the zombies are coming for you

spiral canyon
#

they have 3 stages where they first climb over it than they totally break it down and flood in

wet haven
#

yea I have seen it happen with normal chainlinks but not these

hidden sluice
wet haven
#

it's how I was grinding firearms on my last save.

#

wanted to test to see if the zombies pushed under the fence when they slid under the barricade like they did in 42.10 - but little to my surprise they busted it down lol

#

zombies can dance now?

Cant wait the day they add the breaking fence they show months ago

Almost to the 1 year anniversary of build 42.

#

In fact the normal chain link has been breakable since 42.6

#

Guess I missed it when I was reading 32.12 changes 😅

#

terrifying stressed I do think these ones need to be stronger though

#

and interesting that these ones are currently not apart of the change and I figured they would be but not the ones above

fickle topaz
#

I wonder if prison fences are destructble to zombies.

wet haven
#

I can check

#

they are the same as the ones above

#

so they would not be able to break them down

fickle topaz
#

military base near rosewood could also test those fences.

#

its only metal fences that are being affected and not the wooden ones.

wet haven
worthy dagger
#

only 3 years till full release

#

wish I had a 2 day work week too

fickle topaz
#

would be nice to climb a prison fence and use a sheet or blanket to protect against he barb wire

spiral canyon
#

they used to be unbreakable up until very recently

fickle topaz
#

build 42 made tall fence bases no longer useful.

wet haven
pulsar stratus
#

Nowhere is safe soon. Except some countryside locations.

Still demanding justice for stone/metal walls, if erected by professionals, they should not be able to be damaged by zeds rapping their knuckles against them!

#

Sandbox settings exist but they count for all kinds of player constructions, not specific ones.

tranquil matrix
dusk trench
#

No but the patches becoming smaller means B42 is more stable and feature complete. I said B42 multiplayer team is cooking considering they have been working in background for a while.

plucky stag
#

We just haven't had a blog post for 10 months now so we don't have an idea of how things are developing. Makes sense, they're busy and people get a little to ravenous with info.

tranquil matrix
#

I mean, theres patch notes

pulsar stratus
tranquil matrix
#

And what major features are still missing

pulsar stratus
#

bows, brewing, food preservation improvements

#

at very least those

tranquil matrix
#

bows im aware of

dusk trench
#

I don’t remember brewing ever being talked about

#

also these are minor features not major

#

I would say

tranquil matrix
#

I think they have talked about fluids

dusk trench
#

yeah

tranquil matrix
#

Food pres would be lovely tbf

pulsar stratus
#

a new weapon type that requires animations, a whole skill

#

not quite minor feature, that

#

whole primitive survival has to be completed, too

dusk trench
#

a new weapon and some animations wouldn’t be that bad, they already have the framework for ranged weapons

#

yes primitive survival does need to be more complete tho

wet haven
#

Wilderness survival loop is still missing a few things to be fully self sustainable still no? Not game breaking but it was one of the things they have pushed for

pulsar stratus
#

Premise of the statement was that "patches smaller because B42 is feature complete", and that is not true, this current patch just took longer for reasons stated above

tranquil matrix
#

I think bows might be delayed cuz they have to figure out animations and stuff

pulsar stratus
#

How you gonna hunt animals in the wilderness without ranged weapons?

wet haven
#

I would love me some spear hunting tbh

#

Throwing them would be so cool

pulsar stratus
#

throwable spears are very acceptable workaround if bows delayed

wet haven
#

And I want bows 😄

#

In fact, that should be done anyway as a pathway to food prior to getting bows up and running

#

But the trade-off would be you are closer and more likely to scare your target off or something

pulsar stratus
#

also something something advanced occupations

wet haven
boreal abyss
#

they suppose to revamp the heal systeme to be more complex cant wait to see what they gonna do imagine you get all part of the exo bone,organe,tissu ect when you get injured

teal anvil
#

are spears viable or not

Just realised that vehicles are much less likely to take damage from zeds than in B41. Very welcome change!

There are plenty sizable features missing still, keep your expectations low

did b42 add metal spears

#

They have good reach and with decent strenght and maintenance pretty deadly

hidden sluice
sullen maple
#

yayayayayayayay

#

o is the UI gonna get reverted

hidden sluice
#

As well as stone and bone spears

sullen maple
#

primate behavior

hidden sluice
#

Well if you ask me, using anything other than the simpler spears isnt worth it anyway currently, because they all do similar damage and break similarly quickly

#

They havent balanced that yet, nor have they adequately buffed welded and blacksmithed weapons

sullen maple
#

Oh thats lame! i wanted to make a kickass spear like from the scrap weapons mod.

royal wind
#

soo.. still no multiplayer?

sullen maple
#

surely once stable drops

hidden sluice
sullen maple
#

Open the game and check!

hidden sluice
#

I had so many knapped stone blades, twine/duct tape and sticks in my previous save that i could make like 20 spears

#

It was beautiful

#

To be honest i started making all sorts of stuff

#

By the way, leather aprons are worth it. They look sick and add a lot of protection to most of your bodyparts

#

But i digress from the topic
What did we like the most about this patch?

sullen maple
#

im an imposter..

#

i havent played b42 at alllll

hidden sluice
#

Me neither :C

#

The way i play is that i usually put 100 hours into the game then quit and wait 4-5 patches

sullen maple
#

i just wait until they release stable version at the end of the year.

#

its gonna be a big learning curve yet again

#

exciting really

sweet dock

#

You think it is that soon? Ahahah

it will happen, i believe.

It's quite possible your mod is having the issue. If you can test without mods it will tell you if the problem is with your mod or the game itself.

royal wind
#

no mods

elder junco
#

I've definitely not seen any complaints like this. I would recommend making a support ticket in the #1019767076094758924 channel. Would be a good idea to include the video there as well.

Had same issue, twice already, i think it's combined with ragdoll system, when i hit with melee weapon corpse of zed get ragdoll system triggered (dont ask me how), and it stutter

What bugs I found in two days of playing build 42.12

  • On the stairs, the sound of everything you do will be doubled.
  • It is impossible to unpack and cook macaroni and cheese.
  • After minimizing the game using the Windows button, the music in the game disappears.
  • In some cases, the snow on the road looks strange and strange stripes are visible.
  • When trying to drink a juice pack from the ground, an error pops up.

I just shared the problems I found.

elder junco
#

Sharing them here means they likely won't get looked into. We have an official process as it allows the team to collect the necessary information needed to investigate problems. When it's shared here it's not actionable.

#

We have bug reporting guides in each forum that discuss what's needed, and placing them on the forums ensures they don't get lost

Whether you share it on the steam forums, on the official TIS forums, or even in the #1019767076094758924 (hope Beard won't mind), we need the following information;

Which version of PZ? (says in the bottom right of the game)
Do you have any mods turned on? (please list which ones)
Is this happening in a brand new save, or a save you started on an older version?

Finally, and arguably most important;

What steps can ANYONE follow in order to experience the same issue

Just looked at some guides on how to allocate more RAM and realized that got removed

Then I must be blind or something

You're probably looking in the wrong place

is in \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid

right under the .exe file

You can also do it in a shortcut target so you don't have to redo it every time

yea should already be in there just gotta add the -xms -xmx

got it, thx

wet haven
#

then if you are really fancy and you use debug often you have a separate shortcut setup the sameway but with -debug

and then you never have to type that in

Currently, build 42.12 uses one nail for window and door barricades, although logically and realistically 4 should be used.

please add idle poses for character customization!
i also want to be able to change menu designs to be rounded or blocky (normal), change backgrounds to pink or white or blue or something instead of black, etc!

river loom
#

Sooooo... idk what that was but I was just fighting zombies with a pistol and suddenly my game got a stroke and basically nuked itself

#

I do use quite a few mods tho so good chance one of them did that. Tho it did happen specifically once I started to use the pistol

wet haven
#

I imagine any mods to do with firearms might need updating

i feel like diff menu and ui options just a few would be nice

i do like the b42 menu screen and this a lot tho

Guys, be careful when pushing zombies, there is a bug where the push may not count and the zombie bites you, this happens to me more often than you think

elder junco

#

I'm not used to the ragdoll physics so trying to knock over a zombie is way hard to tell if you succeded... It takes a lot longer for them to fall I've noticed.

woeful gust
elder junco
#

We are aware of reports of it, but have been unable to narrow it down, which is why we need reliable steps to reproduce

woeful gust
#

What do you mean by reliable measurements? videos?

elder junco
#

I mean can make it happen reliably. When we try to make it happen, it doesn't.

woeful gust
#

Okay, I'll go into debug mode and see how this bug happens, I'll give you the instructions soon.

woeful gust
#

just happened to me in testing

#

and apparently I saw the cause

#

it happened again

#

I will test about 20 more times, if it happens most of the time, then I have found the cause

boreal abyss
woeful gust
#

I'll try to record, my PC has to be able to handle it

#

I've also identified some bugs in the push animation (but it might just be my PC's problem)

#

My test report:

The bug doesn't seem to have a fixed cause, but I have some evidence.

It happened to me 4 times in total during testing.

Most of the time it happened while I was standing still, with only one occurrence when I moved sideways. I'm still investigating further, but I think it must be something related to the hitbox.

#

In the tests I tried to use as many pushes as possible, but apparently the response was just the opposite, it was with fewer pushes (1-2) that it happened

#

In the test, I took away my character's strength and put in the weak and feeble trait.

#

I hope they help you guys at TIS

#

Oh, I forgot to mention, there seems to be some kind of NO-CLIP going on with the zombies, I ran into a zombie, and in some tests I went through it as if nothing had happened

did I help with anything?

is it possible to do a full primitive run without finding certain tools? last time i checked you need club hammers for mining or was this patched so that primitive hammers can be used.

elder junco
# woeful gust did I help with anything?

The fact that it's happening to you so readily is helpful, but our team still hasn't been able to replicate the issue on a fresh save with no mods installed. Videos help, though we have had a few already so we know for certain people are having the issue, we are just struggling to narrow down why they are having the issue since we can't seem to make it happen ourselves.

Torso and head overlapping causing headshots to be impossible

elder junco
#

I'm not aware of that one personally, but it doesn't mean the team isn't (QA handle the bugs, I'm just popping up to guide the community on the ones that are giving us a lot of trouble). I'd recommend filing a bug report. Worst case scenario we get a duplicate report.

#

!bugreport

#

Its already been solved by the community too

Please don't assume someone else will report it, generally they don't.

Anyways when u go to aim at the head hitbox

elder junco
#

reports here will get lost.

spiral canyon
#

im not at my pc so i cant make a forum post ill just hope they know abt this bug by now

elder junco
#

If you want it fixed, I'd recommend making a bug report when you're able.

spiral canyon
#

Im pretty sure i know how they could fix it

#

Making the head hitbox have a special property so it takes priority over the torso hitbox

primal cloak
#

any updates on multiplayer ?

elder junco
spiral canyon
river loom
spiral canyon
#

Currently getting a 3x damage boost from headshots is impossible

#

I mean its possible but not going to happen 90% of the time

#

Because when zombies are standing still or even slightly overlapping the hitbox of their head with their torso it causes the shot to instead hit the torso

#

Even if the head hitbox is infront of the torso hitbox

river loom
#

I have no other major vanilla changing mods so this is likely an actual vanilla bug

If you have any mod, any mod at all, assume its the reason for the bug. Bug reports are useless if theyre with mods enabled

Are we still getting more improvements to fall damage calculations? You can still get fractures at full condition with no moodles or health issues from a less than single floor drop.

The chance lowers the closer youre to the ground, doesnt mean you CANNOT get a broken leg at all, though, iirc

Easter Egg: When driving the red nascar vehicle, ensure your microphone is set to the correct input and say “KACHOW” the game will listen for the command and the speed of your vehicle will be uncapped from 120 mph to 500.

Sorry if this is the wrong channel to ask, but is TIS still split into 2 teams (or 3 if you count the mp team)? Reading an old blogpost they indicated there was a split, with some working on b42, and others on b43/npc mechanics in general, but since it was a while ago I just got curious if anyone knew.

# radiant shoal Sorry if this is the wrong channel to ask, but is TIS still split into 2 teams (...

There are multiple teams including external contracted teams (Such as TEA, Tanglewood Games, Formosa Interactive) that work on different systems. The NPC team built the foundation for NPCs and implemented it into B42 alongside basic Animals, while continuing to work on the system for full implementation in B43. There is also a branch for MP which is being worked on alongside B42. A branch for mapping, etc.

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it a lot. In my rereading I was aware of the other studios (e.g. TEA, Formosa), but I was unsure whether they are "teams", "collaborators", or "hired help" for Zomboid. You seem to indicate they are more hired help/contractors; less actual sublets of TIS/collaborations. I was also under the impression that there was a more clear split in the b42 ai and b43 ai departments, as I thought the idea is that the ai/npcs for b42 are a far more primitive version of the b43 npc code, logic and game design, but I could very well be severely off the mark. I also didn't realise that mapping is just a separate branch, but that makes sense. All in all, thank you for the detailed response, you are another example of how good the zomboid community can be.

wet nymph
# radiant shoal Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it a lot. In my rereading I was aware of t...

They are hired help teams, but they work very closely with the actual in house teams. I would speculate they have predefined goals to complete (e.g. Sound rework by Formosa), compared to in house dev teams which have an overarching goal to implement a feature (e.g. Animals) as a goal, but not specifically the features that make that up. That allows creative expression from Devs and leads to what we have now which is incredibly in depth features like genetic makeup of animals with dominant and recessive traits.
We don't know what's really to come in terms of full AI. We know there is a more experimental animal AI on a dev branch that closer represents the AI we are more likely to get in B43. Whether this will be implemented as part of B42 is yet to be known. The team that worked on Animals (mostly RJ based on comments) is not the same team that works on AI, so theres some disconnect during the initial implementation of those. The bar the community has set for NPCs is extremely high, and i have no doubt TIS will want to exceed even that over 10 years after removing NPCs from the game.
And thanks, i do my best to better the community 😄

In all seriousness, that has answered all the questions I had. You have been immeasurably helpful in understanding how TIS has managed to make such a good game. You are definetly on the spot for the bar being set high, but I can still remember the joy of the B42 unstable release. No other game has ever given me that hype before, so I think the hard working Spiffos in trench coats that are TIS will nail it.

I mean the entire team shares any blame to be fair, and I think that's fine. If I do a poor job then feedback isn't getting to the coders/designers properly, and then they need to pick up the slack, which means they aren't as focused on the things they specialise in, etc. It's a big domino effect.

Honestly with the shove bug right now I would recommend B41

That bug would confuse, and anger a new player who is already going to be overwhelmed with things. Likely causing them to not have a good experience with the game and ultimately quitting.

I have a question: if you kill some zombies, will the number of zombies reduce, or does it not matter how many you kill? For example, if I clear a town, will the zombies respawn the next day?

wet haven
# lapis perch I have a question: if you kill some zombies, will the number of zombies reduce, ...

there are a number of factors at play here 1) you are likely in the early days of the apocalypse so the world is still working towards max population. 2) if you are on default settings there are two different types of respawn mechanics but it takes quite a bit of time for them to kick in 3) if you are later into the apocalypse then you may be experiencing either in cell migration or out of cell migration where the zombies have been shuffled into the areas you have opened up

#

so short answer is yes respawns happen, but not the next day - likely either sounds or migration moved them

In all seriousness, I hope the people making that point were joking, but they didn't seem very sarcastic in their writing. I've only seen the tech demo npcs in 1 or 2 yt videos, and honestly the devs made the right decision in removing them, considering what they are able to produce now, who knows what could have happened with the game if they had to maintain those npcs.

Now that we have grapple tech and improved sneaking is there any plans to introduce executions to maintain stealth?
(Sneaking up behind an unaware zombie, one hit killing them and going into grapple tech if standing?)

I often find stealth is viable all the way up till you have a zombie in your building, then any combat alerts every single zed. (Or if you don’t trigger the one hit knife anim)

# wet nymph It's important to note that not everyone at TIS is a dev even if they have a dev...

Everybody has a different definition of "dev" to be fair. Some think it's only coders, others include animators, designers, artists, writers, etc. I think if you're contributing to the game in any way there's an argument that you should be called a dev. It's a bit strange because in the non-game software dev space, positions like project managers aren't considered devs, but in gaming they would be by most people.

gone are the days when word definitions meant something - dev, developer - anyone who develops something

or perhaps the words are muddied, like "influencer"...I am not an influencer for farting in bed, influencing the different smell molecule composition of the proximity indoor air. But someone posting brainrot or even the AI youtube channels stealing scripts, videos from others are influencers

As someone with a programming background, I do recommend people try to code regularly. I started at the age of 30. The only experience I had was a couple of C++ courses in university while I was getting my math degree. Job was in a language I didn't know, and I just went for it, got it, and it opened a lot of doors for me. It's obviously not for everyone, but if you're a person who likes to solve puzzles, I'd definitely recommend putting in the effort to learn. It's a great career, and improved the quality of my life significantly.

If you're starting from scratch & aren't sure where to get started, this could be a foot in the door -- once you understand the basics, all programming languages do the same thing (for the most part), just with different ways of being expressed.

Maybe I'd get decent enough by PZ full release to make mods for the game 😉

#

Yeah, if you're self-learning it'll take a lot of determination and focus as a heads up, but worth it in my opinion. If you need more structure I'd look at auditing a course at a university. I wonder if Harvard/MIT have online courses, I think they do

#

mods are a great way to practice actually

#

Then hop over to the Unofficial Modding Discord & follow some guides for adding a single item into the game --it's all downhill from there 😛

#

gotta make those stone/metal walls immune to zed damage myself!

elder junco
#

worth noting... practice is the most important part of coding. So after getting the basics down from some online course, try to find a simple goal/target and build it

#

Calculators are a good one

#

And if you ever have questions just ask. Programmers can't turn away someone who asks them a programming question

#

it's encoded in our DNA

pulsar stratus
#

I'll keep all this stuff in mind, but seriously, at least make a sandbox setting for proper stone/metal walls taking no zed damage (maybe if built with high enough skill level)..........wink wink

yknow... that would actually be pretty cool

#

just not very practical, nothing to dig out sadly

#

i think there's still the compression garbage truck on the mod hub with which you can create zombie cubes

#

questionable morality, but working as a wall...

pulsar stratus
#

well, having trucks to begin with would please many players...I like looting, but Kentucky for an american state lacks a lot of industrial machinery and vehicles! What, did all the industrial workers flee with tractors, trucks, combine harvesters etc?

celest lichen
#

there was a mod that made working farming vehicles in b41

pulsar stratus
#

mods always there but I need TIS approval to use such life-altering things, ergo I always prefer the game itself to have stuff to ensure its counted as balanced

celest lichen
#

eh, you could probably tweak it to be loud as hell (if i remember it was already pretty loud) so using that thing anywhere but the country side was a death sentence

#

i imagine its even worse in b42, considering, yknow arms spaghetti

pulsar stratus
#

more realistic stuff pls, not just the bad realism, but also good realism (I totally did not read this same sentence from PZ reddit)

Am I crazy or do keys keep appearing on the ground AFTER I visit an area and come back? Im like 99.99% sure this happens. Almost every time I go past lectromax there are 2-7 vans with maybe 1 key, and when I come back there are more on the ground.

i havent noticed anything , but ill keep eye out

#

I've been seeing it throughout B42 but figured it was something that would get fixed, but its never been mentioned. No mods.

#

Could be intended though, keys falling out of zombies pockets lol. I also wondered if there are 'forage findable' keys that somehow appear when you leave

#

Its so reliable im sure I could get a video

Does anyone here have extensive knowledge about Prorjct bomboid raccoons

#

project bomboclat

#

all i know is that they are ingame, you can kill them, and make a hat out of them

#

they appear to be quite common even in urban towns after a longer while

#

Does anyone have a mod to fix the pushing bug?

#

In B42.12

#

Or will I have to wait for the next update?

If the devs have not used my money to be thrown into the woods to hunt and kill wild animals with their bare hands to better understand and simulate survival mechanics, I want a refund.

#

I've faith that these people can give me the best simulation of going outside on the market.

You cannot convince me that this man does not have the power to build a new world on the ashes of the old. Such lies will be dealt with harshly by my tribe of illiterate survivalists with wooden clubs.

Pat will run out of pencils, paper and ink, forced to chisel cuneiform into clay tablets in the corner of the village, shunned as the only literate member of the tribe. Go without the false trappings of technology, and realise that sooner or later, when the last drop of your precious gasoline runs out, there will be a return to monke

make eating raw eggs cause sickness and eventually death without proper medicine

#

watching streamers eat raw eggs during gameplay with barely any consequences is weird

elder junco
#

I don't think raw eggs generally make you sick. It's something like 1 in 20k eggs are believed to have salmonella. The issue is if you do get one of those 1 in 20k that you get REALLY sick.

Aw man... I crashed from a power outage, and when Ioaded the game it was Jan 1 hahaa

elder junco
plucky leaf
#

Yep fresh save no mods

elder junco
#

thanks... I thought it was still an issue, but couldn't get confirmation on fresh save no mods

#

and "power outage" can be hard to replicate in testing lol

plucky leaf
#

LOL yeah it was a complete cutoff out of nowhere

#

let me know if there is anything I can do, happy to send the save or w/e

#

RIP Steve, I hardly knew ye and you had a cool car

From my understanding it isn't even the raw egg in most cases as it is contaminated shell

# elder junco Fresh save, no mods?

There's a bit of info on the lower right side of the screen (with build number and shi like that). I suggest adding annotation there that would say if current game have mods enabled or not

I hate when you try to escape trough window and you just open the curtains and die

#

This is so annoying I died like 5 times in this game that way

#

This is better to right click the window but when you open the doors and see like 20 zombies you just freaking out
