play project zomboid
>>744622176Peak rape dungeon vibes.
>>744622176How is that sunny outside at 8pm
/v/ server when
>>744622384I only played solo so as far as I care never
>>744622176terrible tranny game, I honestly have no idea how they fucked up so badlyhow do you make a game so fucking boring holy shit
the mod that redoes the sound system is getting real close to what i want. all thats left is for things like shutting cupboard doors and wildlife noises being real.
>>744622510what mod?
im waiting for npcs and sex/rape/slavery mechanics
>>744622176Soon
>>744622176this game is literally so boring, so annoying and so clunky and painfully slow, yeah get mad at me nigger most overrated garbage ever
>>744622782Yeah good luck with that, gonna be a while even if it's in the next major ver.They got zomborut/zombolust for the current version with NPC mod support.
>>744622176I liked it but I moved onto Vintage Story, it's a lot better and has actual promise. Project Zomboid development is insanely slow and they just got rid of most people working there so it's probably genuinely over.

>>744622924>I liked it but I moved onto Vintage Story, it's a lot better and has actual promise.It's a shame the mods are so jank half the time.Fun otherwise.
>>744622176I have played. I'll play again when npcs are implemented and multiplayer is supported>inb4 phone posterI'm posting while taking a shit at work, sue me
is the sex mod good?
PZ is impressive cause they found a way to take something like surviving in a zombie apocalypse and make it a boring slog
>>744622384Once I get back to the states, I can look at setting one up. Of course as soon as I see any weird shit on my network I'll kill the server and burn my house down
>>744622176>pausedyou didn’t beat the game
suggest me mods
Already played it.
>>744624053Quick search didn't really bring up anything and I can't search properly for a few hours. link?
finally got a modded playthrough goinganyone have an idea of what the error thing means? everything is green in the load order
Fuck you niggers, i've been trying to not boot it up all week.
Any necessary mods, bros? Also, would you recommend pirating it or buying it? I put in about 150 hours in a pirated version a year or two ago.
>>744622384there was a /vm/ one that, as soon as i typed "nigger" in game, a mod wielding full armor, the largest backpack and an AR teleported to me and asked me to stop. i posted that to the thread and killed the server kek
>>744624974also, people who host servers can't help themselves but add 250 mods, including infinite ammo machine gun shit. gay.
>>744624974lmao
>>744624974That's because YOUR le funni use of the N-word causes our server to collapse/get delisted. We have to crack down on that immature nonsense.
>>744625160
so why did zomboid metamorphose into literally The Sims? it's really uncanny
>>744624337Anthro survivors, obviously
>>744624053Not interested in zombie fucking so unless they add NPCs I have no use for such things.>>744624075Its the type of game where you craft your own narrative so if you think its boring that really says more about you than anything.>>744624569You must be retarded because just a simple search for "zombo win" brought me right to the mod page.
What npc mod does the sex mod use? And is it compatible with anthro survivors?
>>744625360Because the dev used to be a literal sims modder?
>>744625360they hired a guy from miney-crafta which is why its now vintage story: but shit edition.>we promise to add npc stories guys ;)))>btw its too hard to do that in LUA>ignore all the mods that implement it>those are made by maga fascists and banned from the forum>for the past 12 months all we have made is a bronze age farmyard simzombies?
>>744624053does it give fitness xp?
>>744622176Its fun for like an hour at the start then gets boring.It needs two win conditions. One is to find parts from each area of the map to repair a boat and leave. The other to build a settlement with +20 NPCs living in it.
>>744625641Dude back off. They're going to implement NPCs, shit just takes time. Trust in the plan.
>>744625760>I need a quest marker!
>>744625760>npcsanon i...i have some bad news...
>>744625160you are not the arbiter of speechno one wants to play your server
>>744625496>You must be retardedI saw the git and know I can reverse from there but I'd rather have the direct link to the mod because I'm lazy. Of course search results vary from person to person and I'm not typically looking up zombie porn either. The blocked results are from me blocking anything related to reddit and facebook. Don't worry about it, I'll just use the female version to reverse search the actual mod.
>>744625930They literally will take down my server if I don't reprimand/ban you n-word shitters.
>>744625905Is this real?
>>744626087fuck off retard
>hear banging>don't see zombies>character instantly gets nervousso that's where they were. how do you even fit that many zombies into a fucking 2x2 tile room lol
>>744626087LAMO i literally have an ethnic cleansing mod on my server and it cannot be taken down because its my fucking server.
no
>>744624337>>744624864QoL:Common sense: Honestly, I only use it for the crowbar prying, the rest feels like redundant or bloatlike with b42Eat stack button: eat an entire stack of food with one button. godsend if you ever forage food.forage running: running doesnt turn off foraging, just nukes radius while you runfridges off: lets you turn off fridges to save generator gashas been read: tags books so you know what you've read and what you already haveitem condition: shows item conditions in hotbarkill count: detailed kill countmap legend UI: shows you what colour means what in the mapmap symbol size slider: lets you draw larger/smaller on the mapneat crafting: makes the crafting UI cleanerslower discomfort: makes discomfort accumulate slower; configurableproximity inventory: lets you loot from all (containers/zombies only; config) that are within range. just makes rifling through the pockets of the dead easier in groups.rain cleans blood: rain cleans bloodreload all magazines: adds a button.

>>744626286Any actual good mods? Like total conversion mods that turn it into Game of Thrones with medieval politicking whilst fighting zombie hordes, etc.?
>>744626363>>744626286
>>744626286the rest feels redundant or bloatlike*did not include mods that significantly change gameplay or balance besides the crowbar prying from common sense, but that one feels like it should be vanilla. Also slower discomfort, but it feels like vanilla discomfort is way too fast.I can include more mods that I use, if ya wants.
>>744626363I don't use total conversion mods, I'm not the type to use mods that significantly change gameplay or content, or mods that greatly impact balance and shit. other anons would probably have suggestions in that regard.
>>744626363the mod where you shit yourself to death if you dont use the toilet
>>744624864>>744626286I haven't seen a need for anything else yet.
>>744624053It's okay but discontinued.You're stuck with>ZomboRut (more direct continuation of ZomboWin Defeat, works with bandits)>ZomboLust (instead of it being a defeat result, it's a "get out of getting bit" card that gets you raped, with the ability to violate zombies and bandits)>Depraved Sense (in dev mod built off a fresh codebase)
>decided to try this since I seen it shilled on my algorithm on X and have not played it in 8 years.Its the exact same game with no objective but die when you get bored but improved visuals. Why the fuck cant these retards not design a objective to their shit sandbox.
>>744624053sauce?
>>744626151I used to think people(before society totally collapsed) used to dump bodies into random rooms as temporary mass graves which is why random clown car situations would pop outLater on found out the lore is the virus is airborne and /yourdude/ is immune(but not to bites) so I guess it's just the "Don't Dead Open Inside" zombie trope
>>744626678? Are you kidding? They VASTLY improved the buildings and cities. There's a lot more character to them now. Find your perfect base and HODL.
>>744626678>wheres the boss encounters? the legendary mutant zombies? the S+ grade loot? the plotlines and narratives?you should play some AAA stuff instead
>>744626087then don't host a server, fagboy
>>744626639Actually, I had forgotten about the two Reorder mods, and there is now a nice Inventory Pin mod.
I would but I'd rather play with someone and don't know anyone who'd play this with me.
>>744626915No? We're a community and need to have a place to play together.
>>744626087Good goy

>>744626286you are a pussy lmao
>>744627001its okay I made the algorithm stop recommending shit games e celeb streamer games.
>>744626286for me it's not being able to make rain barrels out of tarp in the base game for some reason
>>744626961"we" i've literally never heard of you or your nigger-loving server
>>744627035dont forget the guaranteed griefers which will necessitate admin vigilance which will lead to burnout and/or jannies being added who will inevitably be assholes
>>744622176I've tried and keep dying because you can't fake the Zombies out. They somehow are able to climb fucking gates and open doors with no issues.#NotMyRomero
>>744627128>guaranteed grieferswho the fuck cares, there would be griefers / niggers in real life
>>744627212yeah dude surely lots of people want to play on a server where you spend time to set up a base and then one day you log on and everything is burned out lolnot every game is rust
>>744627190>open doorsyou can turn that off>climbing fences that's fine
Still searching for that lets play video of the guy who is confused about the wife saying "Smells like burning" before he realizes the house is on fire and loses his shit

>>744627354Read, exercise, organize shit
>>744627257how many boosters and how many mods do you run?
how do i repair my bat? i just killed one bazillion zombies and its durability is very low now
>>744627385Fire is in the base game bwoh..
>>744624337I downloaded the manual save mod but it isn't working. I have an error that says, "Watcher is offline" and it won't let me save. Does it work for you guys or is it just me?

>>744628171>metal batbro...
this game is not about zombies anymore, it's about doing gay farming and crafting with your gay friendsthere will never be a decent hardcore zombie game
>>744628171>when you hide a lot of the crafting in your subhuman UI>when a lot of these are supposed to just be "right click" actions>dumb fat fuck dev can't do simple shit like making right click context sensitiveIt's so over. To the right. It's over on the right side of the menu.
>>744628224its the only weapon i found also you could see its a metal one in my picrel
>>744627476>Metal batYou can't.

>>744629000unironically me
I kind of hate how annoyingly complex this game is. You could trim like half of the mechanics and it would be a much more enjoyable experience
>>744629094Same I think repairing weapons was way more simpler before b42 but the dev and player base have autismo
>>744628702Literally me. You make your own goals in this game, my goal is to gun down every last zomboid I see.
>>744629000i use gps for everything
>>744629094>when you don't know how powerful a fucking bowl is and now you feel extremely silly because you are hunting for a damn bowl and getting frustrated because you cannot find oneKnowledge is literally suffering.
>>744629183I saw someone playing a modded rimworld run that turned the game into a top down survival shooter which really just made me wish that we had more than just darkwood in that category.
>>744629189Thats fair but bullshit like not having a map for where you live is ridiculous and I prefer dying because I did shit like shot a shotgun with 80 zombies around me and aggroing them all than dying because I didnt saw one zombie in the bathroom and it bite my left toe
Is there a way to back up my save i want to try wacky shit like using my fire arms but I literally never shot a single fire in this game and im afraid I'll aggro the whole town
>>744629258It wouldn't be so annoying if loot rates weren't so obviously forced. I like realism if it's autism realism but not when it's "realism for X thing so masochists can circlejerk about how hard the game is, vidya fantasy logic for Y thing because uhhh go fuck yourself nigger"Like wtf do you mean I can't move a fucking chair from one side of the room to the other without enough Carpentry skill? Only 1 house in 10 has bowls?
No.
>>744629501>i want to try wacky shit like using my fire arms but I literally never shot a single fire in this game and im afraid I'll aggro the whole townHow many bullets do you haveDoes your ammo match your gunsCan you find a part of town a good distance from your base with clear lines of sight and movement(intersections are good)General rule of thumb you can expect between 50-100 zombies to come for you if you shoot in a town, more if you shoot in LouisvilleYou use guns when you have built up enough that you actually WANT to make noise and commit a mass area clearance operation to nuke all infected around your base
>>744629605People unironically cried about how there would be so many guns in 90s Kentucky that the immersion was ruined by the lack of guns everywhere in 90s Kentucky. So the dev added more guns.
why don't american zombies keep their natural gun wielding reflexes?
>>744629893It's actually a fine motor skill, zombies lack that. Even opening doors should be beyond them but the dev is genuinely a fat dumbass.
>>744629893There is a mod for that now. It's called Armed Zeds.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3762864726
>previous build>pick cigarette smoker trait because cigs were everywhere, making it an obvious free neg perk>current build>pick cigarette smoker trait>cigs can't be found anywherewhy the FUCK did they get rid of this
>>744630291For all the guns, also the dev is a fat dumbass
>>744622176I don't really like it, so no.
I think Bandits is a mod I can't play the game without.>Gives you a reason to carry a gun.>Get to experience the types of wounds you can only get from PVP(Getting shot, etc)>Gives you a reason to fortify your base.>Have to fight enemies that are armed with guns.
shiiiiiiiiiiittwich in the same place and near the same things. i cant be sure its not a false memory that i heard a meta even happening or if im hallucinating because meta appears in the log.oh well. i play modded so i am not looking for troubleshooting. we'll try again in another patch.
>>744624053>The new zombie sexo mods all focus on female pc's because the devs/their primary audience are troons that want to be women>And so mods either have only 1 or 2 animations for male pc's that were included as an afterthought, or just outright don't have any male pc animations at allBeing a zombie fucker is a cursed existence.
>>744622176too hard for me, but I enjoy watching Nursehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0ZFUV8wtxI

>>744631554that would actually be pretty fun, but there would need to be an extraction mod to get you out of there
Lemmy won.
>>744630642>are troons that want to be womenwhy cant you autists internalize that people dont always play a game as themselves?I know autism prevents you from experiencing empathy and being able to imagine how a hypothetical character would think and act, but you should learn this is normal for everyone else.
>>744625641how is it like vintage story? genuine question as i love VS but have yet really settled in with zomboid.
>>744632274Why can't you retards distinguish between creating game content over playing it?
Talk about Project Zomboid. This is not a request. -_-
Everyone I see playing it just turns it into a minmax treadmill and the actual zombie combat looks so tedious
>>744634769Maybe you should play creatively then?
>xp factor 7-10>food: scarse>everything else: normal>infection: off

>>744635827>4 gunsthey nerfed ammo spawning into the ground
If the game is so shit then how are they reaching higher all-time player count peaks with every update?
>Sorting inventory at base>Game misinterprets a click drag as a double click and my character drinks a sip of bleachWell I guess I'll play again next update in 5 years

>>744622176Played it on/off a few times but never got really into it. Will try out again soon though.
>>744636215>a sip of bleachHow does that kill you? The poison stat shouldn't be high enough with just a sip.
7 days to die is a better game
>>744622176I did and fell through the roof because the devs are too niggerish to put in actual collisions to stop you from falling to your death in a permadeath no-saves game.
>>744622176I'll consider when it's out, if it hasn't been ruined by being sold to investors by then
>>744627128>>744627257>two anons accidentally discover why multiplayer is retarded in PZ and they should have focused on NPCS instead
>>744638968so ur never gonna play it then
>>744627128>>744627257I feel bad for people with no frens, and having to rely on playing with niggerfaggots from 4chan as the next best option after the worst possible option, public multiplayer.MP is not worth it without a group of people who you actually know.

>>744626674>You're stuck withYou're saying it like most games have several distinct rape mods, the fact that there are three currently developed out of total of four is fascinating and very autistic
>>744629782>So the dev added more guns.Way too fucking few. You find a gun in like 10 to 20% of houses, and 0 ammo to go with it. Also they're so utterly retarded you find many more rifles than handguns, what the fuck?
>>744622176Where's the deer sex mod?
I like the idea of games like zomboid but I have zero interest playing the developers personal retarded hallucinations of what counts as """""realistic""""" when it's exclusively used to justify tedium and annoyance and never implementing extremely simple and realistic things that would make the game easier or more fun. >game is set in fucking Kentucky in the early 90's>instead of LITERALLY a 50%+ gun ownership rate with virtually every home having some, they're treated as rare because the developers are fucking british and canadian and hate the idea of players having easy access to firearms despite setting their game in fucking suburban/rural Kentucky where there's more guns per capital than almost anywhere else on the planet >Steel tools that can last an entire lifetime with basic maintenance IRL shatter to pieces in a few dozen uses even when used for their 100% intended purpose, like using a Crowbar to open shit or Bolt Cutters to cut locks>Years of development and still no actual fucking rope and stuck with shitty bedsheets because making a base on a roof or similar and pulling the rope/rope ladder up to sleep would be "overpowered" despite primates sleeping in trees to avoid predators for a fucking million years >no NPCs despite the game starting with the map almost entirely untouched and unlooted with tons of intact houses and such where it makes no sense to be the very last man alive when you're not immune to the virus, meanwhile modders implement NPCs and quests just fine
>>744639512If they actually put 2,500 mixed ammo and 2-3 guns laying around in every house instead of being map-wide then their non-American minds would break from the mental strain of having to balance around that. They cannot even make NPCs.
>>744640707aren't guns already balanced by being loud as hell, inaccurate, and drawing more zombies to you
>thing: realistic and convenient>"M-MUH BALANCE">thing: realistic and inconvenient>"M-MUH REALISM"
>>744625360The Sims 1 aesthetic is what got me interested in the game.
>>744640707They could just add sliders for making zombies sprinters or superhumanly durable like every other fucking zombie game and movie, or if they want to be "muh realistic" make injuries more serious and take away the fucking magic Far Cry bandages so you're a glass cannon with thousands of rounds of ammo but have to play much more cautiously and not shrug off literally anything that's not a zombie infected bite.Alternatively, stop being lazy pieces of shit and make more maps to play with fucking rural Kentucky being the "Easy" node for surviving the apocalypse because it's low population density with easy access to fresh water and millions of rounds of ammunition and every house having at least one gun in it, then add a DANTE MUST DIE difficulty where you spawn in a crowded london apartment where you need a loicense even for kitchen knives and need to break into police stations just to get a handgun
>>744626087how the fuck are they meant to know
>>744640727They increased the amount of ammo now but before the total amount of ammo on the map was so low that drawing crowd aggro was never worth it.
Zomboid desperately needs more in the evolving world department, or possible objectives and things you can work towards.You kind of have to make excuses for yourself to leave base and a lot of the "progression" features feel like they don't ultimately matter. Like you have no reason to fortify a base, travel around the map, etc.Its not like the game has to have a genuine ending, but some tasks for you to go out and accomplish would help a lot.
>>744640727trvkeyou could give every new character a gun and the best thing you could do is use it as a noisemaker draw away zombies from where you actually want to go
>>744640727They even give you muscle strain, so it's not like you can fire them all day and mow down 2000 zeds. And if the devs weren't retards, they could just make you temporarily more deaf the more you shoot to simulate IRL, meaning you wouldn't see zeds coming up behind you since that's a representation of your hearing, just like with the deaf trait. That would already balance it all very well.
this game causes a deranged schizophrenic rage here but I have yet to see a single good suggestion on how to fix it
>>744644215true horde migration with a slight weighting to the players location would be nice
>>744644215The devs themselves hired the NPC dev solely so they could make him do useless busy work and delete his NPC mod. No amount of suggesting an addition of NPCs will fix it when you have the game's own developers plotting against you.
>>744622176I am we just settled on the river just outside of louisville
>>744636119xqc played it
>>744644215my pie in the sky idea would be to extend the map tenfold all the way to Indianapolis with a safe zone at the end, if you reach it the credits roll, there would also be randomised roadblocks between there and you, mile long road wrecks, blown bridges, mega hordes, stuff to prevent you from just driving there in like a day or two

>>744622176I tried and died. Wasn't that how the story was supposed to end?
>>744622828Brave and stunning
>>744649635so change the underlying code?

>>744656289Those last few deaths are completely on you for not paying attention to the moodles. When you get tired, you need to get to a place you can safely rest, and you spawn in one. If you keep fighting and running to complete exhaustion, then yeah you'll die. Always have some cleared house in the vicinity you can quickly sprint to, enter the bedroom, close the door and rest without making noise.
How do I go back to the old and superior aiming system?
>>744626210>ethnic cleansing modtell me more
get to carving 9 and you can make bats (stat identical to baseball bats) from large branchesit's a very fast skill to grind and the carving books are common in bookstores and librariesyou can also get to carving 7 to make short bats (everyone likes short blunt more anyways) from a mere tree branchif you have a recipe schematic/magazine in your inventory, like one you find in a survivor house, you can craft anything one level earlier too
>>744658930Carvers get the rope.t. knapper
>>744658930>get to carving 9I always pick illiterate I'll just go find an axe somewhere
>>744658930>need level 9 to craft a baseball batsee this is why zomboid is retarded. so much grinding to get to high levels just so you can start playing the game.
>>744650673Sundown in kentucky at the height of summer is 9pm.
>>744658930>need a schematic to make a wooden clubZomboid is retarded, its lost the plot.
>>744622176>play unfinished slop by undisciplined devs thats about as deep as cookie clicker No
>>744658930level 9, near peak mastery of all carvingsomehow this is the level of carving needed to make a rounded hunk of wood
>>744659969Lets be honest, its basically 'released' nowThe early access tag is a 13 year old meme
>Leave sheep for a day with lots of water and feed>Get back with new pigs>Whole flock died and already desiccating, shit everywhereNice stable build you retard
>>744660105>still no gameplay beyond clicking shit, and spread sheet number crunchingGrim
>>744659773>so you can start playing the game.The game is about scavenging, crafting just allows you to bypass the randomness of scavenging and allow consistent sources of items. High levels of crafting are where the game ends
>>744660034well yeah they're carving an actual regulation baseball bat. you CAN make a carved wood weapon much earlier, you just make a large handle and put some nails on it
just loaded into my savefile and all my mods turned off for some reason, fucking rip my 10+ hour grind
>>744660913Holy shit, I thought it was only meYou can't click CONTINUE use load instead and inspect the mod before you loadI've lost my save twice to this shit
>>744660198>all you do is click shitmost games are either pushing buttons or clicking shit, that's just how they work
>>744660913>>744661136there are save backups you retards
>>744661162The difference is those other games have gameplay anon
>>744658930Absolutely retarded. I was carving walking sticks and clubs out of branches back when I was a young boy scout.
>>744645493Play your first couple runs on apocalypse with no traits to get a feel for things.Then jump into sandbox, change the settings to your liking, and start experimenting with traits.Also bump ammo spawns to 2.0 from 0.6, the devs are retarded and English, so they're obligated to make guns painful to use.Try to avoid mods until you actually kinda know the game, they're great but picking the ones you'll want requires you already be familiar with the game.
dream mods or update?I want gore, zombie dismemberment and proper melee animations that aren't just swing. give me swing but fancy and dashes and shit
Haven't played in like 4 years. Have they fixed the grind yet or do you still need to multiply the XP gain by a ton to avoid doing nothing but sitting down reading books and TV
>>744663065Hire this kurwa dickhead to fix the first aid skill, character sprites and basic gameplay.
>>744663181>manually applied bandages>using specific chemicals to suppress pain and treat ailmentsHonestly would be kinda cool.
>>744637703Said no one at all ever, not even in ironic jest.
>>744663360nta but the dungeon design and combat is pretty fun

>>7446630651. A unified KI5 car mod that takes the sane cars that fit in universe, with better colors (not desaturated) and better spawning, e.g. trucks at truck stops. 2. More drugs, or more broadly chemistry3. More chaos, there should be more cars crashed everywhere with hastily gathered supplies packed in them
>>7446637647dtd isn't really comparable, the only other game that is is cata dda7dtd is just an action looter shooter, its fun but not an autism grinder you can roleplay in like pz
>>744663065An actual proper plumbing systemPiping, wiringPower optionsNot stone age smithing
>>744636119>already on the declinelol
>>744664428>actual proper plumbing system>Piping, wiring>Power optionsI think they haven't touched this because it is far too complex for them to implement. I mean it is far easier to shit out 1000 minecraft recipes than it is to write something like minecrafts redstone system.
>>744640382Indiestone used astral projection to witness the beauty and glory of The Last of Us Part 2 years before it's release and following their spiritual liege, the golden globes nominee, Neil Druckmann, and defy the disgusting players the pitiable concept of "fun". We don't use the word "fun" in serious video games. Cringe shitposting aside tlou mod conversion is really cool and exactly gives the special unique zeds zomboid would benefit from.
>>744664428>>744664574They did say they were going to do actual plumbing... Once... A couple years ago...
>>744622176i am
>>744664574i would at least like some convoluted way to turn power and water back on, even if only temporarily like you gotta bring a bunch of generators to a substation and connect them all using elec 10 or something
I'm 30 hours into my save but some of you guys are making me wanna play with modsDo I need to make a new save or can you just enable mods in world and all the new shit is spawned in?
>>744664905some mods you can just drop in mid playthrough but a lot of them will require a fresh save to function properly
Forgot how fast corpse sickness kills you. I spent a bit too long trying to drag dead zeds out of my living space, ended up with a fever and died in literally under a minute. Didn't even have time to get to my meds and treat it.

>look away for two seconds while talking with friend>random sprinter bites me on the fucking headthank christ I turned off infection owned
>>744665146Priority one is always a filtered mask of some sort.SCBA mask also works, but comes with the limit of removing your backpack and a lot of discomfort, along with needing oxygen tanks instead of filters.In fact, I don't even think there's a reason to use the SCBA over a filtered mask, unless I'm missing something.
>>744665146just turn that shit off, this is why the walking dead is based
>>744624053I put my penis inside a vagina unprotected earlier but I wasn't able to finish because we got interrupted.
I want to somehow connect all these rooftops together to make a big rooftop base but I don't know how.
>>744665146Wait what the fuck that can kill you?I've just been moving away from bodies because I thought you might get locked into a throw up animation or some stat drain shit. I didnt know standing around corpses can infect you and end a run
>>744667414wiki says its just standing around 20+ corpses for 7 hours or more. dust masks makes it slower I think but filter masks outright remove it I *think*
>>744667395planks and nails
>>744667395get a bunch of planks, get on the roof and build bridges connecting them, don't fall off though and i'm not even sure if this works still
>>744667395Step 1: fall to your death because the devs are niggers and roof tiles have no collisions.Step 2: give up and wait for a few decades for the devs to implement bridges between roofs by themselves, as the interviewed lead artist described it was planned.
>>744667624>Step 1: fall to your death because the devs are niggers and roof tiles have no collisions.did someone die by falling jej you're supposed to check what tiles are walkable by hovering your floor build on the tile
>>744667414Yeah it seemed about as quick as dying from blood loss from a neck bite, kinda ridiculous imo.
>>744667618Yeah, but I want to make it in such a way where zombies can't get up there too.If I were to sledge the stairs on the right building and build a window with a sheet rope would that work? Would I still be able to get heavy shit like tvs and freezers up there if I don't have stairs?
>>744667618It works if the roof actually has collision, but you'd better fucking check to not instadie, and probably the biggest issue you'll encounter is that the rendering is absolutely dogshit at telling you if you're on the same level or not, so you could visually have a perfect bridge from two 3rd floors, but it might actually have one end on the 2nd or 4th floor, and you'll of course fall to your death.You can theoretically use the walk to button to always be sure you won't fall, but that is stressful as fuck to do, never go higher than the 1st floor if you don't want to be stressed constantly.>>744667801>see physical glass tiles from the warehouse north of Muldraugh>very gently approach it>instaphase through like a ghost and dieYeah I died, cause the devs are niggers for not fixing this but bothering to implement 30 fucking floors, who the fuck ever asked for that? It's absolutely useless to have so many floors and it's a nightmare to render and run properly on a game this unoptimized.
>>744667856>window with a sheet rope would that work?yes this works but there is now a chance of you falling off the sheet rope so it's risky
got some neck protection
>>744625905https://youtu.be/meU2gAU7Xss
>>744668090Hmm, if that's the case I think I'll just make a shitty gate to prevent zombies from getting up there then and keep the stairs.
is this like mmorpg glorified discord server for bpd women preying on autists or something?

Anybody try an all sprinters playthrough? Thinking of giving that a try with some other modified settings.
>>744668925>default mods
>>744668952No, sprinters turn the game into a cheese fest.
>>744627506>nigga can't read the description>just downloads random shit and doesn't know how to troubleshoot problemsJust ask the modder if you need help...
>>744665146Wait, you can actually die from the smell now?How are you suppose to treat the fever than? I thought you can only recover from it by well fed and sleeping.
>>744668925you sound old and slow
>>744668925>default modshow many layers of brain damage is u on unc
>>744669046I've considered doing something like that but you have to lower the population to basically nothing since just one or two sprinters are enough to kill you.
>>744668954>>744669228>>744669453oh they're still the same ones from when I played last time, I completely forgot about itregardless, the rest of the post about combat is because the game is dogshit, if I aim my cursor to the right, I want to hit to the right and not to the left
>>744669726The argument for brain damage still applies if you think all your mods from way back when are just going to be up to date and functional in a new stable build.
>>744669889>regardlessnigger
>>744669923I don't care about that part of your post.
>>744670000checked and that's why you're a nigger
>>744669706just set ammo to abundant as it should be and be vigilant. sprinters make very obvious and different noises so they are easy to hear as long as you don't have deaf or hard of hearing.
>>744622176no
Why does custom sandbox get rid of randomized spawns? I spawned in the exact same house next to the eye glasses store three times in a row.
>>744669726try playing the tutorial you drooling retard
I set ammo to max of 4.0, this is USA, there shall be no ammo shortage under my watch. If I could set it to 10.0 for true realism I would.
>>744622176Why would I do that? It's a sandbox with nothing to do in it.
>>744670741>it's just sand, where are the castles?
>>744670119They can sneak up on you without a peep, got bit in the neck from behind while refueling my car. Absolute bullshit. You cannot rely on sound alone.
>>744628951left 4 dead is shit though
>>744670819>"It's a sandbox">There's no sand. Just a box.
>>744622828So just like real life? Is real life dreadful, boring and painful for you? If your answer is yes, then I understand why you hate the game, it's because you're not a functioning human.It's rewarding to have a character that improves over a long period of time and all of that progress is permanent given that you survive, the stat and gear improvements are very noticeable and meaningful.The clunkiness is easily overcome through knowledge and understanding of the mechanics and controls.The PROBLEM with the game is that there's generally no goal other than survival. It's the reason why I can't get into something like Long Dark, and it's one of the reasons I don't play DayZ all that much.You'd want at least SOME goals for your game, otherwise it's going to be completely aimless, especially when playing solo. Because survival is actually really easy once you've managed to isolate yourself from the initial crisis. Inventing your own goals has never been that rewardind, it just feels like you could be doing anything else with your time. In multiplayer, you have other people as your goal, you can form bonds, survive together, PvP, base building, base raiding etc. In single-player, you really don't have anything other than, survive, kill zombies. That does get boring eventually. If you've cleared the entire map of zombies, then what? Start a new save? No.
>>744670836you can see zombies from this far behind you. if you're old with dogshit reaction time then don't play a permadeath game where any attack can kill you
>>744625160faggot
>>744671237not him but that's simply not true, you can see that zombie because you've seen it before if you were lets say unpacking something from a trunk then you are completely blind to what's going on behind you
>>744626961gayyyynigger
>>744651886more shit for the devs to get people upset over, they're barely able to maintain and improve their own game just on their own standards already, expecting them to handle something like zombie children in the ways those games did it is asking too much for them, all they could want to manage is having some text in the radios and news talking about children during the infectionif project zomboid had zombie children they should give them a 1.5x aiming xp multiplier because of the size and speed differences (i already play with 4x aim learning speed)
>>744626151what fucking difficulty is this kek
>>744622176>play project zomboidWhere can I download it for free then?
>>744641773>>744670990that's the point of the game. the lack of meaning in the world to survive for is the core of most zombie themed naratives.>"Even if you survive you can't take society and it's distractions with you."You want to bring your values into a game about the end of the world.
>>744671391google zomboid's "perception radius" instead of being a retard. this is well known by literally everyone and you have your choice of videos with technical breakdowns on what affects it
>>744622828sounds like sandbox games aren't for yougood thing gacha exist
Why is the foraging system so fucking weird and unintuitive. If I want to gather rocks I have to enable my special batman blurry vision that makes rocks randomly spawn in the woods???
>>744663269doesn't that 28 years later movie have some bald britbong dosing fags with morphine and crushing up pills for neupagan shoymanic rituals
>>744622176Is it at least as good as Cataclysm DDA?
Can you set infection to bite only in SP?
>>744672053Something like that, I can't recall the exact process but he basically just dopes them up on a bunch of morphine and just hangs out with them until they end up cured.I think someone came up with the theory that the virus suppresses parts of the brain to prevent an immune response, while the morphine relaxes it and results in the body being able to respond to the infection.I have no clue how realistic this is since I'm not a neurologist.
>>744671965just open your eyes and right click a stone to pick it up, i'm shocked how stupid everyone in this thread is
>>744669726Turn on combat outlines
I'm currently doing a retexture on a truck pack mod, but I wonder though, is it even possible to make crafting NOT A PAIN IN THE ASS? It's probably my only criticism about this game since everything else is fixable via sandbox. I don't know what crafting mods could fix the issue of crafting being so utterly fucked. You shouldn't go through 8 steps just to cook a fucking dish.
>>744672330its bullshit but in zomboid micro dosing vodka is legit the best way to play...in fact if you mix 51% water with milk and trace vodka you negate the games entire happyness/discomfort/panic/pain/stress/food system as this wombo combo gives you perfect calories and mood immunity on auto sip lol its hilariously retarded. cas:u has a much better system of mixing your own crystal meth ice cream tho.
>>744671814I hate this cope, basically appeals to "muh realizm" but there's no humans on this "world" machetes and katanas are made of paper, spears made of wet tissue. Sledgehammers are somehow the rarest thing in the whole county.Always the pitfall of this kind of shitass devs where realism is overruled by making things tedious
>>744672053>>744672330he gave the jeetzombie antipsychotic pills mixed with morphine or some shit, it's really retarded how the infection isn't just an infection anymore but also "muh mental illness". no, i'm not kidding either.
>>744639245Rosewood race riots were the best part of the server. Then when the main clans base got burned and they cried in the thread to rollback the server + disable fire and it actually happened the server immediately turned to dogshit
>>744672175>>744672175>>744672175Answer my question shills. I'm interested in the game but I want to know if there is depth to it or if it's only a graphical+UI/UX upgrade over CDDA.
>>744631692>>744631554Completely seriously I just want L4D2 special infected as part of the game but make them incredibly rare to start with and increasingly common as time goes on. And how active they are depends to a degree upon the time and seasons.
>>744641058It could really benefit from just making zombies way harder to actually completely eliminate, although I guess that could end up being really hard on your computer. Like you shoot a zombie's leg off? It starts crawling around. Shoot all its limbs off? It sits on the ground and tries biting at anything nearby. Hell, shoot its heart? It's slowed down but still moving. Shoot its head? Now it's blind but still moving. Etc. You need to put them in a furnace to actually destroy them. And zombie ash and blood? Ruins the land for cultivation.

>>744677749Come on son...there is nothing "survival" about zomboid. You can simply eat butter and whiskey once per day and never starve. Not a single status effects is fatal other than sickness.
>>744677743yeah but that's irrelevant
I wish kenshi had PZ's level of autistic technical complexity. Very fun world and cool lore but pretty shallow in terms of how you can actually engage with it. Meanwhile i find PZ has a boring setting and combat but a wealth of autistic little things you can fuck around with.
>>744662019I used to pull out the nails holding train rails and sharp them to make chivs at 6, this retarded game is telling I can sharp a metal pipe into a knife without being a qualified industrial welding inspector?How about you allow me to make gun powder, it's not rocket science, you can even implement tha by adding the military manual for that in some barrack in game and then learning it.
>>744678718>irrelevantokay
DAMN! You gotta back in the body though, and some of the textures clip. If anyone knows how to model the clothing to stretch, here you go.https://files.catbox.moe/n4tpv8.fbxhttps://files.catbox.moe/5ydeo0.txt
>>744678848what complexity does zomboid have? because non of its features are anything but basic bitch and super shallow even after all these years. you win the game simply by take a few basic tools into the forest which you can do on the first game day.

Either run a /v/ server, or go infest some normie Discord. You can't have it both ways, basic economics.I'll give you a food metaphor because you're probably a fatass: You can target people who want to eat fast food, or you can target people who want to eat fine dining, but trying to get both in the same restaurant is fucking retarded and doomed to failure.Either have a /v/ server with freedom of expression and low moderation, or else go appeal to faggots like yourself. One or the other.

>>744687903>>744688040 its the same person who shamed the devs 10 years ago saying PayPal was right when their laptop was stolen a egoist piece of shit they almost lost the whole game once but didn't let that stop them
>>744680780Don't worry Anon, I understand your grievance. Seeing everything else rendered and be obstacles to movement but rooftop fixtures are not is just the kind of detail that will bother people.
>>744687903At the time of purchase EA actually meant paying for the game early so the devs can keep the lights on the get the game finishedIt does not mean keeping the game in EA just so people can excuse the poor performance and letting modders do the work of adding content
>>744622176So what is actually new in the stable release that wasn't in the beta builds?
>>744688272I've paid for it I don't care about your drama, I want the product I bought.
>>744625160It's a litmus test, nigger
>>744684297No because you don't have to craft anything at all. You can find everything in the world including working farms, black smiths and all the garbage they added like pots
Do they have NPCs yet?
>>744639245I have frens but my tastes are too autistic for them.
>>744690705NPCs due to build 43, possible around 2029 or 2030
>>744688040>>744688658>>744689182i bet u dont even play the game and ur just complaining for the fun of it get a life attic nigger
>>744690705im trans btw
>>744629605Yeah, but the game is supposed to happen a week after the first infection, guns would be used, ammo would be depleted.
>>744629893if the devs followed romero's vision from "day of the dead" then some would
>>744691363The games own "lore" is that an outbreak in spiffos diner caused zombonies and everyone was evacuated to the check point zone and they all died. So no, no one used all the guns or can openers because the army moves them to the safe zone.
>>744637703the fact that zombies will just "generate" the second you get to a location and hit a quest start is such a fucking immersion killer that i can't get into it. it should be that zombies spawn beforehand which generates the trader quests or they spawn on accepting it from the trader
>>744683946Molotov
>>744649635It isn't impossible, just a long and tedious task because of poor optimization of the code.
when do you think they'll add fort knox to the game?
>>744694241This is a game that centers around realism. Fort knox isn't real.
did they nerf heli events? i remember them being much more hectic and scarylast char i just sat in the second floor of the muldraugh pd and not a single zombie came the whole dayjust now I tried driving by the big shooting range during the event and they barely react. was hoping to lure them out and away.
>>744683946Where's the gun store in Rosewood?
I want to but it runs like shit on my old ass computer :(
Interior lighting is such a stupid mechanic now. Cat's eyes is a near-mandatory trait with 42 but its still utterly fucking useless indoors because of pitch black interiors. Any mods to fix this without touching the overall darkness setting?
>>744663065Cincinnati
That northern riverside hotel is so fucking perfect. tall gates on 2 sides with pure river on the other 2 and only a gate to enter with a fuckton of space for animals, a farm and as many cars as I want. I just wish the building itself wasn't so massive. It's too big for 1 person and I had to spend forever tearing down all the electrical items on all 3 huge floors so my generators don't die too quick. It was almost perfect.
>>744695429The small house looking building right above the Jenny's Table and Bright Flag Inn with a cream coloured upper half (which are between the church and the spiffos).Absolutely diabolical facing it's front out of view so it just looks like some shitter home, there's several stores like this in rosewood.
>>744694981Guns unlimited zeds just stand around if there's a fence between me and themDunno if anyone else has that happen.
>>744622176it's alright.single player apocalypse at default settings is a total fucking slog though after you've gotten past the initial hurdle of securing a base and food source.bringing any non-gun related skill over level 6 is an abysmal grind even with a full set of books.crops taking like 6 in-game months to grow for a pitiful yield when you can just take a walk across a field with search mode on and get a backpack full of mushrooms, berries, plants and fruit (wild oranges? in kentucky?) feels like the devs are genuinely taking the piss.
>>744624053>male monster on female humanI hate this gay shit. Let me fuck zombie girls
>>744697564yeah I'm getting that too. Kind of regretting having random sprinters now. Gonna be impossible to get in and get guns and ammo without already having a good amount
>>744698385
>>744698280what are the best settings for singleplayer?
do you guys think zomboid would benefit from having shorter years?like instead of it being 365 days in a year, what if it had 2 day weeks where a year lasts 104 days.
>>744698815Increased EXP gain (I do 5x rate) and disable infection.
>>744660207But the game gives you so many weapons that crafting just seems pointless unless you are doing quirky self imposed challenges
>>744695603get a flashlight u tard
>>744677725Theres tons of actually fun sandbox games
>>744680780>All these weird defensive excuses as to why your character falls through roof tiles
>>744684301Okay then address THAT issue then. Why do the windows warp out of reality when you go up to the roof?
>gta vi before npcs>game has been out since 2013
>Play the game when they have you getting shit for your bedridden wife or something, killing a home invader, and getting held up by some guy looting a store>Enjoy my time with it and put it down waiting for when the game has a full release so I can prioritize my coursework at university>Come back>NPCs somehow have become a mythical concept that the developer seems intent on sabotaging all attempts at making reality
>>744698815i play on what is undoubtedly called easy mode>a pack of lips>normal pop>normal peak>peak day 1 just in case>high condition cars>infinite gas at pumps>no utilities shutoff>saliva infection only>no looted buildings>no nutrition system>that setting that adjusts loot based on nearby population at abundantthen>gyde's trait magazines so i can take all the negative traits for points to distribute skill bonuses.then its just da grindan game for 30 hours
>>744622924>they just got rid of most people working thereWhy? Was there an announcement?
all these years and they still haven't updated their shitty vanilla cars
>>744698547Just very carefully kite and draw out sprinters to handle separate from the pack, or use a throwaway car to do the same. If you decide to shoot out of the window, have a slightly less shit throwaway car so you don't get stuck. Random sprinters are scary, but they make themselves known and can be dealt with if you're careful enough.
>>744672175>>744673840>Is there depth to Zomboid compared to CDDAAbsolutely not.The only reason to play Zomboid over CDDA is if you don't like CDDAs sci fi elements, and the UI/UX things you mentioned.Zomboid lacks a ton of depth compared to CDDA. There's even a meme in Zomboid that there's nothing to do once you've gotten self-sustaining and scavenged a bunch of guns. There's barely any reason to get stronger or stockpile gear unless you just wanna clear out an area compared to CDDA where you actively need to get stronger as the cataclysm gets worse. Even Bright Nights (CDDA but splintered off after Kevin went autistic with the realism and retconned society being post-modern with cybernetics and shoving cybernetics with his gay little faction and removing looting and scavenging CBMs with just buying them from a fucking vendor.) has more depth than zomboid. No reason to play Zomboid other than the graphics, preference, and multiplayer. Which tbf are decent reasonings.>>744674598Nobody liked Keven even before he trooned out lmao.
>>744625641If I remember correctly, they added all of the newer features to try making pure wilderness survival runs possible, and to address the issue of a lot of people playing on a server that everyone has looted and stripped bare of all furniture for resources and carpentry xp, because people who had long-term servers were running into the issue of having to star over once the map was cannibalized and people couldn't really continue, especially if you were new to the server once that had already happened.
Npcs and factions when?
>>744702070im trans btw
>>744702070Build 43 they said it a billion times
>>744626562Lifestyle mod really does make the game more fun, having to actively improve and keep your environment from being shit to keep your character's morale up, and plan your actions around having to take a shit, so you're not trying to run while keeping your cheeks squeezed together because you ate a ton before.
>>744627098I think you can im vanilla now. They addressed a lot of the dumb things you couldn't do before in their newest build (and left a few others unaddressed).
>>744622782>>744622850Do you guys really think they are going to add anything even mildly interesting? They added fucking pottery for fucks sake. You know what I love in my zombie survival games? FARMING!
>>744625760Holy fuck, I would play this game if those were in the game. It would give me a reason to actually play the fucking game.
>>744680780whats the mod showing you getting experience in the top right?
until NPCs are actually added I will never play this game, all of these Zombie Survival/Rust clones always have the same problem where they just kinda expect you to play multiplayer and never make playing singleplayer actually enjoyable
All loot set to abundant. This is America in 1993 damnit, I shouldn't be lacking for material goods of any kind.
>>744702910That on is called "XP Drops - Oldschool Runescape". There is also a newer one called "Neat XP Drop (Fixed)".The whole NeatUI suit is p cool but the OSRS one with a retexture "[B42] OSRS XP Drops Retextured" is more in line with the vanilla style.
>>744694543Holy shit is this real? No way there's a cat that big.
>>744704913thank you anon
>>744704215agreed, for all the claims of realism, for the majority of people, they just got fucked by the airborne mutation. suddenly they felt like they had the flu and 3 days later they're zombies. no chance for rioting or looting. entire communities just suddenly become full of zombies after people take a few sick days.even with panic buying, that should just mean that more houses are full of stockpiled loot.
>>744702189>build 42, a simple addition of additional crafting recipes, dumbass animals that shit themselves to death, a lighting system tweak, and a vibecoded map update took over FIVE YEARSI can't wait to play b43 unstable in 2036!
>>744684214both are abject dogshit except for dying light 1
>>744625160>We
>>744695603i dont want a flashlight I want cats eyes to function indoors too
Why do the devs insist on rarely expanding the gun system except under heavy criticism while also nerfing melee combat endlessly
>>744709615I thought they fixed rooms with closed curtains being pitch dark in the middle of the day by allowing some light in? I could have sworn they mentioned it in one of their weekly posts.
>>744687772>>giant obvious holes with no windows whatsoever on roofThe worst is that there is some remains on the roof still, this tiny corner bridging the gap between the glass and the roof's floor, just like when you build wooden walls then you stand right by them, you can see the tiny bottom of it and it does still stop you of course. Well in that instance, nope, it's there just to lie to you and get you killed.
>>744687772Also, why the fuck haven't the devs implemented what Minecraft did how many fucking years ago with the crouch safety? As long as you're in combat stance, your character should automatically stop at edges and not fall. Again those fucking hacks devs can't do the most basic shit right.
>>744710495It is to realistically simulate a lax in judgement.
>>744622782Wait, there are no NPCs in this 15yo game? Lmao
>>744710495just don't fall
>>744710868technically zombies and wildlife count :)
>>744625782To their credit, at least they're not selling JPEGs of the said NPCs like a certain other developer.
>>744625360Indiestone started as a group of sim modders
>tie four logs to make them easier to carry to my base>unpack them once I get there>weight alert pops out>the four logs are in my character's inventory instead of dropping to the ground like it used to do in the previous version>no setting to change this, can't even select my bag to make them go there so at least their weight is reduced a little>same happens when I saw them into planks, they go straight to the character's inventory and weigh him down a lotWhat the fuck were they thinking? This makes carpentry so much more annoying
Project Simboid when
>>744711336That's fucking retarded.>Set log on ground.>Saw log into planks.>Planks magically teleport into my hands(?)/pockets/Inventory.>This makes sense, but nothing else that would be convenient and break the "realism" immersion.If they make it a setting, like virtually everything else, it wouldn't be so retarded.
Anyone have any tutorials on working/modding the outfit morphs? For making clothes stretch to a body?
>>744622176How the fuck is Autotsar still the only motorcycle mod?
>>744712840KI5 is witholding updates on his due to some rendering error in B42 that modders can't fix.You can see it when using autotsar's motorcycles. Vehicle rendering overlaps the character's legs.It's kind of a petty reason, but yet another to hate indiestone.
What the fuck is wrong with the perk system? It says you can give yourself 100 perk points so you can pick as many perks as you want... except 100 perk points isn't enough to pick every positive perk in the perk list. You literally have to give up on tons of nice perks.
>>744702027Thats funny because the dev themselves tells people to "shut up and reset the world" if they dont like the limited resources. You already have respawn loot in the options menu and foraging auto respawns after a few days so you could keep playing forever if you wanted with all the shitty cave man bloat.
>>744684214>GUN AND BALL
>>744622176Haven't played this game in almost 4 yrsDo i still need mods or vanilla now fun?
>>744667395That's my base at what the hell!
Anyone else like playing on zombie vision poor so they don't have to play so zoomed out all the time?
>>744628267>foraging isn't left clickable it was over before it even began
>>744622176There is no interesting systems in the game that make long term play enjoyable. If there was circuitry, irrigation, interesting traps/bombs the game would be much more enjoyable.
>>744714848The game does have timed, remote and proximity IEDs and noise makers. They don't work but it has them.
Beyond dogshit game. For a game that looks that awful, optimisation is also horrible.Devs keep adding unfun things into the game just to make it EVEN MORE tedious.
ah man first x16 run of the new build with all three farm animals but the houses are all burnt. no wonder there's no zombies
>>744711336Same with unbarricading survivor homes, the planks automatically go into your main inventory instead of just dropping to the ground.
>need a sledgehammer to break the wall into the forbidden basement
>>744622176Been getting back to it and its mods slowlySo, are you dressed properly for the zombie apocalypse?
>>744715668HAND CRAFTED INTERIORS
just learned a schematic for a full suit of armor but is there any point in actually making it?wearing as little as possible seems to make the most sense to me cos if you get grabbed you die anyway, right? better to be fast and light so that cant happen in the first place, surely?of course i'm only a few hours in so i dont know the 'meta' so to speak
>>744713051Respawn loot doesn't work if some retards go around breaking all the loot containers down for materials/xp. That's why they changed the default carpentry leveling from breaking shit, to building things for xp. It's giving people more options, especially for the long term, instead of everyone wandering around the woods hoping to find what they need from foraging.
>>744717419it's expensive as fuck both in time investment and material cost to build most craftable armour and no it won't save you from being dragged down and chewed on by a massive horde. Best to travel fast and light
>>744717419Getting pulled down by hordes is a skill issue for slobbering dumbasses, the random stray retard bite is what gets you late game.
>>744715668Most definitely an error, but neat as a concept.
>>744625160delisted from where? there is a list of servers for niggers?
My friends tricked me into buying this steaming pile of shit. Avoid like the plague
>multiplayer was good for a few days but now its getting a bit laggy and glitchyshould I delete all the dead bodies off the server?
>>744622176And do what exactly?The same old shit of looting a full neighborhood then grabbing a random house because making your own is a can of worms and zombies will just bust your walls down unlike game made houses.Then you're gonna have to deal with an annoying pack of 20 zombies by slow backward walk and bashing them with a pan for 10 minutes on repeat.You do these on loop until Winter where you sit on your ass while avoiding the Helicopter too just one time.
>>744719745I feel like we're playing completely different games. I play with 4x hungry and roaming zombies and bandits mod. I have me own ranch and chicken coop and lots of guns and food and cars. It's just comfy. Sometimes I leave my base to kill some cute anime girl zombies. Kind of your fault for sticking to default dogshit settings, no?
>>744719896>I feel like we're playing completely different games because I use 10 different mods that make the game into something completely differentNo shit...
>>744663065I really want that mod where you can zip tie zombies and fuck them to work again, man....
How come when I take screenshots using the print screen key (whether by itself, or with the windows key to save to a folder), I always get this warning from the intro being captured instead?
>>744720727Must be Windows being retardedTried with any other program like OBS or Greenshot?
>>744720727you can use shift+printscreen. it will be saved to the clipboard then you paste it into paint or whatever.
>>744720727try doing a win+alt+prtscreen screenshot with the xbox overlay, unless thats what 'or with the windows key to save to a folder' is
>>744720727I have a similar issue when taking screenshots with ScreenX, the first screenshot preview is always a minute earlier and if I do it a second time then it suddenly becomes up to date.
>>744720727Zomboid has always had problems with the print screen key.For some reason the capture will be of something way in the past.
>>744720727Sometimes, the Windows print screen feature captures whatever a game was displaying when it last became an active windowYou can test if that's the problem by Alt-Tabing out and back into the game before taking a screenshot
>>744721104>>744721162>>744721206>>744721447>>744721560>>744721654Thanks. Somehow, alt+tabbing out and back into the game fixed it. Now I gotta walk through every house in the neighborhood to find that radio with the emergency broadcast station on it because the screenshot didn't save the first time, and I forgot what house it was in.
>>744625905>>744626101>>744668426
>>744721950yeah my bad about the shift printscreen thing. that isnt true. i must have alt tabbed out at some point and assumed thats what did it. oops. the real fix(tm) is, as you said, alt tabbing out then in then printscreen. or just use steams screenshot feature, that does work.
what's the point of the top of the world challenge? it looks artificial when you can just go down the stairs to escape
>disable zombie respawn >all loot rarity to max of 4.0>disable muscle strain>all tedious bullshit is changedNow its zombie killing time, I will clear out Rosewood and make it my home. I shall become the terminator and there's nothing you can do about it. Devs don't know you need healthy balance between gameplay and realism.
when are you supposed to use guns?are you only meant to shoot when you plan to leave the area quickly anyway?
there is nothing to do in this game>dude make your own fun with what mechanics? Building is shit, there are no NPCs to RP with and if I wanted to mindlessly kill zombies then Dead Rising does it better
Are all houses meant to be open now. Every where I go their front doors are wide open.
>>744722923When you want to clear out a very large horde from a neighborhood/complex you want to occupy or loot.
>>744722996play like an i am legend simulatorget cool cars and cool shit from cool places that you wouldnt be able to have when the world was normal
>>744639245I have friends but this game seems more fun with a bigger group of people, and I'm not gonna drag all of my friends into playing this game with me. At most I can do 2 or 3 at the same time.
I hate how realism is cherrypicky>it takes ages to grow food or an animal to reach adult state>but said animal barely gives you any meat fuck you>you get muscle cramps from swinging a crowbar>but the crowbar is filmsy, a solid piece of metal somehow can break>you get hot in multiple layers of clothes>but these layers don't protect from shit in fact even kevlar vest can be somehow bitten through, fuck you
>breaks ur gamepshhh nothin personnel kid
some games tell you when mods are out of date, for example TW: Warhammer but in zomboid I have to manually fucking check each individual mod to know what shits up my game
>ProjectZomboid - Copyat this point its on you dude.
>>744725714what did he mean by this
