#42.1.1 UNSTABLE Released
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
theres only one of each bug and theyre always in the same location, i found bee in a jar once but the rest are quite rare
thats cool lol
When will it be multiplayer ?
there's also firefly in a jar
It is in B41, it is called "Pages Per Minute" in the settings
When it's ready (there is still bug fixes and content that needs to be added before they drop MP imo)
iw ant firefly in pz!
I wondered how long will the devs realized we already know Spiffo is flipped in reverse. Maybe if there are some more secrets found, next patch gets released sooner?
make him upside down
bro why so hot
is it the interior of the car?
This is how u died
the best way to start the morning: with latte 😄
awh what lol thats so cool
what beautiful eyes
This system somehow immerses me so much omg.
I had a bunch of different kinds of booze and I looked up how to make different irl mixed drinks with them
ytho i just got here lol
ikr? i love the new fluids system, it's the beeeest for immersive things like drinks and cocktails
b42 base
nice
Can you mix liquids like that or is it a mod?
that's vanilla b42
More of an oversized piccolo at that ratio 
In this sandbox option, if this is enabled, does it mean I can dig dirt, put it in sack, and carry it up to the roof of the skyscraper in Louisville and plant my own garden?
Build 42.1.1 ^
Yes, but beware of performance issues
Oh, so that's why I can't make my farmland up on roofs.
Thank you
you could in b41 so idk why you couldnt here
Bugs affect everything
Probably something to do with how the game has way more z layers now
Best thing I could think of is farming updates sampling random cells, or all available cells at certain intervals, rather than keeping track of player-planted cells and updating them as a chunk occasionally.
Probably something that gets fixed later.
i started a new cdda run when the new patch dropped and after about 4 months of caring for and breeding chickens i got hit with a chicken bomb idk if its been reported or not that its still happening. I left the hatch closed as a bunch of chicks were growing to adulthood woke up and wondered why like 3 chickens were already outside when the hatch was closed. i opened the hatch and unleashed a terrifying chicken bomb that crashed my game on a 3090 in like 3 seconds.
i've done it before but i have no idea what the issue is now, what is the weird niche shit you have to do to mix a bucket of concrete
lol chickend
Building reinforced walls?
wut
lol
it's used in forge and furnace
aint got shit to do with crafting menu
being unfinished
is mp out for the unstable
nope, not yet
you can play splitscreen already, tho if you just want to play with one other person
cant wait to run over my sister with a car
A bucket filled with water and concrete
it was a bucket showing 10l but it was 9999.99ml when i opened liquid transfer, despite having two buckets with 10l of water (well 9999.99ml lol) and two empty buckets plus the concrete
not sure why they were shaved off so close
Do you have autodrink on?
off for those
Maybe car towing in the future?
Did you try to boil that water?
yeah it was boiled, not seen that slight cook off before, again the issue is more the silliness of the recipe not pulling from the two, def not intuitive, took me way too long to find the issue
i did have 19.998 ml of water present just not in the same bucket so
Yeah at the moment it can only accept water from one item
And boiling can have rounding errors like that
as with anything in the game, i will never forget now lol
I ❤️ TIGS 
anyone else finding that spawn rate seems way jacked up in the newest update?
Found another bug today, if you have stress perks ( currently have only tested smoker ) drinking liquids like milk or soda will heavily create stress on your character, about to read logs and report the bug
Might be a bug in game, but this is me irl lol
(minus the smoker bit)
❤️
https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/79031-4211-rev25941-smoker-and-possibly-other-stressed-traits-are-bugged-with-liquid-consumption/ Here is the bug in question
Version: [42.1.1] Mode: [Singleplayer/debug mode] Server settings: [N/A] Mods: [None] Save: [New Save] Reproduction steps: 1.) Start a new save in apocalypse mode with a character with smoker trait ( i was in debug at the time of testing) 2.) Get smokes, and get some liquids, i chose milk 3.) Wai...
LMFAOOO
so if you click on many food items and choose to eat them each time you click it will cancel any other food youre already eating and eat that one instead. I think this is a bug, it should create a list of actions to do and eat all of them, one after the other, being able to fast forward to eat them all too.
Yeah noticed that if you right click ANYTHING while eating it gets canceled
Yeah, bit annoying
Nice, I softlocked myself while doing burpee exercises.
I was trying to see if the B42.0.2 exploit works with couch resting + exercising to the max.
And then when I did so, I got myself softlocked.
I can't move out of the couch in 42.1.1
I'm just panting, and being able to interact with the UI
But I cannot move out of the couch. The game won't let me.
I'm going to quit the game and see if reloading solves the issue.
OH NO, I softlocked myself in the main menu 😭
Apparently, you can pause the game while you load the game. 😭
lmfao?!?!?!?!?
SDfkJDKNSDKFND
LMFAO
This is what I'm facing right now.
Note the "Game Paused" display in the center.
Since the game is paused, it cannot load the map.
I can't exit out of the game without the help of Windows Task Manager.
At least, the credits are still animating (fading in/out) in the upper right corner.

Did you try pressing the pause game hotkey? I doubt it would do anything but its worth a shot
Tried many times
That is an interesting bug
Can't even get out of the "Game Paused" state.
I posted the reproduction steps here. #pz_b42_chat message
did exiting the game with Task Manager remove the softlock?
Yes, I just need to restart the game.
And yes, everything is fixed.



Is fishing a good way to maintain weight?
Im doing a run with absurdly rare loot and i keep losing weight lol
Fishing is a great way to maintain weight
Ok neato, i felt like so many aspects of the new update didnt give enough calories so thats good to know
You can try doing a run with nutritionist
Build 41 -> The only renewable resource to maintain weight is by fishing.
Build 42 -> The only reliable way to maintain weight is by fishing.
I love how nutritionalist makes no sense
Just because someone was a nutritionist before the apocolypse does not mean they magically know the exact amount of calories and fats in every object lol
I mean, Cat's Eyes doesn't make sense either, we don't have night vision
Im mostly just joking
reminded of a video someone sent a while back
lmao i love this
24 hours is compressed into 1 hour so this should be fumbling for 24x the amount
is there an easier way to carry logs? I can't seem to bundle logs
similar, walked away from a pack with only one following , deadtired, full panic, gone into a house, closed the door in front of the zed, walked straight to the bedroom, took sleeping pills and blockers, went to sleep, instantly woke up with no time passed, still banging on the door, opened the bedroomdoor and 3 stood directly in front of it in a closed house with no time passed, that sucks ass
and it made me revert to 41 after other really strange encounters
if you fill a rain collector with gasoline and then fill any container from the rain collector you get clean water not whatever you put in
Is pipe bombing rat infested areas a reliable food source?
I'm tired of roleplaying sane individuals, game is suppose to be fun so I want to play it in a fun ways
I like the new way guns work, but i still think it levels WAAAAY too slowly
The liquid system is the only thing i didn't like it i still try to figure out for what they need it
actually succeeded in getting it refunded, thankfully
thought I'd mention it in case anyone else is having trouble and hoping they can refund it also
we'll see when it's stable release comes out, hopefully the RAM issues will be sorted by then and not abandoned
a fun feature for roleplaying in multiplayer, where you can dilude gasoline or put bleach in the water supply, but no real use in singleplayer
feels like a feature for the far future of the game
honestly a lot of features are looking too far ahead instead of focusing on the now
yeah you're right on this but i feel like thats fine for them to experiment on them especially since B43 will be NPC so most of the changes (already looted buildings, way harder to clear hordes, renewables ressources, more skills to developp so you can't be a jack of all trades etc...) are added to implement NPC. This build is kinda of a transitionary one where they prepare for the first Npc's, let them cook.
Chimken
5 years later 
Sorry man, i think its that ur computer just doesnt have enough ram or processing power
maybe, maybe not, lets remember they are a team who takes their time and they recently made really big updates on their roadmap B43 is supposed to come way quicker than the other builds due to the fact its probably already been worked on
Is it just me or are Buckets rare as fuck now?
i find them just fine in schools and stuff
getting closer to that January thursdoid
i dont think were getting anymore thursdoids lol
I thought they only skipped the last one cause Chribmas
Also thanks for the tip, imma head to rosewood then
its not even been thursdoid day yet lol
noooooooooo
i found mine in riverside and some on sheds in farms
i wonder if they spawn in cow farms or are farms just randomly generated as far as animals?
its probably because its mostly been bug fixing stuff i think
i always thought the blogs were for just keeping us in the loop during development or something
It is, there is a 5 year old vid teasing NPCs from TIS on YouTube and Reddit
machines I guess
Build 41. development video for Project Zomboid;
VERY EARLY WIP; Teaser test of the NPC AI Features and what it could look like later on in future builds.
Project Zomboid is the ultimate in zombie survival. Alone or in MP: you loot, build, craft, fight, farm and fish in a struggle to survive. A hardcore RPG skillset, a vast map, massively cus...
Enjoy
oh yeah i know i was just talking about that roadmap on the wiki
see what's inside 😉
no i dont wanna pillow
uhh only if penisham is one
with a peni$ as a wobbling head
Any nerds here play build 42 on Linux?
I’m thinking about staying on my arch Linux drive for a bit and don’t wanna switch to windows for a bit for gaming since I’m doing some stuff with Linux right now
Meee
How do you like it?
Works like a charm
I know memory leak might be a thing for Linux users currently with Zomboid but it’s nice to hear no issues
Runs natively i think
I’m thinking about trying out cacheyOS since I like the drivers that come with it
And the kernel
Wait what ?
Didn't see his comment in the last thread cause it closed
Likely won’t have thursdoid this month maybe idk
ahh yes too much to write I understand ;))
think the people that do it are busy fixing things lol
yeah I know and it seems fair
Totally
they probably took too much effort and now that the update is out they are irrelevant
I think it was nice before b42 tho
But now that it’s actually out it makes sense
It’s just too much writing
but the speed of these patches rolling out is amazing
Yeah we're not light on info or anything atm
busy beeberts
best beeberts
had doubt about how quick they will release hotfixes but I'm happy to see they are hard at work and things are moving at a good pace
let's hope MP will be out after this first half of 2025
ya i wanna give my sister food with bleach in it
i mean a thursdoid just saying "yeah we're fixing broken recipes and stuff" would be really redundant and would just make people complain that theyre not showing anything new
lol exactly
steam forums in a nutshell daily
when can i do that on a rat?
I think you need rope now. Sheetropes dont work
Patches do the talking? HELL YEAH.
Aye I can send gifs now
you know this is fake news ?
everytime something weird happens in KY, Project Zomboid gets a meme
Lmao
!heli
Lmao
Yep, feels way better for me. Unless you mean the recent, recent changes rather than the B42 overhaul
I would like to spawn without a firearm and having to look for one.
Probably a stupid question but how does sharpening work? I sharpened my axe but its still dull and now I cant sharpen it again?
Try getting aiming books they help alot
Yeah when you don't sharpen it regularly enough it loses condition which caps how much you can sharpen it
What percentage should I let it get to before sharpening roughly to maintain it best?
oh actually does sharpness cap out at head condition? If so Im a bit dumb
Easier to visualise than nothing, I appreciate it
Idk too much about head condition because I'm just using long blades but I know for long blades I'm pretty sure all u have to do is sharpen it
Also if in doubt just sharpen whenever it loses condition
Whetstones aren't to hard to come by
Yeah I guess with axes but probably blades too you can't sharpen beyond the same level as max condition maybe? I've been using blunt the whole time so who knows really. Also I was worried about sharpening removing condition but it really doesnt seem to be an issue ever
Diassembling an axe, and assembling it again, resets the head condition
If u diassemble and sharpen, it also resets sharpen condition
You can basically make an axe infinite, I think this is a bug
How often can whetstones be used before they get used up?
Can you make renewable axe heads without this bug?
Idk used it for so long it didnt look like it would ever wear down
Not sure, prob not apar from forging them
Watch Project Zomboid and millions of other Project Zomboid videos captured using Medal.
If you go to mccoys outside muldraugh you dont have to worry about whetstones like for the rest of the playthrough and I imagine there are other warehouses just like it
Plus you can make your own crude whetstones
I played b41 before the update and it ran extremely well
Howd you get it refunded then?
Not sure what that exploit is, but the thing they did to prevent the soft lock if you exercise until exhausted while crouching, is that starting to exercise automatically uncrouches you. were you crouched before you chose to rest? It might be those two states being unlocked by starting to exercise interfering with each other
speak for yourself. I absolutely have night vision in situations where most of my friends are completely blind.
to be honest, a lot of the knowledge stuff is kind of goofy, because it's basically assuming that your character has perfect recall.
see. I've totally suggested that you should be able to do that but with a bottle of bleach.
checking to see if it's just me, I searched chat and found nothing. with the recent fix they made for liquids having too much of an effect, like drinking a can of soda basically destroying your fatigue like you mainline some coke, it seems like they tweaked things that shouldn't have been? I drank an entire six pack of beer bottles, and didn't even get tipsy. anybody else unable to get drunk?
Havent tried beer but i got tipsy off half a hip flask of whiskey last night
Yeah the isometric perspective makes shit weird. From a 1st person perspective the brain can infer in the dark more than we can from a birds eye view. Its why i use cats eye but sadly it feels way too bright
gettting used to the lighting system does take time but finding a flashlight is always a must.
makes me want to open the curtains on my safehouse every time.
has anyone else suddenly begin to not be able to drag and drop items? you cant hold them because it instantly drops it. If i reopen the game its back to normal, i even thought about buying a new mouse.
its definetly a game bug
I could maybe get used to it if the game visualised sound source directions, but like, the character just gets way less information about their surrounds than we do irl 😅
I also hate that i cant utilize my full range of vision while crouching, as you make twice as much noise in combat stance
This is why I prefer having a safe house that is far enough away that the only time that's a concern is if I was dumb enough to lead a whole bunch back

How do you make a burger now? I have sliced bread, and a beef patty, and it's not showing up in crafting or as a prompt. I also apparently can't add the patty to a sandwich.
Burger buns
Oh, so beef patties can't be used on sandwiches at all with normal bread slices?
Oh, but I see you can put it into a taco.
lol xD
No sloppy joe for you
I mean.. The first time I found one, I was kind of disappointed. I couldn't.
Nice. I love it when we have near unlimited use out of tools we have.
That is why one is the stable version and the other is an unstable test version.
i wish pz was like terraria where anything that can be used in crafting says "material"
not saying it should say that but should be some way to see if something is usable or not
I know. and thats why I said I'll buy it again when stable 42 releases
Do you know if by diassembling and sharpening, reseting head condition is a bug or a normal feature?
Actually I dont even know if we need to sharpen
Yeah, it's not necessary
You can diassemble/assemble and head condidtion goes to 100%
Sounds like a bug
Lmao
I don't necessarily disagree however that sounds a bit weird. Like would a full durability fireaxe be a "material" or whatever because you can remove its head?
not my fault actions are counted as recipes in this game
either way, its not like i want "material" plasted on it
maybe like a box in the corner u can drag the item to
then shows recipes
fair enough
I think it'd be neat if something like terraria's system was implemented as well
recipe browser mod
most useful thing if you dont know recipes so the box thing in pz would help a lot
i alr know about sorting by required items but barely anyone knows about that
chilin
Chilling 
Chilling 


Yes
You can find branches on the forest floor as well
Right click and "Remove Branch" or something
yess just found onme
i love the new feels you get with the lighting
theres no way to retrieve the water from the feeding trough?
Something is causing a bug when having a fishing rod in your inventory
and attacking with a weapon
stucking the character in place
i cant plumb that sink, but why not?
LEATHERBOUND BOOK WHAT????
In Build 42, how do you build a storage crate?
The building menu
oh, building.
I thought it's crafting
Ok, another question, Why is ball-peen hammer the one type of hammer to use for building, and not other hammer types?
You can use all hammer types except club for building
The 'ball peen hammee' is just shown be default, click on it to see a full list
hmmm, the building menu didn't have that little icon that tells you all possible items you can use to replace the required materials / tools to build stuffs.
I can't click on it.
Oh really? Thats odd
Still sure you dont need a ball peen hammer specifically tho
hmmm
Unless its like that specifically for crates? Odd
can anyone help pls
Yeah, it's really odd.
Nothing I can do about it. Just gotta go find a ball-peen hammer
Plumbing isnt working in 42 sadly
Yeah, plumbing is currently broken. Need to wait for next patch to see if the devs fix it.
oh thanks i had no idea
Yes
why?
ai accusations
so took out to get rid of problems till they figure things out
kinda sad cuz update had just come out and no one was talking abt it lol
do players not like it if the art was AI-generated?
yep
Oh gosh this is a topic that opens a can of worms
Its currently an bad topic since some in the industry use it to cheap out or spam payed cosmetics... People do REALLY not like it if they use AI art without telling, lying or hiding. Properly done AI Art is an actual timesaver. (ONE example: Basically manager says "we need x". you do an "ai scetch" -> "you mean like this" and then go from there. Avoids the "i didn't mean it like that loops")
To answer your question, here is the answer from lemmy, the lead dev of PZ. https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1hgwecs/comment/m2mm818/
If you wan't to see one of the Problem childs: Look up "call of duty black ops 6 Ai art"
Things like this: People with 6 fingers, beard that flows into the face etc
I guess it shows that the devs for COD don't put effort into their game
my hot take is that I don't really care about loading splash screens
I see them for 2 seconds while my SSD loads my save
a dev that wants to make things perfect would commission an artist to create something hand-drawn
more that it is likely trained on sourced material without the consent of the artists
wait till the mods come
my mods haven't managed to slow my loading down yet, oddly enough
true, if its sourced from artists it would offend players who think plagiarism is bad
Well thats a can of worms for the copyright lawyers. Art is always inspired even when its hand drawn unless you are blind.
The problem starts when artist loose there job because of ai art that is based on there own work
Even if you are blind you could have someone describe it to you and be inspired by it 
It looked so damn good though.. was really sad to see it gone and hope it comes back.. only.. more performant 😅
plumbing is not yet implemented in 42
+1
Cleared the Brandenburg Checkpoint. Cost me most of my ammo (40+ boxes). All for 2 m16s...
The main camp was already looted 
I no longer like the prelooted setting lol
One of those m16s was on the back of a zed
I'm pretty sure the supposed changes that fixed the zed density not affecting containers which gun loot don't work currently
I CANT LIGHT THE FUCKING CAMPFIRE
IM DYING FROM STARVATION
I CANT EAT A FUCKING FISH BECAUSE OF THAT
yeah I mean the recent changes, the overhaul that came with B42 and the next patch was great and I think they were moving in the right direction
@marble horizon Please when you get some spare time, update the Anomalous Storm mod, such a good hardcore mod
Im still waiting for the ability to peek through doors without fully opening them...
what vehicle mod are you using?
[B42/B41] PZK VLC (Vanilla look-like car pack)
Im still split on it tbh
ty ty
naah fuck that setting unless we have npc
or if u use a 10yl playtrhough now its pretty good
heres a cool video idea if youre an youtuber
last video i saw was about how the new meta is eating slabs of butter solid and ignoring unhappiness and honestly that was pretty funny, we need a cinematic of this so we can visualize the dude just absolutely depressed, chugging slabs of pure butter one after the other into his stomach just to be bitten right after
wish i could ping the content makers in the server
lemme cook
So has anyone done an assessment of how Aim affects damage or accuracy with the latest patch?
Been experimenting a bit myself with a shotgun, and it feels fairly similar. I've racked up around 1500 kills, got to Aim 3, and when I swapped back to the starting pistol, the pistol felt a bit better. Hard to say overall though, and I'm about to give an assault rifle a try, as I'm working on clearing Crossroads Mall
@prime pine
BUT ME GAMING
Lmao
omg imagine theres a zombie sound whistle you can carve and get bloody clothes and do the whispers from twd, we need that mod NOW
I love b42
Lmao
i had antlers boopers but i dropped it idk where??? 😭
lol nooo
ok so messing with loot rarity in sandbox is not canon, we need to consider how the economy was going in 1993 in kentucky louisville and unless there is actual canon that proves its different from our history the loot rarity of everything should be very common, the economy was great and people had a whole week to prepare, the gun stores should all be mostly out of stock and survivor homes should be very common too
yea i agree with the gun stores ..this default apoc run im on right now i turned pre looted places on high and loot on default to see how it is survivior homes i would think would come a little laters or something but one save i did find two in one area lol
right when i spawned in but i cannot remember if it was 12 months later run or default
if youre playing 12 months later there should be entire societies in places like prisons or industry plants, trainyards, or just deep in the woods all made out of wood
its over guys what do i do next?
i might as well go clear out the trailer park and the two buildings to the south which i think are the burguer place and some other weak loot locations
actually i still got time today, ill check out the burguer place
is that in your current run thingie?
yea im playing it rn if you check my profile
Arson
how do you like living in that area?
i made it too easy, no zombie respawn, inactive during the day, theres barely any zombies left at all in the city
oh the fire station is great, right in the heart of brandenburg and very cool place to live in from a roleplay perspective, i turned the lower rooms into barricades filled with furniture to stop zombies and live entirely upstairs
nice, i walked through there on one save but didnt get a chance to live there it looks like its a decent sector
where did you pick?
im gonna try to live in lv in the city again lol , its so hard
i put pop start on low but still difficult , i wanna live near those huge skyscrapers

if you want to make it easier you can also disable respawn and make them less active during the day
and no sprinters ofc
thxn !
i like it very very easy, so i even lowered the health on them, thats why i finished brandeburg np, i even cleared out the prison and it was hella full
oh and also multi hit, that makes it all very easy
on fog days i always just stay at home, its crazy to go out in such low visibility, silent hill roleplay
lol i was feeling ballsy
and i think i ran over zombers and it flipped my trailer
dont worry i got this 2nd time !
lmao
youre not in my team in a zombie apocalypse
guys have yall seen fishnets in build 42 yet? im 3 months, cleared brandenburg and echo creek and havent seen even one of these.
yah i found some on a zombie i killed a couple times
i mean on a couple zombies lol
has anyone seen priest zombies in b42?
AYO WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST FIND IN A BASEMENT. FREAKY AS SHIT

There was cigarette in the drawer
