How fare thee runs, lads?
>>745885115I've had project zomboid in my library for a long time but it always feels so overwhelming to get into. Are there any good servers to play on?
opinions on starting with 0/0 fitness/strength and slowly leveling it up?
>>745885115>trees hide everything, zeds and building interiors alike>roof tiles have no collision>ladders don't work>massive despawning zed bug reduces intended numbers by up to 90%Not playing that bugged abandonware shit. Also, Lemmy is a faggot
I lost motivation after falling asleep with the game still running. I need a slighly modded or unmodded PvE server to fuck around in
>>745885216Obviously META considering how stupid xp is with those 2, you should always either start with 0 or 9/10 because the early levels require little xp and the higher ones require stupidly high amounts.
>>745885216I always do that, but lack of inventory space sucks
>>745885115>no mask
>>745885216I need her to stomp my zombie balls
>>745885115Every time I try get into this game, it takes about an hour or so before my brain does the usual "so what am I fighting for?" and I lose all interest. The only fun part is right at the beginning when you've got nothing and are trying to just live. Once you find a spot and get supplies the game is basically just over. Really wish they would just implement some actual real goals or missions.
>>745886419>what am I fighting foryou are slowly improving your quality of lifethe amount of things and options you unlock by progressing your skills is what makes the game addictive
>>745886419>what am I fighting for?cigarettes, coffee, and booze

>>745885115Give me objectives to do in this game other than surviveI get really bored way too quickly>>745886598What quality of life really? Grinding skills takes way too long, and most crafting recipes feel useless

>>745887790i'm not autistic enough for this shit
>>745887870autists have a lower tolerance for boredom, you're just not that interested in zombie survival
>>745887870well just letting you know that there is an endgame to this game and it's quite enjoyable to grind
>>745887790Can I use glass blowing to make a bong and then grow dude weed with the seeds I found in the police station evidence room?
>>745888059no but glassmaking makes you car glass panes which are the thing that gets destroyed the most on cars
>>745888000the first two, maybe three in-game weeks are alright after that it just stagnates and there's nothing to play for
I bought this on sale a few months ago but haven't played it yet. Anything to know going in?
>>745888295nah the third year and beyond is the best because that's when you actually have a character that isn't piss noob easy to get and encounters are scarier
>>745888306You will get fucked up by the controls the first couple of runs
>>745885235>>massive despawning zed bug reduces intended numbers by up to 90%Why lie, CDDA-player?
>>74588774199.9% of players will never experience either "bug."
>>745885115I just barely escaped a city on an electric scooter in Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.
>>745888306Collect pots and bottles and paint buckets that carry 10L, etc., and find a hose to siphon gas from cars for your generator once electricity goes out. Find the local gas station. DON'T use maps. If you look up an online map, it's cheating and you'll suffer from having ruined the game for yourself. Good luck.
>>745885216I can understand turning Skyrim and The Sims into a coomer game with mods. I however can't with Project Zomboid, everything is dead and it's too graphically low fidelity of a game for me to want to add sex to it. Cringe.
>>745887741Time to start using AI
REMINDER: For those new, if you read about anyone talking about "CDDA" in these threads, it's a shit game people try to troll Project Zomboid threads about. Nobody even plays it except maybe for one rare autist, because the game looks like picrel. ALSO, if you see anyone complain about the lack of "conditions," that's also a well-known troll. There are plenty of conditions in PZ: survive.
>>745889497i agree but please don't give those annoying fags more reasons/bait to squat here
>>745889310>its a bug that ruins people saves in a way or another>"its ok because most zomboid players are retards who play on baby mode and die on the first week"if we keep this mentality, most problems in the game will persist until indiestone dickriders get tiired in the game (its going to take forever)
>>745889693>if we keep this mentality, most problems in the game will persistI don't think you understand how snowflake millennial devs work
>>745889693>it's a bug that only affects like 1-2 people at most>100,0000 concurrent playersnice try.
Well, lads, it's July 23, and electricity finally has gone out... I have a generator and about 30-40L of gasoline, and I know where the gas station in town is located, so I should be okay. I've got three fridges/freezers full of food.
>>745890172>only 2 people play zomboid with zombies disabled>only 2 people play multiplayeryou are retarded
>>745890291zombies enabled*the zombies getting deleted affects literally anyone that plays any settings with zombies
>>745890291lmao it's an mp-only glitch? get fucked then, nobody cares, troll
>>745885216>>745889394do people actually play zomboid with coomer mods? i saw on LL it had defeat-rape mods and I was like...aren't the models too low poly for that to even be enjoyable?
Trying to just get a fucking run goingSo much mod conflicts, crashes, shit performance, custom starts not starting where they shouldI haven't been able to actually PLAY the game for like 3 days because of pure troubleshootingDoesn't help that launching the game can take anywhere between 1-5 minutes, launching and loading a game can take 1-5 minutes, going from one menu to another can take few minutes, if only the developers weren't such lazy fucks so that players wouldn't have to fix it themselves through mods
>>745889202It's real. There were forum posts linked to it yesterday with the original reports and proofs.
>>745889394>>745890479yes its peak

>>745887741ok this thread is fucking funny>Well, I decompiled both 42.19.1 and 42.20.3 files to look for changes in population handling.>What I found is that 42.20.3 has quite a few changes regarding zombie population. The ZombiePopulationManager class has a new method called clearChunkForReplace (which does not exist in 42.19.1 files at all).>I tried commenting out the whole body of clearChunkForReplace, recompiled the class file, put it in the zombie folder (with the same folder structure ofc), and the despawning looks fixed.rando on the forum decompiles shit, sees a new vaguely relevant method, deletes its code without even reading it--and everything works. fucking lmao

What a fucking let down.
>>745890479>do people really play an autism sim with the most autistic of mods?Yeah.Just wait until that sex mod gets ported to b42 and you'll see nothing but it anytime this games discussed.
>>745891380So... people on actual copies (pirated 42.0.0) aren't affected? This is just some scrub paid version bullshit? literally who cares then
>>745891556>literally who cares thenLegitimately nobody, it's a bug that affects nobody and it was only brought up by one of Lemmy's mindbroken rape victims. Now you see why these people are such a plague
>>745891463what else is there to even do?
>>745891741If it was a better game there would be a battle royale where he takes his awesome loot and fights against other players wearing various anime/clown outfits in a struggle to be the last man standing. But nooo, not this shit ass fucking game of crapness
>>745891741he should have had at least 7,000 kills in 100 days in LV. When someone starts a blacksmithing grind in a 100 days video you kind of expect to see them use it. Dude just leveled up, chopped trees, burned charcoal and called it a day when he hit 100. The video already has 100k+ views in 24 hours btw.

>>745891556its a bug on stable versionpirated copies of stable version are affectignore the faggot saying its a minor bug because it quite literally affects everyoneshitters who play on low pop settings do notice because its hard to tell if its just low pop settings or the bug doing its thingif you are not a shitter and play at least 8x to 16x pop, you can easily tell
>>745890996Zomboid isn't, though. The zombie population is the real population of the area it depicts, and distribution is based on population density so you'll have literally a million zombies inside louisville but basically nothing out in the countryside's few urban areas.And the settings are very configurable.
>>745891882you need neatui mod for menus. Assuming you are on apocalypse just run to a house with few zombies, kill them by pushing/stomping their heads, and slowly keep expanding. Zombies don't really move, like at all. Once you clear an area it stays clear and you just keep expanding your sphere of influence.

Just found out about the new zombie dissapearing bug. I will now be deleting 90% of zombies in my world before I fight because that is now the most effective tactic available. Don't like it? Fix the bug.
>>745891883so this is the latest CDDA troll, got it
>>745890996>>745892106The logic is that people tried to flee. Same reason why most of the cars left in town have no gas or there are pileups on the highways.That said the abandoned orphanage shouldn't have zombies.
>>745892424You don't need dick around with janky bugs and debug mode for that, you can just use custom settings play with only 10% zombies.
I am tired if CDDA browns shitting up these threads because their own is already a piece of shit. The devs of that game are fucking retarded and you have to play offshoots. It's boring but at least keep it to the containment zone fuck
>>745891883If you could actually read the code you'd know it doesn't affect anyone and what you're seeing doesn't even delete 1% of zombies nevermind 90%
>>745885216
>>745889497>>745890948>>745891051>>745892578>>745892794All the same person btw. Cataclysm derangement syndrome be like
Derangement syndrome would definitely be coming back to the same thread you don't like every single day to lose the same argument again and again forever. Therefore, CDerangement syndrome cannot exist, because nobody makes CDDA threads.
>>745886598Kyaru is so cute
>>745893272what you gonna do about it zomboidfag?
>>745885216Which body mod is that? That's not Tomb's is it? I only make male characters most of the time but I sometimes get an itch to make a goonbait megaslut
Can I mod the shit out of cars like welding steel shielding on it?
>>745893189then explain to me faggotalso take in consideration all the videos posted on the indiestone forums
why is firearm repair so rudimentary? they got this super elaborate system in place to repair melee weapons and even making new weapons out of broken ones but chose to go with the fallout 3 method of bashing 2 guns together and hoping for the best?
>>7458852160 strength is easy, 0 fitness is a fucking nightmare. That XP bar just wont budge no matter what you do.
>>745893734Because firearms are equally rudimentary and ammo is extremely limited.
>>745893734Because it requires machining which is ahead of the tech they've added. For some reason they've targeted medieval-tier weapons and no further. Shouldn't be hard for modders to add in though
>>745893561clearChunkForReplace is a private method at lines 702–716 of the original ZombiePopulationManager.java. Its job is replace, not add: the zombie population sim runs in native code (PZPopMan64.dll), and each tick updateMain() pulls a batch of "add zombie" commands out of a ByteBuffer and turns them into real zombies via addZombieStanding/addZombieMoving. Both of those call clearChunkForReplace(square.getChunk()) immediately before createRealZombieAlways(...), so whatever Java-side zombies already stand in that chunk get wiped first and the native simulator's list doesn't stack on top of them. You don't know how the zombie simulation actually works, because you are a retarded nigger, so you just see random shit happening in a UI somewhere on some faggot's youtube essay and you don't know what it means or does or how to interpret it. You need to forgive Lemmy for raping you.
>>745885115convince me to buy this
>>745893734because the devs are retarded. thinking that people will for whatever reason go back to caveman status instead of crafting pipe guns and homebrew ammo is retarded.

>>745885197Best is to start a solo run to get the gameplay mechanics down. Multiplayer servers loot is always highly contested. Especially if the server has been on for more than a week all of the loot in the four main spawns will be mostly gone.
>>745893358CDDA thread is on /vg/
>>745894482I thought /rlg/ died.But at least it lived much longer than PZ generals.
>>745893734the way the use for firearms is so limited in the current version I dont even consider them repairable - theyre quite literally pump and dump weapons.
>>745894047nice AI summarywho the fuck talked about "add zombie" here when we are talking about something deleting them?also did not even mentioned the hard video evidence from multiple sourcesfucking braindead trying to defend unintended game breaking bugs ("zombies getting deleted in my zombie game? seems fine to me") for no good reason
>>745895047>who the fuck talked about "add zombie" here when we are talking about something deleting them?What the fuck do you think the word replace in "clearChunkForReplace" means you 80 IQ subhuman nigger? Do they not have that word in Mogadishu?
>>745894047>>745895047NTA but I think this is about replacing the fake zombies used for the population and migration sim with ones the player can interact with and kill. The bug is wiping some of the real zombies in the process of switching from the sims
>>745895097coolnow be a good goy and suck indiestone dick by saying everything is fine and everyone is wrongtheres no bugs in my perfect autistic the sims game with no zombies because they get deleted
Is this game worth playing solo?
>>7458852160 strength with extra fitness is piss easy because you can excersise a lot with the extra fatigue recovery. STR is very easy to level up, specially if you find dumbbells. But fitness takes years to max out.
What are the best car mods?some Mad Max shit
>>745885115Is this game actually any good? I've been thinking about trying it but I keep getting the impression that its only a 20-40 minute loop before all the novelty will wear off. What are the selling points? What can you do in the game? Is it just 'survive for a little while then zombies get you anyway?'?
>>745895723dumbells and barbells are worse than push-upspic related push-ups first with more xp, barbell and dumbell exercises all give the same xp
>>745895687it's a grindfest that doesn't respect your time
>>745891640>Legitimately nobody, it's a bug that affects nobodyit affects anyone who doesn't clear out a horde the second they see it.see an interesting location but its swarming with zeds? walk out of the cell and back again and they are gonehappens to anyone who plays for more than an hour
>>745885317This, either go all in on or dump stat, you can bring up strength to regular levels in a month (and manageable in a week) and you don't need to be super fit if you manage your fights. Just walk away lol. What's far more important is weapon skill, and even if you're a weakling you can use pushes and fences to stomp zombies on the ground. Sucks the devs removed the overweight / underweight traits, gorging on junk food for the first couple of weeks was fun. A whole stick of butter is what's for dinner nigger.
>>745895246Yes, it's confusion about how the sim/real zombie system works, the game is tracking the real effective zombie population which is not magically dropping by hundreds of zombies at a time but it also isn't magically remembering where every single zombie in the game is standing because it would grind everything to a halt. There does appear to be a real bug with specifically indoor zombies which are generated in a different way so there may be losses (~<5%) depending on how urban the area is and it would be a one-time thing, not every time a chunk boundary is walked over or whatever the fuck the larpers are hallucinating>>745895417Go ahead and make a game that tracks the 100% accurate state of tens of thousands of zombies in real time and report back to us retard. Everyone is frustrated with Zomboid but let the people who actually enjoy the game talk about skill bloat or whatever instead of Lemmy's mindbroken assrape victims mouthing off about shit they don't understand.>>745896085I just walked back to the area where I killed hundreds of zombies during the helicopter even and there's still hundreds of zombies there. You're just straight up guessing now. Go larp elsewhere

>>745885216the way I understand it its actually meta to get puny to pay for athletic.
>>745897369He's literally just looking at the funny dots and shapes and can't even decipher the numbers that are literally on the screen telling him what's happening. Lemmy's grooming victims are literally the dumbest people on the planet, we need to make the captcha way harder
just state your reasoning on why this should not be fixed and why you must not discuss it without sounding like an indiestone bootlicker
>>745897712>people playing the game that has had 5 radical changes to the entire spawn system in the last 6 months assume it's just how it's supposed to be in the current iteration, therefore it's not a bug because people assume it's just more Lemmy retardationWhat a weird shill you are, and so heinous too, you sound like lemmy or sully themselves just coming to screech at us.
>>745898008Simple: because I don't spastically teleport around the map back and forth until the simulation is completely confused, and the performance drop caused by maintaining all of those states in real time would cause a much more dramatically visible issue that you would be crying about instead. Let me know when you have a way to perfectly simulate thousands of zombies with no virtualization/handoff/loss of accuracy, I'll have the Turing award ready.
>>745895861it's a simulation of the zombie apocalypse. You're expected to find real ways to survive and kill lots and lots of zombies.
>>745898008You control the keys you press. :)
>>745898218you missed the part where this was not a problem before stable update
>>745896352>there are certain skills that are truly useless in the endgameThats like every game with skills ever..>>745898154You dont need to invent problems with PZ, they have enough bugs on their plate.42.19 had the UI bug42.20 now has fucked loottables from what i have seen.No need to harp on a bug that 0.1% of players will ever encounter/notice.
>>745898008>just state your reasoning on why this should not be fixedi simply dont give a shit about "balance" or "difficulty" nor will i until lemmy sells this IP to someone who is competent, taking this game "seriously" is retardedif zombies despawn when i noclip around the map, who cares, they respawn when i dont which makes even less senseanyway here's my base: 1% sprinters+insane pop, i intend to move to louieville fresh with no loot (other than a car) after i survive the first year here
>>745898218The funny thing about this bug is that it's going to happen to every competent player whether they know it or not. If you're trying to clear guns unlimited with melee it will take many many trips and you will have to run off to sleep and rest a lot. The horde will be slow deleted bit by bit every time you do.
>>745898336No I didn't. I saw a post about a fucking retard randomly commenting out lines of code like I used to do when I was 8 years old, which would result in his zombie population doubling randomly because he is now stacking simulated zombies on top of his real zombies. I'm sure this would satiate some fag who only owns the game because he wants to teleport around the map and look at hordes instead of fight them, but not for the reason he expects.
>retard thinks this only happens on high pop>retard thinks this only happens with debug mode on >retard thinks this only happens when you use fast move on debug modeyeah, you worthless maggot is not worth discussing itsomething something "larper" you redditors say?

>>745898616The shill is just throwing out a billion insults trying to fit in while obviously covering for lemmy's incompetence.
>>745896352This skill system is so bloated and poorly thought out it's actually insane.Why should Fitness and Running be separated? That just adds complexity for no reason.

the jeet seethes when identified
>>745898830You're seriously mindbroken bro, I just got here and am >>745898410Calm down. You gotta accept this game in its completely fucked up state until they sell the IP. Attaching your emotional state to zomboid of all things is literal insanity. Either play it with mods that fix 30% of the jank or don't. Seething here is retarded.
>listen bro, you simply have to care about that bug you never encountered!!I dont think i will.>>745898801>Why should Fitness and Running be separated?Makes sense, its not like long distance runners and strongmen share physique, endurace and shit.
>>745899049>Just accept I am right bro if you just hit this ashwaganda you'll just accept me broNo thanks
>bug can happen if you walk around the town>bug can happen by driving a car>bug can happen with meta events pulling zombies with sound>helicopter>bug can happen the instant you load up a save near hordes>its fine bro I only play apocalypse, theres barely any zombies on the world to get deleted
>>745899274That used to be fire. Now you have to stop and sit on the ground every 15 zombies lmao
>zombies in my zombie game? >lemmy has my permission to delete them because my playthroughs are farming only playthroughs
>>745899096If you can run fast, you are very likely a fit person.Bringing up edge cases like that just makes you look retarded.
>zombies are virtualized/manifested if their relative position to the player changes! like a UMMNNNHHH boat!Yeah that's how that works
>>745896352One of my mods that up skill book spawns broke knapping book spawns so i dont have any and havent noticed at all after ~100 hour playthrough lmao, never touched it. Only use i'd have for it would've been axes early game but i just cleared a fire station and got 4 axes and 5 hatchets. The wildman part to this update was a giant waste of time.>>745899132I have no idea what you're trying to communicate. Your 3rd worlder -> english translator must be broken. I'm not trying to be "right" about anything, I just want you to stop seething so hard at a clearly fucked up and jank IP. Why would you do that to yourself? We all know the game is dogshit and most of us bought it ~7+ years ago and reinstall every few years. If you're not used to retarded game-breaking bugs like this then its clear you bought the game recently. Just keep bullying lemmy on the normalfaggot websites until he sells. Is "killboxing" realistic? Does office cubicle tiles being the strongest item in the game max sense? No, who cares about the zombie spawns that they may/may not fix 2+ years from now when they get around to it. Either have fun with it or play something else.
>>745899380>combat is all about backpeddling>the most you can do is shove them, bonk them on ground if they are crawling or die to retarded knife/spear excecution animations>fire
>secure a building>solve water and power>horde a year of dry food and milkyep thats build 42 done. see ya in 5 years when 43 drops!
>>745899620go play dead rising.
>>745899549And now you're writing me big gay love novels because you're embarrassed. I'll catch you up to speed since you admit you just got here: the other guy is intentionally lying because he hates Zomboid and doesn't play it, and I've echoed that Zomboid is in a frustrating state, but we don't need retarded fucking mindbroken Russians in here lying 24/7 to prove it. Now put your boyfriend's cock down.
>>745899380I think most people just turn off muscle strain. I don't know a single person out of the ~10 guys i know that plays with it.
>>745899663Stopped at "gay love novel", not reading your self projection and wont respond to you anymore. Have a nice day sarr
>>745885115Not gonna lie the map is way fucking bigger than I thought it would be.
Concession accepted good sir.
>>745899663>despite everything he still denying the existence of the bug and think the code is doing working as intended>also saying others are just haters and dont play the perfect zombie game with no zombie deletion bug
Pots more coomer mods webms, I'm curious to see if it's actually worth the bother.
>optimizations are... LE BUGS!
>>745899825who are you talking to?>>745899950Ivan, we have AI now, please translate your posts properly.
>lol he is an ESL>everything he says is invalidim predicting your faggot ass
>>745899997>retard things an MP setting should somehow affect SP savesdont ask me why we can change it on single player settings but that shit only works on multiplayer
>>745900023>>lol he is an ESL>>everything he says is invalidnot whoever you're mad at but yeah that's 100% true
>>745899704not even muscle strain it's the tired moodle
>>745900109>shartnigger reveals himself to be the thread shitteryeah...
>>745895047This video is a very good and practical demonstration of the bug. I managed to delete entire hordes around Muldraugh without the help of debug mode's zombie map.And I'm not deeply familiar with the zombie spawning system distances, I just used that video to estimate my distances.
>>745899997The bug is the same regardless of zombie count setting.
>>745895047this is actually a good thing btw. the zombie hordes get too big which will add lag to your game and make it harder to do the fun things like make pottery and level glassblowing
i diededfence lunges are so damn cheesy
>>745900587are those lifebars a mod
>>745899471>>745899471>If you can run fast, you are very likely a fit person.Sure. Because you have higher than average strength and fitness like an average sprinter, those guys are buff.On the other side of spectrum are marathon runners - thin, almost skeletons with massive Fitness but low str and strongmen like Eddie Hall with low fitness and massive str.And thats why those are two different attributes in game.
>>7459003123rd worlders dont belong on the internet, it was a mistake to give you this technology, sorry>there are certain skills that are truly useless in the endgameyeah ive never touched that gay faggot like like blacksmithing and masonry and whatnot, i know the knight armor gives you basically infinite bite protection but that just feels too much like cheatingelectrical is so dumb because it could be the best skill in the game but its not used at all: solar panels (which would be a great end-game goal since 90s panels were horribly inefficient and would require crazy setup and maintenance), automated crop watering+pesticide dispersal, motion sensor alarms, triggers, etc.you could basically copy/paste wiremod out of gmod or a lot of systems out of rust's electical branchalso WHERE ARE THE FUCKING NPCS AND QUESTS AND FACTIONS?!
>>745900637yerits called combat text or something like that
>retard thinks using ingame system to craft things is somehow cheating
>>745900842>WHERE ARE THE FUCKING NPCS AND QUESTS AND FACTIONS?!Slayer (the bandits guy) gave us one quest but sadly you have to make your game fallout:zomboid to experience it. Also I've never finished it, I died after the first mission because my suit ripped on the surface but it was pretty good before that happened.I agree about the electrical branch. The solar panel thing is another mod you can download too. IDK about the others though.
>dude high skills allow you to make potent stuff after all the effort and the grind>thats like cheating and shitThere are no words in all the tounges of man to properly express how much i hate faggots like you.Doubly so for a single player, highly moddable games.
>>745900667strength and fitness are already two separate skills in the game brogood job agreeing with him
>>745901158Oh he released another? I'll have to try it out. Week one was funny.>>745901070>>745901267hi samefag, yeah effectively removing bites from the game is bad design, cry about it, "BUT ITS END GAME" so you want to make the endgame MORE boring? why? theres nothing to do and no challenge
>>745901297>>745901297He is disagreeing with me, cant you fucking read?>>745901401>you sunk huge amount of time and resources into something and you should be as weak as when you started because reasons!!Fags like you defended Oblivion level scaling and there is not a circle of Hell deep enough for your ass.
>>745901582character power increase is fine but it can be taken too farall it does is invalidate the main mechanic of the game: easy 1-hit death by a boring and tedious grind, its too strong, which is why i call it cheatingcope/seethe, you didnt beat the game and other ragebaits, etc. etc. etc.>fags like you defended oblivion level scalingwhat? you okay anon?
>>745901401Is that armor even really useful, or do you overheat and become exhausted while moving like a snail with a suicidal character?
sneaking and lightfooted are too similar. They also get almost exactly the same amount of xp. Just merge them together already.
should i play this or cdda
>>745887741>theres a bug that deletes zombiesThis is how you thrived.>theres also a bug that spawn/duplicate zombies endlesslyThis is how you died...
>>745901858How the fuck is it easy when its one the ass end of long and tedious grind?its a natural progression of the character - in rpg's you become godlike in the end ( if the game isnt some faggy ""realistic"" bullshit ), in shooters you get uber guns, in survivial games you go from naked hobo to master craftsman with an amazing gear and secure safe location.
>>745902048>>745902045see >>745902008
All this bitching and complaining and talking about glitchesBarely a single person talking about enjoying the game. The game is fun and highly replayable. It scratches my itch perfectly for grind/loot/basebuilding/survival. >chilling in warehouse radio says tropical storm. High winds low visibility heavy rain. Luckily I got my rain barrels built.
I wonder if the modding in this game will ever reach the level of producing total conversions. Would love to see something like STALKER being re-created in it>NPC AI for Stalkers>Animal AI for mutated animals>Modified zombie AI for humanoid mutants>Anomalies are basically landmines with fancy VFX that occasionally spit our artefacts
>>745902008I've played both for hundreds of hours
>>745902008No idea, i like both.Depends what you want.>>745902110I enjoy it altough the arbitrary missing shit and wierd dev autism is driving me up the wall, same with Rimworld.
>>745902157>>745902146so cdda is better
>>745902172Turn based is too casual for me
>>745902064Do you identify as an LGBTQIA++2S ally?
>>745902206so cdda filtered you?
>>745902172They scratch different itchesZomboid is better if you have friends since setting up pseudo-multiplayer for Cata is just pure jank
Best zombie settings? I like few zombies but them being insanely dangerous / fast at night especially.
>>745902247Sorry, I don't play any of the updates that were done by troons. I only play early versions of CDDA.
>>745901582>cant you fucking read?Can you?>Why should Fitness and Running be separated?>Fitness and RUNNING>retard starts going on about Fitness and STRENGTH insteadwhat's next, you're going to argue that Strength and Carry Weight should be two different things too?
>>745902048"easy 1 hit death" is the main mechanic of the game and if you remove it you add even less content to the already less-than-kenshi-barebones-sandbox experience"boring tedious grind" is the blacksmith shittwo different things anonsorry, i dont wanna sit in a base and craft 500 iron rods to stick up my ass and dont think people who do should be rewarded with psuedo-god-mode, its fucking boring, just enable debug and put godmode on if you want that, snoozeville
>>745902172Define better. CDDA has one major advantage over PZ = random map.
>>745902276No respawns, no level scaling. Full population from day 1 and every kill is one less zombie in the world.
>even the retard admits theres nothing to do and theres no challenge>"no you cant complain about it because you will all lie. the game is perfect">"also samefag lol"
>>745902276night horde moda few percent sprinters, maybe 3 to start? change it later to tastehigh/very high popinsane is kinda just tedium and a waste of time, you avoid the same areas and use the same tactics on very high, it just takes longer to clear areas
>>745902254real time filtered you
>>745902520zomboid is too easy for me, theres no challenge. you just sit in a base forever after a week
>>745902558cdda is too easy for me, you have literally infinite time to make the perfect decision, 0 threat at all
CDDA has more challenge because it has more events and enemy variety. Your base is never safe
>>745902319Oh god i legit read Strength..But still it makes sense - fitness is overall general endurance, running is just that. Its shouldnt be merged, they should add more fit things to do like jumping, rolling, grabing ledges, scaling walls etc.>>745902332You can remove this "main mechanic" in a fucking game settings too.>two different things anonNo its not - you do the bullshit boring tedious grind and you are rewarded with massive boon aka ability to dodge one hit kills. You do this if you dont want to just straight up remove the bites in mod menu.Thats basic work-reward system.
>>745902595enjoy sitting in your base forever with infinite water and food
>>745902608actually its always safe because i can let it run on my computer for 500 hours and nothing happens
>>745902656nah ima go outside (in real time)
>>745902665now move around and watch as you instantly die because it filters your zoomgroid brain
>>745902687nah you dont have to do that though? nothing will EVER attack your base in the vanilla zomboid. you can hide forever and never leave.
>>745902727i don't need massa to whip me to make me do something. ill do it because i wanna
>>745902694>now move aroundi cant move around, i dont have a character, its just a bunch of multicolor letters on a screen, i can do the same thing in microsoft word and "pretend" there are zombies too>>745889497
>>745902789>>745902829sorry buddy if ascii filtered you theres tilesets with real graphics too and isometric graphics as well
>>745902915>using a tilesetyou didnt play the game
>>745902915>you can go from buttfuck ugly mode to buttfuck ugly modeno thanks, im not filtered by real-time so i don't need to do that
>>745891463But that's the only thing to do in this game though?
>>745902829>>745889497the cdda dudes are the exact same as the dwarf fortress retards, dogshit game they try to pretend is good because its ascii-shit and old and gets blown out by a superior competitor, and they do nothing but shitpost in the competitor's threads trying to sound superiorthen the game finally gets updated with actual graphics and wow-gee, the game is dogshit and abandoned in favor of the superior versionits the epitome of uncslop
new char, refined modlist a bit. going to try and play into the lifestyles mod or whatever its called. already found an electric guitar and some paints
if this wasnt a dog then why would he be in front of this doghouse? checkmate atheists.
>>745903110>background>clothesMods?
>>745890479Oh boy wait until you get to rimworld
>>745903110>lifestyles mod or whatever its calledenjoy needing to shit every 10 minuteshorrible mod
>>745887139Beer for breakfast seems like a bong thingThose niggers are sinking pints at the airport at like 5am
>>745903195lifestyle mod that adds new layers to gameplay to make it sims like. what kind of music they like or dislike is random thoughthe clothing is from tomb's body goth alternative clothing or something like that.
>all these sluts dressed up in egirl clothes who all have shit fitness/strength who realistically wouldn't survive 5min into a zombie apocalypse
they should add a chemistry skill that requires like 9 glassmaking to craft beakers and shit and also lets you synthesize your own estrogen injections that would be hella dope
>>745903354its the perfect time to do my puny female gun only playthrough since I can just delete all the zombies by walking now.
>>745903320I meant the background on character photo, not the "like X music".
>>745903494oh, "twistonfire better character info"
So when I look at this moodle it makes me think you should never ever fight when you are even out of breath. I've seen videos of people killing zombies well into exhausted though. Is the damage reduction not that bad or are you just still able to critical hit and kill zombies that way with high skill?
>>745903597you should never play a character with less than 10 fitness unless you want to sit on the ground for 5 minutes every 10 kills
>>745903597https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LGQKVdwtXEbzdzzCWJg4ECTRklg3ux7o4i7yE_qf7t8/edit?gid=158341901#gid=158341901most good weapons do double the maximum hp of a normal zombie
>>745903358gonna need a bit more than basic chemistry and glassmaking, sis
>>745903597the damage reduction is lessened the higher your skill is but it's still pretty bad
>>745903672sounds like a really poorly designed mechanic/game
>>745885115>How fare thee runs, lads?I started in march and am now in july on default extinction settings with 1% sprinters. Completely raped riverside of everything and going to nearby towns now.The other anons were right. I finally allowed myself to use the zomboid map to find towns and am just playing sims at this point. Not much to do. Game really, REALLY needs NPCs/factions/quests.Found a game-breaking fishing bug so i have infinite food, fortified base, farm, etc. built up, Hit the army surplus store for guns and enough 556 to last forever.I didnt touch glassmaking or blacksmithing or anything like that. It seemed kinda lame. Maybe i should?I downloaded the bandits mod to add something to do but they drop too much loot so i dont take any of it. Its nice to have them spawn in sometimes, keeps you on your toes.Do I just move to louisville now? Is there any reason to do that?
>>745903934t. too scared to progress because of permadeath
>>7459036729 is enough. It's the last big breakpoint.
>>745903918it is! and the extra cool thing is theres a second mechanic that doesn't care about fitness at all so even if you are an olympic athlete you will still get muscle strain and do less damage unless you have high level weapons skills!
>>745904219what? im asking what to do, is louisville "progress" if its just more zombies and nothing useful?
>>745903110>>745903119>>745903195cdda won
>>745904360Have fun, im playing PZ.
>>745904360can you comment on my dog please?
>>745903060Dwarf Fortress actually is good now that it had the siege update where enemies dig and raid like they do in Rimworld and you don't just have an invincible wall blocking off the world. Just say you're a tourist
I dont know if the new build is actually good, but the way zombies sometimes ragdoll instead of falling into their classic death pose is extremely funny.
>>745904397nta but if i put two animals in a pen of the same sex and feed/water them do they survive forever? i dont want to breed shit for food i just want pets
Power shut down after 1 month and 13 days. I got 5 generators and 8 gas cans. I am scared.
>>745903934There's no reason to do anything in zomboid. You have to decide how you want to waste the time. If you'd be satisfied with a harder area, then by all means move somewhere harder, but there's no reason to risk cleaning up a city outside of your own desire for something to do.
>>745904568you'll be fine, there is a low-zombie-pop gas station down the southern road next to the drive-in cinemarosewood firestation really is the easiest shit ever
>>745904532yes they survive forever. but you want a male and female cow for infinite milk not breeding
>>745904659>There's no reason to do anything in zomboid.If you don't do anything the character will die
>>745896675How did you get it so HD? Mine doesnt look as detailed and close up as yours? Mod name?
>>745904716That is the goal of the game is it not? The game is a story of how you died. Ideally you would find a way to have fun before that, but Zomboid does not consider survival a goal.
>>745904532two dudes of the same species will kill each other. two females would be fine forever.
>>745904659That's basically what I was asking. If theres nothing really unique to gather/acquire in louisville i dont see the point. Maybe if the higher-tier crafting shit was locked there I'd go but I might just end my run here after getting some specific furniture and decorating a bit.Game was really good for the first 10-30 hours but there really isnt an endgame at all. Kinda sad.
>>745904874No that's actually the fail state?
>>745904568>Rosewood Fire Station base
>>745904954There is no fail state, and there are no win conditions. Zomboid is a sandbox, you just roll up another character when you want to play more.
>>745904997The fail state is dying
>>745904920>>745904703okay thanks i just found an animal trailer
>>745904661I want the decorate the insides with proper furniture before I move everything from those boxes inside.>>745904960It makes me feel safe. Don't worry, I'll build an outpost in every city.
>>745889497Im the original CDDA poster. Its my biggest cultural contribution.
>>745905035so whats the win state?
>>745905115There is none
is it weird if I get more pumped finding a four-color pen than an actual weapon
>>745905035It's a sandbox, there are no fail states in a sandbox. Characters in Zomboid are inherently disposable. You do not lose the game when one dies. Much in the same way you do not with the game at any point.I hesitate to consider Zomboid a game in the first place really. It's more a simulator you can fuck around in for a while.
>>745905180so the only winning move is don't play?
>>745885115keep shilling constantly and you'll become a general, faggot. Fuck off with this garbage. There's no way this game is getting this much attention organically suddenly after all this time. >it got an updatebullshit nothing has changed it's still the same boring trash as it's always been
my problem with this game is that the main appeal is object hoarding (the zombies work perfectly to be the counter-force to getting the objects), and that once you don't want more objects it immediately stops being appealing.it's like shopping, but you pay with zombie fights instead of money.i think this game could attract me again if there was a 100% safe zone with npcs who cant leave the safe zone and it becomes a mix of hoarding and the sims community larping.
>>745905232it did get a huge influx of normalfags along with the update THO.
>>745905203Dying ends the sandbox and therefore is the fail state. Holy shit lol you guys will pick a fight with the sky>>745905228The opposite of being dead is being alive, so as long as the character is alive, they are succeeding. There is no win condition
Started new Cryo Winter run in Rosewood and i ended up in a new location - a small home near the drive in theatre to the south... Which sucks ass because im far from any supplies and safe temperatures.>>745905069>It makes me feel safe.For me its the Rosewood home, south east from the school. Had my comfiest run there.
>>745885115I have never played this game and I never will but it makes exceptional sleep content. Thank you sleep farmers.
>>745904874Indeed, but autists will not understand this.
>>745905348Dying does not end the sandbox, You can immediately roll up another character and go back to the same exact base you were already in. Maybe kill your previous characters reanimated corpse if you feel like it along the way.Zomboid does not have a failstate.
>>745905462The sandbox is intrinsically connected at every level to the character which has progress that reset upon death. You can spawn a new character sure but there's no difference between that and starting an entirely new save with identical settings and advancing time or whatever. You don't know what a fail state is because your definition doesn't even survive loading a checkpoint making it useless. The sky is also blue
>>745905664That's the last straw!
>>745905664You seem very upset that someone actually understands what words mean and that you don't.I hope you find peace on your path.
>>745905721I accept your concession. See you next time you retry this argument despite already losing several times.
>spawn the car I have in real life>drive around to every feasible source of alcohol and cigarettes>ingest them all>do this until the car breaks down and I get eaten
So what do i do after i have infinite food and water
>>745905717>goypass user since 2020
>>745905792You're ridiculous. Are you trolling? I have to assume you are trolling. People don't act this braindead on purpose.
>>745906067I accept your second concession. A third one will not be necessary.
>try out the game>zombies seem to just innately know where you are at all times, even if you're in a home with all curtains closed and doors locked>go outside for a microsecond>15 zombies hone in on your location and you either have to die or sprint to run away, which causes more zombies to chase you to the end of the earth
>>745906061I gotta have my poss.
>>745906139And that's why it's kino
>>745905306bullshit. Why now of all the updates? Doesn't matter what they added, it's still the exact same game.
>>745906162bro fuck you they used to have those in my country for like 2 years 30 years ago then they disappeared. I want to get some online but I just know they'll have changed the recipe and they'll taste like shit.
>>745906228idk about other normalfags but i just happened to see a video from a youtuber i watch.
>>745906112So definitely a troll. I'm sorry I wasted any time talking to you in the first place.
>>745906139>zombies seem to just innately know where you are at all times, even if you're in a home with all curtains closed and doors lockedyou made noise, they can hear, they dont know you're inside if you make no noise and have no LOS>15 zombies hone in on your location and you either have to die or sprint to run away, which causes more zombies to chase you to the end of the earthyou can lose them by breaking LOS, going through homes, windows, around fences or buildings, etc.I had the same exact experience my first few runs and almost got filtered. Its good until you finish building up a base with cars and whatnot. Nothing to do after that.
>>745906332They're pretty good still. The only cereals in my area that changed a lot were Lucky Charms and Honey Combs.
>>745906375how have you not seen it before? It's old as fuck
>>745906379Whatever helps you cope.
>>745906408when I was a kid, they were balls now they look like nuggets. Maybe ours were different in shitstralia
>>745906228>Why now of all the updates?because they reworked a lot of the map including the original locations and they're all much more sovl-ful, the lighting update helps a lot too, and you dont need to opt-in to some optional beta on steam to access italso yeah the jewtube shilling, the zomboid creators basically had no content to make for over a year
>>745906603>>745906709>>745906571So what do i do after i have infinite food and water
>>745906745You have to drink the water and eat the food
>>745906535i probably had seen it in passing but i wouldnt have taken notice just cuz. same with kenshi and rimworld. i had seen them before i just now happened to get into them.
>>745906745You use the zomboid online map and find furniture to decorate, or go to some high-pop zombie location and fight until you die or get bored.
>>745906745you improve your quality of lifeyou learn to fix up your car so you don't have to continuously replace it each time you go out for lootyou learn carpentry so that you can pick up better furniture to keep all your stuff organizedyou learn carving so you can make your own baseball batsyou grow your own tobaccoyou trap rabbits and butcher them for meatetc...just like voices of the void, your objective is to live a better life, not to survive some eldritch horror
>>745906874>>745906801so what challenge happens when i have infinite food and water and my base is safe>>745906915so what challenge will happen if i stay in my base
>>745906847I can understand that but that only explains you. I don't believe a whole bunch of attitudes suddenly changed the same as yours did
>>745906976>so what challenge will happen if i stay in my baseNothing will happen, just like if you sit at home and do nothing but post on /v/ collecting neetbux.
>>745906976nonedwarf fortress, often considered the pinnacle of sandbox games, has no challengesyou can simply wall yourself off in that game and live forever
>>745906976nothing, you just restartgreat, isn't it? Definitely worth starting a general over
>>745907067so what is the fun part of the game
>>745907092the same part that is fun in stardew valleyyou improve your homestead by grinding and farmingand eventually live a cozy life
>>745907076yeah but you can build cool forts. Has the building in this game gotten any better? Last time I played, you could barely build a cube house and only after a shit ton of grinding
>>745907092the ~20-50 hours building up the base into whatever version you consider "complete">but that's not funI know what you're doing and its fine if you don't like the game. Just like Kenshi, not every game is made for everyone.
>>745907175you can but why would you?
>>745907169>>745907183okay so what do i do when my base is totally complete
>>745907076>you can simply wall yourself off in that game and live foreveryou cant though, look up siege update. the enemies now dig and break walls and build to get inhttps://store.steampowered.com/news/app/975370/view/530987265859522075
>>745907169>you improve your homestead by grindingoh so it's nothing like dfin that you don't have to grind shit, you get your dwarves to do it and do other things
>>745907227you haven't reached that point, ask again once you actually have fully built a basenot just a shack with a plumbed rain collector
>>745906976>>745907092I don't know what you mean by challenge and fun. These are effeminate emotional words that mean something to you personally, but might mean something different for me. In either case, once you have food, water, and safety, you have to eat, drink, and stay safe.>>745907227Use it as a base.
>>745907227Do whatever you'd like. There is no other real progression content left unless you download NPC mods.
>>745907076Even DF is better than Zomboid now that enemies build, dig, and have tactics, so the wall strat no longer works
>>745907227Go on supply runs to different places and pray nothing goes wrong
>>745907271>>745907304DF chads.. they won
>>745907271>>745907283>>745907304people enjoyed DF for decades before thye added tacked in challengesand a lot of people refuse to engage with the updates
>>745907203because that's why I play df. Some of the stuff I've built in that has been cool as fuck
>>745907345>gets blown out by df having actual content and challenge before zomboid has it>buh buh buh it used to NOT have that!!
>>745907354oh I guess I also have a reason to play zomboid
>>745907345>tacked in challengesLol, just say "I got BTFO and even DF has more fun than zomboid now"
>>745907345>standard gameplay mechanics of enemies not being blocked by a single wall>"tacked on challenges"?
>>745907381>>745907424wait so you were not asking the questions in good faith? you just wanted to win the argument...
>>745907381to be fair df has been in development for a lot longer
>>745907345>people enjoyed DF for decades beforeAnd they were autists, now it's a functional game.
people keep saying there is no challenge but they haven't grinded every skill to 10 and killed every zombie on the maplet me know when you do that then maybe you can have an opinion
>>745907454I remember a looong long stretch of time of DF forums and communities talking shit about rimworld for having sappers and drop pod raids
>>745907454>>745907461>>7459074653 second gang yo
>>745907497yes?do we take the opinion of people who got filtered by the ogre about sekiro seriously?
>>745907495Just because you couldn't make it function, doesn't mean it wasn't functional, brainlet
>>745907524who cares about that, rimworld doesn't have z levels and that's the biggest issue with it
>>745907019why not? i'm usually pretty representative of normalfags.
>>745907589you should hit yourself in the dick with a hammer>but that'll hurt!fucking retard, you can't have an opinion until you try it
>>745907667why did DF copy rimworld?
>sleep in unbarricaded house>hear glass break, don't wake up>suddenly pain moodle before waking up>its over.jpg>actually wake up>not dead
The only proper way to play this game is 100% sprinters with low pop. This at least creates tense moments, everything else is slop.
>>745907684oh cool get out
>>745903272You have to shit once a day broThe worst part is the environment beauty, turn that shit off
>he doesnt play with default Apocalypse settingsYou didn't not experience the developers intended vision and have no right to comment on the game.
>>745907709don't do this it does indeed hurt
>>745907751Even zombies don't want to touch trannies
>>745907843did that answer your question?
Reminder these threads are made by a 40 year old friendless autistic man who just wants to argue with internet strangers about a game he doesn't like or play.
>>745907902Usually I'd agree but after 10+ years and no NPCs its clear lemmy is a giant retard so i dont care what his "vision" was.
Is there some mod that adds underground Metro and shit?Not standalone maps, just addon to the vanilla map - i was kinda toying wit the idea of hgaving an underground secured "bunker" or way to move between places..
>>745908013>40yo autistic friendlessdo you have any idea how little that narrows it downit even includes you
>>745907751just a particularly hard night of jerking off, you'll be ok. Put some ice on it and you'll be savaging your dick again in no time
Works on my machine! Maybe the game just hates faggots
>>745908000yeah it answered my question of why is this site so shit now
>>745908013I'm 39I didn't make the thread though so you're obviously not talking about me I don't even match any of that criteria haha...
>>745908543:-)you learned something today!
>>745908381sir you didnt teleport around at light speed 50 times to delete the zombies, SIR THE BUG IS REAL, ITS NOT AN OBSCURE EDGE CASE YOU'D ONLY NOTICE WHILE IN DEBUG MODE, SIR WHAT I FOUND IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, SIR VALIDATE MEEEEE
>>745908381original video has trashy looking mods plastered all over it, probably broke the game with whatever garbage he has installed
>>745908381>that stuttererm braperm braperm brap
>>745898226Any win condition?
>>745908826like what
>>745907721DF always had the plan to have enemies dig. read the plans from the dev you tourist. The wall working to block them was because he focused on other development first and is an autist.
>>745908826no, like kenshi there isnt a win condition>i dont like thatnot my problem :)
>>745908880LOL imagine if zomboid spent 10+ years developing anything but NPCs
>>745906139>>zombies seem to just innately know where you are at all times, even if you're in a home with all curtains closed and doors lockedThis, zombies knew way too much were you are, was annoying. in real life you don't hear people walking in their house.>>15 zombies hone in on your location and you either have to die or sprint to run away, which causes more zombies to chase you to the end of the earthyepI guess I got filtered or people change the sandbox mode
>>745909135you got filtered, once you learn how much memory the zombies have its easy to know when to lose them, breaking LOS twice usually gives the default apoc zombies the slipnot a jab at you, the game doesnt explain it, i got filtered the same way but tried the game again like 3 months later and got over the initial hump
So I'm looking into weapons and I didn't realize how strong it is to add nails or anything really to your weapons. I noticed that rail spikes are crazy good and turn weapons into axes as well. Can I get a shitload of these at the rail station near Fallas Lake or Muldraugh? Or will I have to blacksmith them all if I want that?
>>745905361My spawn home served me well during the first week. I even had a pistol spawn in the wardrobe.
>>745908381were you able to drive right through the horde because of speed demon?
>>745908826It's a simulation not an arcade game. Life in the zombie apocalypse is basically pointless. If anything the endgame is reaching enlightenment and finding joy in the little things. At best you won't be eaten alive.
>>745906139>>zombies seem to just innately know where you are at all timesthis actually used to be an issue where the zombie pathing would update and follow you through walls even though you broke line of sight (for as long as the zombie memory was); it's fixed in b42 so that the zombie pathing "stops" after they lose LoS and they go to your last seen location and then might randomly stop or continue movingwhat your issue might be is that sound travels through wallsrunning and sprinting make way more noise than walkingTVs, radios make noiseyou can reduce it via levels in lightfooted (-10% per level) or having Graceful (static -40%)sneaking works the same and drops the radius even more but only when you are actively sneaking>>15 zombies hone in on your locationyou can drop the zombie ability to see in sandbox but default apoc really isn't that bad, urban areas you start in are just peppered with zombies so statistically one is always looking at you and rolling a sight check every so oftenand yes, you should run away at the start; start clearing towns from the edges so you don't get zombies from every direction and die to being overwhelmed
Do those new cuntgates at gun shops need a sledge to get through, or does welding work? Went into the furniture menu and tried to pick it up with my crowbar, but since the interaction for it was on the opposite side of the gate, I couldnt path to it to complete the order. Found the blackmarket gun shop in Doe Valley camping store, and considering driving back down to my house in Fallas Lake to get the welding mask I forgot. But if its the same pathing bullshit for dismantle as it is for pickup I dont want to waste that day.
>>745911071I opened the one at west point with a welder.
>>745911159sweet, I'll give it a try since I found a trap house with 50 boxes of ammo and a bunch of handguns and theyre weighing me down now.
>>745910118that's a blank character on default settings, it was probably easy because I was in ghost mode and zombies were just walking to a sound instead of actively attacking the car
>>745911071if you have a welding mask and welding torch with enough fuel in it the disassemble option should appear and for me atleast it seemed to be non-directionalthere's also security doors in atleast two gun stores, axes and if you're a long blunt enjoyer any -mauls like bucketmaul break through those easily

when a zombie attacks you, what determines if they scratch lacerate or bite you?
>>745911071in fallas lake you can get into the gunshop by breaking through the wall in the farm supplies storeDid the zombies ate all the backpacks or something? I found one (1) military backpack in the surplus store

>>745912492it rolls to block based on your weapons skill/strength/fitness. if you dont block it does rolls to see if its a scratch>bite. if one of those succeed then it rolls against your clothing to see if you just get a hole or an injuryprobably slightly wrong but thats the basic idea
>>745907271>post steam and mandatory keybind overhaul (mostly removal.)Shan’t be playing that
>>745912618It really is something that you need to install mods to see zombies your character would be easily able to see if it weren't for the camera angle.That shit works for resident evil, but those games don't instakill you the moment a zombie sniffs you too close.
The prison isnt that bad so far
>>745912531loot generation is broken and "overflows" even on default apoc settings making certain things rarer than they should beclothing/textiles/armour loot almost completely overrides backpackswith most loot at 2.0 backpacks get fully overriddenI went 4 months without seeing a single backpack or duffelbag except worn by zombies on a run with 2.0 lootif you're in sandbox get the mod that allows you to change sandbox settings mid run and set container (i.e. bags) loot to 4.0skillbooks and recipe magazines also seemingly suffer from the same issue but not as heavily and you can still find them because they get dedicated loot containers (schools/libraries/bookstores/magazine shelves)
>>745890837>>745885216ack yourself, tranny
>>745912963>the absolute best gameover RNG you can get is 7.8%Looks like I'll continue playing with infections off.I don't get it, what even is the point of even having an elaborate combat system when the only feasible way to play is to avoid ever getting hit? It gets old so fast. This system could only be a good match for a game with short runs, not one where it takes years to grind stats.
>>745912618keep the skilled up character out of trouble, spawn expendable scavengers as additional characters

>power is out>exploring with my .357 and a flashlight in the pitch blackoh yeah that makes the ol balls tingle a bit
what is in books about reloading guns?can I see an IRL book about just reloading guns?
>>745910218>>745908872>>745908901I'm fine with no win condition but the nature of the game itself has to hold up if thats the case, why I was asking about the gameplay loops before.One of you mentioned kenshi, does that mean you can build little bases and outposts and gather survivors? Can you turn a shopping mall or suburb into a fortress with goods and resources for trade with other survivors?
>>745908381yeah thats what happens when you decompile, edit out the bugged method and compile it againany normal non-modified version of the game is bugged atm and deletes zeds
>>745915026jesus christ dude have some dignity lmfao
>>745914893it's like that one episode of the walking dead where they find that black dude living alone in a town full of zombies and he's just gone absolutely fucking crazy and does nothing but chores to hold back the zombies. What else do u expect to happen?
>>745885115How is this turd piece of unfinished crap still so undeveloped and only saved by mods?
>>745915086I expect a sandbox game with this much popularity and as lengthy an early access as its had to be feature rich.
>>745914893kenshi trading is broken lmfao but obviously if the problem is just planned features then yes we all know that if Lemmy hired me specifically and gave me a hundred thousand dollars I could have NPCs done by next week but it will never happen so it's not worth any more mindshare>the nature of the game itself has to hold up if thats the casein what way though. like seriously what are your ideas
>>745915210i doubt you've crafted 10% of items in the game.
>if you try to pick up a bed there's a 50% it explodes into nothing even if you're a trained carpenter>but you can vault 6 feet tall wire fences while carrying a whole refidgeratorthe "realism" in this game is retarded
>>745885216>>745890837only acceptable with the zombie rape mod
>>745893734Honestly, my guess is the devs aren't very proficient or knowledgeable in firearms.
>>745914805There are IRL reloading books, but those are about making ammunition, not putting shells in a shotgun faster.
Candy Van broke down on the way back to Fallas with my gun store loot from Doe Valley. Brain farted and suddenly forgot how tank control work and hit a tree going 40. Managed to limp almost back to Fallas, but the battery gave out on me from all the stalling on my 31% engine. Gonna have to get the pickup and come tow it back home... but that's a problem for tomorrow
>>745916261time for a diet, fatty
>>745915287I haven't played the game at all, I came to this thread because the game intrigued me and I was thinking of trying it, and thats why I was asking about what you can do in it. So far my takeaway is all you do is "survive zombies and do a little crafting" and you can apparantly drive vehicles which is nice. Is that all? Can you build outposts and the like? Are there NPCs to recruit?
>>745916354Im bulking on ice cream while there's still electricity
>>745916383No you have the right of it. NPCs coming soon™ but they have been for years now.
>>745916383pirate it and find out. zomboid is a mile wide and an inch deeptheres lots you can do but the only thing the gameplay loop compels you to accomplish is find food, water and a place to sleep. after that its up to you, most people find that extremely boring and quit after a dozen or so hours.
>>745916383it's more of a solo thing
>>745916656>>745916556>>745916693BRAAAP!sorry
>>745916656>theres lots you can doLike what?
>>745916656im trying out high pop now and hopefully that adds a bit more thrills. I'm going to hopefully figure out how to survive with more zeds and also learn how to blacksmith in one very long run. If I feel confident after I might go for extinction mode. Hopefully high isn't too crazy without tons of kiting or meta shit.
>>745886419this is why people have wanted npcs since forever because theres legitimately nothing to do anymore (in singleplayer) once you get yourself setup
low pop but sprinters >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> slow high pop
>>745916975its a sandbox game with giant map. there is no shortage of tedious bullshit tasks you can make up for yourselfof course you need to be severely autistic to actually enjoy it though
>>745917398name 5 tasks
Did they reduce the number of zombies? I feel like Loiusville especially i used to literally not be able to drive down the streets and now its easy
>>745917413>you can make up for yourself'to be clear i think the game sucks ass but the people who like it will do autistic shit like collecting every microwave in louisville or whatever
>>745917482>did they BRAPPP I PLAY ON EASYIncrease it to insane
>>745917521>collecting BRAPPP I PLAY ON EASYnext
>>745917482theres a bug they haven't fixed in YEARS that just deletes hordes randomly
>>7459174131. reach mechanics 8 so you can restore engines2. reach carving 9 so you can make baseball bats from cut down trees3. reach tailoring 8 so you can fix clothes completely4. reach blacksmithing 10 so you can make swords5. reach carpentry 10 so you will never fail to pick up any piece of furniture
>>745917631>1. BRAPP I PLAY ON EASYWe know. Post settings larpsir
>>745917604me when i lie
>>745917631So just super grindy tasks that make the game easier. Are there multiplayer servers? Like maybe people do social set ups like that Space Station game?
for me:>normal pop>no peak day>utilities never go off>infinite gas at stations>no nutrition system>gyde's trait magazines (extended)
>>745916976you can crank up the difficulty as much as you want, at a certain point you will clear out a big enough area and have enough food stockpiled that there is no reason to keep playing without a tremendous amount of autism and free time
Crossbow with horse mod is fun
>>745917852its well documented
>>745918003where
>>745917908untrue, sprinters that can open doors will assrape you if you download wandering zombies
>>745918015There are multiple examples in this very thread if you choose to look.
>>745918031>if you download wandering zombiesyes the game is different and better with mods that fixed things the devs have ignored for a decade and a half
>>745918063link them or you concede
scurried into the woods, created infinitely sustainable food and water, created base inaccessible by zombies on foot turned off game.

>>745917852https://theindiestone.com/forums/topic/99681-42202-zombie-despawn-issue/As the other anon said it is very well documented.
>>745918154"a lot" of games arent in early access for 15 years with zero meaningful improvements
>>745918119>>745918137That isn't how arguments work, and it really isn't hard to scroll up and read a thread. The examples are right here.

>IT HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS*devs replied yesterday>NOO IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE IN NORMAL GAMEPLAY*doesn't reproduce
>>745918901>trust me the lazy devs that haven't fixed hundreds of bugs over the years are telling the truth this time!!holy cope
>>745918948>it's documented that it has existed for year the devs are lying!!!!!!!!>non-dev documenter: It didn't exist 5 seconds ago
So when is the thing in the third image supposed to happen? i've been set in my base for 6 months and not a single zombie has ever showed up
>>745919032had over a hundred zombies show up yesterday, works on my machine
>>745919097woah that must have been crazy! got a screen shot of that carnage? surely there are still a hundred corpses sitting out there haha
>>745919032I've never had it happen. I had to install mods to get the zombies to actually attack my base.
>>745919032Im not sure either. At the very least on normal pop the meta events don't seem to move the zombies your way at all.
Why the fuck doors close behind me automatically? That didn't use to be a thing, right? And for some reason it happens with garage doors too so after going through only one panel closes and I have to do some bullshit to fix it. What the fuck.
>>745918991heres the 42.20 (stable btw) patch notes where they acknowledge it and claim to have fixed it (they didn't)
>>745919032Assuming you've already cleared the noise radius of your base and don't play with respawning zombies, only whenever a distant horde randomly shuffles towards it. Which might never happen, depending on luck and location. Or if you otherwise happen to pull them in (eg via car noise when you rtb)
>>745919342entirely separate system in the game retard
>>745919419>me when i lie
>>745919408>Which might never happen, depending on luck and locationIt will never happen because migration doesn't actually happen without mods.
>>745919440there is an actual culling system that exists in the game dumbass, you don't know about it
>>745919524oh you're just trolling. alright man have fun!
>>745919570concession accepted
>>745904745oh yeah large character avatar mod too
>>745900442lol. I love this game but can’t deny that sometimes the gameplay loop becomes: clear an area of zombies so you can focus on playing a shitty and tedious version of The Sims.
>>745919497It worked just fine the last time I played but that was a long ago, did they break that too?Based at the gas station south of Rosewood, cleared entire Rosewood, respawns off, still got wandering hordes in previously cleared areas around Rosewood, Muldraugh and even near my base.Before that we always based inside Muldraugh with different settings so it's hard to say if we actually had migrating hordes or just respawns / nearby zombies accidentally lured in
>>745916383Yes, tons of NPCs to recruit, all over town, but right now they're not technically in the game, so you have to LARP that they're there. For example, I've built my base in the schoolhouse, so I LARP that I'm protecting a bunch of children along with a family of adults I rescued from a near burnt-out building. It's tons of fun. Buy it.
>that episode of Exposure Survival that teaches you carpentry and ends with the Woodcraft jingleIm very confused. Is this some sort of inside joke or an error they never bothered fixing?
>>745919927Woah that sounds awesome! I'm gonna buy 4 copies so I can give them away to my imaginary friends and pretend we are all playing together!
>>745920021lol
>>745919032Hordes are dependent on a lot of factors, but it helps if youre actually setting in a town.
>>745920021zomboid is not one of those gay 4ppl couch coop gamesthe servers can host hundredsbetter buy more copies for your entire imaginary friend circle
Hand over the sex server and nobody gets hurt

>>745920145Haha... even in my imagination I'm not THAT popular lol!
>>745920067At mul elementary school and I just fucking overran my entire base because I reversed with speed demon but to be fair I’m not playing with deaf zombies (default baby mode)

should I play Raven Creek or 10 Years Later?
>>745921697i bought this game in 2011 on Desura and they promised NPCS in 2012, so technically NPCs have been in development for over 14 years at this point.

>>745922367yeah so they already made the money, sell the IP and leave? they clearly dont want to do the dev work anymore based on how fucking slow they are
>>745923705They release patches all the time and are working hard to implement NPCs for upcoming builds?
