Build 42 Unstable Out Now

[woven beacon]

Guns

You're better off trying to find them in commercial electrical vehicles

[vague trench]

yah i been chekcing work vehicles but havent come across electrical ones yet

[blazing coral]

there's a really good place I know of, found 2 how to use generators and multiple electrical magazines

[vague trench]

wyhich town sector , im in muldrag right now dinkin around

[blazing coral]

It's ||north of the golf club|| so you'll need a car

[vague trench]

okay cool i think i seen fliers for it so ill check mailboxes for the locations THANKS

[blazing coral]

yea I found it via a job posting flyer for a factory

[slim merlin]

Can you still dig up worms from digging furrows?

[sand heath]

can we change sandbox settings in a current save for B42? I wanted to make a rooftop garden, but realized I didn't select Farms not on Ground Level [!]

[wooden ravine]

is there a PZ map project for build 42 yet?

[keen gorge]

Yes and no

Map project is not updated for B42 but someone already made a site

It doesn't show POIs

https://b42map.com/

[wooden ravine]

thanks

[forest shore]

I wonder when they plan to include boats and what not ||there's a few island on the little lake and it has cabins on it||

[flat phoenix]

I doubt they’ll ever have boats

[ornate parcel]

swimming maybe?

[flat phoenix]

Maybe with custom animations but I doubt that too atm

[mossy tangle]

Before I go to the effort, is plumbed water still purified?

[flat phoenix]

I think Plumbing still doesnt work rn

They are reworking it from what I remember

[thick laurel]

Add swimming

[vague trench]

i think people would just meta building in places that cant be reached by zombers

[forest shore]

People already do that - just destroy stairs and sheet rope the windows.

[safe fable]

I'm pretty sure this has been asked already but does anyone know what to do with the game booting up with a black screen? (can hear music and apparently click things, it's just non-visible)

[mossy tangle]

Was there a 0 left off of the conversion of milk to butter? 5000ml seems more accurate than 500 lol

[vague trench]

yeah i mean i dont think they want to give people a 100% sure way to do that though , i think it would distract players from trying out differen tbase locations in other areas of the map and i think that they should allow mod creators to do what they like doing and make mods for people

[spare breach]

full pot of water somehow decides to not work at all and doesnt allow me to make soup/stew with it, amazing

[forest shore]

How do you mean? Like you think it takes 5000ml of milk to make a single stick of butter?

[spare breach]

anyways @forest shore i have been lied to
lvl'd to carpentry 5 and i feel not a single improv. weapon recipe has been unlocked

you did make that mod which changes the requirements so i may finally bring myself to using that because this is bs

or, you know, i can go driving around with my van and look for any barricaded houses, but in rosewood and its surroundings ive only found one, so theyre very VERY rare

[mossy tangle]

As far as I know irl it takes like 9 liters or more to make 1lb of butter

The sticks in game are 3200 cals which is about a pound

[forest shore]

You probably need to level up your secondary skills too. Off the top of my head I think most of the improvised weapons that require woodwork either use long blunt or short blunt for the most part

[forest shore]

From what I see on quick googling - your about 9x high on your estimate.

[spare breach]

crazy fkn high requirements then

most of them should be no more than 3-4

[forest shore]

But I'm not a butter maker. Google says it takes a quart (about a litre) to make a pound of butter

[spare breach]

as for the weapon skills, it makes little sense

[mossy tangle]

One liter of milk irl has 460 calories, how could it possibly make a 3600 calories stick of butter

[forest shore]

My mod basically halved the requirements. You should be able to add it mid-play no rpoblem.

[spare breach]

the mastery of using a weapon in combat should not dictate how much of a good craft you are

[spare breach]

yep im just yapping because its dumb

[mossy tangle]

Your source must be wrong, this one for example says it can take 21 liters. https://www.tastingtable.com/855563/it-takes-more-milk-than-you-might-think-to-make-a-pound-of-butter/. but at the very least it would need to be enough calories which is many many liters, not 1

[forest shore]

Oh oops - I see where I messed up. It's a litre of cream per lb of butter. Raw milk contains about 10% cream so you need 10 litre to make a lb of butter.

[mossy tangle]

Ahhhh got it

[forest shore]

That estimate of 21 litres is based on processed milk - which the highest you can get here in the US and it still be called milk is 4%, I think

[mossy tangle]

Well either way it’s way more than 500ml that the game has currently haha

[forest shore]

It may not be quite fully implemented yet - it may be a placeholder recipe for now.

[mossy tangle]

That seems likely!

a good explanation, as always
but I found a work around
the Advanced Trajectory Realistic Overhaul is still one of the best mods

[vague trench]

i love guns!! and i never used them in 41

theyre one of my favorite things lol

[silent dragon]

So this was a faster update than before

[hallow adder]

If 2023 is not a typo, I don't know what is.

[silent dragon]

Lol

Average random Google page search

[wraith rune]

Wow time really flies, feels like only days ago Build 42 launched

[hallow adder]

That tells you just how shitty our 4th dimension is when time flies so fast.

I have a question, I don’t really ever see zombies near my base once I clear the town , echo creek has been fully cleared and maybe like a few days ( like 5 ) Ill find straggles maybe a few houses down, but never near my base ( only has happened 2 times I saw one single zombie near my base ) what’s the purpose of fortification typically? Would this be in an area filled with zeds normally? ( I.e louisville.)

[forest shore]

Zombie respawn is set so that zombies will only respawn in cells you don't see for 3 days. You do, however, get zombies coming from other cells.

Fortifications are mainly a precaution - in my case they're needed because I set it so zombies are attracted by animals.

[hearty pond]

also, house spawns will generally come out of the buildings if you werent in them but near enough to trigger them

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/i-am-making-that-note-inspector-pietro-ravini-ripley-i-will-take-note-of-that-i'll-write-that-down-gif-16699688900206264258

[severe egret]

And with zeds seemingly magnetizing to the heatmap, they'll literally just take the place of any you cleared out

[severe egret]

Crank engine noise higher if you want to be dealing with zeds at your base

[vivid kestrel]

Though Zombie migration at least by what was going on in B41 was weird or at least I remember it being weird. The spreading is like, making borders of the cells populated and then sending one zombie per time. The migration only occurs over half a day. And if you are for while outside of the cell, zombies will end up filling up the cell as if they spawned there.

I could be wrong. Whatever mumbo jumbo some youtuber said doesn't translates to what source code is doing.

[forest shore]

Another to note - the respawn rate I believe is something like 1%?

Correction - it's 10% every 3 days.

[real fox]

Thank you for this :)

I’m thinking about checking out the new map on the top left corner of the map

I forgot how to spell it since not on pc

[vague trench]

noice

[autumn pier]

Real

[severe egret]

Man this is so weird, my first "memory" experiment in debug mode worked as expected; i could see zeds stop tracking me after leaving their LoS once i set memory to none. But every subsequent test has shown zeds still tracking me after losing LoS even with memory set to none... im so confused 😂

[hidden lodge]

where can I found some clay?

[hallow adder]

Foraging or by looking for clay mounds exposed out on the surface on the ground.

[hidden lodge]

where did you see the mounds? I just found limerock

[hidden lodge]

BTW for the bigger rock pile, how can I broke them?

[hallow adder]

There are some clay mounds you can see on the surface. But otherwise, you just keep foraging.

[hallow adder]

I think you need a tool for that. I'm not sure.

[hidden lodge]

I had foraging clay for entire afternoon

maybe the big harmmer?

seems clay is important in B42

[static heart]

i got a lot of clay through foraging

[hidden lodge]

On what ground? is that repeatable?

[hidden lodge]

Tks bro

[static heart]

road, forest...

yes it is

[hidden lodge]

seems that you found some place

[drifting thicket]

Why are batteries disappearing when I unistall them? is this a bug?

[static heart]

what do you mean "repeatable"

[hidden lodge]

did you find second clay at same place?

[static heart]

no

foraging doesn't work like this

[hidden lodge]

Seems that I am just bad luck

I really want to find a stable way to get clay. Somebody said there are pottery workshop but I dk where are they

[static heart]

build menu, but i don't think you can get clay with any workshop

[compact crow]

Only way to get clay is by foraging. I‘d recommend gravel roads

Just click and move 2x Speed with stone focus and you’ll find enough in a few days

And crouch

For bonus

[hidden lodge]

Clay is in stone index? I just know.

[glad steeple]

is tetris inventory working on b42?

[static heart]

@hidden lodge i found clay in 2 min

[hallow adder]

Check comments. I don't know.

[hidden lodge]

Got that, I will try. And I heared some body found clay bag in warhouse

[glad steeple]

in the mod comments people are arguing about the "mod vibe and respect" i don't know if it supported yet

[static heart]

you just don't want to miss it

so increase your search radius

it will be easier with a search radius of 10 than 3

[hallow adder]

...Oh Steam... oh you.... I guess you could just try it out and see.

[red hazel]

Is there a mod that allows us to wring all our clothes dry all at once after washing all them? I find it annoying to manually do it one at a time. My character always gets depressed from blood soaked clothes and all so I pretty much have to wash them pretty often.

[severe egret]

Doesnt look like it. It will take a while as there are a lot of new items to support

[forest shore]

I've had some UI mods that 'work' but they have caused glitches.

[cunning turtle]

[scenic gazelle]

I WISH.

[cunning turtle]

That's why I created another character without that trait

[real fox]

CHATTTT

I MADE IT TO 2 MONTHS

[outer galleon]

🎉

[red hazel]

Nice! Ima try blacksmithing once I get a month in

[spare breach]

grats, im past a month already

[cunning turtle]

Now to three months

[scenic gazelle]

AWESOME.

I am trying to figure out why louisville lags so damn much for me

I locked my game to 90 fps
in louisville it gets 25-30 tops

[cunning turtle]

Maybe because of the zombies?

[scenic gazelle]

I think it's the amount of zomboids, yes AND rats

I am on a 1 month later setting and in debug mode I noticed a HUGE amount of rats

[spare breach]

i think animals have a tendency to bug out for now

theyre the reason my game suddenly became unplayable due to zero fps and my save was essentially bricked (even though to this day i have no idea what actually happened except for the fact it was animal related)

had to literally reset all animals (resulting in all my chickens being dead) by deleting the apop file to be able to play again

burthday zambie

[cunning turtle]

Good option

[spare breach]

@real fox Where do you suggest to look for military gear? (webbings, backpacks..) I've only been around Rosewood so far, minus that one day trip to the historical coalfield

[real fox]

army surplus store going towards echo creek

[cunning turtle]

Nop

[real fox]

ill show you where i found stuff at least on my end

[cunning turtle]

on luna end

[real fox]

mind u its rng yeah

[spare breach]

yeah just point it out on the map

[hallow adder]

I got the helicopter event and I already have my safe house set up so all the windows are covered by sheets, and no lights penetrate inside the darkness of my home. Yet, the helicopter event never stops. What gives?

[spare breach]

id rather not go all the way to echo creek, preferably the closer to rosewood the better

my car has a tendency to run zomboids and rabbits over

[real fox]

i havenet gotten close to rosewood so idk

[spare breach]

im afraid it will not last me much longer

[real fox]

but i can maybe check https://b42map.com/

[vague trench]

zombie surviviors have them

i pull over and kill them turds anytime i see the little shits now

[cunning turtle]

Don't go out

[spare breach]

thats great and all but i dont think ive seen a single zombie survivor yet

[real fox]

i never worry about it, i just stay indoors

[cunning turtle]

That's cool

[vague trench]

i dont think people really know what to look for to tell them apart yet but they look like bandits

[hallow adder]

Yeah, but it lasts for more than the full afternoon. Is this normal? Usually in Build 41, it lasts for 1 hour.

[vague trench]

and colored hair and carrying stuff

[real fox]

if im honest you need a new car

[hallow adder]

Is it because I have chickens outside wandering in my zone? The helicopter never leaves because of the chickens?

[vague trench]

nex ttime i come across them ill take a ss of them

[real fox]

but march ridge is where you MAYBE might find some i doubt it tho, the army surplus store is your best bet

[vague trench]

have killed like 15 so far just driving around

[real fox]

muldraugh my last character i stayed there i found none there

i got unlucky with zombie survivor homes

any gun store should have them tho,

[spare breach]

gotcha ty, icould maybe go for both

the car i have will have to last me for a long time still, because the only thing kinda bad about it is the engine condition and my mechanics skill isnt high enough to do anything but simple structural repairs

all the other vans i see arent in a good state

[real fox]

also the estate you see on the map there, for some reason im finding ALOT of cop zombies here

im not sure if thats predetermine or super luck on my end but ive found like 10 here

[hallow adder]

Damn it, do not put animals near your safe house when helicopter event starts. Helicopter never leaves when you have animals nearby.

[vague trench]

lol

no wayy lmao

[hallow adder]

I'm sleeping

[vague trench]

hi sleeping

[cunning turtle]

Yeah I think it's normal, I remember play in b41 and sometimes it lasts a bit longer

[cunning turtle]

Sleeping looks like a good guy

[vague trench]

[cunning turtle]

Try to see if they have shotguns

[real fox]

i got so unlcuky and lucky haha none had them but 3 had m9s tho

and i have two night sticks

[cunning turtle]

Nice, keep looking

[real fox]

OH and a bullet proof vest but it has a hole in it, still in semi good condition tho

im in good protection rn

its cuz the annotated map

[spare breach]

dude march ridge is fucking packed with zombies wtf

im on low population and its still horrendous

sweeped all of march ridge and not a single survivor house in sight

[subtle tendon]

you have to get the map first

[cunning turtle]

[spare breach]

doubt it. I found one barricaded house in rosewood without a map

even if, i havent found any survivor zombies

[subtle tendon]

no, im saying if you go to march ridge with map and THEN see there will be more survivor homes

like the big building annotated map is goated

[spare breach]

What do you mean? I've read a map of march ridge before having gone there

Still no survivor houses

[subtle tendon]

i mean annotated maps

[spare breach]

Yes and im telling you that i doubt i need an annotated map because ive found a barricaded home without one in rosewood

[hearty pond]

yes, that are events, they spawn random

[subtle tendon]

for example you just gota kill lots of zeds to find the march ridge annotated map, when you find the map with the "X" on the big building the big building will spawn as a survivor base

[hearty pond]

they dont need a map to exist

[spare breach]

Yes i understand that but it is NOT a requirement

[subtle tendon]

ik but you dont want to load in the chunk for a building that you want to be a survivor home

[spare breach]

I wouldve expected at least one survivor home to show up without a map

[subtle tendon]

i dont go to march ridge if i dont find a big building survivor home

[spare breach]

I need the survivor houses for the new recipe magazines thats all

[forest shore]

Level 3 iirc.

[vague trench]

when you look for it you wont find it lol stop looking and itll show up watch

[spare breach]

I'm like 1.5 months in and i havent been looking all this time

[sturdy wren]

i have stress that at all doesnt seem to go away

i havfen't one gotten injured so there's no way it's infection

[pallid hinge]

In B41 if you went to an area, this example is dorms in March ridge (the big building you are referring to) before getting the annotated map you could still get the map and it would convert over to the survivor home, this actually allowed you to double dip on the loot.

So loading in the chunk is fine

Pretty sure it works the same way in B42 but I have not tested it yet

[velvet egret]

smoke a cigarette or read a book

I did! I don’t find any guns tho, just a buttload of ammo, also, I cleared out guns unlimited mostly ( the storage area and main entrance area for now ) and got 7 fucking rifles, was crazy how good the rng was, and also a lot of ammo

[pallid hinge]

More guns would be nice but I mostly just need ammo for my shotguns at this point

[real fox]

Just fully clearing out the army surplus area before I book it, staying near the estates rn ( the house with the well next door )

I have like 15 boxes of shotgun shells lmfao

But no shotgun yet , just pistols and rifles

[pallid hinge]

💪

[real fox]

I’m like ridiculously unlucky too, I found like 10 police officers somehow at the estates place near surplus , and they only had pistols ( found 3 ) no shotguns, I notice they mostly spawn at police stations or police station zombies

But I did get two bullet proof vest which was neat , one in semi ok condition and the other good so I did win some good shit

[sturdy wren]

the zombie literally wasnt there 2 seconds ago

and 2 seconds later it's not there

@TheDarkness @forest shore I did some testing with that chicken hutch I placed against the wall. It let the chickens in and out, but would spawn outside of the enclosure with no way back in and wander off. I ended up going into debug and destroy/rebuilding it.

[real fox]

which ones you noticed?

The last one

good at least we know it works but should have increased that animal zone

because I think they got out but the zone was limited to the fence that's why the venture off

if you noticed some vans from Lectro-Max, it's almost a sure thing they have some gen magz in the them

7 vans and 4 had magz in them lmao

gen magz now spawn in some relevant locations like factories, industrial warehouses etc

Nope! I thought the same for the longest time, then I went in and tested 🙂

Holy heck their pathfinding is insane now,

they are going all the way around the fence to get to me/the sound I produce

[woven beacon]

Yeah definitely makes you feel less safe lol

And with the fence breaking mechanic its gonna be wild, hopefully they extend it to wooden fences aswell

[sturdy wren]

praising god every day for the fact that i'm indoors during heli

[pallid hinge]

yea I am pretty excited for the breakable fences being in the vanilla game

[sturdy wren]

i literally found 0 headphones for automated kentucky system thing

[sturdy wren]

nvm

[pallid hinge]

[sturdy wren]

the consequences of burning a house down for the funny

[cunning turtle]

[real fox]

i stand corrected 18 boxes!!! lol

[pallid hinge]

daaang, did some inventorying I see

[wet timber]

Guys in my game it says "male animals will attack other males of the same species". So cockfighting is legit in b42?

[real fox]

LMFAOOOOO

[cunning turtle]

[cunning turtle]

Did u get finally a shotgun

[real fox]

NO

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[sturdy wren]

chat what is worse, eaten by zombies or burnt to death

[real fox]

LMFAOOOO my goal is to go to check at fallas lake soon

[cunning turtle]

Good luck

[cunning turtle]

Burnt

[sturdy wren]

it's been an hour and i havent seen the heli, is it gone?

[wet timber]

On that matter, is molotovs craftable in b 42?

[sturdy wren]

the fire magically avoided the room i was in, goodness fucking gracious

[pallid hinge]

Was that fire from your oven experiment?

[cunning turtle]

You're lucky

[sturdy wren]

[pallid hinge]

🤣 I helped

[sturdy wren]

oh my god there was a fire extinguisher next to me

oops

[cunning turtle]

[pallid hinge]

So anyone figure out the corpse sickness mechanic in B42? is it badsmell moodle ->queasy instead of just queasy?

[granite tusk]

i believe it's dependent on the amount of corpses near you

sickness has no effect on it anymore

[pallid hinge]

so it is just corpses near you not corpse+time like it used to be?

[wet timber]

its definitely tweaked a bit so that the bad smell happens the moment a bunch of corpses pile up, even outside

which makes sense, zombies are already necrotic

[granite tusk]

yes the moodle immediatly appears after a certain threshold of bodies are reached

[pallid hinge]

I am trying to clear out guns unlimited at the moment, and the front gate has so many dead there - I am worried I am gonna just die from it

[severe egret]

Even if you're in a car with all the windows up

[wet timber]

sounds like you're gonna need... unlimited guns

[pallid hinge]

pretty much

back in B41 I died to corpse sickness on a server that had it maxed out just due to being around them for too long. They used working masks mod, which is mostly built in now but I haven't found a regular gasmask just a SCBA respirator.

so I am always paranoid about it now

[sturdy wren]

are you genuinely fucking kidding me

you almost burnt down 3 times, dodged 2 hordes while hardly alive, survived the heli event

[pallid hinge]

Hanging out inside too much

[sturdy wren]

i lost my visor

[cunning turtle]

[tulip cedar]

is there any way to play mp?

[sturdy wren]

WHY does my character have a beard

[limpid halo]

Why there is no weapon xp for killing animals. Thats the only thing they are good for. Hopefully someone makes a mod

[pallid hinge]

Online MP no, LAN mp no, Splitscreen yes - you can use steam remote play to play split screen, someone will have to use a controller

[tulip cedar]

mhh okay thanks

[cunning turtle]

You're a murderer

Jk

[granite tusk]

so it looks like the corpses have decomposion rate up to 100% (increases over time and can accelerate depending on environmental factors (e.g., temperature and humidity)

and the closer a player is to the corpse, the higher the toxic effect:

1. within 1 meter: distance effect = 1.0
2. within 5 meters: distance effect = 0.5
3. beyond 10 meters: distance effect = 0.1
4. beyond 15 meters: distance effect = 0.0 (no effect).

if there are multiple corpses in the same area, the effects accumulate
the impact increases nonlinearly:

1. 1 corpse: density effect = 1.0
2. 2 corpses: density effect = 1.5
3. 5 corpses: density effect = 3.0

environmental factors can amplify the toxic effects:

1. high temperature and humidity: accelerates decay -> increases toxicity.
2. enclosed spaces: poor ventilation increases the toxic effects

so after all THAT: corpse sickness rate=(decay level)×(distance effect)×(density effect)+(environmental adjustment)

[cunning turtle]

[granite tusk]

i've checked the game's java code and that's all i could find

[wet timber]

PZWiki wants to know your location

[granite tusk]

stress has nothing to do with corpse sickness for now, it seems

[pallid hinge]

Thank you for taking a look for me ❤️

[limpid halo]

I just want that juicy xp. It would be so cool to level up all your weapons by beating the shit out of a cow or pig lol. Even leveling up aiming would be soo cool. There is enough food for like 50 years in game, no reason to do farming

[sturdy wren]

what if i want to live for 51 years

[cunning turtle]

Well

[limpid halo]

Then you need farming brother

[cunning turtle]

Since you're pro player, what does the panicked moodle do, does it reduce the melee damage?

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[sturdy wren]

does boredom get set to 0 the second i get 0.1 panic?

[granite tusk]

i haven't checked but it should

i could feel it

doubt anything related to panick changed from b41 other than the desensitized trait

[cunning turtle]

Well, I got the trait cowardly that's why I asked and I don't feel like less damage for now

[granite tusk]

i'll take a look at it now

[cunning turtle]

Cool, let me know then

[sturdy wren]

i have no idea what happens but zombies from like 50 meters around come out of nowhere to one location sometimes

[cunning turtle]

They are seeking you

[real fox]

2 months 10 days

[cunning turtle]

When three months

[severe egret]

Do you play without sound at all? 😅 could be house alarms. Been a few times ive had to play deaf and that shit has got me

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[real fox]

my skills rn

i lost a point of fitness from being stupid and loosing too much weight but ill recover

[severe egret]

Having a hard time levelling carpentry from nothing, ngl

[real fox]

did you watch the tv shows for it the first 9 days?

basically free 3 points for carp

[severe egret]

Nah man im always terrible at catching L&L 🤣

Always off doing shit

[real fox]

yeah makes sense

[pallid hinge]

Sometimes it is tough to do when dodging zombies

[real fox]

rabbit meat might be meta rn for me

[severe egret]

I think i just get super anxious about finding the essentials for survival, but always get carried away

[real fox]

literally fills me up more then chicken somehow?

[severe egret]

Them some meaty rabbits

[cunning turtle]

Never tried rabbit meat before so I can't tell

[sturdy wren]

I FINALLY FOUND GASOLINE

[cunning turtle]

I can't believe it

[sturdy wren]

the fuck happened to the image

[real fox]

LOL???

[sturdy wren]

how the fuck do i level mechanics to hotwire

[pallid hinge]

unplug lightbulbs+battery+radio on every car you see every 24 hours

[sturdy wren]

wait i have keys

[pallid hinge]

and then plug them back in

[sturdy wren]

i saw like 4 non wrecked cars in a week

did they murder car spawns completely or is it actually just horrible luck

[cunning turtle]

Guess

[fluid panther]

Why can't I connect the water?

[real fox]

plumbing broken rn once the water goes out

[fluid panther]

how to fix?

[real fox]

wait for update , for now just base up near a water source like well or river

[sturdy wren]

any cool base spots near muldraugh next to a water source?

i'm scared of basing next to west point so not cool houses north west of west point

[sturdy wren]

the former?

[real fox]

There’s a farm right outside of town I used to base at

It’s going towards the gas station to the right of town, once I’m on my pc I can show where

It has some chickens already there and 2 sheep’s I believe

[magic tree]

really want to keep playing but the controls for building seem to not work on the Deck. 😦 hope to see Steam Deck support soon. 🙂

[cunning turtle]

🙃

[sturdy wren]

I genuinely can't do anything

the zombies keep coming and coming from nowhere I keep killing zombies in one spot

i literally dont get time for a breather where do they keep coming from

[cunning turtle]

From the hell

Maybe you didn't disable the zombie spawn

[fluid panther]

How do you like my base?

[lament crow]

lot of wood and very thin driveway

zombies will atac and destroy most of all dat

[sturdy wren]

are zombies respawning every 15 seconds or what???

[fluid panther]

i dont have a car)))

[lament crow]

lol how'd you get all the resoueces out there then, must of taken a hell of a time on foot

[fluid panther]

almost 10 min go to city

[versed dagger]

The unstable's been(almost, around 98%) of what I had hoped for, and more in some places! Multiplayer's going to be greeeeeeeeaaaaaaat.

[cunning turtle]

Looks like a Minecraft base

[cunning turtle]

Depends on where you are, if you are for example in the middle of the city you're cooked

[sturdy wren]

i dont even have a gun i genuinely have no idea where are zombies coming from and tracking me down

inside a bedroom on a second floor building

[pallid hinge]

what settings are you on?

[sturdy wren]

apoc default

[pallid hinge]

by default apoc now zombie hearing is random, so they could be ones from far away that heard you killing other zombies and they have pin point hearing

[sturdy wren]

4 hours after waking up i'm sleepy again???????/

[pallid hinge]

pinpoint hearing they can hear from super far away

[sturdy wren]

that's really stupid

[ornate parcel]

Oh cool just found the chest rig, I’m less annoyed the fanny pack is small now haha

any seatbelt mods yet?

[woven beacon]

Does anyone else agree that m14s are way too rare atm?

And just guns in general

[burnt adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ztqH3Ulre8

[sturdy wren]

idk i ignore guns\

holy fucking shit mint condition car with unlocked door and key in glovebox

[keen gorge]

You don't particularly find guns anymore

You loot them off zeds

[woven beacon]

Well I noticed that with m16s

[ornate parcel]

idk I found a couple in the Muldraugh police station

[keen gorge]

Almost every gun my character has is a hand-me-down

[woven beacon]

Hm I mean I've checked 3 gun stores so far and no m14s, just pistols 2 JS shotguns and 1 msr788 lmfao

[cunning turtle]

is anyone else getting an error when mvoing into the backseat of a car

[cunning turtle]

Yea

[sturdy wren]

do i need a funnel when fueling generators?

[exotic wolf]

no

[sturdy wren]

why not

also is anyone else experiencing screen flashing white

[ornate parcel]

running any mods?

I've never experienced that

[sturdy wren]

a couple

item condition, proximity inventory, dig for clay, old moodles

[ornate parcel]

find out via trial & error

unloading one mod at a time and seeing if it fixes it

you gotta be careful with B42 mods, still heavily WIP, but personally I'm running ~25 mods with no issues

[sturdy wren]

WHAT????????????

I walked past a ""huge"" horde of two zombies and instantly just fucking imploded

didnt hear or see any bite attempts

just fucking implosion and i'm dead

[sturdy wren]

vanilla and still happens

probably because really old igpu

[ornate parcel]

yeah that's probably it then

[cunning turtle]

[cunning turtle]

Restart pc

[granite tusk]

Well known vanilla issue, has nothing to do with mods, most likely

[sturdy wren]

did i just somehow duplicate a gas can

[granite tusk]

Very balancing in terms of vanilla settings

[lament crow]

If its a problem for ya and yr on sandbox, you can tweak the settings to have guns spawn more often

I do wish someone made a mod that would guarantee better loot behind hard to access areas

[granite tusk]

You could already tweak loot pools based on zombie populations

I've been noticing a significant difference with it

[lament crow]

where is dat option

[sturdy wren]

what the fuck why did it take a fifth of my fuel to get through muldraugh

[forest shore]

Check your gas tanks health

[ornate parcel]

blud just experienced US 90s cars' mileage 💀

[sturdy wren]

25l should be fine no?

now what

can i even unstuck without -debug

[ornate parcel]

how

this is actually impressive 😭

[sturdy wren]

i jumped off the railing above

[lethal wolf]

do sheep yield milk in b42?

[forest shore]

The health percentage is what you should look at. Lower health means lower capacity, so it looks like you're using more when you aren't

[sturdy wren]

25 liters

54%

[forest shore]

You can pickup/remove the crates but no. Debug, no clip.

[forest shore]

Yes, but both sheep and cows need to have babies first. Gotta steal that baby milk.

[sturdy wren]

i probably need to switch cars asap

[lethal wolf]

gotcha, so I'll have access to sheep, chickens and pigs atm, have not found cows yet. Also wondering what differences different chicken breeds have

[sturdy wren]

absolutely no trunk space

[forest shore]

So all animal breeds have pros and cons it seems. Certain breeds of cows produce more milk, others produce more meat when butchered.

[forest shore]

Yea so your trunk and fuel tank is definitely damaged, that explains the consumption.

[lethal wolf]

that I read yeah, but chickens don't have milk, just meat and eggs, so I guess thats the variance

can't be mega selective of breeds until I find more regarding sheep and pigs. I guess leather only comes via hunting

[round cipher]

who else is waiting for mounts? I'd love to ride a chicken 😄

[sturdy wren]

no

[lethal wolf]

horses at best, I despise cars by now living in deeper forest

[round cipher]

yes but imagine riding any type of animal. New trait unlocked 😄

[lethal wolf]

the devs are not at least publicly even considering certain realistic options, to get fantasy "vanilla" things is even more astronomically impossible

[round cipher]

lol im more of waiting for devs on mods

[lethal wolf]

I'm sure someone will make you a chicken mount mod

what I will build in this playthrough wont even have horizontal space for anything big

[round cipher]

never put pressure on devs or they will delay the MP release 😛

[lethal wolf]

an island lighthouse base with built wooden piers to make the island bigger for barns and animal housing, while all few earth tiles used for farming and/or grazing. An island on a lake.

a vertical building challenge

although I doubt I can build very cool looking vertical building because we simply do not have a variance in wall styles unlike things like McCoy estates

maybe brick, if I can get that going

[sturdy wren]

my trunk is 88% and only 36kg space

[keen gorge]

Time to do some welding

[sturdy wren]

i ont have space for the stuff to weld in my car 😭

[forest shore]

Yea, certain breeds lay more eggs other produce more meat. They're all real breeds so you can figure out what ones do which.

[forest shore]

Most cars only have like 40-50 space.

[sturdy wren]

wtf that's nothing

[keen gorge]

Depends on the type of car

[lethal wolf]

lucky me I found both breeds in same area! Just don't tell PETA about my living conditions for the animals, my livestock gonna live the old sailor life

[forest shore]

Go for a heavy duty - think pickup truck (the enclosed pickup has more space then the open ones) van, or box truck.

[keen gorge]

Heavy duty and pick ups have big storage

Ambulance is probably the best of all worlds. Fast, very good storage, and almost always guaranteed to spawn with high engine quality

[lethal wolf]

a friend pesters me to get an ambulance, but with battery drain bug I doubt I'll find a working one...and not a single car repair shop has spawned ANY Laine's manuals

[forest shore]

I noticed it seems the auto mechanic vans also have high engine quality - that may just be lucky rng though.

[sturdy wren]

need to farm up mechanic 2 to hotwire cars and cars are really rare now

[forest shore]

I'll look at the code - but I think all recipes can be learned by just increasing your level now.

[sturdy wren]

a genny is 40kg????

[ornate parcel]

yeah, portable generators aren't exactly light

[keen gorge]

Valutech best gen

30KG for the low low price of needing to do a bit more maintenance? Yes please

[lethal wolf]

Would be nice, I am afraid the different Laine manuals are outside that system. Don't like being perma-locked from learning new things because of RNG. It's hard to start mechanical levelling when you simply cannot change/fix most car parts without a manual

[winged coral]

anyone else have a problem with certain walls blocking my view?
even though they should be transparent so I can see my character walking?

[forest shore]

The Valutech one is 30

[sturdy wren]

the fuck is a valutech

[forest shore]

It's a brand in the game.

Blue generator

[sturdy wren]

i fucking hate my character, he either is sleepy 4 hours after waking up or refuses to sleep at 2am

[forest shore]

Yea I think you might be right. Which does suck.

[sturdy wren]

combined with the fact that he enjoys just straight up exploding after the smallest scratch

[keen gorge]

Anyone needs the generator differences:

ValuTech generator weighs the least (30 instead of 40) It loses durability the fastest.
Old generator is slightly more durable
Lectro-Max generator has average durability
Premium generator is the most durable.

[lethal wolf]

Do you know which gen has a golden ish colour, cus I know where one is

Looked really OG

[keen gorge]

That's the old gen then

[forest shore]

IMO the old generator should weigh about 50kg (but I think that's supposed to be your weight max) cuz those old atomic gensets are HEAVY

[lethal wolf]

Well then, I am gonna replace my valutech one for sure if I can pick up the old one.

[keen gorge]

Premium gen is like the gen we know and love just with a golden/orange tint

[forest shore]

The generator I think the old generator is based off of. The yellow part is the generator head - it's a really cool design.

[lethal wolf]

Now that I think I am in Lectro-Max factory LOL

[forest shore]

Oh apparently they're "Mite-E-Lite" not atomic. I heard them called atomic generators (I think because of the logo)

[forest shore]

What I do with extra generators is I set one up at the fuel station I use, so I don't have to take the one from my base. And I keep a spare at my base. After that I begin placing them at safehouses. I tend to have a safehouse in each town.

[sturdy wren]

buh

[lethal wolf]

I've been unlucky with skill books and manuals in this 2nd run, but seeing when I load my game very soon, I'm inside a factory that likely has shit tons of Lectro-Max equipment, so I don't think I'll be without gennies at all xD

[real fox]

finally taking time to level up carpentry

[forest shore]

Any tips on fishing? I keep just catching junk. I am only at level 0.

[forest shore]

You should build a few pens, get yourself some animals. I leveled mine up to like level 4 just building pens for my animals

[keen gorge]

Aim as close to the bubbles as possible

[forest shore]

Do I need to like slowly reel in to attract them or osmething

[keen gorge]

Nope

They should be attracted quicker if you have bait attached

[forest shore]

Bait selection maybe? I'm using a slug.

I have caught a broken fishing net, a dozen or so tin cans, rags, and empty bottles lmfao.

[spare breach]

No you just wait until you see and hear that something has bit the hook

[forest shore]

Yea I hear it reel out but like just garbage thus far.

[keen gorge]

Also it seems you catch more trash the closer you cast to the shore

[forest shore]

The bad part is garbage gives you like .1 xp or something

[forest shore]

OHHHH maybe thgat's the issue. There's a little island right next to where I'm casting.

I don't mean to brag - but I'm basically superman

[sturdy sequoia]

wowie how are you surviving with almost no strength? lol

your carry weight must be awfully low

[forest shore]

It's 6 lmao. 7 now!

[sturdy sequoia]

lol how tf

[lethal wolf]

the joy when I got STR 4 and my carry weight went from 9 to 11, I could actually do so much more

[forest shore]

I basically ran into the forest and I live out of a tent.

Zombies r scurry. And I also can't really loot anything either so. Lmao

The exhaustion from carrying the supplies I needed to this camp almost killed me a few times.

[lethal wolf]

if I'm lucky, I can perma-retire to my lake today after final loot hauls and animals

but I am in a place where I have a chance to die if I fuck it up...

[keen gorge]

At the very least, tents now double as storage

[sturdy sequoia]

yeah no way I could do that, even the default 5 strength feels like not enough to me most of the time

[forest shore]

Yes that's really nice. So do lean-to shelters.

[forest shore]

It's doable once you learn what loot you actually need.

For example - my key items were a copper kettle (cuz I like the copper look most) and a single water bottle.

[sturdy sequoia]

no food or weapons?

[forest shore]

I brought a rock 😄

but no - food and weapons are necessary. I did find a hiking bag, but that was a nice find. Not a necessity. Fishing hooks and fishing line were the two big finds I found on my way here, those are the most important ones right after the kettle.

[hollow patio]

has anyone else had the issue where a container for water doesnt get filled outside during rain? ive been trying to fill a watering can in the rain but nothing happens

[forest shore]

You can survive 100% from foraging, even level 0, because you can just find mushrooms and berries.

[sturdy sequoia]

gotcha, so you're lowkey doing like a wilderness run plus whatever extra stuff you looted on your way out of civilization

[sturdy sequoia]

I don't trust mushrooms unless I have that trait that tells me which ones are poison lol

[lethal wolf]

I'm doing "similar" but hauling heavy loads of tools from civilization before perma-retiring to the wilds

foraging has not been as kind to me, even my lv is 5. But then, weight control will become a real problem at one point, so animal care shall be tested truly

[forest shore]

Ah yea that's a valid point for me to make - I knew I was going to do this, so I did take the trait that gave me that.

[sturdy sequoia]

okay yeah that makes sense then

[lethal wolf]

My permanent location as soon as I get my final prep done, lake island life with animals and farms

[forest shore]

For real I might do unfit too next time..

[lament crow]

yall know any radio mods for 42?

[forest shore]

I'm clearing the McCoy estates I think it's called? Camped at the south side of the lake. Tent and everything was here.

[sturdy sequoia]

I really want to try the blacksmith stuff but I keep seeing people saying it's impossible bc of how many tools you need to have for it. not sure if it's doable in the current unstable but I gotta try at least

[lament crow]

true music aint updated yet 😩

[lethal wolf]

I've found tons of tools from warehouses, I'm not sure how one would survive without some looting yet

McCoy estates does have blacksmithing facilities though, so importing some tools to top that

[sturdy sequoia]

that's that place down the dirt road south and west of west point right?

[lethal wolf]

much to my sadness, I cannot pick up looms and stuff I find, I even found "an electric forge" weighing only 0,5 units

[forest shore]

...I can't make soup. uh oh.

[sturdy sequoia]

I saw a yt short about it I think

[forest shore]

That's the goal of this run. The place I'm clearing has all the blacksmith stuff setup.

[sturdy sequoia]

oh that sounds perfect

[forest shore]

It annoys me, my last run went for over a month then I died. I had everything gathered and was ready to make my forge.

[ornate parcel]

He’s running from all his problems 💀

[forest shore]

Santa Clause doesn't run. He waits. He bides his time. He prepares. By Christmas, he will save the town.

I forreal didn't realize he looked like santa until I found this hat lmfao.

[keen gorge]

Aren't we all

[lethal wolf]

hmm I don't think this factory loot is right. Lectro-Max factory, no electrical loot, just STEEL INGOTS and metallurgy loot

but hey future blacksmithing thanks ye...

[forest shore]

Tfw you realize you never let your guy add the bait to the rod so you fished without bait FOR TWO DAYS

I saw it in the secondary so thought he had added it. I was wrong.

[ornate parcel]

No, we must not bow when met with opposition, we shall face it head on and fight relentlessly 🗣️🗣️

[sturdy wren]

i have made a grave mistake

[keen gorge]

No I'm walking away from my problems like a real adult

[ornate parcel]

That is infantile

[forest shore]

It pays to not be a freaking idiot.

[sturdy wren]

i wanted to loot 1 zombie with a gun, i looked around, no zombies in sight, i get out of the car. kill the zombie, suddenly nearly get bitten from the back, SOMEHOW a horde of like 7 zombies came out of somewhere, i try to kill them but more and more come

[ornate parcel]

How
Last time I fished I caught trash for an entire day

[forest shore]

Make sure you have bait. It seems without bait (and a low level) you will only catch trash.

[sturdy wren]

i abandon my car and now i'm hiding in some house's bathroom nearly bleeded out probably infected

i had to rip my favourite green hawaii shirt for rags 💔

[ornate parcel]

I had maggots as bait, premium fishing line and a proper fish hook 😭

[keen gorge]

Aim for the bubbles and don't fish near the shore

[ornate parcel]

Anyone done a 100% sprinter run yet?

[bold kelp]

Yeah, died in the first 4 minutes

[lament crow]

anyone know any music mods out atm?

[ornate parcel]

Sounds about right 💀

[real fox]

its something haha time to kidnap chimken now

[topaz sorrel]

sounds like a glitch mine had 2 or 3 some worn and I found at least 1 on zombie

[ornate parcel]

Normal pop full sprinters, super strength but fragile health, pinpoint hearing and eagle eyed, gotta be fun right?

[forest shore]

Ironically I think the fishing minigame in PZ is easier than Stardew Valleys lmao

[lament crow]

guys, is there a mechanic in riverside? i think someone told me there was but i cant see it on my map

[forest shore]

Yesssssss. Be sure to put some grass cuttings in one of those troughs to keep it from filling with rain.

So you can use fish filets as bait now! 😄 That's really nice.

[real fox]

how do yall transport animals? i tried putting one in the car but apperently it wont fit

...Why in the world can't we make long sticks - either out of logs or planks or tree branches.

[forest shore]

Speak of the devil that's an animal trailer right there - any car can tow it you'll just move a little slower.

Feauture - and a sandbox setting you can change. @topaz sorrel

[bleak gyro]

Really? What’s the setting called

[forest shore]

It's under Character > 3 lines above the XP Multiplier category "Maximium Media XP Level" by default it's 3.

[bleak gyro]

Ah, interesting. Thanks!

seems like a good feature for some play styles but unnecessary by default, at least for me

[sturdy sequoia]

I was also wondering if they capped all tv show xp at 3 levels intentionally, good to know

kinda makes sense too since there's only so much you can learn about a skill before you get hands on and try some stuff

[bleak gyro]

True yeah , but it’s especially grueling for carpentry cuz u don’t get xp for dismantling anymore

[forest shore]

Leveling carpentry is super easy now

I got level 4 or 5 just from building a few animal pens - from 0.

[sturdy sequoia]

do you still dismantle stuff for the materials or is chopping trees better now?

[forest shore]

At higher levels it can be handy - but at low levels you just break shit. So I just chop trees.

[sturdy sequoia]

I was thinking all those buildings full of useless chairs and tables would be good for sourcing materials if I wanted to build stuff

[sturdy sequoia]

good point

[regal spindle]

if you have access to an axe your probably better off sawing logs

[lament crow]

apparently people have been going around saying that you can befreind rats, can you actually get rat pets or is this a troll?

[sturdy sequoia]

okie good to know. and for carving, is it just me or is the only way to make replacement handles for broken hammers to make 10 at a time? I'm surprised you can't whittle a tree branch or something to make just one or two

[civic drum]

Praise be to this mod maker: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3393660982&searchtext=

Wonder how they did it.

[forest shore]

Currently, you can 'tame' any animal that you put in a animal zone.

[lament crow]

lol nice

[civic drum]

Speaking of possible myths, when B42 first came out, some people claimed that the new phones in game rang and could be picked up. Can anyone verify this?

[lament crow]

and, NOOOOOOOO the book club was a bust!! i needed those darn skill books and it was all just readable books

fml

[forest shore]

I never had that happen in my play through.

I do have the original B42 saved as a backup - so I could test it I guess. But I doubt that was a thing.

[civic drum]

Neither have I, but I never really ran into phones that often either.

[unborn thorn]

In lore all the phone lines are down for maintenance, so it wouldn't make sense for them to ring.

[forest shore]

My guess - someone heard an alarm clock ringing and thought it was a phone.

[civic drum]

That seems probable.

[forest shore]

The alarm clock ring does sound similar to a phone ringing.

[cunning turtle]

[real fox]

question, what type of food should i not feed animals or do they not care right now?

[lament crow]

i think the general consensus grass is fine, its not like farm animals really care irl aswell most of them will chow down on grass all day so ig that works

I mean you can (find) animal feed bags and maybe some other type of animal food? but ive only found feed bags

[frozen wyvern]

My pigs only will eat the FINEST slop

[lament crow]

🙏 slop for the slop

[real fox]

do animals get diseases?

almost 3 months :3

[frozen wyvern]

Very true

Admittedly i like rigging and modeling characters way more than actually animating them

[lament crow]

👌 nice, im coming up on a month (with this char now) and nope i dont think animals are that techincal yet

[vague trench]

https://tenor.com/view/noice-gif-21882904

[silk nova]

actaully anyone noticed if the animals in the farms die for starvation?

[lament crow]

i havent witnessed it myself but other have confirmed that its possible yeah

[frozen wyvern]

We believe in Crowbar supremacy

[lament crow]

also, domesticated animals, sometimes in the bigger farms tend to have higher stocked troughs of food and water, however smaller pens usually dont have as much if, not missing one or the other

[real fox]

IT LASTS FOREVER

[silk nova]

i hope it's true cause otherways looting food will not have so much sense, i still hope for a mod who gonna make the zeds attacks the animals

[frozen wyvern]

Admittedly i feel crowbars break slightly faster now but theyre still the goat

[frozen wyvern]

Considering how much its been asked itll happen with a mod im sure

[silk nova]

😍 ù

[vague trench]

i had animals say dying of thirst so im sure they do and seen some chickens in some areas that were alive no longer when i went back to muldrag

[real fox]

In sandbox settings you can set it so that animals attract zombies from them making noise

In theory this should spawn more zombies in the area the more animals you have possibly

[silk nova]

i saw it but still animals cannot be attacked by the zeds so it's just to attract them on your base or around farm areas

[frozen wyvern]

I wonder if that would cause zombies to follow rats for eternity lol

Little rat nuggets for the zombos

[silk nova]

🤣

[real fox]

Ohhhhh attack yah that would be fun

[dawn elm]

Never tried out West Point yet in build 42

[vague trench]

lmfao no fair i want that

[sturdy wren]

i'm going to miss this sound

[dawn elm]

We got to find some funny names

[topaz sorrel]

how do I enter degug menu to change item in custom sandbox?

[fringe barn]

You need to type -debug on the steam pz custom launch properties. Then in game you'll see a little bug icon on the left.

[topaz sorrel]

thank you

[wooden ravine]

actually build 42 released in 2024

[blazing coral]

agghhh so that's why I always had to fight 2-3 groups of zombies everytime I made some noise... some of them had eagle vision or pinpoint hearing

[wooden ravine]

that says random between Normal and Poor, not Pinpoint and normal

[blazing coral]

default is random. existence of "random between normal and poor" implies random includes pinpoint

[ornate laurel]

Ran around a CDDA world in -debug

Was so sad flying around with "quick movement" and seeing animals flop over dead

[forest shore]

I'm loving this sudden surge of menu art mods https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3393762217

[forest shore]

It's also why large cities are a deathtrap - you can have a zombie with the slowest speed, but pinpoint hearing, hear you from forever away but won't get to you until you're far into the fight.

[vague trench]

yeah every farm i generated cows were doing that but bulls would be alive lol

[forest shore]

Default is random and does include pinpoint. The 'between between and poor' is new as of b42

[wooden ravine]

I don't follow. look at this. (pinpoint-normal-poor) between normal and poor can not include pinpoint because it is not between, it is greater than

[blazing coral]

I had the mouse over it just to take the print.

[forest shore]

Casper is saying they're changing it from the default random to random between normal and poor

[blazing coral]

My biggest peeve was that one zombie would force me to fight attracting the less aware zombies around me all the time

[forest shore]

Yea it can be a constant stream in populated areas. It's a change I personally love but not everyone likes that.

[vague trench]

yah i think next time i make a new world im gonna keep vision on the default random but hearing on random and poor

cause the vision one when its random to poor theyre pretty dumb lol

[blazing coral]

I love that they've made multi-hit off by default, never made sense to me (it's not confirmation bias I swear)

darkness during night is default to normal. There's still "Dark" and "Pitch black" 💀

[forest shore]

Holy crap theres a mod to allow us to throw our bags over fences

[forest shore]

Honestly horrifying lmao. PZ became a horror game with this release.

[spare breach]

how the hell do you progress so fast

i guess it's because i do not make much use of the speed-up buttons unless im doing some really slow activity

[frozen wyvern]

That artist is crazy talented

[forest shore]

They really are.

[frozen wyvern]

Id prefer art to be commisioned for them

[spare breach]

yeah that looks so amazing

[topaz sorrel]

hello how do I refill propane torch,?

[ornate laurel]

It's bugged IIRC

[topaz sorrel]

fuq

[pallid hinge]

Those headphones are so like 2010s

Beats by Dre-esque

[spare breach]

i dont even have any propane tanks which sucks

i do have like 7 propane bottles though. Wonder if i can use these to refill my torches. iirc they only cant be refilled if theyre completely empty

[forest shore]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3388082481&searchtext=refill+torch haven't tried it myself yet

[blazing coral]

you can refill if it's not completely empty. but the empty ones are bugged

[spare breach]

does anyone know how much rarer survivor houses are in B42?

[forest shore]

So many mods don't work in 42 because of a single type. Everyone keeps making the folder Common instead of common

[spare breach]

Literally only found one so far, in my spawn town Rosewood. I sweeped the rest of it and nothing, same for march ridge

[vague trench]

been finding most of mine in trailer parks not sure if thats just rng or anything

[forest shore]

Ah crap I forget how to clean rags already lmao

[spare breach]

water containers

preferably a big container like a bucket so you dont have to be constantly filling up the container just for all of it to be used up on one rag

liquid transfer, cooking, and cloth/bandage cleaning rn is so goddamn annoying i swear

[forest shore]

It seems you can't clean water in a bucket 😦

But yea thanks, I needed clean water not tainted.

[blazing coral]

found a new event with cops and military inside a building full of corpses

was a very lucky start except from getting scratched by 3 zombies behind the door

[forest shore]

So you can cook fish filets, put them in a stir fry, cook the stir fry, and it gives you more hunger reduction.

[civic drum]

That's pretty cool. Like how many?

[opaque schooner]

Anything cool on them?

[spare breach]

you can

it just takes a really long time for some reason

[blazing coral]

I think it was around 3 cops and 3 military inside an auto shop. ballistic vests, webbings, magazine vests, but few to no guns weirdly

[glad pawn]

no it doesnt lmfao it explicitly says normal and poor

[jade haven]

So, y'all have seen https://b42map.com right?

[forest shore]

Yea

[pallid hinge]

I wish it had the loot heatmap like pz-map did (hope the guy who made it is ok, he dropped off the face of the internet)

maybe oneday

[jade haven]

I think they said that they're not updating it until after New Years?

[blazing coral]

turns out the new aiming system is not so bad when you are not an anxious ball of nicotine withdraw

[jade haven]

Also works better when you know what texture settings to use

[pallid hinge]

nah pz-map ≠ map.projectzomboid.com - it was a different project by a different guy (similar to b42map)

[jade haven]

Ohhhh

[blazing coral]

someone posted a print with some nice settings a few days ago. do you happen to know who?

#1318684957526458450 message nvm found it

[pallid hinge]

3-ish years ago he was going hard on the project, with really frequent updates, sometimes multiple updates a day, then one day the website went offline, and he hasn't posted on reddit since

one of the features was a loot table visualizer/heatmap thing, it was really neat

[forest shore]

I can't figure out why I can't light a campfire all of a sudden

This just scared the shit outta me lol

Guys, my ram is getting stressed, what should i do?

He's not enjoying his new altitude

[slim merlin]

was it bit?

[elder flax]

Yeah, wouldn't want him to get a headache you know

[lethal wolf]

Anyone found any food preservation methods for meat apart from freezers and electricity?

[vague trench]

hole or stairs

lol yolo

[frozen wyvern]

Only one way to find out

[vague trench]

i tried lol

[hallow adder]

The only way.

[hallow adder]

Sinkholes? Nice

[frozen wyvern]

Not quite, pickling food

Which you can freeze, yeah, but it still lasts a long time unfrozen still

[hallow adder]

I don't think meat can be pickled.

[frozen wyvern]

Ooooooo meat in particular lol

[hallow adder]

Yeah...

[frozen wyvern]

They're probably going to add drying meat and stuff down the line since it feels in theme withthis update

[vague trench]

lol man i went down there and forgot a battery

https://tenor.com/view/nibbles-dunce-tom-and-jerry-gif-3253767392919141964

[hallow adder]

Drying meat is possible in a future update. We don't know if that will be the plan before multiplayer.

[forest shore]

Meat can be pickled, according ti wiki it's the original reason for pickling

[lethal wolf]

Meat drying rack was mentioned in thursdoid around January 2023.

[keen gorge]

Hell yeah, pickled fish and pickled trotters here we come

[vague trench]

lol pickled trotters

[hallow adder]

Huh, does the wiki show us how to do that?

[forest shore]

Was talking about irl my bad .-.

[hallow adder]

[keen gorge]

Unironically one of my favorites. My grandma is great at making those

[forest shore]

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY

[keen gorge]

Mmm yeah that place's a hotspot

[frozen wyvern]

Is that the McCoy estate?

[forest shore]

Yea

[frozen wyvern]

Is that near the McCoy warehouse

[forest shore]

Sorta

[keen gorge]

It's between Fallas Lake and Muldraugh

[forest shore]

||Just go north from McCoy|| you'll walk into it

Fences + Spears are still OP af. This is that big group.

The random speed actually makes it easier because the faster ones get to the fence first, so it's just a long trickle of 1 or 2 at a time.

[keen gorge]

Now add in 10% sprinters

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah fences are still too powerful

Maybe it should make it so that some zombies in pursuit turn immediately into crawlers upon hopping a fence

So there would be no more long delay before they can do anything

[blazing coral]

coffee machine works confirmed

looks like it's one of those recipes that use the whole item instead of an amount

[vague trench]

yah i cannot wait for the fence stuff to get implemented i can take out a huge hoard with and without stout with just a wooden mallet pretty easily lol

[forest shore]

It would be better balance if fences break after so many zombies fall over it

[keen gorge]

I'm pretty sure they already do

[severe egret]

This is why we need the ability to vault crates/counters/desks etc

[vague trench]

i just dunno if there any real way to combat it outside of foot pain and making shoes break easier when stomping with certain shoes.. maybe damage feet depending on what type of footware?

but then everyone would use boots lol

[keen gorge]

Fences already break if too many zeds trip there in a short amount of time

I say tweak it so the number required is lower

[blazing coral]

omg

Somewhat found proof dev's are planning on making ladders usable:

attic is moddeled and stocked with stuf but no stairs, only 1 ladder

Seems kinda odd to include an attic of you cant acces it with current means

[spare breach]

indeed, very sus

[elder flax]

ඞ

[mossy tangle]

Interesting you can use the rain barrel to store milk but only using the transfer liquid to get it out, if you use fill from
The right click menu it’s fills as water

[jade haven]

May we pray for vanilla ladders.

[elder flax]

i doubt we'd need to pray, seen plenty of ladders been added to places where'd you'd think theyd be used, couldn't say if its for this update or for 43

Rosewood grocery store for example

ladders are everywhere new, every 'big' building has atleast obe if them

[ornate laurel]

I'm sure they're planning to add them

Make them use an (ideally revamped) Rope Ladder logic and new animation set

[elder flax]

Yeah, i'm hopefull for more vertical dynamics, probably hard to balance tho, with z'ds not being able to climb ladders

[blazing coral]

animwork branch had updates today 👀

[elder flax]

would be cool for louisville tbh, why enter via front doors, if you could climb a ladder and come in from above

[vague trench]

staring a tmy dumb little corpse

[blazing coral]

weird. I got a multihit with the shotgun once. I thought it was completely gone

[frozen wyvern]

Its still there but since the spread isnt anything like 41s its harder

[pallid hinge]

I have also multihit with the shotty

[frozen wyvern]

All of the bullets converge on a single zombie most of the time

[blazing coral]

yea, hit chance is pretty good with aim lvl 0

[frozen wyvern]

Cant say ive felt the same

[spare breach]

i have a full choke on my shotgun now so its supposedly even better

Shotgun still best gun (for leveling aiming)

How can you get a wooden bucket? I can’t find bands

Sorry to bother, does anyone remember which blogpost(s) had some images of the in depth crafting trees as I want to know what is to come when they expand on it.

The images were flowcharts of the recipes I believe

[spare breach]

you can find it as loot, ive found it in one of those farm storage buildings

and uhh, i think some historical buildings have it too. The historical coalfield near brandenburg should have some

and generally stuff such as canteens and antique stoves too

"Balanced"

[keen gorge]

Ramps is probably one of, if not the biggest, underrated change that sure flew by most people that I'm certain will be extremely relevant in coming weeks

I can already imagine the map modders going crazy with them

[real fox]

Sandbox set to 50 days instead of 100 days for full erosion

[wispy yew]

Would love to see the developers implement clay dig spots around the rivers and lakes on the map. Foraging is not a realistic or gameplay-promoting way of getting into the new workstation and building systems.
Thoroughly enjoying the update however and loving the fps and lighting changes!

[spare breach]

foraging is good, i think what people need is a more consistent way to gather these main materials

given the large amounts of them that are needed for crafting
