THE KNOX EVENT IS CONTAINEDIT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONTAINED
Not contained enough it seems
people still play this abandonware?
>>722338231my save keeps crashing on start up and i don't feel like waiting ten years for this game to boot up just to crash
>>722338530for abandonware, it sure gets updated a lot
>>722338602yea but like...none of the updates are good
>add multiplayer to your newest update>game explodes in popularity and earns you millions of dollars in revenue>remove multiplayer in the next update>give no ETA on when the multiplayer will be readded>stop doing monthly devblog updates because they take up too much work (???)genuinely what is wrong with these developers?
>>722338647But they're still large updates, making it not abandonware
Has Zomboid fixed the gameplay loop yet? Meaning, there's no aspirational content past setting up a base, which is extremely easy. Can I even build a vehicle from the ground up?
>>722339069nothing has changed
>>722339069Nope there's still no goals, plot, or other hook to keep the player engaged. Even though this game came out TWELVE years ago it hasn't included basic elements that crpgs had in the early 90s.
>>722338602They literally co-opt mods to add to the game.If there is a decent modder they get hired on a small shit contract, sign an NDA and non-compete, integrate their mod into the game and then get delegated to cuck bug fix duty until the contract is up. This allows the dev team to get the double benefit of it looking like they have made real progress, while simultaneously taking away a community modder that would make them look bad by making the game better at a faster rate then the actual developers are.Buying copies of zomboid is buying a plane ticket for the mapper to fly to England and get a train ran on her by the rest of the dev team.
>>722338906it's abandonware in spirit since the developers genuinely don't care anymore>almost a year since animals were added>butchering baby rabbits still gives more meat than butchering an adult cowclown company
>>722339069Nothing yet. And the Extraction mod, closes thing this game has to an endgame, doesn't work with the recent patches, last I checked.
>>722339286Cuck bug fix duty is basically inevitable when you have a small team building a game from scratch that gets big. There's always technical debt from poorly realized code laid down at the beginning which was later, but still a long time ago now, patched up with hackfixes that made it work properly several years ago. Eventually the hacked together, poorly commented spaghetti code written by the handful of bros who started the project becomes such an impediment to further development that the whole team has to stop making the game and spend months or years just unfucking it and having the same features they already had, but with well organized code that doesn't run like shit and can be expanded upon without it being a nightmare of bug hunting that just gets worse every time.
>>722339069nope
>>722338231Is B42 singleplayer worth a look? I have ~150 mods installed for B41 singleplayer (>90% of them are UI, QoL, performance and balance changes) and I don't want to go through the hassle of finding and installing B42 versions/equivalents for each one. Animal husbandry, pottery, blacksmithing and all the survival-crafting shit don't interest me in the slightest, but I want to explore the new towns and loot/base in skyscrapers. I like to play as a scavenger, clearing out towns with a non-respawning zombie pop and looting everything in sight (with insanely rare loot settings to avoid overabundance).
>>722338231I am pretty sure the knox event has taken over the entire world and there is no real hope left except for maybe hardy survivours grouping together, clearing out areas and learning to survive and thrive despite the apocolypse.Anyways, my main gripe with this game is that bites are one hit kills, every fight means a risk of death, so fighting is best avoided at all costs unless it is absolutely nessesary like getting into a warehouse. This really kills the fun for me who enjoys fighting the zombies with weapons or his bare fists.
>>722340905There's roughly 500 million people worldwide that are immune to the airborne version of the infection. In theory, large settlements of a few hundred, thousand or even tens of thousands could band together over several years and restart civilization provided enough of that population has members capable of performing essential skills (farming, construction, metal fabrication, electrical, etc)
>>722340905>Anyways, my main gripe with this game is that bites are one hit kills, every fight means a risk of death, so fighting is best avoided at all costs unless it is absolutely nessesary like getting into a warehouse.There are so many youtube videos like "KILLING ALLLLL THE ZOMBIES (6 hours 43 minutes)" and that are just hours of straight combat and I'm like.. These are ALL cheated, right? You can just get knocked over or the zombies swarm in just the perfect way that you get hit and there's nothing you can do. They're getting scratched and lacerated dozens of times in these videos and never getting infected and never getting bitten. What did they restart their hundreds of hours long playthroughs dozens of times until they got improbably lucky?
>>722338548Maybe remove your gay furry mods genius.
>>722341913Yeah, but I think the zombies aren't going away any time and humanity will have to learn to adapt to the hardier conditions.I highly doubt that there will be any way to clear the earth of the zombies again, but maybe I will be proven wrong if they can invent some sci-fi super weapon.
>>722338901The lead dev had a meltdown when a modder told everyone how to fix zombie path finding.Dude literally went on a multi page rant about how modders are scum and reverse engineering HIS game. All the modder did was find a missing data value and add it back in lol takes 20 seconds to fix but its still broken over a year later in the base game, you have to add the data line manually in the game files.
>>722342404>Maybe remove your gay furry mods genius.Never!No gay furries, no deal!
>>722342647same thing with car interiors and animated car doorsit's all in the game but only needs a couple of fixes to work and yet the developers just don't do anything with it for years, just why?
>>722342754more of a protogen/synth enjoyer myselfthat mod works just fine and they look suitably goofy with britas insecure teenager outfits
>>722342524>I highly doubt that there will be any way to clear the earth of the zombies again, but maybe I will be proven wrong if they can invent some sci-fi super weapon.YeahIt'd probably require the abandonment of at least the majority of major cities worldwide, unless by some miracle an organized military force remains near one that can clear one block by block and set up defensible organized checkpoints as they goCountries that have mandatory military service like South Korea could have a better chance than othersIt's an interesting story idea to explore but it'd never go anywhere
>>722341913>>722342524There's no point in speculating with these gay zombie apocalypse scenarios that redditors come up with. Everyone dies, man is le real monster(but not the heccin minorities), mother nature takes back the earth (because we humans are specially awful and we ourselves aren't a part of nature even though we don't believe in god and accept that humans are just another product of natural evolution)If it was realistic, even the airborne virus wouldn't get everyone because there are incredibly remote and cold settlements where even if somebody breathed in one stray virus particle and that was somehow enough to completely infect and turn them, once they become a zombie they'd just wander out in to the cold and freeze solid and be dead - and no they couldn't just get up if they thaw, getting frozen destroys eukaryote cells completely.And that's just one thing that could destroy them, there are tons of other things that could and would physically destroy the rotting bodies of zombies over a not very long span of time since they don't heal from damage any more, they'd just fall apart over their time spent constantly aimlessly wandering towards loud noises. Whether they break themselves against barriers like they do in the damn game or just clumsily fall over and smash their rotting heads open or break an ankle and then drag themselves along the ground until they're destroyed by sheer road rash.To say nothing of the fact that with civilization gone, predatory animals would pretty quickly realize the clumsy shambling humans are totally incapable of defending themselves and wouldn't mind that they're a bit ripe - the zombies only seem to rot enough to be creepy they don't fully decompose, because if that was the case then every zombie would only exist for a few weeks before their muscles rot away to mush and they become compost.
>>722343258In the game the zombies literally decay over time to nothing...the outbreak fixes itself in a few years. It was a trash story which is maybe why they gave up on it and went full stardew valley with farming and fishing mechanics>zombies?FARMING AND FISHING
>>722339306'muh balance'-The Indie Stone
>>722338548lmao I've had the same issue, I REALLY don't want to go through my hundred mods one by one to see which one is breaking shit so Im just waiting and hoping it magically fixes itself
>>722343425PS just being "dead" wouldn't actually make zombies immune to any of the things that kill us. Not taking in and processing water and air and calories and the various vitamins and minerals we need to live doesn't just kill us for the fucking fun of it, the chemical reactions that give our cells the energy and matter to move and self-replicate depend on all those things. Zombies can't exist without violating the laws of thermodynamics, so any setting including them has already departed from the realm of logic.
>>722340905There's plenty of sparsely populated areas in the world, where people would survive in a situation like this. Especially places in the north, where "zombies" would just freeze during winter. It would require super zombies to exist, which zomboid pointedly does not have, for humanity to be seriously struggle. Sure, places like india would be wiped out, but humanity would be fine in many places.
>>722343425I don't think the zombies care about their body getting damaged. They can drop from 5 stories and still be fine. The only way to "kill" a zombie would be destroying the body completely like hacking it apart or crushing it with blunt weapons.Animals fear the zombies.
I recently picked this game up, is there any trick to finding people to play with?There was a cool rp server I joined, but every other server seems almost empty or locked
>>722343425>>722343962>>722344049
>>722344178
>>722343258That falls flat on it's head when you take account that the virus is just magic death gas that spreads infinitely from zombies and carriers.
>>722344178>>722344226>Fantasy video game is impossibleNext he will say that magic and FTL travel are impossible too.
>>722344050b41 has so many game breaking exploits that no one at all will let you into a server unless you talk to them first and convince them that you will not fuck it up.b42 has no multi player. either you have friends who play or you are screwed budderino
>>722344306>b42 has no multi player.Because it is still in early access. Multiplayer will come in one or two years.
>>722344297>obvious thing is obviousIf you don't bring it up people will unironically start to believe it could happen.Dialogue is important, anon.
>>722344297What we're saying is that trying to speculate on the logical ways humanity could survive and recover from this is retarded in a setting driven by handwavy magic zombies resulting from a magic virus that just kills almost everybody no matter what (but will never just mutate to kill the ones it couldn't kill before even though it already mutated to become airborne). Everyone dies because they said so, the end.
>>722340905>my main gripe with this game is that bites are one hit killsThis is necessary because it keeps you on your toes and forces you to play with self-preservation in mind. Melee combat would have less stakes without it, letting you play recklessly and tank as many bites and scratches as you want so long as you have enough HP. 100% bite infection chance also emphasises the need to be aware of your surroundings so that you don't get snuck up on, making both exploration and combat more tense.>fighting is best avoided at all costs unless it is absolutely nessesaryAnd it almost always is. If you're trying to loot a building with zombies around the perimeter, stealth isn't a viable option because you'll almost always get spotted so long as you cross a zombie's line of sight, even from ~20 tiles away. Realistically, your only options are to dispatch of them or shout and try to lead them away. The latter is riskier since it can attract more zombies and isn't a permanent solution. Fighting them off, as dangerous as it may seem, is typically your best option.>>722342250>They're getting scratched and lacerated dozens of times in these videos and never getting infectedI'd believe it. Base chance to get infected from scratches and lacerations is already low (7% and 15% respectively). Additionally, many players (me included) choose to make transmission saliva-only via a sandbox setting, so only bites are capable of infecting your character.>>722343425>getting frozen destroys eukaryote cells completelyNot in Project Zomboid they don't. You'd expect a zombie's body to necrose very quickly, destroying their means of respiration, locomotion, digestion, etc. Despite this, they can still stand, walk and eat things. PZ zombies don't abide by real-world rules. You need to suspend your disbelief and assume they can survive for years before truly "dying".
>>722344491>Everyone dies because they said so, the end.That means ur mom will die too btw.
>>722338602>a lot

>>722344445>been in development for 5 years>its early access goys, trustFISHING AND FARMING! OH BOY!
My personal zombies would just be corpses that are animated by a parasitic fungus so they don't really care if the cells get destroyed, they bleed out or even if they lose an arm or break a leg.But that's just my view on zombies and not official lore.
>>722338472Wait a minute....>Computer, enhance the right top window.I recognize that rape. Thanks, doc.
>>722338231I played this 8 years ago, what the fuck do you mean it's still not finished
>>72234473042% lethal
the permadeath made sense back in alpha when the whole map would eventually get flooded with zombies and you'd have nowhere to go so you'd be guaranteed to diebut since they went down the minecraft modpack crafting route which necessitate tens of hours of grinding on vanilla settings and with how janky the game can be regarding to zombies hitting you at times it doesn't really work anymoreof course the devs will just handwave it and tell you to edit the sandbox settings since no one can rely on their retarded balancing
>>722344754muscles are made of cells that can't move any more if they get destroyed and depend on all the vital functions of the body to supply the many chemicals they use to keep moving which can't be just ignored because eventually you come down to the laws of physics where you can't make something move without a source of potential energy to turn in to motion
>>722344798i've owned the game since 2013
>>722344890Agreed. I use the xp journal thing at like 80%. Death should have some punishment, but there's no way I'm going back to losing everything after a 30 hour run. It's a nice gimmick for some playthroughs to see how long you can last, but for a more comfy sandboxy game, no thanks.
zombie media should've stopped at 28 days later

I enjoyed multiplayer when it came out, and playing with you nerds. I had the game since 2013 as well but it was finally the first time I touched it since then.This game is an actual gigantic pile of shit though, god damn. It pisses me off how much missed potential and bullshit excuses there has been over the years.What other survival games do you guys enjoy?
>>722345142Oh no! Not the knots event please! The horror!

>>722345354>What other survival games do you guys enjoy?I've enjoyed Vintage Story but unfortunately the development is also heading in a bad direction
>>722338472Thank you doctor
>>722345470what do you mean you don't like the devs spending months delivering multiple colors of pottery and furling sails for the shitty jank sailboats you can't even stand on but have to desperately click for a seat while falling through them?
>>722344178the virus hijacks the body's systems and forces a change to ammonia and hydrogen sulfide (both produced through biosynthesis) based chemistry which evens out to a neutral ph after causing degradation due to varied levels of alkalinity and acidity during infection, higher cognition is lost due to brain damage but basic motor function remain at a lowered level due to the brainstem's more primitive and robust naturebacteria colonise the body to produce methanol from fresher biomass (early in infection the body itself, later consumed biomass) which slows down decomposition and combined with the room temperature and base ph of the body and hydrogen sulfide leads to the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate in limited quantitiesas a result the zombie is a self-embalmed body with very limited very basic non-sentient cognition and lowered motor activity that self-regulates activity levels to limit consumption of the relatively scarce (compared to a living human) supply of adenosine triphosphate
Project SHIToid has been COMPLETELY and UTTERLY mogged by the following zombie survival games in the FUN department:-State of Decay-7 Days to Die-Fort Zombie-Terminus: Zombie Survivors-HumanitZ-Zed Zone-Survivalist Invisible Strain-VEINAND by the following vaporware in the WILL-RELEASE-IN-OUR-LIFETIME department:-Scam Citizen-Escape From Tarkov-Mountain Blade 2: Bonerlord-Silksong-Deadlock-Half-Life 3
>>722345470Please understand, we need to take 2+ years adding a series of shitty lore dungeons people will do maybe once and a boss fight that's buggy as hell.
>>722345705>-7 Days to Dieas much as I dislike Zomboid, 7DTD and it's development are in an even worse position where they deliberately remove content and change the gameplay loop for the worse in every update
>>722345705>State of Decay.Nigga please.
>>722345658But now you've just opened the door and entered in to a realm of even gayer biochemistry nitpicks like how they wouldn't have functional eyes or ears, much less the ability to process sensory information and change behavior accordingly, you'd just have a twitching corpse for a while instead of a lifeless one.
>>722345705>Survivalist Invisible StrainI've been on the cusp of buying this during the sale. It looks jank as all hell but I don't think it'll bother me. It sounds like it has a lot of content and the basebuilding stuff has been compared to State of Decay but more favorably.I pirated 7 Days To Die like 11 years ago. How is it now?
>>722345838IF you use the legacy mod for 7days, its actually pretty good. Vanilla shit the bed though yes and i hate it.

You know, it's really thematically appropriate that all these zombie survival games are in this wheelspinning state of suspended half-dead development that never ever seems to advance.
>>722342647Reminds me of that alien game where there was an extra f in a string of code that lobotomized the Alien's AI package.

for me it's echopraxia zombies
>>722346524you mean that fucking horsecock comic?
>>722346171Because they all become popular and dont want the gravy train to end but at the same time they need to develop and end game for the suckers they scammed out of $20
>>722344445it's not early access, games don't take 12 years to make. Zomboid is a finished game and in the process of finishing it they actually downgraded it and removed features and refused to fix easily fixed bugs the game is unfortunately held back by a fucking retard being in charge
>>722346524Crossed?
>>722346171Look, if you do not like zombie games just go back to "gamble for waifu.jpg with real money" simulator.
>>722345916not really? I didn't say the higher brain was destroyed, just that it was damaged severely enough to prevent active higher cognition and I didn't go into detail what happened to the nervous system beyond implying it was effectively embalmedif we're getting into specifics you don't even need too many neurons to react to simple stimuli or to perform basic image recognition especially if you're only looking for one thing (people) like zombies do, or to react to directional sound and touchvery, very basic and tiny insect and worms have all these senses to a level high enough for a zombiehumans have ~90 billion neurons, a fruit fly has ~90kyou would need one millionth of human neurons to remain active to match a fruit flyeven with the highest vision setting zombies have very poor senses if you think about, a few blocks? dragonflies can see longer than thatthey only feel long-range because of the limited isometric viewin terms of visual acuity a surprisingly large fraction of legally blind people maintain the ability to make out human movement and forms even from the very dark, blurry visual they have because detecting those is deeply ingrained into human brainssame goes for speech, speech is recognisable even when very muffled and far away or with severe hearing damage, even if you can't tell what is actually being saidzombies could lose 99% of all brain activity and 90% of their senses and still be zomboid tier

>>722355748I am not a fan of the calory system.Fattening up is too hard and losing weight is too easy and I can't even play as a fat incel anymore so I don't have to worry about calories early on.
for me? it's the green flu. nice balance between unknown bullshit, plausability and it basically being an act of god with how fucking virulent and quick to mutate the virus is. you never get the sense that the zombies would last for a long time (and they shouldn't) and the game makes it clear the survivors are constantly lagging just behind non infected settlements and actively contributing towards the infection of off screen people as well.>>722346524crossed is even stupider because realistically there should be NONE of them left after a week or two with how fucking self destructive they are. not even just how off the wall retardedly violent against others (and themselves) but their absolute lack of hygene would completely decimate their numbers in no time at allthe only reason it doesn't is because the comic is dogshit meant for shock value and nothing else

The Last Stand... Home...
>>722345705HumanitZ 1.0 is coming this year I think. Worth checking out imo.
Has real zombie migration - from more dense areas to pathable cleared areas and without respawns - been added yet?
>>722338231This game needs new enemies and NPCs (I know I know)It gets so boring for me
>>722363982I was kinda disappointed when I grinded to get the metalworking startion and iron ingots, only to turn you thate the metalworking anviil weapons are just the same generic weapons that randomly drop everywhere.He should have added actual maces or warhammers as a reward for getting the metalworking station up.
>>722360050Nah that's the first game, I was talking about this one.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1054510/Survivalist_Invisible_Strain/It's janky but it's got soul. The game is about building up your base and recruiting people to help you along, but you also have to watch out that you aren't hiring someone infected with the invisible strain because they'll end up infecting your whole crew and turning on you. After befriending npcs you'll learn there's a couple of tests you can do to determine if people are infected, it's stuff like asking them about something violent and seeing their facial reaction, if they smile like psychopaths they're probably infected.You can also do warcrimes like combining arrows with white strain zombie flesh which doesn't have a cure, or if you prefer to be sneaky you can put it in a stew and gift it to the raiders who keep bullying you to pay for protection.
>>722364459From what I recall there are "apocalypse" weapons that you can craft now, but I'm not sure if you can get those as drops as well. I get what you're saying but it's also nice to have an alternative way to get weapons, it helps especially when you play with lower drop rates.
>>722365748I remember there was a sawblade bat and a spartan spear last time I played, but these were on the default workbench.Anvil only had generic weapons that could be found everywhere.If they added new, real weapons so the anvil is actually worth it now that would be great!

>>722338602>>722338647>Take nearly 4 years for update 42>Devs state the reason for the delay was for multiplayer>Don't add multiplayer for build 42 regardlessAmazing. Lets see what this 4 year long update adds:>Added more floors so buildings are taller, houses have basementsOk that is great so far but is it worth 4 years of dev time?>revamps the map and adds nicer lightingOk so far so good.>Nerfs the shit out of all the skills/traits and now you have to take 4 negative traits just to get one good trait.>Now your character gets tried super easily even if you have insanely high strength and fitness>Hired a NPC modder just for him to work on making fishing into a mini-game.>TVs only give you exp until lvl4>Carpenter doesn't get exp from breaking down beds so now the player has to grind even more to lvl up that skill>Mechanic is still a bitch to grind with nothing great added to it. More watching a green bar fill up.>Added hunting and animal husbandry.>Cows give less meat than a rabbit.>The devs think that adding more shit that forces the player to stay in the same place is good?>Stealth just doesn't work anymore>Your character loses calories even from eating like a fat fuck and doing nothing all day.>Blacksmithing, the skill that was the reason for the huge delay is worthless>You can get better tools/weapons from zombie loot instead of wasting time grinding away at this useless skill>Guns are now hit or miss even with a high skill>Zombie spawns are fucked where even small back water towns have insane amounts of zombies>Loot has been nerfed to hell.>Nearly every house is empty that even finding a kitchen knife is a chore.>Hit detection is still broken>The zombie pathfinding is still broken even though as this anon stated >>722342647a modder found the fix for it.Oh and of course lets not forget:>After 10 YEARS still no NPCsIt's actually amazing how retarded game devs can be.

>>722338231BUILD 42 FUCKING SUCKSJUST GIVE ME NPCS ALREADY
if the devs suck so much, why hasn't anybody made their own project zomboid with blackjack and hookers like CDDA/CBN?
>>722338472Do you think they could fit the whole word in 1 line if they skipped the exclamation mark? Or would that fail to convey the urgency of the situation?
>>722372225Do the math, numbnuts. Need fifteen tiles of width to fit the letters and the building is fifteen tiles wide. The letters would butt into the wall and have poor readability.
>>722372446How about SOS?

>>722342647>>722368980Anyone have a screencap or a link of the mentioned meltdown? Asking for a friend.
>>722372671HELP fits, SOS fits with room to spare.
he lp???? who is he
>>722353757I love zoey so much bros..
>>722368980>we are focusing on adding new lighting to our flash browser looking game, claymaking and ANOTHER exhaustion system>oh npc's? that were in the game once before? that several modders have added to the game? sorry we can't do that, too complicated, we've decided to re-work the fishing instead
>>722368980The funny part about trying to nerf the playable character to the ground is that the dude had to walk back a lot of the nerf and there's the change to how zombies gather, so if you're a bit more patient and manage your tiredness while having maxed out strength and fitness you'll realize that it's actually easier to get rid of zombies that in build 41
