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

@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

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

I’ve never seen it in game.

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

#

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
#

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
#

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
gritty gale
#

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

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

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

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 scored like 6 large bags it was crazy

oblique harbor
#

im playing on vanilla too so it cant be something modded

thin python
#

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
#

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

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

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

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🤣

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

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

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

#

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
fickle elm
#

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.

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
cunning wagon
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

#

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
#

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
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

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
#

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
#

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
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
#

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
#

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
#

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
#

sometimes they feel paper thin

civic wigeon
#

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

limber prawn
#

it just doesn't spawn

#

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

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

solar ore
#

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

solar ore
#

what is this sewing pattern i found on the wiki?

marsh zinc
#

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
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

acoustic pasture
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
acoustic pasture
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
uncut inlet
acoustic pasture
uncut inlet
#

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

acoustic pasture
toxic lion
acoustic pasture
#

I'm confused..

uncut inlet
surreal falcon
uncut inlet
#

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

acoustic pasture
#

?

toxic lion
# uncut inlet it's not a slight direction change

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
surreal falcon
#

but a better compromise than making zeds immovable objects

uncut inlet
toxic lion
#

I haven't encountered that.

acoustic pasture
#

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

uncut inlet
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
uncut inlet
#

it was a gamble, though

acoustic pasture
toxic lion
#

hmms

acoustic pasture
#

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

surreal falcon
uncut inlet
#

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

surreal falcon
# toxic lion I'm not sure.

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

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
#

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
hot knot
#

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

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

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
#

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
surreal falcon
#

...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 worryWDYM

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?

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

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

analog spear
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 know they got to add waterwheels

wicked steppe
#

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
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

Only one way to find out

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
#

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

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
#

i cant stand the normal day/night cycle

hearty relic
#

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

severe fog
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

#

1h is literally perfect

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

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

#

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
