PROJECT ZOMBOID BUILD 42 WERE IN TOP 10 MOST PLAYED ON STEAM!100k PLAYERS! Where are the steam playercount threads now?
>STILL NO NON-ZOMBIE NPCS! jesus fucking christ
>STILL NO ZOMBIE SEXBrehs
>>744550773this game exists for the sole purpose of making dumb challenge runs and uploading them to youtube so they can ruin my feed
>>744551053zombie pussy is rotten, and that stinks in a bad way
got a question, when it says water amount like this and not unlmited does that mean the water is shut off? i feel like ive only been here like week
>>744551395yes. the water can shut off before the power does. i got unlucky and had the water shutoff the first day once
>>744551395how about you play the game and figure it out yourself. its not rocket science
Those zombies are gonna destroy those walls in 2 minutes.
>>744550773BumpLemmy is a faggotWaiting for the kitemaking update
>>744551395It can shut off any day within the first month, including day one.
what gun mods do you guys like or do you stick with vanilla
>>744550773fuck the haters, the game's funfavorite mods/collections?
>>744551053
>>744551395Time to start leaving pots and pans around in the yard to collect rain water
>>744551446I turn on player invincible structures :)
>>744552118But that's illegal
I really hate the devs didn't just make a Sims 1 successor.As a zombie game it's fine, but we need a new version of Sims 1 far more than we need just another zombie game.
>>744551079That's because the main core gameplay is surviving the first 2 weeks, after that the whole game gets boring and repetitive.Everyone minmaxing carpentry, electronics and mechanics every time.
>>744550773>new all-time peakWhat the fuck? Is it really worth another playthrough without npcs?
>>744554341play multiplayer if you want to encounter NPCs
>>744554506I want useful and immersive NPCs
>>744554604You're shit out of luck then. Just wait another 10 years, we'll get them soon enough.
>>744550773not gonna return until they add NPCs and more propouse to killing zomboids like an option that allows levels ups also the underweight and overweight traits
https://youtu.be/w6x5M-Q_JxE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuXsKqMMtjM&t=2sBlacksmithing in B42 is amazing. I might do a primitive playthrough
>>744555198full primitive suckslike using stone weapons only you mean? You can get a lot of damage with rock weapons with a high STR character but you got no armor just rags.Or you mean medievalist? Medieval is overpowered because armor is overpowered as it should be. Cant get cut or a bite if you are covered in plate and chainmail. Well you can but the chances are really low. You can still get mobbed and fall over and you will get raped.
IS THERE A /V/ SERVER??
>>744554907There are good NPC mods now doe.
>>744555701doesn't seem like itmaybe pester the /vm/ thread and see if you can get someone to spend money to host one
>>744555967>spend moneySurely someone on /v/ has a good enough rig to self host
>>744556663usually you want persistence when making a server like this, unless they can run their rig 24/7 with no interruptions otherwise.seems like the /vm/ thread is discussing making a server
>>744556714>unless they can run their rig 24/7Don't tell me you faggots actually shutdown your PCs
>>744554959This is the only semi decent guy who does this shit. Everyone else is an obnoxious narcissist trying to larp as epic radio hero man. I just wish he had more variety in voices, hearing Joe Rogan three times in one broadcast is annoying.
>>744557026I havn't shopped around too much but it seems like the best channel so far, it's just something ill turn on while im in the safehouse fucking around but honestly the premise can't be that fucking hard to do everyone screws it up adding extra sound effects or some cringe ass dialogue. all i want is some classic first week of apocalypse radio broadcast series type thing.
>>744556801that extra $4 a month for 50 watts in the night time is too much for most /v/ users to afford
>>744555726not gud nuff
try these builds /v/
>>744556801i need to up my ups game.
>>744556801I just think keeping it on 24/7 is autistic. I'm an IT specialist btw.
>>744557521
>>744550773>>744552005I had an idea at work for a negative "blue balls" trait, that would require you to masturbate frequently or else suffer stat penalties and perhaps lengthening the time required to complete focus related tasks, such as reading. Of course this means that masturbation would have to be added as a mechanic, but I think it would be worth the effort. Porn magazines could also be added, which could increase the time before the player needs to partake again when read, although would cause "porn addiction" if abused, causing the player to need to consume these magazines more frequently. I think this could easily be an 11 point trait and would like feedback for this idea, thank you.
>>744555501>Cant get cut or a bite if you are covered in plate and chainmail.and you only need an irl month to grind the skill to craft one
>>744557991thats so easy and easier to manage that smoker
>>744557991You only get blueballs if you edge though
>>744558042then call it "Horny" or "High Libido"its so easy to manage though jacking off is easier than finding smokes and smoking them then having to cough
>>744557738it's good for the capacitors and other components and reduces stress. pop the hood sometimes.
>>744557898>crutchdesensitized is good filter. if you think its good you got filtered. redit and jewtubers dont know shit about the game.
>>744558109It would be far more frequent than smoking though. The idea was you'd basically be a hopeless sex addict, the kind that can't even drive to the grocery store without pulling over to jerk off on the way there. It really has the potential to be the most complex system in the game. For instance, I envision a semen retention system where if you don't jerk off you continuously build up anxiety and restlessness which makes things like sneaking more difficult, but if hold out over a long period you trigger a semen retention state where testosterone begins to raise and your character gains increased strength. Just at the idea stage right now.
>>744558141I know but in the long run turning it off/leaving it on 24/7 have almost the same effect in terms of stress. That was mostly an issue for older power supplies.
>>744558404its easy to manage regardless. there is legit a lot of down time in zomboid. If it has a mechanic were Zombies can smell your cum from far away though you are fucked.
is there a mod to remove the photosensitivity warning yet?
>>744558219panic ruins your aim unless you pound benzos constantly and doesn't lessen until months in - you are a retard and cringe as fuck
>hit it's all-time peak todayDidn't you guys claim the game was dead?
>>744558828>panic ruins your aim unless you pound benzos constantly and doesn't lessen until months in - you are a retard and cringe as fuckNo? Aiming has 100% accuracy in B42, you cannot miss as long as you are aiming at your target.
>>744558919dumb as fuck, rain ruins it, fog ruins it, panic ruins it, gun degradation ruins it - a million fucking things ruin it - doesn't matter if you are aiming perfectly at head or not - you're a fucking tard talking out of your ass
>>744558828Get a load of anon stuck in B41.
>>744558980Maybe you should try actually playing the fucking game lmao.You CANNOT MISS! It can be pitch black with maximum panic, stress and sadness. It can be across the screen but as long as your crosshair is over their head, it will hit EVERY time.
>>744558919you mean with your broken OP weapon mod you have perfect aim - most of the popular firearms mods on workshop have aim buffed insanely - mars guns, VFE, etc
>>744559038No, 100% vanilla, no mods. Guns don't miss in B42.
>>744559029you dumb niggers are all using mods that buff the gun aim and don't even realize it - truly pathetic shit
>>744559029if you arent being intentionally dense, you should turn on damage numbers and do your testing again. if you are being intentionally dense, purposely leaving out vital information, then fuck you.
>>744559029>>744559117retarded modded gamer btw
>>744559131Boot up the current stable version of the game (42.20)Grab any weapon.Aim at a zombie's head across the screen and shoot.Report your findings.>>744559154Weird, they don't get back up after you headshot them across the screen!
>>744558708A cum hungry zombie modifier could work...Like I said, it has far more potential than being just a free lump of points like smoker. Sure you can take the points and just stop to jerk off every couple of hours, or you can pursue max level semen retention which would buff your character to a point you can't attain otherwise, but the tradeoff is that your character is at a big stat disadvantage for, say, a month of in game time, with heightened anxiety and weakened senses until you reach the semen retention state. It would functionally create a new "early game", "mid game" and "late game" tied to one optional trait, where you start off with mild withdrawal, turning into an intense debuff, and finally rewarding the player with a huge buff if survived.
>>744559154or you have zed on the most fragile health setting and not on random - you are playing modded and won't admit it cause your epeen is too important
>>744559197intentionally dense it is then. hey we should talk about the unskipable photosensitivity warning.
How do you guys deal with getting sick with all the dead bodies around?
>>744559283I am wondering what you get out of outright not knowing how the game works?
>>744559197Just did it on vanilla stable 42, aimed a pistol directly at the head and it just missed AMA
>>744559197>Aim at a zombie's head across the screen and shoot.you are using marz guns probably, that mod has flawless aim at aim 0
>>744559319Turn off corpse sickness, its only there to act as an inconvenience and tedious thing to deal with.
>>744559321you are not white
>>744559283you replied to the wrong anon :(the unskipable photosensitivity warning, we should talk about that.
>>744557448>Perfectly normal home life aside from her parents being divorced and her dad being a drunk pos>Would've been born at the perfect time to capitalize on the girlfailure trend if she didn't decide to shoot up a school and blow her brains out for no reasonTruly grim.
>>744551053>decaying pussyno ty, i'm not into necrophilia
>>744559370is it too late to turn it off once i started
>>744559370i just wish there was an inbetween setting. I wouldn't mind wearing a mask for 50+ dead bodies but the shit is like you get sick and almost die for 10 bodies (normal) or you are immune to it with 300 bodies next to you (low) and nothing in between - typical zomboid dev tuning
>>744559494Yes.
>>744559502You can make corpse sickness less impactful, there's a setting for it.But at that point just turn the damned thing off, it's just going to be a bother sometime down the line.
>>744559426no, you replied to the wrong anon lol but i'll talk about that annoying shit - except i think it's skippable as soon as the load is done so it doesn't really cost you any time
unskipable photosensitivity warning.... anybody? even a snort about how much it doesnt matter or you dont care? nothing at all?
>>744559568that's what i was talking about, nigger
>>744559628let's talk about how patch notes bragged about fixing vehicle desync in multiplayer and it's exactly the same as previous builds and they didn't fix jack shit
>>744559509
>>744559568What settings do you guys use for your runs?I started playing on Apocalypse but after raiding three bookstores and not finding any carpentry skill books I decided to swap to sandbox just to change their spawn rate.
Did the tree fade thing always looked this cancer?
>>744559742You'd think they would allow for hot-swappable settings, but apparently that's too complicated for them to figure out.Not as if the game is massively long to grind in, and a single annoying setting can fuck it all up.>>744559769I basically tweak the game from being runescape permadeath with dayZ tier loot, to a singleplayer zombie action game which respects my time.
>>744559742downroad sandbox options mod desu
>>744559625... i said that anon claiming guns dont miss in b42 should turn on damage numbers and try again. then another anon said i was playing modded somehow? it doesnt follow so i assumed it was a misclick. was it not? how does that follow if not?
>>744551919Did you really just post an AI generated meme?
>>744559845nigger pajeet - you really think everyone playing is just not clicking on the head? You are using a firearm mod
>>744559941????????????
>>744550773do you still get bitten once then have to restart?
>13 years of early accesslollmao
>>744559827>dayZ tier lootIt's funny because you'd think for a game that prides itself on "realism" you'd be able to walk into a hardware store and find just ONE sledgehammer but nope.
>>744550773What changed? Is there anything to do after you established a base or is there still no mid-game?>>744550876>STILL NO NON-ZOMBIE NPCS!lol
Waiting for the anon who says you can never miss to post his workshop subscriptions btw
Any good mod collections?
>>744559906its so funny looking at people going AIIIEEEE AN AI GENERATED MOD meanwhile the actual devs used AI and are receiving massive praise
>>744559707i dont play multiplayer so i wouldnt know. i do know the unskipable photosensitivity warning needs to be skipable or removed by a mod like yesterday.
>>744558828I actually miss the old aiming system purely because of this. Beta blockers and leveling up aiming in general is pretty much useless in B42.
>>744559992HAHAHAHHAHA ALL THE SLEDGEHAMMERS ARE CANONICALLY INVISIBLE BECAUSE INGAME STOCK ITEMS SAY SO!HAHAHAHA ISN'T IT FUNNY THAT WE TAUNT YOU OVER OUR SHITTY LOOT SYSTEM IRONICALLY!???
>>744559992This, they should have never built the game around basic resource scarcity - everyone else got sick and died so quickly that your character should be absolutely swimming in supplies with minimal searching, to say nothing of non-perishable items like tools, which shouldn't have been meaningfuly affected at all. It's early 90s Kentucky, Canned beans, lighters, cigs and shotgun shells should practically be infinite, bursting from every glove box and couch cushion you search.
>>744560002Setting sprinter chance to just like 15% makes the game insanely hard to play, making stuff like this not possible.
>>7445600027 Days has a lot of problems but you can at least mow down a horde of zombies in your preferred style.
>>744560106What does that have to do with you posting an AI generated meme?
>>744560292based retard
>>744560002me playing cdda
>>744560326based retard
>>744560334based retard
cdda mogs the fuck out of this btw
>>744560270No, it doesn't. The gif will be the same you just won't pull as many.
>>744560248Leftists for some dumbass reason don't understand that less people=more resources, conversely they don't understand that more people=less resources>Just bring in infinite bomalians, we can feed them!>WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS MY VEGAN SALAD SO EXPENSIVE!? THE CHUDS DID THIS!
>>744560452no anon you cant leash them like that if their speed at which they move is faster than the speed you walk backwards, you will always be attacked first
>>744560452>I'm retardedThe few sprinters will catch up to you walking backwards making the tactic irrelevant.
>>744560452Sprinters have a unique grab ability and outrun you unless you're running rather fast. You can't really kite them.
>>744560498they understand it, they just only get upset when it affects them instead of the evil racist poors
i always play this game like i am legend with retard zombies in the day and full nightmare zombies at night desu
>>744560593Based i am legend chad
>>744560593Same
>>744560248>>744559992>>744560236>>744560498just turn up the loot in sandbox settings
>>744560697Oh I absolutely do, but on vanilla settings the game is outright retardedly balanced.
>>744560697
>>744560764>>744560742>Turn up loot>Infinite loot>Zero challenge>No npcs to challenge you
>>744560794The game has no challenge on default loot, it's just more tedious.I shouldn't have to scrounge through towns just to find a fucking club hammer. I shouldn't have to visit four gas stations and a liquor store just to find some cigarettes.I shouldn't have to go house to house consuming everything inside just to maintain another day of calories when fishing is so easy to fatmaxx.
unskipable photosensitivity warning btwno mods yet somehownot a peep on r*ddit even
>>744557991semi related, a mod with porn magazines that open similar to the b42 fliers
>>744560878but then the game becomes way too easy wiht all those tools at your disposal
>>744561010Ideally, this is where I could see NPCs being useful. Maybe you have to deal with scavengers while looting or your base gets attacked by marauders to even it out.
I like zombies. My tolerance for zombies is high. As far as I can tell from my Googling and watching of this game, there's no real goal other than "survive", and improving your character takes hours upon hours of menial tasksAm I wrong? It seems like a more complex Minecraft
>>744560943billions died prior to the warning
>>744561010The game is easy already, it's just tedious and doesn't respect your time.There is no mechanical difference between spending 30 minutes to find a hammer to build a chair, and spending 3 minutes.
>>744561010>doesnt play with extremely hard zombies
>>744561129There isn't any end-goal but 'survive' and the game is balanced like a hardcore runescape/WoW experience, you're expected to grind for IRL days or even weeks, but it's permadeath with no save/load function.
>>744561130:( oh noso i can didable is somewhere then yeah? i have seen it, acknowledged it, and will not be effected.
>>744561434The warning just replaces the loading screen, removing the message won't make it go any faster.
Bandit NPCs and lots of loot would make the game better.
>>744561539Just what the game needs, immortal zombie-immune randomly spawning hitscanners.
>>744561539download the bandit npc mod then retard
>>744561461what? oh the speed isnt the problem that it exists at all is the problem.
>the problem is that it exists at allok so mod it out yourself? retard
>>744561654Alt tab out for a minute?
>>744557521YEAH YOU WANNA GO OUT CUS ITS RAININ AND BLOWINYOU CANT GO OUT CUS YOUR ROOTS ARE SHOWIN
>>744561654>I'm brownWhy do you care? It's the exact same thing as the loading screen. Get a better PC and it'll be faster.
>>744550773>kinofies your zomboid experience
I still have no idea how this got so popularI mean the idea is cool, but gameplay wise it's just a jank mess
>>744560523>>744560548>>744560561Yeah that's why you pull less so it's only 1 sprinter. Even 2 is doable. My reply was to 15% sprinters not 100%. Hitting them still stuns them. It's still walk back while aiming and left click.
is base building still pointless? do zombers ever attack you like 7dtd horde nights?
>>744561935its the only one of its kind and for autists7daystodie is nothing like it despite the comparisons
>>744560270>>744560281>>744560331>game is all about just backpedaling combat>"just turn sprinters on bro">game is now all about hugging fences and half wallswow great combat lemmysprinterfags are the fucking worse
How do you fags play this boring slop?
>>744562059i have fun
>>744561741its funny you should bring this up because there doesnt actually exist a better pc lol but that doesnt matter here. i would like an option to disable the text from appearing on the screen. all other concerns are irrelevant.
>>744562059ERP
>>744561987i mean yeah I guess that makes sense
>>744562106post your chubby brown hand with timestamp giving a thumbs up in your favela
>>744562059Tweak the game into a singleplayer experience intended to be played for a week tops instead of IRL months and it's a lot more fun.
>>744561741hecking browns are ruining our photosensitive spaces
>>744562276>i'm far too brown to mod the game myselfwe know
>>744552041this gets funnier every time i read it
>still no NPCs>still no goal besides "just survive dude lmao"They should change the name to Project Zzzzzomboid
>>744562380try playing with 20 of your buddies
>>744562354i literally agreed with you my fellow aryan
>>744562380it's the Sims but with zombies
>>744561564Having played the Bandit NPC mod, only half of this is true.Even heavily armed bandits have a tendency to get overwhelmed if there's enough zombos for them to lure with their guns, because their AI is kind of trash. Also, they tend to get distracted by zombies if there are any around; preferring to shoot at those rather than you.What is true is that if the bandits spawn in the mode in which they know where you are, with nothing else around, they VILL either shoot you in the foot, which inevitably gets you limping and killed. Or first hitscan shot just outright kills you.But the worst thing is, if you do happen to take out all but one of that spawn group, with the remaining dude getting stuck somewhere for a time, there's no telling if at some point that guy re-emerges and shoots you dead later, because they never despawn unless killed by you or zombos.
>>744550773i got this on gog couple years ago, got bored and just didnt play it again, has anything changed? is there multiplayer?
>>744562498theres multiplayer and now basements n tall buildings n shiet
>>744562178im at work rn tho hiding out in the mcc room lol. im in what amounts to a feraday cage youll forgive the time discrepancy. next you can ask for my hwinfo if you want. youll get a few days old screenshot and will have to wait till 0800 eastern time for an updooted one.
>>744562563AAAND I FOUND YOUR INFO
>>744562603post info plox
>>744562563whoops its the third now. every night.... baka my head.
BUMPAROO!
>>744550773>S T I L L>T>I>L>LNo NPCs lmao. I head they updated alot of the towns on the map. How did they change West Point my beloved? The second floor residentials over the shops in the center of town was always an underrated base spot. They better not have ruined them.
>>744563462hey braphog
best gooner mods?
nothing else? i mean i know its uncouth to say "no u".... but like r u brown? or can we get back on topic?unskipable photosensitivity warning.
>>744563490are you brown?
>>744563505wait until you're home from work and mod it yourself? i already have it working for me, it's a few lines of code
I find it amusing that people still have no idea that non-explodingmicrowave/oven fires don't spread anymore.It's pretty safe to use molotovs in a city without burning it all down.
>>744563552erm actually its not. its built into the obfuscated jar. funny thing: they removed all the loose plain text jar files with 42.20. why would they do that i wonder?
>>744563812>why would they do that i wonder?They are planning on releasing the game on consoles, you cant' have loose files in console games or they'll shitcan you from the storefront.
>>744563534Not op but I am and I do also want to know
>>744563858that was a rhetorical question. thats the reason for the warning in the first place. but nobody will say so, and there has been a strange silence about it.
is the photosensitivity warning thing just schizophrenic paranoia over the game going "woke"? the devs are already fags bro
The game woulda been cool if it had paranormal creatures too like the michigan dogman or mothman, the jersey devil etc. such as in neo scavenger, maybe that appear later as months go by to keep things interesting
>>744564023no. i only want an option to stop the text from appearing on the screen. there is no other reason.
>>744564059mods are in that do that btw
>>744564085so make a mod that makes the screen black when its loading or puts an image over it so you dont have to see it lil zoomzoom
>>744564085Hack the java files then?
>>744564095Is there a mod that makes your mother rim my asshole?
>>744564127that would be fine if mods can load that early.
deaths because you thought you could get the ground attack off before the zombie 1m away could reach you: too manydeaths from literally anything else: 0
>>744564128member the part about obfuscation? i guess this is one of the parts that irks me so. why in the fuuuuuck isnt it easy to disable? it should be a toggle in the options after you see it once, barring that it should be an option in an external options file, barring even that it should be a simple piece of media, either an image or a video, that i could easily remove or edit. like why is it so hard baked into the game?
>>744564142Try rimworld
>>744564202they can bro
>>744564095There are mods that reskin zombies to look like other things. There are no mods that add actual different enemy creatures
>>744564908may i have the link?
>>744551395water is like a non-issue in this game when it shuts off. Every house has multiple faucets, tubs, and toilets. They need to add a evaporation mechanic or something to make it not so trivial.
>>744564976>I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HACK A GAME BESIDES MODDING WITH THE MODDING API / TOOLSgay ass nigga learn to code
>>744565456you can say the nigger word on 4chan my fellow white
>>744550773they added tall trees just so they could hide car wrecks behind them on the road
>>744550773Project same game for 45 years
Haven't played in 2yrsWhat did they added
>>744560002No, the game is still finished once you have a base in 20min and the rest of the time you are just doing random shit because might as well since you downloaded it
>>744565489brownest post award
>>744550773>WERE
>>744551079>>744554265I thought it was all about the rape mods.
/v/ is it to use debug mode to learn about how the game works and it mechanics? The tutorial was pretty shit and didn't explain how the game works...
>>744565456is that a no? you could just say so.
>>744566638Let me guess, they're the sort of AGP female pc getting raped by zombies sort?
>>744566862Keep debug mode on at all times, if only to prevent the game from fucking you over with bugs.
>>744550773still doesnt have bikes
>>744560002>Zomboid players be like 'this is the ULTIMATE zombie sim, they thought of everything, it's so realistic'
>>744566940What? I'm the one doing the raping. I rape NPCs. Weirdo.
>>744567149you're trying way too hard fag
They really should add endings, even if they're rare and hard to get.Just imagine.>after surviving for a while and surviving enough "events and triggers" to prove your base is stable, you get the settler ending>raid the military facility, find the recipe for a cure, craft it and get the salvation ending>raid the military facility, find a secret key to enter a room where you can nuke the whole county and you could even get an ultra rare ending for escaping the nuke in timeStagnation, boredom and frustration shouldn't be the endgame of a project you've been working for this long.That and make lifestyle mod a part of the game. Hell, there's so many cool mods they could integrate into the basegame.
>>744567149At least it's not CDDA where every time someone thinks of shit like this it gets nerfed and punished.
>>744550773>Another character dead because my fucking attacks kept going through a crawler and it held me in place long enough for a sprinter to kill me

>>744567809The game isn't designed for sprinters, don't be surprised you have a bad time with them
>>744567809Damn that sucks but at most you lost a dayYou are backing up your save, right? You're not one of those cucks who just takes the game's bullshit and lets it decide when you're done playing a character, right
>Zombification off>More severe normal infection mechanics, bleeding out and internal injury more dangerous>Sprinters>Howlers that make noise like a mobile car alarm if aggro'd>Smelly zombies that cause the nausea of 100 dead zombies that you are forced to deal with or run away from before you pass outwould this just be a different game at that point
>>744567978>You are backing up your save, right?You mean this?>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3721602150
>>744568880It is only a different game if you get NPCs because now you have actual shit to do. No I am not bitter, I am serious. Outside seeing the urban decay to get taken over by nature there isn't really anything to see after a while. At least CDDA has weird shit to challenge you with so you have motivation to do things, in Zomboid you just sit there and see if you can kill every person in the North America who now flocks to this one shitty town.
>>744569542Damn i wish i had this when i was playing before, i was copypasting folders like a pleb instead
It's inexcusable the game has no fucking save/load function. It's a singleplayer game!
>>744569626you did at least use robocopy or linux equivalent yeah? actually copying folders dude... saves can get upwards of 10gb of all small files! that would be hell on your dive. hope it wasnt an ssd lol
>>744569774Nope, just straight copypastingi started sweating bullets when i noticed the copying started taking longer and longer so instead of just pasting next to the actual save i started pasting into another disk..
Any gun repair/cleaning mods?
>>744560584This>What's the problem chuddie? Can't win in the job market against a sweatback who can't speak English but will work for quarter of your paycheck?>WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M BEING REPLACED BY AI AND INDIANS??!!!
>>744571003>Learn to code, chuddie!>WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN I NEED TO GET IN THE COAL MINE!???
>>744558816I think they shortened it quite a bit.
>>744567668The only reason shit like that isnt nerfed in zomboid is fixing it is too complicated for the devs.
>modders fix the game and add QoL stuff>devs are highly retarded and don't know how to do that
>>744573181The tragic thing is if they got their shit together instead of seething over a bruised ego Zomboid would turn into something that would've been so much more then it is now. At the small price of someone turning it into a Star Wars game.
>>744565143it wouldn't appreciably evaporate either, nor would it go bad - there's nothing in the water to eat, no sunlight, and most homes in the 90s have copper plumbing which kills bacteria and algaegenuinely if the water mains broke but everyone else was gone you could live for years off the water in everyone's hot water tanks and piping in their homes.
>add farming mechanics and skills tp support it>make crops take 180 irl hours to growWhat's the fucking point of adding that mechanic if you don't want people to use that mechanic Lemmy?
>>744573792The times to harvest are so comically long that you can make them 20 times faster and it's still frankly too fucking long.
>>744573792Lemmy just wants everyone to become a fisherman.
>>744573869>Catch a bunch of small fish>Magically character can catch 'legendary' fish that will make you obese in short orderLMAO
>>744551053Cute boy
>>744573892>forge 1200 forks>magically now proficient in smithing katanas
>>744573892SOVLFUL arcade mechanics.Struggling with a big fish makes me feel something.
>>744573959>There are guys in America right now making swords from steel bars and forges made out of satellite dishes and leafblowers>Our dumbass characters can't make a sword unless they're a near-master of blacksmithing
>Rabbits have more calories than entire cowsWhat the fuck is Lemmy smoking?
>No wiring, and no plumbing mechanic yet>Instead, they focus on meme minecraft skills instead building basic infrastructure using scavenged materials
>>744574006Well this is the best chair a Professional carpenter can make in Zomboid so yeah, every player character is as retarded as the dev team
is multiplayer still a massive pain in the fucking ass?
>>744574192All they have to do is give professions a fuckload of skillpoints (level 7+)You should have the very deliberate choice of 'start with no skills but more trait points, or start with good skills but less trait points'It's not that fucking hard god damn. Why is my professional lumberjack barely able to use a fucking axe?
>>744550773>foid>moid>now ZomboidGod I hate zoomers on 4chan so much
>>744574216Public multiplayer definitely. They still haven't patched in frens for everyone.
>>744574229>Professional lumberjack with superhuman strength and fitness can swing an axe twenty times before needing to take a breakNow I see why there's a five year break between patches
>>744574273i just want to play with my friend who bought me the game but last time we tried it was aids and gay
>>744574287Those axes are fucking heavy, Lemmy tried swinging one once and he was out of breath. He translated that to a super bodybuilder managing twenty swings tops.
If I can't get controller aiming to work I'm not going to play.
>>744574309Damned shame.Make sure you've allocate a ton of ram in ProjectZomboid64.jsonIt's crazy the default is only like 3000mb
>>744574409Use a fucking mouse and keyboard you cretin.
>>744574442Mouse and keyboard is an absolutely awful way to play. This game was meant to be be played on a controller and was max comfy on B41. Now you can't even aim at zombies.
>>744574598>This game was meant to be played on a controllerOkay now I get it, you're fooling around lmao. That's a good one.
>>744574631Full 360 degree movement and aiming, better menus, faster looting between tabs, better driving, can sit with your feet up and play. It was fully functional in B41
>>744574759The joke doesn't work if you keep on pretending, come on lets be serious now.
>They completely fucked up stuttering while driving due to extra caching to make non-driving have higher FPS...
>>744574006>forges made out of satellite dishes and leafblowersGreat episode of Forged in Fire >Some guy has a workshop with $40k worth of equipment >Loses to some Flip with satellite dish forge in his tiny backyard
>>744575219That is exactly what I was referencing lmao.
fuck lemmy and his scam "game"CDDA.
anyone got a pottery base up?
>>744562059its better with friends
Does this game have a genuine suicide option? Like shotgun mouthwash option
>>744576061you can drink bleach
>>744576103Sounds like something you'd misclick
>>744571650i downloaded 41 just to see if maybe i had blocked out the memory of it being there too but no, its not. what do you mean they shortened it? its only existed for 1 (one) update!
>>744576103It doesn't kill you tho. You can survive it with a lemongrass
>The game seriously expects you to kill hundreds of zombies with firearms just to get level 1 aiming>In a game where zombies often take more than 1 bullet to kill and entire police stations have 200 rounds of ammoSo...You're expected to loot every police station on the map, just to have a chance of getting to level 3 aiming?
>>744576650The game expects you to imcrease the Global XP Multiplier to 10 or to debug your skills to 7+, that's how the fucking devs do testing afterall
>>744576650Yeah.Sorry.t. Knapper, hard R
>>744576723>>744576725I just don't get it, there physically isn't enough ammo to actually gain aiming skill, what the fuck is going on?
>>744576754>I just don't get it, what the fuck is going on?This is the core philosophy behind every single design choice made in this game
>>744576754I'd say they are noguns but they put in so many unnecessarily accurate details that I can only chalk it up to unrealistic expectations.
i bought this game 15 years ago on Desura and still haven't played it, lel. Is it finally finished? is it good?
>>744576754Wait for bows and crossbows. LOL
>>744576921I wouldn't give a shit about low amounts of ammo if aiming levelled up quickly.But you can use an entire town's worth of ammo and MAYBE gain a level. And that's a maybe.
>>744576976So in character creation when you select a perk that gives you +1 to a skill like aiming, you see that +75% xp modifier it gives, right? Well in reality it's 300% xp gain because the devs are retards, so you better have a starting build that gives xp bonuses to the skills you want to raise.Second, you need to read a relevant book before you start leveling a skill. If you want to raise Aiming from 0 to 1, you fucking better scrounge through every hunting store, library and school for that elusive Aiming 1 book, sit down on your ass, watch the green bar fill, THEN you can start leveling the skill.After that you just need to find all the rest of the Aiming books and rinse and repeat! Isn't it fucking fun gameplay!
>>744577218That's just retarded though, the XP gain is so low that without books, it might as well not even be a thing.And with books it is still glacially slow!
>>744577260And that's why you set the Global XP Rate to 10x
>>744577218Still don't understand the reasoning for needing a book. Just because a book tells you that you are doing it wrong doesn't mean you magically avoid picking up bad habits trying to do X, Y, or Z.
I decided to play yesterday, and finding stones is super rare now. You find a lot of trash and various kinds of useless stones, but it's impossible to survive in the wild now just by gathering normal stones and flints and crafting spears for fishing.Now I believe you need to build a more "complex" base to give yourself a 100% chance of surviving in the wild.
>>744577524B42 stones are best collected via grabbing 'large stones' pre-placed on the map, and smashing them with a hammer to get 10 stones out of each large stone.
>>744550773did they release a big update or how come it has suddenly risen from the dead?
>>744577616B42 'stable' has released.And yes, despite being labelled as 'stable' it has more bugs than before.
>>744577569I didn't know that. The problem, then, is that you might run out of stones in that area after a while. Unless there's a way to make infinite tools some other way (with those new crafting options), just staying by a river won't be enough to survive indefinitely anymore.
>Install cheat mod or turn on debug mode>Max all skills>???>Become a blast haver
>>744577679You will run out of pre-placed stones in a given area, but you can always forage for more.Stones are most commonly found on roads for some fucking reason, not in the middle of the woods.Meanwhile if I want to find stones, the woods is FULL OF THEM in real life.
>Fully leveled foraging>Suddenly start finding tons of huge boulders on the roads
Since ammo is finite and you can't find more of it, would it be better to enable loot respawn? This game has so many glaring fundamental problems, might as well treat this game as zombie horde clearing game instead of hardcore survival game. Also why can't the devs add saves?
>>744577860It's so fucking retarded lmao. Who would've thought that Kentucky roads are full of 40 kilogram boulders!
>>744577893Never turn on loot respawn, just turn up loot amounts.
>>744577893Is it even possible to run out of ammo realistically? Usually one of the firest places I'll look is that army surplus store or guns unlimited and walk out with more ammo than I could ever use.
>>744557521reminder that even 6'8 peter steele with a large dick was cheated on by his long term gf.
>>744577893The idea behind the game is that you're going to die sooner or later, and your role is simply to try to figure out ways to survive as long as possible. Even so, there are several ways to settle in a safe place and secure an endless supply of water and food, at which point you'll probably consider youwon the game.
>>744578053>Is it even possible to run out of ammo realistically? B42 Stable nerfed ammo amounts by like 10x...
>large population>highest gun and ammo settings>spawn with guns (because kentucky)yeah, its zomboid time
>>744550773>zombie game>look inside>anti-gun propaganda and green bar-filling simulator
>>744576245it's that one from the offset. that's what I meant. last.
>>744578053t. Never been to Louisville There is not enough ammo in every single army checkpoint and gunstore combined to get into Louisville let alone try to clear any of it.The population of that area alone is around 35k zombies
Shame zomboid didn't copy cdda's theme more instead of going with the bland zombie theme. Game dries up the second you clear out a small area to live in
>>744575896Yeah. In vintage story. A far better game.
>>744575046there is no way this is going to be acceptable on consoles.
>>744578804>Everyone's going to crash their car all the timeThat might make them buff cars for once!
>>744578837thats not what i mean, i can drive around fine, its just stuttery on an almost supercomputer. its going to god awful on consoles.
>>744579064Works on my x3d cpu just fine. Serves you right for buying intelaviv
>>744579698You probably shouldn't need a top of the line CPU for a fucking isometric sprite game. Just saying.
Are curtains broken? I spent the entire day inside in anticipation of the helicopter but I'm sure it must have seen me because it was very close by the entire time it was around. Also feels like zombies have been able to see me through curtains as well
>>744573650https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LegionellaYeah it's an AI screenshot, but there are a lot of dangerous bacteria that do not need sunlight to just start festering in still water.
>>744579698i bet that usually works and most of the time you would be right but not this time. if you've been to /g/ lately and seen some schizo telling everybody they should get a blackwell 6000 and a 9950x3d2, thats me.
>>744555726name it
>>744580290>Trolling outside of /b/
>>744578054Dang, well that makes me feel a little better cause I'm not an übermensch and I'm ok with that
>>744580354>Claim game is bad>Literally isn't>The update actually fixed the draw call problem>You are just an idiot on a 2008 netbookLet me guess. UE5 is bad as well? Are the bad game engines in the room with us?
>>744581372Zomboid is not a great game.
Any mod to move and consolidate all corpses to one spotI remember there was one in B41, but I can't find it for B42
>>744567518This but make it random. Make the items hard to find and it changes where it is each time you start a new game and make them ambiguous. That way player wont know what they found and if they did they would still need to figure out what to do on their own. Maybe make 1 ending hard coded to always be the same.
>>744580172>boil water before consumingDoesnt seem impossible.
>>744581372i wasn't joking when i said "almost supercomputer" anon.
Nothing personal kid*teleports behind you*
Project Zomboid would be better as multiplayer Sims game given the amount of map detail.
>>744578689The consumer is always right in matters of taste, some people like the cdda style, some hate it. But I can't get over how thin zomboid is in terms of mechanics, content. Because let's say you strip cdda down to Romero and mobile, and force real turn time- you can, that's a 15 minute setup, and even stripped down CDDA is still a better game.
>>744581975Isn't that what it already is?
>loot 100s of zombies>gas stations, car glove boxes, houses and offices>not a single pack of cigarettesThe dev's mega balancing autism about this trait being "free points" so they made cigarettes rarer than rolex watches but still nerfed the trait itself into meme tier uselessness
zomboid is absolute proof that dumbass devs must be ceaselessly bullied until they give up and let other more competent people develop their game. even if it takes decades, it must be done.
are mods getting updated though? I won't touch this game without a long list of mods to fix virtually every aspect
>>744583206i haven't ran into any problems that made me wanna download a mod to bypass it, not yet at least, vanilla is pretty good now
for me it's max zombie population and no respawningi will clear kentucky of the living dead
>>744582938Apparently one of the developers REALLY hates tobacco, he had a huge melty in the /vm/ Zomboid general thread.
>shitty update that has been cooking for over 5 years >even if everything they wanted was added, still would have been a shitty hydrocraft update, cant even get all that you promised into this stupid update >changes nothing to the core gameplay loop >only adds stupid minecraft skills and some shitty cows >nothing to fix combat, zombies, mid or endgame or the other half assed mechanics such as the calorie system or med system >procgen map after promising everything is hand-made >doesnt matter to the gamers, get rewarded with it and showered in more millions of dollars gamers are retarded, or did indiestone somehow manage to gaslight everyone into thinking something like this is acceptable via suppression and censorship through all social media platforms?
>>744582938kek, all i can find is chewing tobacco and cigs, even cigars sometimes
>>744574069Dont know why this update is causing more people to buy it. Literal nothing-burger update and it makes the game even more popular. Ridiculous.
>>744583883it's cause of the reworking of all towns, normals are drawn to newer and better (in terms of looks) buildings in open world games.
YOOOOOOOOOOhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3776797676
41 or 42?
>>744581772Is that CDDA? Is there a general consensus on what is the current best fork/version to play? Haven't tried it yet.
>>744585879How much autism do you have and how much do you like getting kicked in the dick?Main Fork (CDDA) Has all sorts of granular autism nonsense like your inventory being divided into the individual pockets and compartments of your clothing and bags and having sub-proficiencies that can be fun, but is overall a slower, grindier experience because it is developed by people who seem to have an open contempt for their players, it's also a strictly modern setting, with futuristic things like Bionics locked to some shitty OC faction where the only ones you can communicate with sound like a 1940s British cockney with a head injuryBright Nights conversely abstracts things like the inventory, minor proficiencies (if you want to make a leather jacket, you only need the tailoring level for it, not the level as well as proficiency in leather craft, garment closures, and waterproofing), and nutrition, while having more focus on player experience and the game side of things rather than the simulation side, so if you've got a lot of meta knowledge its easy to get strong fast, even with a suboptimal character. It's also a near future setting so things like commercial bionics are available.At the end of the day it's a matter of preference, I enjoy both versions depending on my mood, even if the CDDA devs are the biggest retards imaginable, the fork is, currently, still good in spite of that
im unironically having a blast why does nobody post their base though?
>>744550773did 42 add anything that's really worth coming back for?
>>744587262Reworked aiming system, you can actually hit things with lvl 0 aiming. Bullets go where you aim like that trajectory mod but better.
>>744557521>6'8">220 poundsActual hollow human being
>>744587148can't get into the base part i keep dying after looting a bunch and getting a car
>>744559437wow its almost as if these retards are fucked in the head huh anon
>>744587337How does the cross hair even work?Its design makes it seem like you are only gonna hit when they are already in melee distance but if you shoot from afar while the crosshair is still wide you'll hit your shot
>>744587148my """""base""""""""""""""""""""""""""
>>744586559>How much autism do you have and how much do you like getting kicked in the dick?I play Zomboid, UnReal World, Battle Brothers, Dwarf Fortress, My Summer Car, etc. If thats any indicator of my autismo lvl. Do the devs of the main branch have the same level of contempt for their community as the 7 Days devs? Would you recommend the main branch for a first time playthrough or do the devs make schizo changes all the time just because?
>>744587451So far it seems to me that the red area in the center is where the bullet most likely will land. You can actually hit from very far away from what I've noticed, even with something like a pistol or revolver.
>>744587517And you gotta bar right next door. Nice.
>>744587148I wanna find somewhere like this that has it all, well for water, piers for fishing, pens for animals, areas for forging, gated and defensible and most of all comfy but this place is TOO big
>>744587451Ignore the crosshair, the center point is where the bullet always goes, you have 100% accuracy.
I still don't know what caused the zombie virus
>>744587843It was me.
>>744587716You just have to fence off two areas near the water to make it safe, and once you clear out the area you are pretty much safe. Even on insane pop count you'll be fine. Pro tip, make sure to put a wall up next to the stairs indoors so you don't accidentally vault over them when running around inside.
>>744556801i have the shitdows bug that breaks sleep, the system never boots up from it and so im forced to shut down every night.
>>744587843Fauci created it in a lab.

Any mod that overhauls the medical/health system? I want to be able to play as a doctor and have a more in-depth treatment system for me and my friends.
>>744587148My base from my last CDDA challenge run.

>>744559319Put "-debug" into the launch parameters, then when in your save use the debug menu to change the sandbox options. Make sure to turn off, invincibility/invisibility/unlimited carry, etc before turning off debug.

100k is like a nothingburger these days.
>>744587716There is that farmhouse near a lake with pier on Ekron outskirts. A livestock enclosure in the forest. Great place, not too big either. It's next on the road.
For me its>Bite transmission only>Way more zombies>Extremely low loot
>>744589389Bite transmission is still just asking for RNG to fuck you over.>Lol whoops zombie attacking you from the front, through three layers of clothing?>Bite!Just turn infection mortality to 'never', it makes bites dangerous but not 100% lethal.
>infection transmission: saliva only
>sandbox>non-lethal infection>map full unlocked from the start>ammunition abundantYeah its gaming time
>>744551053There's a mod for it on loverslab
>>744573792Nerfed farming makes no sense. I could get more calories from fishing in 1-2 days from fishing. Or a few days foraging. Im pretty sure you can forage random fruits and vegetables on the ground 10x faster than you can manually grow crops.
>>744587148Dog shit cleaning bandits that still appear every week or so. You'd think -60°C would keep them from leaving their houses, but no. Gotta shoot up the local hobo living in the storage units.
>>744573650It's generally not a good idea IRL to drink from the hot water tap. As hot water heaters age, they start becoming a breeding ground for bacteria, or worse. That's why when you make tea or coffee, you take water from the cold water tap and boil it, not from the hot water tap.
>>744589553>it's another when you die you get raped modWhere's the mod that let's me keep a chained zombie sex slave?
how's the performance nowadaysI remember this used to run pretty bad
>>744587637Most of the autism from main fork will be planning and logistic related. In BN if you want a steel longsword, you need the fabrication level and the recipe from a book, as well as the relevant tools and ability to set aside a few hours to make it, although you can stop and come back to a craft. In DDA, to make that sword you'll need the fabrication level and recipe, but you'll also need to have trained your proficiency in several aspects depending on the quality of the steel you want to use, ranging from a piece of junk you wonder why you wasted time on to a masterwork weapon, as well as budgeting time over several days to a week due to a longer crafting time and the weariness system preventing long haul crafting interrupted by breaks for food and water
>Rosewood fire station was always meta if you chose Rosewood>Give it three floors, roof access and huge pond
>>744590125Runs like pure shit when driving, which when paired with the tall trees they added, makes driving on the highway dangerous as fuckTheres constant stuttering and frame issues making me hit zombies so often my cars are getting fucked4070ti super + 7800x3d + 32gb ram
The game is way too fucking easy, opened up the wiki and had a full kit and made a base in military
>>744591650You need to manually change the memory/ram allocation. By default it only uses 2GBs so Kahlua/Java's garbage collector can't keep up. Changing it to 8-12gbs if you can spare it helps.
I've been using the bandit mod but so far I haven't seen any. I've heard gunshots but I don't know if that is just a meta event or the mod it's self but it's making my a little paranoid
Okay fags who actually enjoy the game, any actual non-shitpost criticisms you have about the game that aren't enough to break it for you but do drive you up the fucking wall?For me it's the entire UI, I can't put it into words but everything about it is wrong and I have no fucking clue on how one would fix it without cluttering up with 50000 keybinds or throwing it all in the dumpster and starting from scratch.

>>744591650Did you forget to edit the ini file and feed the game more ram?
>>744592498I love this pasta, a true classic
>>744590494I don't mind tedium if its rewarding in progression, but not tedium for the sake of it. So if its not too terrible then I might like the main fork more. I have no frame of reference other than Zomboid but BN sounds like its closer to Zomboid in its progression.
>>744592324>>744592641wow thanks anons. i did do a steam command to give it 12gb ram but apparently the command i used doesnt even worktried another and now it runs fine loli figured cos everyone says performance is shit, that was what they were talking about
>>744593790What method did you use?
>have a good save going on a vanilla apocalypse playthrough>clear muldraugh pd>remember too late that ammo basically doesn't exist on default settings>get 7 boxes of ammo>have to make a new save again just to make loot make sensei should get mods too but i really hate getting those red errors when I check the mod list in game and everything I want usually has those
>>744593790No worries anon. Just bear in mind, if you went with changing the batch files for the game you'll have to make those changes again after a major game update. I'd save those values somewhere in a document so you don't forget if you end up sticking with the game a lot.
>>744576965Very cool, Anon, but that's nothing.
>>744594891NPCs in TWO MORE WEEKS
>thirsty>take a sip of rainwater>poisoned and die
why can't /v/ into actual video games like Doom Eternal and Project Zomboid, is it a legit skill issue? do all you spastics just watch videos on yellow paint and then watch dark souls speedruns and think you're top shit then try to play games and utterly fail.
>>744595874Fuckoff and die Lemmy I'm not willing to relearn your half baked tech demo
For those who play online, do you also have the problem of waking up in the middle of the night for no reason?
>>744596034
>>744596063yeah probably fiddle with settings and enable tiredness its off by default because if you have 20 people all playing at different times and you can only sleep if everyone is sleeping at the same time it wouldn't work but you can sleep again and again and again until its when you want to wake up (just move to wake up)
>>744550773What's different about this update?
>>744596362everything
>>744596362I'm playing with my online boyfriend and nothing is out of sync with 200+ ping and there is pottery
>>744562563your thumb looks like a toe
>>744593715DDA is the poster child for tedium for the sake of tedium.
>>744593715NTA but while main branch CDDA has its issues, it's a load of fun and rewarding. If you can figure out and enjoy dorf and its systems, you can figure out CDDA. That said, I usually play it with a save because I'm a coward
Is it worth it to burn bodies? I just cleared the firehouse and have way too many dead zeds to bury and don't know what to do with them.
>>744551919None of the best gun mods are updated for stable yet
>>744597242yes it is, otherwise you'll get infected by just being around too many dead zombies. be careful to not burn your base down though
>>744596525>I'm playing with my online boyfriendOf course you are.
>>744551445Posts like these really don't help foster a positive community, you know.
>just get back into dorf fort>B42 stable releasesfml
A long time ago some beautiful fucker here made a body mod. Big tits and ass. It clips a little bit with some pants and skirts. Anyone know modeling enough to fix it?https://files.catbox moe/n4tpv8.fbxhttps://files.catbox moe/5ydeo0.txt
This game would be based as fuck if I could just pick all the strong perks without taking any negative ones. Is that possible?
>>744598420Just play sandbox and give yourself a billion trait points
>>744596362nothingsame as it was 10+ years ago
>>744596362They added npcs (chickens)
>>744551079This game is only fun when Im watching a 100 man multiplayer gimmick run though
>>744596362They added pottery
>>744578689I think this is why they started dedicating so much time to all the grug crafting shit. Adding complicated things like NPCs or vehicles or other enemy types is just too hard for them, it's easier to add more crafting bloat to go more in the direction of minecraft.
>>744591746That's how it tends to be when you read the wiki and don't bother learning the game yourself
are there any good NPC mods like the discontinued Knox Event Expanded?i want my custom waifu Jill Valentine to follow me into the horde
>>744597708Moving twenty zombies into one big pile was actually a way bigger pain in the ass than I thought it would be. Also, are the devs stupid? Bodies don't just turn into ash when lit on fire was gasoline unless they're in a cremation furnace or something.
>>744586559I've been playing TGL but it's also the first time I've given this game a real try, so I wouldn't really know how it compares to those twoThe dev of that fork is throwing updates up once or twice a week, so it seems pretty active
TELL ME ABOUT PERKSWHICH ONES DO I SNEED WHICH ONES DO I KEEP
>>744601296I meant to post "TLG"https://github.com/Cataclysm-TLG/Cataclysm-TLG/
It's amazing how almost nothing about this game has changed since b41, and it's still insanely boring after a few hours.
>>744601440but bro they have cows and shitty procgen towns now!
>>744600715not really. they're all really hackey and buggy. there is no real "NPC" functionality yet, so they just make zombies and basically try and code out the zombie behavior.
>>744600723If you don't have it there is a mod to increase the body drag speed. It doesn't mitigate fatigue obviously but it does make it better, especially for clearing roads.
>>744596809Fair, I know it can be a bit nuanced because everyone's take on tedium has different degrees of definition in terms of how they find it rewarding. But I'll take this into account.>>744597192No judgement here for keeping a save. But I'll keep the feedback in mind.Thanks anons.
>>744601505Honestly at this point I don't even want NPCs in zomboid, I just want a colony simulator rip-off of zomboid based around small rimworld-sized colonies of maybe 15 or less. I don't even see anything good coming from them finally adding NPCs because they'll end up spending the next decade trying to make them functional. Fuck man, how is there not a single zombie colony sim besides shit ass state of decay, and invisible strain which doesn't even have real cities? Lame :/
>>744559319Real answer: put on a respirator. They're pretty common in garages and industrial zones now.
>>744601557it's a shame the KEE dev trooned out and deleted everything. xis mod was pretty good
>>744600723Antisemitic goy post
>>744550773it should be an MMO
>>744601557Project Humanoid was good. The devs hired that modder and made him delete the mod.Knox Event Expanded was approaching the level of Project Humanoid. Then the dev will full modder tranny drama and deleted the mod because they weren't appreciated or some shit
>driving full speed down the freeway>hit a rat>it completely totals my engine
>>744601327Don't fall for the meme of smoker being free points I got this shit and in a week finding virtually zero smokes (I found 1 cigar on a table and one pack with 2 cigars in a car)
Is there a way to change sandbox settings in a already existent save and will it fuck with my game if i change loot rarity? Fuck those rare loots
>>744550773FOTM shit. The update is a whole lot of nothingburger.Fucking blacksmithing and pottery, farming and animals. All of which are only useful if you're playing on a long-run playthrough which goes against project zomboid as a whole. Because not only the game wants you to die one week in, but also because after you survive for more than two weeks the game becomes stale and stupidly boring. Like ok cool i didn't die two weeks in and now i'm playing a crappy stardew valley.The only meaningful update here is the visuals and no more than that, which SHOULD NOT TAKE FUCKING YEARS after B41.I'll give it couple weeks or months before people realize that B42 really is just a big fucking nothingburger that bricked most mods and then the hype dies down.
>>744606618>fotm...for 14 years and 168 months I guess
>>744606537there's a mod called Sandbox Settings or something like that that lets you customize an already existing save. i never had trouble using it.it might take a reload or a game restart to apply everything correctly though.
>>744555501You have not ever needed armor in zomboidthe way the 'armor' works in the first place is retarded.
>>744606618it amazes me how this 14 years work in progress early access shit still has mostly positive ratings on steam. this game is a fucking scam.and they even raised its price after the update KEK
>want to play PZ because i really love the idea>the crafting is absolutely the worst part of it and it's a big dealgood lord manare there any mods that make crafting more fun/engaging and not a retarded UI box galore?
>>744560002They haven't done a single thing to improve the survival pressure in the game and I don't think they ever will. The low hanging fruit is a combo medical-exposure system like casualties unknown has (so the devs have a literal blueprint to work with here) and I don't think they are willing to do it. They'll just keep it the same retardo shit that it is right now forever.However, you can at least still prevent zomboid looking like your webm by increasing the sprinter speed and % chance of appearing.That's my preferred way to play:Sprinters: 20%Sprinter speed: Faster than jogging, slower than sprintingGuns: All of themYou either have a gun to fight a horde like that, and enough ammo to kill them and the other hordes you attract, or you sneak through areas. You don't get to just slowly wipe out giant hordes.
>dogshit skill progression>retard TV watching mechanics>dogshit car mechanic mechanics>1 bite and youre out mechanic>invincible zombies in a universe where flesh rots and keeps walking thus you'd just be able to push it over and see its skull collapse into the pavement but nooo they RUUN now??? THEY RUN NOW!
>>744582938yeah cigarettes are gold in B42, its fucking dumb
>>744561010Which is what people are trying to tell you.Zombies don't present a credible threat (especially not on default settings) and survival isn't meaningfully (let alone interestingly) difficult with greater scarcity, it's just more tedious.Default zomboid without mods and without changing gameplay settings, is focused on being easy but tedious, which is great for the low IQ dregs who need their hand held everywhere, but it's awful as an actual game. You ever play a shooter where the dev team is full of incompetent morons who don't play shooters (starfield, star citizen), so they make enemies into bullet sponges and the controls are goofy as fuck without an inkling of a clue what a TTK is or how it influences game design? That's what zomboid is like.They have no fucking idea what they're doing with the game or how to balance or direct it. It's like a game developed by an AI. Things that 'sound good on paper' but are just a mishmash of mechanics that don't fit the rest of the game, and it's something you see with human development teams when they're totally fucking clueless about the genre and also dispassionate and careless and so don't care to even learn.Now, I'll say that the zomboid team is actually pretty clearly more passionate about the game than the lefty retard dev teams I've seen, but it's like a handful of competent people each doing their own thing without cohesive thought behind it - just like a game developed by an AI.The team needs direction from someone who has a fucking clue and actually likes this kind of game and knows where he wants to take it.Until that's the case they're just going to keep adding random shit on top of random shit that doesn't affect anything.
>>744583735>he had a huge melty in the /vm/ Zomboid general thread.qrd? proofs?
>>744561935It's basically a multiplayer friendslop The Sims (with zombies) game.It's popular because of the cooperative multiplayer (which is why the decision to drop mp for an entire release cycle could only have been imagined as a good idea by an absolute fucking retard)
>>744608643The vast majority of people playing Zomboid play it solo
>>744564329It's not even ground attack explicitly, it's ground attack at fences/windows because if you don't get the timing/distance just perfect (and the game is fucking jank so sometimes it just doesn't even matter) then the zombie on the ground does its sluggy speedrun at you and causes a 3 second stun that gets you killed by other zombies.But I learned very quickly how to deal with this: Do not ground attack at fences and windows unless it's otherwise safe around you that the stun won't get you killed.
>>744608742then why the fuck did the game hit new peaks when they re-introduced multiplayerhow does that make sensewhy is the only long running zomboid thread in fucking /vm/
>>744574006You could make an aluminum or steel sword using some metal cutting tools and some sheet metal/any of the billion cars left laying aroundI really don't get why they went so crazy over this crafting stuff and then pretend like there aren't a billion and one ways to craft everything by ripping the relevant materials out of existing things and repurposing it.
>>744576921No, it's because the decision making part of the dev team is a fucking retardThey hired a guy who likes guns to do gun stuff, so you get gun autismbut he doesn't get to change the loot settings so that every house has a rifle and 50 rounds of ammo like everyone in kentucky actually had in real lifethat isn't because he doesn't understand how common guns were in kentucky, but because whoever's in charge of zomboid's direction/overal design is a fucking retard that decided firearms MUST be scarce end-game weapons for no reason besides he's a fucking idiot
>>744608643Bro 80% of the players play solo. The dev confirmed this themselves. They tried to fix the MP branch because thats the only way the game will keep a long term player base but the failed to add any long game events or objectives>You can become a chicken farmer!Err zombies?
>>744600715I wont be satisfied until the in depth dynamic The Walking Dead tier NPCs Lemmy promised are coded, the kind that totally mog all role-playing games before it, he really promised the moon with that blog
>>744609516link to the confirmation?this better not be a fucking MrAtomicDuck poll
>>744589586Well the thing about growing crops is that it's the best way to feed 10,000 people quickly and easily because you can't as easily manage that calorie requirement on fish, deer, and berries. It's a difference in scale and efficiency. Hunter-gatherer works best at low population sizes, while agriculture works best at high population sizes.Agriculture also has the benefit of storing better long term so that makes it good over wintering periods, which is a big benefit even for hunter gatherers.But for the most part, it would never make much sense to actually grow your own farm for food in zomboid. Maybe as a supplement to a diet of fish/meat from wild game at best, and mostly as a 'just in case' kind of stash for when you don't want to fish or hunt.It's kind of silly that it's even in the game at all. A game where you are expected to survive like a couple weeks, and where it takes hundreds of hours of playtime to go through most of a year, there's no point even bothering with farming mechanics except for autism/retardation reasons.
>sprinters: all>zombie hp: low>zombie damage: low>zombie population: insane>gun/ammo spawns: high>all item spawns: high
>>744608742You are the retard I was talking about, I assume
>>744608983b41 wasn't just multiplayer, it was a big visual and mechanically update too. Also multiplayer made it so streamers would play it which made it viral
>>744560292pointing out a copout to lazy soulless devs is not an excuse in-of-itself to start posting ai art but you got him there so that's that
>>744607483zoomers fell for it like we didwill be fun to read them in 5-10 years
>>744609516>Bro 80% of the players play solo.And 80% of their sales came in after they introduced mpThis is not hard to figure out, jesus fucking christThe main appeal and the reason everyone is coming back to the game is because of the multiplayerThen people casually play singleplayer in addition to that because it's low pressure and can be done at any time/place without organizing something with friends.If you cannot figure this out, you are a fucking retard, full stop.
>>744610316Nobody is playing this update for stardew valley crafting bullshitthey are playing the update because it brought multiplayer back, you fucking imbecile
>>744596362
The worst thing about this game is the crafting.
>>744610316>>744609516>most people are playing singleplayer>people just want the new graphics and craftingThen why weren't "most people" playing those updates with the new graphics and crafting, but without the multiplayer?Why did the player population only explode once the multiplayer came back?This isn't a hard one anon, you can figure it out
New update looks crazy.
>>744554959>AI sloppa images
>>744610650https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=34297908709000% improvement in the character models
>>744610851i tried using this and it was glitchy as fuck
>>744610650booba
>>744610914That's because you are a retard who can't readyou have to load and activate the mod into the game then quit and restart the game for it to actually load because zomboid doesn't let you swap the player model during runtime
>Everyone shitting on zomboid from dumb shit from years ago>No one shitting on dumb recent shit like making farming worthless since crops take 3+ months to finish or the constant profession nerfs for some fucking reason Come on anons
>>744550773>by the time you're engaging with 80% of the rp mechanics and skills the game has zombies and loot aren't even a concern anymore I don't get it, you could very well just never do anything except kill zombies and loot and survive forever while never interacting with all the shit they added
Any good sus mods, lads? I don't care about the sex mods, I just want shit that's nice to look at. Already got>>744610851
>>744550773I just tried this out after letting it stew in my library for a decade and so far I've>walked a bit, decided a random house will be my base>hoarded whatever food and water I could find>read skill books>killed some zombiesI kinda like how it's basically just a gritty The Sims but I'm not feeling the squeeze.
>>744587148what difficulty do you play?
>>744611117Farming shouldn't even be a thing in the game to begin withNobody cares about it because nobody is farming shit, the same as the crafting could be completely gutted and as long as a few things like sheet ropes, wooden barricades, and baseball bats were unaffected nobody would give a fuckbecause this isn't a farming and crafting game, it's a zombie survival simulatorOh you want food? Go to safeway and pick some upOh you want tools? Go to home depot and pick some upOn the way you can kill some zombies (or get killed) and actually engage with the point of the game
>>744611249I just sort mods by most popular in the past 3 months or 1 year and download what looks good
>>744587148Because I still haven't started on it. Been looking for a sledge to hopefully take down that scaffold...
>>744611293Once you're set up all the tension evaporates. It's been like this for 14 years now.You either go full sims and decorate your base, or you start downloading mods and tweaking settings to try and reintroduce some struggle and challenge.Try doing a nomad run where you travel from town to town and sleep in a camper. That's the most fun I've been able to have with the game so far (you'll have to get mods for this though)
>>744611731Farming used to work perfectlyWas a little bit of work but you get an insane amount of food every 2 weeks.Now its pointless.Its doubly baffling because like 4 chickens will make nearly 50 eggs a day so its not like they did it because farming was OP.
>>744612165The ethos of Zombiod is REALISM GOOD only when it hinders the player.
i just can't get into this game, the fact that there are no npcs, the fact that you are the ONLY survivor left just triggers my autism. all of the complex mechanics and survival is useless
>>744586559The problem with CDDA is that there are no animations, both you and the zombies are just cardboard cutouts moving around the map. It's too ugly
>>744612268Well too bad you're likely going to have to wait a decade for NPCs. PZ's core audience has changed, it's first and foremost a multiplayer slop game now for normies and streamers. Play 7DTD if you want something with satisfying singleplayer
>>744550773every time i try to play this i get overrun by zombies and die within 3 minutes
>>744612268To be fair, you have to have a very low IQ to enjoy Project Zomboid.
>be smelly brit>hate guns, want to make a game about zombies where the majority of time your potential weapons are melee weapons and that you can maybe a few guns and some ammo for emergency cases as a treat, a reasonable take>make it take place in america instead of britbong islands
>>744612456Thats not entirely true. First you have to install britas...
>>744550773I'm not trying to be a negative nancy here, but what's the point of this game? I played heavily modded for at least 30 hours and it was so boring. Initially the game is amazing when you're weak and new, but once you learn the ropes and are even equipped with basic guns and supplies the enemies are an absolute cakewalk. From that point on, say 5-10 hours into a characters life, the entire rest of the game experience is spent looting random buildings and slowly fortifying a base. Once that's done literally nothing can stop you, and when a horde eventually shows up you just kill them if you've beefed your defenses and if not you just drive out of there and escape, building up a base again somewhere else.
>>744612506yeah it's utterly retarded. rural 90s america, every fucking house should have at least one home defense gun
>>744558219i'm using desensitized because it disables clothing discomfort. i like wearing armor for fashion, plus long term use of a respirator is practical when clearing towns
>>744587148>Rosewood fire station
>>744612506I would've loved Project Zomboid if it was set in Britain
I'm holded up in the Rosewood fire station with zombies coming around to the sound of my car's engine and the fucking electricity shut down after 3 days. I don't know where my damn flashlight is. Sned help.This sound is eeriehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAS7W8FTSIA
>>744612367what does it being a multiplayer slop game have anything to do with this?normies and streamers fucking love NPC's
>>744612506He didn't even just set it in america, he picked one of the states where more than 80% of households have AT LEAST one firearmHe could've picked new york, or california, and the noguns would've worked still to a degree, but he picked fucking KENTUCKY??? For his no guns zombie game?!!?????? ????? ????
>Papa Chad and Kl5 vehicle mods are not updated>Tread's Military Vehicle Zone Defs not updated>all the nice map expansion and enhancement mods not updated yet (understandable since the entire map has been overhauled)>Military Environment Addon not updated yetGod damn it. I miss the fun stuff from B41. By the time those mods get updated I'm gonna have a 3 year survivor and I'll have to start all over again since the mods will not have mid-save support. Oh well.
>>744612702I actually want a mod that just removes all the traitsthey are done completely wrong, it shouldn't be a point-buy thing, it's a nightmare to try and balance it like it isShould've been specific archetypes, the fat nerd, the highschool cheerleader, the lumberjack, and each one is balanced carefully on its own with limitationsalso women should max out at 5-7 in any skill instead of being equal to men
>>744613216ki5 vehicles has compatibility mods made by other people you should be able to find themafaik they actually still work fine but you can't craft extra parts or repair broken parts without the compatability mods
How people in Kentucky lived in 1997>none of them had a driveway nor vehicle, not even a bicycle>curtainless shadeless houses were in vogue>2 articles of clothing and 1 pair of socks to their name>one saucepan, one fork, maybe a single can of green beans in the kitchen>only grocery store in a 35 mile radius had 3 shelves>nobody patronized any restaurants because they didnt have any food>everyone was safety conscious, always locked their doors and windows>the garage they dont use for a car was also kept locked>all budget went to home and car alarms (gotta keep their 2 pairs of jeans safe)>children were pretty happy, always had 20 toys>nobody else was, sent angry letters to each other constantly>cell phone ownership declared illegal>notoriously anti-2nd amendment>even the police detested their use>the town weirdo might have had a double-barrel shotgun he let rust over, for which he only possessed 1 shell>all free time went to cardio, figuring out how to no longer require caloric intake and shrugging off 12 blows to the head from a cast iron pan>enjoyed walks in the deep wilderness or to the local top-secret military lab>75% of the population was brown or black
>>744612797The funniest part is how hard the dev nerfed rosewood and still people actively select it as a start lol
>>744613302i'd rather that they work on the actual gameplay. post your traits so i can judge them
I want to live like Morgan did in season 3 of the walking dead. A random lunatic holed up in a building with hundreds of guns, shooting at anyone coming nearby.
>>744613451This is all pretty accurate if you set it in the UK instead of kentucky
>>744613451>get 2-3 weapon addon mods>crank the ranged weapons amount to common and ammo to plentyful>gun stores now have dozens of ammo boxes and can get anything from a desert eagle & glock to a kriss vector and an M60>somehow the local sherrif from bunfuck nowhere has molotovs and grenades in his armory in addition to EOD suits
>>744613612Bartender. There are no traits for liquid mixing so i dont need any. Start it simple with some electric lemonade:2oz vodka1oz curacao2oz lemon and lime soda
>>744613451Erm ackshually Zomboid is set in 1993.
>raid drug store>electronic door>scavenge gas station for supplies to make a molotov>find gas extinguisher>burn_down_door.exe>extinguish pathway>get sleeping pills in the secure area>run>it all burns down to asheswhat a thrill
>>744614527feels like fire is weaker now for some reason? i remember it used to be my favorite thing to just chuck molotovs everywhere and watch all the zombies spread it around
>>744614734i remember when chucking one molotov destroyed an entire block. probably to prevent that & frustration from people accidentally burning down kitchens
>>744614734Theres a world setting for fire spread now.Yours is probably turned way down
>>744614052Unfortunately the people who make weapons mods are also people who don't give a fuck about anything being realistic, they just want their raifuSo you go to a police station and instead of a bunch of pistols, pistol ammo, a few shitty rifles and shotguns, it's molotovs, bazookas, ballistic body armor fit for a warzone, an m240B, and MG42, some $60,000 rifle that only 500 in the entire world were even made and at least 200 of them are in kentucky specifically, and especially in police stations
>>744615412Yeah, when I go to a cop station I am expecting to find 100 glocks, maybe 50 M16s and a few dozen shotguns.I found an AUG in the commissioner's file cabinet and weird shit from an AK to a Spas12 in the locker room.
>>744559319Getting sick from proximity to dead bodies is not realistic in the first place, unless the smell makes you queasy.
Hey um I posted in this thread but nobody replied. Is everyone just retarded and wants to talk about gay useless shit, or?
