42.9.0 UNSTABLE Released

[turbid bison]

searching library for books is one place to look for good items

book stores is another place for some good books.

[nocturne nexus]

im not sure about that at all , you could try asking in #pz_b42_chat cause i have never thought about that lol

[ebon nebula]

mainly curious because i have a large building i am planning on renovating that has a lot of glass

and its not like the most unpopulated place ever but i dont wanna keep boarding up windows over and over again if the stuff i do inside attracts em

worse case i need to build an expensive perimeter

[nocturne nexus]

i always wondered if zombies can see flash lights?

or lights through windows ?

[ebon nebula]

Noooo idea

i got music mods and stuff so im worried about those too

i dont wanna be playing piano and my house gets jumped by a small horde

[thorn ember]

community college in ekron is my go to these days, its pretty dense in zeds but every book case is filled with skill books

[nocturne nexus]

lmao that would be something else

[thorn ember]

i havent checked any of the other community centers to see if they have similar loot but my understanding is only LVs univ and ekrons libraries have that loot table

[ebon nebula]

hm interesting... i lowkey forgot where ekron is tho lol

[thorn ember]

its middle west, so west of echo creek, south of braden and north of irvington

[ebon nebula]

Ok. i can find an echo creek map and judge from there

[nocturne nexus]

have you been to dans mad ned

uhh mad dans den lmao

[ebon nebula]

is it in riverside?

[nocturne nexus]

its down south of it yah

if you seee it , ekron is down that road

[ebon nebula]

i might have...

[nocturne nexus]

lol possibly maybe!

[ebon nebula]

i don't really know the buildings by the names but more so the general loot lol

[nocturne nexus]

lol thats fair, theres so many buildings now

[nocturne nexus]

dang lol love the new heatmap , thats brandenburger checkpoint

[dawn grotto]

oh shit, mod idea

[dawn grotto]

last time it was discussed, developer answer was no. they can only see you, and light doesn't matter

[nocturne nexus]

darn!

[ashen zephyr]

been seeing weird texture patterns like this all over the map recently, is this intended? looks kinda glitchy and bad to me, random patches of sand in the middle of forests too with trees growing out of them!

[turbid bison]

noice

[nocturne nexus]

probably the new wip wilderness generdation

wth generation lol

[ashen zephyr]

can you elaborte a little about this new gen or at least send a link please, im interested!

[nocturne nexus]

https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2023/12/zleigh-ride/

[crude scarab]

can't wait to get it as an actual scenario so I can do a full wilderness run

hopefully we will also be able to disable getting trash from forage (like power cords and stuff) so it can be a fully wilderness run like caveman style

[nocturne nexus]

yah i think it would be fun to try living out in the wilderness

[crude scarab]

definitely, see how far you can go into building a shelter and stuff
specially once they add in hostile animals ooooh yeah it will be awesome

i already died to a bull so it will be awesome to fight wolves and bears and snakes and idk what else

[turbid bison]

snakes in PZ would be a nice addition and having some venomous ones that you would need to find some antivenom

[waxen shuttle]

I want lizards

Give me lizards

[turbid bison]

Salamanders

[nocturne nexus]

i want cock roaches!!

is that one word lol

[waxen shuttle]

One lol

[crude scarab]

oooh yess more insects would be nice to have, just seeing some random spiders and more cockroaches and centipedes and all walking around

I haven't seen any cockroach infestations yet that was showcased on the previous teases, not even sure if they are actualy in

[nocturne nexus]

yah me neither , mybae they were too laggy or somethin , when i found a cockroach i put it on the ground to see if it would move when 42 first came out lol

[crude scarab]

prob yeah, they were really nice though, hope we get to see more insects actions

can't wait to get bit by a spider and die

[nocturne nexus]

lol

[crude scarab]

or top step on an ant hill and injury my feet and die cause I can't run from the zombies

oh yeah insect dream

[nocturne nexus]

ugh lol fire ants, i hate those damn things theyre EVERYWHERE here

[crude scarab]

here too, they hurt a lot

[nocturne nexus]

yah i have scars on my feet from the little farts

[crude scarab]

there's one freaking ant hill that like broke my garage's floor and no matter what I do to kill or wash then off they keep getting back

like they literally just made a hole in the concrete and keep bringing dirt from outside

[nocturne nexus]

LOL what the hell thats insane

add that to pz haha

[ebon nebula]

can i put animals in this?

[nocturne nexus]

ya

[ebon nebula]

sweet. i found a great farm that has 2 animal trailers and 1 item trailer

as well as 2 carpentry books

[nocturne nexus]

now collect all the animals!!

[ebon nebula]

The plan is to fish on the riverside with pet cows and chickens

i dont want to do pigs and turkeys again they are lame

[nocturne nexus]

lol why

[ebon nebula]

i want eggs in the morning

[ebon nebula]

overpopulation and i think cows are cuter

[nocturne nexus]

true

and chickens are cute cause they peck

[ebon nebula]

i want them eggs

the plan is to imitate the normal world and be as productive as possible

i got farming mods so i can get grapes and stuff too so i could practice guitar, pet my cows, fish for dinner, and eat a bowl of grapes while reading a book

live of luxury

[prime ember]

Turkeys lame!? 😭

[ebon nebula]

Yes... last time i played build 42 i found a bunch of sick dead turkeys and i did a big mission to rehabilitate them not realizing they would die the moment they left the trailer

[prime ember]

😢

[ebon nebula]

i had a weeks worth of dinner afterwards at least....

[nocturne nexus]

lmao '

[turbid bison]

wild turkey in a trailer to act like they are domestic

people putting wild bunnies in a trailer.

[summer coral]

the amount of rabbits I find in animal trailers be kinda funny

[unkempt coral]

Is that all that was there?

[nocturne nexus]

there was more in the back but usually trhat grassy part is flooded

[unkempt coral]

Yeah totally

[lone sorrel]

is 42.9 a good time to start a playthrough again?

or should i wait for 42.10

Last time i played mustve been like 42.4

[rugged dirge]

Wait till 42.10 to fix all the jank with .9, then wait till .11 to fix all the jank with .10, then wait-

[wind vortex]

wait for it

although it could take longer than last time

[livid solar]

I doubt it given how bad some of the bugs are rn but who knows

[lone sorrel]

yeah this is what i'm afraid of loll

[lavish ingot]

Anytime is a good time to start a save

[lone sorrel]

no it really is not

im not a fan of playing a new save only for it to have unexpected bugs and issues when a new patch arrives (presumably less than a month from now)

[covert oyster]

What is that

[livid solar]

amp

[nocturne nexus]

You plug guitars into it to make noise!

[sonic crow]

is Echo Creek March Ridge now?
I've never seen this much zombies even in the main district of West Point

[rare salmon]

Heatmap is messed up

It'll probably get fixed next patch

But right now louisville has invaded kentucky.

https://tenor.com/view/chicken-swim-chicken-chicken-in-pool-chicken-swimming-chicken-floatie-gif-27321620

[cerulean glacier]

why'd they change the heatmaps? they were fine how they were

[covert oyster]

I don't remember this being in the game before

[nocturne nexus]

I cant remember if it was either haha

[lone sorrel]

people always say that, but i get the feeling that a lot of what's being added is to allow for more customisation in the longterm

the second heatmap layer that's been added will allow others to edit zombie spawns further, which i think is only a good thing

it's just a bit messed up rn

a common situation for new additions when it comes to B42

[livid solar]

https://tenor.com/view/hecker-hecker-beluga-hacker-cat-hacker-gato-hacker-gif-25199253

[novel solstice]

multiplayer ?

[cerulean glacier]

oh right, if it's a customization thing then that's good, I thought they just fucked up the heapmap for no reason

[cerulean glacier]

why do people ask this in the newest patch thread like they would silently announce the most anticipated aspect of B42

[lone sorrel]

no.

[lone sorrel]

no no theyre technically making it more complex than it already is, but that also enables others to do more with it in the future, basically

it has a purpose, atleast more of a objective purpose than the ragdolls, i suppose

[sonic crow]

never

[ebon nebula]

can you remove these little sticks that come off of logs when they are sawed?

[vivid jungle]

it's called a trash can

[ebon nebula]

you cant pick them up

[sick swan]

I believe you use a broom, if im not mistaken

think of it as any other trash that gets place down after you do an activity :3

[merry vine]

Why do washing machines look like a 3D model

[worn magnet]

[tropic sand]

are strength 3 characters supposed to kill zombies in 2 hits? I have the zombies toughness set at tough

[prime ember]

Did you stomp?

[tropic sand]

yeah, but it feels weird to be able to kill them so easily

especailly with them being set as tough in sandbox

do you know of any mods that make them tougher?

[prime ember]

Yea I think stomping is broken op at the moment, not sure it is supposed to be that way

Not really that I can think of

For mods

[tropic sand]

k thx anyway :}

[prime ember]

Was thinking about it and Not sure how helpful it would be but I saw zombie armour value modifier in the sandbox settings. You could try messing with it, not sure how effective it would be

[tropic sand]

that sounds like it would work. thanks!

[prime ember]

😁

[tropic sand]

I tried it an also a few other things, none of what I've tried seems to change how overpowered stomping is, only how tough they are against weapons. But what I did find it this mod:

It doesn't make them tougher but it definitely adds a downside to stomping

so if you want smthn like this here you go lol

[prime ember]

Oh interesting 🧐

[potent hedge]

This should be vanilla ngl

[lone sorrel]

I seriously hope they will revert the stomping to how it was before

Making it so easy to kill zombs is stupid

[ripe geyser]

well stomping is only easy when it's a few zombies

if it's a horde obviously you're not gonna beat it by stomping them

[lone sorrel]

duh, but my point is that currently its really easy to 1shot zombies by stomping them

before the update, even with good strenght it took 2-4 stomps to kill one

[tropic sand]

Ttue

[bronze pilot]

I don't think it should be vanilla unless they want more unrealistic gameplay mechanics for the sake of balancing. Add it to the list of sandbox settings to turn off.

Pushing a zombie from under their armpits pretty much guarantees you can't be bitten, scratched maybe, but definitely not a bite.

[livid solar]

I feel like it would make sense to get bit if you were bare grippers out stomping zombies

But yeah I kinda agree for the most part

Or if you had a hole in your shoe maybe scratched, but idk

I play with sprinters so pushing and getting bit sounds frustrating

[west sinew]

Any chance of thursdoid this week? The last one was half a year ago. I'd like to hear what's next / what's left with B42 and in general how're the devs doin

[strange nimbus]

[frigid kraken]

down? vsauce is peak zomboid chat

[unkempt coral]

They said no Thursdoids during unstable but I feel like one 6 months in would be neat and help people understand how it’s going, what’s left to add etc. But it’s wishful thinking I think!

[potent hedge]

Yeah, we don't exactly know what's left to do with the unstable, whether it's nearing completion, or anything at all. It's all a big unknown at this moment.
Doesn't change the fact the updates are coming steadily, so the development is progressing well.

[west sinew]

I mean just hearing some news alone would be awesome.

[lime junco]

Multiplayer on 42 is all that we need.

[abstract sparrow]

No chance. Will definitely return when Build 42 hits the "Stable" branch.

Which is, like, a couple of months out from now.

[tropic sand]

Sadly they have no been very transparent during the unstable

[unkempt coral]

Where update

[sour quartz]

Please improve fps when booting and main menu

[rare girder]

Agreed. There is still a large part of the crafting update that they are still working on that I've been hoping to see in the updates and still haven't: the machine system that is supposed to allow crafts and other operations progress on their own without the player being there. I've been super excited for this system and have been wondering when we are gonna see it. A dev blog would be awesome

[merry vine]

Do something more fun while we wait, guess what 42.10 will be?

[prime ember]

It is advanced frog physics, clearly

The time has come

[sour quartz]

🔥

[karmic temple]

MP TOMORROW U HEARD IT HERE FOLKS

[rugged dirge]

Nuh uh I said it first (like every other day for 3 months)

[karmic temple]

We have to be correct eventually…

[rugged dirge]

One day we’ll be called prophets and all will come to us for our wisdom and foresight

[cerulean glacier]

Nope, no machinery, machinery comes before stable

[ripe geyser]

bruh i wish that was true, i thought it would be here by summer 😭

[wind vortex]

unrealistic hopes again

[cobalt gulch]

probably Christmas

[sour rampart]

It’s Been 6 months since B42 unstable. I think if it was due soon, we’d know or have an incling (?)

[livid solar]

It took 2 years for b41

expect the same likely for b42, if we are extremely lucky likely only a year

[cobalt gulch]

doesnt depend on luck but how the devs handle it, like feature creep n such

[livid solar]

Yeah

[vivid jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/update-game-game-update-gif-13330659533985679719

[potent hedge]

"It'll be over before Christmas..."
"But which Christmas?"

Remembering that B42 went unstable right before Christmas does bring back good memories from that time 🥲

Best Christmas gift back then

[wind vortex]

older and other times back then, smaller team fewer ppl working on the game

can't be the same with 42 just look at all the updates in the past months, we waited months for new builds for 41 unstable

there's no feature creep, they have a list of stuff that needs to be in stable and they are going through that list, some of it was teased, some is new

[vivid jungle]

phys objects are coming...

throwable bricks... muhehehehe

[wind vortex]

all of what was talked in blogs and reddit posts from devs will eventually make it in sooner or later depending on the level of complexity

[cerulean glacier]

internals getting more and more frequent

update by end of this week

[abstract sparrow]

Nah.... it shouldn't be that fast. 42.9.0 wasn't even out 2 weeks ago.

And usually, there's a period of 3 to 4 weeks in between these update patches.

[cerulean glacier]

3-4 weeks has been the longest we have gone without an update

which was .7 - .8

previous to the last couple, we were on 3 a month, so it's either you're right and they've slowed down as they reach the last few features, or we get a new update this week or the next

[tall pasture]

One day I hope to have the passion y'all have for update divination for anything in my life

[cerulean glacier]

this is what happens when devs go from monthly, detailed progress updates to cryptic occasional messages on the discord server and only form of news being patchnotes

That looks like hot chocolate.

Not coffee. Ewww.

[prime ember]

definitely coffee - but I use a milk alternative so colour is a bit off

Also only light sources being from zomboid, my keyboard and a bit of light through the blinds bound to make things funky 😅

[patent marsh]

Unironically... it's been 15 days since 42.9.0 as of today. 😂

[lone sorrel]

You like the taste of coffee but somehow hate hot chocolate? Smh

[abstract sparrow]

I see. Didn't think about the fact you're playing inside a dimly lit room.

[abstract sparrow]

I only like dark chocolate. Around 70% to 80% cocoa.

I disliked milk chocolate, because it tastes so sweet you can barf.

Hot chocolate is never dark enough to drink.

Need something bitter to mask that excessive sweetness away. So I prefer mochaccino.

[prime ember]

Fair

[lone sorrel]

this sounds like a US problem because here it's not that sweet
but hot dark chocolate would go hard af

question is, if you would drink it raw, or add more stuff onto it

like whipped cream

[prime ember]

[frigid kraken]

how u see these

[abstract sparrow]

It's a country thing. 😦 Regional preferences here in the USA truly sucks, as they all cared about are excessively sweet, salty, and sour tasting flavors.

Fall off 3 stories from a window. There is a bug in the screenshot where if you sprint next to this window, your character automatically jumps out the window.

[south quiver]

Split aren't really useful to fix that

But try to slap one on

[worn magnet]

isnt there a neck gaiter? maybe that would help

[thorn ember]

i dont think you can, like with torso fractures

can only splint limbs

[south quiver]

I only broke legs and arms never really broke anything else

[blissful echo]

I once broke a skull from a 1 story fall, stepped on broken glass, wondered into a bathroom and got cornered

[livid solar]

peak

[prime ember]

[abstract sparrow]

Neck gaiters, if any, are for broken necks.

I think that is another separate bone fracture injury you can get in Build 42

I think... Not sure.

https://tenor.com/view/funny-face-weird-lips-kiss-gif-16681962

[warm basin]

had to turn loot spawns up on everything because i wasn’t finding SHIT 😭

i mean i don’t mind a higher zed population, it’s just that im finding mass amounts of infected in areas that there really shouldn’t be any—ie in a field far into the open country. like i can’t go anywhere without an egregious amount of zombies spawning. always have to tone it down in settings and even then i get big groups and even hoards in the most awkward locations

[nova olive]

Who's to say where zeds should be? Maybe some farmer left a tractor running and it attracted all nearby zeds. Maybe a horde chased an animal into the woods

[spice quartz]

Keep in mind theres less than a hundred houses in most towns apart from LV but they countain thousands of zs

Stuff like that which doesn't make sense is why I think the distribution needs work

I think the hordes that are placed during worldgen are a good idea but it should also make sense

For example, its okay to have a huge number of zs at a military checkpoint or mall, but its not okay to also have the surrounding area be packed

Because those people had to come from somewhere

Imho I think its really just suburban areas which could use a reduction

And by that I mean residential housing zones

[hot basin]

is there pheraps a traffic jam near the spot you're referring at?

[nova olive]

That's fair. Volume does seem out of whack. But distribution? There are no real rules that need to be followed there, as every situation could be explained in some way

[spice quartz]

Every situation?

[nova olive]

Make one up and lets see if we can't reason it

[spice quartz]

Why are there hundreds of zs at the 4th of July celebration in Echo Creek

[nova olive]

Thats a question of volume

Even still. People travel for these types events no?

[spice quartz]

It's distribution too, because it doesn't make any sense why there are zs there to begin with

[nova olive]

By distribution i mean purely location. Numbers definitely need looking at

[spice quartz]

So they decided to stay for a single 4th of July celebration for multiple days 🤣

That just doesnt add up with the lore of the game, the infection starts around the 6th and the game starts on the 9th

Sure, the celebration stuff could still be kept up, but it doesnt fit into the lore

And stuff like the abandoned sanitarium having zs and the abandoned boarding school

[nova olive]

Abandoned locations could certainly have squatters and the like. But yes, assuming that there ought not to be very many in these places is reasonable. And in the end, what fun is an abandoned mental hospital without a few undead strolling about

[spice quartz]

It's more than a few but okay

Abandoned places are still abandoned

[nova olive]

Again, volume vs distribution. Not arguing issues with volume/quantity

[spice quartz]

Squatters would have better luck going elsewhere

At the end of the day it doesn't make sense

Even though its a zombie game, theres much more to the game than just zombies

They don't have to be absolutely everywhere

[spice quartz]

And b42 is an example of that

[nova olive]

100% agree with that sentiment. Often the absence of a threat is necessary to maintain it's interest

never even though we have 90-120 bug fixes per patch

They do care. Otherwise, the patch notes wouldn't mention things related to multiplayer stuffs.

There are more issues than we are seeing, issues where they have the knowledge, but we don't, since no access to source codes.

I haven't been keeping a close eye on the animation team. I'm in the middle of something atm, but if you shoot me a DM I'll get back to you later this evening

[blissful echo]

I did see something on reddit, about additions on functional tornados. Even showed a model of a cow being affected by windspeeds. Not sure if it was real, the cow horns looked different from 42 cows.

[red summit]

I'm pretty sure that was just a joke lol

[patent marsh]

🙏

Bless.

[novel solstice]

frustration is better than nothing at all

at least a procent till ready

[crystal field]

Hard disagree from me. When 42 unstable went public people were pissed to an unreasonable extent. Alot started yelling about the end of Zomboid or whatever

[novel solstice]

yes, i belive that the reason was that a multiplayer was missing

[wind vortex]

no, it was the art

they said MP will be later, ppl complained about the art being made with AI

so they took the screens down and reverted

unrealistic hopes for MP atm

crafting stations are missing animations and SFX and ppl want MP.....

[novel solstice]

yes

[prime ember]

What is left to make 100% wilderness viable? I know the previous bottlenecks were clay (fixed I believe?), sacks, and nails - probably still pain points? is there anything else?

[leaden parrot]

tfw your guns stagger zombies but don't even damage them

[rugged dirge]

Unless wilderness iron was added and I didn’t notice, it’s still nails

[trail fiber]

Is also missin vinegar brewing, meat preservation, etc...

[gleaming gust]

I see we have more official "MP when?" above, no more "January 2026" if we can just link that

even better, make it "!mpwhen" command

[abstract sparrow]

If you can create bows and arrows in build 42 unstable, multiplayer won't be much further out from there on.

[wind vortex]

sacks and nails

and a ranged weapon to hunt for leather

nails for the pottery wheel and a sack of sand

for crucibles

leather for bellows, etc

[trail fiber]

There is a recipe for sacks no?

[wind vortex]

from burlaps

after all the negativity today

let's all watch this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge1qyO0W8PE

[hot basin]

... did he get an internal build somehow?

[wind vortex]

yes

this is the modus operandi from TIS, they tease us with preview builds and shortly after the real deal drops

so patch next week

and drunkonlife is one of the oldest streamers for PZ, started way back in 2012-2013

[prime ember]

Yes, requires burlap as The Darkness pointed out - from what I can tell the only way to get burlap is to forage, loot or grow it

[hot basin]

did he said what is the main stuff in this patch?

[trail fiber]

But for the butlap is not a craft from the loom?

[wind vortex]

I haven't started watching, you can check that out yourself, I have drunk on favorites and subscribed to his channel so his content shows up first for me in youtube

[trail fiber]

Also the nails i remember there is a schematic to read

[wind vortex]

and I opened youtube, shouted hooooray and I'm brewing a cofee atm

[wind vortex]

to get to nails you require different workstantions that require nails to build

[hot basin]

oh ...they increased loot in standard apocalypse to 0.6

[wind vortex]

keep in mind those are preliminary patch notes, by the time they push out the patch that can change depending on the feedback from drunk and the ppl watching that

[hot basin]

WTF the minimap...

ADDED names to streets in the minimap

[wind vortex]

huge

[trail fiber]

Is not only the forge and metal

[hot basin]

shown at roughly 7-8 minutes in the stream

[wind vortex]

huge stuff we must wait for the final patch notes that come with the update

[wind vortex]

as I said, huge and very nice

thank you Spiffo for that 🙂

[hot basin]

lots of animation/fire polish apparently

Nice 3D placement polish too

[wind vortex]

bye bye current save, it's been a blast

[hot basin]

he's been able to load his old save

[wind vortex]

yes but drunk is not running so many mods, I have 140+

[hot basin]

ah well...RIP

[wind vortex]

that save is cooked

[hot basin]

Uhhhh

[wind vortex]

daily report journal, light mod

[hot basin]

ah, thought it was vanilla dang it

[wind vortex]

yes, it should be a vanilla feature I agree :)))))

just look at that nice minimap, sweet graphical rework

[hot basin]

that's the kind of tracking I don't mind, contrary to those stat bar mods which kill immersion completely

[hot basin]

YEP

[trail fiber]

In The .8 u was having the problem once positioned items, if i was taking one all the items near it was change the position

[wind vortex]

so the devs have a huge list of things they want in 42 and they really are bent towards getting it all in

[trail fiber]

Is the guy playing without mods right?

[wind vortex]

he's running like 2-3 mods, light mods

and one of them we stated should be a vanilla feature

[hot basin]

Well, my first impression is that 42.10 is in essence a polish patch. No huge new shiny things, but as much appreciated. Making what we have better, rather than adding yet another layer is VERY important!

All this minimap work makes me wonder if the really big thing would be to release up to date mapping tools for modders...

[prime ember]

I would love if we had the official tools

[vivid jungle]

What's new

[hot basin]

Brochure names don't match the new street names it seems

oopsie...

actual...FIRE

[digital quail]

holy canoli

the fire update

[vivid jungle]

What time

[wind vortex]

Fire graphics sweet as fukc

[sweet urchin]

Have they shown off street names?

[hot basin]

now

[wind vortex]

yes

[wind vortex]

very nice, kudos to the team

[hot basin]

Yes. Thank you it's huge 🫶

[wind vortex]

watch the stream or wait till next week

[sweet urchin]

Can thank Tim and Pat for those, they did great work

[vivid jungle]

I looked at it, might need some polish.

Embers or darkening.

I wonder if it might be better if it was a "3d2d" fire.

[wind vortex]

patch notes are not available from drunk since they can change

[hot basin]

I already heard people complaining of fire being too sharp in contrast to pixelated wood ahah

TBH, they have a point that logs are very B40 like

[vivid jungle]

It's actually not the sharpness (?) of the fire, maybe it's because it's too high rez in comparison with the rest of the game. It gives off the feeling of a fire fx gif run through a pixelator.

[hot basin]

Yes, that's it. Sorry, couldn't find the right wording there

[vivid jungle]

The issue is that you can't have it both ways and not feel odd, either you commit to going higher rez and have all the shiny new toys (embers, darkening, etc...) OR you keep it lower "quality" (not previous PZ fire, just not as high rez as it is now).

If it was a rotating decal plane it could help sell it off in 3d even better in comparison to just a sprite.

[hot basin]

I guess having that right on top of B40-looking logs makes the matter even worse. Logs are more pixelated than most objects in the game

But good to know that what we now seem to think is the main feature (interactive street names) was actually only the work of 2 devs.

Makes me wonder what everyone else has been cooking... 42.11 could include a big feature

[trail fiber]

Amazing the fire i hope they will fix the 2d wooden logs

[lone sorrel]

very nice being able to see a preview like this

that's quite the long video, can you guys list the most noticeable changes? I've already spotted the named roads on the map

[crystal field]

Yellow

[hot basin]

As I said above, is mostly a polishing patch. Polished animations/ragdolls, 3D placement, fire etc.

The most visible feature is indeed the street naming. I stress "the most visible" because parts of me is hoping for tons of under-the-hood work and updated mapping tools (for modders).

[lone sorrel]

is fire still the old sprites
and does it still function the same

probably not anywhere close to being a rework so far

either way, polish is what i was hoping for, could finally bring myself to start playing again

42.9 and 42.8 brought a lot of cool stuff but wasnt the smoothest experience from the looks of it

[hot basin]

We don't know if how fire works changed. We just know of a new very high res sprite for it.

I agree, good to add more meat to the game. But you have to cook the meat to be truly palatable. And this patch is just that.

[worn magnet]

NEW ANIMATIONS RAHHH

[lone sorrel]

WHERE WHERE WHERE

https://tenor.com/view/correctcity-feral-gif-21818350

[vivid jungle]

animations?

[hot basin]

Havent seen any in my quick scrolling but I catched drunk mentioning that so I am just repeating that

[nocturne nexus]

so cool!

[novel solstice]

still no multiplayer

[hot basin]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-cringe-face-wtf-eww-gif-10263738266103445636

[median sundial]

gta 6 before MP

its gonna happen

[novel solstice]

ww3 will happen before multiplayer

[wind vortex]

unrealistic expectations again

[vivid jungle]

Actually, now that I think about it, what is the point of having log sprites if you have actual 3d logs?

By sprites I mean the actual sprites in the fire place.

??? lol.

Another idea is one regarding fire spread and fire fx. I think that at a 1-2 tile distance from the 'border' fire, lit tiles should combine into larger 'fire tiles' (so instead of a 1x1 it'd be a 2x2 and so on), mimicking fire variation instead of a uniform tile.

[prime ember]

Relic from a past time, we only got 3D models for things starting in B41 so it will get updated eventually I am sure

[vivid jungle]

No, I mean they have log models right now

[prime ember]

Yea

[vivid jungle]

Sprites make sense for UI if they want to keep using them :>

I've been looking at screenshots and just mapping out low poly geometry in my head if they were to be made in 3D

[prime ember]

And here I was thinking about starting a new non-goof around run

I shall wait I suppose

[nocturne nexus]

😆

[vivid jungle]

Logical next step of the 'drink mixing' system? Alchemy.

[prime ember]

1 hour 30 minute days is wild

I like 1 for sp, and 2 for mp - so curious how this will play out

[leaden parrot]

Here's proof of the gun bug. This is with maximum aiming level and M16 in debug mode. Notice how the first few shots stagger the zed without damaging. It seems to only damage the zed when the target reticle is focused (which doesn't make sense due to the bullet still hitting and staggering the zed). The ONLY mod installed in this clip is combat text, and it happens without combat text installed.

already posted to forums, just wanted to share because I've seen some gaslighting about this bug (people saying it's due to a mod or low aiming or something like that).

[tough trail]

https://tenor.com/view/oppenheimer-cillian-murphy-cillian-murphy-peaky-blinders-gif-1787947313354313976

I knew it

[west stirrup]

Looking at the logs it looks like damage is done tho?

[leaden parrot]

Right? Yet it deals no damage in the game.

So there's clearly some level of disconnect between what the log is outputting and what's actually happening.

[west stirrup]

weird

[leaden parrot]

my clip shows the zed being undamaged after THREE M16 hits. Even if combat text were inaccurate, how would it survive three hits?

[worn magnet]

you only hit them in the torso once and you hit them in the leg the other times

it shouldve fallen yeah but idk about killed

[leaden parrot]

Leg damage can kill zeds, see what happens when you stomp their legs. Also in other instances I've had no damage shots on the lower torso. Keep bothering me about it and I'll drop more clips.

[worn magnet]

yeah stomping their legs is kinda dumb and shouldnt kill them either

[livid solar]

The tutorial says to only aim for the head on the ground

If it helps any

Tip says it does not damage to them

I feel like you should be able to break their legs at least

[frigid kraken]

Fire rework??

his fireplace is different

[abstract sparrow]

42.10 patch speculated to come next week? I'm all for it.

[wind vortex]

yes

[wind vortex]

yes, not speculated, but surely since we got the preview already

[elfin lily]

You kids are probably too young to remember Chronicles of Elyria, but I was just reminiscing about it and how lucky we are that a company like TIS exists.

[hot basin]

I already see a mod to quick search road names from the map...

How about devs undercut this for once, and make it a vanilla feature?

[wind vortex]

try 12 for mp without the server pausing and you will feel like you're living there inside

[cerulean glacier]

Can anyone give me a TLDW of what was shown on that preview build video

[lone sorrel]

roads now have names, i.e. "Smuggler's road" on the map
new animated sprites for fire, (really high-res)
ragdoll tweaks apparently
manual item placement/positioning improvements

thats what ive noticed

[solemn meadow]

So, I guess B42 Release is next update

Or it will be 42.10

[sweet urchin]

42.10

[vivid jungle]

Can you click and drag items

[hot basin]

Yes, not bad at all. Polishing is what we need! But that preview just shown the most immediately obvious changes... Looking forward to read the full patch notes!

[hot basin]

Pretty sure that items positioning is still through the 3D placement HUD, which has been fully refined now. Click & drag would be messy to implement, I think. I can't imagine that working well with zeds to fight in interiors

[lone sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-idk-idk-about-that-gif-7336250873949261946

[novel solstice]

multiplayer whoud be good implement

[hot basin]

I dont see that happening before autumn at the earliest.

[nocturne nexus]

literlally lol

[frigid kraken]

lol

[gleaming gust]

when the game is ready for it and we get actual build 42 mechanicss working

I'm curious about what the architectural changes that prevent MP are, since the Steam post mentioned them

[trail fiber]

But the fire is still like, related to the cell? I mean if i start a fire and i leave the fire goes like in pause till i come back

[hot basin]

we have no clue at this stage if there's been a fire rework (in the sense of mechanical rework), or we got just a visual enhancement. For that we gotta wait the patch notes

[trail fiber]

I mean with the 42 the fire apread still the same of the 41?

Till now I didn't use fire at all

[hot basin]

Yep, fire mechanics is still the same as B41 as of 42.9

[trail fiber]

Thx!!!

[formal thunder]

Do y'all think we will ever get some indoor generator compatibility, or building-bound ones like prisons that have backup generators, I dunno

[gleaming gust]

possibly if the industrial mega machine stuff comes through, where you can re-power a whole city

[formal thunder]

[gleaming gust]

If you ever saw those thursdoids

Using a factory to mass produce stuff

[formal thunder]

I remember one with that machine arm I think?

[gleaming gust]

Well that feature mightve been mentioned with the power being re-enabled, but how it would power itself remains a mystery

[formal thunder]

Project Zomboid going to turn into Factorio

[gleaming gust]

Hydroelectric? Solar? Nuclear? Last two might not be it, the first one maybe, Ohio river being there

MP servers having large scale operations like that definitely benefit from it

[hot basin]

feel like something like that is beyond the scope of B42 TBH

[gleaming gust]

Can't remember if the feature was even "promised" to be 42

[hot basin]

I honestly hope not. It's a cool concept, but devs have already quite a bit to work on for this build

If they are actually going for it now...well, multiplayer won't happen before well into 2026 😅

[lone sorrel]

im against full power restoration, but there nonetheless remains a lot of alternatives

like making your own steam engine or harnessing energy from the wind

[gleaming gust]

Full power restoration might eventually in the late game make some things trivial, but thats how we IRL ended up in our current lives, figuring things out to make life easier. Realistic! (but you are right, it would be HARD to operate an endless 24/7 power supply even with multiple people in an apocalypse of zombie variety, depending on what methods would be available)

Either way, I'd love to have a way for solo survival to have some non-gasoline based power for lonely survivor needs, or at fucking least add a vanilla tanker vehicles so one doesn't have to lug endless canisters from a pump 😄

Primitive food preservation of course can also reduce the need for gasoline power, just nervously "afraid" how they are gonna implement it, how painful it is to do

let me dig a cold cellar damn it!

[nocturne nexus]

dried meats!

[gleaming gust]

with crust?

[nocturne nexus]

i really hope we get dried meats lol, yes with crust

[gleaming gust]

drying is a very good way, not sure how dried meat would work with meal making

drying, cold cellar for natural refridgeration...pickling, brining

cheese making (yes Pat Bren, please)

[waxen shuttle]

Im surprised meat drying isnt in

Considering they want people to survive in the wild and shit

[gleaming gust]

butter and fish meta ever stronk

former may not exist in wilderness maps, the latter works very well at keeping weight

I just wanna have cattle that I butcher sometimes for a lot of meat 😦

Mp when? More like, cow is a million calories when?

[prime ember]

Honestly I have always wanted to try 12 or 24

Just never got around to it

[abstract sparrow]

Since 42.10 is still being previewed in beta-testing groups, it's possible they will add a street search. But... it's unlikely because in 1993, there are no Google Maps.

[hybrid olive]

https://youtube.com/shorts/msVDN5Dgizo?si=i5BkUFB7WWAKwvh8

[hot basin]

Yeah actually that's a fair point. I personally am starting to appreciate how disabling the minimap immerse you even more, exactly for the reason you mention there. Minimap is in a very meaningful capacity, a GPS

[wind vortex]

I honestly don't know why we have this tendancy to punish ourselves with no minimap, no loot, 16x pops, 2x muscle strain, no map, no vehicles and so on

I witnessed this regarding many players and content creators and it's just a high level of punishment that probably comes from other frustrations outside of PZ

[hot basin]

after 2500h you kinda want to keep the game you love interesting. As simple as that.

Vanilla level loot is straight up boring to me.

[nocturne nexus]

yah same here , i always played with minimap

[wind vortex]

for instance playing without the main map is immersion breaking imo bc as a native kentucky resident, the char knows where the grocery store is, knows his neighborhood and etc, disabling that is like being teleported from another dimension

[hot basin]

🤷‍♂️ if you wanna stick to realism, It's a game and some things are there for that reason. I have the ability to understand that, so do you.

16x pop is just for content creators really. No one with a healthy approach to the game would genuinely play that hoping for a long term save.

[wind vortex]

I had a save with 16x and the game is very very slow

shaders pre-caching maybe

lol deleted his message

[nocturne nexus]

yeah i dont like sprinters or high pops rofl , thats insane people play with those to me more props to those who do it

[hot basin]

I mean... This is a very interesting convo honestly.

To me at least, since I do host a small semi-hardcore server.

In my view, there's two types of "hardcore" approaches. The 16x approach, to me is just something that make the game boring. A clicking zed killer simulator and takes out the life out of the game.

On the other hand, small tweaks on the hardcore side can make things more interesting if done right. For example:

• Lower loot
• No minimap
• Cars with missing parts to make the process to get a functioning vehicle something rewarding

As for sprinters... I also dislike them. However, a 1-2% sprinters is actually quite nice and keeps you on your toes

[hot basin]

What am I looking at?

I am old school, I just use the Random Zombie mod

[tidal canopy]

you can spawn lots of sprinters with a mod

[hot basin]

I wouldn't want that. A sprinkle of sprinter, one every 100 zeds, is all I care for.

[tidal canopy]

good for MP and setting traps/events

[hot basin]

ahah I am not the kind of host that actively tries to kill his own users 😛

[wind vortex]

for me hardcore is 4-5x pop 0,01 loot with 40% diminished 1,67 muscle strain, very low vehicles spawns in very low condition and a very dry world

[tidal canopy]

you know you can just crush them with a car since their bodies are by default more fragile than normal zombies?

[wind vortex]

plus mods: The Scent Of Blood and KYR real weather Time decrease vehicle condition

[hot basin]

I would agree. And let's not forget Multi-Hit OFF.

BUT, as a host...I want my server played hence I have to meet players in the middle

Time decrease vehicle condition is a MUST to me. Together with Vehicle repair overhaul

[tidal canopy]

multi hit off? hello cars, bombs and guns

[wind vortex]

multi hit is very debatable

[hot basin]

Nah, I leave it on because everyone loves it.

[prime ember]

always off for me, even on my servers 🙂

[wind vortex]

some weapons should have it

[tidal canopy]

stun lock in PVP MP is very debatable, always favors who hits first

[hot basin]

fair play!

there's a mod I saw some time ago... hang on

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3138387399&searchtext=multihit

[wind vortex]

I believe long blunts and blades should have a degree of multihit

small blunts and blades no

[granite eagle]

workshop item

a decade on steam but I'm still stupid

[wind vortex]

if shaders pre-cache update, they signal an incoming patch which should be the case for next week

[nocturne nexus]

dont call yourself dumb!!

[granite eagle]

maybe just then

[nocturne nexus]

lol

[tidal canopy]

i'm dumb dummy

[hot basin]

there's an argument to be made that with B42 being very crafting heavy, loot going down should not be an issue at all. Even preferable to get people more engaged with the crafting system

[nocturne nexus]

that dont fly on my watch

[remote lodge]

why have no mods here??

[hybrid olive]

It would be cool if pz had a system that made it easier to level some skills if you are experienced in similar ones.
Good at carving? Here is an xp boost for carpentry since you are used to working with wood and wise versa.
Good at welding? Welp, you can have an xp boost for metalworking and wise versa (ik it's kinda different, but still).
There are quite a few more examples i could think about, but you get the idea.

[wind vortex]

it's dubbed thr crafting update

so we can expect even more crafting

and for loot, I recommend diminished at 40-50 % and 0,01 on all

[hot basin]

hence less loot needed exept for tools maybe

[wind vortex]

all

[hot basin]

ye I have most at 0.2 (for multiplayer setting

[wind vortex]

tools included they are the first culprit ;))

[hot basin]

food is way down. Otherwise there's no point in engaging with hunting, farming, animal husbandry fishing etc

[wind vortex]

I tried a 0 on tools but some can't be crafted as of now and they lock you out from progression

[hot basin]

only know that if you try I guess eheh

[wind vortex]

dude food is always 0

perishable food I use for compost

canned food is out of the question

[hot basin]

again, I agree but gotta give concessions to player if I want a used server

[wind vortex]

depends on who you are playing with

my dudes enjoy a fully looted world as of now

[hot basin]

most of my people do as well

I feel like we should exchange notes. We got a similar approach

[wind vortex]

Yes I can share some of the sandbox settings vars

for MP, what we used last time

but do take in consideration we were running a 200+ modded server for 41

[hot basin]

I am happy to do the same here. I have a B42 setting I am working on

[nocturne nexus]

mine dont and its annoying trying to balance things for them because its always too little or too much lol

[wind vortex]

so a lot were tweaked to justify the mods

[nocturne nexus]

and i dont want to have to use mods in my servers

[hot basin]

Same here hehe. I also have a modpack I am working on that comes with the settings

[wind vortex]

at least the QoL ones

like that Clean UI and Hotbar from Rocco such nice mods

[hot basin]

half my modpack is UI stuff this time around eheh

[nocturne nexus]

i just dont want to have to resort to mods especially on servers its just moreso a headache for me to deal with

[hot basin]

is not that difficult honestly

[wind vortex]

simple once you get the hang of them, editing the files are a bit rough

[nocturne nexus]

yeah its not, unless map mods, i just do not like them on my server and i would LOVE that in 42 i do not have to resort to them

[wind vortex]

yeah tell that to Spiffo ;))

[hot basin]

what you find difficult about those?

[wind vortex]

I would also like to not use them but alas they are not in vanilla

[nocturne nexus]

never was able to get them to work except for once was just too much of a headache

the new map expansion to me is sufficient enough i think

[wind vortex]

it's gonna be easier with the mod.manager from 42

[hot basin]

is not that different from other mods. Except there's an extra line to put in map folder

[wind vortex]

libraries > tiles > maps > other

must follow the load order

[nocturne nexus]

believe me i looked up tutorials on it and it never worked so i was doing something wrong , but 5 times i just done with it

this is for dedicated servers btw

[hot basin]

I had a server with...I wanna say at least 25 modded maps on it ahah

[wind vortex]

yeah I also got headaches from that guide on MP made by Aiteron

risky with so many map mods, they can mess up spawns and zed pops

[nocturne nexus]

yeah lol a lot of those maps are NOT balanced

[wind vortex]

some are way to generous in POIs

some are too cramped up and crowdy

[nocturne nexus]

wiil def be interesting to see how this new map works for mp

[hot basin]

Some maps were unbalanced, other had easter eggs, other broken foraging zones

BUT, once you figure them out...there's a lot of good maps too

[wind vortex]

I hope the TIS will add the option to spawn outside the regula map

in the procedural lands

[hot basin]

oh for sure it will. Once they add iron ores

[wind vortex]

they have

it spawns in deep forests

but not as ore tiles like flint and limestones

you need to forage for it

requires lvl 7 I believe

[hot basin]

rough

[wind vortex]

well, it's iron

and spawn chance is very low below 1%

and with foraging 10 I didn't find it in the procedural lands don't know why

debug said can be foraged and spiffo confirmed it but also mentioned the very low spawn chance

[hot basin]

Let's say it needs tweaking then

[wind vortex]

yes I agree it should be looked at @sweet urchin

maybe can clarify this situation: Why can't I find iron ore with lvl 10 foraging in the procedural lands ?

[wind vortex]

eh, you're not the first, should have been here last year before 42, it was a real circus situation going on ;))

[abstract sparrow]

And it's proper for players to start to familiarize the street names, and getting used to how we read maps back in the 1990s.

Paper maps, follow the blue lines, gray lines, and US "stroads".

Sex with who? It's either a zombie ass or non existant multiplayer ass

[oak ice]

It depends on your taste. im not here to judge.

[lone sorrel]

its official now, i'm getting back into pz with 42.10

[hot basin]

Same here!

Stars aligning. Music for the end mod also due to update very soon

[lone sorrel]

i was rooting for melee ragdolls to already be in 42.10 but i'll live

[hot basin]

Up until one month ago we didn't even know we could have ragdolls at all. That's just extra icing on a cake

[wind vortex]

they stated in a blog post way back from 2024, that they were coming, hired SinisterZomboid to implement them

shader pre-caching updated so patch is imminent today / tomorrow

[prime ember]

We also saw footage of when they release that video at the asylum I believe

[wind vortex]

ECN u ready?

[prime ember]

I am ready!

I have been wanting to play a non-goof around run for a while

So here I shall wait

Again

In the mean time I have been doing very short Day One mod runs

[wind vortex]

this time I'm grabbing the first screwdriver and disassemble every electrical sh!t from the start

[prime ember]

Genny here you come!

[wind vortex]

that day one is intense

[prime ember]

It is!

Pretty fun though 😁

[wind vortex]

and somehow even if I fight with the military suddenly they seem to turn on you, don't know if slayer intended this

[prime ember]

And runs so much better than it used to be

[wind vortex]

and I have holstered the weapon after fights

[lone sorrel]

i always do that ngl

[prime ember]

Probably not intentionally

[wind vortex]

yeah with b42 engine upgrades it runs smoothly

although if you crank up the NPC multiplier to 2x it starts snagging

[prime ember]

And they no longer use the zombie idle animation which used to bother the crap out of me

[prime ember]

Oh true

Same with NPCs+higher zombie pops it seems

[wind vortex]

yes I believe cauz the rendering is not evenly distributed alongside the GPU and CPU, the CPU does all the job apparently

leaving the GPU to render offscreen

hence the performance issues

[prime ember]

Makes sense

[wind vortex]

yeah I had a meta I always make a Lectro-Max riverside run, but without cars it's impossible

[prime ember]

😱

[wind vortex]

genny mag spawns there in those vans

[abstract sparrow]

People are now saying the in-game fortress in PZ is removed in 42.9.0

The squarish fort placeholder building. Gone.

[livid solar]

Correct

[lone sorrel]

honestly that doesnt make a difference

it was heavily WIP and empty anyways

[wind vortex]

hmm ?!

450 MB update just now
