If a tool is favorite in your inventory it won't be used, you must unfavorite it to be recognized by the crafting UI

Fair enough, don’t focus on maintenance though. That’s a pretty passive skill

With generator mags, i read an article about the best chances being in elecronic/book stores as well as ocupation/skill related car trunks, is this still true in b42 do you recon?

if i have to be honest, the domestic animals are mildly inconvenient for me

#

i can have a cow whose model is bigger than another cow, but its 100kg lighter somehow

also i wish the breeds had distinct models and not just colors, but even more colors would be cool tbh

real fox
#

i also took tailoring trait

#

i need to invest into that to protect me

spare breach
#

elaborate on that

#

i dont see much of a difference with the grindiness, but muscle strain and the unbalanced loot spawns and recipe requirements are making playing it a bit more inconvenient

#

id say the latter 2 are the worst out of the 3 and also something that will go away with full release

#

i like the idea of muscle strain

hallow sail
#

i think zomboid has always been a grind, especially singleplayer

spare breach
#

forcing the gameplay to be really arcady and easy isnt something that PZ is about imo

#

sure you have tons of sandbox settings you can tweak to your advantage, but at some point it barely plays like PZ anymore

Ok so i tried grinding carpentry via barricading and unbarricading as you suggested, it does give experience however it isnt infinate, perhaps you get a higher chance of conserving materials the higher carpentry you are

#

If it doesn't bring up a UI or no context menu, it's not functional

I'm pretty sure its like 1 of the 3 broadcasts ingame that gives panic

keen gorge
stiff finch
#

there isnt ;-;

forest shore
#

I really hope the game more aligns with the lore in the future. Imagine if the early days everything is still mostly functional like the news says. Although I think most (all?) the news of the early days from outside so maybe it's already hell by then

keen gorge
#

Also have another source of water in your inventory

forest shore
stiff finch
#

oh well

#

i do have it. its just strange its not there with right click

#

i just duplicated item xDDDDD

forest shore
#

They're moving from right click entirely I think

stiff finch
keen gorge
#

Might just be one of the unintended changes due to the new crafting changes

#

You can still make soup and stew with right click after all

forest shore
#

I do think it would be a lot nicer if we could do soup in one click in the crafting menu. Just choose all the ingredients and click craft from there

keen gorge
#

Hell yeah one click beer soup

frozen wyvern
#

Yeah that would be cool

#

Its nice to know that the crafting UI is still very WIP so im excited to see it grow

static heart
#

i'm waiting since day one for a fix

spare breach
#

Does welding disassembly not award any XP in B42?

#

I really do not want to spam barricade stuff just to grind the skill

keen gorge
#

Disassembly doesn't give XP anymore except for electrical I think

#

But, as always, there's a sandbox option for that

spare breach
#

yeah for welding thats stupid af lol
cant really do much to level it from 0 otherwise

static heart
#

"You can craft everything you want" but you need to find all the items in order to craft them

spare breach
#

with carpentry its way more okay because its assumed you'll be making use of it much more

#

And it'd be right; i leveled twice easily with the use of books

frozen wyvern
spare breach
#

all im trying to build is a wooden shed

#

you also get carpentry xp by sawing logs even though its not that huge

frozen wyvern
#

XP isnt balanced well atm, its one of the focuses for the team once they come back from break

spare breach
#

welding disassembly should award some xp because unlike carpentry, your resources are more limited

#

if its a sandbox setting thats good but i dont understand why its not enabled by default. Unfortunately i cannot really change those settings while already playing

frozen wyvern
#

The philosophy is that TIS doesnt want ppl dissasembling the entire map to grind

keen gorge
#

I'm pretty sure you can change sandbox settings using debug

frozen wyvern
#

But yeah atm its not fully there yet, thats why the sandbox option still exists

spare breach
keen gorge
#

But yeah welding wack rn. The only way you can level it from 0 is by welding metal sheets into barricades or something

spare breach
#

and spam-barricading is a very sucky way to grind

forest shore
#

I'm poking through the files and there's some really cool new radio broadcasts

#

When the beta players realize theyre playing a beta panic

static heart
#

What's that got to do with it?

spare breach
frozen wyvern
#

Yeah rn im foraging for clay to make a forge

spare breach
#

i do not think iron/metal can be made right now, you can likely smelt things though

keen gorge
#

Can we smelt things? I actually never looked

#

I know you can cut those sheets and bars but I haven't seen smelting

spare breach
forest shore
#

The clay is the only thing I really struggled with right now.

frozen wyvern
#

Yeah clay is hard to find. It would be fun to find a pottery or arts supplies store with it

static heart
forest shore
#

Oh and buckets. Buckets are broken. The game keeps spawning Base.emptybucket instead of base.bucket in the loot tables and base.emptybucket isn't used in any crafting recipes.

static heart
#

that's what i would say if i was paddlefruit

keen gorge
#

A lot of things are broken

spare breach
#

despite my base being stacked with loot and materials

frozen wyvern
#

They werent complaining lol

keen gorge
#

Car and regular batteries, propane tanks, etc. We're still finding other drainables that are having the same issue

static heart
frozen wyvern
#

Recipes in magazines are a real bottleneck

forest shore
#

That is a problem on default loot settings. I tweaked books to be more common and it's actually feasible now lmao

frozen wyvern
#

Yeah i might do that as well

spare breach
#

the way i see it, recipe magazines should unlock certain recipes early for you, i.e. you'd normally learn those recipes upon hitting skill level 4 but the magazine allows you to use those recipes at lvl 3

keen gorge
#

Skill books are definitely hit hard with all those new literature

forest shore
#

Although I do wonder if maybe their spawn is bugged. I changed it up 1 loot rarity and now there's tons of books everywhere.

frozen wyvern
forest shore
spare breach
#

everything should be gained naturally without being bottlenecked, magazines would simply make the progress a bit faster

frozen wyvern
#

I know TIS really wants a lot of recipes to be linked to NPCs so i feel like its always gonna feel incomplete till then

How do I fix that darkness?

frozen wyvern
#

Flashlight

keen gorge
#

Just flip the light switch

spare breach
forest shore
#

Look at the recipes - most of the vanilla ones have "autolearn" tag

spare breach
#

reading recipe magazines atm is just another requirement for a recipe, but it doesnt otherwise modify anything

frozen wyvern
#

Indoor darkness is overtuned in many peoples eyes, hopefully light propogates further with some patches

keen gorge
#

Farming's broken

forest shore
#

How so?

spare breach
keen gorge
#

So I'm pretty sure all crops irregardless of how you care for them will die within 30 days

spare breach
#

for example im already at carpentry 4, almost 5, but 95% of carpentry-related improvised weapon recipes are still locked

#

it says i meet the skill requirement but --> "recipe has not been learnt"

forest shore
#

So the recipes aren't ever hard locked from you.

forest shore
spare breach
#

ok but if i need to reach like skill level 7-8 to automatically learn a recipe that would otherwise only require me to be skill level 4 thats dumb

spare breach
forest shore
#

Looking at most of these - a lot of them unlock around 5.

spare breach
#

4 maintenance 4 carpentry

forest shore
#

What weapon specifically

spare breach
#

I sure hope you are right

spare breach
#

and maintenance

#

i only have a few very specific maintenance recipes unlocked

#

i was able to create a metal bat with nuts and bolts for example

or put a few nails around a broken stick

#

but it's nothing grand

#

carpentry 4 and maintenance 4 shouldve unlocked more for me by now

forest shore
#

Ok so a lot of those require woodwork 8 and axe 5 for the axe type ones

spare breach
#

i find it difficult to understand why i need weapon-specific skills levels for some

or maybe not that, but the fact the requirement is pretty high

forest shore
#

On the flip side the blunt ones require blunt 5 and woodwork 5

spare breach
#

carpentry 8 is crazy high btw

hallow sail
spare breach
#

blunt 5 still very high, for an improvised sortiment of weapon recipes no less

forest shore
spare breach
#

seeing how slow leveling up can be, thats a bit crazy dont you think

hallow sail
forest shore
#

level 5 is when you start unlocking improvised weapons it seems. I will say someone said the improvised weapons are crazy compared to what you can find.

spare breach
#

carpentry weapon recipe requirements should max out at carpentry 6, 8 is professional level work

#

you said some have 8 so that spooked me

hallow sail
#

Agreed

forest shore
#

Yea I agree they're... High.

#

Unfortunately we can't change it easily - I (and it seems no proper modders) have found a way to overwrite the vanilla recipes.

spare breach
#

here's to hoping they tweak it heavily

#

if you even have a little knowledge when it comes to making DIY shit realistically you wouldve been able to come up with something decent already

#

level 5-8 in carpentry comes off as if you need to be a certified carpenter to be able to make something that is explicitly called as improvised weaponry

#

I dont think i'd mind the requirements that much but i hope they will atleast add more low-level recipes

#

so even less experienced characters can still, you know, improvise

forest shore
#

Yea I feel like improvised weaponory should be like level 2-4 not 5-8

spare breach
#

definitely

forest shore
#

But I haven't messed with the weapons myself so maybe they're zombie killing machines

spare breach
#

i dont mind if the highter-tier improvised weapons are level 5-6 but there needs to be way more options for the less experienced carpenters too

#

they could definitely come up with something

forest shore
#

I am going to try and make a new recipe and see if I can just overwrite the one tag that controls when it's autolearned

#

If so I can adjust all the improvised weapons and upload it to workshop, but it'll take me an hour or two. I'm not very good.

spare breach
#

and i havent used a metal bat on its own before so i cannot really compare

#

then the broken sticks with nails i've made still do have decent damage, but they break after like 5 zombie kills

#

even with my fairly high maintenance

#

it also seems that items such as duct tape or glue have very little use now

forest shore
spare breach
#

you can repair handles and specific tools with them, but not many weapons

#

i wouldve figured duct tape / adhesive tape or glue could be used for some maintenance skill improvised weapon recipes, no?

opaque schooner
fierce mountain
forest shore
#

Just instead of the entire weapon it's the actual part you're repairing.

spare breach
#

so you cant really repair the weapon at all

#

i could only prolong its lifespan by sharpening it once it was getting too dull

real fox
#

for emegency broadcast if i find the signal i can use it on another radio right?

forest shore
#

That was deceptively easy.

forest shore
#

@spare breach I'm going to need your opinion on this - level 2 for the lower end weapons and level 4 for the higher tier better ones you think?

spare breach
#

i consider level 4 to be already a very competent level

forest shore
#

Cool. Going to take me about 20-30 minutes to write it all out and test it.

So someone can chime in but I'm pretty sure its a three way tie between long bone spear, crude spear, or spear with garden fork for best/most damaging crafted weapon

Might be because spears inherently crit more than other weapon types?

yeah it makes zero sense LOL

why not planks? long sticks too?

#

I mean, I guess it takes time to make them all, but why did they think of a plunger before the obvious baseball bat? Wait is the baseball bat with barbed wire protected by copyright law?

I don't get why it would be

A baseball bat with barbed wire is a very iconic weapon in The Walking Dead

I looked it up and it can't be copyrighted because of it being a pretty common idea? It also predates TWD

you need to read a recipe mag for that though iirc

didn't know that, I am using knives quite a lot now, for stealth one-shot kills

i regret not increasing the spawn rate of survivor houses/survivor zombies, theyve lowered the chances drastically it seems

I have to really commend the developers on this design aspect: They added 3 locations away from any spawn locations where we're guaranteed to find dozens of ancient ovens such that you won't have to struggle to get to one no matter where you are. These are gonna help so much in both SP and MP!

If you're curious on where they are:

  • ||McCoy Estate, has 6 ovens, located West of the Dixie Crossroads||, close to Muldraugh and West Point
  • ||Dark Wallow Lake lodges, has 8 ovens, located on the Northern shore of Dark Wallow Lake and just southeast of the Dark Wallow Lake Guest House||, near Rosewood, March Ridge, and Irvington
  • ||Coalfield (a.k.a the Wild West town), has 31 ovens (you read that right), located near the main crossroads North of Echo Creek and Southeast of Brandenburg||, near Brandenburg and Ekron

do we know if there is any workaround to the B42 unstable problem where your game suddenly begins losing fps and becomes unplayable, then freezes?

#

Literally cannot continue playing because of this. My save is essentially bricked unless this issue is dealt with

I have had some occasional stutters but for the most part the games been running fine, is this a known issue?

I've heard some graphics cards got shafted with 42

it began happening randomly, like 40 ingame days in with my character

but it wasnt that gradual; the moment it started happening (basically 10 mins ago) is also the moment the game became unplayable

#

Ooof, I mean there have been some issues with an assload of aminals popping up

#

But idk, I do hope it's fixed for ya soon, might be best to not touch the save so you can recreate the bug and make a report to TIS once they're back

#

(Additionally could find a file hosting service to host the save on and we could try loading it to see if it works on other people's systems)

i literally cannot avoid not recreating the bug

weirdly tho if they are inside a device they wont drain if the device is off at least

so the workaround for batteries is to keep them in devices your not using so that they dont die in containers

propane cant do much, itll just drain

i get 160 fps on 4k

maybe 140 -100 fps when masive amounts of zombies are near me

Guys I have a question, I'm like a week into a playthrough and it seems that the water is gone but the power is still on. Is this new or was it always a thing. water going before power by itself.

although in B42 once water runs out of the reserves in the pipes as well, it doesnt come back, unlike in B41

Water used to come back in the pipes with the power and water off? thats a new for me. I always used to have a few water collectors up by then

soooooo
for single handed melee weapons, the conditions to gain maint xp are

  1. the weapon shouldn't be a firearm
  2. your character must have a weapon in your hand
  3. your character should NOT be aiming and shoving at floor (maybe that's stomping?) (left alt or whatever)
    and then you gain xp by 50% chance

for weapons that require both hands, the conditions to gain maint xp are same as with single handed weapons, but you gain xp by 33% chance than 50

for weapons that are not in "NoMaintenanceXp" tag you gain 1xp each time

for weapons with higher var2.getConditionLowerChance() (this probably works differently with b41) than 10,

#

not much difference with b41 on terms of gaining maint xp at the first place

lethal wolf
#

Nice find. I can barely understand much of it, but my trusty ball-peen hammer is not a super good weapon for maintenance from my experience

#

but now that you typed it, I do push zeds to the floor to kill them given my low strenght and fitness

#

and of course, if I kill them with 1 hit from the hammer, its less exp chances than multiple swings, but new playstyle with muscle strain severely limits the wild swinging

# real fox ERM WHAT THE FUCK???? XD

Rat king is a term used to describe the aftermath of densely rat-populated areas. Due to rats being knit so tightly together, their tails tend to tie together, often leading to them dying together like that. There are also lots of rat poo around, so this house was clearly vastly rat-populated.

real fox
#

#

on my end

#

i right click in n i dont really see any option for that

#

apperently the dryer works but not the washer lol

#

heavy shadow
#

it works for me. has anyone else consolidated thread and it just disappeared?

keen gorge
#

Yup known bug

#

The washing machine thing works as long as water's still on

heavy shadow
#

plumbing is bugged rn and i forgot washers are part of plumbing system alongside basically anything connected to water xP

#

i live near a river tho so im good till they fix plumbing in a patch but thatll probably take a bit to patch since thats a big thing to tinker/fix

I have about 20 rats now. Started from 2. Is there a way to use rat poison to kill them? lol

real fox
#

LMFAO??????

#

rat infestation?

red hazel
#

yea lol. They multiply like crazy at my farm

glacial cape
#

Kill them for free weapon xp

velvet egret
#

then eat them

glacial cape
#

Idk if anyone's noticed yet from my messages earlier but animals give weapon xp

red hazel
#

I can just kill them but I want to see them eat rat poison lmao

#

now to think about it, I wonder if mouse trap works

glacial cape
#

I've not tested trapping yet because hunting seems to be way more efficient

#

Car hunting > firearm hunting

No idea

do you drink soda to stay awake all day? Now it seems much more effective than coffee.

My rabbits and rats are thriving but I still have 7 chickens and no chicks? I expect sheeps to take a while so not too worry about them. I left the egg hatch door open 24/7. Does it need to be closed at night?

Theyre not on display here since they're sleeping in the hutch

I only see egg fresh lol

WHen you hover over the egg, it says it above the nutritional info

#

Do you7 have them in your fridge?

red hazel
#

oh, okay I see the fertilized part

#

I've been grabbing some but I leave majority of them. It's been like a month and not one chick lol

queen shadow
red hazel
#

oh. I left most of them in the hutch. What about the trailer?

queen shadow
red hazel
#

fridge with no power is fine?

queen shadow
#

I guess? Mine was powered. I'd just yeet them on the ground near the chickend and wait till they hatch

red hazel
#

Hmmm, power is dead for me. Ill just drop them on the ground

#

I'd be worried if my rats eat chicken eggs but it's not a thing yet heh

duuuuuude, best update ever

visual trail
#

only from crafting, this is default but can be changed in sandbox

keen gorge
#

Crafting threads doesn't give XP as well

red hazel
#

Is there any reason to repair using the method that requires more resources? Like, does it repair more over the others?

You can just go with the old classic of sewing/removing rags onto clothes

keen gorge
red hazel
#

Alright dope

visual trail
#

Yeah they said it's not a complete tech tree atm

visual trail
keen gorge
#

That option on the craft menu to make thread from rags

visual trail
#

yeah the Pick Thread option

#

that doesn't grant XP but using the spinning wheel to craft thread grants significant XP

keen gorge
#

Can you build a spinning wheel, I actually never checked

#

I haven't encountered one yet in any of my 5 playthroughs

visual trail
#

yes I have one and agriculture 8 ;))) I'm waiting on crops to start tailoring production

keen gorge
#

I think crops are bugged at the moment but it might just be on my end

visual trail
#

nope, didn't find anything wrong atm, way more realistic but If you don't follow the instructions like best month and growing seasons they will die

keen gorge
#

Nope, I've checked off all the boxes that might influence them. It seems like they consistently die after 2-3 weeks irregardless of what I do

#
  1. They're on their growing season
  2. Fertilizer doesn't seem to do anything except for the 1st time it is used
  3. There's no insects or pests that might kill them
  4. Water level is consistently topped up
#

But health keeps on draining

visual trail
#

I have harvested cabbages cauliflower and some strawberries also potatoes didn't seem anything wrong with the plants

#

but there is a chance that they will die even if you do all the stuff correctly

keen gorge
#

Alright I guess I need to isolate it further. Maybe its just on the new crops

visual trail
#

that's a chance that is not influenced by anything

#

from 5 seeds of cabbages I got only 2 plants that reached maturity the rest died

#

and the season the weather water levels were fine all the time

keen gorge
#

That seems kinda shitty. I just want my hemp farm damnit

glacial cape
#

Similar issue with my crops as well unhappy

#

Just die before getting anywhere with growing even In best season

visual trail
#

it is kinda shitty, that chance should be tweaked in future updates

glacial cape
#

I think what's happening is their dying in the next season because it's not a good season for it, it just feels like they die way too quickly

visual trail
#

careful even if the best month is march for example, if you plant them and it drops below 0 they die

glacial cape
#

2+ months in no crops, or agriculture levels at all and even my animals don't give much in terms of meat I'm surviving of butter generated by goats milk due to extremely rare loot settings

visual trail
#

so outside temperature is a crucial factor

humble sail
#

It seems carpentry level 2+ allows for infinate barricading and unbarricading

glacial cape
#

Really?

visual trail
#

yep

glacial cape
#

That sucks cause indoor planting isn't a thing anymore

keen gorge
#

At least milk OP

#

Have like 2 goats or cows and that's infinite food

visual trail
#

Must take into consideration many factors for farming

glacial cape
#

Think I'm just gonna wait for someone to upload a in depth guide

#

Cause right now it seems like I'm not getting anywhere with my crops, although leeks look like the best option all around

#

Just due to them having the most seasons for growth

visual trail
#

I've planted at the end of March when night temps don't drop anymore below 0 and guess what, no plant died

glacial cape
#

I think spiffo mentioned something about farming to @civic drum but I forgot what it was

visual trail
#

If animals produce food to quick best advice is setting all their options like breedig stat decrease etc to NORMAL in sandbox

keen gorge
#

Nah I think the milk to butter ratio is just too good rn

glacial cape
#

Animals are bugged rn anyways

keen gorge
#

I've experimented with the sandbox there but I'm still ending up with hundreds of butter sticks

my chickens work fine

glacial cape
#

Because a 100kg ewe turns into 0.42kg of meat

keen gorge
#

Oh yeah

#

Animals seem to clone themselves if they mature. That one's not fixed yet

glacial cape
#

The meat to body weight ratio seems off

visual trail
#

also tools

glacial cape
#

I'm at level 5 butchery...

#

Does the butcher tool matter? I've been using a meat cleaver for it

visual trail
#

Knives to be more accurate, sharpened

#

use a large knife well sharpened

#

also have a fleshing tool at hand

glacial cape
#

I'd love to give that a shot but all my animals are pregnant rn lol
