Build 42 Unstable Out Now

[frozen wyvern]

I wanna make a slingshot and bean some zeds

[vague trench]

lmao , will test on a friend

[granite tusk]

10/10 beta branch names

[vague trench]

make it so we can throw tin can and it makes the tink noise

[granite tusk]

"getoutofhereyoufilthyspy"

[desert citrus]

for me i just like looking at the guns its basically the cool factor for me thats why i basically had brita for all of the playtroughs the entire gun models are a mixed bag like the berreta being basically a black blob resembling the fucking gun from superhot to the m14 looking like a masterpiece

[frozen wyvern]

I just dont like Britas tbh, its for some people and thats good but I find it to be way, WAY overcomplicated

VFE for life (hope it gets ported haha)

[desert citrus]

idk i never found it overcomplicated the guns still gun like a gun it add's a lot of calibers but thats what makes it so good for me

[real fox]

lmfaoooo

[vague trench]

yeah i never used weapons in 41 like for years i never used them 42 is the first time i have openly went out of my way to even bother going to a gun store i really love guns now theyre so fun theyre going to be great i think

so maybe they will change some models as long as it fits pz style n stuffs

[desert citrus]

guns are very fun and fhey clear hordes fast also i found them to be actual run savers when you are exhausted beyond repair

[real fox]

yessssss

[vague trench]

dang i didnt know she blonde hari at one point lol

[cunning turtle]

Yeah and show us the bunker

[desert citrus]

that base looks good where is it?

[real fox]

do guns loose durability if you reload them while not in combat?

[vague trench]

yah i think i tried the deagle and i loved that and i tried the m16i can see why that gun is so rare holy fart lol

[gleaming perch]

Louisville

[frozen wyvern]

Its a house in Red dot in Muldraugh

[gleaming perch]

i just lied i felt like lyjng

[finite tangle]

The bunker isnt that hard to get too just go with a crow bar and hop the fence not tightly packed

[frozen wyvern]

At least youre honest ☺️

[desert citrus]

me when i spread missinformaiton online:

[cunning turtle]

Why did you lie to me

[gleaming perch]

sorry

[cunning turtle]

[vague trench]

im not sure i didnt even know you could level up reloading re...loading until today rofl

[cunning turtle]

Yeah u can do that

[desert citrus]

im sad its the A2 version though they basically made the A2 because originally soilders were wasting ammo because they could shoot the A1 fully automatic and it also caused some issues with the gun cycling imagime moving down a horde with a full auto m16

[cunning turtle]

Nopeeee

If they do now in b42, f

[desert citrus]

im pretty sure the only way a gun can lose durability is firing it

[granite tusk]

let's see how it goes

[desert citrus]

thats just my guess though im not gonna rely on playtime or amything but i have 700 hours

[cunning turtle]

I see everything but you build

[cunning turtle]

I have 1000+ hours

[desert citrus]

dear god 4X pop with full muscle strain

[granite tusk]

muscle strain is what bothering me most

[desert citrus]

Rest your soul because you wont be surviving the night

[granite tusk]

populations didn't really matter much for me on b41 when i could space alt + space with hand axe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoAo1NXV5uI&list=PLaDIa_3z3dtpWFAPT6OlcHxWb3u9smNSM

ass window size, but trust me it's definitely something possible

[cunning turtle]

I saw a video of you against sprinters what a pro fr

[granite tusk]

it's just bug abuse

[frozen wyvern]

My man is playing this on a Leappad display

[vague trench]

lol i was like is this a gameboy advanced its so tiny and cute

[woven beacon]

Muscle fatigue for climbing low fences when?

[cunning turtle]

Blud is trippin

[woven beacon]

no cap

[cunning turtle]

Ahh

[granite tusk]

4:3 🫶🏻

[vague trench]

lol

[desert citrus]

yeah baiting windows like that is truly a way to play the game, at that point its basically just a reflex game when the zombies move at mach fuck, i dont know if i would have fun doing that

[cunning turtle]

Did you try it in b42

[granite tusk]

16x?
No

[desert citrus]

4:3? what are you running the game on a baby monitor lmao

[granite tusk]

i have few other windows open

[cunning turtle]

Stop judgin

[granite tusk]

didn't felt like alt tabbing

[desert citrus]

no im genuanliey curious to the setup

[granite tusk]

it's just an ass laptop that i use for office works

[desert citrus]

I've seen some cursed setups in my lifespan mostly because im from eastern europe

[cunning turtle]

Ahh I understand it now

[frozen wyvern]

Ah, i miss Korea, I visited Seoul arpund this time last year and it was coooooold lol

[desert citrus]

8th gen cpu rip, atleast you got ram for days

[frozen wyvern]

Sorry just got reminded of it throigh the korean text haha

[granite tusk]

@cunning turtle there

[cunning turtle]

At least you can play like a pro

[cunning turtle]

What incomprehensible means

[frozen wyvern]

What does incomprehensive do?

[granite tusk]

"you tend to find less item while searching containers"

[frozen wyvern]

Never ran with any trait mods

[cunning turtle]

Ahh

[granite tusk]

isn't that something like unlucky but worse

[frozen wyvern]

Im a loot goblin so thats a big no no for me

[vague trench]

what are you playing on lol

[granite tusk]

cute laptop

[vague trench]

lol

[frozen wyvern]

Hmmm guess that trait wouldnt work in 42 since Lucky and Unlucky gpt removed

[vague trench]

lucky my love

[frozen wyvern]

Honestly never really sure why i picked Lucky, it didnt realllyyyy do much

[vague trench]

i just picked it for the icon lol

[cunning turtle]

Wth is that icon

[granite tusk]

clover

[vague trench]

the clover!!

[granite tusk]

🍀

not this place -.-

it's the worst westpoint spawn for me

[cunning turtle]

F

[brazen jetty]

I usually just restart the game until I hit police station with a key

[granite tusk]

that's cringe

[vague trench]

lol

[cunning turtle]

Oh singlain, say something

[vague trench]

now thats dedication to spawn sector

[brazen jetty]

surely it is but guns are good now and with no mollys in b42 yet having some ammo to my pistol is crucial

[granite tusk]

(🇬 🇬 )
i'll stick with fast shamblers

[brazen jetty]

something

[cunning turtle]

Perfect

[real fox]

i died

[cunning turtle]

Luna I thought u were pro

[brazen jetty]

we all been there mate

so how did you die?

[real fox]

im so used to echo creek start i got spoiled

[cunning turtle]

F

[real fox]

i killed off my 3 month character cause i got bored, and been trying out new builds

rn died from being exhuasted haha and being cocky

[vague trench]

right lol saftey sector

[cunning turtle]

That's how you learn faster no cap

[vague trench]

i hope they add more challenges winter is coming challenge is fun but i only ever saw one blizzard out of the 3 weeks i lived fer

i want my storm is coming challenge back !!@

[brazen jetty]

they said right next to the challenges section that some are disabled as they are now polising them

[vague trench]

yay!!!

[brazen jetty]

last stand is quite buggy tbh

[vague trench]

wait how did i miss that lmfao

[brazen jetty]

you buy 2 nails instead of 5 they state on the buy menu

[vague trench]

LOl yah im just blind as a fartass

[brazen jetty]

and you don't even need 4 nails to board up a house

[vague trench]

last stand would be so fun with friends

[brazen jetty]

agreed

[vague trench]

reminds me of left 4 dead that one mode

[real fox]

thoughts on disorganized?

[brazen jetty]

if you're only learning - having less carry capacity EVERYWHERE is not good

[cunning turtle]

Exactly

[real fox]

ive had it before it fucking sucks

[frozen wyvern]

Im excited for thr The Calm Before the Storm mod to come back, that mod was so tense

[cunning turtle]

I personally don't recommend it to you

[real fox]

but man those extra points seem good

[brazen jetty]

especially if you don't pick any strengh traits to boost the default carry capacity of 12

[frozen wyvern]

Disorganized and All Thumbs are non starters for me

[vague trench]

right lol i was looking at the traits and i was like how bad could it be

[frozen wyvern]

Absolutrly never using those

[vague trench]

i went with slow learner instead ll

[real fox]

slow learner oh nooooo

[frozen wyvern]

Slow learner is theoretically fine but only if you are in it for the long haul

[vague trench]

which i think is fine since a lotof crafting stuff is kinda wip for the first few hotfixes lol

[brazen jetty]

they don't worth it tho

[frozen wyvern]

I am liking the direction of nerfing most negative traits to give less points tho, less min maxxing

[brazen jetty]

you can kinda even fast learner and the trait that gives you less combat xp

[granite tusk]

pacifist?

[brazen jetty]

yeah

[cunning turtle]

I don't like pacifist

[brazen jetty]

me neither

[granite tusk]

i'd stick with hemophobia instead

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

I saw it

[brazen jetty]

OP builds are so out of place for PZ, the game weren't meant to be played this way

so it's a good thing devs are trying to balance it

[vague trench]

yeah , really have to decide which to take now instead of just picking a couple certain ones it seems

[brazen jetty]

I ran many OP builds in B41 and I finally feel like the game is fairly hard again without me getting to Louisville mall in 3 days and shooting the entire place

[vague trench]

would the cant read trait work for basic crafting ? lol or would you have to pick a profession

[brazen jetty]

can't read is more for those who are more into combat rather than survival

[vague trench]

ahh otay that makes sense

a "Clearer" lol

[brazen jetty]

I only play illiterate chracters when I want to turn PZ in Hotiline Miami

[neat saffron]

I found a very strong build already

I will not share my secrets

[vague trench]

its slow driver isnt it

[neat saffron]

Nope

[vague trench]

or slow milker

[brazen jetty]

it's really subjective as for OP builds, if you're bad at the game no OP build will help you

[vague trench]

lmAO thats me

[granite tusk]

he doesn't looks serious

[neat saffron]

My build is basically just built on giving you a shitload of XP in every skill all at once

[real fox]

here we go again ima do riverside this time :3

[vague trench]

yay riverside!!

[real fox]

i havent done this one in a bit

[brazen jetty]

all towns are quite populated in B42

[cunning turtle]

Show it or cap

[real fox]

for fricken real!

[cunning turtle]

Louisville when

[brazen jetty]

maybe it's just zombie heatmap but I think all zeds decided to make gas station their home

[real fox]

i actually have never been

[vague trench]

its nice because i always would base in riverside near that fishing area by where you go to brandenburger and it would get kind of stale living out there

[brazen jetty]

here's a plan for you if you get bitten
grab all the guns you have and shoot the louisville's military checkpoint

[vague trench]

lol

[brazen jetty]

"If I gotta die, rather fall into my grave gun in hand and on fire, and not drag anyone down with me."

[cunning turtle]

Luna will die but will die in hell lol

[brazen jetty]

we all will, don't we?

[cunning turtle]

Exactly

[granite tusk]

grungey long 🤍

best vanilla hair

[cunning turtle]

Singlain can relate?

[brazen jetty]

indeed

I can show a few of my characters if you want

really waiting for fluffy hair to update for B42 so I can wear something on my head

[granite tusk]

i'm assuming they changed the indoor spawn mechanic from b41 which was only based on the room's size and zombie stats
i even find rural areas being less populated in b42

[brazen jetty]

without my haircut dissapearing

[frozen wyvern]

My naming scheme for characters is (normal first name) (Stupid last name)

For instance, Stanley Manley, the manliest of them all

[brazen jetty]

or they made them spawn mostly on the POIs, which makes sense

[real fox]

YES

[sturdy wren]

[vague trench]

lol

[granite tusk]

dye it xoxo

[vague trench]

i love the hari dye things we can do now , cant we mix other colors too ?

[sturdy wren]

HUH

[cunning turtle]

[sturdy wren]

it worked?

[vague trench]

you entered the tis backrooms paw access

[cunning turtle]

Hmmm

[brazen jetty]

well yes it does give you free points but damn, weak trait, for real?

the guns are your only option now

and with how they nerfed ammo spawns, I doubt you can survive long enough with that

[neat saffron]

I have played with it for a very very long time since B41

And no, it's nowhere near as bad as you think it is

You can literally get rid of it in day 1 by fitness spamming in front of life and living

And even if you don't, your damage is very much acceptable.

[neat saffron]

I've survived years. If weak kicks your ass, that's a skill issue.

[cunning turtle]

Eym flexin I mean frutata

[red elm]

One of my inspirations for B42map, though this project is only until the official map gets updated. I'm in direct contact with blindcoder and he's interested in hosting a second site for B42 as the old one has become hard to maintain. So its possible B42map is here to stay

[neat saffron]

i even played with feeble many times and its really easy to get rid of

Strength traits generally are

its the -fitness traits that i avoid like the plague because just like in B41, gaining strength takes time but is consistent because nearly every action gives you XP in it
gaining Fitness is inconsistent, slow, and nieche.

[cunning turtle]

Frutata did u see my build

[neat saffron]

nope

[brazen jetty]

maybe im wrong
i'll try it and see for myself

[cunning turtle]

What are u thoughts lmao

[sturdy wren]

Fitness is lifeblood

[cunning turtle]

Fitness is

[sturdy wren]

without it you might as well be dead

[brazen jetty]

burglar isn't worth it

[neat saffron]

that you hate yourself

You already have burglar profession, why do you pick gymnast

[cunning turtle]

How Edith knows

[cunning turtle]

To maxing nimble

[neat saffron]

nimble maxxing grindset

[sturdy wren]

first point in skill quadruples the xp gain already no?

[neat saffron]

it does

[sturdy wren]

i think that should be enough

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[neat saffron]

lemme tell you a secret

If you want to further nimble maxx, replace gymnast with fast learner

[cunning turtle]

Why

[neat saffron]

at lvl 2 starting, fast learner buffs your gain more than starting with lvl 3

[cunning turtle]

I picked fast learner too

[sturdy wren]

just start with mechanic and farm electrical early

[neat saffron]

and yeah it generally isnt
The skills it adds are easy to grind (outside of nimble ig) and the trait it gives you (hotwiring) can be learnt and in an average playthrough, inevitably will, while the window thingy isnt really useful once you realize that smashing a window in is only marginally louder than a normal attack

[sturdy wren]

i only smash windows in urgency

or when there's no other way in

[brazen jetty]

nimble is good, but not for -6 points with no traits selected

[sturdy wren]

i should probably do it more

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[neat saffron]

oh yeah i overlooked it

Personally id never play with disorganized, because id go crazy, but, you do you

[cunning turtle]

Well I appreciate your suggestions

[neat saffron]

i wish i could wrap them up funnier but i woke up like, 30 minutes ago

my brains still booting up

[sturdy wren]

burglar i guess is good if you're running car crash%

even then it'd be more optimal to gamble for a key in glovebox

[granite tusk]

only -6 start whilest having two points of the most efficent combat skill is a really great deal for me

i would choose burg even if it can't hot wire at all

nimble is still hard to grind in b42

[cunning turtle]

Even in b41

[ripe nebula]

I wish weed was vanilla

[pallid hinge]

Hey that is awesome, thank you for your efforts in putting this one together, it has been super helpful for me so far! ❤️ ❤️ much love

[blazing mirage]

Hello

[vocal sentinel]

somehow able to place a crate and a tool cabinet in the same place

[neat saffron]

Outrageously drunk

Utterly shitfaced
Completely Kaboodled

[red elm]

Glad to have been able to help 😄

[blazing mirage]

@formal mango please, improve the Vehicles.

1. The acceleration is very slow have to press W a lot below 30 MPH to maintain slow speed. And the deceleration below 30 MPH is way to fast almost like breaking. So it's impossible to drive slow.

2. Steering is snappy now, not gradual smooth like before in 41. So controlling cars with messed up acceleration is not enjoyable.

3. Can't tow animal containers at all in grass or dirt.

[cunning turtle]

How many hours you got playing zomboid, sorry for asking I'm just curious

[blazing mirage]

A lot I wasn't counting but had a good time in build 41.

[cosmic yoke]

anyone know how to get into this baddie (by irvington) ? are ladders still not climbable?

[cunning turtle]

That baddie looks cool

[cosmic yoke]

lol you got there eventually

yeah! i just found it while wandering in the woods. id like to spend the night there since my characters car broke down :(

[pallid hinge]

If you are trying to maintain a consistent speed why not use cruise control?

[cunning turtle]

Have you maxxin the mechanic skill to 10?

[cunning turtle]

There has to be a way!

[blazing mirage]

That's not the point, I am just saying cars have changed now and i dnt like it. I dnt know if iam the only one feeling it.

Does Mechanic level effect driving. I guess not.

[cosmic yoke]

hmmm im gonna look and see if theres a climbing mod out yet. i dont think it is accessible in vanilla right now, but im sure it must be planned, because uh, this is a full treehouse LOL

[blazing mirage]

Y don't u build a nearby structure and try to bridge it

[cunning turtle]

I think you're the only one that are feelin it

[cosmic yoke]

my character has like 0 carpentry and i dont have any wood stuff on me lol

[cunning turtle]

I think you just used a slow car, try using a sport car

[cosmic yoke]

i got up via climbing mod and damn there's a whole house up here !!!

[sturdy wren]

today i learned you can get a deep wound by jumping off a second story window

[cunning turtle]

that is awesome 😁

[sturdy wren]

[cunning turtle]

[cunning turtle]

Cool

[pallid hinge]

nah, stitch it up! You'll be fine, just be safe till you heal up a bit

[vocal sentinel]

only way to play zomboid

[cunning turtle]

Do u like it

[pallid hinge]

That is fair - I do have to say I notice the towing being worse off than it was in B41, regardless of if you are on grass or not

[sturdy wren]

I was running from zombies

[cunning turtle]

F

[pallid hinge]

ahh

[sturdy wren]

i was unarmed and was trying to lead the horde away from a point of interest

[pallid hinge]

[cunning turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-boat-trailer-gif-13707147

[blazing mirage]

They have messed around with cars i know it. sus

[sturdy wren]

what was that towing video

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[sturdy wren]

no the zomboid video where a car just flips over when towing

[cunning turtle]

@sturdy wren do you agree with the doctor

[cosmic yoke]

i cant tow anything anymore. i largely love b42 but i havent gotten it to work with multiple different cars

[pallid hinge]

so far the key is to go under 30mph - I noticed once you hit 30+ and the RPMs get too high you just lose all momentum, happens to me with the vehicles as well

I used to love the dart cause it was fast and manuverable, and could tow anything (which is pretty silly)

now it is slower, and can't tow much of anything

[cunning turtle]

So its silly now

[pallid hinge]

what is silly is having a really good condition truck that also can't pull crap without cruise controlling to 15mph

[sturdy wren]

Is weed not vanilla

[cunning turtle]

F

[real fox]

You likely just found a shitty car , there’s alot of things pre build 42 that could cause you go to slow, tires not being filled with air ( tire pressure ) bad breaks, even if the muffler breaks it’ll attract way more zeds

[real fox]

Tire pressure on both vehicles fixed this for me when I’ve encountered this

Which used to not be the case but make sure both cares have full tire pressure when towing if your able to

[blazing mirage]

Cool I will check this out. Thanks 👍🏼

[real fox]

You can usually find tire pumps in mechanic shops or house garages or trunks of vehicles

And tire replacement on other cars or same thing as above

Engine could ( maybe? ) affect speed but idk

[hidden path]

guns unlimited has unlimited zombies

need fire...

[whole tundra]

to reeal

[cunning turtle]

You can't use fire in multiplayer

[whole tundra]

depends on the server - but yea most have it disabled

[cunning turtle]

Exactly

[visual trail]

that's why I usually run car mods, the vanilla vehicles have the horse power of one bicycle

https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/s/PGxrZCQeU1

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[visual trail]

Very important regarding crafting and what will come from Lemmy

[granite tusk]

guns limited

it hasn't got better loot even compared to surplus stores

[cunning turtle]

What do you think about the new shotgun fire system

[granite tusk]

it makes more sense i guess?

i also don't need advanced trajectory anymore

[cunning turtle]

Well, shotgun is not more easy like before for me

[granite tusk]

i just wish the reticles to be more accurate

they often point the wrong direction

well, not entirely wrong but
still very inaccurate depending on the angle

[spare breach]

You sort of have to aim infront of the zombie not right at them

For what its worth guns actually have their own systems and ballistics now

In B41 it essentially was just a modified ranged way of applying melee dmg

[granite tusk]

it just has a little bit of threshold distance calculated from the trajectory vector from what i've seen on the game's java codes
but i'd be really happy if tis could increase them a bit

[cunning turtle]

Makes sense

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-crunch-cranch-meow-cute-gif-17368992236901678436

[granite tusk]

apart from that advanced trajectory had MASSIVE hitbox

[cunning turtle]

Luna after playin zomboid pov

[granite tusk]

not sure if they're customizable on sandbox, but yeah, it was way easier even than vanilla b41 aiming

[cunning turtle]

Yeah

[granite tusk]

pz already went far from "realism" so i no longer care if systems are realistic or not

[pallid hinge]

yea I use some modded cars normally, but not running mods atm 🙂

[spare breach]

Idk it seems realistic enough
I think it's the execution of that realism that no one can agree on

...and at that point it becomes a subjective matter, so it is pointless to argue about

[silk nova]

I found pz quite realistic and i play only survival games sure some things have to be adjust but in my opinion is the most realist about surviving

[granite tusk]

it's just a video game

[silk nova]

Yeah sure that why it cannot be total realism otherwise will be kinda tedious for a lot of people

[severe egret]

For me "realism" is more about making sure the rules of the game are clear, consistent and make sense, than it is about simulating every little detail about crafting systems and such

[thorn furnace]

anyone know where i can find a fix for crafting menu too large?

[silk nova]

For me more is near the reality and more i have a challenge actually even if i love the game is still too easy, yesterday i basically built near all the new crafting stations and i am like one month on, for me it too easy

I need more pushing in looting for schematics to build the crafting stations, if i didn't pick up the right profession or traits

The animals still alive after a month so i have free food

I hope they will balance those aspects during the unstable

[severe egret]

I have absolute confidence that all the crafting and loot balance will end up fixed, balanced and engaging. What worries me is how heavily the game relies on arbitrary RNG for all of its systems, which works fine in some places, but horribly in others

[silk nova]

Rng? Like?

[real fox]

[pallid hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/nat20-d20-20sided-die-20-dnd-gif-15085902

[silk nova]

I hope so as i told u i hope in more pishing in looting at the first stage a sort of passage from our world to a post apocalyptic one, i love the fact that to built the crafting stations i need specific things like anvils and bricks and concrete, but on the other side i cannot think to craft a spinning wheel with intuition

[pallid hinge]

the smell is getting really bad

[real fox]

This was really fun to clear

Probably second peak moment for me in this game

It was already in bad condition too

Then I kinda just bonked them with metal bat and crowbar

I just have this reoccuring nightmare that the car will fail while a big ball is about to surround the car and I get swarmed lol

Lmfaooooo

My next play through depending how long I last I kinda wanna play on 16x

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

[pallid hinge]

yea I want to start x16 runs soon too

I enjoyed it a lot in B41

[real fox]

I never done it before

[sturdy wren]

5% of people remember what they read in thursdoids i think

I tried 16x once and i got a blue screen

[real fox]

Project blue screened haha

[pallid hinge]

[sturdy wren]

I have since doubled my ram so probably is doable now?

[pallid hinge]

One of the hardest parts is the start - but I think that will be easier with echo creek being a thing

[real fox]

I’m in West Point rn and it’s a nightmare on normal pop I’m afraid for high pop rn lmfao

[pallid hinge]

mmm I mean even in B42 it only uses at max 4gb of ram - but the game is far more optimized

[pallid hinge]

hahaha fair!

[sturdy wren]

Might actually have been unrelated to zomboid then

[sturdy wren]

So west point is still dangerous as fuck?

[pallid hinge]

If it happens again, make note of the BSOD error code

it might still be ram related

[sturdy wren]

I get bsods really often but like all of them have the same code of something related to amd driver

And only when starting up computer, not during a session

[pallid hinge]

And you have an older amd gpu correct?

[real fox]

peak day for this char will be intersting

[sturdy wren]

Yes I'm playing zomboid from igpu

[real fox]

i think out of all the occupations ive played burgarlar seems the most fun

[pallid hinge]

ah an igpu - what cpu is it?

[sturdy wren]

At some point in my life I will have to upgrade and I fear of that moment every day

[sturdy wren]

Intel Core i5-4200u with turbo on

8gb ram ddr3

[pallid hinge]

With how expensive GPUs have gotten I fear this for when I need to finally do an upgrade as well

[real fox]

i got the 7900xt for 600 dollars on sale

msrp i think is 900ish dollars, runs like a 4070ti

[sturdy wren]

I don't like how half the gamedev companies throw away optimisation completely due to "just upgrade" "just use dlss/fsr"

[real fox]

i mostly switched to AMD because of linux mostly tho

[sturdy wren]

My laptop is 4 years old since i got it and going strong

Needed to swap drive though because it imploded

and 4gb ram was NOT enough for anything

[pallid hinge]

yea it is over a grand here in canada now, and with it is about to become worse

[pallid hinge]

it's insulting that they even sell anything that low these days tbh

[real fox]

i feel bad for canadians in general rn, esp with the housing crisis and the guy whos responsible for that but i wont talk politics here haha

[pallid hinge]

he isn't responsible, he just made it worse - it been bad here for longer than he has been in charge (but agreed I shall refrain from saying anything more on the topic in here)

in the summer I upgraded from a 4690k to a 5700X (not the most up to date, but way better than what I was using) with 32GB of RAM which has been pretty decent so far, it's just my gpu that I didn't upgrade (still rocking my 1080)

[sturdy wren]

i mean the laptop itself was resold for like 150 bucks

[pallid hinge]

ohhh fair

[sturdy wren]

and the laptop itself apparently was manufactured 10-11 years ago

[pallid hinge]

yea I was gonna say 4200u is a 4th gen intel so it is around 2013

[sturdy wren]

i cant imagine 2013 is going to be 12 years ago soon

[real fox]

i changed settings to high blood splatter and low key the gore is brutal haha

[real fox]

real shit 1080 was and still is peak

idk how they made such a beast of a card, i know many who still rock a 1080

[pallid hinge]

The story behind getting it was pretty cool too 😄

[real fox]

HOLY SHIT

DAY ONE

[velvet egret]

nice! Looking forward to getting my hands on the expanded crafting and all. I haven’t played in a while (I’m waiting for some big content additions)

[real fox]

AND A FULL GAS BIN HOLY SHIET

[pallid hinge]

I worked for a company (NCIX) which laid me off, and then a few years later I was working for a small e-waste recycling company and NCIX went bankrupt and we were contracted to clean out one of their stores, it was awful. As we were cleaning it out and sorting through everything we found an EVGA 980ti that was burnt out... We contacted EVGA and they said sorry we don't have any more of those cards, here is a brand new 1080 - which I bought for 700 from the company, this was the height of the first Crypto mining boom where getting a card was near impossible especially at that price.

[pallid hinge]

EZ for this lady

[pallid hinge]

the heck lol

rngesus is with you

[real fox]

The chances of finding that there is really crazy, and especially around that time when you said crypto mining was blowing up, i remember my first ever pc was a gaming laptop and that motherfucker RAN HOT AS FUCK, lmfao, was a gaming laptop person up until the pandemic, because this was around the time my work became remote, and going forward i was like well sheieet im not traveling anymore i should save up for a pc, and my first graphics card was a 2080ti i think, my laptops usually had a laptop version of the 1080ti chip

i kinda miss the gaming laptop days, if i ever wanted a monitor instead of laptop screen id just hook up DP or hdm, and then travel n game

but low key desktop is fire, just a chonky bastard

and free heater during winter lmfao

[pallid hinge]

yea those gaming laptops are insane, the heatsinks on them are so tiny, tiny fans, and then the first part to fail 9 times out of 10 is the gpu (the whole reason people buy them)

I heard they are slightly better now, but still I wouldn't recommend them to anyone

[real fox]

i recently got laid off man i hate this xD im going to college tho next year for either software engineering or cybersecurity im not entirely sure ive made up my mind, ive thought about become a server monkey since i already like linux

im just so tired of working IT helpdesk hell lmfao

[pallid hinge]

getting laid off feels so bad 😦

[real fox]

my company didnt even give me a severance package

[pallid hinge]

100% fair, people teat you like crap and the pay is awful

[real fox]

they were just like yah we broke we overhired ermmm BYEEEE 💀

[pallid hinge]

[real fox]

i also just thought about working at a pizza place, making pizza for a living sounds really chill

[pallid hinge]

I love making pizza!

[neat saffron]

have you ever considered using cruise control instead

Also, funfact, the cars didnt actually change at all, they just fixed performance so much that they now drive as they were intended to

[woven beacon]

imo the ammo nerfs are nowhere near as bad as the gun spawn nerfs

you can find plenty of ammo but not the guns to use them

[pallid hinge]

That's what I said! lol

cruise control is great

[neat saffron]

its a shame the game doesnt really tell you about it

you have to either be told of its existence or stumble upon it

[pallid hinge]

just like 90% of the systems in the game

[neat saffron]

true

most people still dont know that you can interact with the stones on the ground in B42

or the fact that you can actually pick up the sticks and logs

Or cut branches from trees with an axe to get saplings ( to then make long sticks out of )

[blazing mirage]

oooooooooo iamma try that fo sure

[glacial cape]

I knew about the interactable & mineable stones but I didn't know about the branches & saplings

[neat saffron]

you can pick up logs off of the ground

and remove the tree remains / stumps with an axe to get scrap wood

[glacial cape]

I don't use spears anyways but if I ever find a use for long sticks that'll be useful

[blazing mirage]

Hey I head that character we see in newspaper 📰 they exist for real in the game. Is it ???

[neat saffron]

you can make very cheap fences with them

[glacial cape]

Yeah pretty sure this was a thing in build 41

[neat saffron]

v. good for animal husbandry

[real fox]

on the topic of vehiecles how do yall go about preventing destroying your car haha i always end up ramming into something or making a bad turn or just bad driving in general haha

[neat saffron]

I dont

Theres a thousand cars on the map, and im one person

[real fox]

skill issue so badddddd o my end haha

[neat saffron]

nyoom

[real fox]

LMFAO REAL

[neat saffron]

I usually dont have the same car for longer than a few weeks at best

[glacial cape]

There's always more deers to be hunted with a car

[neat saffron]

they really gotta fix the fact that lightly tapping a deer makes it immediately die of a cardiac arrest

[glacial cape]

Maintaining cars is even more of a pain now that car wrecks only give 20 welding xp even with a level 1 skill book

Like damn welding just does not feel worth to level

[pallid hinge]

B41 x16 runs taught me how to be patient and maneuver around hordes

[neat saffron]

Have you considered speccing into the traits you want to level quickly instead

[glacial cape]

And propane is bugged

[neat saffron]

They nerfed skill gain with no levels, but buffed skill gain with starting levels by quite alot

[glacial cape]

Is there a trait for welding? As far as I know there's only the welder occupation

[neat saffron]

I dont think so, i dont know, i havent welded anything since blacksmithing

seems very superfluous now in all honesty

[blazing mirage]

What is the channel timings in life and living?

[neat saffron]

theyre listed on the Wiki that i know for sure

[pallid hinge]

6am 12pm 6pm

[blazing mirage]

Iam playing and I just watched 3 together within 4 PM to 6 PM

[glacial cape]

I do wanna get into blacksmithing but it's gonna be quite the pain without starting levels

I've already levelled carving up a good level as well to make long handles

Haven't been on in days though I've caught the knox virus 💀

[neat saffron]

Barbed WIre Long Handles are the baseball bats of the Future

( speaking of which, i am negatively surprised by the fact we cant just carve straightup cudgels / bats )

[glacial cape]

I wanna make a mace I wonder if it's considered short blunt or long

[neat saffron]

Short

then again idk if you can slap it on a long handle

[severe egret]

Yeah i swear they made it easier to catch them, and not miss them. I still manage to miss them though lol

[glacial cape]

Yeah it's weird maybe something like those at a higher level to balance it out but we should be able to

[neat saffron]

it would be cool to have the option to

[neat saffron]

i miss my beloved 2-by-sword

[glacial cape]

If they're giving us the ability to make swords why not bats & cudgels

[real fox]

its so silly lmfao

[neat saffron]

men will live like this and see no issue

[pallid hinge]

😁

[glacial cape]

There's a recipe for shortsword I got

[real fox]

im a woman and low key being a tomboy i lived like that once in my apartment in vegas when i stilled lived there lmfao

first month was so fun lmfao

[glacial cape]

That is peak living space

[neat saffron]

its not the same

( the 2-by-sword is a weapon from Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead and fills the Long Blade nieche as a starting weapon. It has, absolutely 0 edge and is an entirely blunt tool being a stick/board whittled into a sword shape. its explicit purpose is to serve as a weapon you can train long blade with until you get or make a proper, actual sword )

[pallid hinge]

Oh yea that reminds me, I found a mod you will enjoy https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3393344787&searchtext=weapon

[neat saffron]

perfection

[pallid hinge]

cause we were talking about it the other day

[neat saffron]

theyre so stupidly simple it still hurts my brain the fact they need any recipes at all

[glacial cape]

Fair enough I get it there's not many great early options to train long blade

[neat saffron]

going to need a recipe soon not to drown while taking a bath or how to eat food

[glacial cape]

Compared to the plethora of short blunt, long blunt & even short bladed weapons now

I get it does kinda make sense that Axes & Long blade do get less considering their high dps

[neat saffron]

honestly i do believe the 2-by-sword would be a great weapon in project zomboid

[glacial cape]

Maybe we can carve a wooden sword lol

[pallid hinge]

speaking of, anyone mess with short blade much? I kinda fell in love with the near the end of B41 (great in x16 runs cause there is so many and very little exertion)

but they seem to break so frequently in B42

like far more than in B41

[neat saffron]

yes, they give you .4 muscle strain per swing in B42 on vanilla settings

Their durability is unchanged, actually, but the sharpness bonus/malus is heavy

[glacial cape]

They were always kinda fragile having points in maintenance helped a lot for my short blade in b41

[neat saffron]

and gaining maintenance points ought to be the priority of every person not using exclusively blunt weapons

[glacial cape]

Short blunt hammers though...

Handle just snaps off leaving you with a hammer head

[neat saffron]

its easier to get it now too because you got maintenance books and sharpening a blade gives you a very decent chunk of xp if you have levels specced into it

[neat saffron]

a near indestructible hammer head you can glue onto a new handle, yes

[glacial cape]

Which for some reason takes 2-3 carving & the hammer head can break eventually

[neat saffron]

personally i have embraced the Long Blunt Superiority

No maintenance required and making them is piss easy

Take any long Handle / Wooden Rod, add nails, done.

Serviceable weapon acquired, and bonus points if you get the recipe book to make barbed wire with because thats even cheaper and stronger once you can make the wrapped weapons

[glacial cape]

I prefer short blunt even more now that muscle strain is a mechanic

[real fox]

they break really fast for me tbh

[pallid hinge]

maybe it just didn't feel as bad cause I was getting hunting knives more consistently than I am currently

[glacial cape]

Also my beloved nightstick is repairable still not found a lead pipe though

[real fox]

i pretty much only use them for stealth kills rn

[neat saffron]

why not just use a steel rod instead

[glacial cape]

I have been just I think lead is still the best pipe

Or ive been using the tire irons

[neat saffron]

the tire iron is the new crowbar

Sturdy, can pry, and can be used single handedly so you can use it with a light. Only drawback is kind of mediocre damage but with enough levels thats not an issue

[glacial cape]

Doesn't feel as durable as a crowbar though

Still pretty good though

[neat saffron]

it actually gives you more maintenance xp than using a crowbar

i think that scales now with how fragile a weapon is

[real fox]

peak gaming

[glacial cape]

Even better you can negate the flashlight drawback if you find those webbings in a surplus store or from a military zombies although I've heard they're rare

[neat saffron]

but dont quote me on that, i havent tested that properly

[real fox]

UGH STEAM RECORD IS ASSS

[glacial cape]

Post apocalyptic raves go crazy

[neat saffron]

i never find any and honestly, its a bit silly webbing is required to be found, you could make a decent replacement one with some belts, fabric and time

[real fox]

anyone got recording software besides obs that records gameplay similair to steam

[glacial cape]

I agree with some tailoring levels you should have the ability to make your own

[neat saffron]

my survivor cannot possibly stitch a small flashlight pouch / sling to their jacket, thats absurd

[glacial cape]

It is only the initial crafting stage though like they've said in the blog post & lemmy pointed so who knows at worst there's always mods

[neat saffron]

burlap is the natural enemy

Why must it be rare and also kind of super bad

[glacial cape]

Probably will be an option if they're wanting to gear towards being able to make basically anything you'd otherwise loot

[pallid hinge]

only other things would be shadowplay (nvidia only) or Relive (amd)

you could setup obs to work like steam recording/shadowplay/relive but it is also a pain in the ass

[glacial cape]

So with that logic some form of flashlight belt attachment or whatever should be able to be crafted, guess we'll see though the scope of b42 is huge

[neat saffron]

authentic z had bags with flaslight attachment spots and whatnot

a bunch of mods did so its inevitable thatll be (re)added very soon

[glacial cape]

I remember my favourite part of authentic z

The backpack attachments made you feel like an actual survivor and were helpful for keeping tools handy & reducing weight

[pallid hinge]

and they don't stop coming, and they don't stop coming, and they don't stop coming, and they don't stop coming, and they don't stop coming...

[glacial cape]

Speaking of which anyone found multi tools yet? They're amazing

[tawny orbit]

b42 is growing 50 mod / per day

[pallid hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-song-they-dont-stop-comming-dance-gif-13758880

[native spear]

How can I do early level carving from 0? Is it just making stakes or is there other stuff to level it up?

[glacial cape]

I haven't tested the xp rates or if there's a difference in the level of items you craft but I was going from small handles to spoons & then forks I'd assume there is a difference in xp per level of item but idk haven't properly tested it

You only really need level 3 carving anyways to make long handles, I didn't see any point in levelling it further personally

[native spear]

alright thank you

[real fox]

UGHHHH stupid vdieo format

[pallid hinge]

🤣 classic

[real fox]

AMD MAKE IT MP4

a file that big should just embed, stupid discord

UGH IT IS MP4

DISCORD STAPPPP

UDJIshdjkasjkadhasjkdasasdas

i hate discord

[severe egret]

Just got the craziest spawn. 3 survivor houses nearby. Already got an annotated map

[pallid hinge]

that is awesome 😄 also very lucky for B42 it seems

[scenic ingot]

why cant i pick up grindstone?

[real fox]

i think amd anti lag causes issues with steam record

enjoy peak gaming part 2 lol

WAIT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT DID NOT WORK

[scenic ingot]

looks like autistic kid playing w light

[pallid hinge]

🤣

[real fox]

WIAT WHY IS IT LAGGING FOR ME BUT NOT YALL HUHHHH

OH MY GOD MY BRAIN IS DISCORD BEING WEIRD FOR ME

[scenic ingot]

look up your recording app, they cause lag almost all the time

[real fox]

its frozen for me haha

[pallid hinge]

What do you mean lagging - the recording themselves or the clipping

[real fox]

but fine locally, so the recording is normal locally uploaded its shit and doesnt show any video just audio for me lol

[pallid hinge]

for me the clipping is pretty laggy at times

[pallid hinge]

a lot of the time I will use davinci resolve to edit cause it is slightly less laggy

[real fox]

adoes it look like this for yall?

[glacial cape]

The ability to dismantle or pick up crafting stations probably just isn't implemented yet, you could try a sledge if you want to remove it or use debug mode to replace your current one and move it to where you want

[scenic ingot]

oh damn we see light flickering

[real fox]

SO ITS NOT FROZEN FOR YALL?

[scenic ingot]

like we see actual movements and not just audio

[real fox]

LMFAOOOOOOO DISCORD IM GOING TOO

[pallid hinge]

are you using hardware acceleration in discord?

[scenic ingot]

yea that seems to be discord issue ig

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/racoon-screaming-aaaaaaaaaaaaa-rage-gif-27241414

[pallid hinge]

also try relogging on discord lol

electron do be like that sometimes

[real fox]

LMFAO I DID NOT NOW IT WORKS

IDK WHY THAT WASNT ENABLE BY DEFUALT LMFAO I LEGIT THOUGHT DISCORD WAS GASLIGHTING ME

[pallid hinge]

🤣

[glacial cape]

Gaslighting isn't real wdym

[pallid hinge]

cause it was!

[real fox]

lmfaoooo

doing pushups while watching woodcraft is peak

[spare breach]

me when i have 5 in carpentry 4 in maintenance and 2-3 in most weapon skills but the improvised weapon crafting still isnt autolearned for me

[real fox]

me when no zombie escort with bunny ears and garter hasnt spawn so no drip

[spare breach]

they fkd the survivor house spawn rates im sure, and i had no idea until after already having started a save

[real fox]

they should add a anemic trait so i can fully self insert myself in the game lmfao

[pallid hinge]

sigh so many zombies left I am tempted to go loud

[real fox]

someone say LOUD?????

[glacial cape]

Me when the:

[pallid hinge]

[glacial cape]

There's always the answer of Hey there's a mod for that!

[spare breach]

recipe magazines should unlock the recipe for you sooner but only by like 1 level

the fact none of the improvised weapons are autolearned for me so far makes me think they set the requirements brutally high

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/aesthetic-baddie-love-vintage-gif-20363989

[spare breach]

way too high than it should be

[glacial cape]

There is autolearning recipes in b42

[spare breach]

you dont need to be a master carpenter and a weapon maintenance and usage expert to be able to make something thats essentially just a piece of metal stuck to a wooden stick

[glacial cape]

I just dunno what the requirements are

[spare breach]

yes, what im saying is that theyre autolearned at skill levels that are way too high

[real fox]

HUH????

[spare breach]

my carpentry is at 5 and maintenance is at 4, by that point i'd expect atleast something

[pallid hinge]

well that ammo lockup is disappointing hopefully there is more in the main store?

[real fox]

SPIFFO MENTIONED

[spare breach]

i can only make a nuts & bolts metal bat (i need the bat for that) and a nail spiked weapon

[real fox]

HUHHHHH????????????????

[glacial cape]

Fair enough seeing some way to view what you autolearn each level would be nice

[spare breach]

but thats something you could already make by default in b41 if you had nails

[real fox]

BLADDER PROBLEMS??

[spare breach]

the only difference in B42 is that this time you can also use nails on stuff like broken handles/branches or long handles

[glacial cape]

Although I guess if they go through with the tech tree they've touched upon in their blogs maybe the recipe & magazine's won't matter

[flat phoenix]

Auto learning recipes based on skill levels?

[spare breach]

yes if your skill level is high enough some crafting recipes are auto-learned

but what im saying is that you wont autolearn like 99% of them because the requirements are unreasonably high

My character is already pretty competent in terms of overall skill

[flat phoenix]

Is that how it is now or do you mean that’s how you want it to be?

[spare breach]

that's how it is now

[flat phoenix]

Gotcha, looks like we’ll be getting some exciting stuff regarding the crafting soon with the updates.

[pallid hinge]

I am pretty excited about the future 🙂

[real fox]

my thoughts are to semi nerf soda, and buff caffiene pills

[pallid hinge]

semi?

[real fox]

caffeine pills do like nothing lmfao whilst soda does SO MUCH

[spare breach]

full auto nerf it

[cunning turtle]

No

[spare breach]

i downed a single 300ml can of diet coke and i didnt need to sleep for a day

[real fox]

fricken crazy

[glacial cape]

Me who makes myself a cup of coffee before I go out

[spare breach]

that mf has more caffeine in it than the entire caffeine pills package

[real fox]

its the new icecream lmfao but even better lmfao

[glacial cape]

Butter & milk needs nerfed as well and farming needs fixed/adjust the growing times

[pallid hinge]

definitely buff caffiene pills - but a can of coke only has like 30mg of caffiene in it

irl

[glacial cape]

Good thing we can't go into cardiac arrest in zomboid or die from too much caffeine intake

[pallid hinge]

yet

[glacial cape]

Probably should though considering we can OD

[real fox]

is there a hotkey for this

[glacial cape]

[spare breach]

down a can of diet cola, pop beta blockers and go on a rampage

100 dead zombies later your heart will explode and you fucking die

[pallid hinge]

been trying not to abuse pop

[real fox]

when they put the coke in the coke

[glacial cape]

They wanted to tone down the terminator style, adds more things to make us feel even more like the terminator(yes I know it's not intended)

[scenic ingot]

ive learned that yesterday, caffeine even has a disclaimer while soda doesnt

im in a huge chicken farm, what can i cook out of the eggs?

[glacial cape]

Omelette

[scenic ingot]

i need milk right?

[glacial cape]

I don't think so

[spare breach]

hmm i sure wonder what happens when i eat a entire package of painkillers then down it with some whiskey and beer before taking sleeping pills

https://tenor.com/view/eepy-high-high-af-sleepy-waking-up-gif-18353695585999709905

[pallid hinge]

who puts milk in their omelettes!?

[scenic ingot]

i think everyone

[spare breach]

i dont

[glacial cape]

Just a frying pan should be enough

[pallid hinge]

I know people do it for scrambled eggs, but not omelettes

[scenic ingot]

perhaps youre talking about fried eggs or scrambled eggs, one of the key omelette ingredients is literally milk

[real fox]

THE ALARM HAPPENED AGAIN LMFAO I LOVE THIS SETTING FOR ZOMBIES

[glacial cape]

I'm with ecn on this one who puts milk in with it, I've never heard of this before either

[scenic ingot]

just looked it up too

[pallid hinge]

I love it too, especially great on the first week in a city - just chaos everywhere

[glacial cape]

It's great for pulling zombies away as well but I love the chaos of me triggering the alarms myself and having that oh sshit moment happen

It's less fun when the zombies take that way from me

[pallid hinge]

looking up omelette recipes now

none of these have milk as an ingredient

[real fox]

illegal

[glacial cape]

Some recipes do though not everyone is the same

But still first time I've heard about omelette with milk

[pallid hinge]

now when I search for "milk in omelette" it does say that some people do put it in to bulk it out so that there is more omelette

so it is a thing, but I looked at like 5 recipes and none of them had it in it

[real fox]

holy shit this ladies spine is so fucky haha

[pallid hinge]

I have never done it myself, I just find this whole thing quite interesting, sorry

[pallid hinge]

and I have made many a omelette in my days

[glacial cape]

Maybe it's an American recipe idk just guessing at this point

[scenic ingot]

The ingredients needed for a french omelette are quite simple: eggs, butter, milk or heavy cream, salt and pepper, and some herbs. I think it depends on the country then

yeah ive seen quite a big amount of recipes without milk too

[pallid hinge]

must be country dependent for sure

[glacial cape]

Or it's just chef/recipe bias where people add an ingredient to their dish or recipe and die by it swearing it's the best thing ever

[pallid hinge]

maybe 😄

[real fox]

irish butter and eggs with sautéed onion and jalepenos n cholula hot sauce

[glacial cape]

Most likely just a country thing though

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-crunch-cranch-meow-cute-gif-17368992236901678436

[scenic ingot]

ive seen one omelette recipe with whiskey and sugar lmfao

[glacial cape]

I mean I do the same I live and breathe peri peri sauce over mayonnaise any day of the week

[pallid hinge]

sugar

[real fox]

I FOUND THE WEED BASEMENT

[pallid hinge]

so unnecessary lol

[real fox]

LOS DRUGAS

[scenic ingot]

i should try cooking it out of eggnog tho

[glacial cape]

I'm more concerned over a sweet omelette than the whiskey

[pallid hinge]

right? lolll

[scenic ingot]

please tell me this house has hidden cash stash too

[real fox]

lemme see

GRANDPA WAS COOKING

[scenic ingot]

oh btw ive found a house that had around 300-400 toilet rolls inside of it, every possible container was filled with toilet paper

[glacial cape]

Free fire fuel

[pallid hinge]

The covid house! it has been a thing since 2020

it is a reference to when everyone bought up the TP

[scenic ingot]

wait you could find one in B41?

[glacial cape]

Ye

[pallid hinge]

yea

it used to be pretty common, and then they made it kinda rare

[glacial cape]

It was really funny finding one because you expected a survivor house but nope all just toilet paper

[scenic ingot]

oh damn first time when i actaully find one, someone must be shittin a lot

[glacial cape]

Lol maybe diarrhea was a symptom of the knox virus for some

[neat saffron]

youre rich dude its the new age currency

[scenic ingot]

if it started from spiffo burgers then theres a high chance

[neat saffron]

metro has bullets, fallout has bottle caps, PZ has TP

[scenic ingot]

shitcoin

[glacial cape]

Start handing out sheets of them as thin as schools do

[scenic ingot]

not the see through toilet paper

[neat saffron]

why TP makes a great currency in the post apocalypse:

Everyone wants it
Everyone needs it
Itd be a pain in the ass to produce now ( pun unintended )

[real fox]

my goal is repair this pupper

its in 11 percent condition

hell nah dont waste your time

Gonna have to start using paper and getting paper cuts wiping 💀

[real fox]

BUT ITS SO NICE LOOKING

[scenic ingot]

i do like this style of car but that gray looks boring

[real fox]

just like me fr

WE FEAST

[scenic ingot]

find something more flashy, this looks like a car that you can hardly see on a road due to its color and more reasons to crash into nearby trees

[pallid hinge]

I want some IRL

[real fox]

WE FEAST AGAIN!!!!

[pallid hinge]

also in game cause I am getting too skinny

[neat saffron]

to think that one tub has my entire allowed IRL Calorie count in a day

[real fox]

samesies

[scenic ingot]

yet its still hard to gain weight in PZ

[neat saffron]

average human being needs baseline 1.5kcal to do... anything. basic healthy functioning, really. This is what a person burns even if they literally were just vegetating away in bed perfectly motionless

[scenic ingot]

i need to try fishing, someone told me that its one of the best ways to gain weight atm

[scenic ingot]

mmm bedrotting

[neat saffron]

Anything above that intake in any one given day, ought to cause you to gain weight

[glacial cape]

Just like me fr fr

[pallid hinge]

Burning calories by playing PZ

[neat saffron]

your brain actually uses up a surprisingly high amount of calories while playing videogames

... its not much, ultimately, its just surprisingly much in comparison to what one would expect.

[pallid hinge]

yea intermittent fasting + cutting out pop + video games is how I dropped 60 pounds in 2015/2016

worth

[glacial cape]

Then pz brought you back

[neat saffron]

if youd be gaming for an entire day youre likely to have ya brain end up using between 300-500 calories depending on your size and the activity / game in question

[blazing coral]

is there a search focus for clay? is it under stone?

[neat saffron]

sadly, no

[pallid hinge]

Still within my ideal weight 😎

[neat saffron]

i find it very sad that the rivers on the map dont spawn or just have clay deposits

[glacial cape]

Nice 😎

[scenic ingot]

what do chickens feed on

[neat saffron]

Kentucky's soil is very rich in clay

[neat saffron]

i think atm everything feeds on animal feed ( kibble ) and grass/hay

[glacial cape]

I think it some point they want to include something like that excavating clay from river deposits

[scenic ingot]

but i dont need to cut grass manually for chickens? they can eat it as cows and sheeps do, right?

[neat saffron]

outside of winter, yea

[glacial cape]

Oh chickens graze too?

Figured it was only cows, sheep's & pigs

[real fox]

i want bros drip

[glacial cape]

Mhmm lead

[scenic ingot]

i lived nearby that gas station

turns out these aren't zombies - they are humans with severe brain rot from leaded gasoline

[scenic ingot]

had a house with a pool and a basement, nice place

[sturdy wren]

+thin skinned, is this good?

[granite tusk]

nothing seems like it changed from b41, so yeah

free trait

[sturdy wren]

no as in general build

[glacial cape]

Are you sp or mp? Also which build ver

[cunning turtle]

Sp I guess

[sturdy wren]

this is the build 42 channel so you would assume b42 and it does not have mp

[glacial cape]

Cause I would say replace fast reader with slow reader & unless you're planning on doing a lot of foraging/wilderness stuff and are building around it herbalist isn't needed you could loot a magazine for that

[granite tusk]

having spare trait points to spend on positives are always better so yeah I guess?

[cunning turtle]

Short sighted free trait no cap, also how was your run

[sturdy wren]

i have literally never found a herbalist magazine

[cunning turtle]

Why your pfp is so funny

[glacial cape]

I don't know what your loot settings are, but I don't think you need herbalist unless you're planning on foraging a lot

[real fox]

im too much of a pussy to take thin skinned

[sturdy wren]

because it's jolly saint smoking a blunt

[cunning turtle]

I thought you had big BALLS

[cunning turtle]

Makes sense

[sturdy wren]

from my experience thin skinned literally does nothing, just dont get hit bit

[granite tusk]

fucked up
I'll try it again on split screen soon enough with my friend

[glacial cape]

True I basically treat zomboid as a no hit run if I get hit high chances are it's already over anyways

[cunning turtle]

[real fox]

I might start streaming project zomboid

since i have free time the next few week lmfao

[neat saffron]

literally me fr :3

[sturdy wren]

and what could i get with the 8 free points

[glacial cape]

Gl most I do is just stream moments to my friends

[cunning turtle]

F, can u do the bug against sprinters in b42?

[glacial cape]

If you get rid off herbalist & and add slow reader?

[granite tusk]

no chance

[sturdy wren]

yes that is where the 8 free points come fro

[glacial cape]

Maybe take one of the fitness traits

Since fitness is just as important as strength and idk how far 5 fitness gets you in terms of combat especially in b42 where it feels like I'm getting tired easier

[real fox]

i made borger

[sturdy wren]

fitness is theoretically more improtant than strength

[remote bear]

Thin Skinned is such a good trait ong

[sturdy wren]

what the fuck is a belly button dangle?

[sturdy wren]

there is 0 reason why it's +8

[real fox]

jewlery you can loot from zambies

[sturdy wren]

is hunter the only trait for sneaking? lame

also why doesn't hunter have tracking?

[glacial cape]

Idk what other traits to suggest since I'm not too sure on what build/goal you've got set in mind for your run

Are you just looking for a generalist build?

[sturdy wren]

im looking to last more than like 2 weeks at most

so yeah i'd suppose so

[glacial cape]

Yeah then basically what you've got now is fine I would suggest grabbing cats eyes or else good luck seeing outside in the dark and maybe grab brawler for the long blunt bonus if you want to combine the combat boost gymnast with nimble gives you with a weapon skill

Idk if you have fast learner yet though that one is a must

Although if you're doing long blunt and axes might wanna look into getting higher fitness as those weapon types tire you out quickly

[sturdy wren]

uhhuh

[fossil vector]

Hey i want to craft the fire bomb on B42 but it seems like i need to learn a recipe. How do i do that ?

[sturdy wren]

magazine

most likely

[fossil vector]

Damn needing to find a random magazine to craft it is gonna be harsh

[sturdy wren]

that's like half the things in the entire game

[glacial cape]

Really hoping we lose the magazine & skill book reliance at some point

Or they find some alternative already in the right direction with auto learn

[sturdy wren]

i mean you are now able to operate generators at elec 3

[glacial cape]

Yeah that's what I mean idk if it's all but some recipes are locked behind skill requirements

Something like reaching a certain level in foraging or by testing a certain amount of poison berries/mushrooms(that one would probably kill you tbh at least the mushrooms) to gain herbalist as a trait would be cool

You can survive one full poison berry without weak stomach can't say the same for mushrooms

Never try the poison gamble with mushrooms you will always lose

[real fox]

is this cabin of the woods?

[glacial cape]

Not sure but watch out it doesn't have 6000 zombies like Ben's cabin does

[sturdy wren]

😭

[real fox]

LMFAOOO????

[glacial cape]

Oh is this the time period where tipping wasn't the only method of paying employees

[real fox]

👁️ never seen this type of zambie before

[sturdy wren]

doesnt zomboid take place in like 1600s?

[glacial cape]

I've found new military zombies carrying m16's around doe valley military surplus store

[sturdy wren]

where a dollar could buy you a laser guided missile launcher

[glacial cape]

No it's 1993 I'm pretty sure

[sturdy wren]

same thing

[glacial cape]

Wait you're being sarcastic are you?

[cunning turtle]

Can relate

[real fox]

ERMMMM

WHY THIS BASEMENT LOOK WEIRD???? LIKE HUHHH???? GOONING BASEMENT?????

[cunning turtle]

I think Edith is high rn look at his pfp

[real fox]

NO TV

[cunning turtle]

Sus

[blazing coral]

I mean that's pretty good. Do you think they offer coverage for dangerous working conditions? You know, with the zombie customers and all

[sturdy wren]

i think i'm onto something
and none of it is legal

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[sturdy wren]

is there a bigger crime in zomboid than losing your cool hat

[real fox]

NO NO I MOSTLY MEANT THE SASS PART HAHA NO TENAGERS OR SAS!!!!

[cunning turtle]

Losing your sunglasses

[sturdy wren]

i wonder how fitness 9 compares to fitness 5

[cunning turtle]

A lot

[granite tusk]

There's even adult film set basements

I've seen it

[cunning turtle]

You've seen too much

[granite tusk]

Trust me I'm 100% sure

[cunning turtle]

I trust you

[granite tusk]

Huge double bed with a film camera and red-ish lighting

[glacial cape]

Sounds like general DIY tutorial videos to me, Dean has to set the mood for the ladies right?

[sturdy wren]

why are zombies straight up dead silent half the time

[glacial cape]

Been playing too much splinter cell or something

The real stealth buff was to the zombies

[vapid trail]

virtual insanity room

[real fox]

SPEAKING OF DEAD SILENT LOL

[sturdy wren]

preparing a bowl of cereal uses the entire box of cereal

[real fox]

UGH STEAM I HATE YOU LMFAOOOO

[sturdy wren]

which is like -40 hunger right?

[real fox]

i might have to stick with amd maybe but i hate how it records the video

[sturdy wren]

a bowl of cereal is only -8 hunger

[real fox]

basically been scavanging and opened the door to a pitch silent house and then like 15 zombies came out lmfao killed them all was epic

[sturdy wren]

damn

[remote bear]

if you go into the game files you can find HottieZ art

[cunning turtle]

No clip = cap

[real fox]

IT LITERALLY WONT SHOW YOU

[cunning turtle]

I think I saw a picture of it here

[sturdy wren]

wacky shit

[sturdy wren]

steam had an error when recording or something?

[real fox]

it justs weirdly laggy in some parts but some parts fine????

[real fox]

here even tho steam fucked up

[glacial cape]

May I ask how you're overheated?

[real fox]

too much clothes maybe

[sturdy wren]

apparently 1 scratch is all it takes

unlucky : (

[real fox]

SHEEIITT FIND ANOTHER GOOD CAR

[glacial cape]

Might want to be careful about that you can end up with a lower attack speed & movement speed debuff and you get tired/thirsty quicker

[real fox]

WITH A KEY IN IT LETS GOOOOO REEEE

[glacial cape]

Prime example of why I usually play with bites only dying to chance is not fun

[sturdy wren]

i mean bites only is still chance though no?

[glacial cape]

Bite is guaranteed 100%

[sturdy wren]

you're not guaranteed to get bitten though

[glacial cape]

I mean infection chance not defense

[cunning turtle]

Not bad, have you played in B41 multiplayer before?

[glacial cape]

Like scratch is 7%, laceration 25% & bite is 100% infection mortality

[sturdy wren]

coulda been worse

[cunning turtle]

Bite is a insta run delete

[glacial cape]

Ye

When I usually die I tend to make new worlds anyways

[subtle tendon]

very real

[cunning turtle]

Gorge the third can relate

[glacial cape]

Unless it's MP I don't see the need to continue on the same SP save

[subtle tendon]

nah fr i dont want to level up my guy after 30 days

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[glacial cape]

That tends to be the stage I become a house hermit

[spare breach]

i already died in my world once due to the combat stance being way more sluggish than it used to be in B41 and since i didnt know this it seemed BS enough for me to just go into debug and give everything back to my new character so i could continue playing without worries

[cunning turtle]

Ohh that's cheating

[spare breach]

the next time i die it better be from something i fully anticipated

[glacial cape]

That's fine play how you want

[subtle tendon]

i found a horse carriage and it had like 9 rabbits

[glacial cape]

I died once to my screen not tabbing back in properly during a helicopter event so I just used a save back up

[subtle tendon]

there was -42 space in there

[real fox]

i think i found the reason why its bugging out

im playing on a higher refresh rate than i am recording, recording is 60, im playing on 160

[sturdy wren]

ew

[cunning turtle]

How can u anticipate if a zombie bite you in the neck behind you and you didn't realize the zombie was there

[sturdy wren]

can we go back to 24hz monitors

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[cunning turtle]

Did u active the vertical synchronization

[real fox]

yes

i survived invasion lol

[spare breach]

thats different. I.e. if i hear/otherwise notice something is walking up behind me and im too stupid to do something about it fast enough and die because of that, then i take full responsibility. But back when i got eaten up by a zombie horde, i wasn't fully familiarised with the new combat stance inertia/responsivity

[cunning turtle]

What a responsible person

[sturdy wren]

combat changed outside of muscle strain? what?

[spare breach]

not much, but compared to B41 it seems more sluggish

when i was to turn around and make some distance between the zombies following me theres a noticeable delay that can get you killed if youre not careful

[sturdy wren]

are you sure you werent just playing modded because i have literally noticed 0 difference

[spare breach]

i didnt have this problem in B41. And no this is vanilla

[cunning turtle]

Don't take Edith to seriously, he's high rn look at his pfp

[sturdy wren]

was that literally not there before

[spare breach]

yes but it was more responsive

[glacial cape]

I highly doubt it but maybe some trait/skill changes impacts the turning in combat stance like nimble?

Would've thought rotation speed was the same as it was in b41 with nimble having no impact on it

[spare breach]

It really seems to me turning in combat is now slower/less responsive

[sturdy wren]

i swear to god mulraugh has like 2 spawning spots

[spare breach]

either way, now i know to be more careful

[real fox]

feast

[glacial cape]

It's definitely slower with muscle strain I find my self having to rest more often unless I want to tire myself out

Or maybe I'm just crazy

[glacial cape]

Butter as seasoning? W

[spare breach]

if you have decent weapons and a few levels in your appropriate weapon skill it's not so bad. But then again my muscle strain multiplier is set at like 0.5

I like having it but i dont want to be made completely powerless after killing 10 zombies

not to mention true muscle strain would be setting in several hours if not a day later. Not almost immediately after physical activity

[sturdy wren]

i think they ramped up exhaustion yes

[sturdy wren]

why are you in extreme pain, and thirsty

[real fox]

i survived a invasion lol

[spare breach]

What exactly is an invasion

[real fox]

muscle strain

TLDR triggered a house alarm nearby, and then a zombie triggered another one near my crib , they swarmed to the noise

[sturdy wren]

i cant imagine what would cause an invasion except like, heli

[glacial cape]

One thing pz & rimworld players have in common, pushing their character/pawns to the absolute limit for no reason

[real fox]

ruh oh

lemme just not follow that lmfao

[glacial cape]

Still waiting for expanded heli events

[sturdy wren]

i'm kill 1 zombie and out of nowhere 9 more zombies come out hutning me down
