Build 42 Unstable Out Now

[hollow mica]

it does?

in zomboid I mean

[regal spindle]

yeah, brains have a primitive use for tanning

[heady field]

oh didnt noticed it, which section?

[regal spindle]

Character, it's called muscle strain factor, you can reduce it or turn it off completely

[heady field]

found smth new everyday on b42 lol

[heady field]

🤝

maybe I'll reduce it, I think turning it off completely would be too op

[cunning turtle]

Yeah

[sturdy wren]

no amd fix :(

[cunning turtle]

[regal spindle]

zombie corpses sure are extra bumpy under my car wheels

Like to the point I wander if it's meant to be this bad, drove over 3 bodies at 15mph and almost flipped

[cunning turtle]

[heady field]

anw im starting new run, heres livestock farmer

its the only option that give u bonus if u want to go butchering stuffs, other than that it doesnt offer much

[muted star]

interesting grass

[shell lagoon]

i think they should add a trait to be lactose intolerant

[static heart]

small hotfix

[heady field]

can u make these cure recipe for plant from magazine?

from gardener *

[inner wind]

i bet you've debug mode enabled, it was a thing even back in b41

[cunning turtle]

I like that grass

[proud moth]

vlone zombie

[heady field]

oh that mod broke for me, it disabled the minimap

that stat bar mod

[proud moth]

really? thanks i was wondering why my minimap wasnt there i thought i forgot to enable it lol

[muted star]

where to find animals like sheep and cow

[delicate rover]

we can roll our own ciggies? does that mean we can grow tobacco now for renewable cigs?

[heady field]

I found one around the barn, and some pigs

[frozen wyvern]

I think so, yeah

[heady field]

not sure about that, but from the trait description I think u can unlock that recipe

or thats just a spawn item like cigs without any way to make it xD

[proud moth]

anyone know if calipers have a use?

[forest shore]

Not sure what they're used for yet. My guess is leathermaking.

[forest shore]

Don't do that with a horse trailer - it will flip that thing is so bouncy

[proud moth]

my guess is some sort of metalworking

[cunning turtle]

V of vlone

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[hallow adder]

v42.0.2 is out

Yet none of the Youtubers wanted to move to this build...

😨😨😨Are people really doing a challenge run?

[cunning turtle]

Yeah

[forest shore]

42.0.2 just dropped today - odds are the youtubers are uploading already recorded videos.

[cunning turtle]

.

[sly pivot]

TAA please. No. Why? I cant. Please. TAA please, TAA. TAA TAA TAA TAA

[cunning turtle]

Taaaa

[delicate rover]

how do the chicken hutches work? I cant seem to find a way to "view" the chickens inside the hutch. just watched 2 come out of one that i didnt even know were in it

[glacial cape]

Has anyone found skill books other than aiming and long blade?

[ebon maple]

is this polish or belarusian language
btw still understandable for a ukranian

[glacial cape]

maybe its a feature they're planning on adding other combat skill books later on and honestly I'm kind of all for it if their goal is for long term survival & servers which can run indefinitely it kinda makes sense

[forest shore]

My poor steamdeck

[glacial cape]

before in build 41 I kind of looked down a bit on modded combat skill books and the likes and thought if you want the combat skill you gotta work on it and grind but for longevity of a server or character it doesn't really work very well because 1 fatal flaw especially on mp could mean you're kinda useless in combat until you get those skills back up(and you can still die doing that as well)

obviously sandbox settings exist and you can tweak the game to how you like as well

[forest shore]

rip steamdeck (I have to manually remove all these freaking pigs)

[glacial cape]

with how brutal the new combat is with having to deal with muscle strain/endurance as well which seems to appear a lot quicker than it did in build 41 it would just end up making the grind back to high level combat skill even more painful so I'm wondering if the combat books are sort of an experimental feature they've added in to see how people feel about it

[glacial cape]

How in the hell did that happen, also build 42 works on the steam deck now?

[cunning turtle]

Xdn't

[cunning turtle]

Blud is cooked

[forest shore]

Build 42 has always worked on steamdeck - the controls just suck. But I use my steamdeck as a desktop so it doesn't matter.

[glacial cape]

Fair enough

[forest shore]

It's a bug - sometimes when animals age up they duplicate.

[cunning turtle]

lol

[heady field]

what am I missing here?

[glacial cape]

Recipe? Surface? Or light

[heady field]

doesnt show why I cant craft lol

other item showed what im missing when I cant craft it

[glacial cape]

Could I see the full crafting ui?

Instead of just the thing you're trying to craft

[heady field]

I cant open it in full because the game resolution is too big for my small screen xD
and it wont allow me to change it in settings 💀

[glacial cape]

Do you see the three icons at the top right of the crafting ui? One should be a open book, the other a sun and a table

[heady field]

this?

[glacial cape]

Yea

[heady field]

does it mean it require recipe book or smth

[glacial cape]

Yeah the open book is if a item requires a recipe hover over it and it should tell you if you require the recipe or not

[heady field]

these are unlocked

[heady field]

so I need to find the recipe z-z

[glacial cape]

If it says not learned or that its required then yea

[heady field]

oh yea I can check some item that doesnt resize the crafting UI

thx I learned like 5 things today, love the game community haha

[glacial cape]

Np glad to help

If you go into the info panel of your pz player you can view which recipes you have unlocked

[heady field]

guess i'll leave the magazine somewhere for when I got the recipe

[astral summit]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3387703713 this will help solve your clay problem

[regal spindle]

Well so far I only see skill books for long blade and the gun skills so it might just be for the rarer or harder to use weapon types?

[spare breach]

didnt we already talk about this

[spare breach]

clay is genuinely not hard to find tho

[regal spindle]

making a primitive smithing station isn't hard to do, but you'll find yourself lacking blacksmith tools to use with it so eh...

[polar lake]

I guess it just gives guns a better place in PZ

[visual sand]

Guns also give muscle strain

Found this out yesterday when my arms felt like they were going to fall off after 60 shotgun shells

[glacial cape]

I thought guns were already popular in pz, ive always used melee though so idk

[glacial cape]

Maybe or its a thing they're considering further implementing

[sturdy wren]

i mean we did 10 hours ago apparently

[spare breach]

even earlier i mean

[hot grail]

We can put barbed wire on plungers, brooms and hockey sticks, but not on baseball bats

[regal spindle]

You kinda either went all in on them or avoided them like the plague

[twilit cedar]

How are shooting after .2 patch guys?

[humble sail]

Okay so i listen to EMS on the radio every day and i always assumed that everything after the 'tommorow' segment referred to tomorrowso when i saw air acitivy detected i assumed it was for tomorrow.... it wasnt

[twilit cedar]

Also how does the .1 nerf on the muscle strain to you?

[humble sail]

Luckily i was inside 😅

[polar lake]

yeah but 60 shotgun shells mean more kills than 60 swings

[regal spindle]

Bone gloves

perhaps a tad morbid but it's somewhat exciting to have hand armour

my goal in life is to turn my entire right arm into an invulnerable wall, because I am so tired of right arm injuries

[glacial cape]

How'd you level tailoring? Same way as b41?

[humble sail]

Also i didnt realise the helicopter alert for the radio was a bit spaced out from the regular broadcast

[humble sail]

id believe so

[regal spindle]

More or less, it helps to start with it of course

[glacial cape]

It's mainly because ammo was sparse especially on servers, and ammo is a lot rarer in b42

[heady field]

this big trailer only has 26 storage

[regal spindle]

That and you either boosted the heck out of the skill or you were never getting it to a usable level where the noise was worth it

[cunning turtle]

[humble sail]

[glacial cape]

Yeah you always had to build around guns, which doesn't leave a lot of points left for crafting/survival skills

[heady field]

oh wait theres another storage, +13
so its 39 xD

[humble sail]

[wooden ravine]

what is in those protective cases?

[humble sail]

I hate fog, its one of the times ill do nothing all day accept organise and read

1 day less of searching for the generator manual

[hot grail]

I love fog because of that lol. I never have time to organise my loot

[tacit bane]

Did this patch fix shotguns or are they still single hit?

[regal spindle]

I'm not sure if they're even still supposed to be multi-hit at all? is it really in need of a "fix" if not? does make them rather crap though

[cunning turtle]

In which place are you looking for it

[lament crow]

Do you guys now how to destroy corpses now or is it normal like 41

[tacit bane]

I’ve heard it’s a know bug

[regal spindle]

Looks like the best thing to do is to dump them on one tile and campfire/burn them, bit tedious to do though if there's a lot

[lament crow]

cool so same way as 41 thanks 👍

[regal spindle]

I mean, I used to get rid of bodies by putting them in a dumpster and deleting them

[heady field]

speed demon moment

[visual sand]

True and real

[shell lagoon]

YOU CAN ROLL D20S OMGG AND ALL THE OTHER DICE

best game to exist ong

[pallid hinge]

Yea, I love this 😍

[cunning turtle]

W speed moment

[visual sand]

Would be nice if we had an animation for throwing them in a dumpster

[shell lagoon]

can someone explain me what is correction fluid? and why can i sniff it!!??!

[hearty pond]

its that white liquid you can put on paper to white-out a word to correct it

[vague trench]

A good sniff

[hearty pond]

it shares a few components with glue, which results in the same mini-high some people experience from sniffing it

[regal spindle]

so I got a bucket of animal blood, any idea what I can use this for? maybe blood pudding or something

[rich shuttle]

Salad

[hearty pond]

also, how are the guns post hotfix now?

[regal spindle]

I mean, I'm still not impressed by the new crosshair, as far as I can tell under the hood it's still dice roll based aiming

[remote bear]

Aim on the head or slightly above it.

That way you will hit more often than miss.

If you aim center mass your character will misalign with the target

[regal spindle]

and of course the bullet is teleported to narnia on a miss even if the zombie is stood shoulder to shoulder back to front w ith others

I'm just spoiled by mods that added actual projectiles, ATRO my beloved

[hearty pond]

i think they are actual projectiles?

[regal spindle]

if they vanish into the ether if they don't hit the exact target you aim at then they are not, actual projectiles would go past the missed target and hit the zombie behind it

[hearty pond]

like I have missed on something before and had something behind it hit a few times now

[remote bear]

The new crosshair works more like Improved Projectiles, where if you aim wrong it's not gonna register to the Zomboid

[shell lagoon]

ohh now i get it why the sniff

[remote bear]

Or at least, that is how I have tested it

[regal spindle]

never seen one of these bullets kill a bystander zombie on a miss myself

[vague trench]

It makes sadness go away too lol

[remote bear]

Well, again, try aiming for the head or slightly above it.

[regal spindle]

you say that like I haven't been

[remote bear]

I've always found it to work in most cases.

[regal spindle]

maybe the m9 just sucks, on a muckabout character with 10 in every skill it still wasn't exactly the kind of menacing accuracy I'd expect at that skill level

[hearty pond]

I've had about ~60 gun kills with the little munition we get to start with

so about 30-40% accuracy for a pistol is not that bad

[hearty pond]

but i also try to snipe with pistol so I miss more than i should, lol

[regal spindle]

how'd you make it look like that?

[remote bear]

I mean depending how you also aim, you have to look out for how your dude kinda aligns with the target, so I've noticed.

[remote bear]

• Aim Texture = 4
• Reticle Texture = 4
• Valid Reticle Texture = 3

[hearty pond]

thats adjustable?

well I'll be doing that i find the red a little hard to see

[remote bear]

Notice how weird the character is when I aim like this, most cases this was a miss.

[remote bear]

yuh, you can make it look like the og advanced trajectory mod

[regal spindle]

it'd be nice if the target reticle customization had a preview

[native spear]

is that a new flyer?

[regal spindle]

I get the reason for the discomfort mechanic but in my brain it's being filed under "MP Mechanic" and I find myself likely to find some way to turn it off

[native spear]

why does kneepads make you uncomofrtable? wouldnt being protected from bites make you like ultra conforable>?

[regal spindle]

it's also relative? like people get used to wearing that sorta shit

the biggest offenders for discomfort appear to be respirators and gas masks? which I kinda get I suppose

[gleaming perch]

Because in general wearing them feel uncomfortable

its like big clunky protective wear which make you feel awkward

[remote bear]

knee pads are kinda uncomfortable tbh

[regal spindle]

again, relative, some people get so used to wearing certain equipment that they feel wierd without it

[remote bear]

Especially ones that slide off your knees.

[regal spindle]

sounds like bad kneepads to me

[native spear]

Oh ok thanks guys I’ve never wore those

[cunning turtle]

[gleaming perch]

theres probably gonna be a modded trait for removing that moodle or something

[native spear]

So with this do you think you should slowly become more comfortable?

[remote bear]

Wore a lot during Taekwondo matches, shit would always slide off my knee or go up towards my knees from my ankles.

@native spear I think type of clothing and just in general armour makes you uncomfortable.

[gleaming perch]

Yeah

[regal spindle]

I dunno, all discomfort does is give you depression afaik, which is just wierd in general anyways

[gleaming perch]

Most likely the case as a 'tradeoff' for more protection

[native spear]

what does bad smell do?

[regal spindle]

like oh no I'm wearing a respirator and a bulletproof vest, I am now sad

[remote bear]

me honestly

[regal spindle]

think it's an indicator for corpse sickness or something, apparantly thats for real now

[remote bear]

Corpse Sickness has always been kind of shitty in this game, cause Gasmasks didnt do shit in b41

[native spear]

and so in turn respirators should help yes? With corpse sickness

[remote bear]

Unless you had Working Masks mod, now in B42 it seems like a feature to be able to protect yourself from massive nausea from corpse sickenss.

[regal spindle]

They prevent bad smell gettin to you

but are uncomfortable as balls so up to you if thats worth it

[remote bear]

You need to make sure you have respirators.

Filters I mean with the Gasmasks and Respirators.

[native spear]

getting corpse sickness isn’t insta death right? I thought I saw once that once you start getting queasy that’s it from corpse sickness that death maybe?

[remote bear]

It gradually hits your health

[regal spindle]

naw it just raises your sickness level slowly, when you get to feverish thats genuinely dangerous

[remote bear]

at like level 3 or 4 corspe sickness, nausuea

[native spear]

Ah ok Tyty

[regal spindle]

used to be you couldn't tell you were getting it very easily

[native spear]

fever kills you so quickly, why do you die so fast to them?

[waxen oar]

question when it comes to butchering a animal is there a best knife to use or does it matter at all

[native spear]

you don’t die that quick to real fevers

[remote bear]

well obviously, but its a game

[vague trench]

the straps n stuff like that can get annoying after a few hours

[remote bear]

Does Noxious lvl 3 start hitting your health?

Has anyone noticed any health damage?

[native spear]

Understandable

[stiff finch]

anyone else found bug where he couldnt dismantle watches?

[vague trench]

can you press b and see if its in there?

[regal spindle]

make sure the area is well lit, you can't do much of anything in the dark

[cunning turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/understandable-have-nice-day-have-a-great-day-have-a-good-day-nice-gif-20850110

[hearty pond]

what in the unholy compression

[stiff finch]

yep, twas light, sank you

[blazing coral]

if you favorite an item it won't get used in crafting recipes. nice

[stiff finch]

also, can u melt jewlery?

[gleaming perch]

i dont think so but I really hope we can in the full stable release

[raw parcel]

golden crowbar

golden hoe

diamond hammer

[gleaming perch]

Real

[cunning turtle]

Like Minecraft

[gleaming perch]

Duhhhh theres no Diamond HAMMER in MINECRAFT....

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[cunning turtle]

But I meant like craft stuff in diamond, gold, etc like in Minecraft

[visual trail]

you can pick thread from rags and patch holes like in B41, later I've found that using the spinning wheel which enables some rudimentary crafting options levels up tailoring nicely

[humble sail]

House book cases and mail boxes, sorry for the late reply i was eating dinner

[stiff finch]

wtf xD

[visual trail]

do it ! you won't regret it

[gleaming perch]

You will regret it

[humble sail]

what is it??

[stiff finch]

i did it like 4 times

5, its empty now xd

[humble sail]

Bros about to get corrected

[stiff finch]

wtf

[cunning turtle]

If u're in rosewood I recommend you to go to the school, what did you eat

[stiff finch]

will i die?

[lunar summit]

Eventually you will yes

[humble sail]

Im in the new echo creek area so its a lot more rural, also i had tomato pasta, unfortunately without cheese because our grater broke

Lots of farms and such

[lunar summit]

I don't know if smelling the thing will make you die or not though

[humble sail]

I mean its correction fluid isnt that what you put over your writing to hide it? like tipex

[vague trench]

yah lol

[humble sail]

Like, when your writing on lined paper

Why have you resorted to sniffing tippex?

[visual trail]

nope, just crafted the primitive furnace

[humble sail]

Maybe you get high off fumes idk, keep us updated xD

[humble sail]

Yeah thats the stuff

[visual trail]

maybe the tier 2 and 3 will allow that but idk right now

[gleaming perch]

You get high off the fumes

[humble sail]

Id imagine

Is there a setting in B42 to prevent zomboids from damaging the tall fences?

I know there was one in b41 but idk if its been transfered or not

[blazing coral]

afaik they can't damage them yet but it will be a setting when they can

[humble sail]

Ah okay, im assuming they can damage player constructed tall fences/gates then since i saw a setting regarding player construction health or something like that

[cunning turtle]

Ahh well look in the mails then, sadness

[humble sail]

Thanks 🥲 Im yet to find any annotated maps

[cunning turtle]

Good luck

[blazing coral]

my bad, I thought you were talking about metal fences. idk about wood fences

[stiff finch]

alsoo, how can u wash bandages now?

[velvet egret]

water from your inventory or washing machines

[cunning turtle]

This blud knows a lot

[humble sail]

I was 😁

Are there any librarys in echo creek

[stiff finch]

with b?

[hollow mica]

help, how can I light my basement base after electricity shutoff? is a generator the only way?

[blazing coral]

[hollow mica]

[velvet egret]

lamps work too

[humble sail]

I see a loy of ppl based where you are, im currently at the chicken farm to the far right side of the main road on your map, off screen

Theres a bunch of eggs and chickens there if your ever looking for extra food/easy butchering levels since theres LOADS

[blazing coral]

I passed by there recently. I'm tempted to move there honestly

[humble sail]

Dont blame you, its very secure, only low fenced area is the entrance and a lil section behind the house plus a very small amount of windows that face the outside but thats only like 2 i think

[digital cloud]

kfc time

[humble sail]

Easily fortifiable and nicely sized house, so i think im going to base here for a while atleast untill i find somewhere else

[humble sail]

Ong

[digital cloud]

bro is it just me or did west point and myldraugh switch

[humble sail]

Theres so many ive been debating getting another fridge/freeser from another house bc i probably wont have enough space

[digital cloud]

muld is packed now and west point is chill as a cucumber i fought 1 horde downtown and it was light work

[humble sail]

Also why im so stressed trying to find this generator manual lol

[digital cloud]

midraugh had 400 zombies guarding the freaking gas pump

[humble sail]

Maybe they migrated??

[blazing coral]

only problem rn is moving my stuff to another place. I towed a beer delivery van with a good trunk but I need the skill to hotwire it

[humble sail]

Fairs

Is not far a drive at all too which is nice

[digital cloud]

day 1

idfk tho

[humble sail]

Oh yeah no idea

I did hear from somewhere that theyre more scattered now?? I think?

[ornate parcel]

is the deaf trait worth

[humble sail]

No

Not imo but its preference i guess

[ornate parcel]

it's so many points tho

[digital cloud]

meta events

[humble sail]

If you do take it make sure you spin occasionally

[digital cloud]

no unless you like getting back shots

[ornate parcel]

[digital cloud]

yeah

[ornate parcel]

what are your go-to traits

[humble sail]

Not even that, you wont be able to tell if a zombies on the other side of a tall wooden fence or in the next room etc

[digital cloud]

thin skinned slow healer slow reader

[vague trench]

can we only fix deep wounds with sutures lol ;l

[digital cloud]

reg needles work too

[humble sail]

Thin skinned, that one where you get sick easily, slow reader and slow healer

They nerfed high thirst too 😦

[digital cloud]

prone to illness

[vague trench]

ok ill look i accidently stepped in glass with both feet lol

[gleaming perch]

Carpentry leveling up makes sense

[digital cloud]

😭😭😭😭 make a bone needle

[humble sail]

Thats the one

[vague trench]

bruh lol

[hallow sail]

Slow reader 😦

[vague trench]

im only a day old lol

[spare breach]

don't mind me, just casually gave myself knapping skill leve 1 from the debug mode because its otherwise outright atrocious to grind

[humble sail]

Everything is optional and up to your own preference

[ornate parcel]

illiterate is where it's at 💯

[gleaming perch]

use flint flake and start carving buddy

[humble sail]

If you want, give yourself a little extra starting points at the starter settings, as long as your enjoying the game

[vague trench]

lol think ill just make a new char on the save and let this one die , it takes too long to find stuff perma crouching lol

[humble sail]

Die in style, take on a horde

[vague trench]

yah exactly , revenge!

[hallow sail]

💀

[humble sail]

Fr i was exactly the same, but now that i live in rural echo creek i only crouch when looting a new building or when i wanna sneak attack zomboids

Or when i 'nope' out after spotting a horde lol

[vague trench]

yeah i want to make a farm lol i think im just gonna fix up this van and leave this cursed mudra lol

[humble sail]

[blazing coral]

coffee machines work??

[cunning turtle]

[gleaming perch]

WTF NO WAY

[vague trench]

oh wow thats awesome lol

[blazing coral]

I right-clicked to disassemble it but I notice there was an option for it

[dawn elm]

I wonder if the soda dispensers work

[blazing coral]

I don't have coffee on me to test it tho

[vague trench]

nevermind the cock kicking my ass lol i just respawned lol wtf

[autumn pier]

Extreme camping

[humble sail]

'You cant park there sir'

[vague trench]

lol

[blazing coral]

wait, wasn't electrical exp being re-balanced from disassembling to crafting? I got 0 exp crafting timers

[vague trench]

i just had to jump a fence because of a chicken!!!

[glacial cape]

In my first week I got tripped over by a swarm of rats

[vague trench]

lol i had that happen with me and a mouse like wth lol

[glacial cape]

These animals are really trying to mess us up they're not even carnivores either 😂

[astral torrent]

The new ranch or mansion that is northeast of Muldraugh near the lake is too broken.

[vague trench]

i find a car, fix it and bruh

[native spear]

I just ran over a horde of rabbits, W update

[frozen wyvern]

I ran one over and now i feel an unshakable guilt

[keen gorge]

I just feel rage if I run them over

[sturdy wren]

Rip frunk

[keen gorge]

Their skeletons must be made of titanium since running over one gives silly amounts of damage to your car

[humble sail]

I just want to boil some rags to sanitise them for impromptu bandages, but im worried about the oven setting my house on fire bc ive never used it before, any tips?😅

[native spear]

oh no, ive ran over like 3 hordes now, one time I honked, they didnt move, not my fault

[cunning turtle]

You can use alcohol or booze to improve your bandages or rags too

[vague trench]

anyone know if there is a higher res for this ? i want to use it instead of pz map

[opaque schooner]

You can extract the higher res map from the game files I believe

[keen gorge]

Reddit has one

[velvet egret]

if you’re on mobile Discord, open this image in a browser for a better res

[keen gorge]

I don't exactly have the link though but it was just recently posted

[velvet egret]

nvm you probably won’t need a browser. It just takes a while for Discord to load it at high res

[humble sail]

Got none, plus if i did id rather save them for molotovs, ive still got water turned on and ive a lot of rags to disinfect

[vague trench]

yay thanks goys !

[lofty laurel]

Is water broken?

Cannot mix cement

[opaque schooner]

Do you have a bucket

[frozen wyvern]

Honestly i kinda hope they replace the in gamw map style with the starting town selection one

It looks phenomenal

[opaque schooner]

Both have their ups and downs tbh

[frozen wyvern]

True

[lofty laurel]

Do I need a completely seperate bucket or is the one the water is in good?

[opaque schooner]

I’m not sure honestly, I just believe a bucket is required

[wet timber]

no fort knox fake map bait don't click >:((

[frozen wyvern]

Oh also did they add the international airport?

[wet timber]

there is nuclear bunker as well

[frozen wyvern]

Its pretty advertised on the map above

[wet timber]

https://pzwiki.net/w/images/thumb/1/18/Knox_County_Prospect_Map.jpg/2067px-Knox_County_Prospect_Map.jpg

[frozen wyvern]

Ok great! I honestly have never really explored much before so now is the perfect timr

[wet timber]

Bunker isn't on a map tho

and there isn't a much loot in it, just a cool place for a base

[humble sail]

Ok so ive learned disinfecting rags is broken

atleast by boiling them anyway

[lofty laurel]

Okay so if you cannot mix cement empty the bucket of water and refill it

[karmic hedge]

B42 is looking sexylicious

[cedar nest]

is it normal for digging graves to have my character go into agony from the strain. they have the stout trait lol

[vague trench]

lol

[karmic hedge]

How long does it take to dig graves

[vague trench]

diggin sux

[cedar nest]

yeah ive been trying to avoid fighting by base but still have to burry a few bodies. i dont rembember grave digging being so costly

[vague trench]

i havent even bothered really moving corpses , i love the new animation, just takes too long and im very impatient in nature lol so just lets them go with the earf

[real fox]

does the recent patch apply to current saves as far as jamming goes?

[vague trench]

ya lol

[pallid hinge]

Yee

[real fox]

okii

[visual trail]

all future updates to unstable will affect current save

let's hope they won't break them

also lol the primitive kiln and advanced kiln require same building materials

and the animation is hilarious the char basically lifts his hands up like worshiping the zed god and bam the kiln appears lmao

[spare breach]

lol so silly

[slim merlin]

I think the engineer profession should have access to more weapon crafting recipes

Cuz if anyone could figure out how to screw tin cans onto a baseball bat it’d be an engineer

[glacial cape]

Doubt it'll happen or I'll ever use them but it might be cool, scrap guns like the pipe weapons from fallout or whatever

[autumn pier]

HOLY METALWORKING

[vague trench]

lol yah looks like those will be great for metal workers stuff

[visual trail]

Yup we got very "initial crafting" 😉

[spark vine]

yet they have like 300-500 lol

[turbid gorge]

yeah and it sure as shit dont feel like 3-500

it feels like 3 or four sickly starving dying horses

[spark vine]

they feel like 120-180

some cars feel like 50

idk why theyve never fixed it

[pallid hinge]

The dart feels so much slower in B42 than it did in B41 - but maybe I am wrong

[scenic gazelle]

Having a SUV is the best choice imo
has 470 horse power (According to the vehicle menu) I managed to tow a standard car for kilometers

[keen gorge]

Definitely slower

[severe egret]

What shits me is that you still can't pan the screen and look further ahead while driving

Afaik

[keen gorge]

Or, at least, it seems like they need to be higher condition to maintain the same speed

[pallid hinge]

I use the pan when driving function

It took some getting used to, but now I love it

[keen gorge]

But at least my beloved ambulances are untouched

[severe egret]

Eh? It a setting somewhere or smth?

[pallid hinge]

Yea it should be in there, when you get higher up in speeds your camera moves the car to the back of the screen so you can see further ahead

[turbid gorge]

they seriously need to buff cars torque

[severe egret]

Ooh, nah i want full control of it like when on foot

[turbid gorge]

esp offroad and when hitting zombies the inertia loss

[pallid hinge]

It is jarring at first but once you are used to, makes driving so much better

[turbid gorge]

imma be reall... if you're in an SUV or biggger hitting a human is not going to slow you down that much

[pallid hinge]

Fair

[turbid gorge]

when im playing with modded in TANKS one zombie will eat like half your speed on impact

despite the bitch weighing way more than any vanilla car

that is absolutely not how physics physics lol

they want the zombies to feel like this larger than life threat but like... they're inferior to lviing humans... and living humans are rather weak animals lmao and machines easily overpower them

even if you are stood still unless its genuine dozens of zombies 5 or 6 in front of you are not gonna stop your car from pushing them over at all

https://tenor.com/view/video-game-gif-4576512

but rn the game treats zombies like they weigh as much as bigass elks that stop a huge truck dead flat

ive seen dashcams of deer jumping in front of semis and literally exploding

[tawny orbit]

Ngl they should add manual gearbox for efficient fuel and system torque by gearbox

[turbid gorge]

that would be nice

[tawny orbit]

Automatic gearbox make me waste more fuel

[turbid gorge]

the offroading is so fucking painful bro... even in a pickup truck try pulling a trailer offroad

[tawny orbit]

Frfr

[turbid gorge]

your vehicle will literally get stuck in perfect conditions

whats insane to me is a sportscar is a better tow truck than a real bigass truck

[tawny orbit]

Yes they need add system torque in gearbox

Torque are great for offroad carry trailer

[turbid gorge]

id love for some vanilla heavy vehicles

gimme bulldozer

https://tenor.com/view/drifting-bulldozer-coming-on-my-way-sliding-into-dms-hello-there-gif-13568079

[tawny orbit]

They should add tractor lol

[turbid gorge]

tiller and combine harvester lol

GIVE US A RIDING LAWNMOWER so we can get grass clippings for animal feed

[tawny orbit]

oh good idea lol

[turbid gorge]

also run over some zombies and ask the age old question: Will it blend?

[tawny orbit]

but wait lawnmower will have engine u have need add gas or electric

[turbid gorge]

well yeah it could just be like any old car just way smaller

[tawny orbit]

Or old which it powered wheel spin

[turbid gorge]

there are the very retro unpowered blade-mowers

THEY STILL SELL THEM BROO

how are you supposed to get animal feed rn anyways?

[knotty yew]

hand cut the grass with a scythe

or give them other food

[turbid gorge]

like what?

[knotty yew]

potat

[keen gorge]

Animal feeding bags

[knotty yew]

cheese

[keen gorge]

Hay

[knotty yew]

a single raw egg

[keen gorge]

I wish pigs eat corpses, that should be an option too

[tawny orbit]

you can feed only cow irl but not pig because pig can get parasite easy from grass

[turbid gorge]

anything else work?

[tawny orbit]

It work

[turbid gorge]

do chickens forage for insects? thats how they were originally raised in old days lol

they just wander around picking bugs and stuff off ground

[tawny orbit]

For everything animal

[gleaming perch]

NO electrical leveling up is the same, they said this in the Thursdoids

only Carpentry and Metalworking were affected, you must build to earn XP rather than dismantle. This is done so multiplayer servers will not need to have whole cities destroyed in the long run

[peak spear]

So, and update to hit chance, but still nothing on this stupid muscle strain system? Hopefully a mod makes it go from fitness like literally everyone who has mentioned this system says it should be.

[blazing coral]

right. I didn't remember the exceptions. but 0 xp? 💀

[gleaming perch]

if there is a problem just change it in sandbox settings or use a mod i guess

[real fox]

why do we need recipe to cook BEANS

😭

[tawny orbit]

To fart

Fart are good against zombie so they can go away🤣

[drifting shell]

Has anyone had issues with Turkeys not calming down? I have 5 that I found in a crashed livestock trailer and they have been stressed none stop. I've tried moving them to a different location and they still just won't calm down for some reason. Any ideas?

[opaque schooner]

Give them a beer

[drifting shell]

Lol

I should fill their trough with Whiskey

[dense vortex]

does anyone know if their is any possible way to play multiplayer on b42

[spare breach]

an axe to the head

[drifting shell]

You technically can play multiplayer with Steam's splitscreen functionality, but one person would have to be on a controller

[dense vortex]

on b42????

[drifting shell]

Yes

[spare breach]

based

[dense vortex]

WHATTTTT

[drifting shell]

Because you're technically playing the game in splitscreen like that

Which functions without multiplayer connections

[dense vortex]

bro wait what im gonna try this

who wanna play with me i dont have friends hahaha

[drifting shell]

I would, but ideally I want to raise more of them

If it weren't for them raising eggs and using the hutches I would think that raising them is impossible

[spare breach]

🥲 probably relatable to a lot of players

[dense vortex]

yeah i have one that plays and their at work

and have the worst damn wifi, and everyone i try and join in the server starts drinking and gets to drunk to play 😭

[elfin hamlet]

playing while high is alot better

[dense vortex]

oh im high literally 24/7

[elfin hamlet]

its scarier some times tho😭

nice

[dense vortex]

it doesnt effect my gameplay anymore, but it used to make that jumpscare noise my worst enemy

[elfin hamlet]

FRRR lmao

[dense vortex]

my goal tho is to start a small server where me and whoever start a long term little camp in the woods

[silk nova]

i'm tryng the new aim system after patch is kinda easier now

[real fox]

is there a way to cut these bushes they keep slowing down my car towards baseee

[vague trench]

lol

[pallid hinge]

I heard that if there is more than one male in the flock they will get super stressed - is there more than one male?

[vague trench]

had to park my pink van on side of road

[pallid hinge]

If there is then it is turkey dinner time - or just separate them

[hallow adder]

Axe on the trees.

[severe egret]

I wish there was a "knowledge" option in the right click context menu that could show you everything your character knows or has learned about an object/creature

[drifting shell]

Nope. Just 1 male and 4 females

I did have them in the same pen as chickens for a bit but they won't calm down even now that they're in a separate enclosure

There's also no zombies around either

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/fanter-edit-gif-1132646159091889331

[scenic gazelle]

yes, you need a knife iirc
rmb and you will see the option

[real fox]

NICE

[scenic gazelle]

It's HELL out here. goddamnit

almost 50ºC

[real fox]

welcome to the south

probably humid as hell too

[scenic gazelle]

yeah!
it was pouring for three days straight

[pallid hinge]

Entirely different but I had one pig that I saved from a trailer and he was super stressed for many days and then finally calmed down, not sure what I did differently

[fierce mountain]

Just started visiting southern Brandenberg. ||God damn whatever disaster happened here really flattened a lot of buildings. I saw the 1st July newspaper regarding the disaster relief||

[autumn pier]

Hurricane

[cyan ice]

I wanted to do a wilderness only run. But it seems like you need some stuff. Like a bucket to make clay concrete -> forge -> make a bucket. Or did I misunderstand I something?

[spare breach]

yes, its dumb

they need to make those recipes more flexible, pronto

[autumn pier]

I’m sure it’ll be fixed in the coming months

[fierce mountain]

Localised in Brandenberg? Interesting.....

[autumn pier]

But maybe…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Flood_of_1993?wprov=sfti1

[vague trench]

lol i love that place its so crusty

[fierce mountain]

Gotcha

[humble sail]

I was sleeping then woke up earlier than regular (it was 11, woke up at 2 ish) and saw i was alarmed and tense? anyone know what this means

Just wanted to ask just incase its anything bad lol, if its zombies i cant hear them cus my heatset broke so i paused my game and went straight here xD

[real fox]

anyone find out how to make planks in build 42?

[elder flax]

log+saw

[real fox]

tahnk you

need to adjust to this new UI

[silk nova]

but anyone discovered if the cows and the other animals give milk cause they are pregnant or not?

[scenic gazelle]

Again.

[severe egret]

I had this too not long ago. I think my dude had a nightmare cause he went to bed tense and sad, cause there was no immediate danger. Wish the game was more transparent about this stuff cause it's sure confusing

[vague trench]

lucky

[real fox]

is there a way to drink things without it being put into your inventory but back into the shelf it was on? i have this huge bucket of clean water and it breaks my back whenever i want to drink it lmfao

i could just carry a water bottles but i like having some room i guess lmao

and keep it in the trunk

[severe egret]

You can equip as secondary before you drink it but not super helpful rly. Ikwym

[hoary rampart]

Is AMD fixed yet?

[autumn pier]

Saw a comment online saying generators don’t work in basements, can anyone verify that here?

I’m guessing they mean “don’t work” as in they don’t power basements

[hoary rampart]

Why... would you WANT that?

Theres nowhere for the toxic gases to go

[autumn pier]

Let me rephrase that, generators don’t work in providing electricty for basements

[edgy kiln]

even if theyre outside right now they dont power basements nearby

[autumn pier]

Dang

I guess I’ll stick to the tried and olden method of sledging stairs…

[frozen wyvern]

I bet it would provide power for it if you had the generator in the basement

[edgy kiln]

finally putting the new gas masks to use

[static heart]

Hey guys, just an advice, start foraging just after you woke up the search radius is highly linked with fatigue, from 6.92 radius to 4.88 and i didn't even get the "sleepy moodle"

on the x axis 1 = really exhausted

most of the other needs do not reduce the search radius except panic and stress

[severe egret]

Lol if you're foraging while panicked you're probably dead

[faint swallow]

I think the Tidy Up Meister mod has a function that puts items back in their place, not 100% sure though

[drifting shell]

Gotcha. I think that if you get them from a trailer they just take a while to calm down, cause I just got some sheep from a trailer and they're stressed too

[drifting shell]

It does

[severe egret]

Panic should just straight turn off search mode

[raw parcel]

i think high level of panic pretty much destroys your char's effectiveness at that anyway

but its been a long time since i paid attention to moodles effects

[severe egret]

Sure but my point is you shouldn't be foraging while in an encounter, like ever so.. just make panic disable search mode

[static heart]

you can't go below 3 for the search radius no matter what moodles you have

[raw parcel]

agoraphobic get panicked always when outdoors

theres maybe other edge cases where such a prohibition would be harmful

[severe egret]

Hmm yeah shit thats true. I guess you could make any sudden increases in panic toggle it off

[raw parcel]

tbh i always thought agoraphobic should only tick panic up in urban environments or something

[cunning turtle]

[severe egret]

Fr though who even takes agoraphobic

[raw parcel]

the trait is very on/off in a way that doesnt reflect real agoraphobia

an agoraphobic person is typically well in their own backyard

on the other hand anything is possible

its likely a zombie apocalypse and the end of the world as we know it would alter the presentation of agoraphobia in most ppl

[vague trench]

does anyone know if animals eat that grass puffage or does it HAVE to be put in the trough

[static heart]

The test cannot be continued

[versed niche]

I guess this shouldn't be there...

[static heart]

i forgot to turn off the oven

[versed niche]

Rookie mistake

[vague trench]

LOL

[raw parcel]

shouldve stayed in the woods

[static heart]

i guess so

[dense vortex]

weird request but does anyone here wanna add me on steam and play splitscreen on b42? im not a weirdo i just have no friends

[raw parcel]

did they change the wilderness recipe in the hotfix?

might want to try a forest run

[dense vortex]

i wanna do one so bad

[real fox]

WOAH U CAN DO THIS?

[dense vortex]

yeah theres a way

[static heart]

which one ?

[dense vortex]

i tried it out the split screen works, you can have 2 players on b42. youd just have to do this thing that steam has where it shares the screen

[velvet egret]

YT now has a few “best new base locations in PZ B42” videos

[dense vortex]

i just have nobody to do it with :(

[raw parcel]

idk i just heard they were literally impossible

i think it was from you

[static heart]

oh yes, for some reason you can't craft primitive furnace without a bucket and a sandbag, but you cannot craft any bucket without a furnace

also you have to get a bag and a shovel that you can't craft either

i don't know if it's intented or..

[mossy tangle]

I might be kind of stupid but is there a secret to repairing stuff now?

Weapons that is, in this case a metal bat

[vague trench]

some melee weapons can be repaired im not sure which ones but use a surface and press b and see if it shows it in there repairable or something i did it once on some weapon but i cannot remember which one

[mossy tangle]

Oh thanks! I also just found the repair recipes as listed as ‘fix’ xxxx instead of repair

[vague trench]

yar have fun !

[red hazel]

did zombies get weaker since B42 dropped or my character just got stronger? Cant tell lol. I'm one shotting them more often. Used to take like 4 hits for a single one

Oh, probably just got stronger. Im at long blunt 5 with a sheetmetal reinforced baseball bat

[forest shore]

Yea combat levels have a huge impact in 42

Also zombie toughness is randomized.

[native spear]

the textures are taking over your world

[vague trench]

lol

picnic time!!!

[digital cloud]

b42 in a nutshell

[vague trench]

lol , now make it so rats steal our shit

[severe egret]

Do they not already? I thought that was the whole point 😅

[edgy kiln]

thatd be funny actually

[severe egret]

Think its mostly supposed to happen at high vermin count

[vague trench]

i dont know lol im too busy running over thme or killing them

[edgy kiln]

i havent gotten far enough to see any yet

[severe egret]

Only the odd solitary one for me so far

[vague trench]

im on 6 months later i think but just regular apoc settings

[severe egret]

Ahh nice, how is that?

[vague trench]

i love the look of everything

houses seem more looted n stuff to me

[severe egret]

An official many years later of the entire map would slap so hard

[vague trench]

yah that would be so fun

[edgy kiln]

arent they working on that

[severe egret]

I think its only a small area

[digital cloud]

i would crash out if i tripped dropped my weapon and a rat steals it

[vague trench]

i saw a blog post on it but dunno what it meant

[severe egret]

Its being made as a challenge map iirc

[vague trench]

rofl that would be so funny

steals generator mag uses it for making a nest

[digital cloud]

😭

they added rat poison for a reason 🫡🫡🫡

[subtle tendon]

does anyone know why zooming out or looking far into the distance crashes the game?

[vague trench]

no i havent seen that issue come up before in this chat that i have been lurking, have you tried looking in pz_techsupport and see if there is any similar?

[hallow sail]

anyone know what to do with wheat once its fully grown?

[vague trench]

no harvest option?

[hallow sail]

no like i harvested it but what can i make out of it?

[vague trench]

oh lol

[vague trench]

i see this in the crafting thing maybe you can make flour from that? no idea though i tried looking in there

[subtle tendon]

im on mac and cant really find anything about it, i assume loading the environment lags and then crashes the game but idk why the game still "runs" even after the game freezes, (my character can still die from zomboids)

[hallow sail]

interesting. will try that

[vague trench]

i would make a post on tech support , can look in there in the mean time maybe youll find something similar, does limiting how far you can zoom help with the crashing? like make it so you cant zoom out as much?

is there keron in cows

i mean cows in ekron lol ffs

[forest shore]

You need to thresh the grain then use the seeds in a quern or mill to grind it into flour.

[hallow sail]

how do i thresh it

[forest shore]

Crafting menu - under Farming is the 'thresh grain' option.

Oh oops! You need to dry the wheat sheaf first

To dry that you need to use drying racks I believe (I haven't actually done it but let me spawn some items in on debug and test it out)

[hallow sail]

okay! the drying rack is so much thread'

[forest shore]

Okay yea you need the 'large plant drying rack'

[hallow sail]

how do i get so much twine?

[forest shore]

Looks like you can craft twine now

You need Flax or Hemp though.

[lethal wolf]

So, how to clean a bandage now when sinks don't work?

[hallow sail]

yikes

[forest shore]

I just fill a pot with water

[lethal wolf]

can't, am on a roadtrip and residing in a car mechanic shop atm because I got a bad arm wound from broken glass

nvm a bucket found, that seems to work!

[toxic flint]

you could hear the wind and visibility was low af, there was even fog

[autumn pier]

Yeah but I’m not acoustic or sucidial sooo…

[autumn pier]

True

clearly you dont play darkest dungeon

im so scared lmfao

I could sleep to the sound of PZ rain

[frozen compass]

I wish this was a printed cloth map - like the old Ultima games.

[scenic gazelle]

really immersive

[blazing coral]

it's... beautiful. and also 196.3MB wtf

[slim merlin]

Man I love the fog in this game

[scenic gazelle]

Yeah, it's really immersive.
specially when it's raining heavily

[cunning turtle]

Why some ppl hates it

[scenic gazelle]

the sound effects are also top-tier

[blazing coral]

found a bug. If you grab a skeleton corpse it will regenerate all the muscle and skin during and after the animation. someone already reported it yay

[scenic gazelle]

@wind locust
I am happy.

[hallow sail]

r.i.p

[pallid hinge]

Noooo 😢

Was a good run

[real fox]

so basically i was gonna raid this gas station in the middle of no where

and i really needed to also level up my aim , and i just started blasting and a horde came out of no where, and some sprinters, killed the 2 sprinters, then when i came back to the car, it was making noise that was attracting zombies

after like 30 minutes of fighting for my life i saw a maybe opening, it was kinda hard for me to open the door since the green indicator was hard to see

due to the sign right there blocking it, and then i got overrun

MAN I WAS PISSED but low key it was my mistake lmfao

i think next time i gotta plan something better lmfao

that was fun tho

[pallid hinge]

Yea I noticed they are a lot more attracted to car noise, and I also noticed it is harder to get the door indicator to show up

[real fox]

thats something i struggle with gameplay wise is the door indicator

[pallid hinge]

Yea, I wonder if that is intentional

[real fox]

i only played so many hours of build 41

was it easier in 41 you noticed?

[scenic gazelle]

DAMN.
how did that happen??

nvm
currently reading your explanation

[real fox]

bad planning basically

what i should have done is basically cut my losses and came back with ammo and cleared them

slept in some random cars up the ways to base

then come back repeat

but i was greedy and anted my good condition car not to go to waste and kill the battery

[scenic gazelle]

you can press V (default car radial) and select enter vehicle, if you're not seeing the green door indicator
but It was a good run
also, I MUST try playing with random sprinters, sounds really tense lmao

[real fox]

i had it set to 3 percent

out of like maybe 150ish or so zombies that were there, i saw like 2

and 1 other one in the distance that didnt notice me

the whole gas station was FLOODED

[pallid hinge]

I think so, it seemed to pop up a lot easier, maybe I will do a comparison test or something

[real fox]

thoughts on echo creek loot wise? i might try to start my new character there

[vague trench]

i like it so far , lots of good places and goood houses i kept dying in muldrag n riverside lol

[pallid hinge]

So far I have enjoyed echo creek

[vague trench]

theres some really nice buildings n stuff

[pallid hinge]

Lacks like big poi but makes up for it with that sweet sweet gas station base and being kinda central to all the new towns

[real fox]

should i turn on the zombie alarm for funsies?

[vague trench]

yah

[scenic gazelle]

Vehicle radial menu --> enter vehicle
pretty useful lmao
but careful, the character will do his own pathing

[pallid hinge]

In sandbox I always have zombie house alarms and enviro attacks on

[real fox]

im gonna do this next time

[pallid hinge]

Just makes sense to me

[real fox]

also for farming i remember seeing some folks saying farming takes to long , have yall tweaked farming at all? i have erosion set to 50 days as it seems cool

want to see how that looks faster for buildings n such

[scenic gazelle]

I am playing apocalypse mode except infection occurs only through bites

no idea

[pallid hinge]

I like to have farming take a long time personally but I can understand wanting it shorter

[real fox]

i might leave farming alone

[pallid hinge]

I haven't done any in B42 yet though

So I can't say for sure

[real fox]

this is saliva only right?

[pallid hinge]

Yee

[real fox]

tbh i like blood and saliva mostly so it prevents me from being cocky

bite only sonds sooo nice tho , no more panic when im scratched

[pallid hinge]

Haha fair, I also do blood and saliva in sp

In MP I made my server bites only

Hoping desync is less of a thing so that I could make it blood as well

[scenic gazelle]

Yes

[scenic gazelle]

I also set the wound severity to HIGH
so scratches and lacerations are still fucked up

[spare breach]

i do saliva only

[woven beacon]

Blacksmith should have +1 short blunt

[spare breach]

i agree but then it'd be even better as a profession*

thats 3 skill boosts + blacksmith knowledge perk

[pallid hinge]

Banging on metal all day would definitely cause muscle strain when you start doing it

[blazing coral]

factories have a themed loot table now. The one I'm at is just saw blades, as advertised in the flyer I picked up

[real fox]

thoughts?

fear of blood was super managable my time playing it, besideit being annoying

but have any of you tried claustrophobic , im not sure if anything has changed with fears

[spare breach]

prone to illness, slwo healier and weak stomach are no-brainer traits, i tried homophobia before but the constant stress from the blood on my clothes is making things way more annoying imo

its not worth it

[autumn pier]

Stress increase whenever you’re bloody, get it too high and your damage increase, as well as unhappiness. Unhappiness in turn decreases the speed of all actions

[real fox]

it was really fucking annoying i agree

[spare breach]

i get the cowardly trait now, the one which makes your character more panicky

and conspicuous

[autumn pier]

Homophobia? Think you meant hemophobia?

[spare breach]

yeah potato potato

[autumn pier]

Fair

[spare breach]

its probably called hemophobia i just wasnt sure

[autumn pier]

https://www.healthline.com/health/hemophobia

[mossy tangle]

Does the metal bat not los durability or am I just getting really lucky?

[real fox]

has short sighted changed in build 42

[spare breach]

damn

[real fox]

not sure if its worth getting

[spare breach]

anything awareness-related is off limits to me

i dont like being spooked by a zombie getting the jump on me

[real fox]

disorganized REALLLLY sucks, but it does give me good points

id pick smoker if it wasnt so fucking hard to find ciggies

[autumn pier]

Not worth it at all, now needs you to have a specific type of eyewear “prescription glasses” and not wearing them makes a good portion of your screen foggy/blurry

[spare breach]

smoker was ok in B41 but the B42 loot spawns barely have any cigs now

i found a few cigarette packs already but keep in mind thats after looting 80% of rosewood

[autumn pier]

Cigs are still common for me, semi-common at least

[real fox]

thoughts? i feel like tailoring will come in handy

[autumn pier]

Maybe not enough to last a whole year but for a little while, a month at tops

[real fox]

thirst was easy to manage just annoying

[spare breach]

i chose he DIY profession (formerly called repairman)

i generally go for the essentials so its good to have some starting skill levels in carpentry for example

tailoring sucks to grind XP for but i dont think its that important. Try carving/knapping

now KNAPPING is almost impossible to grind from level 0

but it is really good, and also helps you if youre trying to get into blacksmithing later

[autumn pier]

I pick unemployed (custom occupation) for the trait points, it lets me get the good traits, knowing I’ll be able to learn everything else. Will it suck? Maybe, but I can win

[scenic gazelle]

this game turned into survival horror with this new lightning

[autumn pier]

Really? That’s concerning…

What if I do level up to lvl 1?

[scenic gazelle]

Goddamn TIS.

[spare breach]

only thing you can do without prior knapping knowledge is smash a flint nodule into a sharp flint with a hammer tool

[spare breach]

you can knap actual primitive stone blades

a stone awl + stone blade, i think theres a bit more but i dont remember

[autumn pier]

Flint nodule, a not so easy to find part, into a common part…you sure it’s the ONLY thing I can do?

[spare breach]

yeah its stupid but thats the only way lmao

[autumn pier]

I’ll accept the difficulty, but man

It’s gonna be a steep, tough climb

[spare breach]

they should make sharp flint 50% less common and make the flint nodules more common, atleast by like 25% on average

im drowning in sharp flint rocks but i ran out of flint nodules to knap quickly

that being said, it is probably a good idea to pick the wilderness knowledge trait, because you get +1 in foraging, knapping and carving, iirc

with lvl 1 carving you can carve some stuff out of wood such as handles (I believe? And also shorten long sticks and whatnot), and turn bones into blades

carving isnt that fun to level up either but atleast you can easily make spears and stakes enmasse

i wish there was more recipes in knapping though

i hope they'll add more on full release

[drifting shell]

You can also get them from the nodes, but still it would be nice if the nodules were more common

And of course you need the right tools to break the nodes, which is more difficult when doing full wilderness

[spare breach]

thats what i was talking about. The problem is that the only way to lvl up knapping from lvl 0 is to make sharp flint through flint nodules, yet sharp flint is something thats already forageable from the ground in dozens

and nodules seem much more rare

it is a extremely slow burn if you dont even have a skill book to help you (i didnt)

when i was using debug mode to reverse my accidental (and a bit bs) character's death, i actually gave myself a +1 lvl in knapping because at this rate i wouldve never gotten to 1 by playing normally

either they will need to tweak the spawn rates of flint, or they should buff the xp gain from knapping

ideally both

it is terribly, terribly slow

on the other hand, foraging for example is extremely easy to level up

[woven beacon]

Imo light eater isnt that good neither is graceful. Inconspicuous is actually good in b42 and so is Stout now that muscle strain is a thing. Cowardly might make things difficult with the extreme panic. Prone to illness makes it easier to feel sick from nearby dead zombies, dont know how big of an impact this has tho. If I were you I'd be tempted to pick out of shape, for the 6 points its pretty good, it just means youll have to take more breaks, which you should be doing anyway with muscle strain.

[spare breach]

you can get the first 2 levels within half a day of intensive foraging

[woven beacon]

That frees up 8 or so points, at that stage I'd get maybe brawler or baseball player for more weapon xp

[woven beacon]

Yeah you're meant to grow tobacco now

Atm I'm managing, I'm having to ration ciggarettes to when I'm just about to kill a horde

Antidepressants help in the meantime

[spare breach]

does using chewing tobacco actually help

[woven beacon]

Yep it does, and zombies drop it

[spare breach]

ive only found it like twice

still, considerable nerf when it comes to smoker-related items

[woven beacon]

Smoker was free points tbh

[forest shore]

As a start area it's fantastic - especially for new players. Allows you to get a really good foothold then move to more populated areaas.

[spare breach]

farming tobacco on your own isnt something id consider to be a midgame or early game thing to do

ive found all sorts of seeds but not tobacco i think

[forest shore]

I like zombie alarms + environmental attacks it makes for some chaos.

[woven beacon]

Tobacco seeds drop pretty much all the time at the new farming centre south of Echo Creek

[spare breach]

been only looting the countryside part of rosewood for now

i havent been moving that far yet, but i plan to

because i am in a dire need of more nails and ammo

[woven beacon]

Yeah ammo is pretty much restricted to gun stores now

Idk I don't mind the change but I do think to compensate they should up the spawn rate of ammo

Especially now that you need to kill mega hordes in order to actually get to most of the guns and ammo

[spare breach]

we should have craftable ammo but it should generally make your shots weaker or perhaps a bit more inaccurate, or increase gun jams

[real fox]

if i only saw this earlier lmfao

[forest shore]

You can make the bullets and casings already I think

[spare breach]

i believe you can dismantle and assemble bullets back, but i meant making it all from scratch

i.e.making gunpowder and all those essentials

sounds Rust-y but i feel like we'll need something like that later

[real fox]

here we go again lmfao

[woven beacon]

You can change traits in debug menu btw

If you want to change it

[slate sentinel]

Weapon skill books are so game changing even if they are sorta rare

[spare breach]

what do you mean? Like long blunt or short blade?

i only found aiming skill books so far

[forest shore]

That's what I meant. Bullet molds are in the game.

I don't think we can craft the gunpowder yet but it seems like it is likely planned.

[spare breach]

oh damn, cool
yeah doubt you can craft gunpowder

[forest shore]

I'm poking in debug (where I seen the molds) it seems they aren't craftable yet actually 😦

But the fact it's planned and partially there is awesome

[spare breach]

yes

[woven beacon]

Its crazy how many zombies there are now

[spare breach]

im playing on my lower pop no respawn settings and there still seems to be much more than before

[forest shore]

I want to try doing a wilderness run. Just in middle of nowhere, in the woods. But no clue where to spawn for that. I guess Echo Creek is the only feasible vanilla option

[spare breach]

likely

[woven beacon]

Yep echo is good

[spare breach]

make sure you have wilderness knowledge

[woven beacon]

Echo is definitely the best place to spawn in atm

[forest shore]

I can't seem to find any wilderness spawn mods sadly

[spare breach]

isnt echo creek close to the borders of the map anyway

[lethal wolf]

Gee, someone left a live bull in a trailer in middle of my forest road to my final destination of base

[cunning turtle]

Nooo what happened

[spare breach]

kill it kill it kill it kill it

[lethal wolf]

I will NOT let that thing out without a shotgun in hand

[cunning turtle]

Interesting, what would you do with that bull

[lethal wolf]

Not milk it

[spare breach]

you cant milk it its not a cow

[vague trench]

lol

[lethal wolf]

You can always milk a live thing, its a separate matter if it produces the liquids you prefer

but dont think bull sperm market exists in PZ, yet, for some elite bloodline county fair contest

Genetics bruh, how do you think breeding cows works? 😉

[cunning turtle]

Makes sense

[lethal wolf]

I think my first death in b42 approaches, car ran out of fuel on a dirt road in middle of a forest, and I have to walk all the way to McCoy soon enough without proper supplies or a vehicle

This is near the pre-B42 Camp Beaver lake

It's 10.40pm, and of course Deerhead Lake ranger cabin is full of zeds....

[spare breach]

meanwhile me with 9 full fuel cans

[lethal wolf]

I have a vehicle with full gas tank but this is/was my secondary vehicle full of loot that I took first to not risk it

[digital cloud]

set up a fire stay the night and get to the cabin once your there macro the zombies on a fence

[lethal wolf]

imma sleep in my gas-less car, far enough from the Horde

at dawn, I ride, with Doom Slayer mindset

[digital cloud]

rock is high key the best short blunt

GIVE ME

[spare breach]

how the heck do i pickle stuff? its not giving me any prompt

[lethal wolf]

vinegar? sugar? glass jar and lid

[spare breach]

I HAVE ALL THAT. STILL NOTHING

[forest shore]

Ok I'm allowing myself a car - fueled up - and one day to get to the woods before zombies hit 100% popualtion. Set starting population to 0.

[cunning turtle]

F

[spare breach]

@lethal wolf ok i see now, this is pretty stupid actually, I cannot pickle eggs, only certain vegetables

whats worse, now you also need salt for it instead of sugar

[forest shore]

Think I may drive myself to a remote part of Hog Wallow Forest

[spare breach]

EVEN worse actually, you need to learn the recipes

damn

[dim venture]

rly hope someone makes a combine mod to mass harvest and even a seed planter you can attach by towing that plants seeds under whatever it drives over and you can load seeds into it

[opaque schooner]

Someone should remake the one for b41

[dim venture]

lol didnt even know there was one in b41

[opaque schooner]

It was called the zombie harvester I believe

[cunning turtle]

Oh

[desert citrus]

knapping takes soo long to levell

[dim venture]

i was thinking nothing rly changed with farming to make it easier to add but i think it would be a higher chance for someone to make it bc a lot more fun to farm now

[autumn pier]

Pattern recognition kicks hard with this one

[wooden ravine]

The exact same thing happened to me on my PC which has no Graphics card. I fixed it by turning the resolution way down

[spare breach]

YEAAAAH time to kill some zombies with this new toy

[lethal wolf]

Battle for Deerhead Lake, day 1. Not even 33% there.

On a character with 3 strenght and 2 fitness.

There was these ones as well https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2728257015

I am sure they will get updated to B42

is there any way to repair a metal bat? it doesnt seem like it

why is it green

[hallow sail]

i just need to know if i have to kill the male babies before they grow up

[spare breach]

i feel like i accidentally used some sort of a keybind

[forest shore]

Yooo I just found wild carrots and it gave me seeds

[forest shore]

Bug - open your crafting menu and close it again.

It highlights your current work surface, and sometimes it stays highlighted.

[spare breach]

doesnt work

now it does

thank you PZ very cool

[lethal wolf]

I've asked this question twice by now, but if anyone who finds a new type of vehicle with more trunk capacity than 135, or a trailer (not counting livestock one with 500 capacity for animals only), let me know where you found it

this lack of new vehicles has gotten me into this problem of being in middle of nowhere fighting for my life

[scenic gazelle]

its a craft menu thing
some recipes need a surface in order to be crafted

[spare breach]

Dear indiestone

please unbug my sack containers capacities, thank you

[hallow sail]

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

[forest shore]

The only vehicle with that much space would be a box truck

[red hazel]

literally me right now

[lethal wolf]

Someone claimed days ago there's one with around 240 capacity, and even 840, but yeah can't say how truthful that may be

[hallow sail]

i've been trying to transport this bull for 10 minutes and its flipped like 3 times

[red hazel]

I found sheeps in the trailer. Was trying to take it back to base. How do you unflip it?

[forest shore]

By the way - anyone doing a wilderness run the really large boulders act as a crafting surface

[hallow sail]

i disconnec the trailer and ram the car into it until it flips back over

[forest shore]

I'd be interested to know what vehicle that would be. And if it was mabe a bug lol

I can look in debug mode and see, if you want.

[lethal wolf]

or modded. Loot still is semi plentiful at times with my rarer than default loot setting, so I can't resist hauling all those tools for wilderness base

but if you don't mind checking for those really big vanilla vehicle capacities, I'd be delighted

[forest shore]

Yea, i'll go through and see what the capacities are for ya.

[hallow sail]

is it possible he was counting seat weight as well?

you could probably find a six seater with 100+ pound trunk that can hold a good 250+ pounds with well organized

[forest shore]

Possible - but that's still a ton

[lethal wolf]

I at least think I specified trunk capacity. But loot goblins are loot goblins

[scenic gazelle]

well shit

[hallow sail]

have fun with that

[vague trench]

yah have fun with that lmao

cursed oplace lmao

[lethal wolf]

Man is playing Diablo 2 with that narrow underground tunnels

I can't pull out my shotty because No light
