having issues with amd cards, personally using a 7900xt and had 0 crashes, is it specifically on older amd cards/intergrated graphics?

[versed cave]

I got the option to light with some item and I destroyed stuff for fuel and it won't let me light it

[vague trench]

is it in your main inventory?

[versed cave]

Is what?

[vague trench]

the thing to light stove

what are you trying to use to light the stove?

[versed cave]

like the lighteR?

[vague trench]

yah , like can you get a rag and try a lighter and rag to light it?

[flat phoenix]

I think the issue is with older amd cards, but I wouldn't be surprised if integrated graphics are also having issues.

[forest shore]

It's strictly older AMDs from what I heard. Something about a driver issue. No issues on the Steamdeck aside from a few odd crashes but they're very infrequent.

[versed cave]

I just get an error

[vague trench]

no mods or anything?

[versed cave]

not any relating to this

Like a trait mod, spawns, and old moodles

[vague trench]

i would disable any mods and see if it still continues

[versed cave]

can i disable them on a running save?

[vague trench]

not sure usually depends on the mods

[versed cave]

okee dokey

thanks Puppers :D

[vague trench]

[crisp knot]

So apparently even if gas pumps are empty you can still fill up your car 🤫

tried it with a gas can no work but you park the car up to it and it just works fine

[pallid hinge]

magic

[hallow sail]

anyone know how to level carving?

[keen gorge]

Gas stations hate this one simple trick

[versed cave]

How can I disable mods while in a save?

[pallid hinge]

can't do it in the save - back out to main menu and click the more button on the right hand side, then select choose mods

[versed cave]

Found it :D

[pallid hinge]

❤️

[static heart]

main menu -> load -> More at the bottom right

[versed cave]

how can I see what errors are saying, ALSO it is tweaking out still without most of the mods

I JUST WANT TO COOK THE DAMN RAT

[versed cave]

❤️ thanks

[crisp knot]

don't tell them about the infnite gas glitch

[brazen jetty]

Is it intended for boarding up windows to not require any nails?

[keen gorge]

Currently bugged

[blazing finch]

Can we butcher zeds?

[keen gorge]

No but the more traits mod has a recipe for that

[blazing finch]

Interesting

[versed cave]

Does more traits cause problems with antique stoves?

[forest shore]

It will use nails in your main inventory but not bags. I think I reported it on the forms but now I"m doubting myself lol

[keen gorge]

Threads are bugged right now as well

Don't consolidate them. They just get lost to the void

[brazen jetty]

so if I have nails in my backpack, nails won't be used?

[forest shore]

Correct

[brazen jetty]

hope they will fix it soon

[cyan blaze]

bro wtf

[cyan blaze]

I joined the game with black screen and now, it doesnt have UI

[brazen jetty]

[spare breach]

try pressing V or H or something

i think one of those keys disables all the UI

[cyan blaze]

ok

[versed cave]

I CAN'T LIGHT ANY FIRE

[cyan blaze]

nothing... I cant aim too

[versed cave]

I have an antique stove that won't let me light it, and I have a campfire that is doing the same

[cyan blaze]

maybe, amd cards doesnt loading all the UI

[versed cave]

I am also going to gripe about the historic coal field HAVING NO LOOT

Does anyone know of a mod to fix the lack of lighting fires in the new update

[vague trench]

did you disable your mods? because i just tried antique oven and campfire using log , twigs, and a regular orange lighter and it worked for me

[versed cave]

...

[vague trench]

try on a new save with no mods

[versed cave]

I may need to try removing my trait mod

ok

[versed cave]

I may just put up with it and decide a new base

[vague trench]

https://tenor.com/view/roger-roger-roger-roger-that-copy-that-robots-gif-5912820

[cyan blaze]

I can interact only with keyboard and UI doesnt exists

[dim halo]

Press V

[cyan blaze]

nothings happen

[dim halo]

Oh uhhhhhhh, restart?

[glacial haven]

what's the best early game way to level electrical now?

[pallid hinge]

still watches

[glacial haven]

dismantling, right (yea i'm a noob)?

[dim halo]

Still watches probably. But note picking up stuff like power strips

[pallid hinge]

yup!

[glacial haven]

cool ty

[cyan blaze]

it probably doesnt work because I have an old amd card

[dim halo]

I dont think an old card would matter so long the drivers are upto date

[cyan blaze]

but I press to continue at the black screen and started the game without UI

[dim halo]

Try #1019767076094758924 maybe someone there can help

[versed cave]

how did you test it? in a debug world?

[vague trench]

yah

[versed cave]

okee

[wet timber]

You should post the video alongside a bug report to the PZ forums. They have a whole format you can follow there, and it's more likely that your issue will be seen

[opaque schooner]

Anyone know any good long term pz servers?

[vague trench]

lol is that a baby closet

always closet your babbies

[cyan blaze]

Ill try

[civic drum]

What else would you do with a baby?

[vague trench]

put them in a parcel !

[pallid hinge]

https://youtu.be/vO8_XUllyBk unmoveable tent

I reported it

[chilly atlas]

i was raised in here

[hallow sail]

what do i do with all this

[pallid hinge]

That is a big of poop - try composting it or something

or maybe it can be used as fert right from the get go

[hallow sail]

i assumed fertilizer but i fear planting crops while entering september

[pallid hinge]

I would find crops that do work in later seasons (click for spoilers)

[hallow sail]

if i plant like wheat though i'm afraid it'll all spoil by the time i figure out how to use it lmao

[pallid hinge]

fair

[hallow sail]

fuck it. i'll make a farm

[silk nova]

how i get leather from rabbits?

[pallid hinge]

I literally just butchered a rabbit and was thinking the same thing

[silk nova]

i just butchered 4 rabbits i hit with the car but no leather or fur

[visual trail]

you need a tool

to remove fur and leather

[silk nova]

i have to build it or i can find it?

[remote bear]

did you build this yourself

[pallid hinge]

no PlentyT the modder did

[visual trail]

you can find it in farms or farming stores

[remote bear]

oooo

[silk nova]

name?

[brazen jetty]

Is there a way to get a molotov besides debug mode?

[dim halo]

I think you right click them to pick up

[pallid hinge]

nah

[visual trail]

also works to remove fur leather from animal

[silk nova]

👍

[vague trench]

lol you can equip rat turd and remove broken glass with them lol

[pallid hinge]

🤣

[queen shadow]

And I was wondering why my fps tanked

[vague trench]

what are those?

[dim halo]

Damn

[pallid hinge]

if it is the same issue someone else was having earlier, it is rats - ratpocolypse

[cunning turtle]

F

[vague trench]

nice i put mine to 200 lol

[pallid hinge]

The only rat I have seen so far was the one I accidently ran over 😦

[vague trench]

lol

[real fox]

any tips of managing fear of blood?

[queen shadow]

Rats

[real fox]

character is always on a mental breakdown lmao

[queen shadow]

I didnt change any settings, the vemrin index was 100#

[real fox]

mostly worried once the water runs out my character is gonna flip lmfao

[hallow sail]

i can't use bare pig poop as fertilzer

[pallid hinge]

pre-B42 you just kept yourself washed after a day of slaying zombies (a lot of people liked to pair it with smoker to help with the anxiety)

I haven't messed with it in B42 so I can't say how it is now

[real fox]

it seems to create stress after 2-3 minutes of blood on character, and then maybe 10-25 minutes later itll get really bad and panic mode xD

[pallid hinge]

that is intense

[hallow sail]

poop pile

[narrow plank]

is anyone able to place beds in basements?

[vague trench]

thats some nice turdage

[brazen jetty]

Is there a way to get a molotov besides debug mode?

[vague trench]

no

theyre disabled it hink

[neat rapids]

am i the only one dissapointed by the new metal armor models and textures?

they look very low quality imo

[pallid hinge]

yea they are disabled this post basically explains why - TLDR: It doesn't flat out said why they disabled them specifically but they want to make all thrown items use the new 3D ballistics system https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1hjfzuv/comment/m370j3l/

[hoary rampart]

Yo are AMDs still having problems??

[pallid hinge]

yes

[hoary rampart]

YES FINALLY I CAN PLAYYYYYY

[vague trench]

which ones?

[hoary rampart]

Thanks

[neat rapids]

like, all od them honestly

[versed cave]

I want to know if people think that trait specialization would be cool, for example picking a trait like Veteran and then getting a specialization option of like:

1. Military Mechanic
2. Military Infantry
3. Military Cook
4. Military Medic
   etc.

[neat rapids]

i was hoping for something on par with b41 mod scrap armor

maybe less detailed but still

[pallid hinge]

still issues

[hoary rampart]

Will it run on a ryzen 3?

[vague trench]

do you have a picture of one?

[neat rapids]

looks so stupid imo

not my pics, i stole em off the internet

the "scrap" metal ome especially

[vague trench]

i dont think it looks bad and there are alternatives in the game as far as armor

[pallid hinge]

maybe? I think it is a gpu issue not a cpu issue - only way to know it to try it tbh, I don't have a ryzen 3 so I can't say for sure

[neat rapids]

well i want crafted armor, cuz i wanr more emphasis on making my own stuff

[vague trench]

as far as detail goes its pretty nice , doesnt look like any other armor mod i have seen to be honest

[cunning turtle]

[neat rapids]

it just looks super goofy and unpolished to me

[pallid hinge]

😍 a zombie by my base brought me a hatchet, how kind of him

[vague trench]

could always make a suggestion in steam forums in the suggestion area

[hearty pond]

now thats someone you gotta dig a grave for!

[glacial cape]

You should reward that zombie with a nice little treat, your arm :)

[neat rapids]

heres an old pic of the mod i mentioned

[cyan blaze]

how??

[pallid hinge]

😉

[vague trench]

like i said id rather have tis come up with their own ideas of how they interpet their version of scrap armor and let djvirus the one who created scrap armor keep his mod seperate

[silent dragon]

is it jsut me or in the sandbox settings there are less numbers to control and more drop down boxes

[hoary rampart]

If the AMD bug is fixed then i can play

[glacial cape]

That scrap armor is reminding me a lot of the game Rust ngl

[neat rapids]

im not against new idea im just criticizing the quality of the armor

[pallid hinge]

It's not fixed, I just said that

[cunning turtle]

[vague trench]

i would wait until you can make the armor yourself to see what is available , might be more options

[forest shore]

They managed to make sketchy bridges lol

[pallid hinge]

🤣

[hearty pond]

down below where you can save a preset, you can click on "advanced" it'll give you more numbers

[forest shore]

I made it through, barely lol

[silent dragon]

oh thanks

[forest shore]

What's a Loupe

[vague trench]

use it to look at rock n minerals n stuff

[pallid hinge]

it's a Magnifying glass(usually has multiple magnifications on it)

[forest shore]

Ahhh ok. I wonder if there's any use for it in game

[pallid hinge]

I have one like this irl

[hearty pond]

could be for later crafting stuff?

kinda surprised carpentry machines dont seem to be in yet

[pallid hinge]

I came across a electric bandsaw the other day

[vague trench]

can we saw ourselves

[dim halo]

Click the advanced button and you get numbers instead

[pallid hinge]

This is a good question - donno if it actually is useable as I did not have any wood, I will have to test

[hearty pond]

it is, but only for metal

[vague trench]

maybe were like worms and you cut in half we become two

[pallid hinge]

xD

[hearty pond]

i did a bit of digging in the recipes scripts ||toasters and coffee makers are also "machines" that offer crafting||

[sour scaffold]

am i the only one with the old menu instead of the new one? is it a glitch or something?

[hearty pond]

carpentry doesnt seem to be in, but there's remnants of what seemed like a table saw + some stuff relating to automation crafting

[vague trench]

new one was removed

[sour scaffold]

really?

[pallid hinge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1hgwecs/comment/m2mm818/

[vague trench]

yeahh

[pallid hinge]

lemmy101 is lead dev of PZ

[sour scaffold]

damn I didnt release

[hoary rampart]

Okay i can get past character creation now but its black screening after loading

[vague trench]

can we breed rats?

[sour scaffold]

maybe its because I actually installed the beta like a day and a half after it was released

[hoary rampart]

Progress, my friends. Progress.

[cunning turtle]

It's progressing

[forest shore]

Guys I found af farm down the road from. It has a greenhouse and a well, with a lake and everything. I'm not sure if I want to make it my new base though. It's also walled on two sides.

[hearty pond]

guess you are now a farmer

[queen shadow]

Is anyone elses basement not having electricity if you have a generator connected?

[cosmic yoke]

why did shotgun get crazy nerfed :( i was aiming at zombies right in front of me and i still missed ALL five shots. am i stupid?

[pallid hinge]

Known issue it seems

[forest shore]

Known bug - theres some weirdness when zombies are too close so try to keep some distance. Also stairs, crawlers, and zombies on the ground are funky too

[pallid hinge]

Are they super close to you? It is a known issue - but I highly recommend checking out this post by Lemmy https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1hjfzuv/psa_regarding_gun_aiming_rework/

[forest shore]

Anyone gotten the courage to try a megaphone yet?

[pallid hinge]

I haven't found one yet - but I want to recreate the opening scene from Day of The Dead

[forest shore]

I keep finding them in police cars.

[glacial cape]

Still sucks I liked the new main menu screen

[hearty pond]

the description for the old guns is golden

[glacial cape]

Ranged melee weapons 😂

[pallid hinge]

Right? I love it. "Basically a long stick"

😁

[hearty pond]

shuriken?

[hearty pond]

man that makes me wish i actually had a really long stick

[glacial cape]

🫡 so true brother

[pallid hinge]

[hearty pond]

okay, we need a staff weapon skill and plenty of staffs to go with it

[glacial cape]

https://tenor.com/view/jesse-enkamp-karate-nerd-bo-kobudo-kata-gif-25702421

[pallid hinge]

Tbh I would love to fight with a bow staff

[glacial cape]

level 10 staff skill looks like

[hearty pond]

que the pic with the german police officer with chainmeal and Bo staff

[glacial cape]

I'm pretty excitied for the bows & crossbows ngl, finally a silent ranged weapon!

I still prefer melee thou since weapons are more common than ammo still

even with all the loot tweaks

[pallid hinge]

Gonna be pretty great!

[hearty pond]

its probably just gonna be a little time before someone makes a mod to just forge bullets

[glacial cape]

We still got a recipe to gather gunpowder for some reason

[hearty pond]

aerosol bomb i think uses gunpowder

[glacial cape]

Idk what they're planning to do with that or why its still a thing

ah makes sense

[subtle tendon]

mac freezes randomly when playing :(

hope the devs fix soon 🙏

[hearty pond]

firecracker and pipebombs use gunpowder

interestingly both in electrical

[glacial cape]

In the dev blog it says they're looking to get it fixed for New Years so there's still hope

[subtle tendon]

wait maybe the game isnt freezing because when the game froze in a test game, i heard myself die and when i reloaded i actually died, maybe the devs can fix this easy

so the game isnt REALLY freezing its just the display of the game

[real fox]

probably the longest ive lived so far lol

[spare breach]

good job! keep it up

my longest was probably 1.5 months

[spare breach]

but to be fair i do not play on very hard settings and some things are turned off because they're dumb

[civic drum]

So where have people found pigs and cows?

I know where to find chickens, turkeys, and rabbits, haven't had any luck with the bigger meat though.

[glacial cape]

The farm north of muldraugh has cows, my base location also has sheep & pigs, idk if the farm spawns are random or are always generated the same

[pallid hinge]

the farms to the east and to the south of echo creek

is where I have found them

[glacial cape]

oh you're in echo creek nvm :P

[pallid hinge]

I donno where EQ is - but that is where I am

[vague trench]

where are you at on the map?

[civic drum]

Rest area on the highway that runs west of Rosewood, and just east of Echo Creek.

[pallid hinge]

Oh you ended up staying there, right I had forgotten

I am currently clearing it out, slowly

[vague trench]

lol why cant the bull just BULLdozer over them for me

[civic drum]

Yep, it's turning into a rather nice base, though I think they've made it so hordes cluster on the highway, every 4-5 days, a small horde shows up.

[civic drum]

HAcksaw

[severe egret]

Try a wood saw

[severe egret]

Wait is this legit? I was hoping i just needed detergent? Pls tell me you dont need a skill book for this

[glass widget]

does the smell moodle and various degrees actually affect your character or is just flies

[pallid hinge]

yea it is corpse sickness from B41

[hearty pond]

butchery isnt in yet

[pallid hinge]

same mechanic, just on overdrive

[hearty pond]

just very basic farming and bits of leather

[glacial cape]

Anyone levelled welding yet? Just wondering how you'd go about levelling it

[delicate rover]

does the existence of blank keys mean we can cut our own keys for locks?

just found a blank key in a hardware store

[dusk echo]

With default settings, B42 is just the [Muffled Freebird] update

Gun combat? Unreliable
Melee combat? Gives you muscle fatigue fast
Car combat? This is the way.

Crush hundreds of zeds under your tires without spending a round or moving a muscle. Ruin many, many trunks trying to clear out that new shooting range area.

The only problem is finding a working car with fuel (or keys if you don't run burglar) in the first place, which is down to pure luck.

[vague trench]

i dont think melee combat is too bad considering the different speeds of the zombies its pretty easy to rest in between fights

[forest shore]

Yea there's a recipe to copy keys.

[cunning turtle]

Yeah ppl are tripping

[glacial cape]

Right so I figured it out, you can level welding still from barricading windows but this seemed very minor, & dismantling cars I'm gonna test on metal appliances/objects

so far metal appliances aren't giving any xp though so I'm thinking those two are the only way

[dusk echo]

It's not exactly bad, just very much slower now.
Which is a good thing, of course, but it still needs a bit of tinkering to find a sweet spot.

...Of course, compared to slaughtering hundreds of zeds on day 1, most other forms of combat do seem a bit lacking

[spare breach]

yep 100%, but the idea is very good

some normies are going to be pissed that you cant kill 200 zombies in a span of single day now

to me thats irrelevant though because i do think it is a bit dumb

[woven mulch]

Are crude stone axes really bad?

Woops, wrong chat lol

[glacial cape]

lol what build are you I can answer for you

[woven mulch]

meant to sent in #pz_b42_chat

[vague trench]

lol

[woven mulch]

Oh, thanks! I'm in build 42

[glacial cape]

So stone axes in build 42 are bugged you can chop down basically an infinite number of trees before durability loss(haven't tested how many trees I can chop down but I chopped down 30-50 trees at one point +the others I've chopped and I still got no durability loss)

however they're not that great against zombies as a weapon

[dusk echo]

Tbf, some work also does need to be done on hitboxes and the works- Sometimes find myself swinging at nothing when there's a zombie right in the arc.

And gun combat, despite the risks, is more than a little bit buggered even at higher aiming levels. I can see what they're going for, and that definitely has promise. It just needs some refinement.

[woven mulch]

Ahh I see

What about the hatchet item, the item formerly known as the hand axe?

I just got one from looting a zombie corpse. It looks really promising, but it's already beginning to lose durability

[spare breach]

im not denying that there is flaws, but i like the direction this is taking more than what it used to be

[dusk echo]

Yeah. It's neat that default settings now feel more like you're trying to survive than to thrive.

[vague trench]

yeah i like what theyre doing with apoc so far dont need to really sit there for hours going through the settings

[glacial cape]

I'm not sure if looted axes or crafted now ones I guess have the same seemingly infinite durability against trees which the stone axe does

I'm not specced into axes so I haven't tested much

[woven mulch]

I don't know if guns are going to scan whether or not you're aiming for the head of a zombie, if it is then I'm not sure i'll like it

[severe egret]

Yeah like, ambiguity is my biggest gripe with PZs design. Make the crosshair a direct representation of accuracy instead of some arbitrary indicator

[woven mulch]

Ah I see, got it!

[glacial cape]

Btw if anyone's got a better way to level up welding let me know because even with a skill book with a 3x multiplier 1 car wreck is only worth about 13-20 xp and that's without any other bonuses 💀 this is gonna be a tough one to level especially considering the 10 units of propane per wreck

maybe building structures is the way to go? i will have to do more testing and look into ways of levelling

I just wanna repair my car hood man

[real fox]

LETS GOOOO

im almost at 20 days

[cunning turtle]

What a pro

i have 3 percent sprinters on too

ive almost died probably twice today to them 😭

[cunning turtle]

You're lucky too lol

[woven mulch]

do zombies have a harder time seeing you at night?

[pallid hinge]

Apparently yes, fog too

[woven mulch]

I'd assume their vision cone is reduced

[vague trench]

in the most random place lol

[real fox]

im so fucking bad at math , can someone help me understand/calculate future references on generator usgage?

from what i understand im using 10 lights using 0.02 liters? per hour, mini fridge that uses 0.13, and the generator itself is 0.02 per hour and im using 0.17 basically in total per hour

my question is how much do i have left?

and how would i calculate how much i have left based on percentage

[cedar nest]

12.5 litters of gas in a generator

[real fox]

ah okay

[cedar nest]

unless its been changed

[real fox]

thanks for this

i think i can caclulate how much hours i have with how much it can hold

[cedar nest]

Yeah. Multiply by percentage left of 12.5 to see total liters left then go from there with draw.

[hallow sail]

how does it get changed LOL

[cedar nest]

There's different kind of generators now. Unsure if it's just a visual thing or if they have different attributes.

New Retanaru, pretty insightful about difficulty changes

[hearty pond]

am I going insane or are there just really a metric ton more tiles?

[pallid hinge]

metric ton more everything

and it is great

[hearty pond]

yeah and tire iron is such a nice bonk weapon

also just pulled up on the echo creek gun location, i expected a small gunshop, not what i found

[pallid hinge]

[sly pivot]

TAA. You are next, TAA.

[hearty pond]

theres a nice farm property close by, tho

currently evacuating the former tenants to make it my horders stash

[fickle timber]

Duplicating chicken glitch

[pallid hinge]

so yesterday I found canteen (500mL) today I find Leather Water Bag (1000mL)

[woven mulch]

haha. yes.

[pallid hinge]

and you can equip it

[hearty pond]

also, plastic bags seem to be bugged?

i sometimes get one plastic bag with an additional 24 in it

[pallid hinge]

You mean you don't stuff plastics bags into other plastic bags irl?

[hearty pond]

I would love to make a witty comeback, but i do have a plastic bag with plenty of more plastic bags somewhere stuffed in my cupboard

[wild oak]

every house has the plastic bag cabinet

[keen gorge]

Damn almost everything with a sharpness value is S tier so long as you keep the sharpness topped up with constant sharpening

[pallid hinge]

Not here, unless they have been saving them forever - those grocery bags have been banned since 2020

[hearty pond]

get the tire iron, embrace the bonk

what country has banned grocery bags

[pallid hinge]

Canada

it is apart of the single use plastic ban

[hearty pond]

dammit, i had hopes its somewhere in europe so there's a chance its gonna go Union wide

[pallid hinge]

maybe one day!

[hearty pond]

imma be honest, i dont think its gonna go over well, people are loosing their mind over bottle-attached bottle caps

[keen gorge]

Friendship ended with crowbar now metal bat is my new best friend

[hearty pond]

yeah the new weapons are really good

[keen gorge]

Also combat maintenance is so fucking slow

Seems like maintenance is moving away from combat and into crafting

[hearty pond]

i also kinda like the firearms, maybe give them a bit more tracer to make the bullet more visible and please oil those stupid guns so they stop jamming

[pallid hinge]

yea it is feels worse than the Hardcore server I was on in B41 where we had like 0.3 xp gains

[hearty pond]

if i remember correctly there was talks about crafting stations have parts you have to maintain (like a table saw needing a new blade every once in awhile), but i dont think thats in yet, maybe its something to do with that?

[pallid hinge]

Thing is Maintenance is currently in the Combat - Melee tree and according to the tool tip is "Trained through melee combat."

[keen gorge]

Tooltip misleading. I'm getting my gains from crafting, not on combat

[pallid hinge]

for sure

it is just weird atm, I am sure they will fix it

[hearty pond]

but I'm really looking forward to the future of the crafting system, its a bit unfinished currently (with which they were open about) but the taste got me excited for more

oh, there's literally a toggle in the sandbox settings to make disassembling give xp again

[pallid hinge]

Same, it will give my friends who aren't super great at combat and enjoy the stardew valley aspects far more to do - and that is very exciting for me

I'd like to dabble in the crafting as well

[hearty pond]

yeah, it feels a lot like hydrocraft which a friend of mine loves, just without the tech debt of hydrocraft

[pallid hinge]

I saw retanaru's video and I love that he is using rocks to kill zombies - I wonder if they are considered short blunt lol

[hearty pond]

man hand-to-hand combat would be fun

maybe people would finally stop complaining about short blade then, lol

[pallid hinge]

yea! I am haven't used hydrocraft in forever cause it caused far too many issues, and this patch really has solved a lot of it being in the base game

[fickle timber]

Australia, used to be free grey shopping bags in every store. They'd also be in every river, road, creek, playground etc. They banned them many years ago so now we have still technically a plastic bag, but of a much higher quality and they cost about 50 cents

[hearty pond]

we pretty much always pay for plastic bags here, i think currently its about 50 euro cents, and some fancier ones for 1-2€, but those also have a layer of aluminium in them and are designed to be reusable for stuff that has to be kept cool

[pallid hinge]

That's what they were doing here before they outright banned them

[hearty pond]

yeah i saw some talk on the hydrocraft discord that they might consider redoing a lot of what the mod added in, simply because a lot of the systems they implemented with roundabout ways are now vanilla

[fickle timber]

I know at least Woolies is also introducing paper ones for slightly cheaper

[hearty pond]

god i hate this plastic paper mix that cant be recycled because of the plastic, whoever came up with that for bags is a evil person

[bright glade]

hey guys, aspiring potion crafter for b42 here, the liquids that can be currently mixed seem to be the liquids that can be actually consumed by a human person and not die (asides from bleach), I wish to create the everything potion, a container with every liquid added to it

this is my progress so far..

tomorrow or later today I'll test out soups and if they'll be able to be added to a water container and.. also be added to the other liquids as well..

[drifting shell]

So is there a way to make your own basement yet? I'd love to be able to but haven't seen a way yet

[pallid hinge]

nope

[drifting shell]

Damn

[hearty pond]

no, you cant build your own basement or extend them yet

[pallid hinge]

lemmy said almost a year ago that if they decide to make it so you can, that it will take a TON of time and be difficult

[hearty pond]

Ecn, have you tried out the cooler box yet? does it actually work?

as in chuck in some ice packs and it'll keep anything in it fresh

[drifting shell]

Well hopefully if the devs don't do it the modders figure out a way

[lament crow]

Any of you guys modded 42 yet?

[pallid hinge]

I have one! I haven't used it yet

[drifting shell]

Yes, there's a pretty decent chunk of mods up so far

[hearty pond]

mmh, wonder if that would work, it would be great for longer fishing runs

[lament crow]

have u tried the bandits mod out yet? i would love some help setting it up

[pallid hinge]

I had a mod on my B41 server that did this, specifically because I wanted to be able to do that 🙂

[drifting shell]

That I haven't. I know it was buggy in B41 so I decided not to try it on B42

[hearty pond]

yeah, i had the same mod, same with the ice cream truck with working refrigeration, even if it was a tad buggy at times

[pallid hinge]

not yet, I wanted to do playthroughs that I could report bugs on because they devs do not accept bug reports of modded playthroughs

[lament crow]

fair, i just caved into the mods lol

Ive really wanted a proper npc playthrough for a long time, i mean superb was ok but it would always break my bases for some reason

[thick laurel]

Why is my Loading Lua HD now

[pallid hinge]

731 zombie kills and finally level 1 maintenance

[severe egret]

Oof. Maybe you get more XP for repairing now?

[pallid hinge]

From what I have read it is all about crafting

[hearty pond]

also, there seems to be working SCBA gear

[severe egret]

That... seems odd

[pallid hinge]

yea! I found one I haven't found a use for it yet

[pallid hinge]

indeed! super strange

[hearty pond]

i imagine its to wear while you clean up your front yard if the neighbours are a bit smelly

bascially the "working masks" mod, just more realistic

[drifting shell]

Yeah it kinda blows til level 1. I think they also removed the old way to grind maintenance by hitting doors

[severe egret]

I mean.. at this point just remove maintenance and have both repair quality and durability of weapons dependent upon crafting skill

[pallid hinge]

yea which is awesome, I am glad they did that - I am hoping they give us more reasons to use it

[pallid hinge]

pretty much 🙂

[real fox]

LETS GOOOOO

[pallid hinge]

I haven't tried yet tbh - someone (I think on reddit) was saying that you couldn't level it with crowbars anymore, but that is how I finished off the level

[drifting shell]

I think the best way is probably wooden spears honestly

[pallid hinge]

That is in really good condition too! that is awesome, the only one I found so far was nearly destroyed

[drifting shell]

You get a bit of maintenance exp every time a weapon loses durability, and spears break quickly

[wild oak]

found a full condition one in my starting house and immediately went on a killing spree 😭

[drifting shell]

Plus they turn into sticks that break super quickly too

Not 100% sure though

[vague trench]

Yay

[severe egret]

I could swear it used to be the inverse. You would gain XP for every hit that didnt drain condition

[pallid hinge]

That is correct

[severe egret]

Suppose it still can make sense. Now you're just learning from your mistakes?

Still... all feels a bit unnecessary

[pallid hinge]

yea streamlining it would be neat - that would make it so much easier to explain to new players

[severe egret]

💯

[woven beacon]

I think they might be bugged

[vague trench]

I tried it earlier it didnt do anything when i pressed q

[turbid gorge]

yeah

[real fox]

i started there once :)

i like the firestation

until a horde killed me lmfao

[pallid hinge]

Still haven't found a genny mag, on the final 5 days till power is guaranteed out

[severe egret]

Im keen to try a no power run and see how reasonable it is to get by without it now

That said the fuel situation is gonna be pretty much the same lol

[pallid hinge]

honestly the only thing that I can think of that would be pretty awful is the lack of light inside

[severe egret]

Oh right, thats scuffed af rn

Hmm, could still be a laugh

[normal python]

How many months after the apocalypse do street lights turn off? Do they go off when the rest of the electricity goes off?

[pallid hinge]

default time is between 0-30 days

[normal python]

K

[pallid hinge]

yea they go off with the rest of the electrical grid

[neat saffron]

We goin huntin

[hearty pond]

ecn, just tried respirators with filters block out any smells

[pallid hinge]

any luck?

[hearty pond]

yep

[pallid hinge]

That is good to know!

I used a medical mask early on in my run to see if it would help, and it didn't seem to

[severe egret]

Wonder if just a good old face bandana is at all effective

[severe egret]

Ah sadge

[hearty pond]

dust masks dont seem to do the same thing, but they also have a filter that you have to change, like a battery

[real fox]

only mod im using is free draw on map but man marking the map is so cool

[severe egret]

I desperately need the mod that let you resize markings 😅

[pallid hinge]

I want the more markings mod and vanilla animated cars - but I am trying to hold off on modding

[real fox]

RATS?????

[pallid hinge]

pretty sure they are bunnies!

[real fox]

oh shit

[pallid hinge]

I have only seen one rat so far... and I accidently hit it with my car 😦

[subtle tendon]

My game freezing >:( at least Mac semi works tho

[pallid hinge]

😢

[subtle tendon]

Also when is cockroach animals spawning

[hallow adder]

Yeah, the aiming is definitely going to be sorted out, just as what Lemmy said about the isometric aiming issue.

[pallid hinge]

💯

[hallow adder]

No live cockroaches in the game. It's all rats.

[neat saffron]

theres two types of Zomboid Players:

[hidden path]

so many good places to make a base right now

[neat saffron]

hmmm... i wish there was a recipe to whittle these branches down into a lighter bat

Theyre the perfect size and shape to make them into some cudgels

[pallid hinge]

So I was able to break into the gunstore finally, but it had literally no guns in it, but it did have a bunch of ammo which is nice - I am wonder if I should use that ammo to push the army surplus store to snowball a bit

[fluid panther]

I think this is a new fire

[pallid hinge]

Possible, but they did say it was unlikely because Yuri was moved back to MP (and fire is his pet project) - but that was nearly a year ago https://bsky.app/profile/theindiestone.bsky.social/post/3kjqcnauvml22

The Indie Stone (@theindiestone.bsky.social)

Unfortunately it's unlikely at this point, as we had to move those coders onto other tasks for now. It's still possible, but not something we're promising :)

Ecn (@ecnz.bsky.social)
Did the fire rework not make it in?

[heady field]

oof, seems like they nerfed the gun spawn?
I raided a police armory earlier, theres only ammo there xD

'rare' setting is actually rare now

[pallid hinge]

Sure seems like it!

[bright glade]

if I go into debug mode, can I combine liquids that it's not letting me combine?

[heady field]

I only found a shotgun from a police vehicle story

[bright glade]

I'm making science

[pallid hinge]

Try it for science! And report back

[heady field]

maybe not, theres also limited option of liquid u can add to an empty water storage

[pallid hinge]

Got one from one of those, and one from a police zombie that was walking down the road, and I have seen one other police zombie but he was surrounded by a lot of zeds at the time

apparently he is no longer surrounded LOL

20 daysss

holy shit my hair grew

[turbid gorge]

i hope dogs and cats come in through a mod before they wind up in vanilla because that will take a while

[pallid hinge]

someone is likely already tinkering with the code to see if they can do just that 😁

[turbid gorge]

imagine dogs helping you in combat with zombies

grabbing on their legs and pulling them over and stuff

[visual trail]

It was the screwdriver, the blue one model is bugged

the regular classic one works just fine

[pallid hinge]

OH well dang

that is kind of hilarious but also frustrating

[visual trail]

I was traveling with fkin 2 in inventory before I found the vanilla one

[visual trail]

that could be anything tbh also that's the last point on the list so we won't hear about it until later in unstable

[visual trail]

yeah they said mechanics and electrical are not affected by the XP changes

also you can't craft anything with mechanics atm

[pallid hinge]

It's more that I want to hotwire cars 🙂

[visual trail]

I keep finding keys but no vehicles around

like 2 keys same house no cars outside

[pallid hinge]

yea I have found quite a few of them in houses with no vehicles around

or on zombies that possibly wandered in from pretty far off

[visual trail]

Key chain with bottle opener and 2 keys lol

[visual trail]

lol those bunnies lived to see another day

I also watch out for animals on the road

[soft viper]

what d oes this do

[wet timber]

Is that a sandbox option or something? It allows to create dope rooftop farms I guess

[pallid hinge]

sandbox setting yea

[visual trail]

if you want a rooftop garden that's the way to go

[pallid hinge]

it says it will effect performance if you turn it on

[soft viper]

Yeah but why would it come with performance issues?

[pallid hinge]

maybe the new liquid reworks and new farming stuff cause issues at not ground level?

[soft viper]

Gahdamn

[visual trail]

beta

[wet timber]

Is it possible to make indoor gardens right now?

[soft viper]

ima do it anyway

[soft viper]

they die unless you change it in the sandbox settings iirc

[visual trail]

depends

[pallid hinge]

oh my gosh the army surplus store is covered in zombies

[visual trail]

if you want the old way the exploit way you can grown them indors

[soft viper]

Also, is the world erosion just gone now? Like setting erosion at the start of the game

I remember there was an option for this

[mild atlas]

Imo the devs should have nerfed melee combat with getting out of breath. You get out of breath from running 20 meters but then get out of breath from killing 15 zombies, which makes no sense. Swinging a weapon is much much more exhausting than running is

[visual trail]

but atm it's possible we see something similar to a greenhouse being added later in unstable

[pallid hinge]

https://steamusercontent-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2912473852302473/B837E499B638B5A073FD3054B272519ECFB6E347/

[mild atlas]

Lmao, new "realistic" zombie spawns

[wet timber]

I thought about lighthouses or maybe growing stuff under UV light. ( Yesterday I said I wanted to make a base in a bunker, it would be a cool addition to have a small farm down there with lights from painted bulbs)

[turbid gorge]

purging rosewood

[soft viper]

Boutta do a CDDA setting playthrough without the initial start, wish me luck boys

Could really do with B42 Lifestyle and True Music rn

[wet timber]

It looks achievable with sandbox settings

[visual trail]

a greenhouse maybe, lighthouses are for ships

[turbid gorge]

i hope hide in car can be implemented

zombies do seem to notice you slighly less far away now but still

like being able to recline seat in car and lay there hidden and relaxed would help a lot

[wet timber]

Oopsie

[turbid gorge]

unless a zombie walks right up to a car and the car is turned off and everything they shouldnt notice you

[visual trail]

I get your point I agree with that feature

[soft viper]

they smell yo unshowered ahh

[pallid hinge]

I definitely don't have the ammo to take all those out, I feel like that is even worse than Echo Creek's shooting range

[visual trail]

what pop Ecn ?

multiplier?

[pallid hinge]

It's just standard apoc

no custom sandbox settings at all

[visual trail]

hmm then I'm toast cauz I can't get near that place ;)) or any major town center

it's swarming with zeds

[pallid hinge]

This is default I guess

[soft viper]

There's always drawing them out

[pallid hinge]

just went and checked sandbox settings

[soft viper]

By the way this new combat mechanic significantly increases the time for playthroughs

[pallid hinge]

that is wild, that is like x8 or something in B41

[hearty pond]

Did you loot that out of town gun place? Not sure what exactly it is but looks like a factory(?)

[pallid hinge]

don't think so - where abouts is it?

[hearty pond]

When you follow the road outside past the small farmers market stand

[cunning turtle]

[hearty pond]

You can find a prospect for it around too

[pallid hinge]

this is the only gunshop I have been able to get close to so far

[hearty pond]

Under the legend that building complex apparently has gun loot

But there's a shitton of zombies

[pallid hinge]

yea that is the shooting range

I tried luring the zombies away and almost got in but a migration happened and they nearly swallowed me up

[hearty pond]

Is the loot remotely worth the trouble? Because I'm effectively about to try and tire iron my way to the loot

[pallid hinge]

honestly I am not sure, I heard it was pretty decent but I haven't gone in there with debug to check

[hearty pond]

Guess I'm gonna go learn the hard way

[real fox]

whats the best way to level up shooting when you have 0 in aim

😹

[pallid hinge]

Shotguns - there is also aiming books you can find (as of B42)

Just a word of warning, they are loud and are going to draw EVERYTHING in

[cunning turtle]

That's true

[real fox]

might just have to go to a part of town i dont go too anymore and shoot Z's there

rn my best bet is to kill the ones that are laying down , crawlers, or laying down on a house or something

[pallid hinge]

probably your best bet - or go to a rural area out of town

[real fox]

easy shot

[pallid hinge]

so just be careful 🙂

[real fox]

really loving the updated buildings

using this motel as my base rn

[echo glen]

So i noticed that zombie can bite you while you getting out of car. But there's still no animation for this, only the progress bar. Is this a new thing or no?

[visual trail]

best aspect so far is that I've heard about skill books for weapon combat

amazing they decide to include those

If you find a maintenance skillbook

let me.know it's the only one people haven't said anything about

[pallid hinge]

Were Zomboid Guys, of course we know what coke is.

[pallid hinge]

Gosh I hope this is a thing, I honestly want to go into to debug to find out

[remote pendant]

im gonna give coke 3 booms, BOOM BOOM BOOM

[subtle tendon]

wait i think that getting in combat stance with while looking at alot of lights is what crashes the game

[cunning turtle]

Why

I think you can limit the speed with shift

[subtle tendon]

thats what crashed my game, my game froze, i rejoined and did the same thing, i combat stanced ontop of the rosewood school and i instantly froze again

[forest shore]

Shift + w turns on cruise control.

[subtle tendon]

no speed demon makes your reverse 200% louder

[pallid hinge]

Oh. My. Gosh. There is a cookie jar... and it hold cookies

The devs have thought of everything

[subtle tendon]

no you cant even use a calc >:(

[pallid hinge]

But cookie jar!!

[subtle tendon]

you can make a sheet bag 🤑

[past spear]

for anyone whos unaware, calc is short for calculator

[raw parcel]

why is soup not a fluid

[past spear]

asking the real questions

[raw parcel]

i guess thinking about it theres one good reason

the game would need to create countless fluids, in practically infinite combinations

still a bit sad, no gas can of soup

[past spear]

i wish you could clean your bandages with soup

[lament crow]

anyone use the bandits mod in 42 here i need some help

[heady field]

how do u make bonfire now? I tried to pick up one beside a house and it giving me stones

[radiant zinc]

you need building menu

[lament crow]

should say in the build menu

[radiant zinc]

they have changed it

[heady field]

oh yeah its in the build menu

I thought its in craft menu lol

[pallid hinge]

[past spear]

rip your arms

[radiant zinc]

you can read it when you open right-click menu

[radiant zinc]

[pallid hinge]

does it last a long time?

[bright glade]

the science is completed, I'm back with progress.

[radiant zinc]

well, longer than wooden one

[pallid hinge]

probably, but I have longblunt 2 already so that should help some

[pallid hinge]

[bright glade]

you may combine a maximum of eight liquids at once

[lament crow]

anyone use the bandits mod in 42 here i need some help

[past spear]

oh my god i could make a rum & coke in zomboid now

[bright glade]

this is the most cursed beverage I could think of creating, you're welcome

[past spear]

drink it drink it drink it drink it

[pallid hinge]

That sounds delicious

[bright glade]

I've included poison in this beverage

and also it is a product of the debug mode

you cannot obtain that specific ingredient in normal gameplay

also I've already tried mixing honey in the normal gameplay to beverages, but it seems like it won't let me

there's a fluid setting in the debug console, and even this won't let me create the everything potion

if I was more.. knowledgeable with how these things work, I could probably do it, but maybe there's a reason why it won't let me combine more than 8 at once

and yet, I consider this a win, I aimed to create a potion. A monstrosity of mixed liquids and I succeeded

and also this is drinkable, I tested it

[native spear]

Can you just draw now? Like you haves drawn out of your map

[pallid hinge]

It's the draw on the map mod

[severe egret]

Ah makes sense

[leaden sphinx]

On apoc, the only way you getting gas is if you get to a gas station before power turns off

otherwise you are praying for a 1 gasoline car

[pallid hinge]

yea luckily I have found a ton of gas cans so I have just been filling them up as I go while I try to find a genny mag lol

[autumn pier]

do generators ever spawn with fuel? even a little?

[leaden sphinx]

0%

[severe egret]

Way too many zeds for that
And it seems harder to lure them away now. Its like they always get sucked back in to high value locations

[leaden sphinx]

find a siren vehicle or wreck

[pallid hinge]

Yea I think I am gonna have to tow an ambulence

[visual trail]

that's cause the heat map changed

[leaden sphinx]

or spawn in newb zone (Echo creek)

[autumn pier]

They also have a big presence inside buildings, had a close call with 12 firefighting zeds appearing out of thin air

trying to get into the fire station kitchen

[severe egret]

But that just determines spawn right? Not so much zeds seeming to magnetize to locations

[pallid hinge]

I thought they fixed that

[visual trail]

spawn locations changed but the heat map changed as well

[autumn pier]

You can also customize where the zeds spawn

[pallid hinge]

The magnetizing is them trying to fill the spot that was emptied via migration more than likely

[visual trail]

the heat map is like their own matrix it's hard to explain

[autumn pier]

so you can set it so that zeds spawn around buildings (outside) or inside buildings exclusively

[severe egret]

You're misunderstanding me. Im saying the heatmap determines zed spawn, it never caused them to like, return to the high value areas after being lured away, which is what it feels like is happening a lot. Might be imagining it

[autumn pier]

There's also an option for them to "spawn anywhere" which I'm guessing might lead to what we see in B41 with several hordes on the highway

[visual trail]

remember the sheep's matrix ?

[leaden sphinx]

zombies migrate back into empty areas.

[visual trail]

no no I noticed the same thing

[autumn pier]

Also migration is actually what it says and zeds will now move into empty cells, probably widely known already but still

[autumn pier]

yup

[pallid hinge]

it used to be on a specific hour of the day, now it seems random

[visual trail]

or it's different

with new algorithms at it's core

[pallid hinge]

well you used to be able to set it, like every 6 hours they migrate, or 12 (which was default I believe)

[visual trail]

because it doesn't feel that way like in b41 at least not for me

[severe egret]

Ah ok

[pallid hinge]

looks like it is still a thing

[autumn pier]

In B41, it was only ever inter cell migration
B42 introduces cell to cell migration

[visual trail]

yeah that's what I was saying

[severe egret]

Interesting

[pallid hinge]

I am so glad cell to cell migration is a thing tbh

so cool

[visual trail]

they kinda like migrate all over the map now

[severe egret]

For sure, i just hope they arent telling zeds to immediately return to the hot zones they started in if lured away. Cause thats what I'm feeling is happening

[autumn pier]

Me too, but mostly because it justifies turning off despawn even more

[visual trail]

this is what I'm thinking is already happening

[severe egret]

Pretty rough

[pallid hinge]

yea it is rough

[autumn pier]

My personal reasoning being that the bridges were blown off to kentucky so even though over a billion people got infected, access to knox county is restricted

[pallid hinge]

that is why I haven't been able to get into the shooting range yet

[visual trail]

makes the hot zones dangerous

[autumn pier]

idk about yall but that's how I see it

[pallid hinge]

every time I try, they come right back

[visual trail]

I'm guessing new mechanic in the way zeds behave as of now

[severe egret]

Which is good for sure. But maybe slightly unfair like this haha
Feels like im fighting the game systems and not stupid ass zeds brains

[autumn pier]

If B42 had a motto, it would probably be "One day at a time"

[fierce mountain]

Have we been able to test if clearing a area before attempting to loot and relogging clears away the chance of loot due to zombie density loot modifier?

[pallid hinge]

you know what it feels like to me? It feels like it was designed for MP and or NPCs

[fierce mountain]

(reloading the save that is)

[visual trail]

happened in riverside as well at the gas station and school, after I lured them away, they seemed to come back after a while

[autumn pier]

Fence fighting is good if you know how to do it

Helps when the arms are strained

[pallid hinge]

I hope they nerf fence fighting lol

[autumn pier]

I mean, they have nerfed it in a way already

[fierce mountain]

Someone earlier did mention their cleared safehouse on the highway regularly gets zombies arriving every 4-5 days.

[pallid hinge]

yea but I mean more - make use of that grapple tech, make the zombies pull you over the fence or something

it's just so easy to cheese still

[visual trail]

windows as well

[pallid hinge]

yup!

[autumn pier]

Technically, they already do. If you have a horde behind a fence, and you stand too close to them, you will be dragged down and killed even though the zeds aren't technically in contact

[severe egret]

[autumn pier]

I speak from experience btw

[severe egret]

That defs needs reporting lol

[pallid hinge]

it's a start 🙂

[autumn pier]

Eh, it was already present in B41

[severe egret]

We talking tall fences?

[autumn pier]

Nah, short fences only, tall fences are basically walls

[severe egret]

Ah mk well nah yeah thats pretty fair

[autumn pier]

Pretty freaky zed to be pulling you over a 6ft fence

[ornate parcel]

more tvs

[kind hound]

can anyone tell me how i get the recipe for magazine armor?

[autumn pier]

media just killed itself so I'll probably dismantle two and store one till it's useful again

[raw parcel]

They need to make the underground cisterns feeding the gas pumps accessible

with some work from the character

if i wanted to suck a gas station dry irl i wouldnt bother with the pumps

[autumn pier]

I just want to be able to dig tunnels ngl

imagine if I could connect all the basements in rosewood residential

or better yet, dig to the lab bunker

[raw parcel]

Digging without powered equipment is extremely hard

just digging a hole to make a small water pond takes an hour irl

[soft viper]

Anyone noticed that Insanely Rare got fixed

[raw parcel]

did that in my garden

[autumn pier]

for sure, it would have to be powered or it would be difficult. And supports should be a requirement too

It'd be kinda silly to just have a 1km hole with no supports

literal hollow earth

[soft viper]

Minecraft

Terraria hellevators

[ornate parcel]

finally, a use for spoons & sporks

[raw parcel]

at low depth you dont need very sturdy support either

just wood beams or some stone masonry

[past spear]

your zomboid base

[autumn pier]

you can also use them to become civilized 🥸 (no more chugging down chili cans)

[ornate parcel]

carpentry lvl 2 🗣️ 🗣️

[autumn pier]

yeah this is true

[severe egret]

Man, it really is important to go through the sandbox settings

this explains a bit

[autumn pier]

IMO I'd put it at 1

[severe egret]

lmao literally what i did, love it

[forest shore]

Especially in Kentucky - lots of clay and limestone. It takes forever to dig, especially once you get 10 feet down which is the depth you'd be digging a basement at.

[forest shore]

There's a setting for the TV learning too I think.

[heady field]

is this a good base location

[autumn pier]

Seems rather lackluster, any amenities nearby? Workbenches, lakes? Services?

[heady field]

just a lake xD

[autumn pier]

Consider that when making a base

Might be worth it maybe

[heady field]

I like car so Im looking for new building with garage, so far this one is biggest

[autumn pier]

Fair enough, I’d settle down then

[forest shore]

To be honest - any building can be a good base. It depends on what you want/need.

[heady field]

btw anyone found trunk with 300+ storage?

[cunning turtle]

[real fox]

Largest has been 140

[heady field]

im using chevalier step van and it has 208, gonna use this for moving stuff from my previous base

[real fox]

From what I’ve ran into

[turbid gorge]

are they going to add a true sort of electrical system with wiring and extension cables and such?

[heady field]

got another working car but I think I'll need to add more gas to get here

[forest shore]

I believe that's planned on the future.

[turbid gorge]

i would love windmills but moreso A WATER WHEEL

considering this game is set with a bigass river the water wheel would be infinite free electricity

[lethal wolf]

What in tarnation, is that not just one, but two...?

[heady field]

maybe we can unlock hotwire by leveling electrical in future

[turbid gorge]

thats been ingame for years

[heady field]

[turbid gorge]

how did you not know that?

[heady field]

wut? u can unlock hotwire?

[forest shore]

Step van use to be 160, and that's the highest capacity vehicle (or was at least)

[turbid gorge]

yes just level mechanics and electrical

[lethal wolf]

2 mechanical, 1 electrical

[heady field]

I thought thats from mod, the burglar magazine thing

[forest shore]

No. You can read the magazine to skip the requirement with that mod. But 2 mechanic 1 electrical has always unlocked hotwiring.

[real fox]

[heady field]

been playing with mods so idk whats vanilla anymore, this is nice feature gg

[real fox]

Me rn after staying up way to late playing zomboid lol

[forest shore]

Me rn waking up at 6 am to play zomboid

[real fox]

Me going to bed at 6am

[heady field]

pz character got more sleep than the player haha

[turbid gorge]

you have no idea how sucky it felt missing so many quality of life mods

we need like 30 more QoL's added to vanilla

[copper locust]

thats it, uninstalling

[turbid gorge]

hmmmm i shouled eat the diseased rotting corpse that can infect me with a deadly virus

[copper locust]

who said anything about eating?

[turbid gorge]

we should be able to do that for uninfected humans tho lol

[copper locust]

💯

[turbid gorge]

people gonna riot once dogs and cats arrive ingame tho and you can do this to them too

Desperate times

[heady field]

food is food

[leaden sphinx]

Waiting for someone to code a T-rex mod

[turbid gorge]

why have they still not added putting flashlights on belts

[turbid gorge]

i want resident evil monsters and mutants running around

can you imagine being chased by mr X in project zomboid

[turbid gorge]

yeah bro just cook your rotten beef

that makes it safe, that's totally how decay works, rancidity is just a myth pushed by big government

[forest shore]

Mix soda with water so you can auto drink soda. Constant caffeine. Never have to sleep again.

[ornate parcel]

is that a real feature moon

[cunning turtle]

[forest shore]

Same. But I don't think modding tools are out.

[heady field]

zombified T-rex

[forest shore]

Yes. You can mix soda with water and done at the right amount allows you to auto drink. And soda is bugged right now so it removes your need to sleep.

[cunning turtle]

Waiting for someone to code nemesis mod

[heady field]

its like zombie version of durango

[ornate parcel]

what's a good ratio

[forest shore]

I think for it to be auto drink it needs minimum half water? I'm not sure what the 'minimum' caffeine intake is to keep sleep at bay though.

[heady field]

burglar has some recipe unlocked now

[ornate parcel]

hemp growing season lmfao

[cunning turtle]

That's new

[forest shore]

I wonder if only hemp is planned for vanilla or if hemps close relative is planned too.

[wet timber]

Does anyone know how to find this place?

How does a ramming a bunny get my hood condition down to 28% from 55

[remote bear]

Its gonna be devestating when in game pets die

[ornate parcel]

it was pregnant (counted as 9 rabbits)

[heady field]

[turbid gorge]

a rabbit wouldnt even touch your bumper

your wheel would just smash it and you'd feel a bump in your suspension

[storm monolith]

my game freezes when i try spawning in , do you guys know what i could do until the next patch?

[queen shadow]

I will have SO many cats

[turbid gorge]

imagine the louisville animal shelter and all those animals trapped on a time limit

[queen shadow]

I hope someone makes a horses mod

[turbid gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/goodbye-gif-26010492

[glacial cape]

Anyone know how to pick up the machines

[turbid gorge]

me on my way to louisville animal shelter to save the animals

[queen shadow]

Not everything is pickupable yet

[ornate parcel]

yeah no I agree, the vehicle damage even on the lowest setting feels exaggerated

[glacial cape]

I mean if my dog attracts a whole horde of zombies, its gonna get it

[turbid gorge]

it def is this is why im desperatlely wanting standardized vehicle upgrades

i want to up-armor my cars again

'oh armored vehicles are op and wah wah wah wah waaaaaaaaaa'
