[chilly atlas]

[scenic gazelle]

Anxiety does anything combat wise?

[chilly atlas]

on a journey............... adventure awaits

[cunning turtle]

let curiosity take him

[chilly atlas]

it makes u shit at combat but idr how

[cunning turtle]

I think it slows your combat

[chilly atlas]

are u thinking of taking them on lmao

[scenic gazelle]

fucking hell they're taking ages to break down that door

[hallow sail]

i think anxiety makes your aim shit

[cunning turtle]

Help em

[scenic gazelle]

WELL
i have four Short blunt

[chilly atlas]

🫡

[scenic gazelle]

Not sure, think I will bait them out and just shoot them

[cunning turtle]

Nice

[chilly atlas]

thats more in line with what i was thinking yeah

[lethal wolf]

Soon he may witness the power of an ancient combat technique, Death By Thousand Bites

[scenic gazelle]

It's on.
wish me luck

[real fox]

stealing this

[red hazel]

bro, what's with the male sheeps lmao

[long citrus]

I miss the new art (day 3 of asking mr @formal mango)

[real fox]

BRO GOT BOLLITAS

[vague trench]

lol heavy set minerals

this is so mean have u guys found this palce? lol

its in echo crik by road to ekron somehwere

[lethal wolf]

3 items I did not know that exists lol

[hallow adder]

Purification Tablets? Whoa...

[red hazel]

I've found a star keyring with a rainbow, rabbit foot keyring and bug keyring as well. I wonder how many others are there

[scenic gazelle]

Holy shit
I survived the first wave, but there's just TOO many
they will win by attrition

[lethal wolf]

They have a bar indicating the amount of tablets left. Ergo, I bet they can be used to clean hopefully a big volume of water

[scenic gazelle]

do you know if you can attach the penlight?

[lethal wolf]

I don't, I can go back and find out, I'm still battling over Deerhead Lake here

[hallow adder]

Can't wait to find a big source of water, and just toss that bad boy into it.

[lethal wolf]

and electricity HAD to crash down on this very morn scaring the shit out of me (radio didn't warn about it this time??)

[lethal wolf]

How about Deerhead Lake itself, with enough tablets...

[forest shore]

I just got done checking - the largest capacity vehicle in Vanilla would be the step vans.

[scenic gazelle]

they probably are used to clean water in bottles already
containers, not whole bodies of water

Oh, Lmao
just found a bottle of purification tablets

[lethal wolf]

Guess I'll have to rely on the usual tricks then, a little trailer and/or not looting so goddamn much

[heady field]

I wonder when will they fix the resolution bug

[forest shore]

Step Vans have 160 capacity, Vans and enclosed pickups have 130, open bed pickups have 110, the All Terrain SUV has 85, Station Wagon has 60m The Nyala (the typical sedan) has 55, the Rancher (jeep thing) has 40, the small cars (like the dart) have 40, the sports car (looks like a corvette) has 35. Trailers have 100 each, both enclosed and open.

That's assuming 100% health.

[lethal wolf]

A trailer I picked up had 80, maybe they can be damaged, too

[forest shore]

Yes they can be

[scenic gazelle]

All Terrain SUV, my beloved.

[forest shore]

If you press v you can open the mechanics screen for it and repair it with a welder and sheet metal

[scenic gazelle]

Look at this beauty

[heady field]

which trailer is it? I only found one so far with 2 containers (23+13)

so only like 39 total

[forest shore]

There's 4 trailers in the game. There's the live stock and horse trailer, I didn't look at either of those because their main function is to move animals not supplies.

Oh right, advert trailers too. But those don't have any storage.

[heady field]

I see, the one I found provably the livestock
one of the container says 'egg container' or smth like that

[forest shore]

Yea

[proper quail]

How do I get the build update?

[heady field]

why is it even there xD

[heady field]

through steam, theres an option for each build when u open app properties

[forest shore]

They're just funny to have

[heady field]

maybe for collectors

[forest shore]

Horse trailer is the one next to the advert trailer.

[proper quail]

Is it called unstable?

[lethal wolf]

I need further clarification, how would you like me to test the penlight

[forest shore]

Yes

You can not attach the penlight. Only the L shape lights but you need webbing.

[heady field]

yea unstable 42

[scenic gazelle]

can you attach it to your chest or belt?
like use it without hands

because I know there's a curve flashlight that you can attach to an ALICE Belt and Suspenders webbing

[lethal wolf]

Right-click has no options to do anything special.

[scenic gazelle]

damn...

thanks for the effort tho

[lethal wolf]

My lack of brain though, I left the dark areas where the penlight was, because I had no light source.

[forest shore]

I tested it the other day in debug - only the angle lights can be attached. There's a black and green one

[cunning turtle]

Bro got two big B

[heady field]

oo whats the storage capacity

[scenic gazelle]

really nice woah

[heady field]

also can u equip fanny pack w that

[scenic gazelle]

Alice Webbing can pack 6 weight

[forest shore]

It has 4 slots and 6 storage.

No fanny pack with it.

[scenic gazelle]

but you can only put items with 1.3 weight max inside
also the weight reduction is 85 iirc

you don't need a fanny if you got the webbing tbh

[forest shore]

Yea it's a fanny pack but better

[scenic gazelle]

there are also chest rigs
but they are not cool imo

[heady field]

well 6 storage is more than 2 fanny packs combined lol

[scenic gazelle]

ALICE webbing has more detailed, you can see the pockets, straps and all that
the chest rig is well a rig to your chest with pockets for magazines

oh!
both of them reduce mag-fed reload time

[heady field]

alice bags are the best storage ig
theres also military bag with higher capacity than normal

[lethal wolf]

are those vanilla

[scenic gazelle]

yes

[heady field]

sus belt

[forest shore]

You can't attach a light to the chest rig

[scenic gazelle]

they are all vanilla

true, you can't attach the light to a chest rig

[lethal wolf]

Sounds like military surplus store may have some, luckily its along the way to my lake I am still establishing dominance over

[blazing coral]

this but duct tape recipe on any backpack

[scenic gazelle]

I found a bunch of zombified army soldiers in day 10
lucky me, but then my luck has been thin ever since
spent it all finding military gear

[heady field]

iirc theres a mod that allow attaching some storage using hooks on b41, anyone know the name?

[red hazel]

where are all the headlamps at in the apocalypse

[heady field]

smaller storage like toolbox, lunchbox and first aid kits

[forest shore]

..Interesting addition..

[blazing coral]

I had it, don't remember which mod that added that lol

[red hazel]

I meant the ones you wear on your head lol

[heady field]

I unsubbed all the mods when switching version without thinking I might need them on b42 lol

[bright glade]

so I heard there might be new holsters for guns, so technically you could have 4 pistols easy to reach and one rifle?

[heady field]

[blazing coral]

I'll try to search my subs. 1 minute

[heady field]

we got new shoulder holster with 2 mag capacity

[forest shore]

I think the alice rig may work as a holster?

I'm not sure. It just has 4 slots, only 2 can be used for a light.

[heady field]

and theres ankle holster but theres only 1 revolver can be attached to it

[red hazel]

it sucks that the chest holster cant be worn over armor

[blazing coral]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2127583399

[heady field]

yoo this is it, thanks man

so its attached to the belt, not the bagpack

[bright glade]

so yeah, ankle, two at the hip, and one at the chest and you can have a shotgun or rifle?

I mean with all those guns, you could just run a melee weapon on your back too

instead of a rifle or shotgun, but those are very good for very bad situations

unless they changed double holster

[blazing coral]

authentic z also had a backpack attachment system, but it was via tailoring

[heady field]

[glass widget]

does anyone else think cigarette spawns are too rare? in rural 90s kentucky they should be EVERYWHERE

[heady field]

still no vanilla sling for 2nd back attachment

[scenic gazelle]

yeah, but somehow I have accumulated 2 whole packs and some chewing tabacco as non smoker lol
I mostly checked Gas-Stations

[blazing coral]

I gave up on smoker trait. literally couldn't take it anymore

[lethal wolf]

note to self: a box wine package with just -5 hunger doesn't mean there's a tiny drop of it. It made me shit-faced. Although on right clicking you could only consume all of it, or 1/4...

[blazing coral]

probably transfer it to a glass first depending on the size of the box

[lethal wolf]

I found it in a trash can, and I thought could as well use the calories before the massive trek from nowhere towards McCoy to fetch my other car

165 calories or so truly mislead me

[blazing coral]

[lethal wolf]

didnt a white wine bottle have like 1500 calories before b42?

[scenic gazelle]

I wonder if fixing the battery bug is on TIS priorities rn
battery drain even if you are not using them is killing my underground exploration rn

not to mention car battery drain

[bright glade]

it had like 400

before b42

or maybe it was 500 or near that

1500 cal is burbon

[lethal wolf]

well 150-165 calories worth of boxed wine got me piss drunk, while a full bottle before couldn't do much

[bright glade]

I took the red wine over the white wine before though because that has more calories

[blazing coral]

I wonder what the long term plan for batteries is. does TIS want us to use torches and lanterns only late game?

[scenic gazelle]

Huh, are torches a thing?

[scenic gazelle]

they will probably add recharable batteries I hope

[lethal wolf]

batteries in any form, in or out of devices drain?

[blazing coral]

maybe I'm trippin'

[scenic gazelle]

or just add more light sources that don't rely on batteries

[scenic gazelle]

as for now, yes
even car batteries

but car batteries can be charged with the car running, the alternator charges them

[lethal wolf]

well we're gonna wait for a while for next fix, christmas time

[scenic gazelle]

We got two types of lanterns at least

Hurricane needs to be actually lit with matches/lighters

[bright glade]

ah, the ancient lantern and the modern lantern

[scenic gazelle]

think the Hurricane one can be filled with petrol in order to work properly

gasoline I mean

Yeah

[blazing coral]

I want beekeeping so bad. wax goes hard in the apocalypse

[scenic gazelle]

really nice, goddamn

[bright glade]

I think those things ran on kerosene, but there are types that can use all sorts of other fuels too

[scenic gazelle]

time to grind electrical...

Oh nvm, I need the recipe

[real fox]

YESSS EARLY GAME TOO

ima save this pupper for when my maintence is higher

[scenic gazelle]

Awesome
iirc those are more durable than their wooden counterpart

[real fox]

yesssir

[blazing coral]

and you can still mod them with screws

[bright glade]

I like how those tin cans have uses now, instead of stuff I throw on the floor and forget about cleaning them up

[scenic gazelle]

yeah!
I liked that too

[bright glade]

like their use as a cheap water container

[real fox]

have any of you been jumped while reading your map lmfao

[scenic gazelle]

the trash has some use now

[dim venture]

tbf tho finding any bottle is easier than a can and can opener

[real fox]

its a fear of mine lmfao

[bright glade]

can use a knife or sharp stone

[dim venture]

but im sure even then that the cans can be melted into ingots maybe

[bright glade]

plus finding them in trash cans

[dim venture]

true

[blazing coral]

that risks cutting your hand just so you know

[bright glade]

I always make sure I'm safe in a house I know is cleared or in the safety of a car with no windows smashed

[dim venture]

ppl need to hurry up on youtube im tryna see crafting in action lol

[bright glade]

I pretty much figured out how the fluid system works on my own

its pretty versatile with what you can mix, just not the "non-consumable" liquids

and also a maximum of eight liquids at once

[dim venture]

what are uses tho

[bright glade]

well, you can water down stuff to make it last longer

and make your own drinks

want to mix milk and coke? it's possible

[scenic gazelle]

Sometimes I am tempted to just mix water and cola for the no sleep effect, but I want to keep my gameplay legit
so I am avoiding cola and any other beverage except beer because of the fat gains

[lethal wolf]

the liquids do not properly work as mixtures tho

[scenic gazelle]

My character is THIN rn
73 weight
Gaunt.

[delicate rover]

good, I dont need my friends watering down my booze after they drink half of it all

ik forsure theyd drink half then refill it with water if they could

[bright glade]

please explain

[scenic gazelle]

also, anyone figured out how to make coffee?

[lethal wolf]

when water content bypasses 50%, it becomes auto-drink enabled, but will not do anything to your tiredness. Same, sadly, when you fill missing portions of a cola drink with water, once it goes over 50% water, won't do much. But so far, I managed to relatively often mix water to original cola drink, and my character would most of the times drink the water part, which would function as cola for tiredness removal purposes. But eventually, even then the cola part would drain enough to make the drink mostly water.

[blazing coral]

#1318684957526458450 message I found a coffee machine earlier

but didn't have any coffee to try it

[scenic gazelle]

Coffee machine? damn
a new quest.

[lethal wolf]

Unfortunately the art of colamancy is still relatively new, but as I explained yesterday, I somehow managed to make dispenser water infinite if filling it with least amount of cola possible, and then filling containers. It did not (according to tooltips) drain at all when filling a bottle from it.

[vague trench]

colamancy lmao

[lethal wolf]

and its advanced class, Pilkomancy (cola + milk)

[bright glade]

specifically pepsi and milk, that's where the p in pilk comes from

[vague trench]

lol

[lethal wolf]

can't really call it Silkomancy, Soda + Milk, so Pilk it is

[vague trench]

wait can you make pilk?

[bright glade]

yes

[lethal wolf]

You can make multiple variants of pilk, if other animals than cow can produce milk

[bright glade]

I've done it in debug mode..

[lethal wolf]

Diet Pilk, the elixir of gods

[bright glade]

mother, I'm a criminla

criminla.. criminla

[blazing coral]

Once I get coffee i'll brew these bad boys

[timber talon]

just tried this, lol that's hilarious good find

[lethal wolf]

Do note I am not entirely sure how the hell I managed to invoke ancient magicks like this, but it was bewilderingly confusing, either it worked, or the tooltips didnt update the volume contents...

[timber talon]

it's prolly a glitch/oversight, i managed to duplicate my bowls when i was separating my stew out into portions yesterday

i have 60 bowls now, lol

[glacial cape]

Not the pilk 💀

[lethal wolf]

Same, I've duplicated gas containers

[bright glade]

https://tenor.com/view/coca-cola-gif-19938481

[timber talon]

any chance you know what gives the stone chisel recipe @lethal wolf

[lethal wolf]

I found this immediatly

[glacial cape]

Most likely a recipe magazine, I found a schematic for a whetstone from an survivor house so it's probably there

[lethal wolf]

I have a starting level in knapping, so perhaps thats why it shows the recipe already

[glacial cape]

Or a library/school

[timber talon]

ugh, that's rough i can't do anything without a chisel lol

[glacial cape]

Oh did you grab wilderness knowledge? Thats probably where you got the recipe from

[lethal wolf]

I certainly did

[glacial cape]

I regret not grabbing it :(

[timber talon]

naurrrr i should've gotten it

nevermind, i know now what i'm going to force my gf to take muahaha

ALL FOUR WHEELS CAME OFF.
ALL OF THEM.

[bright glade]

what the

[delicate rover]

do we know if rainwater can fill up water troughs?

[bright glade]

it was one zombie

[glacial cape]

Car wheels bought from temu

[real fox]

LOL WTF

[delicate rover]

wish.com

[topaz epoch]

Bro got their tire perms taken away

[timber talon]

collision nonsense happened to me earlier today as well, hit a rabbit on the highway, flipped my car 180 and back, wrecked the tyres

[lethal wolf]

was that zombie wearing the old soviet anti-bear spike full body armor

[bright glade]

you ran over one single zombie corpse and all the wheels decided to not do this anymore

[scenic gazelle]

I am impressed

[blazing coral]

Put X files theme over it

[lethal wolf]

But what happened to the dungeon tunnel zeds?

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-cat-eating-chips-gif-27622762

[bright glade]

that needs a bug report

[real fox]

me rn with cheaps in game

mf are saving me from being malnurished

chips cant type lmfao

[scenic gazelle]

Killed most of them hand-to-hand
ran out of batteries, cant fight in the dark
I am off to that old museum, gonna check for the hurricane lantern and resume my Dungeon crawling

[lethal wolf]

Good luck, I'm hiking from the right side of the picture, to the left, in search of gasoline

[scenic gazelle]

Chips are good, specially now that they have flavours
the cream and onions are my favourite

[real fox]

reaaaall, sour cream and onion SLAPS irl anyways haha

[scenic gazelle]

DAMN
long hike
you will make it, I have faith in you

[blazing coral]

Brazilian car when it tries to go through customs with new tires installed in Paraguay

[bright glade]

there's chicken nugget bags now and also tater tots, life is good

well I assume they're tater tots, they have a different name in pz

[scenic gazelle]

lmao
I am Brazilian and once a mechanics guy in my neighborhood was carving tires to make them look brand new
he got arrested

[lethal wolf]

maybe I could ride the bull I found earlier in the trailer...

[scenic gazelle]

craziest shit I've seen in my life and I dunno how people did not notice the carvings BEFORE buying them

[scenic gazelle]

talking about riding
can we say for sure that horses as a transport vehicle will happen in thhe future?
chariots, wagons, riding horses etc...
since the devs are aiming for a more complete late-game

[lethal wolf]

https://media1.tenor.com/m/k_4-AW8Ol6gAAAAd/project-zomboid-horse.gif

We have walking/running animations for animals now, and animal combined with sitting in a vehicle equals mount

[dim venture]

anyone think glassblowing was a weird addition that made the cut

[opaque schooner]

The only horse we will ever need

[bright glade]

well, if you want to make new lightbulbs or if you're in the wilderness scenario, you gotta make glass to make lightbulbs too

filament is relatively easy to make too, it's just the part where you have to get all the air out of it that's hard I think

[dim venture]

if anyone is on rn can you send a ss of glassblowing crafting menu?

[glacial cape]

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

[blazing coral]

isn't it mainly to repair windows and windshields? oh wow. even a wine glass

[dim venture]

thanks yeah so this is what i remember and i dont know if this is all i can make or if there are hidden recipes

[forest shore]

That is an insane amount of branches.

[bright glade]

by the way I found a funnel, what does it do?

[forest shore]

I don't know of a good way to collect that many

[lethal wolf]

Enables wild parties including shouts of "chug, chug, chug"

[glacial cape]

Could chop trees & bushes whilst foraging with firewood as an focus

[dim venture]

i mean its realistic but are branches rng lol

[lethal wolf]

A lean-to can be made with tarps, too, easier

[dim venture]

that would be annoying

[blazing coral]

I have no idea. you can search the crafting menu and change the search to required ingredients

[forest shore]

I didn't think you could cut bushes

[forest shore]

Seeing how far I can go with 100% forest run.

[glacial cape]

you can remove bushes with a knife and it will drop either a branch or a twig

Strange we cant use an axe to chop a branch from a tree yet we can now pick up stones & mine small stone outcroppings on the ground with a pickaxe

[dim venture]

yk what crafting menu REALLY needs??
a way to show what you can craft with something!!!!

like in minecraft with JER mod where u can press U to see uses of an item 😢 pls devs

[bright glade]

maybe one day we'll need funnel to transfer liquids between bottles..

[forest shore]

You can

[dim venture]

not things u can actually craft in that momnet

[bright glade]

or into a bottle from a larger container

[blazing coral]

Yea, rn you can only manually type the name of the item and change the search to ingredients

[dim venture]

sounds pretty jank, should be able to just right click any ingredient or smth

never noticed and new players def wont and theyd need it the most

[blazing coral]

trying to click the item was my first idea too

[autumn pier]

Picking up skeletons gives them back their skin…? Weird bug

[glacial cape]

I get why they removed right click menus for crafting, but it still kind of exists when adding cooking ingredients but I think they should've kept it along with the new crafting menu ui

and I think carving is also a right click interaction

[gleaming perch]

fuck No

[real fox]

likely maybe they dont have an animation for certain corpses

so it gives them pre skeleton mesh for the animation maybe

[blazing coral]

it persists after you drop the corpse. doesn't turn back to skeleton

[dim venture]

biggest fix for this game: RADIAL MENUS

all they need to do is add radial menus for interactable objects like for example sinks should have a radial menu for drinking, filling, washing, etc and submenus should also be provided

if not then they need more hotkeys other than doors, windows, curtains

[lethal wolf]

So now you're a reverse necromancer

[blazing coral]

I turn the dead undead into a less dead undead?

[lethal wolf]

Instead of putting people down to turn them into skeletons, you lift them up turning them to flesh...golems

[real fox]

yummers

[forest shore]

How the heck do I start a campfire in this version

[blazing coral]

building menu

[forest shore]

No no I have the campfire ring

How do I start the fire

[blazing coral]

oh, that should be some fuel in the firepit, and some fire source + kindling on you

[real fox]

right click and add fuel to it, which can be a various amount of things

youll also like casper said need something to lightup the fire

[forest shore]

What the fire source part is my issue. I have a notced plank - but I can't for the life of me figure out what else I need in my inventory

[real fox]

you need matches or something to start the fire as well

[blazing coral]

wiki says you need a branch or sturdy stick with the notched plank. I never used it so I'm not sure if that is accurate

[forest shore]

Tree branch, wooden rod, Small Handle have all not worked.

I have a feeling it may be bugged.

[glacial cape]

Do you have matches?

[forest shore]

Ok figured it out. I twas bugged (:

Notched plank and wooden rod to light a campfire.

[heady field]

so no more random flammable huh

[real fox]

question

does build 42 allow more door types to craft?

[dense vortex]

i have the same question

[lethal wolf]

Doorframes yeah, doors itself doesn't look like it for me, maybe if I level up carpentry.

[vague trench]

lol

[cosmic yoke]

actually so sick and tired of the front of my car taking massive amounts of damage while im slowly running over zeds with the back. like lets be fr here

i had to reverse thru a crowd and my hood went from 100% to 50% in the span of 5 seconds and. im not kidding

[lethal wolf]

Cannot pick up this tent via means I know of: what gives?

[real fox]

known bug i think from what ive seen

is this a tent you found or put down

[lethal wolf]

Found, camping store

[real fox]

yup known bug rn

#pz_b42_chat message

[lethal wolf]

I will demolish the whole floor if I have to, this is the first tent I've found and I'll be damned to leave it here while I desperately need good quality rest

[forest shore]

You know what would be cool. A trait that keeps you from driving cars.

With the current version it would be possible now to make the trips between towns without a car. Albeit time consuming.

I died in my forest run so maybe I'll do that next? For funsies.

[cosmic yoke]

anyone else unable to carry trailers w a bull behind them? is my truck too weak to drive? lmao

i dont wanna leave the poor dude behind and i live a full day's drive away from where i found him

it's faster when i drive backwards ? so im wondering if this is a bug

[vague trench]

im not sure i wasnt able to hookup an animal trailer to my van that had a bull had to walk him all the way back home lol

[heavy crown]

What changes really enable this that didn’t exist before?

[cosmic yoke]

lol i think the issue was the trailer itself apparently had a quality of 10%. which would explain why it wasnt doing anything

[real fox]

migration

cities = more zombies , wilderness = WAY less zombies, unless otherwised change in sandbox in build 42

[autumn pier]

a good example is muldraugh, no more roadstrip of doom, instead, them zeds are all over the houses and shops

[heavy crown]

That didn’t make it impossible to travel between towns in B41. More annoying, sure, but it was already prohibitively boring to walk between towns

[autumn pier]

B41 roads were clogged with zeds, you'd have to clear the roads beforehand or you would need to swerve around hordes

[cosmic yoke]

i still encounter the random road hordes. were those meant to be removed?

[autumn pier]

No, I believe that's intentional

but I could be wrong on that

Just feels intentional though

[dim venture]

woohooooo updated!

[heavy crown]

As long as there’s no sprinter zombies, you can just walk around/through hordes without that crazy of maneuvering

[hallow sail]

chop trees

[hallow sail]

your vehicle just needs really good condition

[hallow sail]

W!

[dim venture]

just in case i dont mean i updated just happy this is back

[hallow sail]

oh yeah i know. i used to use that mod so thats fire

[dim venture]

yoo limp bizkit]

oh well i guess the pucci pfp wouldve helped

no way you got that

ofc its a classic

oh when did u get into it

im like 6 chapters behind on part 9

[hallow sail]

forever ago but didn't bother to read any manga until i finished the part 6 anime

[dim venture]

ah ok yeah part 7 might be my fav

[hallow sail]

it was good for the first bit! i'll come back to it

[dim venture]

@forest shore @blazing coralwell there we go

were there skill books for melee in b41?

[lethal wolf]

nay

[hearty pond]

okay, neat, they are in b42 default

Bro what. Of course not

[ornate parcel]

Both, for sheep they’re two organs in the same pouches, the animal kingdom is weird

[lethal wolf]

I've found a long blade, aiming, reloading book so far

[hearty pond]

yep found the long blade earlier, too

they seem to be quite rare

[lethal wolf]

sadly mine is Long Blade vol 4, not gonna be able to read that for a LONG TIME

i got vol 1, come over and read it am in rosewood

i havent found any worms yet, but i swear there was another bug type they liked

[vague trench]

No fair santa suit!!

[vague trench]

Maybe caterpillar?

[lament crow]

hmmmmmmmmmmr

probz, i assume its a wrigly thing like that, not sure if the trap will work anyway (i do have that mod that lest u place em closer)

[lethal wolf]

Hmm will all domesticable animals die permanently if you don't catch them quick?

[lament crow]

i dont think there are any carnivores in atm and zombies dont seem to attack them so i assume they'll just infinitely run away until there calm or you catch t hem and put em in a pen

[lethal wolf]

alright, ty

on other news, my livestock trailer went upside down after little curve, when I pushed it gently, it flew 50 meters to the east

[lethal wolf]

also I was more worried about their hunger and thirst, I got this one bull dying to thirst in a trailer (natural spawn), so I wonder if non-wild animals can die that way before I get to them

[red hazel]

I built fences around the animal zone. I wonder if they can run away when zombies are near lol

[lament crow]

i'd assume so yeah, dont worry bro i went thru this exact same moral dilemia the other day

[lethal wolf]

well, I just spotted a lot of chickens living among a horde, now thats gonna be a rescue operation

[lament crow]

But the animals do have a (computer brain word i cant say cuz i still might get muted) best thing to do is find any animals unatended just leave the gates/doors open and they should stay in their pen area until there is no more food or water and theyd go look for it

[vague trench]

Unless you have animal meta events on ( off by default) i have been seeing some alive some dead but they have food or water in ttheir pens, been trying to find a dang cow in echo only found a bull

[lament crow]

atleast in theory that's how i think it works

@vague trench thank you also muppers, catiplier works

[red hazel]

Do yall just throw all your loot in one pile or actually build storage crates? I feel like Im wasting my time neatly sorting them into crates lol

[lethal wolf]

The Loot Pile(tm) until it lags the FPS

[red hazel]

I think ima go that route too. Tired of making more crates because I usually go out and grab a bunch of junk

[vague trench]

Yay

[vague trench]

Sonetimes lol im really bad at keeping things where they go

[pallid hinge]

It starts in a pile, and then during the early night (before bed) or a foggy day it gets sorted

[lethal wolf]

It becomes a dragon's hoard without a dragon in SP, until it becomes a bad habit and a problem for game stability FPS wise. Then MP server hosting with a friend who is absolutely mentally tormented by The Loot Pile(tm) and he alone will build a sorting room for the loot and fixes the problem on his own and I never learn a thing.

[pallid hinge]

🤣

[vague trench]

Me with rat poop

[pallid hinge]

I don't think I have ever let The Loot Pile get to FPS wrecking point, it usually gets cleaned up by then... And on my MP server, I have friends who never leave the base cause they are scared of zombie combat so that is part of what they do

[pallid hinge]

🤣

[real fox]

yessss

[lament crow]

when you go to crafting recipies and look at saws theres three, a normal saw a wood one and a crude one

i assume the crude one is a very basic make, but again i cant see a crafting recipie for it anywhere even know it shows up in saw options

[cunning turtle]

Well maybe there's not a craft recipe, just you have to loot it

[remote bear]

This mod would be crazy lmfao

Especially in b42, true farming sim

[pallid hinge]

Trying to figure out how best to utilize this ambulance that I dragged back last night. There is no way I am gonna be able to get it into the field like I want to cause it is in such bad shape, and towing off road is near impossible, just good enough to get the siren to go... so I might have to pull the horde to the road, but that cuts me off from my main exit

Right? Would be pretty sick to have going

[red hazel]

I'll survive on rat meat yum

Also, why are some of my sheeps stressed? No zombies around and there is food and water

[cunning turtle]

Maybe they're stressed about life in general lol

[spark cosmos]

Real

[red hazel]

Also, why can't I place this bed? Red anywhere in the building. I've been sleeping in the car because of this lol

[real fox]

even inside the buildings itself?

[red hazel]

yup

[real fox]

weird

[lament crow]

can you place the bed in any other building that isnt player constructed?

[red hazel]

ill give that a try

Not even in this one. Idk

[versed dagger]

Strange. Does the bed come in 2 pieces? Have you tried leaving one on the ground, and keeping the other in your inventory then placing it? That's what I did when I was having a similar issue, finnicky I know.

[red hazel]

it's all in one piece. I took it from an army training camp

[versed dagger]

😭

[hollow patio]

anybody else have the issue where rain doesnt fill containers outside with rainwater?

[glad pawn]

do you have both pieces

[red hazel]

I assume so? 2/2

[versed dagger]

there's the problem. you're missing the (1/2) part... it comes in 2 pieces.

[glad pawn]

how do we tell em

[red hazel]

what lmao

I picked it up. All I saw was this lmao

[versed dagger]

[red hazel]

Well, time to drive back and get the other piece from another bed then lol

[cunning turtle]

Exactly

[velvet egret]

need to have 1/2 and 2/2 pieces in your inventory. Also, applies to other placeable objects like ice boxes (2 pieces) and the large beds (4 pieces)

[lament crow]

Hmm, what is your carpentry level?

i know its stupid but even a near high level carpentry can still "fail" at picking up a bed couch or even crates

as the others have said if you fail a pickup it'll only drop one part of the furniture item, and you need both parts for a placement

[azure bluff]

what a bummer

[lament crow]

😩

[cunning turtle]

Pointman what's happening there

[lament crow]

rip ur armour

[red hazel]

It's 5. I knew about failing but didnt know only one part will show up or needed multiple parts lol

For those of you that chose echo creek, where did yall find generator magazine usually

Awfully unlucky this character in terms of finding it

[onyx wigeon]

will there be multiplayer for the unstable version???

[real fox]

In the next few months possibly

[onyx wigeon]

damn

[real fox]

Multiplayer might be the final phase before they fully release 42 I’m assuming

But again I’m not sure

Could really be anytime , there’s not really a defined schedule of sort

[onyx wigeon]

phew

[humble sail]

How do i attatch a trailer to my car?

[real fox]

In the past it’s taken a month I think for one of the unstable releases or so

But this is a pretty big update so it’ll likely be longer than a month

Especially since we’re adding npcs ( the animals technically are npcs )

[humble sail]

Im just happy with what we have now, very excited to collect and house animals and experiment with the new farming features

[real fox]

And other mechanics as well

I’m really enjoying the lighting changes

And the zombie migration and detection

[humble sail]

Yeah me too

Im not too aware of the new zombie features though

But the lighting feels alot better, gives more of a sense of urgency to stay lowkey at night bc of how dark it gets even with cat eyes

[azure bluff]

the drip is unbelievable

[red hazel]

Man, I hate this so much lol

[azure bluff]

Has anyone encountered this sound before...? I cant see anything thats changed

[real fox]

Same the battery bug is so fucking annoying

The thing I’ve been doing is storing batteries in devices

They seem to not drain when in powered off devices

But in containers seem to drain , even if they are on the ground since the ground technically is a container too

[regal spindle]

aw, no more having my gennie power streetlights huh?

[red hazel]

I thought about putting them in devices but those take up weight as well unless I find a bunch of penlights then that's okay. I barely ever see any though

[real fox]

Basically find a bunch of radios bring them up base and just fill em up with batteries when you find batteries n then your set

[lament crow]

how does one milk da cow

is it a shrimple process or do i need other items than a bucket

Hang on, how does liquid spoilage work now

bitten right as I found the generator magazine, this game is so cruel. this is my longest playthrough of 42 yet (30 days)

[lament crow]

Do u guys know if food jars bugged aswell? is it normal for the jar itself to become an edible item with the food inside or is it meant to be like 41

probably meant to be separated

that inventory mod is already compatible with B42?????

[azure bluff]

Yep! Surprisingly it was one of the first few too, was updated like the second day

[broken socket]

teh tarkov paperdoll thing was damn near one of the first yeah

[proud leaf]

How do i get mods on b42, when i subscribe to them they dont show

[azure bluff]

Hiked all the way down to the bottom of the map thinking this would be a small little group of cabins. Wasn't expecting this...

[azure bluff]

If they haven't been updated for build 42, they won't show. The file structure has changed. So make sure you only subscribe to mods that have the Build 42 tag

[knotty yew]

RIP soldier

what’s the story behind your demise?

[lament crow]

this was my face when i discovered my lil fishing hut thats up the top northeast corner is no longer hugging just woods theres a whole ass town behind it now

[gaunt zodiac]

is there like a way to pick up pigs? just get pigs from point A to point B relatively fast?

[azure bluff]

You can use a rope to guide them

Otherwise, there are also animal trailers

[gaunt zodiac]

how many ropes? and do i usually find the animal trailers on farms or something?

[azure bluff]

Trailers seem to spawn randomly, and it's just one rope I'm prett ysure

[gaunt zodiac]

oh. ok ty

[lament crow]

dont quote me but i do have a feeling your more likely to find animal trailers on a farm yes

[regal spindle]

not being able to put zombie corpses in containers is a sad sad thing

[real fox]

Up to fucking late lmfaooo

[gaunt zodiac]

can someone show me what animal trailers look like?

[subtle tendon]

are traps in the game or nah (zomboid traps)

new loading screen

[regal spindle]

So wierd seeing the muldraugh main road not a complete mosh pit

any gas station tho watch out

[hollow mica]

I got greedy, went on a trip to find gas, not only did I find plenty but I also found the gen magazine but instead of going back home I got greedy and wanted to loot a bar while exhausted. I ended up fighting a bunch of them in pitch black inside the bar and couldn't jump the window in time to avoid a bite. totally deserved lol

[red hazel]

does the animals need clean water or I can just use rain water (tainted)?

[forest shore]

Rain water works fine. I build a trough outside and just let rain water fill it up.

[azure bluff]

Ayo?

[red hazel]

Okay, turns out the trough wasnt collecting rain water since I put clean water in it initially

[red hazel]

Theres one that says "Saucee Pic"

[severe prawn]

I dont know if those two letters where used in creation of new title screen but i honestly dont care. It looks amazing and it should be brought back.

[hollow mica]

yeah I totally liked the new images, must've sucked for the devs to spend all the money and anticipation just for players to push them into scrapping everything. though I think it would be even better if the background images were from the actual game just like those photos in the newspapers and flyers

[lament crow]

yeah they were probz testing the waters, actually theres a mod that adds that in

The same new looking style background but in a PZ art lookalike

[hollow mica]

whaaat? where?

[visual trail]

chop down trees

carve saplings into long sticks

also factories are good places to loot basic stuff like handles and sticks, rods

[visual trail]

the feeding troughs can fill up with rain it's not a problem

the chicken hutch needs constant cleaning or they get sick, too constant to be honest, should be checked

[lament crow]

[forest shore]

The two top left most trailers are animal trailers. There's only 5 trailers in game right now.

[regal spindle]

It kinda bugs me that gas cans and jerrycans have the same capacity, I think the jerrycans should be bigger

[glacial cape]

I see ty

[blazing coral]

I found the motherload of electronic loot and mechanics

there is a parking lot outside an electronics factory with like 10 of the same exact van, each of them with crafted electronics and tools and magazines

[blazing coral]

yes, playing it rn

They don't in real life though. The metal cans carry the same amount and the plastic ones.

[forest shore]

Yep, playing it on Steamdeck.

[blazing coral]

2 how to use generators zines

[sonic viper]

Does earning XP from live TV (like live woodcraft) stop giving you XP once you hit level 3? My character never got XP for carpentry from woodcraft as a carpenter

Just wondering if it’s intentional or not

[forest shore]

light bulbs can break

I just saw the sandbox setting for it. So there's technically a finite supply of lights

[regal spindle]

yeah I turn that nonsense off, I don't need to spend my days stealing headlights off cars because my lamps keep breaking

[forest shore]

Correct - there's a sandbox setting for that.

[sonic viper]

Ok thank you. Will definitely be changing that in the settings

[forest shore]

You can change it mid-game via debug

I'm also upping the spawn rate of books lol

[plucky panther]

You can change the specific spawnrate of stuff via debug???

[forest shore]

There's so many now it's hard to find the ones I need

[forest shore]

Via sandbox settings. Which you can access from debug mode or at the start of the game.

[blazing coral]

wow this place was trashed

[forest shore]

Ok game chill wtf I only moved it up one notch

[azure bluff]

west of muld?

[blazing coral]

closer to about south of riverside, near the golf club

never seen so much loot spawn on the ground in pz

I like the art, but it feels like it gives away immediately that Bob is actually infected in this.

Oh nevermind.

I'm stupid sorry, just opened the link and saw the dark version

[regal spindle]

Hm, how do you get stone bricks? I see the whole thing for clay ones

[solid coral]

Chisel + hammer + large stone (iirc)

[regal spindle]

is it a crafting station thing or just a recipe? I kinda don't see a recipe for it

[solid coral]

May need a flat surface, but it's definitely in the crafting menu.

[regal spindle]

oh there it is, dunno why my search didn't grab it

ah, stone blocks

[solid coral]

Y'know, I tried crafting a character that would be able to be completely self-sufficient in the wilderness, but having my tech progression being hard gated by tools that I have to just find premade sucks pretty hard.

[regal spindle]

you can technically make everything but it leads you down a rabbithole of always needing another skill over to make that tool

like how I'm looking at this furnace I made going "fug" because I need a ceramic crucible so now I need to go do pottery

[hollow mica]

be me
bring a chicken home because starvation
try to cook chiken but NO! it's alive and I have to kill it first
put it on the ground
chicken keeps running everywhere and I'm too tired to kill with one hit
accidentally break 2 windows and damage a door chasing after the damn chicken
attract zombies that destroy 2 more windows
spend so long fighting the zombies with full exhustion and end up with a bloodied house and darkness
chicken is still fking alive
trap the chicken and hit it +20 times
chicken is still alive
open the door and let the cursed thing go
wtf?

[slim merlin]

Sounds about right tbh

[hollow mica]

I just realized I also broke a knife trying to kill the chicken and now I can't even open food cans

[gleaming perch]

everyone dies

Johnny fucking loses his right arm too but he gets put in a wheelchair again

Steven Steel gets ripped in half and dies

Johnnys father fucking dies

[humble sail]

left click over an animal and it gives you an option to automatically kill it for you

[hollow mica]

that's the thing it didn't! I had one of those new knifes and a wrench and the option to kill was red

[humble sail]

Thats weird

My current setup is my inner most room without windows (my bathroom) is my slaughter room, anything i can carry gets brought there, put down, and butchered

Ill be building a whole new different animal area since im moving bases to one of the fully fenced off lake houses with a barn thats mostly built, just needs some diy and deforesting

Still am yet to find a fire axe in echo creek 😦

[solid coral]

To make a primitive forge, you need metal bucket (with clay cement), and to make a metal bucket, you need a forge; and to make a "crude saw" you need metalworking 7.

[digital cloud]

it’s your workbench

[hollow mica]

damn you have a whole butcher room going on, I haven't found many good base locations in the new areas but I haven't looked that much to be honest, gotta need a lot of space for all the new machinery

[humble sail]

Trust me its very primitive rn XD its just a bathroom

If your looking for base locations im currently at shuberts estate lake house

[spare breach]

it was like that even after closing the craft menu so it was weird

[humble sail]

Large gorgeous area completely fenced off with tall metal fences a car can wiggle through just about

[digital cloud]

oh :(

[humble sail]

Nice and well stocked too, only downside is that its a bit out of the way from everything else

[regal spindle]

I can't wash myself in my rain collectors? is the new container system just utterly disconnected from the old water system?

[spare breach]

its either really bugged or devs have really odd decision making because i dont get it either

i cant even wash my rags/bandages through a sink

[regal spindle]

it just seems like sinks and the functions connected to them are kinda borked

[spare breach]

they'll need to fix that stuff

it is utterly nonsensical, theres no reason for it to be like this

[regal spindle]

It's on the list for after new years I imagine

sinks and things you can do at sinks need to be tied into the new fluid system

[solid coral]

Ah, another impassible wall: metal tongs (needed to make a metal bucket) require a heading tool, and forging the heading tool requires metal tongs...

[regal spindle]

to be fair I think only half the crafting system is properly done? and there's broken recipes here and there

[spare breach]

thank you indiestone

[static heart]

I'd say 10%

[spare breach]

the main problem is some of the requirements for recipes

also feels bad that most of the new improvised weaponry crafting is locked behind reading a schematic/magazine

if my maintenance and carpentry are both 4+ then i should be able to improvise by default

[regal spindle]

I imagine it's the sort of thing thats gonna be tweaked over time as player feedback comes in

[mild axle]

Merry Christmas everybody

[spare breach]

hohoho merr christmas

its funny because i wouldve figured trying to get into blacksmithing (and metal forging/smelting) wouldve been more accessible than trying to focus on welding

but as it stands now, many more welding recipes are available sooner than anything blacksmithing-related

even the new recipes like weld-made weaponry

[digital cloud]

[regal spindle]

some stuff I swear is just in no recipe books whatsoever

[visual trail]

you're too generous, I agree with @static heart it's more a taste of crafting to come since Crafting and Balance are the main focus of this build

It's very initial at this point

[gleaming perch]

game trashing mechanics looking great

[regal spindle]

I might just set power and water or maybe just water to persist until they've sorted out the water stuff

[gleaming perch]

this is true

they will be fixing alot of stuff in the crafting system as well as implanting the later things apart of it as well

https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2023/08/the-connection-is-made/

https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2023/11/one-door-openz/
everything from these Thursdoids crafting wise is going to be implemented so

[heady field]

any fix for resolution yet?

[gleaming perch]

no

[heady field]

thx, well maybe they will do more update after xmas or new yr

did great job releasing 42 before xmas, they gotta rest too

[frozen wyvern]

My character just got randomly sad after killing a zombie, i wonder why?

It would be cool if that alludes to you knowing the person before the apocalypse

[vague trench]

Lol i tried clearing that area to live there before dying

Ahahha i love this so much

[red hazel]

It was likely by chance. Your character doesnt like having blood on him/her which gives the uncomfortable mood. After a while, the character becomes sad and depressed

also when wearing clothing with discomfort debuff lol

[frozen wyvern]

I guess, my character never got the uncomfortable moodle tho

[red hazel]

hmmm, mine is always depressed because I wear a lot of things with discomfort debuff and soaked in blood

[vague trench]

All mice are now neds rats r francisis

[shut burrow]

hi pls fix the moodle descriptions

[frozen wyvern]

Whats the best way to wash clothes now after the water is gone?

Cant seem to do it with rain collectors anymore

[regal spindle]

I'm.. not sure, we were talking about it earliar, how the new liquid container system doesn't seem to be hooked into those mechanics yet

there's always wells or natural standing water I guess?

[gleaming perch]

when it rains heavy or using ponds/lakes

[forest shore]

Holy crap this is an amazing find

[gleaming perch]

yeah its really good

[quartz narwhal]

Even animal carcasses are bugged, they give infinite meat

[humble sail]

Can i spawn in the rosewood fire department as a firefighter or do i need a mod for that?

[honest wind]

New Screen?

[red hazel]

Cant refill?

says im missing a torch...

[opaque schooner]

What mods do you have on

[mild axle]

I looked around in 20 houses for a bread knife so I could cut it and make a burger but the bread knife didn't even work

[frozen wyvern]

Thats a mod menu screen lol

Also i think zombies like generators more now

[vague trench]

yah they love their gas stations too lol

[frozen wyvern]

Like holy shit I'm never playing with random hearing anymore, pinpoint hearing zombies are so egregiously evil

They're coming out from the woods to see the genny

[vague trench]

lmao yah i turned it back to random normal-poor lol

[frozen wyvern]

Should not be a default lol

[vague trench]

"sounds like a party , lets go guys "

[frozen wyvern]

All my weapons are in the car by the station with the zombies lol

[vague trench]

i dont mind the vision one but the hearing one is kind of annoying lol i was beating something and they were coming from nopeville

[frozen wyvern]

The hearing is the worst thing to be random

[vague trench]

ya , maybe if we could tinker the hearing range a tad or s omething, because i do love the idea that it is random but i was dying like constantly to the point where i had to further out in the woods lol it was just nonstop floods of them

cant even fart in silence

[frozen wyvern]

I like the randomness too but not a fan of zombies becoming superhuman

The random pinpoint zombies makes stealth unviable since theyll get aggroes on you if you just breathe

[vague trench]

yah, maybe it will get better over time n stuff , the stealth cause yea i agree i havent really stealthed too much when it was on default

[granite tusk]

There's a temporary solution

[visual trail]

just look at that list ! Blair has outdone himself 😉

[visual trail]

the stealth exploit is still in place lmao

[granite tusk]

Launch the game through projectzomboid64 batch on it's root folder instead of using steam library or executable directly
Resolutions shouldn't be automatically resized then
For res under 1200px width: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3388364573

[visual trail]

climb a roof and lure the zeds down next to a corner and crouch around the corner on the top floor

next I'm trying the maintenance exploit

[digital cloud]

ah yes i love 400x300

[visual trail]

and it's not all you can grow, not gonna spoil anyone

[vague trench]

[visual trail]

I loved that show man, nice meme

[dusk turret]

i just set off a house alarm at a farm

rest in peace piggies, im coming back for the tainted meat

[frozen wyvern]

Pigs and zombies are friends

Only zombies are mad at humans

This says a lot about society

[dusk turret]

do zombies eat animals

are all zombies involved in the EPA

[hollow mica]

is this a thing now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si0LoUFXK5s

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah im pretty sure thats in, havent messed around with the fluid system yet

[vague trench]

how many miles do you think shuffles walks a day on the loading screen

[worthy elbow]

Guys, how do I make a log wall in this new build? I put the items in my inventory and the carpentry option does not appear

[vague trench]

its in this now press that

[worthy elbow]

Tks!!!

[vague trench]

yar

[cunning turtle]

[vague trench]

will they only breed if they have a hutch

[forest shore]

Yea the other books I think will give me basically every growing season knowledge.

Think this place might be a little easter egg.

[gleaming perch]

i reckon it’ll be reverted back to the previous b41 default settings for zombies

i think they have it set to random for all properties since its unstable, allowing for people to test and find any bugs within them

[pallid hinge]

tbh they probably won't it is very romero-esque

and I kinda dig it lol

[vague trench]

Well apocalypse should be hard and i do like it just seems like a tad much sometimes but i just change it in my settings, dont think they shouldnt really mess with it much and just view it as a challenging approach to apoc

[sleek hinge]

Can they include in the settings an option for mute the music only in the main menu?

[blazing coral]

meanwhile electronics magazines drip feeding 1 recipe at a time 😢

[vague trench]

you can bind a button to mute the music , might work in a pinch of sugar

[sleek hinge]

Can you teach me? 😦

Also, the muscular tension was nerfed, but i kinda want it to play with. Do you guys know a balanced value to put in the sandbox option?

[vague trench]

Press escape go to options > then keybindings> then scroll down to the bottom where it says Audio and you can bind any key that works for you

[sleek hinge]

Thank you!

[keen gorge]

Heads up for everyone. There's a current bug affecting some drainables rn

[blazing coral]

somebody asked yesterday about vehicles with large trunks. This was the largest one I found so far (note I have organized trait)

[keen gorge]

So far it includes propane tanks, car batteries, and regular batteries

[glass widget]

gosh i had to have looted 3-4 gas stations. didnt find a single pack. ive accumulated three nearly empty ones, all of which were found in cars

definitely needs fixed

[keen gorge]

Also on mechanics, if you remove a car battery when it's nearly 0 charge, it will vanish

[hearty pond]

the game knows what you wants, so you get less of it

played with smoker didnt find anything, now playing without smoker, and i got a ton of them

[vague trench]

whos reading to the lambs lol

[pallid hinge]

[hallow sail]

what is the easter egg

[vague trench]

can we not bury animals or am idumb lol

[tender elm]

they need bedtime stories

[vague trench]

cause this was depression sammich and i gotta bury them

[vague trench]

think the only thing they going to be hearing is the worms lol

[opaque schooner]

Sandwich

Pls turn them into a sandwich

[vague trench]

noo lol

[pallid hinge]

The lamb was named Depression Sammich?

[forest shore]

Something to do with one of the survivor radio calls, there's two makeshift radios but maybe that's just supposed to be there

[vague trench]

NO i found them dead like that together

[dusky sand]

Anyone else think that fence hopping and running take too much energy? I’ve got 8 fitness and I feel like I can only run a couple blocks before the moodle shows up. And the chance to hop a fence seems way lower, though I AM underweight but I’m not sure how much that effects it

[pallid hinge]

OH lolll 🤣

[opaque schooner]

What about a nice stew

[vague trench]

no lmfao im not eating two lambs that died together lol

[forest shore]

I think fence hopping is affected by strength - which underweight reduces iirc.

[opaque schooner]

Fair enough

[dusky sand]

Ahh, right. Well I’m at 7 strength as well

[forest shore]

This is how you know puppers wouldn't make it in the apocalypse.

[vague trench]

lol

[opaque schooner]

Fr

[vague trench]

i would not , not with animals around lol

[opaque schooner]

How dare you not eat roadkill or random dead animals

[vague trench]

mm road crunch

[opaque schooner]

Mmmmm extra tire

[forest shore]

I'm not saying I would eat my best friend in the apocalypse. But like...

If I'm hungry... I can pretend it's bacon.

[vague trench]

just a finger lol

[wet timber]

How do I fill dispensers? Just says the target cannot be filled but I've seen other people talk about filling them in B42

[pallid hinge]

I had to remove the bottle from the dispenser in order to fill it

[wet timber]

Oh my eyes glazed over the "Take bottle" option until you mentioned it. Much appreciated

[pallid hinge]

❤️

[mild axle]

Why bread not work

I can't cut bread into slices

Do I need a cutting board

[vague trench]

says surface of sort if you havent tried

[mild axle]

Ohhhhh

[hallow sail]

Might just need to be near a table

[fallen inlet]

wtf

[tawny orbit]

nahh i thought its turbo but blower fans

[humble sail]

Somehow i became 'on edge' cutting trees

Clearing out some trees from my new base at one of the lakehouses, clearing the trees for some future livestock since theres already a mostly made barn

[vague trench]

LOL

[tawny orbit]

i was like NO WAY

[vague trench]

yah when i first saw it was like whys we need a turbo lmao

then i was like oh lmao

[humble sail]

Im not a smoker, i dont have fear of blood, not bit and i havent heard any zombies

Maybe my lumber jack just ironically gets stressed out cutting down strees

[hallow sail]

i got stressed doing it too. it just happens for some reason

[dusky sand]

Damn okay been doing some testing, 8fit9str low weight can jog 3 minutes before seeing a moodle, 9fit9str can jog 5 minutes 40 seconds before seeing moodle.

I do think the success chance for climbing a fence is too low though. Sample size is small (40 for each character) but the success rate is about 1/3 1/4 for each of them, they’re very similar. For 9 fitness (which says it effects climbing success chance) having a 1/4 chance to fail is awful

[humble sail]

This is why i disabled climbing failure

[humble sail]

We are the lorax

I dont get carpentry experience cutting trees?

Im guessing this is the same for dismantiling furniture too?

[glad plume]

TWD reference

[edgy kiln]

bro found the lone walker™️

[hallow sail]

i get it mainly from building things and barricading windows

[humble sail]

Thank you ^^

[wet timber]

I haven't found a single hammer 6 hours into this character lol

[humble sail]

Is there a furniture peice thats most efficient to dismantle for nails? im yet to find any boxes

[hallow sail]

you can barricade and unbarricade the same window over and over again for a decent amount of xp

[wet timber]

And ofc its when I chose the Carpenter profession

[humble sail]

Brilliant, tysm

Bc i mainly want to use bars so now ik i can just do it to one

[humble sail]

I seem to have the opposite issue, all hammers, no nails

[wet timber]

I have 80ish nails LOL

[hallow sail]

you get the nails and planks back btw when you unbarricade. u literally lose nothing unbarricading and rebarricading

[humble sail]

Wait fr? its completely infinate??

[hallow sail]

yup

[humble sail]

no chance to loose any of either?

[humble sail]

😭

[hallow sail]

not that i'm aware of

[humble sail]

Thats insane, i gotta get on that before it gets removed

[hallow sail]

mhm..

[humble sail]

question, im in one of the lake houses near echo creek, any tips on where to find generator mags?

[vague trench]

i found one , put it in a truck i found and my gas ran out in ekron by a huge hoard and had to dip lol

[wet timber]

Its enough to make a man go feral

[hallow sail]

an alternative is getting to electrical level 3 now, btw

[vague trench]

i found one sledge in a construction house thingie that was being built

[latent zinc]

Did build 42 turn zomboid into a insane grind?

[humble sail]

Oh dang i didnt know that

[hallow sail]

its a little more grindy. should alleviate when multiplayer returns

[humble sail]

I also feel like you could be trying to kill me, i mean this in the nicest way possible😅

[opaque schooner]

It’s always been a grind to max everything, it’s much more fun now though

[real fox]

projecty freakzoid

[latent zinc]

I mean I feel it’s impossible to level maintenance from 0-1 and it feels a little repetitive to grind carpentry

[hallow sail]

that was fast

[pallid hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/cowboy-gun-shooting-smoke-gif-5591465

[vague trench]

its always been like that just without crafting, mainly we were just dismantling shit to get xp which is why i never bothered leveling ANYTHING outside of carpentry. Just boring to me

[real fox]

BRO I OVERSLEPT

woke up at 1:30 pm

[pallid hinge]

All that time could have been Zomboiding

[real fox]

[pallid hinge]

real talk though, B42 has scuffed my sleep schedule so badly

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-17755263804686291502

literally same

[wooden rose]

finding books in b42 is like trying to find diamonds in minecraft

[real fox]

i had too much sugary drinks last night since i went on a late night gaming snack run and didnt sleep till like 6:30 ish

[hallow sail]

real

[visual trail]

Heads up if you drop batteries on the ground you can't pick them up if it's empty

[real fox]

fricken batteries are a menance in b42
