[gritty gale]

thank u

[acoustic pasture]

Np

If needed I can send my .blend file that I have. You’ll just need to retexture it

[silver galleon]

I love it

[rose kraken]

@stoic frigate you can now smelt 1 forged fork / spoon and get a large crucible with iron, cast 1 iron bar > cut bar > 2 halves > 4 bar quarters > 8 forks / spoons

[little path]

Did old B41 TV channels get any changes in b42? Or it's all the same and a few new ones?

[sacred warren]

asking the real question

[regal depot]

Yall still havent fixed the spiked motorcycle helmet on male models

[acoustic pasture]

I forgot spiked armor even existed

I’ve never seen it in game.

[winter flower]

Needs to be crafted or found on certain zombies. Not sure if the spikes help out in single player, but will be useful on mp

[acoustic pasture]

Never seen a spiked zombie before.

[brazen vale]

INDIE GAME STORE RELEASE MP AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[silver galleon]

I ♥️ TIGS

[silver galleon]

Only time I have seen it so far was a week one run in 42.7 on a corpse

[brazen vale]

Was the original guy who said indie game store on Reddit or discord I can’t find it

[hot knot]

i too bounce off of people like they are made of some sort of elastic material in real life

[modern wasp]

😂

[analog spear]

lol forgot about that guy

theyre not your fwiend

[sterile cradle]

I implore you to dash through the streets head first into people walking the opposite way, you'll see

[hot knot]

yes because i too weigh as much as a cardboard cutout and will instantly collapse the moment any sort of opposite momentum is applied to my body

[sterile cradle]

Adepticus Vs wall of human flesh (that wants to eat them)

[hot knot]

id win

considering that flesh has been rotting for a couple days

id be more scared about tripping into some zombie goop and getting swarmed

[sterile cradle]

It honestly depends on the whole bouncing off people thing, I think it's supposed to emulate subconsciously trying to avoid them slightly, or having your step knocked slightly sideways, could do with some work, but I like it because it stops a certain breed of player from doing their thing

[hot knot]

idk i think limiting gameplay just because you dont like the style is stupid

especially considering people dont bounce off of other people in real life unless its the ramming into eachother and collapsing type of bouncing off

if they just made it so that youd like 100% trip if you were in a swarm too long that would be horrific and would punish you for your actions

in real life id much rather take my chances brushing past some zombie shoulders if theres an exit behind em than just letting them approach and eat me

the biggest issue is that it doesnt matter the group size, youll deflect off of one zomboid and that could get you swarmed because its blocking a thin corridor and you keep bouncing off of it

specific example but it happened to me soooo

[floral pewter]

finding those VHS tapes to help me level up those skills are a life saver.

[civic wigeon]

Those ragdoll physics ... I'm starting to picture now ... You're riding a horse. You've got yourself a rope. and you lasso zombies and drag them around for fun. XD

[gritty gale]

The new push is insanely deadly in close areas

Almost died in march ridge apartments from it

[civic wigeon]

push?

[hot knot]

zombies have a magnetic field and since the player is the opposite charge you now bounce off

[modern wasp]

the setting that makes zombies stink should be on by default 🙂

[dusty owl]

Is it... not on by default? Is "rotting corpses are, in fact, stinky" not the default?

[modern wasp]

it is not, you have to kill the zombie before it's plastic cover that holds all the stink in breaks XDD

[dusty owl]

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-kek-bttv-twitch-emote-gif-15123134

Okay, that's fair

It's all those clothes you see, all the clothes covering barely even an inch of their body because it has 15 holes in every item and is barely holding together

[modern wasp]

lol it's holding all the stink in XD

Make all zombies naked so they stink like they should

[gritty gale]

when you run into a zombie you bounce in a random direction

in open non horde areas its pretty ok

in tight corridors its super bad

[modern wasp]

anyone had a chickensplosion happen within the past few updates? I'm still scared of them lol

[gritty gale]

is the "looted" state chance going to stay as is?

I went to a military bunker and the entire thing was looted

[modern wasp]

it would be really nice if animals also had grouping behaviour like zombies do, so you could have a massive livestock zone and your cows would be relatively close to each other

[civic wigeon]

You are right to be scared of chickens. They are opportunistic omnivores and they won't hold back on trying to eat you. I'm serious.

[analog spear]

they do infact enjoy a good pecking

[modern wasp]

🙀

[toxic lion]

I don't want to play Project Zomboid like in the 1800s.

[modern wasp]

how many matches do y'all think are in a matchbook..... if you guessed || 10 || you'd be right. that's still double the amount of cigs a refillable lighter can light. and over double the disposable lighter

[floral pewter]

running over rabbits with a car hood went from 100% to 80%

[analog spear]

lol

[modern wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-triggered-fists-swing-angry-gif-15404794

[surreal falcon]

accurate, my bunnies, when charging around chasing each other, make loud crashing noises with any object that they swerve into

[floral pewter]

those rabbit seem to blend in the the puddles on the roads.

[marsh zinc]

is there a sandbox setting to tweak car damage

i'd like to cut that shit in half, it's a bit ridiculous

[modern wasp]

there is

i don't remember where or what ut's called tho lol

[regal depot]

When you're like 3 months into the game gladiators and spiked zombies spawn in

Even with respawns off they spawn in late game and thats how i had a whole crate full of metal gear in one of my saves

[gritty gale]

never seen one of those ever

[regal depot]

Just keep exploring you'll find one eventually

I ran into one at that boat in brandenburg and almost shat myself

[oblique harbor]

guys is this normal

i went into rosewood fire department and there was like

7 survivor zombies all in the little medical room

[wicked steppe]

it can habben

[oblique harbor]

they spawn in groups?

didnt know survivor zombies could do that honestly

[wicked steppe]

It's probably a story

unusual spawns like that usually are

[oblique harbor]

there is no items strewn around which is confusing i thought it was a story also

they all have bags and good gear theres also a few police zombies

[acoustic pasture]

I remember in b41 I was in muldragh, and there was like 10 survivor zombies inside the medical place by the convenience store

I scored like 6 large bags it was crazy

[oblique harbor]

idk if it is intentional or not but if it is then its pretty cool to find zombie suvivor groups

im playing on vanilla too so it cant be something modded

[thin python]

Items don't need to be strewn around for it to be a story

To know for sure what it was, it would be best to check what building stories can spawn in that particular building through debug mode

[acoustic pasture]

It's happened before

Honestly most of my survivor groups have been found in muldragh.

I've seen them wander around in groups of like 2-3.

One had a large bag and a baseball bat and the other had a pipe

Then one of the coolest stories in my opinion was a small survivor group by the muldragh bar in b41. There was a group of 3 survivor zeds, one had a hatchet and a hiking bag and the other two had hoodies and spears

[floral pewter]

surviving very long and getting close to the 1 month mark.

[analog spear]

yay ghost!!

[stray tundra]

When did this clock start working? It now has animation and shows the correct time.

[analog spear]

i think this patch someone either in here or b42 chat pointed it out lol its so cool

can we have different wall clocks types now?! like those creepy ass black and white cat ones

[stray tundra]

I was just sitting in my thoughts and thinking how cool it would be if the clock on the wall showed the time and then I took a closer look and it really did show the time, my surprise knew no bounds🤣

[analog spear]

lol

must collect all clocks and make a clock wall

[floral pewter]

found a pocket watch

[analog spear]

have we always been able to place stuff like this? ITS SO COOL

[modern wasp]

wait how are you placing trash piles? I don't remember that being a thing

[analog spear]

you can pick them up lol

since 41 best feature evers

[modern wasp]

oooh i thought you were creating them lol

[analog spear]

noo lol just picking up and placing

[modern wasp]

i don't know why i thought that XD

[analog spear]

hey you never know lol

[floral pewter]

riverside post office looking for recipe magazine even finding some nice parcels with a fridge , desktop computer any many more items found.

[stray tundra]

What happened to the music in the game? Previously, in version 42.1 there was more dynamic music and it even seemed to me that its quantity was larger, but now everything is back to the 41 build

[analog spear]

dangit, i just went to the veggie palce to try and find boxes

[subtle hare]

Guys, I was playing and my pc turned off without saving my game, and when I restarted, my character had become a smoker, it is that normal? lol

And the electricity returned, I think my game is broken

[toxic lion]

Did you play on the Build 42.8.1?

There is a feature where, if an unexpected thing occur to your game, your game save should be mostly intact.

[analog spear]

lol , so stressed while the pc turned off they turned into a smoker

[subtle hare]

yes, I was playing in 42.8.1

restarted almost in the same spot, but the date reseted to 1/1 at 00:00

anyway, I died and lost a game where I survived almost 2 months (all time record for me)

[hearty relic]

they did not fix the animal trailers

[toxic lion]

Report it over on the official forums.

[hearty relic]

this has been an issue since december i think its already been reported

[gritty gale]

Guys what is best Louisville base location

[keen gazelle]

Spiffos HQ 100%

[gritty gale]

What made you choose that

[keen gazelle]

I like spiffo (I die on day 15 trying to base at spiffos, so my advise may be questionable)

[gritty gale]

sounds like perfectly good advice to me

[fickle elm]

can't dismantle steak knife, literally unplayable. I need to melt down EVERY metal object on the map to fuel my metalworking rage.

[modern wasp]

dismantle car wreaks. i promise you'lll never need to melt down another object XD

[fickle elm]

this is also good welding exp

also, the grind to get a sword is so worth it. Once it's close to breaking you can just smelt it and resmith it.

[floral pewter]

surviving for 15 days so far and some day that power will go out which means the real survival will begin.

[silver galleon]

🎉

Party time

[floral pewter]

I always love when the power goes out and needing to survive long term with generators, farming and many more fun things.

water shut offs need to be more challenging to the point where the pipes should go dry forcing the player to consider rain collector barrels and leaving containers outside to collect some water.

fills 20 water bottles after a water shutoff while sinks can fill 2 water bottles

[magic plover]

I hope this will change when resource heavy NPC land the scene. But I agree with the sentiment, water shutoff is barely noticeable as of now, and doesn't move the survival needle one bit

[cunning wagon]

I also love the challenges that the outage brings but I just can't give up the night lights, they are so beautiful. I wish the outage was like "this month no light, next month there will be light", so that I can enjoy both.

[high mauve]

nah. that would suck

permanent no power is still the best

[solar ore]

wish we had functional ice as an alternative to generators

[marsh zinc]

like as a temporary refrigerator replacement?

would have to stock up on a lot of ice for sure but it'd be nice to have an alternative

[solar ore]

maybe whatever they could think of. My mom used to put fruit in the river while we were camping because the water was so cold

[marsh zinc]

yeah i agree
technically you could also dig a deep hole somewhere and have it function as a cold cellar

just something that would require the existence of additional mechanics for the most part

[fickle elm]

The distinction between iron and steel matters right? Like some tools can only be made with steel?

[marsh zinc]

think so

[modern wasp]

just having food last longer in a basement would be neato

[modern wasp]

also being able to use a kiln with a torch or something would be grand... seeing as lighters have like 5 uses, disposable has 4, matches have 10 lol. it's absolute insanity

[floral pewter]

Conspicuous trait in build 42 is good free points in negative traits due to the new stealth and line of sight

[marsh zinc]

conspicuous was free points even in b41

[floral pewter]

build 41 also had more zombie spawns even in rural areas of the map.

[marsh zinc]

yeah but thats not too relevant

[fickle elm]

Not me harvesting every lighter I can from zeds

[modern wasp]

i'm suffering from lackoflighteritis

[modern wasp]

damn, it took me an ingame month to figure out and grind blacksmithing, all to make a simple shortsword and..... about 7 zombies later it's totally blunt and at half condition 😭

[analog spear]

is it pretty easy to fix?

i love the swords lol

[modern wasp]

i have no idea

lol i want to love swords, but if they're all as shit as this one idk XD

[modern wasp]

metalworking NINE just to make a doorknob 😭

[fickle elm]

Very easy to fix. You melt it down in the furnace to make chunks, then smith those chunks together to a rod, then smith sword again. No metal lost.

[analog spear]

ah nice! that aint too bad then

[fickle elm]

The scrap metal sword requires 5 metalworking and can be made at a primitive forge. It's a pretty good weapon early into the smithing grind.

[analog spear]

i love that sword haha, i found it on a zomber and it was so fun just hitting them little turds with it

[fickle elm]

If you use two iron rods to make an anvil, that gives you 40 crucible units of iron (in two crucibles each with 20 units). 32 get used to make the anvil, and with the remaining 8 you can make two iron bars which then makes two swords.

Then you can cycle between the two swords, resharpening and reforging as you go.

I figured this out last night and it will be my strat moving forward.

[analog spear]

thats awesome lol i need to try that

https://tenor.com/view/swing-sword-sword-viggo-mortensen-lord-of-the-rings-aragorn-gif-17682018

[modern wasp]

i really do feel like welding and blacksmithing should be merged, and i'm thinking about it because of mp servers. welding resources (and electrical for that matter) are non renewable as far as i can tell, there's only so many cars to disassemble. or if not merged then let blacksmiths create parts for welding buildings like welding rods and scrap metal. Though i suppose propane is also non renewable :/

And electrical is going to end up like carpentry, no tv's, lamps, clocks anywhere to be found lol.

[fickle elm]

they were merged, but they got split up for B42

I'm okw ith them being separate but I think welding needs a lot of fixes

[modern wasp]

i just feel like there's not near enough welding materials and xp to go around in a bigger mp server. people want their chain link fences danm it XD

also why tf are doorknobs locked behind level 9 metalworking XD you can literally find them anywhere there's no reason to make them that hard to make

[analog spear]

i dunno i play with pre looted on very high now and i just get them off the floor , its probably mainly for wilderness stuff

[modern wasp]

why are doors the final boss of wilderness runs tho

[analog spear]

safety? lol i dunno

[winter flower]

I still thinks it funny that we actually had ragdolls confirmed in 42.1.1 update

[modern wasp]

god forbid you cough around domesticated animals ._. i hope this gets tweaked

[thorny sparrow]

I feel like it would actually be pretty difficult to blacksmith a doorknob with all the small precisions parts etc

But there should be a simpler alternative like a latch door or something

[modern wasp]

that's fair but i'm just thinking in terms of balance

[thorny sparrow]

Yeah I agree there gotta be a simpler alternative alternative if they are keeping it at 9

[fickle elm]

does aiming affect gun damage?

because I was killing some pigs for leather to make large bellows, and I had a .223 rifle and it took like 10 hits to kill one sow

(I confirmed each hit using the pig's noise and the aiming exp counter--it took more than 20 rounds to kill the two pigs)

[modern wasp]

I’m amazed you could shoot the pig at all, on my end all animals can’t be targeted or shot by guns

[fickle elm]

I had to get up right to it and the reticule wasn't telling me if I was actually aiming at it or not, the circle just got smaller

also the process to make leather for large bellows is pretty insane lol

there are four separate crafting stations you have to construct

[marsh zinc]

They were separated because of obvious difference, welding is the "old world's" profession unfortunately limited by the existence of a good welder and enough propane to come by

Blacksmithing is timeless (or meant to be, anyway)

It just needs tweaks, not re-merging

[fickle elm]

Note: forge welding also exists, and you sorta do it in-game where you merge two metal chunks together. IRL this requires borax flux which is not an item in PZ.

[marsh zinc]

The more you know

[fickle elm]

also with how complicated the blacksmithing chain is, it would kind of suck if you also had to do welding in that process just to justify the two things being the same skill

[oblique harbor]

i have a burning question for the devs (literary)

to do with the new fluid system

shouldnt fluids be able to be spilt or poured into a puddle or soaked up

when you empty a container onto a floor it just doesnt even do anything atm so idk is that subject to change or what

i could think of alot of things that could be poured out but tbh Water and gasoline are the only two fluids that really make sense to actually add

[civic wigeon]

pour a line of gazonline ... to a pool where you set a zombie killzone.... strike a match, toss it into the gazoline ...

and then water on an inside surface could make the floor slippery. XD

[oblique harbor]

if they went actually added this to the fluid system it would be a lot more fun

[civic wigeon]

imagine pouring water in the stairwell hoping your 'friend' breaks a leg in MP XD

[oblique harbor]

or it making sprinters have a chance to fall and possibly making shamblers slip over

that would be so gold

[civic wigeon]

or well ... if the player is clumsy ...

you can forgot there's water on the floor, and end up slipping. XD

[oblique harbor]

tbh would be cool if you could go in an abandoned building and it be potentially covered with water and maybe leaking roof or smth

fire hydrants making puddles

[civic wigeon]

or the sides of a broken/open window could become wet.

if its rained.

[oblique harbor]

yeah if its just got planks on it too

i feel like a sheet could stop that

maybe if the sheets became wet

over time

[civic wigeon]

so ... anything that would block sight outside would be enough to stop the rain from coming in.

[oblique harbor]

anything realistic enough yeah

like lets be real even tho 4 planks blocks line of sight it wouldnt stop water

metal sheet deffo would tho

[civic wigeon]

though my favored defense personally is metal bars..

[oblique harbor]

metal bars with sheets would be fine

maybe they add tarps

make it water resistant

[civic wigeon]

lets you open the sheets and see what's outside before you leave.

of course, the best is to have intact windows.

[oblique harbor]

ye but tbh they dont last long unless you are super cautious

sometimes they feel paper thin

[civic wigeon]

and bullet resistant windows would be ... seriously hard to come by.

[limber prawn]

the game already has iron ore

it just doesn't spawn

you're supposed to mine and craft later down the line... (hehe)

https://tenor.com/view/minecraft-minecraft-movie-a-minecraft-movie-steve-jack-black-gif-17997916878979753001

[modern wasp]

Y’all asking for slippery floors… just stay home whenever it rains I guess 😦

[modern wasp]

it would be such a qol change to make it so if you can't wash all of a certain catagory, you could still wash everything you could. washing tons of rags in any finite water source is pain

[thorny sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/hop-on-minecraft-gif-5754025236392587692

[solar ore]

if you craft a sandbag wall. can you dismantle it and get the bags back?

[dusty owl]

https://tenor.com/view/penguin-fall-trip-slippery-slip-gif-5155073

[solar ore]

what is this sewing pattern i found on the wiki?

[marsh zinc]

they're like a schematic but for clothing

every sewing pattern teaches you a random single recipe

[solar ore]

oh? so it replaces the sewing magazines?

[marsh zinc]

i dont know, maybe?

sewing patterns are really new so not that much is known about them

[solar ore]

wiki is empty since it just came out, and i havent found one to see exactly what it does

[uncut inlet]

popping in here again to ask- anyone know if there's a mod to revert the change to jog-bumping zombies yet?

[marsh zinc]

i forgor

[toxic lion]

That's a base game mechanic. I haven't seen anyone wanting to remove this mechanic.

[uncut inlet]

i am aware it is a base game mechanic. that is why i'm looking for a mod that removes it. also every single person i have mentioned this change to save for one has mentioned that they don't like it, but nobody's bringing it up because ragdolls are the much more pressing thing in this update.

[surreal falcon]

Is the above mechanic new in B42, because I don't think I have faced it before

[toxic lion]

Yes

[acoustic pasture]

What change did they make to jog bumping them??

[toxic lion]

Patch note 42.8.0

It gives you a slight random direction when you bump into a zombie as you run through them

[surreal falcon]

sounds like I'd die to it

[acoustic pasture]

That's a bit silly. But so far i've never seen anything like that

[toxic lion]

To mimic how unpredictable you will get when you attempted to brush past a zombie.

[acoustic pasture]

Actually honestly that feature might've saved me

Cuz i remember running into a room with like 4 zomboids

[surreal falcon]

better not tell my friend later on that "just run through the zeds, don't make a final stand", he never ever tries to even run through zeds normally in an emergency

[toxic lion]

which is actually a smart decision right now

[acoustic pasture]

I only bump into them if i really need to.

[toxic lion]

The jog-bumping into zombies is an exploit.

[acoustic pasture]

Like if they're in a door way or sum

Fuck out da way!!

[uncut inlet]

it's not a slight direction change

[surreal falcon]

Depends, in my friends case he tries to take on 7 zeds in melee close range if they block the exit 😄

[uncut inlet]

it... isn't? it's a fully intended mechanic

[acoustic pasture]

I pick clumsy so i'd be dead either way..

[uncut inlet]

think of it as shoulder-ramming the zombie to force your way past

[acoustic pasture]

What did they change then wha?

[toxic lion]

Well, the devs thought otherwise, and nerfed it.

[acoustic pasture]

I'm confused..

[uncut inlet]

if it was an exploit they would've removed it

[surreal falcon]

I don't know why it would be an exploit...when in dire need, you charge at the zed to push it aside so you get a small opening to escape?

[uncut inlet]

also. uh. the devs have... questionable opinions on game balance at the best of times. gestures at butchering.

[acoustic pasture]

?

[toxic lion]

Hmm, I don't see my character jog-bumping into zombies and running backwards though. That's why I thought it's just slightly pushing you to a random location relative to where you were intended to go to.

[surreal falcon]

Suppose player feedback is the key now, if a lot of people hate the random direction addition, might get overturned

[uncut inlet]

like almost a full 90 degree turn, which also immediately forces to stand still and turn back in the direction you're already holding

[surreal falcon]

but a better compromise than making zeds immovable objects

[uncut inlet]

this is why i'm so vocal about it

[acoustic pasture]

That's weird

[toxic lion]

Huh? full 90 degree banking turn?

I haven't encountered that.

[acoustic pasture]

I don't think if you bump into something you'd turn like that..

[uncut inlet]

if it was pushing you without changing direction it'd probably be fine

[acoustic pasture]

The old jog bumping was just fine..

Hmmmmmm

[uncut inlet]

but the directional change followed by forcibly turning the direction you're already holding feels awful- it's the same reason people hate fence lunges; you get sent careening in a random nonsensicsl direction

[toxic lion]

There was an "exploit" (judging by devs) where you can run/sprint through a horde of zombies and overpowering them when they attempted to grab you.

[uncut inlet]

it was a gamble, though

[acoustic pasture]

In my experience i've never in my life had that happen to me

[toxic lion]

hmms

[acoustic pasture]

If i ran through more than 4 i'd get grabbed and eaten alive instantly

[surreal falcon]

Is it related to Retanaru's reported "20 FPS immortality" thing? 😄

[uncut inlet]

you had to hope you wouldn't trip- if you did, you were dead

[toxic lion]

I'm not sure.

[surreal falcon]

Because he made a video about it, with 20 fps, you can just keep running in a horde, they'd never be able to catch you or do anything to you

but that's probably well before b42, so

[toxic lion]

I think that's different

[surreal falcon]

probably, but similar result, can just plow through zeds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kygoc-YmXMM this is the one

[toxic lion]

yeah, totally different

[surreal falcon]

fine, fine

[toxic lion]

Either way, to answer the original question, I haven't seen such a mod that removes/disables the jog-bumping mechanic.

[surreal falcon]

haven't played PZ since 42.3 or something, so probably missing out all this

[marsh zinc]

i think ive stopped palying somewhere around that number

waiting till 42.10 or something

[modern wasp]

uh, about the bumping changing your direction... I did a complete U turn by tripping over a bush. it is not "slight", it's incredibly stupid lmao

[surreal falcon]

its your character wanting revenge on that bush, clearly

[hot knot]

yeah i literally died because my character did a uturn directly into a horde

if they just kept the old mechanic but boosted the trip chance it would be far better

[modern wasp]

this ^^^

[hot knot]

since i get trying to nerf just running through hordes but not only does the new method only serve to get you killed but it also doesnt let you experience the consequences of running through a damn zombie horde

[rose kraken]

https://youtu.be/MElOC7Krygc?si=jd-Ejf6XKchgxrhw

[fickle elm]

oh hey I just made large bellows last night

[modern wasp]

random thought, the new crafting actions take waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long for mp servers

[sharp kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/its-false-jonathan-frakes-gif-19727543

[toxic lion]

Yes, that's the intention.

[modern wasp]

why would that be the intention?

[toxic lion]

Please let the devs know. 👍

[sharp kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/jonathan-frakes-beyond-belief-not-this-time-gif-10518597971970822359

[toxic lion]

So that people on multiplayer servers can specialize in their respective roles.

[modern wasp]

then adjust experience gained. there's no reason that forging a sword blade should take a minute and a half

[toxic lion]

🤷

I'm just a messenger. 😭

[analog spear]

on mp you can just ff

sp lol

[toxic lion]

What?

[modern wasp]

that's why i'm talking about multiplayer. because you can't fast forward

[toxic lion]

Oh sp

[analog spear]

dunno maybe there will be options but i dont think its that bad , gives you time to go bathroom stuff

[modern wasp]

go afk for a minute and a half in a game where any zombie is lethal?

[analog spear]

i dont think you should be crafting something like that in a dangerous area??

thats kinda on you i would never do that

[modern wasp]

you don't think it's possible that a zombie could break through your wall while you're afk smithing? Also i don't think "just go afk" is a good thing

[analog spear]

but i would wait until it comes on mp and see how it works to be honest , not going to know until its out to the public and we can all try it

[analog spear]

for vanilla playthrough on default population settings no, not when people are constantly running around keeping the areas cleared

people will probably have to think smart about where they plan on building those machines when it comes to mp , like a top floor or bottom something thats easily maintained security wise i think i dunno

[modern wasp]

i don't think "i should secure this thing because it's so boring and tedious that i go afk while using it" is worth it

[analog spear]

yeah i dunno , like i said they might give us options once mp comes out and the community gets its hands on it and plays and gives feedback

[modern wasp]

we are the community and i am giving feedback XD

[analog spear]

when mp is released

[modern wasp]

why not change it before then. my feedback is "as it is now it'll suck for mp, so change it" lol

[analog spear]

dunno , make a suggestion on steam forums

or tis forums

[surreal falcon]

I agree or disagree on whatever was said the last hours I spent killing nids for the God-Emperor

[surreal falcon]

January 2026

[surreal falcon]

some actions are fast forwarded for sure, but yeah I usually don't do any advanced crafting unless I'm in literal castle-level defenses

...but yeah for MP, you watch the bar advance very slowly. Probably thats why something like sleep also is usually disabled on MP (making the game easier due lack of one of the most severe debuffs)

[fair moss]

Sleep is usually disabled because there’s nothing really forcing sleeping to be synced by players

So someone ends up blocking the fast-forward because they don’t need to sleep or can’t sleep, leading to some griefing or 20 minutes an hour watching your char sleep

[silver galleon]

Most servers that I have played on enable it and run sleep with your friends so you don't have to sync sleep times

[fossil skiff]

anyone think 1200hp for brickwall (craftsman) is a little bit too low? log wall is way cheaper and with carpentry lv 10 it has 1000hp

[modern wasp]

any number other than "requires 10+ zombies banging on it at the same time to take damage" is too low

[fossil skiff]

so you mean, brick/stone have this "require more zombies to bang on it so it takes damage" feature?

[modern wasp]

yea, same as current chain fences

[fossil skiff]

ah, I just tested it. It takes damage even just one banging on it. But the hp reduction is significantly lower than log wall

[novel cypress]

are we able to make cheese yet?

[fossil skiff]

not in vanilla I think

that's why I have DFMFoodMod

[novel cypress]

clears throat FUCK

[fossil skiff]

this kind of recipe I will say it won't be implemented so soon.

[novel cypress]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/540708927046811650/1259634126399471758/ktymtoh.gif

but but cheese

[floral pewter]

Cheese is life

if we could make cheese we need an option to have shredded cheese.

[fossil skiff]

yeah that's well I have a mod allows me to make cheese

[little path]

Make food get frozen when lying outside during negative temperatures

Gasoline will run out one day, and we will get no freezer to save our food

[fickle elm]

Oh no, it's been raining for three consecutive days, I hope my crops don't drown.
Oh wait -- my crops are in real life, not Zomboid. They'll be fine!

[marsh zinc]

true..

[floral pewter]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAS7W8FTSIA the nice sounds of powre outages

[analog spear]

that sound sso cool lol

electricity is so scary sounding

[floral pewter]

some of the power shutdown sounds like laser beams

its almost the end of the month and my current world where the water and power is still functioning

[analog spear]

yea it just sounds like pure death to me lol

[floral pewter]

it would be interesting if power stations were functional to bring the power back online.

[wicked steppe]

I mentioned this in the main chat but the power grid realisitcally would die even faster than in zomboid

like it'd be having frequency issues within 2 days

[floral pewter]

its disapointing that automated emergency broadcasts never mentions water shutoff warnings.

[sterile cradle]

I think complete repowering would be unrealistic, unless you did it across a 64 player server and everyone had the same interests in mind. We should be able to reroute power to our own sources though, provided we have extensive knowledge

I know they got to add waterwheels

[wicked steppe]

the power grid as a whole would be falling apart within days once the coal and gas plants shut off from lack of supply, it'd strain everything else, the frequency would get out of whack, and then die

what your talking about is more an expansion of generators to include power lines I guess

[sterile cradle]

I was thinking more individual buildings, but yeah I guess

[wicked steppe]

it's just a big generator at the end of the day no?

[fickle elm]

My head cannon is that there are a few immune people holding out at the power station doing whatever they can to keep the power online until they succumb

[analog spear]

nooo i dont think we should ever be ables to do that , that would require so much human power to maintain lol

[floral pewter]

some buildings should at least have their back up generators running like hospitals after the power goes out

[wicked steppe]

basically just a large pre-installed generator

would make sense though yes some buildings would have those

[floral pewter]

Prison would have a back up generator

[modern wasp]

We need some kind of log floor so us primitives can get out of the rain

[marsh zinc]

you need more than a few people to maintain it, and even if, i believe this conflicts with the vision of the game anyway

[modern wasp]

You know, I think I’d have a lot fewer gripes with welding if blacksmithing could build fences or metal walls. I should be able to smith a crude iron bar fence or something

[sterile cradle]

You said this yesterday

theres probably a mod for it

[novel cypress]

I love these silly little guys

[little path]

It would be cool if engineer could create some sort of a breach charge that could break down doors and walls one quick explosion.

Like a sledgehammer, but quicker and louder

[sterile cradle]

There is no situation where you need to SWAT breach a house in PZ

[little path]

Pvp

Dawg, that would be so cool in pvp

And there's a lot of things you don't need, but have in Project Zomboid

I don't mind that

[little path]

Not just houses

Fences

Like those military ones

[analog spear]

is that new ?1

also i want to pick up

[void bramble]

i think so

i havent seen overlays on them before

but they did mention a system like, having overlays over beds for sheets and comforters

[analog spear]

its so cool!!!

i found another fridge with more and a puppy picture haha

[novel cypress]

I seen them before, i think in b41 but only a couple house they despawn if you pick them up and move them.

I could be wrong though

[rough garden]

Has fishing been fixed for controller or steam deck??

[silver galleon]

Only one way to find out

❤️

[fickle elm]

I did it boys, I made a sledgehammer. It took me 18 in-game days.

now to bust open some garages

[analog spear]

Awesome!

[fickle elm]

Also, the jump between scrap vs steel swords is honestly pretty big

the steel sword does much more damage AND keeps its edge for longer

[fossil skiff]

18 is quite a decent time

You are playing with normal apocalypse settings I suppose?

[fickle elm]

nope, I'm playing with modified survival settings.

2 hour days, more loot, etc.

so this would be the equivalent of 36 days really (and that's not considering the bonus I get with extra loot)

I will do a more legit run in default survival settings at some point

probably next patch

[little path]

2 hours?

https://tenor.com/view/dog-hell-nah-hell-naw-button-gif-658894236480786400

[hearty relic]

i will not stand for 2 hour day slander

its epic

[jolly raven]

Is there a mod or a way to make days length 1 and a half hour ?

Because playing in 2 hours day length sometimes seems too long for day and night cycle

[marsh zinc]

anything higher than the default value is actually epic asf because you actually feel like you have some time to do things

i cant stand the normal day/night cycle

[hearty relic]

what if i did 24 hour days next run to torture myself

[severe fog]

fr, also far less eating and drinking. In fact it's actually easier as you can do more with the same amount of food usage

[sterile cradle]

I personally run the 3h day night cycle because then it doesn't feel like I'm attending to my own needs every 2 minutea

and it doesn't change the speed of anything else so it's like what do you mean me getting some firewood takes 6 hours

[solar ore]

is this like the runescape xp drop mod?

[little path]

Who the hell plays on anything, than 1h day night cycle.

Makes game too easy

Changes stuff too much

You have too much time

Too many opportunities

[fickle elm]

Exactly

[little path]

1h is literally perfect

[fickle elm]

Having time in my day to actually do things is so nice. I also have wakeful so those combined make me extremely versatile.

[sterile cradle]

Me when I'm sleepy after 20 minutes

[little path]

Take wakefull and put yourself on pills. I coped with it for hundreds of hours.

[sterile cradle]

Orrrr, take the 2hdaynightcycle pill

even better 3hdaynightcycle pill

[fickle elm]

caffeine pills are underpowered, at least when I use them

[sharp kindle]

They give -4 fatigue

[marsh zinc]

it does decrease fatigue by like 40 total if you empty the whole package into yourself, but in the context of the game thats only really going to last you maybe 3/4 of a day

they do work they just arent that potent

shouldve just left the vitamins in, kept the current stats, and buff the caffeine pills

[novel cypress]

over all mood with the ragdoll system?

it 100% buggy but it is a very new thing so that doesn't bother me but it just Idk feel odd in this game

but I do like the idea of the zombies being flung over my car hood

but they feel like shopping bags right now so hopefully the next patch they make them feel more heavy

[hot knot]

i wish they did a little more than just flop over

some flailing while they fall or something would be cool

[novel cypress]

yeah I feel like this is going to become more then just ragdolls in the future I would love to see them lose limbs and adapting to keep moving toward you

I did die since one ragdoll and I thought it died until it got up so I hope they add some type of movement they would do

[thorny sparrow]

I like it, neat to see zombies do something other than the same death. And from what I understand they had that guy just working on this so it isn’t like it slowed down other dev

They already seem to be falling over each other and getting in each others way more than before honestly

I swear sometimes they tip over from getting hit by a zombie a hit now lol

[novel cypress]

true I also notice they added a new fall over animation I would like to have a lot more then like 4

[hot knot]

i pushed one zombie into another and it made him fallover

[thorny sparrow]

Yeah see

[hot knot]

i love shit like that tho

[novel cypress]

yeah I feel that to and I feel like my guy triped over one that was also on the floor

[hot knot]

im always throwing people at eachother in blade in sorcery to kill 2 birds with one stone type shit

[novel cypress]

isn't bonework have a good AI that will try to get up and stumble around

[hot knot]

it has active ragdolls, not the best though

[novel cypress]

I would like something like that like the virus is trying to get them back up even when they are shoved around

[hot knot]

active ragdolls would be sick but i honestly think that would require a complete makeover of how the world is rendered/handled because it would have to have points to represent in a 3d space

for the ik and whatnot

[thorny sparrow]

Yeah I feel like this and the grappling system are steps toward a more ‘physicsy’ world which I think is cool. Imagine if we could find an old civil war cannon at the fort and shoot it at hordes that ragdoll hahahaha.

[hot knot]

i just plowed directly into a group of soldiers in week 1 with a truck and they got blown away does that count

[thorny sparrow]

Hahahaha that counte!

Zombie bowling

[hot knot]

yeah... zombies..... they were 100% zombies...

[novel cypress]

I swear they added more speed bumps near the schools that I live near. everytime when I drive down the road going 50 I hit a bump when I try to get a cup off coffee

[hot knot]

just go faster and you wont feel the bump at all

[novel cypress]

yeah the odd thing they scream a lot

[analog spear]

lol

[dapper fable]

[novel cypress]

three buildings that has been changed in b42.8 I recommend checking one if you need a sleeping bag or a wood stove

actually this whole block kinda changed

[toxic lion]

I think it's more than a whole block

[analog spear]

yah its pretty amazing how much its changed, i was trying to look on the pz official map for something to compare to see if fridges has magents then and realized the building i was in isnt on there lol

[novel cypress]

I found a dog tag we must be getting close dogs

[void bramble]

you could try and get the tile files

i think the mapping tool comes bundled with some of them too, if it wasnt added too late in b41s life cycle it should be in there

[sharp kindle]

ISTG if they add dogs and cats but let them die from not being able to get out I'm gonna right a strongly worded, but polite, letter to TIS

this just tells a story

[winter flower]

That looks like the mod that let's you crash your car completely through large windows and fences in one go

But speaking of that, I was going through the subreddit and noticed this post showing the rusty rifle flyer; noting how it showed a motorcycle in one of them. So that got me thinking, has there been any confirmation on motorcycles?

[novel cypress]

yeah I'm using https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3413150945

it just fits so well with it and I just thought it would look lovely with the drunk effect when a car is through a wall

[novel cypress]

maybe people found more 3d car stuff in the files base game without any mods

[winter flower]

Well a glass wall, I learned that servers don't want this mod if it can crash through tall fences and such. You know, because of griefing?

[novel cypress]

yeah but I don't play servers + if they some reason add it to base game they probably make it a turn on or off option

I though will be adding this to my servers when MP is back on

since it only with close friends

[novel cypress]

I liked how they died

also this little guy

[analog spear]

lol

human sculpture

[novel cypress]

I want a line of those bodies going toward my base

worst way to die

[novel cypress]

did they make the clocks work?

[little path]

Yep

It's amazing

[silver galleon]

I am obligated to dismantle clocks because of the ticking

[little path]

You hate ticking?

Bruh

[rose kraken]

they are nice for electrical xp

always dismantle them

[elder cape]

me too. already suffering enough from the ticking when I try to sleep

[marsh zinc]

the masculine urge to disassemble every single electronic device you come across

[sterile cradle]

The masculine urge to not touch electronics and do carpentry instead because electronics are for girls

[elder cape]

sure. spend the rest of your life in darkness since you don't know how generators work, because electronics are for girls

[sterile cradle]

Old-world-technology-clinging cuck activities

Darkness ends with a window

[marsh zinc]

i mean electrical as a skill is likely going to work together with carpentry once they do more with it building-wise and crafting-wise

still, doesnt make sense why i cant just place a lit lantern on the ground and have it function as a light source that way

[little path]

Electrical skill will become absolutely GOATED once we finally get actual industrial stations that were promised.

Electrical skill will definitely be needed to maintain those stations

[marsh zinc]

industrial stations or not, it needs more crafting

it's one of the most neglected skills right now

one of

[surreal sable]

Did the controller support get fully implemented yet or is that still to come?

[little path]

Who the hell even plays PZ on controller these days?

There is literally no reason to do that

[analog spear]

A lot of people do

[hearty relic]

people just prefer it

just like how we prefer to use electrical type writers to play games

[surreal sable]

Me

[surreal sable]

The game is great to play on steam deck

If anything it feels better on controller

[analog spear]

ya its great on steamdeck

[novel cypress]

I like it

it keeps the voice drowned out

so does the clocks die? like months in would the battery die and if so can we rechange the battery.

[novel cypress]

clock update it stops working when the power went out and I love that

[silver galleon]

ADHD sucks

where is this?

[novel cypress]

it near the spiffo in muldraugh

there a house with a buther hook that has two sleeping beds in there kids room

[little path]

We need a sandbox option for more ways of getting the knox infection. Get scratched in some bloody clothing? Cooked.
Some bloody glass gets through your skin? Cooked.
Get hit by a bloody knife? Cooked.

The 28 days later roleplay shall be better than ever

[silver galleon]

Trueeee

[thorny sparrow]

This is my favourite base so far, fortified diner beside a gas station with a rooftop forge. Has a sheep pen and chickens behind the diner, farm, and never requires weeding/landscaping from erosion haha

[thorny sparrow]

near lectromax outside riverside

[solar ore]

how does gas evaporation work. will the amount gas stations have lower over time, or do they evaporate inside of gas cans?

[novel cypress]

evaporate from anything that isn't the game stations or gas can for example a rain barrel

[solar ore]

oh ok. awesome, i wasnt using barrels to hold them anyway

[novel cypress]

I don't know if the gas would evaporate in a bottle though

[toxic lion]

Someone need to experiment this.

We can't just be all assuming...

[silver galleon]

👀

[wicked steppe]

Gas stations are nice to take over but their location can be.. suboptimal, I'm using the echo creek one right now, it's kinda far from everything

[silver galleon]

Yea I have been using above Echo Creek Gas as a temp base, trying to figure out where to go

[rose kraken]

there is a mod for solar panels which makes electrical useful cauz you can craft panels and power banks

[marsh zinc]

yea but solar panels in 1993 werent really commercially available

its pretty silly to have it as a mod but whatever makes electrical more useful for you in the meantime ig

[rose kraken]

most mods don't fall in line with the timeline and lore

you have other ideas to make it useful?

[marsh zinc]

no im just waiting for the studio to do something with it

would be pretty insane if they left it as it is before B42's release

[rose kraken]

so why is it silly if there are no other alternatives to make it useful now ?

[thorny sparrow]

Right! This one actually isn’t bad right outside riverside but I realized when you take over the actual gas station your generator burns fuel keeping all the pumps going, so I did the diner next door. I’m thinking of doing the police station next to the gas in town next.

[thorny sparrow]

^

[novel cypress]

Clocks will also turn back on when you hook up the power. (I have checked if it synced with the world time)

[acoustic pasture]

All of my fucking gas stations have no gas

The one in echo creek and the one in rosewood are EMPTY

[novel cypress]

Does it have a no gas sign or just no fuel?

Can they spawn without a no gas sign?

[jade wasp]

🪿

[acoustic pasture]

No gas sign

[near trench]

2 months in? Very nice setup

Other than lack of using your own parking

[novel cypress]

On all the pumps? Often I find one that say no gas on Just one pump but the others often have gas

[thorny sparrow]

They've all had the engine parts stripped from them haha

I have one car I use, ambulance, but you can't see it because of the disapearing glitch its in the spot behind me

when it's ready

[sacred warren]

since the devs surprised us with ragdoll physics this update I have no doubt that MP will be next update, the devs have raised the bar too high so it has to be MP next time

https://tenor.com/view/copium-gif-766857345458198993

I hope the best for you but I think they still have bows and some other systems to implement hat they will need to bug fix before complicating it with multiplayer.

is there a way to get hay flooring for a custom barn

[native ore]

It's not under the barn tileset?

[brazen vale]

Guys god told me mp is not the next update but the update after

[solar ore]

what? im building my own barn want to put hay down

[prisma karma]

Hope the devs decide to animate the trees and grass too. It seems its only bushes right now that sway in the wind

[hot knot]

unrealistic aswell, our cabin was made by my dad and some friends and a cow rammed into it while we were away, but the only damage was a dent and some cracks in the paint with fur sticking out

[analog spear]

grass does

[prisma karma]

Then we need it on the rest of the foilage. Forests seem so dead with no movement

[hot knot]

the trees rustle when zombroids shuffle past so that might get confusing

[prisma karma]

They could make so you could see the difference. But would be cool in a storm where you dont know if its the wind or zombies

[hot knot]

true ngl

[viscid trellis]

What is happening here?

[pale scroll]

Mods ?

[novel cypress]

What do you mean i swear i see the tress rustle without zombies

• the trees do sway in there a storm

[viscid trellis]

Yes, mods.

[novel cypress]

I had a issues kinda like that before try turn off the game and turn it back on that how I fixed it.

[hot knot]

i always assumed that was just random critters

[novel cypress]

I think it suppose to be because it only rustle when an animal sound effect please but that before b42 and i still see it but just with birds now

it does sway but it is raining

I don't know how but hitting win+G made my guy stuck lol

[viscid trellis]

This is in debug vanilla with no mods.

[novel cypress]

how much wool

because I had the same issue like that but with a claybag the claybag didn't have enough clay to pull out clay

[viscid trellis]

Well, the recipe requires 5 raw wool. I have 5 raw wool.

[novel cypress]

can you merge your wool together?

[viscid trellis]

You cannot merge raw wool, each piece is an individual item.

[novel cypress]

oh then idk because I was think it was like thread that you can merge them together. then I don't drop them reopen the crafting open until it say zero and then repick them up and see if that would fix it

[viscid trellis]

All good. Just trying to build my bed

[novel cypress]

no sleep for you >:)

are you trying to live off the grid?

[viscid trellis]

I am trying to live.

[novel cypress]

I mean if you have to items but it won't make it just debug it in and delete the wool it might just be bad wool

[viscid trellis]

I have just debugged in wool on my test save and it still doesn't work

[novel cypress]

no i mean the item you're crafting just debug that in I think it just hates you lol

[viscid trellis]

Funny, both feathers work (turkey and chicken) but not raw wool

In to the code we go

[viscid trellis]

It ended up just being a small problem with the code. I fixed it

[knotty tangle]

Archery is probably in the next 3 updates

I hope it is not rude to ask but is there a rough estimate when the multiplayer is gonna be released? My boyfriend loves the game and we really want to try the new update together :)

[surreal falcon]

No release date known, we'll know when it suddenly releases

Should be this year, however

As it is estimated to arrive faster than build 41 MP did, so around or before December 2025

[cobalt crown]

thank you very much! so in worse case scenario it will take about another 6 months huh...

[surreal falcon]

No official estimations exist, just gamers hoping

[fair swallow]

🙂

[little path]

Find a safe and CLEAN place to stay for a while

And then

If it goes on

You definitely cooked

[fair swallow]

how much time i have

[little path]

Do you have a resilient trait?

[fair swallow]

uhh

no

[little path]

Not long

2 days at most

You will know for sure by that point

But do not eliminate yourself rn

There is still a chance that it is not it

If it came from a scratch, it would've started earlier

[fair swallow]

ok

[carmine mason]

anyone esle got a small update of 1.5 mb?

[little path]

Could be from your mods being updated

[carmine mason]

i don't have mods

and wasn't from mods but from the game itself

[analog spear]

maybe steam doing stuff?

[carmine mason]

maybe

[toxic lion]

Steam Distribution update. Not Project Zomboid stuffs.

[high mauve]

[little path]

[fair swallow]

[prisma venture]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2392676812&searchtext=antibodies i use this

it haves you balance your hygeine and health to counter the infection, not easy. And works with Susceptible

[junior hinge]

My guess is that it’s easier to just copy and paste the tile than it is to sift through the tilepicker when map making

[fair swallow]

ok

now im like slowly dying

[analog spear]

youre knoxd up lol

[fair swallow]

idk

if my hp just go slowly down

that means im infected?

[analog spear]

yah , if you die def knox , im going to assume you are just from the moodles on the right

[surreal falcon]

extreme stress, sickness. You be going to have a bad time

[fair swallow]

im just gonna kill myself

[surreal falcon]

I'm definitely thinking it be Knox Virus, so that might save time

[analog spear]

yah lol , my char last night go tbit after 18 days

[fair swallow]

survived 20 days

[analog spear]

rest in snacky

[fair swallow]

[fair swallow]

thx

[fair swallow]

[analog spear]

LOL

noo lol

[fair swallow]

im died

XD

but im instantly get new car

[prisma venture]

Is getting Knoxed up just getting bitten?

[analog spear]

it is now lol

[surreal falcon]

bitten (100%), lacerated (25%) and scratched (7,5%) on default settings, if thats what you askin

[floral pewter]

getting bitten after surviving months in game losing your best record.

[silver galleon]

Just 7, not 7.5 ❤️

[surreal falcon]

I stand corrected

[fair moss]

I've also thought of that term to getting infected

[analog spear]

lol

[thorny sparrow]

Huh, accross two different runs now I can't seem to clean the last blood stains off the military backpack it says its clean

[thin python]

Is it just me or is it clean?

Unless that thing on the left edge of the closing flap is blood, then yeah, must be a bug or something

[rose kraken]

so, after many hours of grinding Glassmaking to 10, I can fairly say that skill is shite

worse actually than electrical

so Spiffo please direct your attention to this skill and share some love with it cauz it's bad.....very bad....

[thorny sparrow]

Yeah theres a red blotch on both sides that isn't there when you loot it

[fickle elm]

What does glassmaking even get you? iirc you can't even replace windows with it

[thin python]

This is a glass 💀
https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Wine_Glass

[thorny sparrow]

Yeah I mean other than vessels for liquids and windows its hard to imagine what else glassmaking could even have. Im sure as shit not making car windows out of real glass haha.

I can see why it isn't, but I feel like this and some other current/future crafts could probabaly fit under like a 'decorative crafting' skill

[acoustic pasture]

Where did you even find that large bag

I've never seen one of those EVER in b42.... Only the camo military backpacks..

[gritty gale]

usually off military zombies I think I found one at guns unlimited too

[acoustic pasture]

Never in my life have i found the large bag on military zombies.. Only survivor zombies

[gritty gale]

your talking about b42 right?

they changed the large backpack to be called military backpack and it has some capacity now

same*

[fickle elm]

why not just make a cup from pottery?

I made like 10 of them to level it up for crucible

[thorny sparrow]

Yeah military zombies but it seems much rarer than the desert and forest camo print ones. I ususally go to the brandenburg checkpoint as soon as I get a car because I play zero to hero and need the space of the backpack and ALICE belts. I honk and pull them out then spread them in the field and run over the ones with backpacks who often have ALICE belts. I try to get them matching plain green, and there isn't always a green backpack but when there is the zombie is way at the back and it takes a while to get him out.

B42 no mods at all

[gritty gale]

Is there an urban camo backpack?

[fair swallow]

am i in heaven?

\

[gritty gale]

Bros playing Silent Zomboid

[pale scroll]

lol

[fair swallow]

does anyone know why this happens?

[pale scroll]

That zed with the car ownership?

could you kill this one and see if it drops a car key

[fair swallow]

I mean a crowd of zombies near a certain house

[analog spear]

lol bruh

[acoustic pasture]

That checkpoint is..... Painful..

Glup...

[pale scroll]

they are smoking

[thin python]

Bad luck I guess

[analog spear]

i find them a lot more in 42 than 41

[acoustic pasture]

Idk about bad luck, i've found plenty of military backpacks. Just not the green one 💔

[thin python]

Most often military zeds wear duffel bags tho

[acoustic pasture]

Which is what i'm after.

[thin python]

That variant in particular is exclusive to desert camo military zombies

Maybe spawns in other places, but idk

[acoustic pasture]

For me they've always had desert camo mil bags...

[thin python]

That's the easiest source of it anyway

[acoustic pasture]

In b41 i always saw them with the green backpacks. But in b42 they have the desert one.

Least from what i've seen

[thin python]

... could be a B42 thing then

I'm really mixing up B42 stuff with B41 and vice versa

[thin python]

Nope

[thin python]

TV or radio inside could be on, or it's just a spawn map thing where this house's area was marked as "spawn zombies here"

[analog spear]

the chunky one thats horizontally gifted?

[acoustic pasture]

g e e n

👽

[analog spear]

uah!

i found that one in a house i spawned near once lol in muldrag

[acoustic pasture]

doesn't muldragh have military homes

[analog spear]

was awesome and another time i found on some group of zombies that were dinkin aroumnd on some ranch

[analog spear]

no idea , i just loot brainlessly lol

[fair swallow]

guys

why my car just stuck

he dont wanna ride

[analog spear]

can you show pic

[fair swallow]

I think it's because of the ragdoll

there a zombie under wheel

[thorny sparrow]

Weird bug/naming hilarity. If you put sliced ham on a burger bun, it becomes 'Ham Burger'. If you put more than one slice of ham, it becomes 'Meat Burger'. haha

[analog spear]

lmao

[surreal falcon]

a ham burglar would be welcome too, some criminals have a taste in finer meats

[thorny sparrow]

they should add a zombie in a burglar costume chance to spawn in spiffos haha

[analog spear]

lol

[floral pewter]

We need more criminal occupations.

[surreal falcon]

Tax Evader seems pointless with his/her special skills becoming useless in the apocalypse

and serial killer is not really an occupation, but hey melee + desensitized can't go wrong

[floral pewter]

Thug

Car thief should be an occupation that should of been the ability to steal cars by hot wiring not the burglar

[hot knot]

could be a trait

[sharp kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-0-legend-remix-heat-action-majima-essence-of-the-thug-gif-8505103301940867199

Yeah sounds fun

[fair swallow]

can i hack this lockers

[analog spear]

is this why your screen was so white? the nv

[fair swallow]

nope

[fair swallow]

fog

[oblique harbor]

backspacks seem to be having trouble rn

my backpack currently is saying its 100% condition but it has visible holes and dirt

legit no option to repair either

[solar ore]

is plumbing still broken?

[acoustic pasture]

I've always had the dirt issue.

But holes? Only time i've seen a hole in a backpack is whenever a zomboid has a small bag.

And that's abt it

[oblique harbor]

I’ve been having them over a few bags like hiking bag and military bag

Not a large hiking bag tho

Think it’s just a regular one

[acoustic pasture]

Oh sick.

[oblique harbor]

im not playing with any mods that change clothing repair or patch textures either, all vanilla

[whole parcel]

where is that base?

nvm

[thorny sparrow]

They probabaly like half implemented a system for bag decay or something, now that there are multiple bag crafting options. Makes sense cause no other item in the game last forever so why should bags. In a long term game as dropped bags get looted you’d have to craft as they fall apart.

[oblique harbor]

wouldnt surprise me, that sounds like it could be it

if they added patches and repair to backpacks it would make sense

[toxic lion]

I believed it's fixed since 42.8.0

I still don't understand why people keep playing 42.7.0

[high mauve]

Stupidity I guess...

[rose kraken]

lmao, the advanced kiln uses up almost 1 matchbox after firing 5 bar molds

good luck with that ;))

[rose kraken]

glass panes and jars ar the only valuable items

rest are mostly useless

[rose kraken]

any useful item would be nice to craft like different glass storing liquids, car parts like windshields, light bulbs (+electrical), decorative stuff for walls, like maybe glass walls for greenhouses and roofs, there are many ideas out there

[muted gull]

Please tell me when the multiplayer will be released in beta?

[marsh zinc]

no one knows

check again in a few months

[rose kraken]

tax evasion is not an occupation, it's a felony and it's prosecuted by law ;))

in all countries 😉

you can't get hired anywhere as a tax evader lmao

maybe as an embezzler or some type of broker but that skill would be useless in an apocalypse

[keen gazelle]

Yeah it'd be more of a trait unless you go with hit man

It'd have to give desensitized + some weapon bonus (melee for serial killer, ranged for hit man?) + maybe some sort of planning related skill? (Hiding the body, getting away with it, all that sort of planning)

[surreal falcon]

dont think a burglar is an occupation either, but here we are!

[rocky plover]

You can, there's an entire industry that hires people to break in into buildings to test their security 😄

[surreal falcon]

is the official job title "burglar" or some sort of "security inspector" whatever tho 😄

now that I think, it has also been like over 2 weeks since last update

42.9 when?

[sharp kindle]

Shit I can get paid I was just doing it for the lolz

[acoustic pasture]

Hope they make it a setting if something like that is being added.

[surreal falcon]

pls no breaking bags jesus christ

[acoustic pasture]

I mean ig it can kinda be labeled as an occupation idk.

Can be labeled as a job to some extent i suppose.

[surreal falcon]

At least they renamed Unemployed as Custom Occupation. Unemployed literally has no occupation, yet it was an occupation

[sacred warren]

did anyone notice the typo

[acoustic pasture]

😭

b41 update guys!!

[plush turtle]

Game so old its regressing

[solar ore]

Im on 42.8.1 what am I doing wrong

[surreal falcon]

You need to start a new save, if your broken save was started before 42.8.0

Many, if not all fixes require a new save to start working, from what I've noticed

[solar ore]

Not true

Made the save for 42.8

Beard says that they recommend you make a new save for every update.

[little path]

When did you took this screenshot?

[toxic lion]

now

typo should still be there

[little path]

Fixed

No?

[toxic lion]

weird then....

[surreal falcon]

Well all the shit that was bugged for me before, didn't work after patching, had to start a new save for em to work

[toxic lion]

oh wow, it is edited

[little path]

Right in time

[toxic lion]

Fair enough

[toxic lion]

Try reporting it as a bug. Might be some holdover from something that caused the issue to resurface for you.

Otherwise I have no idea.

[sacred warren]

They fixed the typo 0.01 seconds after I posted that

[little path]

Which means...

They are always watching
