Did they add teleporting zombies into the update? Because several times zombies appear outside my window or around corners that I am essentially certain weren’t there before

True, but I feel like normally I’d be able to tell they’re coming and stuff though. No noise, no footsteps, nothing until they fall thru my window

[pliant rain]

I've found like 10 clays just by wandering around while foraging, can find them in vegetation and forests and even roads, somehow

[spare breach]

that's it, im gonna cheat and give myself a stone chisel via debug or smth because knapping SUCKS to level up even when you start out with the first lvl and the chisel recipe is locked behind reading a magazine apparently

without either a stone chisel or a mason's chisel you literally cannot make your first blacksmithing anvil

wish a metalworking chisel and the carpentry chisel worked for it too

a chisel is a chisel, idc

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah Im not a craftsman myself but is there a need to have three different categories of chisel?

[spare breach]

it wouldnt be so bad if the chisels were interchangeable with recipes

[vocal sentinel]

Anyone got any guess when you think b42 multiplayer is gonna come out

[spare breach]

but they could make it so for example a stone chisel loses less durability when its being used for stone related shenanigans

idk theres so many different ways they could go about this and they choose the most frustrating and restrictive one

[spare breach]

6 months

[vague trench]

okay lol thanks ill try looking theres

[umbral raven]

Is chickens multiplying in the hundreds overnight (they were all female and moved to new coops today) a known issue?... easiest way to delete a load of these? Cripples my FPS as you'd imagine

[frozen wyvern]

THE CHICKENPOCALYPSE IS STILL UPON US

My reccomendation?
Get the car, its time for roadkill

[vague trench]

LMAO

[vague trench]

let me see if theres anything in debug lol hang on

[real fox]

did you update the game, latest patch ( should ) have fixed this

if you did.....

[frozen wyvern]

you can login to debug and remove all , but i dont know how big the radius is

[real fox]

#1320191158319579197 message

found this might be due to not applying to new saves?

[frozen wyvern]

How would that not apply to new saves? Weird

[umbral raven]

Nah i'm on the latest

[vague trench]

yah could be too i always try and make a new save after big hotfixes on unstable lol

[real fox]

im not sure the validity of that persons statement but maybe its true i cant really tes thatanymore ahah last character died

[umbral raven]

That worked - i had to quickly run remove all before my game crashed, took a few attempts. Hoping it's not removed all animals across the whole map

[vague trench]

yeah hopefully it only does it in a cell thingier lol

[umbral raven]

Looks like that's the case

[vague trench]

just a cell ?

[umbral raven]

definitely something a bit broken..

Not sure if it's just a cell, but animals in a nearby farm weren't removed

[vague trench]

noice

[umbral raven]

Cheers for your help

[vague trench]

[pallid hinge]

Yea remove animals does only the loaded cell. Which is nice to know - I need to do that for my game lol

[vague trench]

yay lol

[frozen wyvern]

How do i make stone bricks instead of clay bricks?

Also I was able to smelt a single roasting pan like 50 times for iron

[spare breach]

i am now officially blacksmithing

[vague trench]

lol wait what

[ornate laurel]

Sounds related to the Infinite butchering glitch?

[frozen wyvern]

One sec let me try to upload the video

[ornate laurel]

Do you have a Crucible?

[spare breach]

nop about to make one lol

well
i have to lvl pottery to 1 but it should be easy, i have lots of clay

already have the press and wheel built ontop of the hut

[thick laurel]

Do we have horses in B42

[ornate laurel]

Don't need a Press

[spare breach]

i have it anyway

it seemed appropriate to build it along with the wheel

Hope you enjoy this recording in a recording since steam replay is borked

Also honorable mention: demon pig

[versed dagger]

[spare breach]

did you build all that stuff yourself

[frozen wyvern]

Pretty much, The advanced kiln was kiiiiinda cheesed since I installed a mod to make a crafting recipe for clay since foraging for it was taking literal eons

But other than that I made everything

[spare breach]

thats the one iw as curious about the most :p

[frozen wyvern]

Clay is the biggest bottleneck, other than that its not so bad

It is very, very unpolished atm tho

[spare breach]

clay really isnt that difficult to find compared to some much needed materials (long sticks ahem)

then again, im already at foraging 5 so its not too much of a problem to find most stuff

[frozen wyvern]

I find long sticks more when Im out searching for clay lol

[spare breach]

crazy

it just sucks cause i wouldve expected more items to be usable as spear handles

limiting it to only long sticks really gatekeeps it

[frozen wyvern]

Also when I fired an unfired large ceramic curcible in the kiln in produced a small fired ceramic crucible the first time, but not the second

[spare breach]

why not make a spear out of iron rods?

tape a stone blade to the top, boom, youve got a stone spear with a iron handle

i really jsut hope they'll have more recipes that improve on the flexibility of crafting later

[frozen wyvern]

They will

Right now we're just seeing a base for whats to come

I have good hopes

[ornate laurel]

because hitting stuff with a solid piece of metal hurts the fuck out of your hands

no bending action is scuffed

[frozen wyvern]

Wait one sec need to see smth

a firm long wooden stick is going to hurt similarly to anything else thats firm

i remember being a kid and finding some really HARD pieces of wood and smacking it against a hard surface, it always hurt

maybe if youmade a duct tape grip to dampen the vibrations or something it wouldnt be as bad but either way this is a moot argument

[vague trench]

lmao

[spare breach]

smell that? that is the smell of p r o g r e s s

though why the recipe requirements for the primitive and advanced kiln are the same is beyond me

[viscid belfry]

Do chickies eat cut grass ?

[frozen wyvern]

Growing pains haha

There is 0 reason to make a primitive kiln rn lol

[vague trench]

shit i hope so lol

[viscid belfry]

Just trying to keep hem alive

[spare breach]

bro give them water

[vague trench]

lol , i think they do eat grass cause i found some clipping in chicken pens

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah I built some troughs and put cut grass in them

[real fox]

any thoughts of clearing out this place

army surplus store near echo creek

[forest shore]

Honestly my preferred method has become running a police or ambulance and slowly leading them away.

[hasty dagger]

is it just me or is not ever possible to delete a preset

[real fox]

SHIEEET

nvm its a pool cube

cue-

[vague trench]

i tink cuase unstable , no idea why i am not able too either, you can just name the preset the same and it will replace it

[vague trench]

i thought it was a machete or something lol

[dry scaffold]

I believe that is the second most densely populated area besides Louisville, good luck

[real fox]

here right?

[hearty pond]

oh, former ekron

and yeah, its sadly stupidly populated

[cunning turtle]

Good luck

[forest shore]

Fixed my save, apparently a few hundred pigs eat a lot of grass

[dry scaffold]

Did the dirt used to be grass??

[forest shore]

Yep.

[dry scaffold]

Now get an AR >:D

[cunning turtle]

That's enough

[hearty pond]

how in the hell did that happen

[forest shore]

The chickenpocalypse bug. Sometimes, for some reason, when animals change life stages they duplicate. There were 4 piglets in that pen - came back to that.

[vague trench]

LOL like irl omg

[frozen wyvern]

Pig mitosis

[vague trench]

we had some wild pigs here when we moved here and god they would tear up the yard and do that lol

was so lame they smelled so bad too lol

[forest shore]

Yea wild pigs are mad destructive. And really invasive in a lot of areas.

[hearty pond]

pigs farms smell awful

the only thing worse is large chicken farms, dear god

[vague trench]

yar i can see that when i first moved to tx i was like why is there bounties for pigs lol but then experienced that first hand they were so aggravating

[dry scaffold]

PZ should have feral hogs, to really bring home the wilderness experience. Nothing like a hog trying to gore you

[vague trench]

lol fart farms

[vague trench]

yea and tear up everything in your garden adn yard just to pig bath lol

[vague trench]

making a dent

[real fox]

rather do this then guns unlimited

way more open space

[forest shore]

I wonder how campfires + noise makers would work

[forest shore]

Pssssssh it'd be okay.

[hearty pond]

do cows require the same breed to reproduce or can i mix em?

[vague trench]

can anyone else change these earf balls light bulbs when they burn out?

[vague trench]

yar i think i seen someone reported it somewhere too , scary place lol

was just there and it was like the opposite for me where i could see and it wouldnt go away then what you see in that pic

[magic tree]

steam deck full support any idea when??

[tulip shard]

nope

[frozen wyvern]

Controller support should be out... sometime soon-ish? Nobody knows

[real fox]

we clearing this bitch out

[frozen wyvern]

For now just use keyboard and mouse

[tulip shard]

yea probably when the devs come back from their vacations

[frozen wyvern]

Well controller support is harder than it looks so it might be a while

[tulip shard]

true

[magic tree]

😦 I'm traveling I can't have a good set up. I actually played a lot with SD Zomboid everythings great except for the part when I tried buidling. the building can't seem to be moved by inputs from controller

[frozen wyvern]

Sorry its prob best to stick with 41 for now on the Deck

[vague trench]

how did this fertilze lol

[sturdy wren]

There was no thursdoid?

[vague trench]

it was on my rug

[frozen wyvern]

Its the day after christmas so I wouldnt expect a blog

[sturdy wren]

i dont want a lot for christmas

Yeah i think tis is on vacation

[cunning turtle]

They deserve it

[hallow adder]

I think they said the Thursdoid is the Build 42 release blog post.

Which is this discussion thread here.

[vague trench]

Lol I started a run of Last Stand Accumulator and whenever you buy "6 Shotgum Ammo" it only gives you one shell

[vague trench]

LOL

[hallow adder]

Already reported on the official forum. Waiting for the devs (QA) to see that thread after the holidays, which is around the beginning of January.

[frozen wyvern]

I think that gamemode has a lot of potential, hope they develop it further down the line

[vague trench]

yah that would be fun to play with friends

[frozen wyvern]

It would be really fun with friends

Haha exactly

[vague trench]

lol

[sturdy wren]

the WHAT

I can't wait for that along with no civilization

[real fox]

almost done

ive probably killed maybe 300 so far

[forest shore]

Average weight is supposed to be 70-80 right?

[sturdy wren]

Getting clay is so tedious

[forest shore]

Ohh its 76-84. Oops.

[frozen wyvern]

Yup

[forest shore]

I downloaded a mod. I can't tolerate the default method. Especially since growing up in kentucky you can literally dig clay in your backyard.

[frozen wyvern]

I just installed a mod that lets yoy craft clay with dirt and water lol

[forest shore]

Good mod. It's what I did lmfao

He did patch it now though so it shows up though? That's good.

nom nom nom

[frozen wyvern]

Yum 🤤

I'm going insane from the fact that i now need a HOSE to steal gasoline

[hidden horizon]

[velvet egret]

no

[hidden horizon]

Dad?

[real fox]

LOL???

[velvet egret]

he’s still at the store

[real fox]

i guess the good thing i got is like 9 boxes of 9mm ammo and some other ammo for guns i dont have yet

and i got military backpack which essential cause i got disorganized perk

[forest shore]

I'm too much of a packrat - organized is an essential perk for me.

I'm noticing that my pigs are always stressed - maybe their pen size is too small?

[real fox]

its bad lmfao

[severe egret]

Pretty lightweight and pretty common. Since there's multi tools now i don't mind another addition the to pack

Making something a 2 step process is like the easiest way to nerf it if its OP

[forest shore]

I'm actually glad they made it required to siphon gas

[severe egret]

Fr it felt a little too easy to siphon before. Nice to have another requirement

[forest shore]

I am hoping that fuel types will be a new addition in the future too. Maybe some diesel vehicles, and being able to make biofuel.

[severe egret]

Oh damn, like the distinction between diesel and unleaded? Haha thatd take getting used to

I wonder how hard that'd be to mod in

[real fox]

how infested is fallas lake?

[dusky sand]

I wish the common sense mod was implemented. Let crowbars pry open doors or give burglars lockpicks. Throw us sneakthieves a bone and let us open locked doors quietly 😦

[frozen wyvern]

Theres a chance that sort of functionality will be implemented

A ton of mods Ive used were added into the base game it seems

[severe egret]

I was under the impression that one of the modders that made the best lockpicking mods was hired, so defs disappointed its not vanilla yet

[frozen wyvern]

Lockpicking would go great with the new stealth system

[hallow sail]

can you make cheese?

[sturdy wren]

Does the update bring much unless you're like really good at the game

[hallow sail]

of course

[sturdy wren]

So far i haven't seen anything gameplay wise except shooting which need to be good at the game to use without fucking dying anyway and now you need a hose to siphon gasoline which is horrible because i have no idea how to get one

[hallow sail]

the hose can typically be found at the gas stations

[sturdy wren]

Are gas stations not typically flooding with zombies

[hallow sail]

no

[frozen wyvern]

Ive found a ton of rubber hoses in sheds and garages

[sturdy wren]

last i remember i tried to get gasoline and there was the biggest horde I've seen before i died

[knotty yew]

a hose can be found in garages, sheds, warehouses, gas stations, or in some random utility closet

[sturdy wren]

don't really see a lot of garages and sheds

[hidden horizon]

Nah he is in another country hiding from the law

Sucks

[hallow sail]

how does this make sense? how is a milkable cow not pregnant?

[knotty yew]

well, try to think about it a bit if you don't know where a garage or shed might be

[sturdy wren]

In urban areas

My brain shrimply can't comprehend the idea of thinking where i loot

Also inventory size

Need to find some backpack or intermediate base spot to haul stuff to

[real fox]

almost at full erosion

[hallow sail]

my world looks rather similar

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah erosion still happens way too quickly lol

[hallow sail]

agreeed

[frozen wyvern]

It needs to take like 3x as long

Ive seen a 'Happy' moodle floating its way around, how do you get it and what does it do?

[forest shore]

I don't think it's used currently.

[glacial cape]

Imagine what'll be like when TIS does their own take on the 10 years later challenge

[frozen wyvern]

They already have a video of what it will look like in a blog post, which one I cant remember

[hasty dagger]

I found zombies covered in armor

[real fox]

lets gooooooo

[glacial cape]

Yeah ik that's why I mentioned that

[hasty dagger]

when I did a six month later game

[real fox]

also im using this mod if anyone is interested in why one of my traits changed https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3388017161&searchtext=

[glacial cape]

Ah nice one, you do eventually reach a point in vanilla if you've survived long enough you gain some level of being desensitized but that's anice one I like traits which shift dynamically

[real fox]

sadly not

oh wait mod wise? yes

[glacial cape]

idk if the dev eventually do want to have dynamic traits, but I do remember seeing something about affinities?

[frozen wyvern]

You do essentially become desensitized with how fast panic reduction gets the longer you survived

[real fox]

let me actually check my brain might not work

LMFAO WAIT

[glacial cape]

Yeah instead of becoming panic from 2-3 zombies at the start it eventually reaches a threshold of 10-20 if you've survived long enough

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/waah-waa-sad-wah-waaah-gif-25875771

[real fox]

oops no yah ur right

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah it never goes away but at that point its hard to reach full panic

And if youre facing massive hordes you prob already have beta blockers

Just found two full durability crowbars 🤤

Oh wow houses that are near tons of zombies really do have way more loot

[glacial cape]

Nice have you seen the gray crowbars yet?

[frozen wyvern]

Theyre cool but nothing beats blue crowbar my beloved

[glacial cape]

Nah we need a red one

https://tenor.com/view/gordon-freeman-gif-5409179477895956120

[frozen wyvern]

There was a mod I liked called paintable crowbars

[glacial cape]

yh I've used a half life crowbar mod before

[woven beacon]

I hate how the pc moves in b42

such slow turn rate

I got into that silly turn rate bug and got bit, gonna have to load up debug 😂

[real fox]

half life 3 when

[glacial cape]

never

[frozen wyvern]

What are funnels used for?

[ornate laurel]

Filling non-gas cans with water IIRC?

Might he wrong

they got seeds for 'em, this is awesome plant

[frozen wyvern]

Friendship ended with cabbages, now sweet potatoes are my best friend

Infinite food has been discovered

Why am I finding so many item dupe glitches 😭

[glacial cape]

Best part is those chickens will still not have enough calories to sate your weight

[frozen wyvern]

I know, she keeps losing weight so I need to force feed butter

[cunning turtle]

Claps

[real fox]

So I cleared maybe 300 or so Zs at guns unlimited , slowly making progress

Any thoughts on how many zombies could be there on high population?

[frozen wyvern]

Unlimited zombies

[ember elbow]

does anyone know what search focus Clay is under?

[frozen wyvern]

Stones I think?

[ember elbow]

i figure it's Stone but wondering if anyone actually looked into codebase itself for what it's classified as

[glad pawn]

have you updated uet? this has been patched already

[frozen wyvern]

Im on 42.0.2

[glacial cape]

Does anyone know where to find the webbing to attach flashlights to your chest?

[forest shore]

Yea it seems, for some reason, a few fixes are only working on new saves.

[forest shore]

I think you might be able to find them at surprlus stores.. But your best bet is military zombies.

[glacial cape]

Idk if I wanna risk LV military checkpoint 💀

guess I can hit doe valley

[forest shore]

There's a few spots around the map you can find them besides the LV checkpoint.

[magic tree]

has anybody tried building stuff? the building doesn't seem to follow my cursor

[glacial cape]

or I can try the smaller military check point & military homes idk how badly populated they are though

guess it could be worth checking in debug mode

[forest shore]

You really only need to get one military zed and you'd be good.

[glacial cape]

Yeah there's probably some at the smaller military checkpoint

[real fox]

im mad

so many of them

[waxen oar]

ow there is way more on the inside of the building

[real fox]

i know haha xD its gonna take maybe two weeks

[cunning turtle]

What about Louisville check point

[frozen wyvern]

Unlimited zombies plus 2 more

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[lethal wolf]

Another day, another fight against dwindling food situation

Fishing and foraging clearly do not work (skill levels of 2 and 4), so have to resort to looting while I try to build a camp site where I can herd pigs for longer lasting food

[flat phoenix]

I haven’t tried fishing yet, but the mini game looks fun

[lethal wolf]

It kind of can be, its not hard, and I think you definitely need bait to get any fish

I can easily tell if I'm about to catch trash, or a live fish as the trash doesn't really fight back, while fish definitely does. But yet to discover how to get actual bigger fish, as I really need those -100 hunger chonkers to survive, not the -7 types. Spearfishing has been intentionally removed (according to reddit), so bait hoarding is also a "new" problem. Maggots from zed corpses work, however.

[cunning turtle]

Saradain looks like a mathematician

[lethal wolf]

I know that when my hunger level is +100, -7 fish doesn't cut it

I cannot use the tiny fish as bait either, it has to specifically be called "small bait fish" or whatever it was in B41

[cunning turtle]

I don't remember B41 no more

[lethal wolf]

Also, with all due respect, whoever came up with the idea that only long sticks can be made into spears, I most politely slap you with a white glove to indicate a challenge to a duel.

I very rarely seem to get them as foraging loot with Firewood as focus, skill level 4. And saplings are not easy to find at all in the beginning months as new trees are not popping.

However, I recognize the idea that as time passes, you start running out of looted weapons, and regrowth of forests will be the renewable salvation. But to make the bold claim that no saplings simply exist on day 1, as if time only started flowing after you begin the game, is...funny!

[visual trail]

Best way to get saplings from what I've experienced is by cutting trees

There is a better chance it will drop sapling than through the foraging system

[lethal wolf]

Yeah I got my only long stick that way. And it took me 3 weeks to find a single axe.

McCoy Logging Company, surprisingly has no axes whatsoever.

[visual trail]

If you find an axe you will.never have to search for another again

I found a hatchet lodged in a zed and have been using that since

[lethal wolf]

I have a fire axe. Explain. Low chance of durability loss? Or some other trick to maintain it forever?

[lethal wolf]

PS. Rosewood Fire Department also had 0 axes for me.

[visual trail]

It simply doesn't loose condition on the head or handle

or sharpness

[glacial cape]

How far into your run did you loot the fire department?

[cunning turtle]

Can relate

[visual trail]

I've chopped entire forests and it's just like new

[lethal wolf]

I spawned in the rich houses in Rosewood, literally as neighbour to the Fire Department fence.

[glacial cape]

Because I believe there's a setting that when you're late into a run loot degrades and locations like the fire department etc will have less loot or it'd be scattered on the ground

[severe prawn]

[visual trail]

yeah they have introduced the time decrease loot mechanic

[lethal wolf]

McCoy warehouses had this weird event in one of them, shit tons of planks and some saws on the ground that I never saw happening before.

[glacial cape]

Oh fr? That might be because of the changes to the loot pools with new items or the spawns have been tweaked

[visual trail]

It's a looted house, that's why there is no good loot

[lethal wolf]

I use Extremely Rare loot setting, between default Rare and Insanely Rare

[visual trail]

careful rare setting is way more hard now

it's like 0.6 loot multiplier

[glacial cape]

Yeah there seems to be less loot now my first run had extremely rare and it felt like insanely rare

[lethal wolf]

I've noticed, although first run had 2 sledges on a road xD

[glacial cape]

I've not found a single sledge so I just made my own

[visual trail]

always check the advanced tab

[glacial cape]

Took a lot of maintenance leveling hunting for a axe to take the head & carving leveling

[lethal wolf]

Well, I'm glad I get to truly test the wilderness life of having to make tools myself for the axe part of the toolsphere.

[flat phoenix]

having bait would definitely be essential to catching fish

[visual trail]

that's my frustration you need maintenance level to take apart some weapons

[flat phoenix]

Tackles could work I guess but bait always better

[glacial cape]

I mean I kinda get why it's under maintenance

But they also made maintenance xp slower so it's more frustrating

[lethal wolf]

I'm just not used to fish being smart, my irl bunnies will run to my empty hand if I just make a certain motion they assume is food offering, or if my wife calls them for snacks, they run to ME instead. Fish are smarter than rabbits. fml

[visual trail]

I have like 3-4 in fishing and I've fought a fkin 20 kg catfish for like 15 mins or so

[lethal wolf]

But why remove spearfishing is my question, if primitive survival is the core theme atm

[visual trail]

Bc you can make a primitive rod now

that spear fishing was such an exploit

[lethal wolf]

Yes but its not the same. It uses luring instead of raw primal strenght!

[visual trail]

You know that spear fishing was a technique very hard to master IRL, people preferred to use makeshift nets instead of spears

[lethal wolf]

Spearfishing joins bicycles in the club of trivializing an apocalypse in games and TV series. Makes things easier, even if its perfectly logical and realistic!

But yes, I agree spearfishing aint easy

I just am such a stubborn thing when game devs leave out perfectly logical things because it makes their games easier, in a game where realism starts to become more relevant

[visual trail]

It needs a little tunning cauz like I've said I fought for like 15 mins a stupid 20 pounds of fish

And another time with little to no effort I was able to reel in a huge monster of 90 kg

it didn't feel right

[lethal wolf]

I do catch a LOT of broken fishing net traps as trash loot, you used to be able to fix them with wire before, probably still could if I had the recipe. Also another gripe of mine, if a recipe simply does not spawn, it means I can never learn the thing. While in reality, when humanity invented things, they didn't read it from a book lol

[visual trail]

recipes have auto learn now

not all I believe but the majority do

And probably they will expand it to all know schematics / recipes

[lethal wolf]

Yeah, thats the problem. It'd be more of a suggestion when I say it would cool if we could learn recipe-based things without recipes, by repetitive training. Like car mechanics. I can never fix my SUV because the manual doesn't seem to spawn at all for me atm.

Or at least I'd love if RNG didn't decide what I can do in a playthrough, forever

[visual trail]

yeah mechanics is still locked behind those Laines magz

[lethal wolf]

Hell it can take a long time to master a recipe-taught action for all I care, but being locked out forever is just meh

[visual trail]

I hope it will get attention

cauz it's really frustrating having to install and uninstall the same lightbulbs over and over again

[lethal wolf]

PZ devs should play My Summer Car, it is very reality based on how finnish youth spent their summers in the 90s when internet wasn't a common thing. You learned to build a car by shit tons of beer, sausages and sheer will to build yourself a cheap hunk of metal!

[visual trail]

Or a post apocalyptic mad max type of vehicle

some form of transportation made from scratch and metal stuff in an apocalyptic world

[cunning turtle]

post apocalypse

[real fox]

i just lost a shit ton of xp from being a pound underweight, i gained it back but still ost the xp , i know your supposed to get -1 fitness but i thought you used to be able to get that back? my bad if im wrong

[lethal wolf]

Well, early access PZ is early access, I don't even know if devs ever take feedback from random comments as they are harder to find in a moving thread. But maybe they sometimes read these and take it as feedback!

[cunning turtle]

F

[real fox]

im no longer underweight but no xp gained back kek

[cunning turtle]

Exactly

[lethal wolf]

I did not ever think you would lose a fitness level post-starting the game

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[visual trail]

They have we complained about a recipe in carving requiring maintenance 5 instead of 1 and they solved it

[lethal wolf]

last time I checked fitness loss would be only from trait selection

[cunning turtle]

I did that in b41 and happened the same to me

[real fox]

shieeeeet

[lethal wolf]

Well shit, I better start killing all animals and get their lard

[cunning turtle]

Type shit

[lethal wolf]

I ain't losing my fitness when I started with low fitness to begin with!

[real fox]

you get -1 fitness if your underweight, you gain that point back, but loose ALL exp you had beforehand when you gain it back now

intended feature or not unsure, id have to look into it

[lethal wolf]

Well that sounds better than losing a level permanently each time you cross the over/underweight threshold

[visual trail]

well it looks like we now have to weight manage a little more than before

[real fox]

probably my last haul here , gotta get 2 more guns inside and then ill be happy

i found 0 shotguns, but i did find like 7 rifles which, damn, was so worth killing all those zombies given how fucking RARE guns seems to be rn

[fluid panther]

guys when 42 build?

[velvet egret]

!build42

[sacred bison]

Build 42 Unstable is out NOW!

• Those who play Unstable must be aware that they're playing a
  work in progress.
• This Unstable exists so we can collect player feedback to find bugs
  and improve our game. Some key features, primarily multiplayer,
  are initially disabled - they will be re-enabled later.
• There will be bugs and annoyances, and game balance will likely be way from perfect, particularly with the zombie distribution and combat changes. Please do not get upset, get involved instead, and we'll get it there together.
• Build 41 saves and mods are NOT compatible with Build 42.
• Your saves may break after Unstable updates.

https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2024/12/build-42-unstable/

We're aware people have built up a lot of anticipation for the first unstable release, and have done our best to make it an enjoyable experience out the gate. But as those who were present for the first b41 unstable release will attest, it's in unstable for a reason, so please be understanding and constructive if you come across issues.

HOW TO PLAY?
The Unstable branch is now accessible to anyone who plays Project Zomboid.
Right click Project Zomboid in your Steam library and hit "Properties".
Then, navigate to the betas tab and select the "Unstable" branch from the dropdown menu.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1235608500013629450/1318656262686117918/unstable.gif

There's a general but non-exhaustive overview of what Build 42 is adding here:

https://projectzomboid.com/blog/upcoming-features-b42/

[lethal wolf]

!build43

[real fox]

im loaded rn with ammo and guns >:3

my goal right now is to find a shotgun as im not sure about using rifles at aim lvl 2 rn

[lethal wolf]

wish I had any hunting rifle that isnt worn

[vague trench]

Lmao gun factory 5900

[real fox]

i found like 7 rifles at guns unlimited if you got the chest hair

took me HOURS but it was so fucking worth it, mind you i only cleared the first two sections of the building lmfao im too afraid to do more as i dont wanna be greedy and die

[cunning turtle]

Blud knows her limits

[severe egret]

No

[cunning turtle]

No

[lament crow]

how'd you get that much firepower

and what are ur loot settings

[real fox]

Rare

I also raided guns unlimited, the army surplus, and cleared all off echo creek

[lament crow]

ah, see i think rare and below are like common theres a lot of loot around lol

i put mine at exremely rare to simulate an actual apocaylse but i might have to turn guns up in the future

[real fox]

I think I might do a that if this character dies

Turn things to extremely rare but keep guns rare

Because finding guns have been HARD , the only time I’ve gotten guns is places INFESTED with hundreds of zeds due to loot being tied to zombies spawn

[lethal wolf]

If my sole hunting rifle breaks, my only way of hunting deer will be ramming a car into them. I found out my SUV is faster than the deer!

[soft viper]

It's also wider

[lethal wolf]

but how often deer appear on roads in the game, that be the tricky part...

[soft viper]

Genuinely? there's certain parts of the map where they just show up all the time

Like the road from echo creek to the chicken farm I've found has frequent deer patrols

[lethal wolf]

I had a family of deer crossing the gravel path to Deerhead Lake, didnt wanna ruin my SUV yet

[real fox]

Roadkill 😼

[lethal wolf]

Those who have hunted deer in game, how did you get them to your base on a butcher's hook? I assume you can't really drive a car where they are...

and I assume you cannot drag them same way you can do with zombies

[soft viper]

I shot a deer and left it there because my one knife broke 3 minutes earlier

[lethal wolf]

...that's not really an answer! But funny nonetheless. I imagine I have to become Elmer from Bugs Bunny one day, to hunt with double-barrel shotgun or chasing deer with an axe in hand at this loot rarity setting

[silk nova]

hey but the molotovs have been removed on purpose or is just a bug?

[cunning turtle]

[severe prawn]

Oh god

What a piece of art...

[lament crow]

damn thats a thing?

i always wished that having a locked off armoury would guarantee a lot of guns but never did i think it was already a feature in zomboid

[real fox]

In b42 yes but it’s togable in sandbox

Basically a area filled will zombies is likely to have very good loot than a area with very little zombies

In theory liousville should be loaded in b42

[regal spindle]

eyyy retanaru talkin bout b42 guns

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etf2-oBOsEI

[cunning turtle]

[regal spindle]

I've yet to discover my EBS frequency on my run

[raw parcel]

head will impact the hood or ground in many cases, leading to fatal spinal or head injuries

At 60kph you die in half the cases, is what i hear a lot

though the topic is hotly debated, its not exactly easy to verify speed in accidents

[glacial cape]

I still don't know about aiming in build 42 even though it's cool and all you just don't find enough ammo for what it's worth, compared to melee weapons

Even with muscle strain which can affect guns as well it just feels like guns are even more of an noise maker as before

[regal spindle]

if you intend to use guns a lot it's probably worth cranking up the ammo spawnrate I suppose

[glacial cape]

Only use case I could see honestly is tackling the lv checkpoint or something

[regal spindle]

mind you I don't intend to use the new vanilla gun system much since atro updated lmao

[glacial cape]

Me neither

the difference between 30 and 40 mph is wild

[real fox]

almost at 2k kills >:D my goal rn is to determine new base and food source

[cunning turtle]

[severe prawn]

Yaaay

[ornate parcel]

Is it just me or is the endurance drain insane when dragging bodies?

[cunning turtle]

Like irl

[sturdy wren]

i honestly cant believe i fell asleep playing zomboid

[ornate parcel]

It's really not hard, there are a lot of highly effective 1 man drag techniques

[cunning turtle]

How do you know

[cunning turtle]

Claps

[sturdy wren]

this is what binge reading books does to a man

anyway i starved to death

[ornate parcel]

Through my work, I've dragged a few unconscious people out of industrial production facilities in past evacuations for various reasons

If you keep them up high and close to you, making the feet the only point of friction, it's surprisingly easy (assuming you have the technique and strength to apply it)

[woven beacon]

I think thats turned off by default though for apocalypse

Imo should be turned on with how many are at gun ranges and shit

[umbral raven]

Has anyone made a list or spreadsheet of all the crops growing seasons? Looking through the list ingame is unintuitive as fuck

[real fox]

here you go buddy https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1hkizjs/so_i_made_a_farming_spreadsheet/

[umbral raven]

Legend, thank you

[cunning turtle]

Makes sense

[sturdy wren]

im finding it hard to believe that nobody in 4 houses and a gardening store has no pens or pencils or anything of the kind

also muscle strain is absolutely busted

i jumped over a fence once and my arms are basically on fire

[real fox]

what settings are you playing on, survival, apoc, or sandbox?

[sturdy wren]

apoc default

[cunning turtle]

Like irl

[regal spindle]

a limp human body is remarkably difficult to move around and manipulate, they need to add the ability to make them more portable via dismemberment, clearly

[ornate parcel]

car crashes do so much damage now 💀

got blessed with a glass-lodged deep wound

[hazy seal]

[sturdy wren]

i'm enjoying the more even zombie population distribution

[glacial cape]

Why is doe valley even like this 💀

that's the 3rd giant horde I've seen

[sturdy wren]

at times it kinda feels like they've removed half the zombies from the game though

[glacial cape]

default apoc pop btw

[keen gorge]

It only looks big

[real fox]

spookers

[sturdy wren]

and zombies are a lot slower until they're very close to you

[keen gorge]

You can clear Doe Valley in a day

[real fox]

im at max erosion now in my world

[glacial cape]

Idk about that one

[cunning turtle]

Did you have a lot of stuff in your inventory

[cunning turtle]

How

[keen gorge]

I do. I do it all the time. The military surplus store is always the first place I got to in new playthroughs

[glacial cape]

should mention I'm at peak population

[real fox]

it took me maybe 3 days to clear half of surplus on high pop, but thats cause im still semi new

[keen gorge]

Drag them around. They're stupid

[cunning turtle]

Makes sense

[cunning turtle]

You can do that or just draw them all in other direction

[real fox]

i need the exp points low key

[cunning turtle]

Type shit

[real fox]

btw can i listen to cds in some cars?

[cunning turtle]

What about Louisville check point

[keen gorge]

2-3 days to do it safely if I don't decide to just burn it

[cunning turtle]

Makes sense

[real fox]

RAHHHHH

lore go crazy

[cunning turtle]

Pat lore

[real fox]

pat???

[keen gorge]

PZ writer

[real fox]

ah ok

[keen gorge]

I dunno about old lore but he's supposedly in charge of all the new literature

[real fox]

whats early acess music 🤔

[sturdy wren]

what does looking at pictures do

[cunning turtle]

Ask the same question irl

[keen gorge]

Nothing

I dunno if there are any special photographs but most just do nothing

[sturdy wren]

oh wow they added a diary

[cunning turtle]

Try it

[glacial cape]

Yeah ik just it's insane the pop feels like I'm on insane 4x pop which I'm used to playing on b41

I can clear it it's just gonna take some time

Not even doing it for the guns & ammo either I want the military webbing for my flashlight my goals are all outta wack

[umbral raven]

The amount of different varients of "long metal pole" and "long wooden pole" needs to be simplified

[real fox]

new base, has a well too

[cunning turtle]

Can relate

[real fox]

might be short term till i find something else closer to a city

[glacial cape]

"Really long stick"

[cunning turtle]

What's your goal

[real fox]

a few things ```
I WANT TO FIND A FUCKING SHOTGUN
FIND FOOD
FIND PLACE TO GROW FOOD
FIND A PLACE NEAR BIG CITY BUT MOSTLY REMOTE TO LIMIT CLEARING Zs
FIND A OPEN FIELD TO GAIN AIM EXPERIENCE AND NOT DIE LOL

[glacial cape]

It's blank

[real fox]

lemme edit

[umbral raven]

It's a bit stupid, "Long Handle" "Wooden Rod" "Long Stick" Should all be the same item but interchangeable in recipes

[glacial cape]

idk if someone has already addressed the issue with it in the fourms but if they haven't I'd suggest that cause now that i think about it yeah it is kinda dumb

try to be constructive though

[umbral raven]

and the fact i need to find the specific "Steel rod" to be able to barricade windows with, when i've got a warehouse full of "Steel bars" (or whatever, it's that convoluted i cant even remember the right ones) is just ridiculous

[keen gorge]

There finally is an interactive B42 map site

https://b42map.com/

[cunning turtle]

Good luck with that, maybe you can get a shotgun in a police station

[cunning turtle]

Claps

[keen gorge]

No more finagling around at local files for worldmap.png

[real fox]

i notice they spawn there way more then any place, mostly on zombies

[real fox]

thank god haha

[cunning turtle]

Blud is stressed

[real fox]

it wont load for me :C

[cunning turtle]

Yeah

[keen gorge]

It's loading for me

[real fox]

maybe its my dns or firewall being weird ill check

[keen gorge]

Maybe a browser issue

[real fox]

yeee that too

[visual trail]

gold, thanks

if you're running AdBlock it will disable some features

[ornate parcel]

finally, at last

[cunning turtle]

What a nice hat

[glacial cape]

Oh is that why I couldn't jump between different poi's or why they weren't marked with a blue circle

[ornate parcel]

how do you see POIs 💀

for me it's just a map, no markers

[cunning turtle]

[glacial cape]

Same I was thinking it mightve been the adblock since @visual trail mentioned it disables some features

[ornate parcel]

disabling mine didn't change anything

[cunning turtle]

[glacial cape]

Unless there is no poi drop down list or blue circles which I wouldn't be surprised about at least we do have a way of viewing the whole map now

[visual trail]

TIP on how to find some crafting materials

Bring a pickaxe with you when. foraging > you will notice some deposits like flint and limestone

Use the pickaxe to mine the deposits

[cunning turtle]

[visual trail]

yeah you can mine minerals with a pickaxe

[glacial cape]

Yup I knew that one pretty cool :)

[blazing coral]

project minecraft

[glacial cape]

Shame there's no iron or option to dig for clay yet with something like a shovel on a river

[visual trail]

Not yet

[glacial cape]

This is how you craft

[visual trail]

But I will try using a spade to dig for clay

[wet timber]

Damn, girl, you might be new but you're playing better than I ever did

[visual trail]

and fyi the shovel can't be used to dig a charcoal pit which is silly....

[glacial cape]

Wonder if they'll up the amount you get from foraging

[visual trail]

you get like 4-5 flints per mined deposit

[real fox]

💀

[visual trail]

which is ok atm

[real fox]

gaming

[glacial cape]

I am confused what am I looking at

[real fox]

hours

[visual trail]

just don't die at the desk

[glacial cape]

Oh sorry I'm smooth brain 💀

The site I provided is not map project btw. I'm not sure if it has the POI feature

But it should suffice till map project gets updated

[sturdy wren]

does nobody own a fucking gas canister or at the very least a plastic bottle?

i've checked like 6 garages and crapton of kitchens

[cunning turtle]

fucking gas canister

[sturdy wren]

i've found a mint condition car but without gas

[real fox]

LMFAO????

[cunning turtle]

Interesting

[native spear]

ah yes the tragic hotdog contest of 93'

Whaaaaat

[cunning turtle]

Spoil the tea

[sturdy wren]

and a really good house with a garage
doesnt have a stove or a microwave

[native spear]

LV has an airport in real life

[cunning turtle]

Makes sense

[keen gorge]

There is a new Louisville airport

You pass by it if you use the other way to enter Louisville

[visual trail]

yeah looks nice from that beta map

2.8kg when filled to the brim with water and items

[keen gorge]

It only has a capacity of 12 last I remember

[spare breach]

just use a canteen

ive found like 3 wearable water accessories at the historical coalfield alone

[real fox]

they need to buff chicken lmfao i dont wanna eat 6 chimken a day to survive

[sturdy wren]

canteens are wearable???????

[keen gorge]

Yeah or like 1 2L bottle. That's enough to last an entire day with some change at high thirst

[spare breach]

chickens have like zero nutritional value rn for some reason
i ate a fuckton of them in one day and still losing weight

[sturdy wren]

i havent found a single bottle this run

[spare breach]

soon i'll be a skelly

[spare breach]

The western camo one that i have is. I also have a leather water bag that is wearable

They're right next to my fanny pack

Both are 1L though, but they generally last me a day as i have made my thirst/hunger 50% slower

[keen gorge]

Now if only backpack attachments is updated, I'll be golden

[spare breach]

it's not as annoying to deal with it that way while still being a concern

[keen gorge]

There should at least be an option to attach bottles to bags

[spare breach]

on normal thirst/hunger settings it seems like your character cant catch a break when it comes to being either thirsty or hungry so thats why ive done that

i hate feeling like i never have any breathing room

[sturdy wren]

i found a zombie identical to the one i killed like 10 minutes ago

[cunning turtle]

That's weird

[tawny orbit]

b42 is growing mod per day

[cunning turtle]

No cap

[tawny orbit]

almost 1k mod

[spare breach]

try not to mod PZ challenge (impossible)

[remote bear]

I genuinely sometimes open just to see how long current sessions go lol you always havemore than +3

[tawny orbit]

why b40 is so low mod than b41?

[spare breach]

because b40 is ancient, isnt it

[real fox]

got so much free time rn and soon i wont

[remote bear]

Because there wasn't much flexibility with mods at the time

[cunning turtle]

Guess

[tawny orbit]

its worst right?

[cunning turtle]

F

[remote bear]

Not worst. Just not as great potential with later mods

[tawny orbit]

ah

they should add tractor or truck

[cunning turtle]

I like ur pfp

[glacial cape]

Oh that's neat the wilderness survival magazine gives you a bunch of recipes (more importantly the whetstone one) & also gives you herbalist

[spare breach]

i want more car varieties first, and post-apo car tuning such as steel plate welding

[tawny orbit]

ye and they need add physic like car get stuck mud, rain can create heavy mud but something offroad vehicle can go

and exhast pipe allow smoking with running engine

[cunning turtle]

Tuning buses

[spare breach]

sir im pretty sure you could just use the thing for lighting cigs that's usually built-in next to the steering wheel

but either way it's not a thing ingame so i agree with you

[tawny orbit]

and leader forgot about AWD, FWD, RWD.

or 4WD

[spare breach]

time to forage for 50 clay so i can build a kiln and also level up pottery

how would one even fight with boredom in the wilderness?

[spare breach]

i'd answer that but my legal team has advised me not to

[remote bear]

found it on ig. I think its the Icelandic volcanoes in the bkg

[sturdy wren]

you can make bread ?!?!?

[spare breach]

gordon ramsay (if he's not dead from the initial outbreak) would be proud

[sturdy wren]

also that's unhappiness not boredom i think

[cunning turtle]

Nice

[ornate laurel]

You need flour (farmed from Rye, Wheat, and Barely) and Yeast (cannot be farmed ) but yes

[spare breach]

if you use seasonings on your foods it removes boredom

[ornate laurel]

Also running into Zomboids removes boredom

[spare breach]

pepper, salt, all kinds of dried herbs

[sturdy wren]

can you make pepper

[cunning turtle]

pepper

[spare breach]

i think most of the seasonings is something you cannot make nor find naturally

[ornate laurel]

there are a couple of herbs you can grow now IIRC

[sturdy wren]

that's a really weird garage door

[cunning turtle]

Yeah

[cunning turtle]

Can you pass through of it

[ornate laurel]

Ah yeah that Bug

[sturdy wren]

also did romero like zombies mean slower zombies

[spare breach]

whats weird is that i can see the insides of buildings when i aim at them ingame

[ornate laurel]

Sometimes 1 of the 4 tiles don't generate properly

[spare breach]

it really irks me. Is that because of the debug nature of the unstable version?

[sturdy wren]

yeah!

[cunning turtle]

[glacial cape]

Tragic

[spare breach]

i always eat stuff when its stale but rotten? naaa i'd die

[glacial cape]

Nah I'd win (dies)

[spare breach]

my cooking's at only 2 i dont think i can even make any use of rotten stuff

[cunning turtle]

[keen gorge]

You can survive eating some stuff you can't before

Like burnt food

[sturdy wren]

i'm seeing a LOT less cars now, did they nerf them?

[spare breach]

youre just unlucky

[sturdy wren]

it always bugged me how a little burnt chicken kill you

[keen gorge]

Now it doesn't

[spare breach]

im seeing more of them in rosewood this build than in B41

[keen gorge]

Doesn't even make you sick anymore it seems, just sad

[sturdy wren]

i saw only one non wreck

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[glacial cape]

Lol mine is level 5 from cooking chicken eggs but I forgot what level you need to cook with rotten food

[spare breach]

i'll probably be fine anyway, can always fish and forage my way through this

foraging is at lvl 5 for me, it's something ive been doing a lot

[sturdy wren]

is sleepiness affected by anything except time?

[spare breach]

probably also the exhaustion moodle and any muscle strain

[sturdy wren]

like metabolism, activity

[keen gorge]

Level 7

[spare breach]

any physical activity tires you out

if you havent noticed, if you do them enough times, you'll get exhausted, and soaked in your own sweat

be it exercising, sawing logs, or just moving around when you're overencumbered

[keen gorge]

Exercise and dismantling is busted

A lot of infinite XP glitches around

[cunning turtle]

Hoodini knows

[keen gorge]

I could reveal it but I'm still testing

[spare breach]

Id rather if you kept it to yourself after testing it thoroughly, and then reported it on the forums and whatnot

though alas, people like all sorts of odd and broken ways to grind xp in this game

[cunning turtle]

[keen gorge]

That is what I'm doing

[spare breach]

I respect you immensely for that

[sturdy wren]

any way to keep a prominent sleep schedule?

[keen gorge]

I reckon all the reports won't be looked at till January

[spare breach]

use an alarm clock and try to be consistent with your character's bedtime

if you have a feeling you already did a lot of physical activity that day, dont exercise etc to wear out your character even further

[sturdy wren]

also the game feels a lot more free in b42 for some reason i cant pinpoint

it's day 5 and i dont have a horde of a hundred chasing me

[glad pawn]

weak stomach moment

[spare breach]

because of the new heat map

unless you go out of your way to raid a big armory or go along a main road in a town then you'll likely be much more better off

im playing on lower than default zombie pop but still, in rosewood i only had to deal with smaller groups of zombies vs the absolutely huge hordes concentrated near the fire station and along the main road

[cunning turtle]

Wait till day 7

[sturdy wren]

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[glacial cape]

YES

[spare breach]

sick

yeah i want webbing too

[glacial cape]

Got lucky with a mili zombie so I didn't even have to clear out the surplus store

still going to do that anyways cause I like the idea of getting a sleeping bag for my backpack

[sturdy wren]

why are all the batteries i find empty?

[spare breach]

bad luck

some of what i find are at like 15% charge but others can go as high as 90-100

[cunning turtle]

[frozen wyvern]

Thats not it actually, there seems to be an oversight where batteries continuously lose charge when in a container

Might be trying to mimic real life battery degredation but it happens waaaaaaaaay too fast

[keen gorge]

I never engaged much with cooking so I'll ask

Does adding ingredients to cooked things uncook it

[glacial cape]

Guess zombies spawn with these now lol

[ornate laurel]

@sturdy wren the way I've noticed the bug "working" is that they lose a lot of charge on loading a save. Unless they're already in a device

[frozen wyvern]

Hmmmm tgat might be it too

[ornate laurel]

I keep some batteries on me and every time I reload they're at 10%

[unborn thorn]

They'll probably fix that soon int othe new year

[spare breach]

can you even do that? Typically when i make soup/stew/stir-frys, i add everything before cooking it

[frozen wyvern]

Haha yeah for now i just collect full flashlights and ignore batteries

[keen gorge]

I dunno if you can in B41 but you can now

[spare breach]

i dont recall ever doing that so i cant help you srry

[frozen wyvern]

Ive never tried that, but doesnt it just not let you add ingredients after its cooked?

Except for seasonings, maybe?

[unborn thorn]

I never really did it but it makes sense you'd be able to add ketchup to a burger after cooking it

I know for a fact you have to cook meat before using it in a taco recipe

Because you can't cook the taco itself

Unless that changed in B42

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah it would make sense to add some ingredients after the fact

[keen gorge]

You can add things even if its burnt lol

[frozen wyvern]

Note how all those items are safe to eat without cooking

[unborn thorn]

Lol they changed the icon for hotdogs. I always found it funny in B41 if you used the whole hotdog. Bun and all into the soup

[glad pawn]

notice how its all done in build 42...

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah...?

You could eat all the ingredients listed on the right without getting sick, ignoring unhappiness

[ornate laurel]

You typically can't add uncooked things to such foodstuffs like Salads

[keen gorge]

Typically

Alright, that's all I needed. Guess its another bug report

[frozen wyvern]

Is it a bug tho?

[ornate laurel]

I guess "stuff that you need to cook" is when things get funky

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/glerm-glorp-cat-erm-gif-116397764024710755

[frozen wyvern]

I mean adding stuff to burnt food is silly but i find thats more 'player being dumb' silly than 'game broke' silly

[keen gorge]

"I wonder if I can unfuck this by adding things" My character's thought process basically

[sturdy wren]

I genuinely did not think we'd get unstable before silksong

[cunning turtle]

Silly very

[sturdy wren]

I like my salad fucking burnt bruh

[cunning turtle]

What

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/the-voices-meme-cat-gif-23917781

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[real fox]

Me when I hear a random noise in game and freak out

[cunning turtle]

It's more Immersive the game now

[keen gorge]

Here's something I know should be a bug

[sturdy wren]

I FORGOT TO PAUSE THE FUCKING GAME WHEN GOING TO EAT

[cunning turtle]

Interesting

[wet timber]

skill issue

[cunning turtle]

[wet timber]

!reportbug

Budget hydration pack

[jade haven]

Interesting post: https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/s/ID8uSJEMe2

[tawny orbit]

trying remember where did i put axe

bro i cant remember already

[mossy tangle]

Which kiln do I need to fire a crucible?

[glad pawn]

that game is either gonna suck, never come out, or be amazing

there isnt any between anymore

[sturdy wren]

silksong can fix me

[spare breach]

it cant suck after all this waiting

[spare breach]

no idea, i figure either kiln would work but they have the same material requirements atm

[sturdy wren]

diy houses are probably fucking peak

[tawny orbit]

bro i cant put big fish or meat which is heavy

fish are 20 already

i tried cut fish and still 20

worst idea

stove should be 40-50

[remote bear]

Think devs are aware of this actually

[glacial cape]

I cannot for the life of me think why they've cut the storage of cooking appliances, the campfire & fanny packs

Just why? Why it's not like their weight was game breaking or anything

[gleaming perch]

Hawk Fuah

[wise snow]

did they change car storage amounts too? I swear I could fit generators in the back of a taxi but i cant tell if im misremembering or not

[lethal wolf]

It is weird I cannot put a bucket into the campfire to purify the contents. It's the friggin' GROUND, the entire planet is too small to localize the bucket on the campfire?

[blazing coral]

either that or they made generators more cumbersome

[lethal wolf]

Valutech Generators are 30 units instead of old 40, can still fit em on a 20 unit bench if its the sole item going there

[glacial cape]

They've changed it so now you have to open the door with the v to fit generators on car seats

[glacial cape]

Is the only difference between the generators weight?

[glacial cape]

I'm hoping that gets reverted because it's annoying idk if it's intentional or not but it feels like it's an arbitrary way to slow down cooking xp grind

[lethal wolf]

I have not yet found any other types of generators but blue Valutech ones, well ok, I found some really weird looking one that looks like its from the 1800s but I didn't test its weight or other features, as I already have 2 gennies

I do not know whether all generators are now 30 units of weight, not 40

[spare breach]

guys, found out theres a quite hidden place on the map that has all the blacksmithing stuff placed within it

it's next to a body of water in the woods

it also has a fishing place and an area used for animals

it seems like pretty much the ideal base

[ornate parcel]

you're talking about the McCoy Estate right?

[spare breach]

idk what its called

it's near westpoint

[civic drum]

Anyone know a way to set up hurricane (or other) lanterns as stationary light objects, rather than only being carried?

[ornate parcel]

this place right?

[spare breach]

that is something i'd like to know as well :(
i dont think they can work as placeable light sources

[spare breach]

Yes

[ornate parcel]

yeah that's McCoy :)

[spare breach]

ok got it

@forest shore o holy Moonclipper, i require your wisdom

would you happen to know what carpentry level do most improvised weapon recipes need to be autolearned?

[glacial cape]

Where is that? Could be a potential spot for my cdda run I plan to do after my current playrhrough

Oh west point

[spare breach]

@glacial cape south of westpoint, then at the crossroads go left

[opaque schooner]

On normal pop it spawns 60-70 zombies there just so yk

[glacial cape]

That's a pretty good damn base location though pretty much got all the crafting essentials you'd need, I can't tell if that's a advanced furnace or not as well

[glacial cape]

Oh fair enough considering how good that looks for prime real estate

[opaque schooner]

Yeah, it’s annoying. But the place is worth it

[ornate parcel]

West Point on the right, McCoy on the left

[glacial cape]

That spot is so good wth

[spare breach]

its amazing how big the map is, isnt it

[glacial cape]

I regret building in my dinky farm but I'll make it work

Eventually I will delve into blacksmithing

[spare breach]

i already established a base at the outskirts of rosewood lmao im not moving now

im loyal to my home

[glacial cape]

Yeah fr I'm on the outskirts of Fallas lake cause I wanted to be closer to the new towns

[civic drum]

Has anyone found any placeable light sources that are not electric or the antique oven?

[lethal wolf]

lanterns?

[spare breach]

have you tested it? If not, i presume it doesnt work

[civic drum]

I've tried placing lanterns but they just go dark as soon as they leave my inventory and I get no right click menu to turn them on, only grab them.

[lethal wolf]

meh, I guess I'll have to try, too

[vague trench]

yah im not sure how light works like that for pz i remember having some mod long time ago tha that had glowsticks and it would only emit light when holding it, would be awesome though

[civic drum]

I think there was a mod that you could convert them into furniture placeable objects.

[glacial cape]

I imagine they work like flashlights

except they take a different fuel/energy source

[mossy tangle]

Is there any other tool that works in place of a masons trowel for the kiln? If not any tips on finding one?

[forest shore]

They start at level 5, up to level 8.

[static heart]

I don't think so

[lethal wolf]

What in the shit is this building, lags my game to below 30 FPS

[elder wasp]

Does cooler work now in b42? I used to use a mod for b41 for it and it required cold packs etc

[spare breach]

gotcha, ty

[vague trench]

lol yea its waverly

does it to me too goes from 200fps down to 12

[frozen wyvern]

Oh man does it have a lot of 3D models inside?

[vague trench]

i think its the amount of zombies because i went tehre with zombies off and had no fps lag

[lethal wolf]

great, I got quick look while my loud near-broken engine lured the thousand zeds inside to fall from windows and shit

looked like a mental hospital, a lot of small rooms with 1 bed

[frozen wyvern]

So its just zombie lag then... hope they do some optimizations for zombies

[vague trench]

yah they just need to tinker with the zombers there

[frozen wyvern]

Thry mentioned they want to implement shared rigs for the zombies so instead of each zombie having its own unique rig its split among large groups

Which should help a lot

[vague trench]

youre speaking riddles waht lol dumb it down like im 5

preferably use colors

[static heart]

orphanage

i think

[vague trench]

i think its wavery cause that restricted place is connected to it and it lags when you go down there lol

[frozen wyvern]

Ok, so
A 3D model uses a skeleton called a 'rig' to move it for animations
Instead of giving every single zombie its own unique skeleton, only have a few skeletons that all the zombies can share from

But of course thats a massive over simplification

All im saying is there is a lot of potential for zombie optimization

[vague trench]

oh okay , that kind of makes sense just from some of the terms i have seen in the modeling channel thnx!

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah animation is fun (even tho its difficult), i reccomend playing with Blender to learn more :-)

I wanna get into PZ modding so id like to try and animate the PZ characters myself

[vocal sentinel]

Yea I got a base there you’re just gonna have to deal with it

[heavy crown]

Is there an area/point where Generator Magazines are more likely to spawn?

I like that there's a lot of specialized areas for books (e.g. mechanics shops have mechanics books, garages have some of the mechanics books as well) but I don't see an obvious spot in towns for electrical/generators usually.

[vague trench]

back of work trucks that would fit that theme

[forest shore]

So guys I may of talked myself up a bit. And now I need to a all negative traits run...

[spare breach]

oops

[glacial cape]

gl!

[hidden fox]

Soooooo, guns. What's the deal with them?

Character's a cop with 2 levels in aiming and all she can shoot is jack and shit

[frozen wyvern]

Guns are being worked into a new ballistics system, still very WIP

[hidden fox]

Ah alright i see

[frozen wyvern]

Its looking promising but atm gunplay still needs work

[hidden fox]

Only shotguns seem to work for now

[frozen wyvern]

Haha yeah

[hidden fox]

Ol reliable

[vague trench]

anyone know if gern mags will spawn here lol

[frozen wyvern]

I havent really gone into those little places

Best bet for generator magazines is still storage units and literature places

I do think its still a bit silly since generator instructions usually come ON the generator

[umbral raven]

What can you do with animal blood?

[frozen wyvern]

Slurp
