It wouldn't be as much extra damage, is my point.

#

you guys wish, but i doubt theres going to be multiplayer for atleast a few more months

ocean furnace
#

why would you want multiplayer anyway, get NPCs instead and you don't have to feel bad poisoning their food

Eh, it's earth without e and h

ocean furnace
#

lets hope b43 won't take 10 years tho

frozen lava
#

I wouldn't count on it

#

I love the game but I respectfully have to say that the devs are pretty slow

ocean furnace
#

at least its quality releases

frozen lava
#

It does have quite a few bugs and is unstable so yeah

#

For example wube worked on space age for abt 5 years and released it complete with nearly zero bugs

ocean furnace
frozen lava
#

I'd honestly be interested in why the devs are so relatively slow. Iirc they have a pretty large team

#

Fact is that project zomboid is certainly not alone in games with very low €/h and good dev support

ocean furnace
frozen lava
#

Besides wube probably does the same

#

My bet would be bad planning and constantly redoing stuff

ocean furnace
#

that is a question you can probably ask from the devs themselves, or they will see your messages here and reply something

somber python
#

this game AND Exanima are both extremely snail-paced in terms of updates but atleast each patch has a lot of substance to it and the gameplay itself is great so its probably all worth it in the end

#

its always the games i like the most that dont get updated quite as much as id like them to lol

ornate smelt
#

Retanaru's got new opinions on reverse engineering, but mainly the skill book system

frozen lava
somber python
#

yeah, you are

#

factorio does get updates but the only recent one that really had anything was the space age dlc + the free update that accompanied it, which was a good while ago

#

factorio runs amazing though and is a great game, even if not necessarily my fave

frozen lava
#

And was just 30€ for s couple thousand hours.

And then there are also the thousands of mods ranging from small to complete overhaul

#

Can't wait for the next banger from wube. Apparently they wanna make a RPG

a question arises, can you plumb underground sinks if a barrel is on above level (ground level)?

frozen lava
#

Hope we get piping to make plumbing easier

ocean furnace
#

my target base home has a pretty cool cellar, a mancave with an extra toilet

frozen lava
#

I'll have the most badass mancave in no time

#

Can't wait to build a literall mine lol. That should be vanilla honestly

ocean furnace
#

I just want perma mood lights but gotta have a lot of gas cans..

frozen lava
#

That thing is amazing

ocean furnace
#

I'll have to ask what that thing has to do with lights

frozen lava
ocean furnace
#

ah to store fuel?

frozen lava
#

Yes

#

That baby holds 300L

ocean furnace
#

now holding a full amphora would be amazing at the gas station

frozen lava
#

Get that mod for a semi truck with a liquid trailer and you won't need to

#

Besides you'd prolly have a better chance lifting a car than a full amphora

ocean furnace
#

aye sounds like an idea for a next run at least

#

have a feeling I need to launder even further parts of my newish PC through RMA process tho

#

kind of demotivating to start long runs when money doesnt get you quality

#

first RAM, then CPU, MB also got broken via heat damage from the CPU, now it seems like my 4090 is causing graphical glitches in PZ and other games

#

that kind of shit

#

I recalled the February Thursdoid is cancelled.

#

So no update tomorrow

#

Or was that the January Thursdoid?

frozen lava
#

Besides how in the holy spirit of christ did a overheated cpu not only destroy the MB but also somehow RAM?

trim raptor
frozen lava
ocean furnace
# frozen lava How the hell did that even happen? Like all at the same time?

I suppose the RAM were just actually broken at start, but months later (before Intel microcode patch) I started to really have these glitches and one of my computer savvy friends was strongly assuming it was the faulty Intel CPU causing all the errors, telling GPU to render things wrong. So I RMA'd CPU, got a new one straight (but immediatly bought AMD MB and CPU to swap to from Intel), gave this fresh Intel CPU to a friend along with motherboard, turns out the motherboard pins were heat damaged at the CPU socket as I never knew MB was damaged before. Now, I still get these glitch issues after 75% of my 5k PC has been swapped/fixed. So its RTX 4090 turn to go through RMA and maybe one day I can finally enjoy this expensive PC I bought in late 2023 🙂

#

I guess thats a possibility too lol

ocean furnace
#

unfortunately the rally is not part of the game so I have to purge the glitch somehow

frozen lava
ocean furnace
#

part of me hopes these issues are software but eh, I have no idea because I cannot find similar problems told by other people online

frozen lava
#

Don't you have any warranty on that gpu?

ocean furnace
#

I do, but I already spent 3 weeks without working PC in January xD

frozen lava
#

Should've gotteb a integrated graphics card smh

ocean furnace
#

maybe I should do the ultimate sin and post on Reddit to ask if people encounter similar issues in PZ etc, so smart people can tell me its GPU or software fault

ocean furnace
frozen lava
#

Alternatively try updatibg/reinstalling the driver and making benchmarks

Big difference between being sensitive to heat and being hurt by the sun

frozen lava

Would be fun to have a sensitive to sun setting

Would rather it be heat myself, since then cold days would be fine for em

#

But yeah would just be interesting cause itd be hard to loot interiors on hot days with zombies tryina cram in there. But unlike i am legend zombies theyd still be able to venture out to chase you until the heat slows em down

I honestly think they should just seek shade when set to night active

#

It's as simple as that. No need to force some dlc down everyones throat

ocean furnace
#

I'm a simple shill who advertises the game for free and paying myself for the copies

frozen lava
#

Simplest way to support the devs of a game

ocean furnace
frozen lava
#

It's a win win

grave stump
frozen lava
#

Just simply post the key and a "who wants a free game key?" In the title

bright trail
somber python
#

the chances of someone snatching that code and then selling it online are high

#

I say try to wait it out until you genuinely see someone who clearly wants to buy the game but can't afford it.

#

Then gift it to them in dms

grave stump
#

Yeah I posted but am DMing folks

frozen lava
#

And even then you have still completed your initial objective

somber python
#

alright i did have a brainfart when typing that but honestly if you just post it on a platform then you dont have a guarantee that the game will go to someone you'd like it to go to

#

but yes either way the game is being paid for

frozen lava
somber python
#

thats subjective

#

if i were giving it away it'd matter to me personally

frozen lava
#

Somoene may use it to go to the toilet or whatever doesn't matter the devs been paid and that all you tried to achieve

frozen lava
#

You are turning it into something bigger than it needs to be

somber python
#

again, subjective
I never said its wrong to just want to support the devs and not give a single shit what happens with the code later, or what person the game is gifted to

#

But not everyone will think the same way, and personally (PERSONALLY) i would care who ends up with the ownership of the game

frozen lava
somber python
#

you dont need to tell me that, im not the one who wants to give the game away

frozen lava
#

Or just google for somoene on reddit complaining about the games price in a 3rd world country

somber python
#

so true

grave stump
somber python
frozen lava
somber python
#

I wonder whether PZ prices compensate for inflation/other economic situations in foreign countries

#

because i know some games are technically much much cheaper in places like brazil

frozen lava
grave stump
#

I gave away for copies and going forward am going to give one away every two weeks to a person randomly picked from a list ill keep of names of people who DM me a sentence on why they want the game haha

#

thats my solve

somber python
#

id like the game because i asked for it haha 😜

#

kidding, ive had it for like half a decade

frozen lava
#

How you gon get people to DM you?

grave stump
#

Eh I just edited the reddit post and ill probabaly post each time. And honestly i've had mmo subs that cost about as much as PZ and i've already played PZ more than any mmo ive had lol

#

so ill just pretend its an MMO sub but other people get to play haha

somber python
#

W

grave stump
somber python
#

yeah i do

#

im just waiting till they put out more patches

#

balance the crafting further, add the remaining B42 features, that sorta stuff

grave stump
#

Yeah I get that, I can't resist trying it out so my approach is to play with B42 but only in towns i've been to and leave echo creek/the others for a fresh file when B42 is stable

somber python
#

a fair approach to it

#

i did already play B42, plenty of it, just cant bring myself to continue my mid-game save because i just cant stand some of the bugs etc
and i messed up some of my sandbox settings so thats a bit offputting too

grave stump
somber python
#

my survivor house/ survivor zombie spawn chances ended up being way too low

#

unfortunately you rely on them quite a lot when you want most of the new recipes for armor and weapons

#

some of the skills are outright just shitty to level up too

#

knapping for example is incredibly tedious and annoying, if you havent deliberately made it so your character starts with a few levels in it at the start

#

fishing makes almost no sense, i got like a 30kg fish on my first try

#

i remember some right click menu features just outright didnt work at all

#

my save at one point ended up being bricked and i had to be told by tech support to manually remove data from a specific folder to reverse the damage - deleting all my animals in the process

#

i realised that im sick of putting up with these issues for so long, so now i'll wait before 95% of these problems are eliminated, and the game gets a little more content

grave stump
#

Ah yeah fair enough, I guess thats what unstable is for at the end of the day

somber python
#

Well some of it didnt make any sense

#

i.e. some of the new crafting recipes

#

like just no sense at all, to the point i didnt understand how it was even possible

#

there were flaws in continuity/progression when it comes to the recipes

#

it lacked flexibility, sometimes you needed a very specific tool to do the job despite other ingame tools realistically being able to do it too in a pinch

#

or a high tier item was needed to craft a lowtier item

#

it all was just dumb, but i've seen that theyve been working on that

frozen lava
somber python
#

adding a few more options instead of all of them is still going to help tremendously

#

only having 1-2 options SUCKS

frozen lava
somber python
#

thats not "far too many"

frozen lava
#

Also 4 or so different chisel

frozen lava
somber python
#

i dont see how it would be a bad thing if it ever happened that crafting would have so many options for each tool because of the many variations of that same tool

#

if its realistically feasible why not

#

Do you want to rip your hair out over the fact youre unable to progress with a certain crafting recipe because one of the items requires you to craft something else that you cannot craft because you lack a very specific tool you havent found yet despite clearing a whole town when a different tool could do the job just fine as a substitute?

frozen lava
somber python
#

it dilutes nothing

#

all this does is make crafting more flexible

#

you wont want to kill yourself over not being able to find a specific variation of a item

frozen lava
somber python
#

i despise it

frozen lava
#

Like for example when you are looking for a welding torch and find 7 different types of hanmer instead

somber python
#

it IS annoying, because its so narrow

somber python
#

still, i dont think theres that many options in real life where you can not use a torch for welding

frozen lava
frozen lava
somber python
#

i dont want a mod, i want the options to be vanilla
even still, screwdrivers are one of these tools which are quite plentiful in numbers ingame (from experience)

#

welding is unfortunately one of these things where you need a specialised welding torch or you cant really make welds (correct me if im wrong), in the context of PZ, it is a profession of the past

frozen lava
somber python
#

its why theyve added blacksmithing, because its much more compatible with an apocalyptic setting

somber python
frozen lava
somber python
#

if you remember, there were some recipes which required a spade; but you couldnt really use anything else, so they fixed that by making a wooden spade craftable

somber python
frozen lava
somber python
#

they help, but that wasnt exactly my point, my point is for crafting recipes to have less narrow tool requirements

#

i.e. if multiple variations of a hammer can work with a recipe, then there should be more variations (or crude substitutes) for more specific tools too, such as the aforementioned spade, which they've done

#

it doesnt strictly mean these variations all have to be craftable

#

for example a big piece of bone could likely work as a very crude hammer

#

im not saying this should apply to crafting recipes across the board but definitely the lower-end ones, where you generally get more rudimentary items

#

it makes sense to only be able to create more sophisticated items and equipment via the use of actual specialised tools

frozen lava
#

Just look at the amount of hammers you can use in blacksmithing recipes

somber python
#

...there isnt enough for some of the recipes

frozen lava
#

Other than that there aren't many non specialized tools in this game which you could just use something else for

no but its game balance and alot of that armor is pretty strong so i dont mind, i just turn discomfort down anyways

frozen lava

it should first of all slow down interaction and crafting speed since you'll have far less manouverability in such clothes

id rather have that than it causing some wound or something related to medical

  5. How do you hope to benefit?

To upgrade a wall, simply select the wall in build menu and build it over the lower level

To plaster a wall right click on the wall when you have materials. Keep in mind that not all walls can be plastered, currently I think the 3rd carpentry tier and 2nd masonry tier can be plastered

The Connection is Made - Project Zomboid

Hey everyone. Jumping straight in with an update on the new and improved crafting system this time around if that’s okay with y’all. As we’ve talked about in previous Thursdoids, a large part of the crafting overhaul revolves around creating a unified, powerful and expansive system for machines, crafting stations and appliances. This covers all ...

# ionic schooner ??? Includes ?, ? And ?

I asked ChatGPT for percent chance it said 10 lmao:

As of March 1, 2025, Project Zomboid’s Build 42 has introduced various animals, including sheep, chickens, pigs, cows, rats, rabbits, and deer, primarily to enhance crafting and survival mechanics.

Regarding the inclusion of dogs and horses:
• Dogs: While early discussions mentioned the potential for companion animals, including dogs, the current implementation in Build 42 focuses on animals that contribute directly to crafting systems. Therefore, domestic dogs are not part of this update.
• Horses: There has been community interest in horses, particularly as potential mounts. However, there is no official confirmation of their inclusion in Build 42.

Based on the available information, the likelihood of domestic dogs and horses being included in Build 42 is approximately 10%. This estimate accounts for the current focus on functional animals and the absence of official announcements regarding these specific animals

# teal geode It's not. Those are only coming after human NPC's

I mean a basic version of horses I feel like could work. It would just need to eat stuff and drink, which current animals do, you can feed current animals too so you could do that for the horse on the go, then they'd need new content for riding it basically and animations etc

#

not a small amount of work but possible in the current animal framework I think. I agree dogs would need new behaviours that they'd need npc stuff for probabalyt

If you've ever used debug to build something with a proper roof you'd know its not easy. They'll have a job in front of them trying to make it less painful

Multiple tiles spanning multiple micro levels of height. You can only even see the level you are working on by being above it. Northside isnt even visible/real. Its a nightmare lol

Tiny nitpick suggestion: can we get "12 gauge" or something added before the name for "shotgun shells" so that they group with loose ammo in the inventory and not after boxes of ammo?

At this rate, we will hit April likely.

It's pretty easy once you know how to make campfires and have 2 vehicles.

Don't mind about the loot and buildings because I know my world will get deleted.

Player built walls should at least work like doors do. One zombie alone should barely dent it.

At the moment of my post it needed a new save, but we are going over the changes that affect existing saves, trying to improve on that. When it is released keep a backup and try to load it

Curious.. the game definitely calculates filling throughout sleep, but i wonder if weather states can change during sleep. If so, maybe it stopped raining for most of the night and started again before you awoke

#

I've definitely gained up to 100L overnight before but wether or not thats less than you'd get in b41, i have no idea

Actually, maybe it would be better if someone else create a legitimate game save with at least 1500 zombie kills and have looted most of the houses to the devs.
