Build 42 Unstable Out Now

[sturdy wren]

hearing set to random by default is really wacky

[glacial cape]

That explains a lot for me I knew about random shambles speed

[sturdy wren]

engaging with zombies is dangerous because it only brings more

and a lot of zombies are impossible to deal with at once without guns because of the current exhaustion mechanics

[glacial cape]

I kinda like the difficulty increase it slows down the pace & stops people from becoming terminators slaying entire towns plus speedrunning every big poi in the first week

[sturdy wren]

i also do like it but half the time it's the most frustrating shit ever

[glacial cape]

They did nerf the muscle strain and the way I see it is if you don't like it or want it a bit easier on yourself you could always tweak the settings

It's still brutal for new players though

[sturdy wren]

biggest issues with zombies at the moment is visibility issues and shove constantly shoving the zombie farther away from you causing you to get bitten

Like genuinely half the time zombies are just straight up invisible because??????

unless trees and chairs are supposed to completely block vision

and i feel like back visibility got cut too deep because i genuinely cant see them unless they're in bite range most of the time

but other half i can see them fine from the back

[glacial cape]

Is this with keen hearing? I've not noticed any frontal/side vision issues but darkness is what terrifies me the most with zombies now especially in basement levels

[sturdy wren]

i dont have any hearing traits

[glacial cape]

And I usually take keen hearing for the extra safety whilst resting out in the open

[sturdy wren]

indoor zombie fighting is genuinely horrible because you can hardly see them because of ??

[glacial cape]

Yeah I wouldn't risk fighting indoors it's a death trap especially singleplayer in multiplayer you can kind of get away with it because you can have people hold choke points and split the horde even then it gets wacky

[severe egret]

Fighting indoors is and was always a bad idea anyway lol

[glacial cape]

[cunning turtle]

[sturdy wren]

how else do you fight groups of 3 or more unarmed with no fences around if not windows

[severe egret]

Lure them outside, break them up, take them one by one as much as possible

Even then you wanna lure as many away as possible, and avoid as much fighting as you can

[real fox]

thin out the horde, kill the ones on you, thin them out again, lure, repeat

[sturdy wren]

how do you break zombies up?

[severe egret]

Thing is. Luring is made harder due to zeds knowing where you are for x seconds after losing LoS. You never know for sure when LoS is broken

[severe egret]

Cardio

[sturdy wren]

and luring away zombies isn't a great idea because chances are you stumble into more zombies

[severe egret]

Cardio

[sturdy wren]

what the fuck does cardio mean

is it not something heart related

like cardiac arrest

One of the best zombies movies I've seen no cap

[real fox]

i need to watch 28 days later

the soundtrack sounds good

[cunning turtle]

I'd like to watch it

[sturdy wren]

project zomboid and left 4 dead are literally the only zombie medias i've ever interacted with

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[sturdy wren]

Lmao

[sturdy wren]

unless you count nonstandard zombies that aren't the cookie cutter brain eating green guys then that's all i remember

thank you game

[real fox]

holy shit dude

[cunning turtle]

Purple my fav

[real fox]

the new news lore is fucking insane

[cunning turtle]

Pat lore

[severe egret]

Really? I never read them out of fear they will bore me

I mean, bore my character

[cunning turtle]

bore you

[severe egret]

Im sure pats writing is plenty interesting

[cunning turtle]

No doubts

[severe egret]

Whole newspaper is just a big "NO"

[sturdy wren]

what kinda car is this? i never seen anything like this

[spark cosmos]

Wheels car

It's like a car but it has wheels

[real fox]

Jeep

[sturdy wren]

no? it doesnt

[real fox]

It looks smaller in game tho

[sturdy wren]

it's called a dash rancher you're were lying

[spark cosmos]

But I see them right there before my eyes

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/persona-persona3-persona-3-persona-3-reload-misinformation-gif-2736390499350685280

[spark cosmos]

As I said

[real fox]

That’s not a real car brand tho

It’s based off jeep motherfucker >:3

Mwuhahahaha

[spark cosmos]

I've never heard of the jeep motherfucker model

[real fox]

[sturdy wren]

my funny pack and backpack match :D

[cunning turtle]

Is this new in b42 or am i crazy

[sturdy wren]

i dont remember that color in b41 so might as well be

why has it been in muscle strain for 2 days now

[raw parcel]

its not a new car and it seem inspired from lada niva

[sturdy wren]

NOOOO

[spare breach]

you must've been stomping all day and night gawdamn

[raw parcel]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Dash_Rancher

[sturdy wren]

i have 40 or so unarmed kills in under 2 days

[cunning turtle]

Ahh alright

[sturdy wren]

a bag of bags, holy shit

[cunning turtle]

Makes sense

[real fox]

only once for an hour

my 200 hours has been solo

[sturdy wren]

71 kills in 2 days and 5 hours

insane leg workout, I LOVE STOMPING

[amber rover]

You know, this reminds me of one of the mods.

One of the armour mods had a full bodysuit called Sage, and of course that messed with the foraging system

So, you could either get;
a. A couple of sage plants
b. A full bodysuit - conveniently also called Sage - which gave more protection than any other undersuit

[cunning turtle]

That's cool, I only played like 100 hours solo and 1000 on multiplayer

[sturdy wren]

it seems like the church has windows missing

yes it do, i fell out

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[remote bear]

Where is a likely chance to find backpacks guys?

I reckon clothing stores and schools?

[sturdy wren]

so i see the police station has gotten a glow up

unfortunately this is how i died

[real fox]

the basement is even worse

i wont spoil whats down there

[sturdy wren]

so how do i get inside the police station without fucking dying

[real fox]

get better weapons and thin the heard

[sturdy wren]

i absolutely cant imagine clearing out that horde without guns, and i'm on my way to get guns

[real fox]

gotta practice combat in a sandbox or something

[sturdy wren]

better weapons like crow bar ?

[real fox]

ive cleared that place with just a crowbar yeah

[spark cosmos]

Simply walk past the zombies

[real fox]

2 of them

i plan on making thatone of my bases this playthrough

[sturdy wren]

where do i even get a crowbar?

[amber rover]

I mean, outside of multiplayer (where bases in police, military, etc loot tend to be banned for loot table reasons) those places are usually fortifiable, have roof access etc

[amber rover]

Warehouses, construction sites, even some back rooms might have them

[sturdy wren]

only one i found in b42 was like in some house

[amber rover]

You may also get lucky with a house garage, basement or one of those closets in a house

[ornate laurel]

I've consistently gotten 2 or more Crowbars from the houses, garages, and Barns of Echo Creek for example

[sturdy wren]

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ZOMBIES IN A RANDOM BACKYARD

[cunning turtle]

Waiting for u babe

[crisp flicker]

That would be an easter egg basement 😄 https://youtu.be/Zk71h2CQ_xM

[real fox]

👁️

[fossil vector]

Can you move a hen hutch ? I want one for my chickens but it seems like i can't move one or build a new one

[nova wharf]

Do car mods work like ki5 mods in b42 or it just breaks

[real fox]

i cant seem to currently destory or pick it up

[remote bear]

Wow, I'm blown away on how many good farm houses you can have a base in

[cunning turtle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1160784514633715744/1312620361237528667/attachment.gif

[scenic ingot]

struggle is real, its so hard to pick the best one, right now im on a mission to find the most convenient one which would have water, gas station and drinkable water nearby

basement too

[remote bear]

So many have water pumps.

[scenic ingot]

water pumps? like wells?

[crisp flicker]

You can't pick them up currently but should be able to sledge them to destroy them, should be able to build them too (Just quick tested, you need to close the build menu, move a little and reopen it again to allow it to refresh sometimes)
do you have all the right items in your inventory? do you have the right skills to craft it too (3 Carp)?

[scenic ingot]

ive seen a recipe for building one, from what i recall you cant move it but have you tried dismantling it?

also maybe you mixed up building menus? since there are two for crafting stuff

it should show it even if you dont have all the nessecary stuff for building one

[crisp flicker]

Aye, could be a mix up
needs to be from this building menu in the top left corner

Crafting menu you pull up using 'B' is for surface/general crafting items

[scenic ingot]

oh theres even a shortcut, nice!

[sturdy wren]

what causes this

no hemophobia,

[scenic ingot]

might be blood if you picked up some negative traits related to it

[long sun]

when do you guys think there will be multiplayer?

[sturdy wren]

around may probably?

[long sun]

oof

[sturdy wren]

i said no hemophobia

[crisp flicker]

Stress, to many zombies closeby, needs a smoke, recently scratched?

[sturdy wren]

i know only knox infection and hemophobia cause stress

[scenic ingot]

sorry, didnt know it was called that 😔

[sturdy wren]

zombies nearby cause stress? i'm sleeping as my door is getting knocked down, did not know that it causes stress

thank you

[remote bear]

Pumps and wells

[scenic ingot]

oh yeah, now when you said that i think i remember seeing one

[crisp flicker]

Aye, having zombies to close to your base that can cause stress too, Its like you can wake up midway through the night in panic because of them hanging around too close as well

[remote bear]

how can i transport animals now?

[crisp flicker]

Animal Trailers

[remote bear]

i found some chimkens and I assume I cant just stuff them in my car

[sturdy wren]

i've been lacerated on the first day but i wasnt queasy and still arent 4 days later

[scenic ingot]

even the ones that are dead?

[real fox]

too much stress

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Stressed

wiki will answer most moodles and causes

chronic stress can also make ur character depressed at a higher rate if stress is high enough

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Moodle

[crisp flicker]

Can depend on what traits you have, if you have panic/cowardly type traits then it will effect you moreso, your character might stress a little if they get sick/lacerated/bitten as they worry of infection, live zombies banging at your door will deffo have you stressed 😄
Dead ones won't panic you but will make you sick if you hang around them for too long/let to many pile up

[real fox]

I find it funny you can also kill zombies to relieve stress depending on the circumstance haha

[scenic ingot]

my character is rocking with severe depression which i heal with whiskey

[sturdy wren]

you only get stressed after injury if you're infected, no?

an entire tool storage room and no crowbar, disgusting.

[real fox]

i suggest reading the wiki for specifics, but it depends on the situation

[hasty dagger]

I like playing six months later. Slow zombies that come in massive hordes. no power or light. maximum number of cars but very poor condition. Supplies very abundant. Spawn in louiville.

[real fox]

but if u r infected yeah and feeling queasy , but stress has more dynamic causes than just that x)

[real fox]

six months later on 16x pop

[crisp flicker]

Depends, if you have the panic type traits then they can stress a little more over any injury/sickness, till your over it say

[vivid kestrel]

Six mouths later on 16x sprinters only pop b42.

[sturdy wren]

can l&b warehouse even spawn crowbars

[real fox]

OH MY GOD NOOOO

[sturdy wren]

six mouths later

[vivid kestrel]

Actually, I kind of want to see how long I will last. (I have doubts. Even a minute would be miracle depends on spawning location)

[fossil vector]

@crisp flicker @scenic ingot Thanks guys, i will try that !

[crisp flicker]

🤘

[cunning turtle]

[real fox]

[sturdy wren]

I am genuinely just standing at death's door i think

gonna go and try and raid the police station

i have 3 hammers and a metal pipe

i dont have beta blockers

what the fuck were they doing in da basement

why is there a bottle of liquor

[unkempt atlas]

I broke my leg with Slow Healer, feel bad for me.

[vivid kestrel]

No. You will heal that leg.

[topaz sorrel]

hello, which button rotates items as you build them? is it bugged?

[topaz sorrel]

see you run in 3 months

[lilac sequoia]

No weapon skill, you're not living long.

[sturdy wren]

this might be how i died

[vivid kestrel]

I merely moved towards the front door and pause. I see 3 running zombies despite the fact I crouched.

Though I definitely lasted at least hours because I locked myself in bathroom for about irl minute.

[sturdy wren]

why does the police have a sawed off shotgun? isnt that illegal?

[scenic ingot]

maybe it was confiscated

[sturdy wren]

two of them

[vivid kestrel]

5 hours. Jumped over a large fence. Seemed too good. The fence was just covering one side obscured otherwise only by trees and yet the plot of the house was full of zombies. What a stupid death trap.

[sturdy wren]

not a lot of ammo though,

only 2 boxes of shotgun shells

[cunning turtle]

Do you think baby

I used to main spear in b41

[fossil vector]

Would you guys know what is the name of the magazine that teaches you how to craft a fire bomb ?

[ornate laurel]

Fun fact I discovered a potential "exploit"

When you respawn in a world your new character also starts with an M9, 5 full magazines, and a box of 9mm ammo

So if you purposefully kill yourself constantly (after dropping off the goods in a specific location) your "actual" character can get to work with potentially thousands of rounds of ammo

[sturdy wren]

aren't handguns practically useless

[glacial cape]

You should see the state of the military checkpoints ammo loot

[stable pilot]

at aiming 3 theyre pretty baller

[cunning turtle]

You need to play more

[lilac sequoia]

I could never with spears. One death to the crit animation was all I needed to drop em forever.

[cunning turtle]

Lmao

[sturdy wren]

i literally never used guns

[stable pilot]

they were questionable in b41, in b42 theyre like the best method to eliminate hordes aside from fire

[sturdy wren]

I have no idea what fucking happened but i got teleported outside the police station

[stable pilot]

once you understand the aiming system you can kill alot of zombies pretty quickly

[ornate laurel]

Yeah new aiming is great

[sturdy wren]

what happened to shotguns

[umbral raven]

Hope we get a hotfix soon, agriculture bug is rough

[stable pilot]

it needs a little more work but a massive improvement

[sturdy wren]

💔 how am i killing less than one zombie per shot

[stable pilot]

the spread has been toned down, but shotguns are still the best way to level aiming

also there are skill books for aiming now in case you didnt know

[viscid belfry]

Do cars actually start to look like that after a while or it's a retexture mod ?

[sturdy wren]

why o i have muscle strain from shooting a gu

[viscid belfry]

Weak character can't handle recoil

[sturdy wren]

i am OUT OF AMMO

WHAT

WHY WERE THERE SO MUCH ZOMBIES RIGHT AT THE DOOR IN ONE BEDROOM

i hate bullshit moments like this

[real fox]

@cunning turtle somehow this video is getting some visibility lmfao???? https://youtu.be/1Z-qvp6oKyA?si=9WPH9z8GrIP7iN_1 was kinda cool seeing all the comments on my fuck up haha I might have to do this more often

[real fox]

This has happened to me earlier haha it was so scary

[sturdy wren]

i open the door and immediately just get lunged at

god i fucking hate guns

[cunning turtle]

I told you, Luna the youtuber, put in the title B42 to see if attract more people to it

[real fox]

I mostly just originally wanted to just have a place to dump that large file haha was kinda cool to browse

[cunning turtle]

Luna will be famous now

[sturdy wren]

im genuinely so frustrated, how on earth do people use guns?

[ripe nebula]

Was there a 23mb update for anyone else?

[sturdy wren]

mod update?

[ripe nebula]

I don’t have mods downloaded and there was an update about 23mb in size just now

[ripe nebula]

Nah you just need to level up guns and aim for the head

[cunning turtle]

I like when the doctor talk, I feel safe and comfortable

[ripe nebula]

[sturdy wren]

i hate when the doctor talk

i feel critically endangered and stressed out

it's literally day 5

[real fox]

Sadly

[scenic ingot]

once again, looking for base long term, which city would be the best for long term living - Brandenburg, Irvington or Ekron

[real fox]

Outside of West Point

[visual trail]

the framework is there but the error traps are missing cauzing all statements to be read as false......

[vague trench]

Vanilla

[real fox]

You’d be around three cities, Muldraugh, West Point, and Louisville

Water near by as well

@cunning turtle put me onto this

[viscid belfry]

Cool asf

[scenic ingot]

i was based there in B41 just before update

[glacial cape]

Hope we get a fix for farming after new years I feel like the priority of the devs would be to sort out amd & linux users issues and possibly controller support for things like the steam deck first before we see any fixes come through

[scenic ingot]

while yes it does have a lot of benefits i havent really explored new cities

[sturdy wren]

the 3 houses northwest of west point?

[visual trail]

there are a couple of errors in that code writing, nothing they can't handle, just missing parameters

[cunning turtle]

Luna knows

[ripe nebula]

I think the game did get a small patch that wasn’t announced

It’s running better for me now with no stutters. Yesterday the game had semi-frequent stutters for me.

[real fox]

https://tenor.com/view/pov-you-know-those-who-know-you-know-it-scared-gif-11882428818181602495

[visual trail]

you just need 1 boost of fertilizer after sowing so they won't die

that's it

[scenic ingot]

there is finally b42 map 🥶

from what i see ekron is better than irvington

[glacial cape]

Oh really? Is fertiliser broken or something

If that's the case I guess I'll wait till winter has passed and start farming again in spring if I live that long

[visual trail]

using fertilizer nullifies that line

it's a workaround I have figured until they fix this

[frozen wyvern]

Yay Omori 🥳

[ripe nebula]

my current B42 playthrough and home

no generator magazine but i have a car

how dense would it be at the riverwood library on apocalypse difficulty?

i need to find the magazine

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah and you should ABSOLUTELY use the generator indoors, that would be a FANTASTIC idea

[scenic ingot]

i was dumb enough to try it out knowing what was waiting for me

[echo aurora]

is riverwood a new city?

[real fox]

No

[echo aurora]

I see

[real fox]

Wait

Riverside or riverwood??????

[ripe nebula]

I’ve played this game for 500 or so hours, bub

Lmao

[fossil vector]

There's a weird thing with P42 and fire bombs. It seems that B42 deleted molotov cocktails and the only remaining throwable fire item are Fire Bombs. But that recipe needs to be taught which i can't find a book/magazine for. Could it be possible that fire bombs are not learnable without having the Engineer profession like in B41 ? That would mean that there's no throwable fire item in the game if you don't take the Engineer job at the start of the game.

[real fox]

If you meant riverwood, maybe????

[vague trench]

yah its preety sick , love the details like that

[ripe nebula]

Yeah I’m in the riverwood area

[echo aurora]

I'm confused because all I know is the Riverwood boat club

[ripe nebula]

*riverside

[spark cosmos]

That's in Riverside

[real fox]

Skyrim

[frozen wyvern]

We need to add a town called Riverwood to confuse people

[echo aurora]

I'm gonna pass out

[real fox]

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

it worked

[vague trench]

riverwood=riverside lol i think someone called it that and people sometimes call it that

[spark cosmos]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Riverwood_Boat_Club

[frozen wyvern]

Then also a town called Rosedraugh

[vague trench]

riverwoodside

lol rosedarugh haha

whats lv

[spark cosmos]

Riverville? Louis River?

[vague trench]

pouispoint?

[frozen wyvern]

Westville

[vague trench]

lol i have broken humour that thatsso funny

[spark cosmos]

I think my favorite garbled town name was when someone called rosewood redwood

[vague trench]

lol redwood

someone called muldrag mudra to spiffo lol

[austere pewter]

Raghmuld

[cunning turtle]

Take it easy

[spark cosmos]

Mudra goes hard, sounds like a power rangers villain or something

loisville

hey lois

[vague trench]

UH UH eCHO KRik

[scenic ingot]

ok i think i finally found a location where i want to live, few lakes nearby, gas station, water well

[vague trench]

took me so long to find a spot lol

[scenic ingot]

same, spent like half an hour looking for a spot on a map

oh yeah that place also has basement and two layers of fence one of them is that tall one

[lethal wolf]

Do crops atm automatically die if you don't boost em with fertilizer?

[scenic ingot]

wtf why is it so big

[vague trench]

lol

[vague trench]

i dont know i figured things were wacky , i tried growing a bunch but they all died , i hope you dont have to constantly fertilize them that would be annoying for me

[vague trench]

lol hang on

[lethal wolf]

I guess I'll have to "just in case" do a long week long hiking trip on foot to fetch fertilizer then...

[vague trench]

its CLEARLY a bathtub for the plushies

[scenic ingot]

love it

looks like a huge coconut with a panda inside

[vague trench]

lol

[vague trench]

yah im curious if you have to lol i have no patience so i think that would probably just force me to make smaller crops sizes

[cunning turtle]

Best point in the map

[true smelt]

Guys,Does this serve any purpose? I can't find any animation or made for it

This object, is not considered Workbech and nothing.

[crisp flicker]

It's part of the blacksmith crafting area (there are parts of the crafting that are not fully finished/are currently being worked on to work as they should)

[true smelt]

Thanks Amz =D

When will we have new videos? i miss the stories from your videos.

[lethal wolf]

Even if I wanted to use a car, now the muddy road alone, one way, off this lake will cost me 33% of gas tank, its not viable anymore, like the road keeps draining more and more gasoline each time I use a car xD

[vague trench]

lol struggle bus road

[lethal wolf]

Yeah, I'm never using a car in this playthrough again, didn't find manuals to fix em anyway, so manual treks it is, and hopefully soon enough, permanently residing on an island!

[crisp flicker]

Np 🙂 Obvs any of these extra buildable parts that maybe don't work just yet will do so once the crafting's been thoroughly polished and fixed
Those are so you can heat up and bash weapons together

Videowise the most recent was the Marvin and Ned Christmas one, though I don't think it got seen about much as it was Christmas Eve when it was posted 😄

[crisp flicker]

🤔 Possibly, maybe... perhaps
do not quote me on this though 😁 lol

[true smelt]

You're hiding a lot of secrets Amz... but you should come back to the channel as well, since you have a lot of knowledge about the items released in the game.

[vague trench]

lets not get ahead of ourselves

[crisp flicker]

Cheers hun 😁

[true smelt]

Animal head psychopath

[vague trench]

I LOVE dead things lol

[crisp flicker]

Yes. Thar be many 😏 lol

[true smelt]

Share these secrets... with us... 🫣

I'm struggling to make a video showing everything that came in this update...

[vague trench]

[true smelt]

So this object will have some purpose in the future...

[vague trench]

can you fill it up?

[true smelt]

No =(

[vague trench]

i love the new lil tiles like that they look so good

[vague trench]

would be cool id go out of my way to make that over a rainbarrel or something just how it looks stone crust!

[true smelt]

These items I sent you a picture of still have no use.

[true smelt]

Yes! It's beautiful

Don't work too. This thing is so NICE.. style Medieval

I'll try to make about 3 parts of the video hahaha I like to put jokes in my videos, and I'll also opt for something shorter. But I would really appreciate your help if you can, Amz.

[true smelt]

.... Good times

You remember?

It was like it was yesterday

[vague trench]

its me anytime i see some story in pz or some thing thats not a story and i make up my own story in my head lol

[crisp flicker]

I imagine a loud room full of you all with wipe boards doing this when discussions and theory's go on sometimes 😄

[true smelt]

I think Amz knows when Build 43 will be released.

Don't worry, they'll be cooking in the oven in no time 😄
You have many Neds to keep you company till then

[ripe nebula]

I just looked through the entire Riverside library and didn’t find a single fucking generator magazine

[true smelt]

We know that you Amz, are not just a moderator, you are a hidden developer for a long time

[ripe nebula]

I’m ngl breaking in and looting in riverside is really tense and feels great with how many zombies are around. Feels like I could die at any time.

[crisp flicker]

Bookshelves in houses usually have generator/recipe magazines

[crisp flicker]

This.. would be true 😁
You can see on the Wiki/in the credits now tbh too lol

[true smelt]

Serius?

[vague trench]

lol i ended up starting with engineer

[true smelt]

I never thought about it, so is Spiffo also a developer?...

That's really cool, Amz, I didn't know that.

if i dont get the holiday amz videos i throw fits

49.719 players in real time

[vague trench]

it got up to 52 last night lol

[true smelt]

We beat red dead redemption

[crisp flicker]

Thats pretty cool for sure 😄
I always thought its cool that now if you just put 'Best Zombie Game' in google were usually in those lists

[true smelt]

I also really love Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur...

[true smelt]

you all deserve it

I believe that the Project Zombod may come a time when it can even be in first person. 😅

[vague trench]

LOl that would be so weird

[true smelt]

Amz, is there something else here that doesn't work?

[true smelt]

No other company has reached the level of realism in a first-person game, Indie Stone has a secret and a special touch in this

[vague trench]

yah i have palyed a LOT of games over the years and when steam greenlit came out thats when i started getting heavy into survival games , and pz is really in depth, have yet to really find another like this

[true smelt]

I love Dying Light too, and I keep thinking about a graphic similar to it, for a zombie survival game like Project Zomboid. (With the soundtrack too).

[true smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuN82OBSD9s Insane

Hmm, maybe the furnace but not sure without checking
Its pretty much if you click B/right click on any of those items, there should be a craft window pop up, if not then aye its not fully finished persay

[worthy elbow]

Guys, does anyone know a mod for Build 42 that makes reading XP multiplier books faster? Without a mod, it takes way too long to read the books.

[crisp flicker]

You tried adding the fast reader trait to your character?

[true smelt]

And Amz, is there any other secret to level up here in the game? Since, unfortunately, maintenance no longer gives XP like in B41 when hitting zombies...

https://tenor.com/view/hehe-raccoon-ornery-gif-10625001

[worthy elbow]

I don't remember HHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[true smelt]

I wonder if I'll have to find all the VHS tapes in the game...

https://tenor.com/view/ponke-ponkesol-solana-sol-cry-gif-17625942964256843614

The trait "Fast Learner" helps a lot with XP too, it's the best thing.

[crisp flicker]

Maintenance on weapons Im pretty sure is now linked to crafting them? though Im not 100% on this (Need to have a look see, been a while since I tested melee weapons last)

[true smelt]

I knew you had early access. When I heard about the testers, I remember you testing the game since Build 41, even before I knew your channel. 😅 (Before I knew you were a videographer too)

[crisp flicker]

Aye try that 😄 obvs if you don't want to remake your character you can change your stats through Debug too see if it works too (Debug menu to the left - Cheat menu - Player Stats)
Like Cowpoke said too, fast learner can also be very handy alongside it for reading faster/learning skills quicker

[crisp flicker]

If its for info videos you can debug spawn them in, they will spawn in as plain vhs tapes, you can then right click them and change them into the vhs tapes you need

[true smelt]

I meant, playing for real, not just making videos. But I appreciate you giving the tip about the debug mode 🙂

I heard that hitting zombies makes a lot more noise now. I tried to find something in Debug Mode where I could see the noise distance, but I couldn't find anything.

[ripe nebula]

Thanks

[ripe nebula]

I checked the book store and the school library and no generator magazine

I guess it’s time to raid the super market for canned food

[vague trench]

what town are you in?

[ripe nebula]

Riverside

[vague trench]

hang on someone told me to go to this place

[true smelt]

Check car trunks and glove compartments, you can find it very easily.

[vague trench]

lol hold on i have a huge mess

[glacial cape]

I've seen reports of people finding generator magazines in the back of electromax vans from outside warehouses & fire trucks

[crisp flicker]

Oooooh I see lol
Been playing PZ since Desura days tbh, Started helping out admining on one of the ex spiffo space servers with Beard in like 2017, then pretty much just helped around where we could from there 😄

[knotty yew]

found mine in my current playthrough in the back of a mccoys van

[vague trench]

wheres the amz flier for amz steel i need to collect everyones thingiers

[true smelt]

Do you think we'll be able to use the pickaxe?

[crisp flicker]

Forgot about the electronics shops/vans can have magazines too

[true smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/minecraft-mining-loop-diamonds-gold-gif-21889516

[glacial cape]

Lucky I had to grind to level 3 electrical it was a painful, slow & grueling experience

[crisp flicker]

Idk if there is one for there tbh 🤔 I havent seen it yet if so 😄

[glacial cape]

There are small stone, limestone & flint mineral deposits you can mine now!

[dawn elm]

Library and books stores for recipe magazines

[knotty yew]

cool that it lets levels give you recipes too now though

tbh it should probably be level 2 if not lvl 1 though

since the generator knowledge trait only gives 1 level and all

[glacial cape]

Who knows maybe we'll get to change recipe level requirements in the sandbox one day

[knotty yew]

making effectively acquiring that trait take 3 levels is a bit much

[true smelt]

Unfortunately, I’ve looked for that option, but I can never find it. Sadly, the debug mode is also not translated into Brazilian Portuguese, so it’s really difficult sometimes. 😅

[true smelt]

😅 It's all alright

[mossy tangle]

Are car batteries also subject to the draining bug? They go so fast lol

[true smelt]

Hmmm thank you!!!

[dawn elm]

Finding a car battery charger can be a pain back in build 41

[glacial cape]

I believe they're or they've changed it so leaving the battery on doesn't charge it anymore

I know if you leave the engine on it still charges it

For anyone wanting to charge their battery at the cost of car fuel, albeit a slow drain of car fuel

[mossy tangle]

Dang bbq propane tanks are also draining that sucks

[dawn elm]

Leaving engine running once NPC do arrive will make it more fun and risky

Getting your car stolen due to leaving the keys in the ignition.

[crisp flicker]

Or you come back to it sat on bricks 😄

[dawn elm]

Wheels stolen

[vague trench]

yah lol its a known issue , if its bad and you cant find a car charger can debug one in

[ripe nebula]

Thx

[mossy tangle]

Good idea

[vague trench]

exactly lol

[ornate laurel]

Could it be your gas tank is getting damaged so you have less and less capacity?

[dawn elm]

Unless every car is a low rider

[lethal wolf]

likely case, tons of saplings and bushes now covering the mud roads, it just became too much of a hassle to do road maintenance, possibly also because it seems like new zombie migration truly works, the areas I cleared nearby are being re-populated by a lot of zeds

well capacity, more like increasing rate of leaking, mud road draining a lot of gas because the car REALLY has to use its full power to move

[dawn elm]

Driving a heavy duty off road makes them slow

[mossy tangle]

Is there anyway currently to stop battery decay? I have a box I’m afraid to open haha

[lethal wolf]

yes it definitely does, battery drain bug doesn't help finding a lot of vehicles in my run

[vague trench]

i think i saw someone say they take the key out of the ignition not sure how effective it is, not sure if you remove the battery either

[dawn elm]

Hopefully indiestone fixes it

[lethal wolf]

Even sleeping the night makes a full car battery be at 30% even if no key in the car, so I have to keep using the car, or abandon it

[dawn elm]

Cars in PZ don’t have an alternator and can’t charge better while driving logic

[silk nova]

i'm really waiting to be able to place the candles!!!!!😍

[ornate laurel]

Battery draining is probably a bug on reload

[ornate laurel]

Other similar things have been seen to drain for no reason

[mossy tangle]

I’ve had the same save running for hours while working and have observed basically everything with a meter that isn’t liquid running out, so batteries, propane in both kinds of tanks, buckets of cement

[lethal wolf]

I sometimes feel like matches do the same, I never find full match boxes, but yet to check if my The Loot Pile(tm) has any matches left since weeks in-game ago

[fossil vector]

How do i learn the recipe for Fire Bombs on B42 ?

[dawn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/candle-light-lit-flame-gif-16093617

Candles to light up or to pray to god before eating.

[silk nova]

or just to avoid the darkness and asdness of me when i found 3 generators but no mag

[lethal wolf]

Electrical vol 1. The sole book to replace the bible

Gets you skill lv 2 easy, and then its 1 more to grind out to get gennies work without manual

[silk nova]

i'm one of the few foolish who like the fact that i need the mag

in my mind every house with a generator should have the probability to spwn also the mag

[dawn elm]

Dismantling watches for XP lol

[silk nova]

i think having 3 in electrical fo start a generator it's too easy

[stable pilot]

why? a generator needs some understanding but its not rocket science

[radiant verge]

water is still tainted after boiling it in an oven 😕

[dawn elm]

The generators you buy from stores come with a manual IRL

[silk nova]

i know but i think 3 is too low in my opinion should be 5

[vague trench]

try using a cooking pot i think saucepans are bugged if its still doing it try removing the container and placing it back in the heat source

[stable pilot]

oh goddamn I would hate that

[silk nova]

i know

[dawn elm]

Having to use a surface to butcher some animals

[silk nova]

i think that butchering the rabbits on the ground is a bit too much

they are kinda small

[dawn elm]

Imagine butchering animals with knife with zombie blood on it

[silk nova]

i even butcher the hare on a table

[silk nova]

that will be amazing to have

[stable pilot]

A rabbit or squirrel you can butcher while holding it if you just slit the back of its neck and rip its hide off

its easier with a squirrel or other small critter though

[dawn elm]

cutting boards being more useful to protect against knife marks on table or counter

[silk nova]

i knwo taht why i think the thing of butcher a rabbit on the ground is a bit too much

[ornate laurel]

Just follow Arthur Morgans example

[silk nova]

i can understand deers but execpt pigs deer and cows the other animals should need a surface

i would love to sse my char butcher the rabbit on the chopping log

one of the thing that i would really to see are the logs from the trees being long and i have to chop in chunks like in the forest

[dawn elm]

Chopping a chickens head off to cook it.

[silk nova]

soup of hens combs

[dawn elm]

Hen of the woods mushrooms

[pallid hinge]

This is basically how I found PZ back in 2011 - typed in "zombie survival games" into Google and it was the first thing to pop up 😁

[mossy tangle]

Holy crap the Electrax factory has amazing loot now hahaha

wheres that in lv?

or is that riverwoodsidelol

[mossy tangle]

There’s a flier for it now

[vague trench]

thats awesome , i really love how you can find things in specific areas now

[mossy tangle]

I just wish I could grow all these seeds haha

Has anyone managed to farm or is it literally just totally broken right now? If you plant at the very first day of the growing period does it work?

[dawn elm]

Finding a flyer for any building and being marked on the map to encourage exploration.

[vague trench]

i think the darkness was talking about farming a few days ago hang on let me see if i can link the convo

[dawn elm]

Until I get home to play some PZ again

[vague trench]

#1318684957526458450 message you can search their history but looks like theyre working on a farming guide if that helps at all

seems to confusing for me lol

[silk nova]

i hope they will fix the animals to die and leave the bones after a month without feeding them otherwise infinte food

i have some friends complaining about the farming being useless

[keen gorge]

Farming's bugged

[dawn elm]

Rip to farming skill

[keen gorge]

There are a lot of reports about plants just dying after 2-3 weeks

[silk nova]

not about the 42 but in general

[keen gorge]

Wdym farming was OP in 41

[dawn elm]

Farming in build 41 was better

[keen gorge]

Only overshadowed by fishing being more OP

[silk nova]

no i mean as a skill in general and now with the animals some of them just say that is a waste of time

[dawn elm]

Rip to spear fishing in build 42

Fishing rods being the only way to catch fish

[keen gorge]

Yeah it just gives info. No buffs. I think animal care also works the same way

[silk nova]

sorry i wanted to say as mechanic in general they find farming useless

in all the server i play i am the only who take care about farming XD

[keen gorge]

I wouldn't say farming is useless. It's still food after all. As a skill, I could agree it's pointless since higher levels only give you more visibility on plant info

Then again, I only really cared about farming, fishing, and trapping at 41 when I set food loot to insanely rare

[silk nova]

now all of them are trying the 42 and they say with the animals, farming become even more useless

[frozen wyvern]

Farming is still good, but i think the vastly slower growth rate and growing seasons might have taken the fun factor out

Like it took a while in 41, now most people arent usually going to survive to collect their first harvest

[silk nova]

personally i love it it had more difficulty to me i like problem solving and organizing

[wraith rune]

I think it's more about the fact you can become self-sufficient and work towards becoming self-sufficient than actually waiting for crops and doing daily animal chores

[frozen wyvern]

I think it needs to be balanced between realism and being a game

[spark cosmos]

I can see this being less of an issue once NPCs are around. Unsure whether switching to them when you die will be a thing, but seems like a way to make it pay off regardless. Plus it's still nice for those who can survive the long game

I think leaning towards realism with sandbox options to change things (which currently exist, I believe) is alright, in some cases

[chrome widget]

Realism sucks when you want to have actual fun with the game however.

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah, but i thi k the farming speed changes should only be implemented when NPCs are implemented

[spark cosmos]

I suppose that's fair. Personally I see any change that can make the game more difficult but still fun as a positive one, if there are ways to revert for people not interested in that

Longer farming times meets that criterion for me, but I recognize that isn't true for everyone

[silk nova]

for me is the opposite lessa game is realistic more i get boring cause there is no problem solving

[silk nova]

luckily pz have a huge sandbox

so everyone is happy

[chrome widget]

yeah, im sure sandbox will be improved even more when it releases to tweak it fully

[frozen wyvern]

Whats the sandbox farming speed option value that would make it more like 41?

[spark cosmos]

Yeah, pz being a sandbox game certainly means a variety of ways to play. I still think critique of defaults is valid, though in this case I'm in favor

[chrome widget]

i can appreciate how absolutely crazy you can go with farming though, feels like eventually you'd be able to cook fun meals for a big community.

[frozen wyvern]

Yeah i love how sandbox lets yoy play the way yoy want

[viscid belfry]

Are there sandbox options so that zeds and players won't clip anymore when furnitures are nearby windows ?

[frozen wyvern]

Trust me the game would be way more annoying without that feature haha

[viscid belfry]

That's true... Just wished that extra protection from zombies, unless they don't clip and still take the time to break the furniture instead of clipping like players

[rocky copper]

so how do you do this? I get no option for such thing

[chrome widget]

Look for the texutres on the ground, you'll eventually see them

[frozen wyvern]

Does that work with foraging?

[viscid belfry]

I remember being able to pick up rocks and twigs out of textures off the ground while still in search mode

[rocky copper]

im talking about the long stick thingy

he said with an axe i can get sapling from a tree

i know about stones and twigs, i just cant figure out how to get long sticks as he described

[chrome widget]

Long stick i can only see in foraing, but let me bring up my save real quick

[rocky copper]

sure, so theres no way to get them otherwise? Sapling work in some recipes but again i cant find them either

[viscid belfry]

I remember seing saplings while foraging, and you can cut/carve the saplings so that they become long sticks

Dunno about the tree interaction yet

[silk nova]

yep for now only with foraging

no interactions

[rocky copper]

oof, guess imma do a hour long foraging session then

[silk nova]

for now or u forage the longsticks or saplings

[silk nova]

yep

[rocky copper]

i guess forest is the best place for it

[viscid belfry]

Also just discovered that barricading windows with planks actually levels up carpentry, neat

[rocky copper]

one thing i noticed that walking near trees shreds your clothing really fast

[chrome widget]

Yup, thats how i levled carpentry in b41.

Board up windows, and make the wall frames

[silk nova]

use the command walk

[viscid belfry]

Didn't even know it was a feature in B41 woops

[vague trench]

lol me neither

[silk nova]

it avoid to shred u and your clothes

[chrome widget]

Its good for when you dont wanna demolish a bunch of furniure and already have logs and a saw

[viscid belfry]

[chrome widget]

Just got one foraging LOL

[viscid belfry]

i could have saved my police armored vest from inevitably being shredded from a random tree

[silk nova]

yep XD

[viscid belfry]

[chrome widget]

Tailoring is real nice though in b42, i found in west point a big ol loom and whatnot under the general store to make some neat clothes.

[rocky copper]

[silk nova]

i hope they will add clothign degradation with the npc so the tailoring will be really a necessity

[chrome widget]

Team up with a shepard, sheer some sheep like minecraft, and everyone will have some neat warm stuffies.

[rocky copper]

i swear to god i have been looking for them a long time, same with flint to level up knapping, this is the grind update frfr

[viscid belfry]

Imagine NPCs asking you little things they know you're already proficient at if they get to know you a bit

And they'd do little things back

[silk nova]

it will be amazing

i will not play any other game

[chrome widget]

Go to one of these roads, and search for "stones" i promise you, you'll find clay and flint super fast.

[cobalt dawn]

i hope when they start working on npcs they start handing out contracts thru email asking pz fans if they want to be put into the "Machine Of Souls™️" so that their npcs are as lifelike as possible

[viscid belfry]

I'd also be so excited to see the community what they could mod in with native Human NPCs settled in

But we're yet to see animal mods

[silk nova]

look for now i'm just waiting one mod with the animals

[viscid belfry]

I think I saw one but it was a meme

[silk nova]

the horses!!!

[viscid belfry]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3394755161&searchtext=animal

[blazing coral]

stopped for the sledgehammer, stayed for the good read I found on one of the zeds

[chrome widget]

Super big club!!!!

Anyone done a nomad/forest only run yet?

[viscid belfry]

Hell yeah

[opaque schooner]

wtf lol

[viscid belfry]

Only been staying in a moderately remote farmstead

[silk nova]

at that point a good mod of degrading fuel and yep i have done

[rocky copper]

is that a specific road or any dirt road does it

[viscid belfry]

Been trying the crafting so far, it's pretty cool but some level requirement makes no sense, carpentry level 1 needed to make a little chopping spot with a log while we already can saw planks like nothing XD

[chrome widget]

either or, you just find gravel roads (the lighter colored one) more often, its how i got enough clay for forging

[chrome widget]

Theres so many level requirements that make no sense....and lets not even get into occupations.

A cook should at least be at level one knapping, bare minimum.

[rocky copper]

or rather devs dont have to make each skill equal, we dont need to have 10 levels of knapping when theres just 10 items we can make with it, or make progression faster for these "niche" skills

[pallid hinge]

there is probably more items, we just don't have access to them atm

[rocky copper]

most infuriating thing this update is the maintenance skill for me, so important and so grindy, 2k kills in and still level 2

[chrome widget]

Whats your most used weapon?

[rocky copper]

Firereghter axe, oh regarding axes, i cant seem to find wood axes lol, everywhere its just firefighters axes spawning, and some hatchets

[chrome widget]

I think allowing super high level unlocks is fine, because it allows you to truly spec into just a couple if you really wanted to.
What if i wanted to use only stone tools and weapons and not get into forging them at all yknow?

[rocky copper]

its really a bad weapon but the only reason i use it because i got a bunch

[chrome widget]

Thats why while i was confused on some knapping level tool heads, i kinda understood it was for those folk who are gonna take a while to/dont want to do any metalworking.

[chrome widget]

Sir, go find a metal baseball bat. got my maintence up to level 4 super fast on vanilla settings.

[rocky copper]

skill leveling at the moment is unbalanced, thats why i said it, you can milk like 10 cows and be at level 4 animal care in no time, meanwhile you need to knap a truckful of stones to be level 3

[rocky copper]

i have but its low condition😭 and cant repair it only at maint. level 3

where did your find yours?

[chrome widget]

Sports store in riverside! OR look inside of fancy houses kids rooms in their closets. found one and a cool helmet in my spawn house.

[rocky copper]

sure, never visited major cities cuz the ammount of zombies that spawn in cities now

i wish i could make molotovs

can u take ss?

Ahh yes, the pretty candles 😄
The tiles are in I think its just the lighting and craft code needs fixing up on them so they work/can be crafted properly say

[crisp flicker]

Lols Ahh the good old days 😄 My brother showed me it back then and been hooked since 😁

[pallid hinge]

Sometimes I get nostalgic for those days (Alien zombies!) but I do love how far this game has come and super excited for it's future 😄

literally the only game I invest my hype into lol

[silk nova]

yeah i really hope one day placeable candles and lanterns and we can turn on them on when placed

[blazing coral]

was it a coincidence or the music cuts when the power goes out? if that's intentional kuddos to whoever did it.

[frozen wyvern]

Hmmm i wouldnt think its intentional but thats awesome it does that either way

[blazing coral]

can't wait for reworked electricity/plumbing

[silk nova]

are they said they are working on that?

[blazing coral]

iirc it's in the plans for b42. I just don't know if it will come during unstable

[silk nova]

oh wow amazing!

[fringe barn]

have you tried pressing Q with a harmonica equipped?

[severe egret]

I feel like this is bait though i wouldnt put it past TIS to add such an ambiguous feature and tell noone

[heavy crown]

You do infact play the harmonica. It's funny

[severe egret]

That is very cool

[frozen wyvern]

Wait actually I gotta try that

Also, where exactly is the bunker in march ridge? Im at the main entrance of the town

[pallid hinge]

Oh my gosh it actually does work.

Not a bait, that is actually really awesome!

I imagine that is how the whistle works too right?

[severe egret]

Must try saxaphone

[velvet egret]

[umbral raven]

[rocky copper]

hmm forbidden burger

[rocky copper]

there are megaphones too

and you need to use them due to how many zombies are in cities this build

And they work via Q as well? I know people were saying they didn't work at first

[rocky copper]

equip them

[pallid hinge]

ye

equip and then Q like the hermonica?

[rocky copper]

also firecrackers work well too

[pallid hinge]

I haven't found a megaphone or any firecrackers so far

[vague trench]

how do you work oh i wish i could read

[vague trench]

i found some ! theyre find how do i do spoiler lol

[pallid hinge]

LOL

[vague trench]

||school desks and gas stations||

[pallid hinge]

ahhhh

[vague trench]

i did it all by myself

[pallid hinge]

fair 😄

[frozen wyvern]

My character got the boredom moodle while exploring the bunker, like girl this is WAY more interesting than a comic book

[vague trench]

lmfao

[pallid hinge]

my stink free spot

[rocky copper]

do you guys think butchering should give more meat?

Like butchering pigs (a 100kg+) animal gives you only 2 pork chops lol

[frozen wyvern]

Hmmm what butchering level were you

[rocky copper]

and calorie values also messed up i have noticed... A full butchered chicken despite filling you up with 100 hunger gives you only 500 calories

no wonder this update im constantly losing weight, good thing i got cows and can print out butter

[pallid hinge]

yea they haven't rebalanced the calories yet

[rocky copper]

started butchering pigs at 4

butchering only improves the quality of the meat you get

its just drives me mad, also soft drinks dont have stats 😭 im pretty sure they have labels on their back

[pallid hinge]

my other stink free spot

[civic drum]

Taking a quick look, apparently in 1993, they didn't.

[frozen wyvern]

🤨

[rocky copper]

devs dont give a damn about 1990s, look at the fact that normal loot setting barely have any cigarette spawning, apart from cars and the occasional lucky find in a building. Im pretty sure half of kentucky was smoking cigs in the 1990s

Zombies never drop cigs this update, which they should

[civic drum]

Sure, but you were asking about the cans specifically, and cans in 1993 didn't have labels.

[rocky copper]

just an example

did 1990s have knapping books? lol

[frozen wyvern]

I mean its more about balance than realism

[opaque schooner]

Is that really a question you have to ask

[frozen wyvern]

But things are unbalanced right now

[civic drum]

I mean, there were probably knapping books in 1993, in specialty shops or libraries.

I doubt 5 volume series existed, but I'm sure there was at least one.

[pallid hinge]

I love to nap 🛌

[rocky copper]

also i dont want calorie count but rather it to state the fatique level and unhappiness level it will reduce like it used to

if a damn cookie can have it so can softdrinks

[rocky copper]

im pointing out things about realism and the unconsistency in game design, in a b42 channel

[frozen wyvern]

I mean he responded to you asking if knapping books existed back in the day

[opaque schooner]

There were absolutely books on knapping, survival, weapons, etc

Knapping has been around for many thousands of years

[civic drum]

I mean, I'm looking at a coke can right now, and it doesn't tell me how much of my fatigue or unhappiness it'll reduce.

[pallid hinge]

when it in doubt mod it in! but right now soda is scuffed anyway and needs to be nerfed

[civic drum]

It'd be nice if it did though.

[rocky copper]

does a cig tell you? does a cookie tell you? does a snack bar? in game it does. You just eyeroll how much satisfaction it will give you. You are nitpicking things bud

[pallid hinge]

it currently takes away 100% of your fatigue

[frozen wyvern]

I uh, think you're nitpicking. Theres no need to be so aggressive lmao

[opaque schooner]

Seriously

[frozen wyvern]

We're all here cuz we love the game

[rocky copper]

when was i agressive?

you are the one chewing your words into my mouth but sure

[frozen wyvern]

[rocky copper]

i was having a talk with @civic drum if you dont like it you can move on

[frozen wyvern]

Bro is in his supervillain headspace

and you must be the class clown

https://tenor.com/view/callmecarson-gif-22778952

[civic drum]

Technically I was being snide, you were nitpicking. Look, I'm still doing it. You're right that there should be mechanical consistency in either direction, they should either all not tell you what it does, or they should all tell you what each does. It's good feedback that you should definitely relay to them.

[frozen wyvern]

😆

[lethal wolf]

a rightful boon when so many other things are harder due bugs I say!

[timber talon]

anyone else has an issue refilling hurricane lanterns? when i refill mine, it uses all the gas in my gas can, but only increases the hurricane lantern fuel by a super tiny amount (like 0.012 or smth)

[rocky copper]

things probably will make sense when npc s are here since we wont start weeks into the apocalypse but until then i don't see a reason for them to leave it like this. Its not about turning up book loot its rather about making a "niche" part of the game enjoyable

[civic drum]

I've experimented a bit with them, and they seem to have a really high capacity, and a super high burn rate of the fuel.

[rocky copper]

make sure you have fuel if you did make a bug report at projectzomboid.com some things are bugged

[pallid hinge]

I am trying not to abuse it

[vague trench]

doe zombies hear the beeper in the spiffo vans when backing up/.

[lethal wolf]

And I stopped caring because I'll end up doing many more playthroughs anyway

[pallid hinge]

fair, I just prefer to not cheese things if I can help it

[rocky copper]

probably but your cars engine might be just louder than it

[vague trench]

im abusing soda

then i cry cause i want to go to bed at midnight lol

[frozen wyvern]

Soda gives SO much fatigue reduction its ridiculous lol

[vague trench]

and food lol or something i was very hungry and it filled me up? lol

[lethal wolf]

Next time I'll just not live in the wild without a functional road leading to it, since many things currently do not work in self-sufficiency way

[frozen wyvern]

Might be something bugged with the amount of stats it gives compared to the amount of liquid you drink

Because rn it feels like you drink like 6 sodas with just one

[lethal wolf]

I'm pretty sure drinking 1/4 of the soda no longer drinks 25% of the max volume but of the remaining volume at that point, giving you infinite drinks?

[frozen wyvern]

Thats a VERY interesting thing to test

[lethal wolf]

Given 1/4 of a 300ml soda is 75ml, but I'm having amounts like 91ml remaining and other numbers that definitely do not match with how the game used to work

and thats without adding water to dilute the soda

Infinity Stones are nothing, Infinity Soda is the most powerful weapon in PZ

[civic drum]

4 fried chickens and a coke is now the recommended daily nutrition.

https://tenor.com/view/4fried-chickens-and-a-coke-chicken-and-a-coke-food-hungry-starving-gif-17460089

[rocky copper]

with a whole chicken having 500 calories this funnily adds up

[civic drum]

Indeed it does! That's what I've been eating.

[lethal wolf]

Infinite butter, chicken and soda, apocalypse is meaningless

[rocky copper]

would be cool if the coffee we brew could be poured into bottles

portable wakey wakey

[civic drum]

I'd like to be able to mix coffee with alcohol.

[frozen wyvern]

Good ol Irish Coffee

[opaque schooner]

You don’t see a reason for books to exist?

💀

[vague trench]

i aswear zombies grew more braincells lol

[lethal wolf]

they eat peoples brains duh

[rocky copper]

god i love when people just twist your words and get exactly the opposite of what you are saying. I mean just reduce xp needed for niche things for the time

[vague trench]

lol 20000iq

wait are you saying if i eat human brains ill be smarter>?!

[frozen wyvern]

Exactly

[opaque schooner]

We were talking about books and you said you don’t see a reason for them to exist

[rocky copper]

youll just get prion disease

[pallid hinge]

mmm prions

[opaque schooner]

I’m going to block you, you are literally a talking table leg

[lethal wolf]

Puppers, patient zero of real life Knox virus

[rocky copper]

whatever, im too tired to argue with you

[vague trench]

i love folding

[pallid hinge]

🤣

[frozen wyvern]

Cops we got a prion hater over here

[rocky copper]

gotta love people like this, the superiority he must have felt

you are hating me for the love of hating, just point where i was rude or seethed

[frozen wyvern]

You literally just posted a gif taunting people

[rocky copper]

💀 if thats what you get out if it, just block me already

[frozen wyvern]

@vague trench I'm gonna try that mass reloading thing again and see if the lag spikes come back from yesterday

[vague trench]

lol good luck

BULLETOCALYPSE

earlier i dont know how but i was standing outside of a spiffos and standing in the street and i broke the windows with a tire iron lol and i cannot recreate it , so weird

[blazing coral]

I misplaced me sledgehammer 💀

[frozen wyvern]

Psychic blast

[vague trench]

yuck

[turbid gorge]

i feel like the new body dragging mechanic instead of being nice actually genuinely ruined the concept

it takes so long and it drains all your stamina making it even more not worth doing

i leave bodies to rot right outside my front door because i can't be arsed

[pallid hinge]

It'll get balanced

[opaque schooner]

It’s not very easy to just pick up most adults but your right

[pallid hinge]

but yea I still just let them melt away

I only use it if I am removing bodies from inside a place I plan on staying the night in

[frozen wyvern]

I think the body dragging is awesome for cleaning a base

[turbid gorge]

i hope they fix time acceleration being canceled when you click screen

[turbid gorge]

you could pick them up before and it was much faster and took less stamina

[frozen wyvern]

I wouldnt say it ruined the concept lmao

[turbid gorge]

and even THEN it was a slow pain in the ass lmao

[frozen wyvern]

Can you pick up a human body and put it in ur pocket

[turbid gorge]

theres a mod that lets you pick up bodies and time-accelerate to drag them all somewhere

i hope that winds up in base game at some point

clear bodies out of an area on time accellerate so it doesnt waste irl time

[opaque schooner]

Just use bikini tools if it ever updates to b42

It’s got a corpse mover

[vague trench]

lmfao

[turbid gorge]

it took up both your hands lol

rn time accellerate doesnt work right when doing things like walking

[frozen wyvern]

Wouldnt say that looked very good tho

[turbid gorge]

you used to be able to be on x2 and click walk and move more quickly on open ground

now every time you click a new point it interrupts time accel and is just annoying

[frozen wyvern]

Well that might get added back in

[lethal wolf]

if its a baby born too young, yes

[frozen wyvern]

Well that got fucking dark

[tired hill]

Where can I find a masonry chisel?

I can't knap my own at level 2 because i don't have the recipe :(

[lethal wolf]

warehouse, factory crates

McCoys is an awesomely easy place to get em if you're nearby

[tired hill]

fr?

[lethal wolf]

For some reason, all kinds of warehouses and factories seem to have same loot even if the factory has nothing to do with carpentry

[tired hill]

time for another trip >:)

[lethal wolf]

Also the warehouse/factory near Riverside gave me some, too

[pallid hinge]

I found one at a construction site as well, so be sure to check those as well

[lethal wolf]

masonry chisels seem to be rarer than carpentry ones, but I did find some thankfully

[frozen wyvern]

I havent found one and its a major bottleneck

That and iron rings for a wooden bucket

[lethal wolf]

iron ring? I have not seen such an item at all

[frozen wyvern]

I do wish that they would just consolidate all the chisels into one general one, having three feels overcomplicated

[pallid hinge]

just relaxing in my messy ass base after a hard day of zombie smashing

[lethal wolf]

Seem to have the highest chance for your chisel, vs warehouse crates, so I got lucky myself

In other words, rich people areas with their own garage either separately or in the house could be your thing

[lethal wolf]

I'll be sure to try live my island life and then post a picture how it goes once everything has a place on the isle, gonna be insane to carefully use the few earthy tiles and build vertical/piers

[turbid gorge]

i def dislike how foraging makes you tired still even with the new system in 41

[frozen wyvern]

Pressing Q when holding the Keytar doesnt let you play it, 0/10, worst game ever

[turbid gorge]

it shouldnt make you any more tired than walking and looking around ordinarily

[pallid hinge]

Sounds glorious

[turbid gorge]

being ready for bed at 1pm sucks

[lethal wolf]

but hitting people (zombies) with an eletric bass guitar makes a musical note sound tho, 5/5 even its slow

[frozen wyvern]

ok it gets 1 point back

I do hope they add all these cute little interactions to more items tho, they're awesome

Does blowing the whistle cause more noise than just yelling?

[lethal wolf]

ain't no way I'll ever go loot stuff again with my luck and muddy roads, I'll just blow up my wooden Ohio river wannabe bridge and never meet a zombie again...but I'm sure I will, playing on a single screen worth of tiles might get boring IRL when you can't do much once/if I get self sufficient enough

[timber talon]

could you help me see if you can repro my issue? i'm using an unmodded save - try refill an empty hurricane lantern via the crafting menu, using a full (10L) red gas can

[warm ocean]

You can knap em at level 3, hidden recipe.

i just did it again lol i broke a window from where my char is standing wtf? lol

[civic drum]

I can, but it'll take some time to really make sure.

[blazing coral]

is this the backrooms?

[pallid hinge]

Only ever seen that happen on servers lol never in sp

Servers where the person had very high ping

[vague trench]

yah i have no freaking idea what the hell causes it i tried recreating it in debug lol

[blazing coral]

oooohhhh I know what this is now

[warm ocean]

a morgue 🙂

[vague trench]

do regular light bulbs make noises when they blow out now?

i heard a weird crinkle crunch lol

[blazing coral]

wait I thought it went to the sanatorium

[lethal wolf]

you might wanna check the furthest window in your home, you seem to telepathically break glass in-game

[blazing coral]

wtf this place is making me super stressed

[lethal wolf]

Don't make loud noises, trust me

is your FPS below 30 there?

[vague trench]

yah is it low? lol

[blazing coral]

oh I didnt check. But I didn't feel like it

[warm ocean]

Honk once for free tacos!

[lethal wolf]

Honk once and never return

[vague trench]

that place is cursed right now lol

[blazing coral]

oh yea. went back there and it dropped to 40 fps from 165

[dusky sand]

so i've got exp on 1000% for testing, i'm sneaking around town leveling lightfoot and sneaking.. but my trapping is going up too. i'm assuming it's something to do with the rats everywhere. but why is my nimble also going up? all i'm doing is sneak running

[pallid hinge]

Yea they go pop

[dusky sand]

not trapping, tracking\

[lethal wolf]

I got a tracking level by foraging on my way through a forest path even I was searching for mushrooms and never, ever noticed anything animal related

[blazing coral]

I'm bringing 5 molotovs next time I'm in this neighborhood

[dusky sand]

hmm alright. know anything about nimble changes? I was sneak running around a while, first like, 4/5ths of the run no nimble levels. last 1/5th and my nimble shot up

[vague trench]

must have been what i heard lol thought my power went out finally

[warm ocean]

No that sounds like a gigantic generator shutting down

[vague trench]

ok , cool lol

[lethal wolf]

I mean possibly they expanded how Nimble levels, I got Nimble 3 from 1 surprisingly fast, and just holding rightclick when moving near zeds didn't seem the only logical way. Sneak running = you are...being nimble, able to do such a physical form of movement effectively

Perhaps you had zeds nearby, or perhaps Nimble levels like Sprinting does, randomly when sneak running

[dusky sand]

hmmmmm, ya well i'm sprint running near zombies rn and no nimble xp yet

[timber talon]

ur the goat tyvm, from what i can see i think the refill loop is coded wrongly and is taking out the entire contents of the gas can per iteration, instead of just the bit that its transferring - so it stops after a single iteration because the gas can is fully drained

[dusky sand]

oop spoke too soon. guess sneak running near zombies level's nimble! sweet

[lethal wolf]

I did do a lot of sneak running when trying to wrap my head around how zombie aggro works now, should explain how I got my nimble levels faster than usually

[dusky sand]

learn anythinng neat about zombie agro? :3

[lethal wolf]

Yes, with normal hearing/sight they'll come to your car as if you honked when you just drive normally, they don't give a fuck about your settings

[dusky sand]

eugh

[lethal wolf]

Mufflers at 90% condition or higher are perfectly capable of somehow making hordes of zombies outside of your screen to suddenly move to you as if you honked

[civic drum]

I can't be 100% sure, since there's some weirdness with draining on loading saves and some items, but I concur with your assessment.

[timber talon]

can confirm for small batteries, car batteries, sacks of sand, and cement buckets

[lethal wolf]

Essentially when moving hordes from a desired location via honking and driving a wide circle, you definitely need to wait a LONG time for them all to move, do multiple circuits. If you try to sneak drive behind their back, even without holding W and quietly "sliding", they'll be like "huh?" and start coming back

[blazing coral]

yea I noticed propane too today

[dusky sand]

there goes my strategy lol

[timber talon]

oddly enough, my propane tank is doing just fine sitting at full, and all my welding torches aren't losing charge

[lethal wolf]

it works, but you gotta really assume your car sound range is far bigger than before, and in worst case, when in doubt, herd them through trees

[civic drum]

I think it happens when you leave the cell/reload the game.

[lethal wolf]

perhaps a megaphone yelling works even better...

[hallow adder]

I find that if you keep the batteries inside radios and turn off those devices, then set those devices on tables / counters / anywhere that's not in the Inventory nor on the floor, the batteries will stay intact.

[blazing finch]

press Q

we'll give you a free sledge

[ornate laurel]

wth are you tied at 7:00 AM?

[blazing coral]

Pulled an all nighter

[blazing coral]

I did misplace mine and still haven't found it. I'm putting up missing posters on Riverside first thing in the morning

Have you seen my son?
Please contact me near the abandoned hospital by pressing Q

[subtle tendon]

how do i use the megaphone

[cunning turtle]

Good question

[lethal wolf]

How do you get stone wheels O_o

This is the start of my long project

[frozen wyvern]

Where is that?

[vague trench]

i wanna make that trash island

[lethal wolf]

Deerhead Lake

[hallow adder]

Grindstone? I think you can see the crafting recipe in the Crafting menu.

[lethal wolf]

Grindstone yes, but stone wheel ingredients I cannot see

[vague trench]

hang on i think i see it in mine

[timber talon]

odd, my propane stash is in rosewood and i've been visiting echo creek and muldy a lot

[hallow adder]

Look for Stone Wheel in the crafting menu, and set the dropdown filter to "Output"

[lethal wolf]

To give better directions, look for a big lake southeast-ish of Riverside
