Does anyone else just not care much about mods anymore? They're all AI sloppa these days anywayPrevious Zed:>>3007573
>>3072622I dont actually play or care anymore.I just check what new viewpoint addon is released and how the redditors and devs are coping with how fast and better ai modders can do better job than the devs for 15 years
You're not beating the contrarian allegations lil bro
>Cooking 8 lets you add rotten insects to chum instead of only fresh
>>3072987Is cooking worth doing a run focused around? I love cooking and food but in zomboid whenever I interact with it it's just "slap all your shit into a pot"Are there fun recipes worth pursuing? Is role playing a chef rewarding? Might give me a reason to finally fuck aroung with farming
>>3072987professions in zomboid make no sense.
>>3073139no loljust use whatever cooking mod is being most updated at the moment
>>3073139Get vanilla foods expanded and it becomes fun. You can make so much shit. Bake lots of things. Do more with farming, the veggies have more uses like molasses from sugar beets etc And in turn it means you can level it better
>>3073141Insects and chum are a bit weird anyway. Once you add a live one to chum, its good forever, so keep stocks of chum in a crate and add fresh insects as you forage
>>3073139tfw no picky eater trait so my survivor will only eat chicky nuggies or she'll get every negative moodle
>>3073141Most of the game makes no sense the more you learn about the mechanics or lack of programming.
>>3069487Weapon skills are bugged for all weapons except axes, although axes have so many debuffs it hardly matters.All non-axe weapons are -1 effective skill, axes are effective skill.
>>3073348Oh right, it was axes and not long blunt.
>We had meat proxies insisting that strength allowed you to bypass the zombie grab animation because an AI was hallucinating to themMy sides.
>>3072622Should I play the first person mod?>lmao AI slopLiterally do not care as long as it works well.
>>3073804>Should I play the first person mod?Give it a shot. The worst that can happen is you don't like it, and you uninstall it.
>>3073804why do you need our approval to click a button
>>3073808>>3073813I'm asking because I don't want to reinstall PZ yet again just to get bored after 1-2 days. Isometric PZ just makes me wish it had more CDDA features, but first person seems like it would shake things up and make it fresh
>>3073824>I'm asking because I don't want to reinstall PZ yet again just to get bored after 1-2 daysYou're going to get bored after 1-2 days with the first person mod. It doesn't shake things up that much.
>>3073829Man I really want to like PZ, but after finding a safe attic and hoarding some supplies I just get bored. At least with CDDA there's the labs to raid and projects like death mobiles or building a base for your NPC slaves to build stuff
>>30737341.) That's not what that argument was about2.) That thread is from at least a month ago, I think maybe 2 so I don't know why you're sneeding about it againDid anons tearing your asshole open do lasting psychological damage or something?
Anyone here have any recommended viewpoint add ons besides the obvious ones like 3d objects and such?
>>3073941he got laughed at for thinking dead island 2 was awesome last thread, among some other relatively recent humiliations
>>3073972i prefer iso, sorry. the rv one from last thread looked dope though.
>>30739411.) That's what that argument was about2.) Because it's fucking hilarious that you asked an AI of all things about a game where even the players have no fucking clue how the game works
>>3073991dead island 2 actually has an extreme amount of depth and world/object interactivity. it's the most in-depth zombie game ever
>Wait 5 years for a new update.>There's now a skill that lets you craft the useless garbage that you skip while looting.
>>3074279>Adds a skill that requires another skill that requires another skill to useIt's fucking skill prerequisites all the way down!
>CDDAfag still melting
It'd be neat if zombies on default settings, when killed had a 10% chance of turning into crawlers instead of dying or something.Disabling a zombie should be fairly easier than outright killing one.
Now i only need Xenomorph mod...
>>3074091>youNot this schizobabble again. And no, it was multiple anons proving to your illiterate ESL ass that strength was a determining factor in the push away mechanic. No one said you "bypass the grab animation".I just looked it up, too, it was from a thread over a month and a half ago and you're still seething about losing that argument. Actual schizophrenia. Going into my filter.

Do zombies still fuck up your ropes and shit, making bases with no stairway access risky as hell?
>>3074469Yes.
>We've reached the point where a lot of PZ players are such newfags they don't even remember wells having tainted water in early B42Grim
Any mod for something like radioactive fog/radioactive outside?Id would play well with shit like Sewers/Basements..
finally got a working carnow the game opens upnot sure if I should focus on blacksmithing first or masonry to 8 to make stone maces
>>3074309Check the new gore dismemberment mod
>>3074546I admire your dedication. How long has it been? Three weeks now?
>>3074550yeh this run has been going for a while
>>3074554I admire it, my longest run was 31 in game days.I hate my restartitis.
>>3074532I didn't even know that they had fixed that, I kept looking for houses with water pumps.
>>3074577Wells are 100% safe (for now)It's been that way the entire lifespan of the game except for that one patch where they insisted it was a bug (it wasn't) and only turned back the change when the entire fanbase got pissed off at such a petty and spiteful alteration.
>>3074583>>3074577>>3074532Drinking straight from the water source is safe even if the game tells otherwise. Its only drinking tainted water from containers that is lethal.
>>3074592Drinking directly from tainted water sources can kill you if you drink from it twice or more rapidly.
>>3074592Drinking river water does make you sick brah. Plumbing barrels to sinks purified the water if getting it from the tap. I assume that didnt used to be the case because redditors still talk daily about heating their tap water
>>3074592>Drinking straight from the water source is safe even if the game tells otherwise.No.
>>3074605Plumbed sinks purifying water has been in the game for like a decade at this point.It's absolutely a bug, but for some dumbass reason the devs have left it in, probably due to spaghetti code.
>>3074605>>3074609He's 90% right. Drinking from a water source gives WAY less sickness than water from a bottle for some dumbass reason.Even with weak stomach, drinking your fill from a puddle or river/lake in a single gulp won't kill you.
>>3074609>>3074605>>3074602Ive played for hundreds of hours drinking safely from rivers and ponds and never got sick.Unless it changed in some recent patch OR you have some mods you can endlessly drink from river with zero problems, only drinking from containers is lethal.Retanaru video about it is years old but still holds true.
>>3074622Retanaru's video also shows drinking repeatedly from the river to be deadly. You have to let the (nonlethal) sickness go down first.
>>3074625No it doesnt, it shows how you literally have to be hyperthermic for days WITH traits and literally only then you can die from drinking river water.
lmeow imagine drinking just water and not the metatroon concoction of milk+alcohol+water+coffee+chamomille/lemongrass brew that covers all your character's needs with autodrink
>>3074643>milk+alcohol+water+coffee+chamomille/lemongrass brew that covers all your character's needs with autodrinkHaven't played the game in a long time eh? Autodrink has been removed for quite some time for anything but pure water.>>3074634https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ribgMWr8OUI actually tested tainted water again for build 41.66 and you still don't die from a single drink action. Just don't stack them.>Just don't stack them
>add few completely unrelated mods>going into combat stance makes the error counter go brrrrr>error log shows errors for 4 mods, two clothing, container mod and Fancy HandworkFuck it, the game works fine im ignoring it.
Why'd they spend 5 years adding new trees for the community to completely replace them with the new 3d models and new iso 3d camera lol
>>3074692>Spends 5 years making new trees>Somehow in that length of time, didn't notice they interfered with LOS and blocked second floor sprites and shit through wallsI don't get it.

How is project viewpoint for compatability? Are you guys throwing it on top of your modlist
>>3075947it requires its own separate "client" so all mods need to be made compatible with it
>>3075953Ah that's probably the best way of doing it but I'm too comfe with my bloatlist
>>3073869>zomboid cdda scenario>viewpoint + addons + small qol mods
Am i missing something here... pottery is kind of a dead skill? The last recipe unlocks at Pottery 5 and levels beyond that provide nothing?
>>3076414Sorry, level 7* gives ceramic blacksmith mold.
Can someone just fix zombie spawning, hearing, pathing, vision already so it behaves more like CDDA instead of them being telepathic?
my zomboid is so modded its the complete opposite of lemmy's vision https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TewgioWWVAE
>holstein cow
>finally got my organized trait2 encumbrance fannypack all i need
>>3075333>Its literallt referred to in game as a mechanicIs it in a tutorial somewhere? I haven't seen that.>Why would you plumb otherwiseTo use water indoors, without having to be outside and thus seen by zombies, or being rained on, etc?>Its the entire point of itUnless our character somehow has a fucking RO water system under the sink, the water should still be quite deadly.
>>3075395>there are people itt who don't know there used to be a lucky/unlucky trait (that did nothing)Lucky/Unlucky trait didn't do nothing. In singleplayer it gave a comically shit buff by making chances of certain items higher, and it also increased repair success rates.In multiplayer it was nonfunctional (Maybe repair rate was better? But I don't recall) because the devs knew it'd make an issue where some retard would open a looted cupboard and find an axe.
Even you can do it too
are there any open viewpoint servers?
>steel rod quarters have no recipe to forge back into halves its the little things in every craft tree, just like this
>>3078103>How a smart game would handle steel/iron smelting>Have a crucible half full of steel, but need to craft something out of iron?>Fill it up with iron, crucible becomes full crucible of iron for simplicity's sake>How it works in Lemmys retarded passion project>SORRY GOY YOU CAN'T MIX STEEL AND IRON! DESPITE THEM BEING 99% THE SAME FUCKING THING!
>>3078119you know blacksmithing seemed daunting to me but its just the menus being convoluted again. Its the same grind as other trees by forging simple knives. Im at 8 on the primitive forge which lets me make the scrap long sword anywaysAnd yes, it pissed me off i can't make my wire fences using all my steel because the recipes specifically want iron bars
>>3078129You can't even craft wire despite there being a drawing plate...Which is specifically in the game for wire.
>>3078178many unfinished things like this and pottery, thats an unfished skill. Pipe pieces have no use. There isnt anything past level 5. Agriculture is in a weird spot. Some anon mentioned maintenance; you dont need to do anything. It rains all the time through spring summer & autumn to water your crops for you, the overwatering mechanic is currently disabled. and ive yet to ever see slugs or pests, just rare mildew. Hops, hemp and tobacco are all broken due to long growth time + bad month overlap, but hops currently do nothing. I assume indoor planting with greenhouses was supposed to come back with the realistic growth times but didn't make it. but im rambling now. masonry next
>>3078203>MasonryAhh yes, the 'smash rocks against each other for hours' skill. Much fun, many engagement!
>>3078214yeah I got it to level 4 and was waiting for another book, past the level 0 large rock hunt phase that's a similar grind of spamming stone blocks
>>3078225Making stone walls and other stone furniture must be really important, right? To defend against zombies and stuff?>No actually it's completely redundant and carpentry is not only easier to grind, but also way faster to build with>Although that being said carpentry to make walls and shit is also mostly pointless because ironically being indoors is debuff, not a buffI HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST, I HATE THE ANTICHRIST

I like how professions work in CDDA you can spawn as a expert and start crafting everything you know from your profession in CDDA as long as you are in a workshop, if you want to learn any other profession or need stuff you can recruit a NPC with that profession and learn from them or switch to their body and craft that stuff.

>>3082669Never go to anything but the ground floor of the game unless absolutely necessary. If a room is dark, do not enter it unless you are 100% sure it's safe.
>>3082729I learned this lesson in the raven creek mod map, where a certain school had a small, dark room at the very top. It even had those "do not cross" roadblocks in front of it. They were there for a reason, as there was a hole in the floor. My month surviving character fell 4 floors.
>>3082740All of this wouldn't be a problem if the game had a fucking save/load system of course. You can put cheap bullshit in a game as long as a player has the option to load a save.

>>3083802Basements are randomized iirc.
>>3083800>probably just an excuse to be lazy cucks and remove shit.Yeah, like the CDDA devs
>>3083802>Is there any randomized aspect of the map in current yearBasements (not preplaced ones) are randomRandom story events (campsites, car crashes, etc)And outside the map boundaries are procgenned forests that are random
>>3083807>>3083805Shit son, I don't think basements were a thing the last time I played. I can dig out my own little autism "basement" 'nam tunnels innawoods, right?
>>3083815> I can dig out my own little autism "basement" 'nam tunnels innawoods, right?Nope, you can't tunnel or dig.Also just a heads up, but basements suck cock. Totally dark once the power goes off even with cats eyes. So basically unusable unless you have a constant generator.
>>3083818>can't tunnel or digThat's pretty fuckin gay
>>3083800There's a pretty large area with a lake south of rosewood that looks like it would be pretty swampy.
I am in a pickle. I want to make the game way harder and more dangerous to stop me getting to the midgame (runescape base craft simulator). Part of the issue I have at that stage is giving my survivor reason to leave a fully sustainable base - i even have 2 raincatchers of 1.2l of fuel on top of fish and farming.However if I make the world more dangerous that would give less reason to ever leaveI feel this is where NPC troubles should be happening - why wouldnt a raider wanna enslave my cutie Survivor and take her oversized fenced off complex fpr themselves.I have thought of horde mods - whats the best? Or maybe I just put loot on 0.05 and play nomad - I just dont like the RV interior mods
>>3083815>>3083834There are mods for digging.
>>3083688Start small lad. QoL, add maybe 5 at a time then load your current save and see how they work. Then when your list is big enough start a new gameIm not on my PC now but will give you ideas laterThere was a good steam page for this too
>>3083727>common senseMeh i prefer getting mods for the individual elements over this
>>3074532all of my pre 42 knowledge comes from AA's youtube series anyways lol.
>>3083729>>3083727Clean UI will show you this already without another mod. Oh yeah, to the anon:CleanUiNeatUIEquipmentUILiterally everything related to theseThen my all time fav mod: Try Before You Wear. Absolute kino usability if you have loads of clothing mods
>muh iron oreWhy can't you just get metal from melting down... gee idk, the fucking million metal things you can come across in an urban country. Cars, metal fense, old water tanks, pipes, pylons, traintracks
>>3084425Because i want to play on my own. Eat shit lemmy.
survivor briefing got a cool update with new styles
>>3084438bro just fish for broken fishing traps, turn them into wire, smith them into nails, then melt the nails into iron chunks
>>3084438>>3084620My point is though this isn't vintage story set in the prestine nature. Zomboid has already been an urban setting. Cavemanning in the woods just doesn't mesh well. 99% who play "innawoods" also just find a premade structure
Kentucky area in zomboid is known for its rocky terrain and sand stone terrain and lowland swamps and creeks everywhe Yet all of kentucky is is wooded forest.
>Level 10 maintenance >Restoration expert>tinkerer>try sharpening 90% sharpness blade >damaged it
that's right chud there is always a chance to fail, just like in real life
>got to Camp Busy Beaver>no carWell shit, maybe at least there is some food and meds there.
I had >2 weeks to the 6 month mark so I went out for animals. Thoughts?Originally I was going to bring chickens back and hope to find sheep. How often would I need to come back to care for these? There is a chicken hutch, I can close it I hear even 1 cow is too much milk and work for singleplayer. Worth giving them a shot or should I think of butchering?My base is not that far away. I wouldn't mind the drive every 5~ days, but if the cows aren't worth, I have space for chickens at home
>>3085473chickens are not worth it, even without a hutch they die too easilysheep produce little milk and some yarn, but yarn is almost useless]the only cow that produces "too much milk" is the holstein cow, the simmental and angus cows barely produce enough for 1 butter every 2 days, meanwhile the holstein cow produces over 10L a day
>>3085537Generally I dont need any animals - but eggs would open up some fun recipes. Good to know about the cows. The 2 females are simmentalsWhats killing chickens? I think metapredators is off in my run
>>3085589usually the hutch being dirty, so remove the hutchotherwise the timeskip bug where reloading a chunk with animals causes 600 days to pass for them instantly, so they shit all over the place and starve to death
>>3085605Oh yeah I read about that. Thankfully theyre frivolous for me but that would annoy me on a character relying on them

>>3085765yjk
>>3080404why the fuck are so many zombie games so horrendously dogshit compared to zomboid, seriously what is it about making a good sandbox zombie game that's apparently so hard
lmao retard
gaaaaaAAAAAHHH FUCK YOU LEMMYYYYY
>>3085765what does the dog do? do you have to feed it?
What exactly is it people do to get full inawoods playthroughs, is it a setting in game or is there a mod that does it, or what?
>>30860361. you set all loot to insanely rare (0.05) so you cannot find anything you need from urban zones2. you set sandbox to extinction settings so that urban zones are inhospitable hells3. you spawn and immediately book it into the woods
>>3085958Nta and I just downloaded it myself but it has different breeds with different uses. I set mine to herd cows to keep them calm, others are good in combat, others better at sniffing out zedsBy default they cant die from hunger or thirst but it can be turned onI actually got it for the further addon: cats. I just want a base fren
>>3082669>here shortLYYYY~ *CRUNCH*kek, ngl i have died similarly more than once, now i use the "walk to" interaction if there aren't any zombies
>>3084425>Why can't you just get metal from melting down... gee idk, the fucking million metal things you can come across in an urban countryI'm in the middle of the woods, there IS no urban country.

>>3085958I've only gotten this guy (Benji) so far - well I've tamed other dogs but died right after - and he's basically a combat machine. I think the zombies have trouble targeting him or something, or maybe he just stunlocks them, but he's really good at helping to take them out. He's only gotten a wound I had to treat once.

holy...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu74aEAzlls
>>3086377I'm asking WHY the game doesn't let you do it though
>>3086571I don't know what that means dude stop replying to me
>>3086561Bruh your modlist?
I'm thinking of making a ad on for A life where the world sort of becomes more dangerous because of humans than zombies like the Walking Dead. first thread would by The Governor Faction. Maybe when you invade their base I can make a tank boss like the show. Then add the Terminus Faction and minor boss factions like the Claimers and Wolverines. Then Add the Big Bad Factions. Neegans faction who just throw tons of numbers at you and then the Whisperers and the Common Wealth who have advanced tech.
>>3086639You can melt down random metal shit. It makes iron/steel chunks, which you can hammer into bars and such.But unlike IRL where you can do this with borderline caveman tier tech, you need a whole list of special items ingame.

>>3087693>set all loot to 0.05 next timeBoy I sure do love going into a hardware store and their entire inventory consists of an empty leather tool roll and three nails
>>3087707then don't complain that the game is too easy when you can find a wood saw 2 minutes into a new run
>>3087693Man, and here I thought doing apocalypse would have been enough
>>3087720I have no issues playing apocalypse or high without getting boreddo you?
>>3087724Yeah. I tend to get a basic bitch early game home put together and then struggle to find a goal. Maybe I need to join a multiplayer server and live as a recluse innawoods or something.
>>3083779Good news, iron ore does spawn when foraging anywhere!Bad news, anywhere means also you can't go specifically to find it, itis rarer than fucking ammo, flat 1 chance on every area type and it's like worth an ingot/3 bars iirc, and why would you bother when you can get that from like killing 100 zeds or less, or even just foraging junk.I've found a grand total of one (1) ore ever, and I'm a foraging junkie. It's just more shit to fuck the caveman bros, I miss you rock meta.
>>3087833I admit I haven't found a single ore, ever, in any B42 build.
>>3087843It's a shitshow, played quite a while since b42 honestly I thought it wasn't ever going to be added so I don't know which patch did it, but I remember seeing it on the wiki randomly thinking nah that's a lie and lo and behold, iron rock. Seriously just better forget about it, I've found ammo like 20 times at the very least before iron ore. Also they fucked the focus search and I'm still pissed.
>>3087902The game doesn't really tell you that focusing doesn't actually make stuff appear more often, it just applies a modifier to your search radius for specific things.If you didn't find something while walking in the woods without a focus, you're likely not going to find it with a focus.
>>3087918Objectively fucking wrong holy shit, that's for profession and trait modifiers.You can test it with debug, it actually has a chance to turn a thing into another thing of the focus you are using, the thing is in b41 rare stuff wouldn't ever be swapped, like say ammo or recipe mags, but in b42 it can and will swap anything so no focus might be the new way.In fact I remember in b41 cheesing the fuck out of it since you could focus whatever and then go into and out of search mode until whatever was in front of you suddenly changed, it was nice for boxes of nails but it was patched as soon as unstable 42 dropped.Don't come at me with that shit, I AM the foraking.
>>3087973I stand corrected, our characters literally can use the force to transmute twigs into hemp dogbane.

0.05 loot btw
"A Really CD DA"you get it? cuz it sounds like "a really shitty day"lmao lemmy = genius
>>3087718why would a hardware store be empty in an apocalypse that killed the entire world overnight?
>>3088050It makes the reference obvious, so idk it could've been worse
>>3088143Not the guy you're talking to, but the way I imagine it; the world wasn't actually killed overnight, rather they died over a week and shit got looted before you got around to it. Or other survs are alive and you simply don't see them.
>>3088309If shit got looted, where is the cars/people fucking packed to the gills with loot? Canonically nobody left the area because of military blockade/snipers/etcThe game takes place three days into the apocalypse where it's implied the more southern towns have been eaten, but a week into the game Louisville has fallen and another week later the whole world is basically dead.
>>3088437Probably some kind of extended economic crisis before the zombies came and put everyone out of their misery.
>>3088452>Probably some kind of extended economic crisisNot really, there was some illegal chemical dumping and such but otherwise normal as normal 1993 rural America gets.
>>3086055Exactly what zombie settings are we talking here, like what zombie count, strength and toughness? I only ever play with the infection turned off and urban focused zombies. I'd like to avoid things being too overwhelming for me.
>>3088481extinction settings are 1.8x starting pop that turn into 3.6x by day 286% sprinters, double hp, some can open doors
>>3088003The "eat the keys, drink the gasoline, sacrifice sledges to the elder gods" rituals are the pathway to powers many zomboids would consider...unnatural.
>>3088510Don't forget to put all the cutlery from every house into a huge sack and throw it into the sun.
>>3088437They buried it to keep it safe, and most just memorised the locations without writing it down.
I don't think I can wait much longer. Going to try out viewpoint today, hopefully there are enough optimizations out for it by now.
Fresh new modder drama.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3821851850

>>3088541>have competition>gives uplost before it even started kek
>>3088526They buried entire mountains of shit in a couple of days and there's no disturbed piles of dirt or stuff anywhere? Sure.
Question about viewpoint and I guess modding on steam in general.Is it even possible to keep a dedicated 42.19 save with mods that don't update as a time capsule? If every mod doesn't have a legacy version I guess you can't?
Is there a sandbox setting somewhere for generally making the world much colder throughout all months? I feel like there is but I can find it.
>>3088541Damn that su->PZ_Optimization stole his stuffThat mod is the only thing making driving and chunk loading playable so uhhhhI mean his mod looks cool, i like the snow, but it probably bogs an already spaghetti mess game down. >>3088547>>3088546They probably did just take his work but thats how most modding scenes work lol. These guys need to be reminded they dont own anything. I had a debate with a plebbitor about this and told him the game dev company owns everything you make within it - literally in the copyrights. They got very emotional and told me its theirs. LOL
>>3088541I thought this was already in the base game. Did I not read about this in a dev blog at some point? I have never survived for years or anything.
>>3088726erosion yes, but it only affects outdoors
>>3088733I thought plants started growing on buildings and whatnot
>>3088740They do, yeah.
>>3088594YesYou want to copy paste the whole mods folder somewhere else & copy paste the whole PZ installation. Use notepad to make a command shortcut to launch it or run its own exe outside steam
>>3088726He expands on the erosion, lighting and adds building up snow (coolest part)
>>3086036Specific maps - Lost to Nature, Lost Province, Isolated Isle.
>oh boy its sure nice that i found this heater>now i can sleep inside rooms without risking burning to death from a campfire>place the heater>its need electrical powerWhats the fucking point? Once you provide power by planting generator entire house goes to 22C instantly, whats the point of a fucking heater that wont run without power? Why are modders so fucking retarded??
>>3088942>whats the point of a fucking heater that wont run without powerHow do you propose it makes heat without some form of power?You can heat a room with an antique stove or fireplace BTWThe upgraded fireplace IIRC also can't set your house on fire, or be walked into
>>3088951Well inteligent way it would be to make it run on fucking batteries.Whats the point of making heater run on power if setting up generator already makes house have heating? Its retarded.>You can heat a room with an antique stove or fireplace BTWYeah but i cant carry it with me.
>>3088942Umm bro have you ever had a portable heater? The hell u think they run on
>>3088957>battery powered heater kek. Car battery maybe but thats logistically retarded
>>3088957>Well inteligent way it would be to make it run on fucking batteries.What kind of fucking batteries are you getting in 1993 that will heat a room? Maybe a bunch of car batteries? >Yeah but i cant carry it with me.WEAR MORE FUCKING CLOTHES IF YOU ARE COLD ON YOUR NOMADIC RUNS
>>3088942>>3088957I feel like you don't even begin to realise or appreciate the amount of raw energy it takes to create heat and project it across distance.
>>3088960>>3088965>>3088967>>3088970Then whats the fucking point of the heater? Once i set up a generator the house magically goes to 22C anyway, heater or not. And outside simple campfire is enough and unlike heater it can be used to cook shit/boil water and refueled by effectively infinite resource that is wood.What fucking situation it would be even remotely useful to use it then? Whats the point of that mod?Realistic or not at least old Cryo Winter heater worked on batteries and was portable so it made sense to use it.
>>3088983Do crafted houses gain temperature when powered?
>>3088983Fair but i could never take a winter tun seriously fron someone using a 1xduracell powered heater
>all these faggots seething on behalf of the modder>not one of you cunts actually noticed that house doesnt magically go to 22C with generator power and it only happens on actual world power before shutoffFucking none of you play this game for fuck sake.>>3088997No idea, i remember there was entire issue of built houses not being recognized as one but maybe that got fixed... yeah i know, nice joke.
>>3089004To be fair it was rare as balls and ate through batteries like crazy. And on high levels of cold it also didnt fully prevented freezing to death outside.
>>3080907holy fuck... maybe I will try these mods out
>decided to fuck it and just leave the Camp Busy Beaver nd go south into the woods>at night in blizzard at -40C temp>forgetting that i have bot Volatiles and Silent Hill monsters installed and set to spawn at nightSome fucking cunt with swords for arms almost killed me..
>>3088143>Why would the hardware store be looted during the apocalypse??????It's a video game, bruh. If it bothers you that much because you're a nofun autist, go into sandbox and alter the start date to be way later.
>>3088437Retard, you have it reversed. Louisville checkpoint was set up to stop people from leaving Louisville. The radio broadcasts close to the time where the checkpoint goes out talks about the military shooting people crossing the lake "now", implying lots of people left the area who were either cleared to leave or just snuck out. When Louisville checkpoint gets overwhelmed, the dead spill out into the rest of knox county. By that point the rest of the world was starting to get infected because the virus already escaped Kentucky.>That's not what the in game world is like though!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?Yes. And? Stay inside all week, or use a mod, or sandbox settings if your tisms can't handle that. Don't whine about the game being too easy if it being challenging is "unrealistic" for you.

>>3089785>what mod adds all those screen effectsAnalog Memories.And probably Immersive Overlays count too.As for winter its https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3784098234with Immersive Snow.Its the only Eternal Winter i found that works and is to my liking now that main Cryogenic Winter doesnt seem to work.
>had ambient lights mod>set them to gradually fade out after the power cuts, down to only 5% eventually>had 1 streetlight outside base last 6 months and its just gone rip vibelights. I wonder if the bring back power mod is compatible yet
Dream mods I want. Vehicles can be built from individual components, repaired, modified and used as mobile bases. - My Summer Car Mod is already doing this and I'm seeing other mods take this approach. Deeper survival simulation - Not much mods doing this yet A world that exists without the player - Project A life is already doing this. A more challenging late game- Enemy NPC's stay static. My thing is over time enemy bandit NPC's would get stronger maybe attack you with tanks, choppers etc, maybe add some late end game stuff to raid like Military Silos, Mega Corp headquarters etc etc

>>3089935It doesn't, unless you changed the sandbox settings.
So y'all all playing innasilenthillwoods now?
Twas a depressing stroll..I went South from the burned farm and i got to some kind of a main road with lots of farms and pastures... All full of dead animals.At least poor things were perfectly preserved so my food situation is bit better but now i have to build shitton of drying racks before they all spoil.And i managed to find myself a dog so thats nice.
>>3088309Yeah but there's like no evidence of that. Every location basically in pristine condition as if everyone had simply disappeared overnight and a bunch of zombies spawned afterwards? There's a few burned houses here or there, a few car crashes but it really doesn't look like much happened at all. Highways barely full of cars.
>>3089315>Don't whine about the game being too easy?
>>3090082I started cutting down trees trying to make a path from the road leading to the rosewood complex to the rosewood prison but gave up part of the way and just abandoned my car to walk all the way there carrying my propane generator. It was so fuckin spooky ducking necroa zombies in the woods until I was able to find a working mrap to drive the rest of the way there.Basically I fucked up and drove into the prison complex and wound up stuck at the detached building. Some friendly bandit entities spawned and I took them with me to try and clear out at least a path out but they all ate shit and died, leading to me hiding out in the detached building again before trying to cut my way out and then like I said giving up and hoofing it. There was a full trailer (600 weight) and humvee (400 weight) full of guns, ammo, tools and other supplies I left behind.After I restock, recoup and recover at my base I'll probably go back for it. Maybe start cutting towards where I left off. Or maybe just bring a fuckton of ammo and a tank to the prison yard and go to town, idk yet.
Jesus this gives me the same feeling as minecraft does. It feels like something that has always existed.

>>3089315>Louisville checkpoint was set up to stop people from leaving LouisvilleLmao what the fuck are you smoking?The infection starts near Rosewood, where the army base is. Spreading upwards TOWARDS Louisville. The undead spread into Louisville when they break the fences at the refugee camp due to gunfire being in there.The world does not start getting infected until the virus becomes airborne shortly after the refugee camp incident.
>>3091009thats not what the radio or tv says though nigger. its also not reflected in the ingame zombie pops where except for the secret rosewood base itself, rosewood has the lowest zombie pop of all the urban zones, as opposed to lv which has the highest
>>3091035>thats not what the radio or tv says though niggerYes it does lmao, are you retarded?Zombies broke INTO the camp, they didn't break OUT of the camp.You can see Jackie Jaye's radio shack.Zombies spread northward towards Louisville, not down southward to Muldraugh.
>>3091035Do not engage yuroslime for debates.
>>3091043o yeah, i guess this is his new schtick now after he got tired of complaining about spoons
So we're at the point where we're just pretending to be retarded in regards to the lore? We're that bored? You can check it pretty quickly on the wiki.
>>3091051Correct. Probably because people started filtering the usual topics.
>>3087613B-But the game doesn't need objectives!
>>3087613>How do I stop doing this?Force yourself to go to other towns, or even deny usage of cars to walk to other places instead.There's really no other way to keep interest with the game because the entire foundations are backwards and upside down.It's a zombie game that punishes you for interacting with the zombies. Okay so you fuck off away from the zombies.But now it's a zombie game without zombies, sort of defeats the point, doesn't it?
>>3091043>>3091061I mean, not him, but you can read the tv/radio stuff in the wiki if you really care. He's right, well I don't think it necessarily starts at the secret facility though it is a strong contender, but the checkpoint was built for the exclusion zone which is well, everything not lousville iirc.
>>3091150The original chemical spill takes place between the secret lab and March Ridge. So it starts somewhere down there even if it's not the lab.

They should switch from this Zombie Realism virus stuff to a more Light Magic setting like Vampire the Masquerade with some sci elements.
>>3091567They don't have to go full fantastical-mode, a nice balance between the two is fine.The issue is they go for realism when it works to the detriment of the game>Player can be infected by the zombiesWhy?>Because zombies infect people, that's realisticBut nobody enjoys that, everyone mods it out or uses existing sandbox settings to alter how it works>But it's realistic!BUT IT'S FUCKING SHIT!>REEEEE ITS FUCKING REALISTIC YOU FUCKING CHUDS
>>3091577I would like to see portals appearing with more zombies coming from some hell dimension or something maybe with other stuff like feral humans possessed to kill
>>3091373Ok
>>3089526TIS is so fucking retarded for making us click one item at the time for fuel.
Are the silent hill, cry of fear & The Mutants monsters good or jank?
>>3091940Mutants are cool and feel pretty vanilla adjacent, dunno about silent hill, cry of fear monsters are shit. Fun but shit and jank.
>>3090445If you're changing only one setting there's a problem, change the erosion or maybe even time to match too.
How far out are we from porting basically everything from CDDA into Zomboid, like evolving zombie variants, cybernetics, mutants, custom vehicle building, and dynamic maps?
>>3092180Very far, aislop modders only want a pretty picture
>>3089929it's in the viewpoint graphics settings
>>3091934I cant believe no one made a mod akin to all the drying racks UI mods where you can just choose to put X of shit as a fuel and light it up.
>>3091934You click the fireplace, 'destroy for fuel' and select all X item?You can shove the fireplace's cap of logs in a minute or two
>>3092833>>3092833Vanilla has a setting to uncap the amount of shit you can put in. And its fucking anoying to have to scroll through the list of everything flamable in your inventory to get to the logs/large branches.There should be a drag and drop UI OR some mechanics to "favourite" certain stuff as fuel for campfire.Ignition is even worse, scrolling through every combination of tinder/light is hell.
>>3092841How much flammable shit are you carrying around at all times?
>>3092847A lot. How many medical supplies can be used as fuel? A lot. Shitload of materials too. Hell even tools can be burned.And its only worse when it comes to "light the fire" option where just having five books and three lighters/firestarters/matchbooks create a long fucking list that cant even be scrolled fast because its not a menu with a scroll bar.
>>3091567>>3091602>make the game funLemmy would never
>>3092857>How many medical supplies can be used as fuelBandages and fuck all else?Are you trying to throw painkillers into the fireplace?
>>3092879bandages, tounge depresors, cotton balls, all rags, depening on mods you have other shit too.Now add to that materials, tools, books etc and the list is unwieldy as fuck.Its just a bad system, deal with it.
>>3092025Does that actually make the world look a bit more like the beginning of the apocalypse was pretty chaotic?
>>3092857Maybe put all the shit in containers, it's a minor inconvinience at worst, if you really want to be an asshole carrying 20 books everywhere you go then just favorite them so they become not usable for fuel.
>>3092893I carry every medical item in vanilla and I don't have any issues with the fireplace fuel system.
>>3093099Do people not put their bags and satchel down at home? I wear a fannypack with a spork n lighter at most. Anons problem would still exist for containers near the fireplace though. Maybe someone should whip up a vibecoded unique UI for woodburning? Make sure its obtuse like the drying rack one
>>3093225the fuckI carry cigarettes, lighters, a hacksaw, a needle, bandages, meds, tweezers, a screwdriver, a hammer all in my fannypack or cheatmod equivalent backpack
>>3093231My fanny has:>multicolored pen>penlight>lighter>spork>multitool>adhesive bandageshacksaw hammer crowbar etc. go on my passenger seat satchel penlight is much nicer for a quick indoor light than the flashlightspork is because im not brown
I have vaulting enabled but I can't do it in Viewpoint like I could before. Is the physics mod part of what lets you vault on anything? I dropped that shit cause it moved all my floor items around.
I managed to find a phone with a simple gps system and thus managed to get my bearings now.It seems like i missed a Bunker near the mil surplus store by a hair so once the meat is dried im can pack my shit, retrace my steps to near the burned farm i almost got killed and just continue West until i get to the bunker.And then hopefully loot the milsurplus store without much problem.And then we will think.
you know exactly what happened here.
Coming back after a long hiatus due to seeing the game in 1st person on YouTube. What difficulty yall usually go for these days? I'm using the Extinction rules, but tweaked with normal zombie population, to spare my shitbox while using Viewpoint, and normal strength so maybe they won't melt doors and stuff instantly.
>>3093521i normally play apocalypse and stuck with that for viewpoint. it takes time to get used to everything again. Once you learn, the combat is much easier than isometric, and all guns pretty much 1 shot headshot now. So higher difficulties will feel more natural imo.
>>3093525Haven't found any guns yet, but that makes sense. Figure I'd git gud a little bit before maybe finding a bandit mod to throw in the mix and keep me on my toes
>>3093521custom always.fuck trying to be a try hard, i play PZ for comfyness not ""challenge""
With all these AI mods coming out how come there isn't any good sex mods that isn't just fucking zombies?
>>3093585Zomborut works with both Bandits/True Companions and ALife, the fuck you want more?
>>3093588I heard the animations really fucking suck. Also I want it for PLAYERS, PLAYER ON PLAYER!
any viewpoint servers up?
>>3093525These 1st person mods honestly sound and look gay as fuck. Just play L4D
Took a little stroll around my shack and bagged another sucker. God bless the silence of the bow.Tommorows a big day, we pack and starting to move back towards the Bunker.
>>3094019>we pack and starting to move>Silent Hill siren and crowsOr we dont.. Fucking dejavu..
>>3086453Why do midwits constantly post this video? Gabe is at best partially correct here - it all depends what players want, what game you talking about and bajillion other factors.
>>3094037>>3094019So i used this unplanned stop to organize my equipment a bit, carved out arrows and quiver.And of course sew myslef a most important item ever - a Teddy Bear.

i walked away for 5 minutes with the engine on and come back to this... thing

So is Project Viewpoint and its submods safe to download?
>>3093817L4D is a survival game that lets you build a base and all that? When did they add that?
>>3095530no, its mining cripto on my computer right now :(
>>3095533fags will unironically be like>oh you like zomboid but want 1st or 3rd person?>then play grounded or stalker
>>3095555Unironically just play Gamma
>>3095614Why not subnautica if we're still naming games that have exactly nothing to do with the zombie genre?
What have the zomboid devs been doing for the past 10 years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k7exd27g7o
>>3094179>Why do midwits constantly post this video?Because it's correct>Gabe is at best partially correct here He's entirely correct, realism should only be used so far in a game to enhance fun, not to diminish it.Zombies being able to be pushed over is realistic and fun. Zombies splattering you with blood when hit, infecting you is realistic and not fun. Notice they didn't put that second part in?There's a bunch of 'realistic' bullshit ingame that isn't fun, and it should be removed and tweaked.
Zomboid insider here. Here is the next big updates for build 43. Expanding primitive metallurgy, detailed stone/clay crafting trees, custom shelter structures, and survival options for total wilderness playthroughs.Optimizing low-level background processing for dynamic hordes,NPC faction, world events and multi-dimensional world loading, and subterranean level processing outside the player's immediate loading area. Dynamic NPCs and Base Management. They had working static NPC for a while but wanted to make them dynamic. Faction Relations update is also being worked on. World Events. Broader integration of faction-led patrols, territorial control, and dynamic responses to local threat escalations.Medical & Infection reworked. Mechanical & Item Fault Expansion: Fine-tuning item-specific wear and tear, fluid contamination, and engine/part breakdowns across vehicles
>>3096192>multi-dimensional world loadingwat
>>3096203It's for the skyscrapers they are gonna add more
>>3096212What the fuck does it mean?
>>3096216It means its simulating the actual zombies inside buildings now instead of them appearing from thin air like they do once you open a door
>>3096219>It means its simulating the actual zombies inside buildings now instead of them appearing from thin air like they do once you open a doorThere's been a mod that does that for over a year now.

Either make charcoal take about three ingame hours (and limited amount made in that timeframe) or make leather instant to make.

>>3098374Arma/DayZ/Tarkov
>>3097984This doesn't seem even remotely like what I was asking for desu, unless some popular mod with the same name is drowning out results for the one you're talking about.What I'm looking for is some sort of mini treasure hunt perhaps with multiple destinations that I have to visit, some predetermined and some randomized or whatever, that leads up to a cure being researched or some other event happening that's considered a 'win' for either me or humanity at large and gives me something more to work towards than just "don't die".
>>3098374You can toggle it off
>>3098600There is no mod like this unfortunately.Best you can do is to RP with ZRE Vaccine and Wolf Extraction Quest.
>>3097032hello hellooo ding ding ding (ringing hotel bell) heloo niggerrr im asking you something I asked a question >>3097162
Trying a wilderness run with extremely loot, but I'm struggling. Mostly because I put the temperature on very cold and had things start in mid October, so it's -6C outdoors. I'm trying to get rid of this cold and forage up what I need for knapping and getting a knife for basic crafting but it's slow going. I don't even know what I'll do about food, that's on the horizon and I've really no safe area to rest up a bit.
>>3098801Managed to secure a temp bed while I try to get rid of this cold, but I don't know what I can do. Still no food and I don't have a plan for it right now. Hmmm.
>desert conversion>12 months later>instant shutoff>Mutants>A-LifeTime to game.>>3098801-6 C is high, just light a campfire...
>>3098808>>3098896The real problem right now is food, that's preventing me from healing my cold and getting out of this moodle death spiral I'm in. I want to ransack a nearby farm patch for some crops, but this sneezing is luring a ton of zombies over and I've already killed several dozen just to have some breathing room.
>>3097032what's the grass mod?
>Viewpoint>finally get a gun>mfw right clicking to ADS brings up the context menuSo uh, do I just have to rebind ADS to something else?
>>3097032If i ever migrate to Viewpoint ( unlikely given i have like 500 mods so compatibility would be a nightmare ) i will never play in fps but over the shoulder camera looks promising.
>>3072622Redpill me on basements. Hiding in a basement sounds really cool, but I hear there are some big issues with them. Are there any mods that let me dig my own basements, and are they decent or jank as fuck?
>>3099480>Redpill me on basementsNothing to redpill you on. Basements suck ass.Only one way in usually, which is a death sentence if a horde shambles in.Pitch black unless you have a generator, even with cats eyes, so that sucks too.
>>3099435everything has a combability patch now.
>>3099489Any idea if there's a mod that will let me dig out my own base and install skylights or something over it?
>>3099501>>3099480Plysken has a basement mod iirc. No idea how jank it is.
i've probably modded my zomboid so much that there is very little lemmy code left.
>>3099480Oh right, basements are also random, not only in terms of what sort of basement it's going to be, but also if a house even HAS a fucking basement in the first place.Which makes them even more useless because outside of a handful pre-placed ones, most of the time you will get the 'unfinished basement in construction' selection or 'single toolbox' basement.I still have never found the hunter's basement, ever.
I really just wish the devs would spend as long as they need refactoring the fucking spaghetti code of this game.I'm fine with the game we have now, if it means pushing back big updates for a while to fix the absolute fucking state of things then for the love of fuck just do it. The amount of time you save not having to bushwhack through a poorly maintained legacy code base will probably be faster than just trying to brute force updates through the mess anyway.
>want to start a wilderness run on Lost to Nature map>if i set loot to anything that isnt 'none" it always ends up annoying me that i skipped few steps in crafting and tech tree and its not "true" wilderness run>if i set loot to "none" it only serves to bore me because there is literally no point in exploring the islandFucking pain
>>3099638the base game without mods is all spaghetti code

>>3100291I mean food and water is a non issue if you just cut some grass and install a couple troughs500 grass cuttings will be enough for a lifetime and rainwater will collect in them
>>3100270Is it really "innawoods" if you're having to survive off manmade tins?
>>3100281Just put a gew troughs, it rains so often they will always have water, your main livestock issues are bugs>>3100305and just leave them at the farm instead of trying to force a cow to live in your parking lot base
>>3100093>What youre asking is to take it off Java and they should100% agree.
>>3100310I just set loot to 0.05 so finding anything is a huge pain in the assI just found a welder's mask after almost a year into the run and still don't have a welding torch
>>3100310You literally can't do a real innawoods playthrough of PZ.
>isolated Isle/Restless Water/Lost Province make all ( almost ) natural water a seawater that cant be desalinated or purified in any wayShame, i wish it was an option to turn off, those maps are fun.
So wilderness chads, for a first timer who wants to do 90% or full wilderness survival, what occupation(s) and perks etc are auto picks or good to have and which negatives should be avoided?
>>3100377Remind me why, I thought that it was because making nails required nails, but I feel like that's not true now
>>3100440Outdoorsman, Herbalist are a must.Conspicious is a good negative trait because it actually draws the zombies to you so you wont get jumped from behind the tree.Any negative traits when it comes to driving are free points.Rest probably depends on you.>>3100447Vanilla has multiple bottlenecks/outright stops that cant be overcome without modern items.You needs mods for full Innawoods/Wilderness.
>>3100447No fire, lmao.
>>3100455>Vanilla has multiple bottlenecks/outright stops that cant be overcome without modern items.Be specific
>>3100463You cant light a fire under a kiln without modern lighter.Iron Ore doesnt spawn.None of the "primitive" water containers can be purified in a campfire.To name the few.
>>3100463>>3100471>None of the "primitive" water containers can be purified in a campfire.That arguably is the small problem because you can easily drink from rivers/lakes in vanilla but its still annoying if you plan on living in the woods.
>>3100463you will need to make a crucible to start blacksmithingto do so you will need a pottery wheel and to fire the crucicle in a kilnthis requires 4 nails and a lighter/matches/candle/etc...these are the only mandatory things you have to somehow forage or findalso trapping is impossible if you don't start with knowledge
>>3100455>You needs mods for full Innawoods/Wilderness.Got links for those specific mods if you don't mind?
>>3100544Anything you get when you type in Homemade/Bottleneck in the workshop will be fine probably.
metalworkies, why is our skill so cucked? It requires 2 sources of fuel, welding rods & propane. Many things are gatekept behind scrap metal, which for some reason is the hardest metal to salvage in bulk, you can have 1000 tons of various pieces of metal including one called "steel scraps" but can't build without the scrap. at least iron pipes are found in bulk by dismantling every bathroom. no good furniture...
>>3100551Can't find one for lighters, I'm probably missing something else I'm not thinking of too. I am once again asking for a link please.
ARRRRR MATEYS!! We be looking for dubloons ere, ARRR!>>3100618>>3100618>Can't find one for lighters,You mean Kiln without a Lighter? Better Kiln - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3660800829 it doesnt show this but you need to place a lit fireplace near the Kiln and then you can make shit.You mean shit to start a fire? Flint Firestarter https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3803471145
why did they add a bunch of innawoods stuff if you can't do a proper no civilization innawoods run?
>>3100704the nails and lighter requirements are most likely oversights
>>3100651Thanks.
>>3100739Be aware - making charcoal still requires some form of "lighter" be that matches, lighter per se or even that Flint Firestarter.Or i have some mod that changes it lol.
>>3100704The question>why did they addcan apply to anything in the game and the answer is "The game is unfinished", old stuff is unfinished, new stuff is unfinished and gamebreaking old bugs are still there.
>>3100753>>3100704>>3100706Someone really needs to rein them in a bit and make them start covering these stupid little holes instead of adding shit or doing some bullshit bugfixes.
Dinosaurs mod, yea or nah?
>>3100706Every skilltree in the game is full of this, and items with no use yet
>>3100913even getting Clean water is janky with clay pots.
progress on my innawoods run
>>3101451Very cozy!
>>3100471>None of the "primitive" water containers can be purified in a campfire.This is especially annoying because the entire purpose of water containers that aren't huge buckets, is to be used to purify water. Why the fuck isn't the amphora upgradable by shoving a fireplace under it?
>>3101451Problem is those giant walls are almost completely cosmetic. Wow the one zombie who wandered in who couldn't even break a boarded up window, gotta have 50 log walls just in caseThey really need to work on the zombie aspect of their zombie game otherwise all these survival mechanics are pointless. The innawoods life is basically always a choice of boredom. If you wanted you could live in the middle of LV with little issue but being able to get everything from looting would be le boring
>>3101791>Devs keep trying to make the game harder>Each time they do this, it just forces people further and further from the zombies to not die>Turning the zombie game into a not-zombie gameIt's baffling, I've never seen a game that goes out of it's way this much to not interact with the fucking title of the game itself. If Skyrim made dragons do 1 hit kills, and being near a dead dragon kills you, and there's about 50 dragons circling overhead at all times, players would probably not try fighting the dragons and might just stay in caves.
>>3101451Where on the map is this?
>>3101791I'm at the point where I need something like the helicopter that isn't the helicopter. I'm pretty sure there's already mods for mass horde migration. Having that blow through every 2 weeks would be interesting even on normal apocalypse settings.

What's the point of Glassmaking, Masonry, Carving, and Pottery?So you can make useless junk and waste resources on stuff that does nothing?
>>3101599Im especially sour about leather water bag not being able to purify it ( at least i would if i didnt have the mod to fix it ) - perfect for a primitive run and wasted by dev retardation.>>3102743https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3658945335I have no idea whats the difference between two and apparently 100y Later : Sandstorm uses both at the same time as prereq..
>>3103087>GlassmakingNo point, ignore it>MasonryActually sort of important if you want to build certain crafting stuff, but it's basically just a roadblock skill, nothing 'fun' revolves around it>CarvingA lot more useful than masonry, needed to make a bunch of weapons and can be fun to mass produce baseball bats>PotterySimilar to masonry, it's a roadblock skill that only exists to prevent the usage of other skills until you gain enough pottery to make certain items. In this case, pottery exists to prevent usage of blacksmithing.>>3103090I don't think you'd want to put a leather bag over a fire.
>>3103094>I don't think you'd want to put a leather bag over a fire.Then stop making water from a river a fucking poison.
>>3103137In real life you can acclimatize yourself to shit-tier water and survive off of it.On one of those survivor-type shows, one of the contestants spent the previous months getting himself basically immune to most germs you find in water. Everyone else was shitting themselves from drinking water meanwhile he didn't have any ill effects at all. I mean how do you think favela monkeys and literal niggers survive drinking 'chocolate water'?
>>3103147Yeah but nothing like this happens in PZ.So either let us sterilize leather bag over the fire or dont introduce pointless shit like this.

>>3100651What mod do you use for adding iron ore, do you use thishttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3782479415or something else?Also what about clothing, do you just loot it all from zombies and hope for the best that you get the right things?
>>3099638Yes. They choose not to revisit old content because they are stupid and lazy. Imagine if they spent a single week adding items to glassmaking/pottery. Though I'm sure a mod fixed it so they just forgot.
>>3103574https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3644876931i use this.>clothingI rip everything from zombies and make improvised briefs, bras and shit.

I just installed like 30 mods for wilderness survival recipes and shit, and now the game won't launch and this is all the info I can figure out. How do I tell which mod is fucked and needs removing?

i thought the dog companion mod is a cool idea, but it stresses me the fuck out, in the first two days of taming her she got a laceration on her paw that got infected and now she has a fever and on top of that she broke her fucking leg.
>>3105576I fed my cat an orange and it got wormsthankfully any animal not actively following you has frozen needs, so he sits at base purring I personally put spawns down to 0.75 but i still feel dogs are too common. And a bit weird they just quietly walk around waiting for you to feed rather than making a fuss. Hopefully that's worked on
>>3105576having a pet in the apocalypse would be aidsmodern dogs and cats dont know how to hunt, they just eat hot chip
what is with the -hunger infinite foodstuffs (flour butter etc.) after they have been depletedAnd if your Propane Torch runs out of fuel entirely to be changed to (empty) status it is no longer recognised by the craft system to refill it
>>3106169the -4 lard is also not able to be taken out my cupboard
>>3106169>>3106177It's a bug, same happens with citrus applied to fruit salads too. I've reported it as the citrus thing, but I didn't know it happened elsewhere too. You should also report it.You can transfer the negative glitched goods between (non-worn) containers. It's a good way to get them into a garbage can. I, for one, though, am fond of my Negalemons.
>>3106202I would but upon googling these are wellknown and quite old. The welding torch one potentially a resurfaced bug upon updates. Funny you mention, I moved a garbage can over and was able to move and delete my lard that way
>>3106202In terms of being fond - I assumed from the -red number they were actually detrimental? Not an issue for your seasoning lemon, but for butter I was wondering if it deducted cals from the meal over adding. I never bothered to test, maybe with my next negabutter I will.
>>3106240Red Hunger numbers means it will drain calories out of you lmao.
>>3106240Yes do not eat negafood. You will starve. It's fine for Negalemons though since it's just a (conveniently now infinite) seasoning.
>>3106243Exactly kek and butter is hefty in meals
>negabutter enables precise weight control without needing heavy workoutsinsane
>>3106257Oh shit I never thought about that, I've just been throwing my Negabutter out...FUCK. SHIT. ALL THAT LOST POTENTIAL. NEGABUTTER WHY HAVE I FORSAKEN THEE.
Negabutter would be pretty horrifying to watch in real life. You see some person gulp down a stick and they start turning into a husk.

>>3109906nope, they made sure you couldn't just do thatthe leather you pick up is furred, and cannot be unfurred because it's already tanned and driedit can only be used in tailoring recipeshowever they made it really easy to get the leather you need by adding the rosewood leather factory
>>3109937those assholes
>>3109335Dry that shit ASAP. Cornmeal is goated.
>>3108650Hot insulation is a big one for me. Absurd that shit still isn't in the game, I hate running around fucking naked once Summer hits.
I hate wearing desert camo attire and a jacket and my character is overheating while it's fucking 20 degrees C outside.I don't think developers understand that things get 'hot' at 30, not fucking 20.I can surprisingly comfortably roam around in an NBC suit and gas mask IRL at 20C.
You just cant wear your leather jacket and fedora in summer nerds, use denim handwraps and tailor patches if you want defense or carry a water bottle
>>3111004Objectively you want bone-reinforced gloves, best hand defence in the game.Elbow-pads are also excellent arm armor for minimal costs.Bone choker to be immune to neck injuries. That's most of your defence needs met for minimal heat/discomfort.
>>3110985>I don't think developers understand that things get 'hot' at 30, not fucking 20.Bro most outdoors heavy laborers consider "hot" to be around the 40+ range. Anything 35 and below is an easy day in full PPE. Over that you just make sure you have a steady source of cold water and the day's easy up to 50+.I think heat should be much, much more slowly progressive in Zomboid. I honestly don't even think it should be a consideration most of the time: In high heat you should consume more water, low heat more calories. Only when you run out of either should it start being a problem.
>>3109163how long before we can play Doom on the computer mod
>>3111052>Bro most outdoors heavy laborers consider "hot" to be around the 40+ rangeReferring more to the average person, not those acclimatized to temperatures.
>>3111057Most Occupations in zomboid would be acclimatized to working in unpleasant temperatures.
>>3110985When it gets up to 20 I might take my jumper off.
>>3111064All the more reason our characters shouldn't be raging faggots and complain about heat when wearing more than a shirt and pants.
>>3111074>All the more reason our characters shouldn't be raging faggots and complain about heat when wearing more than a shirt and pants.Absolutely agreed. Temperature management is a huge pain point in the game. At the very least, a trait that grants characters more ability to ignore temperature would be a nice half solution. If you're not going to fix it, at least let me pay to ignore it.
>>3111077Adding temperature tolerances to professions could be neat, even if it'd make a lot of classes even more overpowered than they already are.I can only imagine the average 1993 Kentucky Lumberjack was functionally immune to temperatures.
>>3111084>I can only imagine the average 1993 Kentucky Lumberjack was functionally immune to temperatures.It's not about being immune, you just learn how to handle it. High temperatures, easy access to running water. Low temperatures, a good pair of gloves and long johns. All things that, yes, most '93 Kentuckian laborers would know.
What do we think of 7 days to die here?
>>3111120Meh. It's a'ight.
>>3111120From what I recall, the developers were similar to Zomboid devs in the way that every time a player had fun, they went out of their way to spitefully nerf it into the ground.
>>3111077>Temperature management is a huge pain point in the game.How when water is a nonissue? Just take a 2ler set to autodrink if you're overdressed. thirst doesnt affect your combat prowess outside health regen (useless) so you dont even need to clear the moodle immediately, every sink has 20l and tub 100l after water shutoff, they are everywhere so i dont bring water
>>3111125High heat causes fatigue gain. Being overheated literally tires your character out, water or not.
>>3111125Exhaustion is a bigger deal than water, anon.
>Rebalance clothing to make heat more realistic instead of gamey bullshit>Clothing armor values rebalanced, armor now works differently vs blunt/blade/zombie attacks, zombie attacks much easier to defend against compared to being hit by an axe or swordCongrats, fixed a considerable amount of the game's problems with a day's worth of coding. TIS hire me so I can sit on my ass for mental health vacations now.
>>3111120>development stuck in a directionless loop for years>1.0 just to jack up the price and sell to console, game still absurdly broken>removed content just to sell it back as DLCsThis is basically a glimpse to TIS future.
>>3111120It runs like shit for some reason despite having a moderately up to date rigI hate that the building blocks are all squareMore tedious and clunky than zomboid for some reasonAll in all. Viewport will kill it in 6 months at most.
>>3111120>need to read 1000 magazines to level skills>zombies materialize out of thin air>gun animations are jank>no real survival mechanics>have to drink smoothies to survive in new biome>new biome drains your health and that is it>pointless storms that drain health>took jars away then brought them back in endless loopThe devs are shit. Worse than lemmy.
>>3111210>have to drink smoothies to survive in new biomewat
>>3111120The first few days of exploring and looting is pretty neat but then the survival crafting shit kick in in full and it just sucks to play. The game's gimmick with the weekly base assault is not for me.
>>3111216Like I said the devs are retarded
>>3111228I can't take games seriously when they add mechanics that are so fucking childish.

>>3113858Go to the little outcrop on the right side. The river will be on your left and block most of your access without taking the scenic route. That will stop you from being tempted to go to the city.

>>3114496>is it true that players are really good at pointing out the problems, but very bad at solving them?Yes, especially in something as difficult and demanding as games development. It's an extremely high-skill field, and laymen simply don't get how certain solutions range between completely unreasonable to implement and literally impossible to integrate into the available legacy systems.The customer is always right in matters of taste, but knows nothing about operations.

>>3117871spears suck in generaleven the best spear has half the durability of a baseball bat (can reinforced)
>>3117901Yes thats why SPEAR was and is the most deadly, popular weapon in warfare to the point the concept of spear is translated even into firearms and missiles.>>3117908Spear is infinetly easier to make and replace.
>>3117913Spears rely on a pretty stupid mechanic. Spears hit like a freight train with crits, so at low skill levels they can instakill surprisingly often.But baseball bats have a huge crit rate and enough outright damage/critmultiplier to one hit KO at decent skills anyways.
>>3117913nopeat carving 9 you only need a large branch to make a baseball batat masonry 8 you only need a stone and a branch to make a stone mace
>>3117967large branches pretty much require you chop trees and they're kinda rare.
>>3118105>Large branches are rareIts really really easy to chop trees, zombies often have hatchets stuck in them
>>3118142i swear all my seeds hatchets are the rarest items in the game. I prefer to make stuff out of tree branches cause cutting bushes is so fast too.

You know what? Im done. AI modding is unholy and needs to be banned
How do you actually get into using guns in this game? Every play through I never get to touch one before dying.
>>3118497Set weapon and ammo spawn to abundant, set item respawn to instant, grab several cartons of 5.56 and an m16.
>>3118497I felt the same as you until I learned. Now guns are good shotguns are the loud boys that bring multiple blocks of zeds to you. You only fire a shotgun if you plan on a big killspree. This is GOOD - you get every zombie in a big radius converging on one location. You could manipulate the entire town this way honestly, and not even kill, just lead them out the city. But I usually go ham after firing a shotty in the street and kill zeds until I have to retreat. So always have an escape plan when you fire. Zeds have shitty memory so you can just turn a couple blocks and be back at city base. During the fight I will switch between guns & melee. Ingame yesterday I did this and killed 350 zombies before exhaustion, I had to retreat, but now that horde is on the east side of town and the area I first fired the shotty is clear, ready to loot tomorrow. You see? Speaking of, guns dont have a drawback for using them past Level 1 DrowsinessPistols are quiet. I use one with a flashlight when clearing buildings after power goes out. Being close means every hit will increase the Aiming skill, which shotguns are good at too btwTypically I will wait until I have stockpiled ammo and go on a street killing spree to thin cities & level Aiming. I always take a pistol with me. Revolvers are cool too. >>3118543Guns are really abundant on default Apocalypse, this changed with b42 stable. Ammo seems rarer but IMO its distribution thats fucked. I have picked up 800 rounds of 12 gauge but barely any rifle ammo, the police station alone had dupes of every gun, but not enough ammo
>>3117867Spears (and all stabbing weapons for that matter) work because all the energy of your thrust get concentrated into a single point.With a fork, you have 3 points contending for that force, the instant you hit, you'll start getting a lot more resistance from all points and the stab will be a lot less effective.If the amount of points didn't count, we'd be fighting with combs.
>>3118497you have to know where the gun stores are. Leveling guns is painful in iso but really fun in viewpoint.
>>3118486AI modding will kill the modern publisher corpo sloppa DLC hypetrain updoot bullshitand something better will grow in it's place. like a sapling that pushes through the ash of a forest fire.
>>3111120shape variety belongs in a better game.

>>3119935You could get a shitrat lapdog to warn you of suckerpunch zeds in a zone that's already been cleared.
>>3119754Crops require barely any maintenance. Any character should plant a few seeds if you gottem.Watering. You do this once. It rains way too much and plants go days without water. You cant overwater. Diseases/pests: never seen them apart from mildew. You make that with a bottle of milkThats about it. Agriculture was disappointing to me. I expected a more i depth system when i saw realistic growth times. Its very basic but very yeilding once crops give. I did set to 2x rate and my freezers are overflowing. Maybe 1.5x next
on that note, let's talk cows. I read a lot about people becoming milkie slutties when they got cows cause they "need" milking every day. I have left a cow for weeks bursting and its been perfectly fine. So i dont know. It is a Sim cow, not a holstein, those are multiplayer milkie cows so I dont use them
>>3119775Turnips have longer growth months past the summer and are -18 hunger per use in a stew, so some utility there. Dont fuck with radishes. Absolute waste of time only good for compost
>>3119944the beef with crops isn't that they're bad, it's that they give next to no calories so trying to live on them you inevitably wind up starving and losing weight.you can supplement with fish, except then farming is pointless, because nutrition is a gimmick, not real, and you don't need crops to survive. you just need the calories to avoid starving to death. crops are actually useful for losing weight while avoiding the hunger moodle, but so are eggs, which are even easier to acquire one you have a couple birds.like everything it's totally unpolished, haphazardly implemented, and no one gives a damn because this is a decorating and zombie-slaying game, not Stardew Valley. i pity the fools who play it like it's a farming sim.

>>3120416there should be lots of Big Trucks. Every car I see is a big truck
>>3120416there's a fucking sandbox option for that, which you would know, if you ever bothered to tailor this game to be less annoying.there should probably be a tutorial for the sandbox so people can figure out how much power over the game they have.

>>3119796>Are stone axes dead? I love axpert but I hate relying on firestation towns. Stone axes used to be super easy to farm and had an infinite supply loop once you had a stone hammer.No they've just been replaced with the Masonry variant rather than the knapped flint shards.Also, Bone Jaw axes are the new way to go for primitive tech.

I think I fucked up. I have too many mods active and now my game softlocks every 3 minutes. I don't know which mod is even causing this.
>>3121143damn she has the exact same hairstyle as Jinx
>>3121151do you have red mods?do you have slop mods?remove both first.if it persists, do binary elimination, disable half your mods, if it persists you know it's in your active mods, repeat as necessary etc.
I finally caved and got zombiebuddy for staircast. What are other must have mods that rely on Zombiebuddy?
>>3121095Show us the zombiefied body
>>3121203Peek a ViewHalflingsI can Sit There
>>3120502Its a great mod, stiching minigame is just a cherry on top. After all how often you get a deep wound in normal runs?It makes the water from natural source actually tainted, it adds consequences for constant stress, it allows you to simply wait out a cold even outdoors rather than having to magically heal by going indoors, it makes infections actually dangerous etc.
>>3119796All mineral deposits (limestone, flint) have been reduced by like 90% in quantity. Making axes far less viable. What few axes you make, use to cut down trees to grind carving to make bats. Blunt weapons>Sharp weapons until the sharpness mechanic is re-done (never will be)Meaning that for the foreseeable future the only weapons worth being used are long blade (due to bullshit weeaboo-tier stat balancing) and blunt weapons.
>>3121316Don't worry, they'll fix it by reducing the amount of wood you get from trees.
>>3121443It already kind of sucks. Introducing sub resources like branches, saplings and large branches is such a dick move. Just use logs and let us build from planks like we used to do.The worst part is that even though large branches seem as rare as saplings, baseball bats are way more material efficient than a spear will ever be.
>>3121487>Introducing sub resources like branches, saplings and large branches is such a dick move.Oh god i fucking hate that one...Seven fucking different item representing the same fucking thing but somehow never interchangable and there are no mods to fix it apart from few obscure mods that allow you to turn saplings into tree branches or make long sticks from planks.
Rec me some good npc mods anon. I don't want bandits but I wouldn't mind running into friendly npcs that do their own thing. Low lethality if possible, I hate getting shot in the throat by a guy that's friendly 1 second and hostile after another.

I don't really mind AI sloppa mod, but it's the page description that boils my blood.You are fruits. A faggot. Has always been. Discover. Your true calling.Who the fuck writes like that?
>>3108941Whats the point of that mod?Map is way too small for a plane, even driving a fast car makes the game choppy as fuck..Can you like use this to fly to other maps even in a very gamey "it saves your current character so you can load him with his stuff on another map" sense?
>>3121761Ai talks like that
>>3121095this is why I can't play isometric anymore. I was ready to let this game go completely and then viewpoint released.
>>3121761redditor slam poetry. they've been doing it for a while. It's a really poor attempt at actual dramatic writing.
>>3121487>Logs are bigger than saplings>But no matter your carving skill or carpentry you cannot turn a log into a sapling, or into a spear for that matterImagine giving a caveman an entire fucking log to work with and somehow that makes spear making impossible.
>>3121284nyo it was just a scratch and didnt get infected trust
>>3121854Nigga, it's a mod. I don't need dramatic writing. I need something descriptive. Now I need another AI to translate this sludge whenever I tried to read a mod page.

LEMMY IS LITERALLY LE POACHING MODS AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>3122348Doomers won though? TIS had a solid decade to add ladders and they added it AFTER B42 of all builds launched into unstable.Ladders should've been in the game before cars, that's how fucking backwards this stupid dev team is.
>>3122348Thank fuck im Offline mode..
>Sleep: Characters will now be unable to sleep if a Bad Smell moodle is present.It's actually nice they're removing 'press X to die' mechanics. They'd only be tolerable in a game where you can save and load.
Pushing: Characters can now push while both hands are full of encumbering items, though doing so means dropping items that would otherwise prevent them from pushing.Sleep: Characters will now be unable to sleep if a Bad Smell moodle is present.Ammo Boxes: You can now open ammo boxes while walking, as many of you have requested!Animal Fixes: Addressed several issues causing untimely animal deaths, including animals dying when their cell unloads, rabbit kits starving because their mothers weren’t producing milk, and chickens disappearing from full hutches.
>>3122377As good as this is, I don't really give a fuck about it. Its already addressed by mods after all.I'd rather they just keep it in unstable so my mods dont get fucked.
>>3122392Same. Worst part about offline moding is no workshop for a while.
>>3122392Shit that should be in the game, which is only found in mods, should be moved into the actual game.
>>3122405I mean its nice that they reduce number of qol mods you need but still its not worth to update if you have already stable mods and game.
>>3122410I play vanilla, so that's not really an issue for me.
>Crit multipliers and rates are completely hidden from the player>Only accessible using the wiki or diving into the code>Weapons that look superior to others, might in fact be complete and utter dogshit because of a combination of low crit rate or multiplierThanks Lemmy.
>>3122348How many years did this take?
>>3122348>nothing about god awful vehicle and inventory/interaction desync above 200ms2 seconds of delay should be 2 seconds, not 10 seconds to a minute+, or even forever because the map loader gets stuck, breaks when you rejoin, and now you can't reconnect. This all happened on a vanilla game hosted through the "host" button with one other person, I drove a chevalier dart from the storage units, to the police station in muldraugh (a very short distance) and the map loader absolutely locked up, and joining the server broke on my reconnection attempt.
>Eternal Winter>Immersive snow>Prince Edward Island collection>naked deprived castaway start with only flint firestarterYep its gaming time.
why don't they just pay the 10-50 million token cost for AI to fix all the spaghetti code and fix the zomboid engine?
>>3122353they should add zombie destruction inside houses/on walls like cdda does and dust/mold gathering up inside houses reducing visibility etc..
>>3122531>MPcucklmeow
>>3122649>MPcuckI've already got almost 2k hours in solo since b40, its boring even with mods. Now I'm doubly pissed off since B40 got removed for "security reasons" despite hardly anyone playing on it.
>>3122353>Be advised that the more times you fail in forcing a door, the higher chance you may cause some damage to your crowbar.immediately DOA and requires a fucking mod to fix it lmao
>>3122763retard
Imagine buying a crowbar and it breaks after a couple of door uses.
So I left my van on while I looted the military surplus store and when I got back to it the windows were busted out and 2 tires blew immediately. Now I'm a day away from home with no car, barely any food, and I have to recover all my shit from that van cause I had a genny in there and was about to head into louisville. God dammit.
my pry open mod takes my Strength into consideration. Will TIS? I'll probably still use my mod. It lets me do security doors too. I would be okay with the TIS way, BUT they let you break those doors with axe swings? So why not let me just pry it open if i have high strength.
>>3122353I mean, didn't Braven ack ximself?
>>3122803READ NIGGA, READ!
>>3122852What does it say?
>freezing to death despite two campfireslit up and parking my ass right in themFuck me the naked start on Cryo Winter is painful.
Isnt it a nogo to disable mods midsave or would Ladder & pry open mods be alright to do so
>>3123004Depends on what the mod does. Like map stuff, definitely not.Pry, totally safe. Ladder mods often add custom ladders that might be an issue if you're using them, but otherwise would be fine to remove mid save.
>>3122353Mods are the perfect place to poach from. They are literally the embodiment of shit the community wants so badly they are willing to put effort in to get it themselves.MORE CLOTHING OPTIONS AND FIX COOKING SO I CAN ADD GREEN PEAS AND 1-NUTRITION BEANS TO MEALS NEXT FOR FUCK SAKE.
>>3123028dis nigga eatin beans
>>3123041NO I AM NOT BECAUSE IT FUCKING DOESN'T WORK MOTHERFUCKER I AM NOT EATING A FUCKING 6 NUTRITION ROAST THAT IS THE FUCKING PROBLEMTHE PROBLEM IS THAT I AM NOT EATING BEANS
>>3123018>my ladder mod has a portable collapsible ladderits over..
>>3123097Well, just back up your save and see what happens when you disable it. Things in inventory will probably just get deleted. Not sure about placed objects.
>>3123114Im hoping the modder just turns it into a portable ladder mod cause its very useful
>>3107407>>3107591What is the second mod?
Oh right i forgot there is a chance for Alpha Volatiles to spawn... Fuck.
>>3123004Any mod that adds or removes items, tiles, vehicles, or changes the maps at all is a fuck no you can't remove it.If it's just changing gameplay, back up your save and reload without the mod and it should be fine.
Still living still farmingwatchu know bout dat? probably tons...
>>3123733cool tire castle!
>>3123735wanna come over and jump off them and eat chicken fingers?
>>3123741Since when did chickens have fingers?
>>3123756since at least the early 2000s
>>3123762>since at least the early 2000sWhat the fuck!? Was it some kind of mutation or something? Why did nobody tell me?!
>>3122348oh shit, they really are updating the game more consistently.
>>3123791Yeah it's mind blowing lmao. Especially cool to see them blasting through the missing "Core features" and basic QOL stuff it's needed for a while. Get the busiwork foundations done first before more big content updates.But also: Cats, dogs, horses, bees and beehives for honey, bicycles and skateboards WHEN.
>>3123862considering they only started seriously working on the game like 4 years ago after 10 years of nothing yeah it's good to see them do some work on the game
>>3123877>considering they only started seriously working on the game like 4 years ago after 10 years of nothing yeah it's good to see them do some work on the gameIt's not that actually.It's that only within the last few years have they hired real people to work on it. Big problem that the real engineers have to deal with the spaghetti mess from a decade of fumbling hobbyist updates. Hope everything works out.I honestly would prefer then spend a year or two doing far-reaching refactoring, rather than just trying to brute force more big content updates atop a krangled foundation.
>>3123862it's all Claude code you just fucking know it.
>>3123897Unfortunately for the AI schizos, the people who recently joined onto the Zomboid team are pretty public with how competent they are.
>>3123902the perfect crime
>>3123908>the perfect crime@grok, is this true?
If i were the manager:>Big QoL update for March. HUGE list of mods just incorporated in one update. Announcement 2 weeks prior to ready people about their saves. We are rawdogging this we don't care, this is how you died >the first Skill Overhaul in June. We take 1 skill and completely fill this out. Starting with Agriculture called the Frisky Farmer update. Cannabis farming added>The NPC update. Fully realised ai with 4d multidimensional thinking and realistic needs, desires, and ambitions>next skill overhaul idk maybe pottery
>>3123733>lower gate not centered on roadruined
>>3124044Looks like he placed it directly across from the other one.
>>3124008If I were the manager I'd just bail ship because the game has 10+ years of technical debt and it's not worth saving. It'd be 200x better to start a new isometric engine from scratch, PZ was meant to be a shitty java browser game originally. For starters, they could take the codebases they're already familiar with (Java/LUA), and migrate them to godot or something and work upp from there.
>>3124057thisKeen (Space Engineers) knew they had to start over. i will have to buy the game again eventually, they're still supporting SE1. i'd prefer they make a better game with stronger technical foundations, rather than keep stacking plates and hope it doesn't tip over.
>>3124008If I were the manager I would just livestream t he zomboid staff get locked in a room before being flooded with zyklon D.
>>3124057A major refactoring is 100% needed. 10 years of "technical debt" is surprisingly not that much when you actually decide to do the work.The effort to refactor always feels like it will be worse than the actual process. Getting it done is always easier than waiting. It's just boring work that nobody wants to do.
if java is so bad, how come most autistics dont play bedrock minecraft?
>>3124147Minceraft is well maintained.
>>3119417>>3123733I am pretty sure you should separate crops by one tile in all directions. Planting them next to each other wont let them grow.
>>3124258Nah, they'll grow, but they can spread disease easier.
>>3124258They'll grow like this>>3124266Something has to be off with crop diseases, I've only had flies twice in a whole year of farming.
>>3124044It lines up with the opposite gate and lines up with the yellow line
>>3124292>Something has to be off with crop diseases, I've only had flies twice in a whole year of farming.I think they turned diseases down a whole shitload when they 'fixed' crops outright dying 99% of the time.When B42 first launched it was pretty much impossible to harvest anything because they'd all get sick, 'cursed' and die for no reason.
>>3124317>>3124292Can confirm something has changed and diseases barely happen right now. I do short strips of crops, leaving 1 tile space between would look gay even if the disease system worked
for the love of fuck can we just remove that stupid taking off your backpack when you exercize shit already
>>3124430No, fuck you. You WILL re-equip all your shit after excercise.
>>3124430better would be if you got more xp per rep based on how encumbered you are
>We can finally refill zippo lighters with gasolineWow my complaint I made six months ago on 4chan finally is solved. Is fun watching retarded people not have any idea how zippos work, thinking they're the same as a butane lighter.
>>3124458read an article that says you can use perfume toowould give those junk Perfume items a good use... and i bet Claude could vibecode it easily.
>>3124476>read an article that says you can use perfume tooA good smells moodle opposite to bad smells would be cute. Like how full is the opposite of hunger. Maybe a happiness buff? Something to do with flowers too?
>>3124476Anything flammable that will go through a wick should work. Perfumes can be flammable so it might work, but probably smell like shit from the chemicals burning also.
>>3124481>but probably smell like shit from the chemicals burning also.Nah it's mostly just alcohol.
>>3124479sorry; moodles can only be debuffs, you are not allowed buffs or anything that could be construed as a positive. what do you think this is, a game??
>>3124615Not true, green hunger moodle is a buff!>It's also currently bugged to wear off almost instantly even if you swallow a 20 kilogram fish wholeOh wait lmao
>>3124625i wasn't even sure it was applying a buff to combat damage anymore, because of how short it is.where is my syringe of adrenaline to turn me into a beast for 30 in-game minutes?
>>3124648Maxxing out your panic should cripple your crit rate but also increase base damage.People can do some crazy stuff when they are absolutely flipping out, it's how you see a single guy overpower two police officers like it's nothing.
>>3124659maybe short bursts of speed when you're max panicked? i would run like fucking hell if i saw a zombie hoard.
>>3124697People's inhibitions are tuned down when they panic, you literally get stronger when it happens because you're not controlling yourself fully anymore.
>>3124825I was suggesting an addition, not a substitution. It should do both.
>>3124916There's the adrenaline junkie trait already in the game, although frankly it should be given to all players.
im driving 80 mph with view point and not even worried about crashes anymore.
>Bring 3 bags of salt and vinegar chips as snacks for a voyage to a farther off town.>Halfway through the fight realize all I brought to eat was fucking bags of salt and vinegar chips>Experience the unholy horror of how unpleasant eating only salt and vinegar chips for an entire day would be.>Decide to henceforth bring more than one chip flavor as road trip snacks, even though it has no baring on the effects at all.I love this game.
>>3120719what do you even need that many jawbones for?
>>3125139You can just left click to look ahead now in the regular game.
>>3125162My adventures are usually pretty amusing when I think about it.I usually bloatmax up to 85kg so I have 10 days of starving before reaching underweight.So I go around town to town, eating random berries, fruits, mushrooms, etc I forage.Imagine subsisting on fucking random mushrooms for ten days, then eating a 10 kilogram fish to repeat the process.
>>3125175Zombies fear the bloatmaxxed shroom forager.
>>3125162I just go starving and then start eating while wandering around looting and finding zombies. Easier than carting a bunch of food back.
>>3125168Weapons break, I need more.
Huh. I thought the whole population of this game got turned into zombies, but I went to Muldraugh and the population there is the same groaning, shambling drunk hillbillies as usual?Weird.
I really want to do a new run but I know this fuckass upcoming build will either brick my save or fucking make it unplayable for weeks due to mod conflicts.Fuck TIS, these assholes are incompetent.
>>3125341We're on Stable updates, saves don't really brick.
>>3125234You can make infinite baseball bats if you level carving.
I hope they do to Wines what they did for Comics.Brands with randomized vintages, older vintages are more rare. Would be kino.Add Rose wine too that appears less than white and red while you're at it for the true hellishly rare item.
>>3125404I know, but in that post I was exploring weapons that weren't baseball bats.
>>3125407honestly who gives a fuck. that shit is flavor. what they need to do is fix the jankass bullshit.
>>3125430>honestly who gives a fuckMe. The person who just posted about it (implying I give a fuck)
>>3125444nice tripswhat you're suggesting could be easily added via c+ping some lines in a text file. devs really need to fix their shit before they go adding more stuff.
>sunk all this time into a character and base>dreaming of a new start already I wish an aislop mod could transfer it into a new world with my ex-character a wandering npc in it
I think this is the best mod in the game. Being able to craft without dealing with item dropping jank is a godsend
>>3125426>in that post I was exploring weapons that weren't baseball batsWhich is a bit pointless, baseball bats just outclass everything else and are so easy to make.The only competitive thing next to them is swords (comically powerful but not easy to obtain) and maces (baseball bats with extra steps)
>>3125538>I wish an aislop mod could transfer it into a new world with my ex-character a wandering npc in it>Step 1start new save>Step 2open old save folder>Step 3Copy "players.db" from old save file into new save folderwa la
>>3125552Did you misread them or something? That's not what they're talking about.
if you start with 0 fitness and 0 strength what is the best exercise? Is it burpees or should you split with pushups and squats?
>>3125614>Start with 0 fitnessYou don't. You start with 8-10.
>>3125548You know what, I might try blacksmithing next run. I hope this fuckass patch hits stable soon so the modders can fix shit and I can do a proper run.Can't wait to pull my hair from all the sword sharpening. I tried going welder and doing scrap metal swords and my guy was like an attack on titan character that had to cycle through 3 weapons (back, two belts) just because the swords ran out of sharpness while I was fighting a horde. B42 unstable too so you just know the baseball bat was already offering more longevity for significantly less initial investment.
>>3125614Adding to what that anon said. If you want to tank a stat, you tank strength. Puny is ridiculously easy to deal with. Literally steal a dumbbell and some booze on top of your other shit while you're speedwalking out of town and you can grind 7 strength in just a few days.
>>3125619The ultimate issue with swords is that at high skill levels/STR you end up 1 hit killing zombies with a baseball bat anyways.So swords end up functioning as worse bats because they're harder to make and need sharpening.
>>3125622Fuck the sharpening mechanic dude. They already diluted knife pulls with this pairing knife shit, but now they also made them way worse because you constantly have to stop and maintain them.
>>3122348Wanna bet they just stole some ladder mod and a crowbar mod
>somehow got caught on a bush and diedI almost switched god mode on after that bullshit...almost.
>>3125692I wouldn't be surprised if they vibecoded this patch.
>>3125731>>3125692How is this a bad thing? Aren't we are always complaining that the devs don't implement any of the features from QoL mods?
>>3125740Because it interrupts my gameplay and only helps vanilla only redditors who don't know how to use zombiebuddy.
oh hey it worksalso the save conversion went well
>>3125834Are you hiding the nausea moodle?That character should be exhibiting symptoms by now.
>>3125740Because the stream of updates will quickly stop once they run out of mods to rip off.
>Get shot three times.>Quickly bandage up, assuming that it'll stop my HP from ticking down and I can safely remove each bullet later as to not risk bleeding out from a deep wound.>Bullets actually do constant damage until they're removed.>Die.That'll teach me.
>>3125901>putting a band aid over a gunshot wound would make it go away.This is one of those things I think are justified. On the shooters end its really frustrating shooting a long ass burst at another guy and not seeing them go down.
>>3125162is there a chip factory in Louisville or something? They are the perfect food.
>>3125834All your mods work? Is this the test release
>>3125162By month six those chips probably taste like ambrosia compared to rat stewThen by year 2 they probably taste like slop and you LOVE rat stew

>>3125939They're really not. Barely remove hunger for the calories, no protein. Good early on but you'll start stockpiling snacks and tins. The better food for your purpose woupd be 2 liter full sugar sodas. High cal, high satisfaction to both hunger and thirst
>>3125955wut?carbs are the hardest macronutrient to upkeep, chips are one of the main sources of such
Hehe :-)Wouldn't it be funny ;-)Totally hilarious :-)If there was a mod ;-)There was a mod that let you replace female cows :-)Let you replace female cows with humans in cow bikinis ;-))Hehe :-)And then you can milk them and they make human moans :-)))
bro is down horrendous fr
I uhhhhh got all set up in Louisville on the western coast in the bottom left house. Realized I never got a fishing rod from anywhere and there's no store here either. I tried to check out a strip mall with a "sports" store and it was packed with like 400 zombies. I was still tryign to figure out where to base and just kind of said fuck it. It's getting cold so I said fuck it I'm going to just build in Fallas Lake and use the advanced forge there to make my life easier. I want to go back to Louisville later but idk I like to slowly take over areas and it will just take too long right now. I like how you can actually see the migration but I've got no high aiming + M4 to mow down hordes and I'm not prepared for my first winter at all. Figure I'll collect books and things now and return in the future.
>>3126587The worst thing about the fishing rods is you REALLY want to find one in a car or tackle shop. Because there's a bunch of hidden behind the scenes shit that affects the fishing minigame.In a nutshell, your line choice doesn't matter (twine is less durable but does nothing else), but your hook type matters a lot for getting bites, and the rod choice (normal fishing rods are best) affects how much durability your line will be losing.
>>3125834Oof, that camera snap.
>>3124317back in unstable lemmy had each best season for plannting offset by a month, so most would just instantly die. it was like that for forever, what a dickhead.
>>3125546Combine that mod with this lil niggyhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3767639280
>>3126089Carbs do nothing lol. Ignore carbs and fat because they arent worth attempting the upkeep. Protein only matters between 50 and 300, also not worth keeping up because most options gives too much and getting higher cooking cucks you more.
>>3125692interesting that when they fix something, the shitter must grasp at straws. sad!
this pickaxe has been with me since the very beginning of this innawoods runfound it in a random forageit helped me level maintenance to 1it helped me cut a bunch of treesit helped me level masonry so I could start blacksmithingit cleared stumpsit's the best thing I have at breading down doors and garage doors because I won't be finding a sledgehammer anytime soonand now it's finally about to break...
>>3127435oh my god this is perfect
>>3127732It's as if we had 15 years of experience with TIS bullshit.
when confronted with his own hypocrisy, the shitter moves the goalposts.sad!
we call that die Bunkermentalität over here
>>3125915Yeah, but the shooter can also one-tap the person they're shooting at. I think its another case of Zomboid being "realistic" unless its something that can fuck the player over.But the health mechanics/First Aid are really lacking in the game in general so I think the entire thing could use an overhaul. I doubt the devs really put much thought into damage from anything but zombies as well.
Any tips fory first attempt at multiple years playthrough? Apocalypse settings, no infections. I've never stuck around longer than like 60 days before.
>>3128299apoc is easy, loot is plentiful and zombies are restricted to walking speed onlyyou should be able to do it
Whats the go to drugs mod nowadays? Bit stumped by the options. Would like to grow some dudeweed too and addiction/withdrawal systems

>>3128494Why not common sense instead of the pry open mod?
>>3128611that mod is a bit out of date now and half its features are in vanilla, i have other mods that tackle the other elements (ui mods already show ammo counts, etc.)
>>3128299the most important thing to playing longer than a year is godlike patience and a willingness to be bored as fuck.
any way or mod that allows me to hide what containers I want in the inventory screen here?
>>3128671realistically the game ends when you fortify a base and have one the many bountiful food options in place. if you start grinding crafts without hearing a zombie you won NPCs are needed or dynamic horde events to keep the midgame interesting and spice up playing runescape at home . Im looking at mod options now, Roaming Survivors seems good
>Kill bandit>Unable to loot it until I pick up it's corpse and drop it>All its equipment despawns when I do itIt wasn't like this before, what gives?
>>3128780Looting bandits was considered too overpowered, so their equipment is now unavailable to the player.
>>3128813Please follow the Modder's Vision
>>3128734the only problem with making the endgame other humans is the likelihood of getting shot in the face.in fact i am sure TIS will make them super brutal just to fit their whole THIS IS HOW YOU DIED gimmick.what the game needs is to be fun to play. like imagine if killing zombies was done with a goddamn menu. just queue up 20 zombie kills and watch a progress bar fill up. is that fun? no. so why is crafting like that?
>>3128780Slayer is a massive faggot. I'm so glad Ark flopped.
>>3128887What? You mean *CLANK* you don't like *CLANK* hearing a bunch *CLANK* of clank noises *CLANK* for about a solid minute *CLANK* for each *CLANK* item you *CLANK* want *CLANK* to *CLANK* make *CLANK* with the *CLANK* forge? *CLANK*
>>3128940no and i honestly think they're purposefully being cunts for making masonry and blacksmithing so fucking horrible. like holy shit i just take my headphones off for that.
>>3128949WHAT? *CLANK* I can't *CLANK* hear *CLANK* you *CLANK* over *CLANK* the damned *CLANK* crafting noises *CLANK* I just want *CLANK* to make a *CLANK* damned hatchet! *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK*
>>3128953yeah. it do be like that.fuck i wonder if Claude can vibecode this shit... i'm so done. beyond done.
>>3128957What's especially annoying is we have sandbox options for so much shit but not a single 'crafting speed multiplier' option.We can change how fast books are read, but not how fast it takes to make a fucking wall or baseball bat or hatchet.>Just fast forward!Playing multiplayer co-op with a buddy, can't fast forward if I wanted to, and I don't want to change *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* into *CLANKCLANKCLANKCLANKCLANKCLANKCLANKCLANK*
>>3128966>>3128953On this topic any good sound overhauls. I find the fishing sound to be a bit too sharp as well. Softer more ASMR sounds please
>>3128972The fishing sound is annoying because even in 1993 a spinning reel did not sound like that. And why is it making ball-bearing-grinding noises when you aren't even reeling in???
>no mention of fixing (empty) welding torches being unable to be refilledmaybe they will read this
>>3128993You can refill empty torches.
>>3128887>what the game needs is to be fun to play. like imagine if killing zombies was done with a goddamn menu. just queue up 20 zombie kills and watch a progress bar fill up. is that fun? no. so why is crafting like that?Yes. Yes! YES! Turn Zomboid into WarioWare. A minigame for every craft!
>>3129026then i must have a mod that has reactivated the bug.
I just turned 450 sugar beets into sugar 9x beets per 1.5l pot4 pots cooking at a time 60 minutes to sugar, another 60 to molasses, half are molasses now to make half the sugar beet sugar into powdered sugar and half into brown
>>3124697horde, not hoard. behead illiterate niggers.
>>3129064>he doesn't have the zombie hoarder mod
>vanilla food expanded>Adds 2800 new foodsThat's too many. At a certain point it would be tiring to try and read it all. And they're filling up drawers with spices and random shit too. Who likes this?
>>3129364>vanilla survivors dont seezun dey food
>>3129364It doesnt work that way, its very intuitive with right click menus as well. You can just stick to basics, casseroles are really good and thats right click on the pan. You can get into the more indepth recipes but its one of my favourite mods that fits in very neatly
>>3126322this but with catboys
>cant dismantle shovels under long implements, but you can do spadeswhat the fuck is they're problem
