How fare thee run, bros?
REMINDER: Ignore CDDA-shills, they're trolls. CDDA is picrel. It's completely unplayable unless you're an utter autist, and the devs have done things like prohibit shooting zombies from rooftops because that's "le unfair." People recommending CDDA are trolls.

>>745927349>prohibit shooting zombies from rooftops because that's "le unfair."for real? that's retraded
>house: barricaded>generator: on>food: hoarded>zombies nearby: killed>week: 2Yawn. Time to play something else.
>>745927818NO, clear out your village then drive to another village.
>>745927818>house: barricadedWhy, tho?
>>745927349Game hasn't looked like this in years, any new version comes with built-in graphics. The devs also did not forbid shooting from rooftops, only using short spears from rooftops. You can still use projectile weapons or longer spears from roofs.

>>745928881This. Whats the point of making wooden barricades right in front of your concrete wall?
>>745928881For roleplay. Same reason I've dragged tons of furniture and school equipment such as desks, etc., into my sprawling fortress, for rescued survivors and children to live and learn and rebuild society in this apocalyptic world.>b-but NPCs aren't implemented!Yes, they are. Just use your imagination.
>>745931993>Just use your imaginationWhy when I could just move mannequins into my base and dress them up to IAmLegendmaxx? Then I can RP a character with an imagination.
Reminder that Lemmy made you his BITCH with Build 42.
>>745933871Why do you keep bumping this thread on page 10?
>>745934480? I'm just talking about the game that has thoroughly impressed me enough to want to discuss it with my friends here on 4chan?
>>745927257>zomborut update with bukake textures and multiplayer still not out yet>depraved sense still only jerkoff animations>zobolust still buggy and built around QTEsBit bored to be honest.
any games like zomboid but good?
This game is only fun with the child zombies mod and rape mod. You go from surviving to abducting your favorite child zombies for your rape base. Every time zombies attack it's like they want revenge for the rape, or when bandits attack they want to steal my precious child zombies. It's also fun to keep their pens maintained since they'll try to break them down and decorate their little living (unliving) spaces so it looks nice.

>>745935780>zomborut update with bukake textures and multiplayer still not out yetIsn't the EA version multiplayer-compatible?
>>745936259>Isn't the EA version multiplayer-compatible?Yeah but only the 1.2.4.1 version that's paywalled on their patreon.I checked pawchive.pw and no one's uploaded any of their posts there, so everyone's just kinda screwed until they release the full version, unless there's another kemono alternative I don't know about.
SIGH I CANNOT play Project Zomboid because the thought of playing an OPEN WORLD without an END GAME SCREEN just mind blasts me, and I'm left FLABBERGASTED by the lack of conditions; I am COMPLETELY and UTTERLY devoid of imagination that I cannot conceive playing the game without CLEAR in-game conditions spelled out for me. Why yes, I am entitled and haven't ever had sex.
Im entitled to eating an entire bologna in one sitting
>>745936597This BUT sincerely.
>after 20 days of no rain it's finally gonna stormi'm saved
>>745936597This but ironically
19 days into my first high pop zombie run and it feels like this is how the game should be played once you know what's going on. Zombie migration actually happens when there's a lot more zombies on the streets. You still end up with a pile of weapons after you make it through a few houses but it feels like a much fairer fight overall.>>745936841no one left to judge you, King.
>>745932234god the degenerate shit i would do in a zombie apocalypse knowing there isnt going to be anyone judging me. id probably jerk off onto zombies from the second story at like every chance
>>745936597based king
>>745927257trans coded character
>>745936597I usually enjoy shit like minecraft just for building a comfy zone but zomboid feels especially pointless and empty.
>>745939126the threat never "escalates", so really, you can just get enough cans of food and some water and do nothing forever. theres no "drive" to acquire better gear, its just makes an easy game easier.
>>745935347Get back to work, Lemmy.
>>745939126It is meant to be an endurance test. I assume less than 1% of players ever go past 3 years if that many. You are supposed to play until there is nothing left to loot.
>>745927257I wish I could get into zomboid but it's just a hideously boring game.
>>745927257I'm trans btw
>>745938991got his ass
post your sluts
Zomboid is an amazing game for my dysphoria. I get to dress up as a cute girl and collect pretty outfits. I like to pretend the zombies are transphobic chuds as I bash their brains in :3
>>745927257Water is out and I am now realizing that metal drums just don't collect water anymore because fuck me I suppose
>>745940220there's a mod for thatit's also crazy the garbage cans which are a drum + a bag which is basically what you make with the rain collector recipe but you can't use it as a rain collector because uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
there's no electric heaters in kentucky?can i stick a bbq in my house or will that set everything on fire and/or gas me to death
>>745941630theres no indoor heating mechanic at all. you can get a furnace that wont kill you but it only heats like 5 tiles around it, not the entire enclosed area
>>745928881
>>745927257PZ devs would make millions if they removed the zombies and went all in on life sim game. They're already 80% Sims 1 anyway.
>>745941791since the game loves jerking realism so much, why didnt they include automatic shut off for the gas pump
>>745941776that seems like a weird oversight. why would they add autistic pottery before implementing a proper temperature system?
>>745931993So you're going to keep children inside your barricaded house?
>>745942127because all they know how to do is add more menuing and slapping some items into a json file
>>745927257>>745927404this
>>745927257i've never hated a developer more will still sort of liking the game

>>745946440its a starting trait modifier, anon. like a police officer would be good with handguns right at the start, and have some body armor and a billyclub. unemployed means they start like us, fat pieces of worthless shit
>>745946171Yes, but only if you focus on looting small houses. Big houses (mansions) + police departments + schools + malls + factories + warehouses, anywhere with a basement, etc. are too hard and need a two-man team at least.
>>745947996No you're just retarded.
Man i like the new additions to the map, i spawned in Rosewood as usual and despite having 2k hrs in game i have no idea where i am and cant open the map because lol no map without gps mod.And its -55C outside so i cant even scout that much.
>>745947996gay and scared
>>745950371yeah the map improvements are great. only downside currently is if you go to an untouched area it's so fucking ugly
>>745950486I like the additional detail - finally fixed the Rosewood school courtyard including the proper gate from the parking lot, additional garbage bins, manhole covers ( sewers when ?? ) etc.I fear it might be too crowded tho and too rich in resources - one of my test spawns in Riverside put me in a home with giant field of planted crops next to it.Good thing my default Deer Lake cabin spawn is intact.

>>745954170>mannequin haremits more the question of "save those clothes until i have secure base to play dress up a bit".Game really could use NPC's for the whole "fucking in a warm secured cabin during snowstorm" moments.And violet uv lights for that added Dying Light feel.

I dont play early access
I'm basing out of the church in riverside.I've got a mod that adds horde defense so I've been focused on getting guns and ammo and I've barricaded up all the windows.The power just went out and I've tracked down a generator, but I don't have the magazine or requisite electrical skills, and I still need to build a compound so I don't have to drag a million corpses away from my base every wave.
I pirated the game yesterday, and i must say it is waaaay better then when i last played it in 2017. I might even buy it nowDo you guys have some mods that are essential?
>>745957609this game is worth to buy due to the mods alone

>>745958030Is this actually an interesting gimmick with permanent winter? How does it actualy change your gameplay?
>>745941109This is the kind of bullshit that I despise. If they want to go for a 'realism' approach then obvious real world solutions will work. And I should not need to read for hours too start up a basic portable generator, and rural 90's Kentucky should have a fair number of generators and LOTS of ammo and guns around, even with a week of public panic.
>>745959827>>745959827>How does it actualy change your gameplay?Well lets see - you can be out in the oopen for long without massive amount of clothes on, you can farm outdoors, the second you stand outside you are on a timer, once the power is out you need to heat up your home and every other place you get to etc.Plus its comfy as fuck.>>745958018>more word vomit instead of argumentSeek help
>toy guns cant train aimingshame, thatd have made them somewhat useful. if I wanted to train reloading Id just fidle around with a magazine for an hour instead.

>>745960694They spent the last 6years on wilderness progression just to be mogged by mods yet again.
>>745941109I know in my heart the devs nerfed it because MUHH BALANCE but I'm tempted to call it a bug because I can fucking see water barrels in the trailer park full of water but I can't interact with them
>>745927257reinstalled after last playing B41 4 years agothe map looks completely different and there is a shitload of bloat items everywhere but the game is still the same boring dogshit
>>745961012There are mods that make them work. They could but they choose not to or forgot about it. I wonder if we will ever get more pottery recipes or they will just leave that up to the community as well.
>>745958030does this make the game into the long dark + zombies? sounds kino>>745961012yeah it's like they have an artist who makes props but they never talk to the gameplay devs so you get all this shit that blatantly should be usable by the player but isn't. retarded way of making a game
>>745927257>still in early access after 10+ yearswhat a scam
>>745950486>drive from Muldraugh to Fallas>all the buildings inside towns look gorgeous>couple farms on the side of the road stayed untouched from B41 and look like a bunch of cubes by comparisondid I really play the whole game like this...
I played my high population blacksmith for 9 hours yesterday. spawned at Cortman Medical and took over the fenced in homes. I have a stack of at least 30 melee weapons and Im planning to get around 1500 zombie kills in the next two hours.
>still cant find the keys to the whiskey van :(
You should be able to automatically transfer all known radio frequencies to a new talkie-walkie when you find one its so annoying to have to copy and paste the AEBS preset every time.
>>745961202>>745961202>does this make the game into the long dark + zombies? sounds kinoYeah pretty much.Of course im refering to Cryo Winter mod, at least "normal" difficulty WITH constant snowstorm addon.Long Dark kino is even stronger now that we have animals.Still waiting on wolves and bears..
Game needs ducks
So is that fucking seizure warning somethign I can remove/skip or is it just a loading screen?
What mods should I try?
>>745961603There's a mod for that too I thinkGod these devs make Bethesda look good
>>745961802So far I've only added a bunch of cars and RV interiors and it makes all the difference.RuneExp, NeatUI, Clean Hotbar, VHS shows skills in tooltip and screenshot.The smokes n guns really adds up but its a bit tedious having to just get 1 box or gun per house early on. It's a nice add on that doesn't really change much even though it does add a lot of ammo. At least not in early game.
>day 26, still using refurbished meat cleavers instead of the dozen actual axes I found since the startthey made them so comfortable to use I dont know why
>>745962061I thought I could do that but my cleaver just broke completely. You can't fix it if the blade is broken right?

>>745962115yeah but theyre really common for how durable they are and they level maintenance really fast
>found one machete>found one double-handed axe>still just using crowbarsAnyone else? How much better are machetes and axes and so forth compared to the rawdog power of a crowbar?
>>745927257>>745940192>>745962191
>>745962689I was so pleased with axes and long blunt my last playthrough that I went brawler again on my blacksmith and I couldn't be happier. Also note that if you make railspike weapons they turn everything into axes and have high OHKO rates.I recently learned you can animation cancel by holding attack and spamming E that also helps a lot.
>>745962689crowbars actually have pretty anemic damage compared to both of these options but if youre gonna use use machetes, try to find a long blade skill book so you can train it as fast as possible. they made that weapon type really rare on purpose.
did they add fun to the game yet

Anyways.Thoughts?https://youtu.be/rdZQb8uFx-Y?si=PR3Wi3codbOZOcKT
Bad News : there is no further visible path/road from this place so its probably utter wilderness.Good News : despite -60C outside a simple campfire can heat me up..So i can actually start moving north - just doing the fast running to preserve heat, short small camp near a fire to warm up and rest and then run some more in hopes of getting somewhere with more resources..I have enough food and water for few days so it might be doable.And yes i refuse to look at the PZ map on the internet to not spoil myself.

Performance ones might not be needed too.
>>745964551start with neatui, no debug context menu, vhs shows tooltip.
I've been researching and it seems like the vast majority of players think that multiplayer with friends is the best Zomboid experience, and that most people who play solo SP only do so because they have no willing friends or no friends at all. I tried solo singleplayer, solo multiplayer and friends multiplayer and I found solo singleplayer the best one by far. It's just more immersive, I can go at my own pace, kind of makes the world feel bigger, you can roleplay better, and every milestone achieved like getting your first car or functioning generator feels more rewarding.However, these posts and opinions make me feel like I'm an antisocial bitter FUCK.
How many people actually play with infection off like me?
>>745967965word upshit sucks
how efficient is farming? I have a bunch of seed packets and level 2 agriculture, do I need to plant a whole fucking field to feed myself or is just a couple of patches good enough?
>>745967965Same. I got tired of losing advanced runs to misclicks.
>>745967965Are you: - playing sandbox with the: - infection mortality set to never? - transmission set to everyone's infected?- playing with a mod that: - adds immunity as a trait? - disables infections?
>>745967965Infection is basically against everything the game aspires to. All content is geared towards building up skills for extended periods of time and infection destroying double digit hours or more of work is just retarded. Permadeath was enough.I enjoy that the option exists but personally I'll pass.
>>745962191Is that skin and face baseline for stable 42? or is that a mod? (Haven't played in a few months)
>>745967704nah, playing with others is shitty as fuck and cheating oneself out of the experience of Project Zomboid.
I swear to god you could disassemble these doors with a blowtorch before. trying to bash it with a baseball bat but I don't know if its doing anything>>745968939nah its mods. tomb's player body for the face and pale skin and spongie's character creation for the freckles
>>745968019Try it out. Remember playing Harvest Moon as a child? Farming in Project Zomboid is like that, only more fun. You even can visit other towns/parts of your base's town and romance qt girls, but you have to put some work into creating it yourself. Like, for example, you roleplay that Karissa lives in a mansion in Muldraugh; you either draw what she looks like, create what she looks like in the character creator, or (not recommended) find a picture online, and then you create her interests, what she likes, what gifts she loves, what gifts she doesn't love, etc., and "bring her gifts" she likes to "level up" your romance with her. Say she loves a particular color of sweater, bring one to her every couple of days/weeks and then note her interest in you leveling up. Once she reaches a certain affection, roleplay/write out a romance scenario, going to the lake, your first kiss, even hot and heavy stuff for later on. It's literally all about what you can conceptualize. And the game allows for it to happen.
>>745968019>>745969296farming turnover is months long now and there are no NPCs, what the fuck am I reading? you don't farm at all, you fish or churn butter and you certainly don't make it stardew valley with mods/roleplay servers or whatever you're talking about with gifts
>>745969645>what the fuck am I reading?he's a mindbroken schizophrenic
>>745969645There are "no NPCs" if you're not willing to put in the work to make your own NPCs. You can literally craft whatever system you want to envision NPCs in the game world and interact with them any way you want.
so did they buff harvests to account for the extremely long crop growth time or is it just straight worse now
Got my wrecked candy van back home and rounded up all the cars in Fallas I have keys for to begin the headlight grind. Will probably spend the rest of my time working on carving or something. Infinite bats would definitely be nice. Lost my cowboy hat, though... got into a scuffle and guess it depswaned since I forgot about it for a while :/

what's your opinion on brita's backpacks?
>>745970396All brita mods are soulless
>>745969907harvests are big enough that you can get enough produce from one seed pack to never do it again180 days to grow tobacco and it yielding something like 5000 pieces of dried tobacco (enough to last you for 10 years) means you only need to do it once for a pack of 5 seeds
>>745970365>psychoticallyIt's not psychotic to roleplay interactions with NPCs you envision exist within the game and keep notes about. DMs do it all the time in D&D. Think of it like that.

it's UP https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3788502146
>>745970496The DM's role is to lead several other players and create the interactions and events for them, what you're doing is as pointless as playing D&D entirely by yourself. Nothing will ever be unpredictable when you are coming up with it on your own, which is maybe the appeal to autists like you and >>745970629.PZ has D&D-type servers (usually whitelisted) with an admin gamemaster and one or two groups of normal players making interesting stories, what you're doing is bizarre when you could have actual NPCs with mods (and make organic stories, abstracting only their personalities) or play with real people. You could use bandits loadout system to make the characters you're talking about lol
It's just gone two months in my current run. I am enjoying new Riverside immensely. Still, should I go exploring now anons? Apparently one strat is tour the towns as early as possible so they spawn in their inventory before half the locations get flagged as looted/trashed. But also survivor loot gets better later too supposedly. I've set up a comfy base and have got enough supplies, except for a few books, some military gear and firepower (I found a small arsenal from an annotated map though). I've already found a few "trashed" spots and it's annoying where all the good stuff is gone and you have to sift through what's left on the floor.

>>745954170>does the game not recalculate los lines when you knock down walls or something?the game is pretty fucked when it comes to player built rooms and that room becoming "indoors" properly. check your digi watch for the temperature change from going outdoors to in, it's possible your room is registering as outdoors now which fucks with the wall visuals

why does my base get overrun by a bunch of zombies even though i didn't aggro any of them to my location
>>745967965desu bites are already are punishing enough on their own, they take like 3 times as long to heal as a laceration or even a deep wound even if you have infection turned off it might still indirectly kill you.
will savescumming break anything? I want to try some stuff out without committing to it but dont want a horde to spawn directly on top of me when I revert my save.
>>745972640Most people complain about the opposite. Did you secure your perimeter? You should kill all zombies in the surrounding houses or area. Need to know what settings too. Default apocalypse has no respawn so Once you've cleared an area it stays pretty clear, once pean zombies have been reached.

>>745973209I think so. It adds rare dudes in biosuits zombies that drop it but it also has a chance to show up in military places and whatnot.
>>745972640Meta events luring them to your base?Random gunshots, screams, or the helicopter?
Remind me - what was the name of the mod that allowed you to use shit like safety glasses and aviators in lieu of welding mask??I cant find it.>>745973325ZRE Vaccine?
>>745972640Do you have lights turned on? I find it doesn't actually matter in neighborhoods but that's one possibility
>>745972640they reallocate and move to fill zed-empty areas over time, so if you clear 1 block of an infested town the surrounding ones will just walk two streets over and it'll seem like they sniffed you out of nowhere
>>745972640Grab essentials and then get the FUCK out of populated areas
>>745973396I just checked, it's They Knew
>need welding mask to cut meaningless unsalvageable gatejust look away retard????
>>745973476It can matter on 2nd floors if he doesn't have curtains closed and walks past. Typically they aren't attracted to light on its own much, noise is the biggest. If his area is swarming they will eventually head over to rattle windows and doors
>>745972640There was one build where I could legitimately clear entire places out with enough work, but now it feels like there's always enough zombies to go around. Must be the settings or something.
>>745973821Just hit it with an axe
>>745972938i did get rid of a bunch of them to the point i just couldn't cope with more so i had to relocate and basically leave all my stuff there until i can get my strength back, it just felt like i was playing some kind of endless wave call of duty bullshit.>>745973338no i'm pretty sure it wasn't this>>745973476i left some lights on but i always put up sheets on windows and doors when i take over a spot.>>745973480is there a way to disable this? i feel like they follow me across towns>>745973656it's what i did to my old base i had to completely relocate drove around for 5 minutes couldn't even find a quiet place to sleep so i drove into the forest, slept and hoped for the best. >>745973851i knew i wasn't crazy, this isn't normal they just keep on coming and coming leaving me no room to settle down i hate to sound like a whiny loser, maybe my settings are all wrong
>>745974205Post the settings senpai
Is there a mod where the zombies rape me yet?Or at least some kind of sex anymations stuff?
>>745974205My experience was on a build 41 server way back with some modifications to the map. Still, felt like we could kill enough to actually empty the cell and surrounding areas. In this build, my buddy has the population scaled a little higher but it feels like there's enough wandering into the area to fill the cells back up.
>>745974205>is there a way to disable this?sandbox > reallocate hours to 0 or something to that effect, should be around the zed pop settingsthere's also voronoi noise (can also be disabled) that randomizes the spawning more, so some areas will have strangely few/too many zombies and it's harder to predict across runs
If the apocalypse was caused by tap water how come you can drink it?
>>745972640Zombies wander, they also have a tendency to "migrate" - if you thin out an area of zombies the game will move zombies from populated areas to cleared ones. If you're playing default Apoc, day 28 is peak population and zombies will keep spawning in until then. Zombies are attracted to noise, so turn down your TV / Radio and if you have a generator the sound radius will always draw zombies to it. Zombies will be moved around by "meta events" so if you hear a bunch of screams / gunshots the game is trying to draw zombies towards you - also many zombies don't exist until you enter their buildings and get spawned in. As for light, on older versions of Zomboid turning on a switch could actually play a "sound" under the hood sometimes at random that would bring zombies close, now zombies don't actually notice light but they will notice you if you're lit up by it. Zombies will tend to head in the direction they last saw you so if you want to make sure you're not being followed you need to draw them away from where you want to go and break line of sight. There's usually plenty of cover in urban places and you can always slip into the trees.
>>745967965I turn it off. Bites are too rng and I'd feel okay about dying if I got eaten but not infected. Also, in my head it makes perfect sense that we would be canon immune or a carrier for the virus.
>>745927349ok so look dude.yesterday we had one cdda thread hit bump limit even without the one autist shitting his pants.where are you coming with this stuff about "cdda shills"?what happened in a single day to make you preemptively assmad about CDDA?
>>745974205are you on high pop? If normal settings you just ran into a horde, probably nearby a major location like a gas station or gun store. >endless wave shitYou're probably just new. Press J and see how many kills you even have I bet its less than 300.
>>745974929lol no someone has been spamming cdda bait since like the 2nd day after 42 released.
Don't be in the middle of the neighbourhood while zombie pop is still peaking
>>745975080you mean like this guy? >745927349he seems to be the one starting people talking about it.
>>745975175just someone replying to every other post that zomboid is boring after you get food & water and cdda is better. Not in this thread. Archives are down for me rn just search subject: zomboid and ctrl+f cdda it's pretty obvious it was one guy.
>first sign of civilization more advanced than farmers and ranchers hutsThank god finally...
>>745975421ah, no need for archives, I already believe it.we had one retard in the thread I mentioned last night who was assmad about the way the game was (CDDA) but in a stupid way (since there are many legit reasons to be assmad about CDDA or Zomboid) and he was lying and trying to take screenshots that only made him look even more retarded.thankfully he came in at the end.I don't like where zomboid is going but I like it as a multiplayer game with friends.Cataclysm is for whacky bullshit singleplayer.Very different vibe.
>>745975736i never tried CDDA just because I don't feel like memorizing yet another instruction manual, but Qud I like. I quite like the pointlessness of zomboid. I finally feel comfortable with the basics after 100+ hours. Now I'm doing a long term, multi-year playthrough like it's supposed to be played. The game doesn't even get good until you run the stations out of gasoline.
I dont care how dogshit zomboid is, im not playing ascii slop
>>745927349>Have only played CDDA with tilesets>look at pic>understand it perfectly
>>745975175I would rather just be wrong than play retard in an anonymous thread that has the same 10 people in it every day
>>745975929lol spoken like a true hardcore addict.CDDA will always be held back by its controls acting as a time/effort filter for those who cannot or, in your case, simply choose to not dedicate even more effort in favor of continuing to play what they already love.alas I have a different brainworm than yours.
Holy shit, carving xp snowballs fast as fuck
Is there a mod that gives more information on the load screen? It doesn't tell me the guys name or how long I've survived or anything. Just the game type and what mods are active.
>>745976035this aint a thread about that little girl with toy guns game though
>>745976163carving is my favorite skill and I think the 2 point trait is well worth taking if you want to get it done very fast without books.
>>745976021ascii visuals are kino once you get used to it.
Holy shit.
>>745976365just not a fan of how the scale of everything ends up, i.e. cars looking small.

>>745977837trailer park trash and prostitutes were common in 90s rural kentucky
>>745927257I watched a youtuber play this and holy shit does it look like such a chore to play. It's probably only fun for the first couple of hours and then it's just fucking brainless grinding
>all these anons who disable infection>they are probably the same people who bitch about the game being easy and pointless
>>745977537Most CDDA players don't play on the steam version, considering it costs money and is often outdated.
>>745977069>bar not going uptrevor reading crime and punishment.webm
>>74592725715 years later>still no npc's>60 percent of the game still not completed>devs already scammed players multiple times and made their money so game will never be completed.The game falls apart past the initial survival phase. At least we have mods.
>>745978512By all means, multiply CDDA players by 10, its still pathetic when compared to PZ.
>>745977943in my experience if you want to add more mods you have to make a completely new savefile if you want it to work
>>745978609Nah its probably Weather Moodles fault, i started a new save and i get red error spam when i go outside.Its either borked or it conflicts with Cryo winter for some reason.
>>745978572I mean, yeah, a game's quality isn't determined by its playerbase. Zomboid will obviously have more players due to being more streamlined and easy to understand.
>>745978665is this how i find out that i do not have to remove my 3 week old save file everytime in order to add new mods?
>>745927257Kill yourself, tranny
NPCs would ruin the feel of PZkeep your shitty GTA5 Strangers and Freaks events out of my Zomboid, hope they never add them
>>745978512Wtf is cdda?
>>745978754Adding mods usually should be safe, its removing mods thats always a problem.
>>745927257`>choose your occupation>no option for a neet /b/tard
>>745978818i honestly feel the same about this NPC's will create a weird feeling
>>745978387You can increase xp gain to get rid of the grind. You can customize the settings so the game plays exactly how you want plus mods. The only reason the game is still alive.
I can't get into this game. Because of the infections - but more importantly, because of how easy it is to get infected. Like, the game is supposed to be realistic - fine. But a baseball bat wouldn't just casually break fast like that even against a skull. Hell, pans wouldn't break as fast.mechanically I was doing fine - the only reason I die is because the melee weapons break too fast.It's a slow, classic zombie - fine, that means it's about as strong as a man- let's say the corpse has no inhibitions that hold us back so we don't break something, but even with that, it is build from the same stuff as we are - arms and legs should be breakable. Hell, clothes being able to be torn is bullshit - if you sit down and layer them into something like a gambeson, you would be invulnerable. Test it - wear a thick winter coat, then bite your arm, scratch it - nothing.
>>745978907Is that not the unemployed option?It's a shame they removed the overweight trait to go with it.
>>745979079there is no neet option
>>745976220>>745976220Click more options and rename the folder, or do it manually
this is a fukin humiliation ritual

has there been a more shafted (no pun intended) weapon type in B42 than spears?>massively powercreeped by every other craftable weapon, especially axes now that you can slap a railspike on anything to turn it into one>only crafted weapon that require non-renewable materials because you can't carve a long stick for some reason>BiS is still a gardening tool you find in someones shed even though you can forge actual war spears
>>745978831Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead, which is the most well-known version of Cataclysm. It inspired project zomboid, and is a roguelike with tileset graphics, despite some anons telling you it's an ascii game, it only is if you turn off tile mode. It's also free, but not on steam.
>>745979531Ohh okay, ill check it out
>>745978943Even getting rid of the grind still leaves the clunky controls
>>745979064Try a crowbar friendo. Its the most durable weapon in the game. But baseball bat modified with nails does good damage and lasts a while.
>>745979498>spear nerfIm still mad at them for doing this..>non-renewable materials because you can't carve a long stick for some reasonCant you forage for them tho?>>745979402Whats wrong?
>>745979498Small blades are still tinfoil dogshit, even more so now because they want you to grind blacksmithing so you can have a supply of the near useless things and have to keep sharpening them after every other kill.
>>745979498>>745979737They're technically renewable by using saplings instead of long stick, but they decided to make a sapling as giant pain in the ass to forage, probably as a way to balance it I guess (please pay no attention to the man carving 544686 wooden bats over there).
>>745979659True, the controls and clunky movement are the worst parts of the game for me. It's crazy that after all this time they haven't been addressed.
>>745980203Good thing mods exist.I hate that PZ goes the route Rimworld goes and needs like 200 essential mods that fix every little fucking miniscule bullshit wrong with this game put there by the devs..>>745978754>>745978846>>745978609>>745977943>removed the mod>bug isnt present on new saves>still get mad red error spam on existing saveWelp time for restart i guess

i think my save is broke. character has really bad muscle strain and exhaustion goes from 39% to 45% while resting before rapidly going back down to 35%. does muscle strain just do that?

>>745981720Like... escape the Kentucky?
>>745954358>i dont get it, therefore its stupid!get a load of this retardzoomers have an instilled fear of this shit because of the death of malls. Malls are supposed to be full of people, but because malls are dying(because of a number of factors like the economy, nons, noone going outside anymore, kids not being allowed to hang outside anymore otherwise the cops get called, etc) since they were kids they now have the thought of "x place that should be full of people actually is devoid of people, how creepy!"Youre acting like zoomers nowadays making fun of boomers and gen x because of slasher horror films, because to them the tranquil life of american/european suburbia being disrupted by a violent psychopath isnt a horrifying nightmare, but something that happens everyday to them.
ok fuck this dogshit game desu>eternal exhaustion bug has been in game for years now and hasn't been fixednice stable release!
>>745982156Anon, that's a decade old gameCheck nexus for fix
>>745981790Yeah. Like blow up barrier on the louisville bridge with some uber rare satchel charges found only in military base.Fix a plane on LV airport to fly away.Find a chopper, boat etc.It would make skill grind have sense.

>>745927257Any tips for playing?
>>745982520depends on what you're struggling with, the game is rather complex so you should try it out then ask questions as you learn
How do you guys find fun in this game without any ending or purpose? It's close to real life....

>>745927349wish I could play CDDA but I don't have a NUMPAD BITCH
>>745983071I'd rather die and become walker than turning into canadian honestly
>>745954358Liminal spaces were a thing well before zoomers. I was scared of empty malls as a young kid in the 90s. In fact, I remember what first made me scared of them as a kid, it was an episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?' in which the main character gets stuck inside of an abandoned mall inside of a pinball machine while trying to save his girlfriend or whatever. There used to be a local mall where the theater had a back exit for larger film releases, if you saw a movie later in the night you'd be able to wander all about this huge area where there were no people and lots of small sounds that would rattle about.It's definitely something that's existed for a long time, it's simply that there were other fears which were more motivating because we went to more places. They don't have a fear of forests at night as much for example because they didn't camp as much as we did on average. That kind of thing. But I understand the fear, and I like the idea of more material exploring it even if I think attempts are generally rather puerile.
>>745983219Get one, or use letter movement since I believe there are ways to get diagonal with it.

>>745978512>>745980421uh oh trannies seething
Why do I see people basing in places out in the middle of nowhere? Its not farmville or sims. If you have to drive half a day to see zombies and loot anything you've lost the plot for this game
>>745978831>>745979627>>745979531they were developed within less than a year of each other, it did not inspire zomboid.its far more autistic so be warned.
>>745984427Its a free singleplayer game bro.Nobody who actually plays CDDA expects it to be popular or cares if a bunch of other people play it.Anyone who pretends to is a faggot and you should bully them for it.Its the kind of thing where if you aren't tweaking it to your own liking and are trying to make other people conform to anything, you are part of the problem.
>>745984754>Its not farmville or sims.It is if you play that way. Not my autism, but it's someone's. I collect comic books and cassettes with mods and live on rat stews
>>745984754Which is a shame, Week One is fun as fuck. It needs some submods to just remove the zombie shit entirely and let you play PZ as a life sim.
>>745985390bro...
>>745976365Yeah. The only thing about it in the context of Cataclysm is the scale. But that can be a good or a bad thing.
>>745985659it just wurqs
>>745985659Game works fine so fuck it.
>>745983219You can play with the arrow keys and use shift + arrow keys to move diagonally.
>>745927257Does the mutliplayer in this work without being bugged as fuck? or am i still screwed if i want to play the game with my friends?
What is it about this game that makes it feel so special? It definitely has a charm about it. I think maybe it's ability to willingly let the player indulge in the slow moments.

>>745982856Lmfao, lol even. Buddy, if he's just starting Zomboid, worrying about yeast long term is the least of his concerns. You can survive off of non perishables for months. >>745982520Take it slow. The first thing you do in literally any fresh save is >turn on the TV and watch Life and Living>get a sheet and make a makeshift backpack>find a weapon>find a way to carry water with you >find your base>find a carYou can usually make a base out of your starter home but as you learn the game you'll realize their is optimized locations that most of the community agrees are top tier. You'll die a bunch before even making a dent into 1 week survived. It's a brutal game. You just need to take it slow and play smart. Learn how to kite hoards. Learn how to aggro a few zombos at a time. Head home immediately if you get tired. Keep your character on a normal healthy sleeping schedule.
>>745927257How did you make the sims look hot?? What mod is this??

I'm gonna buy one of these completely free games.Is Cataclysm: The Last Generation the best Cataclysm? CDDA went to shit when farming became a thing probably a decade ago.>:)
>>745988040There is no best cataclysm right now.That one has an enthusiastic and frequent updater in wormgirl and it was forked at the start of DDA's lead maintainer going nuts and deleting all sorts of shit.frankly you shouldn't give any of them money when you can just grab one for free and try it out, THEN decide if you want to spend money.
>>745988040btw, can you tell me what you thought went to shit when they added farming?I am in the process of making my own fork that will eventually go public (and free)still fucking around with github automation and some modernization from c++11 to 17 but I am collecting anyones thoughts on literally anything that changed over the years.

>>745988329It wasn't the direction I wanted the game to go. I enjoyed being forced to scavenge and drive around. I guess I shouldn't complain about free content but it's just more fucking bullshit items in the game with a million items.
>>745988593told you about the fences bro
>>745988901ah, you didn't like having such an easy option that added more stuff to sort through when looting, and preferred being driven to scavenge for everything?I am running into a dilemma on what to do with pockets that feels similar.on one hand, I could look at improving the UI so its less clunky and painful to setup and manage pockets.On the other, I could scale stuff back and simplify it so there is less autism there.Makes me think more and more about making certain integrated parts of the game more... optional.Or I could just pick one and do my best with it.Ultimately I want to build something that I would have fun playing first.
>>745988593edit your player data from ISDEAD 1 to ISDEAD 0

Just downloaded tombs face/body mod but my textures are way shittier than the ones from preview pictures. I raised the texture settings to max and nothing changed. Anyone got any ideas? Load order is set to what the mod recommends as well.
>>745999857you play it for like 4 hours every 2-4 years when they release a "big" patch that actually added nothing at all
Anyone else use a D20 dice and assign various tasks to each number on the dice and then roll the dice each day to see what your character will do that for day?
how the fuck do you make this game fun outside of the first week
>join mp server>roleplay as sociopath serial killer/arsonist/looter>destroy bases>kill players, including apparently mods>occasionally die but then re-roll another character with the same personality>eventually get bannedAnyone else find this to be stupid? Some people really don't seem to like conflict in their PZ mp games
>>746000892>Set goals for yourself>explore new areas>build multiple safehouses throughout the city>roleplay>keep a daily journal IRL cataloguing your activities; if your character panics, write in a panic tone, etc.Tons of things to do.
>>745998176impregnate that zombie immediately
Reminder that anyone here supporting CDDA is a tranny that kowtows to their head bearded tranny
>>745931993I still think about when i pointed out that etrian odyssey didn't have characters or plot and i was told to use my imagination
>>746001039>new areasI have no new areas>goalsTheres no goals in a game with nothing beyond eating and not dying>build multiple safehousesTheres no reason and its inefficient>RoleplayI have no one to roleplay with its singleplayer>Keep a journalIf I was going to begin journaling the last thing I'd start writing is about what happens in my videogames instead of real life Terrible ideas all around
>>746000892be severely autistic
>>746001124>think to try out babynights since I'm bruned out on pz and tired of dda tranny shit>this garbage when I go to create a worldh-haha you just can't escape it
>>746000892What would you do if you woke up one day and everyone was dead and there was no power or internet?
>>746001478Jerk off
>>746001228>needing someone to roleplay withThat's your biggest problem. You can roleplay with yourself. Have you never played LEGO or army men and created scenarios in your head, imaginary wars and such? You can literally play chess with yourself. You can roleplay alone.
>>746001521These are the actions of the criminally insane
>>746001228>its inefficientwhy are you asking how to have fun when you don't even like fun?
>>746001613Efficiency can be funthats kinda the problem, once you make a basic base you already won the game, the only way you can lose after that is taking absurd stupid risks
>>746001669ok but if you're saying shit like "i can't make my base look nice that's inefficient" you have no ability to experience fun so there's no point asking how to have it. that's like asking a rock how to be a rock when you're a fleshy retard
>>746001228Normally my end goal is the strip club in northern Louisville where I haul all the ammo, guns, and weapons along with all the skills I've amassed up until that point and make my final stand completely naked besides my combat boots and bullet bandoliers, killing as many zombies I can until my character can't move or swing their weapon anymore.
I love the start of the run when the power is still on and you can just walk into any old place and find mutton and ice cream in the freezer. If it stays on long enough youll start seeing porky chops and stuff spoiling in the fridges which makes scoring a freezer with fresh meat and ice cream even better.When the power goes out? That's when the fun begins. Solid breakfast of a granola bar. Luch, an entire bag of bland tortilla chips. Dinner? Some boiled pasta with marinara that makes you feel guilty for eating because that is one less meal between you and unironically being grateful for the warmed can potatoes. But that is still leagues beyond how grateful youll feel for how warm and nutritiously satisfying that can of dogfood youve been saving for a rainy day will taste after a hard day of muscle exhaustion.But thankfully, youll have that 1/4 bottle of whiskey you watered down to last longer help you drift to sleep.
>>746001742I can make my base look nice and I doMe making 20 bases for no reason other than 'I can' is bad
>>746001742He's right though. There are always 10 tasks waiting to be completed to secure your long term survival. In all games I find myself progressing non stop and not feeling like I have enough time to breathe and decorate until the endgame. It's like how people play all of valhiem and palworld with bases just built on dirt.
>>746001847This post screams Russian scavlord
>>746000862This and try guessing card draws
Me personally I find bases in general to be kinda gay and RV life is the fucking tits.
Tomorrow I will go back to apocalypse and level my blacksmith alt. I feel like having handicraft on a late game class would be great but there's just no points for it. I might take masonry just to skip that early leveling bs. My main reason for going blacksmith at this point is purely to play spears. I can't believe TIS is making me learn this skill up to metal spear heads just to use the fucking weapon type. I assume once I get a van full of them and drive to the nearest horde I will be let down and find my time completely wasted. Such is life.
>>746001847For long-term players, does there reach a point where you HAVE to farm because you can't scavenge enough canned food/candy from stores? wtf.. I have nutrition turned off btw
>>746001926what rv mod? I search on the workshop and there are dozens and dozens of different ones
>>746002198depends solely on your food loot settings
>>746002030why bother with blacksmithing just use fire hardened spears
>>746002198>I have nutrition turned off btwlmao just eat worms you have infinite food
>>746002198not since they added animals. farming is totally pointless with the default settings. half the crops are literally impossible to grow and the ones that you can take like 6 months
>make pot of boiling water heated in the oven>just take it out of the oven with bare handsWhy does the game allow you to do remove hot things without wearing oven mitts and such on your hands? You should receive burns to your hands otherwise and have to treat them.
>>745927349>doesn't know how to use keyboard hotkeys>doesn't know how to download a tileset>doesn't know how to switch to bright nights
>mods fix it bruhtato
>>746001926Great thing about the rv is you can drive while your wife is with the bull
>>746002214RV interiors is the one. Let's you go inside vans and step vans. Also trailers! And campers!
is there a minimum size for the lakes and ponds I can fish in? does the game keep track of the fish population?
>>746002257Cause I want to use the good ones like a Greek warrior and shit
>>746002370Is that true of everything? Is there not a single decent food like potatoes or cabbage that's dead easy to grow if left alone?
>>746001472just turn it off retard
>>746002835There is no way the last man on earth is fishing out the local lake or pond by himself.
>>746001509This. Unironically.
>>746002965why is it enabled by default, gay boy?
>>746002974is that a challenge
>>746003086so that you can gun down all of the pride flag wearing zombies. use your brain.
>>746003113
>>746001926No RVs in Project Zomboid>j-just use a mod!Why cheat? If I wanted a different game than the one envisioned by the devs, I would play that different game.
>>746003201One of my favorite things is talking shit to all the stupid women and black zombies
>>746003260What I'm hearing is you don't have an RV?
This is literally the worse game ever.... i didn't think i would encounter a worse game than Rust.
forgive lemmy for raping you
>>746003370Yeah but at least it's better than marathon haha
This is literally the best game ever... after playing so many terrible zombie games, I didn't think I would encounter one that actually was perfect in every way, but I did.
>>746002924i dont think so with the default growing seasons and start date. maybe there are one or two things you can plant quickly enough that they grow before the first winter but most things you will need to wait until at least march to have a good chance and yieldmeanwhile having 2 cows or some chickens is infinite food and requires basically zero maintenance. there is no reason to farm crops outside of roleplay
Bros I can't wait for animal husbandry skill it will save the game
>Add 8 types of alcohol to barrel>Okay now to water it down>Fluid mixtures cannot have over 8 types of fluid in themOh, well that's gay as fuck.
>>745983219unironically do >>745985782>>745927656I think its been readded in the latest stable, along with standing on a ledge and poking enemies directly below with 0 risk which is objectively overpowered
>>746003584speaking of barrels... I see barrels in the liquor stores, bars, etc., are those barrels actually full of alcohol?? How do you open them if so? I clicked on them but couldn't find a way to interact with them.
>>746003526>>746002924>>746002370>farming is pointless memeWhy does this exist? When you start the game, you can go into gardens of big houses and find literal basil, leeks, potatoes, tomatoes, etc., harvestable. You CAN farm in this game and do effectively, as proved by the starting game situation.
>>746003764you are a weird faggot
I'm waiting for NPCs
Thwack! Who needs fishing
>>746003692He probably means a rain barrel.
>>746003692I mean rain barrels.The wine-cask barrels are purely display only.
>>746004463oh.. as to your question, it's an interesting idea. if you dumped gin, vodka, tequila, brandy, whiskey, etc., eight different liquor types into a rain barrel, 40% ABV each... and then poured the mixture into a single shot glass and drank it, would you effectively get 8x shot? alcohol with 320% ABV?
>>746004841No... It would be the average amount of alcohol. So 40%
>>745969296The game does not allow that to happen. That is completely your imagination.
>>746004841In real life and in zomboid, the concoction would be an average of whatever you put into it.
>>746003086you can disable it by default.shits open source.
>>745927349Cataclysm is simply better, it’s a complete game with tons of content at all stages and so many scenarios/builds to play if you want something new, not to mention the huge number of mods.If I want to play a literal wizard flying around an alternate dimension in Cataclysm I can with mods. Or if I want just a hyper-realistic survival sim with meaningful crafting, construction, and custom vechicles, I can do that tooZomboid is a half-finished early access game that hasn’t made any meaningful upgrades in years and has no depth beyond the first few days of surviving and gathering.After that it’s either holding up in your base forever or intentionally dying. Shit hame but low IQ idiots get stuck on it because they are too dumb to download a zip file off Github and use keyboard controls.
>>745936597Lack of end game is less of the issue than a lack of any sort of late game.It’s like you have early game basic scrounging and trying to doge zombies in suburbia, then you find some basic gear, a safe house, a car, and maybe a gun and then the game is just over.You can kill hundreds of zombies and unless you intentionally act stupid nothing can really harm you.
Playing zomboid feels like playing the Subnautica beta when they only had a handful of zones and nothing to do after you build a base and the submarine.
>>746008249>cataclysm>completethis is supreme bait.cataclysm has never once been complete and its main story has eternally lain half-assed and abandoned across DDA and bright nights because people arent interested in it.its just had way more active devs.
>>746001124Everyone in the community fucking hates kevin though, even the people who accept xim as a valid trans womxn.
>>745979064The actual problem is that once you understand how to fight the zombies theres nothing left to the game. Infection isnt an issue.
Which strain of cdda has the cutest girls
>>746001472Just remove it, it’s hard-coded into DDA, just the BN devs give you an easy way to take it out
>>746000892Play something else
>>746008712none of the items are truly hard coded into CDDAthe spawning lists and item lists are all editable JSON files.
>>745988040Why would you ever play the steam version lol, they are both severely outdated and cost money.Literally just download a recent release for free.
>>746008249if its such a great game, why cant you guys sustain your own threads? everytime i open a zomboid thread theres always atleast one of you morons spouting your lame game that almost nobody has heard of [gee i wonder why].
>>746008747True but this just makes it trivial to remove them since you just deselect the mod
>>746008568You can download porn mods or monstergirl mods if you want.I think the monstergirl mod is pre-included with Bright Nights as well.
>>746008851Zomboid fans need punishment for supporting this shit game for 20years
>>745971043>Requires Zombie Buddy which actually is a jar file and a dllYeah this totally won't be featured in a future Eric Parker video as it turns out this thing was a trojan RAT virus the whole time
>>746008925Whats the monster girl mod? More mutations? And cool cbm sprites?I haven't played since the d build era and maybe a little of f builds?I like albino cyborg girls so its gotta have that
>>746008568Given that CDDA is just ASCII bullshit, a "girl" is like asking what looks cuter, the number 9 or the letter G.
>>746009132Theres spritesets last I remember, only weirdos use ascii
>>746009132There are layered tilesets for CDDA, so you can play dress-up all you want in that game too
>>746008249Cataclysm is cool but it's made by the most insufferable troons imaginableTheir discord is fucking vomit inducing
>>746009283Is there literally any Discord server that is free from the tranny menace? They all are run by them, trannies are the jews of Discord
is knox county flat as a cutting board in real life too? where are the cave systems?
>>746009021The mod is literally called monster girl mutations
>>746009441What kinda ones does it cover? Just typical fair of bird bitches and lamia?
>>746009505All of them, just makes them look and sound “cuter” rather than horrific.
>>745988593brotip on fences : stop holding shift and running over them and start holding E to stop tripping on fences forever
I rather play bright night than dda
>>745993309Same modlist other start doesnt have the red error spam so its fine.
>>746009283Bad news for you about the entire gaming space for the past decade bro…
>>745970629Lol there was a similar post about someone playing Nethack for like ungodly amount of time.
>>745967965I've only ever played with it on before, but I think in the future I'll turn it off honestly. As everyone else says the game is geared towards autistic grinding, and with infections on you're honestly only encouraged to play in the most lame overly safe way possible. You can never take so much as a scratch so you just wind up doing the most lame gayass strategies possible because anything else is suicide. Plus themetically it makes no sense to be the ONLY person not infected on the entire fucking planet.
>>746009418Knox County doesn't have any cave systems, unfortunately. Kind of hard to see on this map, but Knox County is located on the bottom right.
>calmly hitting shops before all the hell brakes looseNgl Week One is uber comfy.
>>746009759Does running over fences cause any problem if you're not encumbered? Can you break a limb doing it or something?
>>746011223Troon
>>746011395but the kind of troon who's qt as fuck and you'd fuck even if he weren't a MTF but just a femboi or even a straight up bi-curious boi
>>746011262Jogging? Probably not, but i've sprinted over fences without being encumbered and i still trip and tumble sometimes.You might get scratched and drop your weapons and some headwear.
How long before Lemmy "hires" the Pat's NPC, Bandits, or Week One guys and puts them on floor mopping duty? Can't have anyone outdo Indie Stone now can we.
>>746011680Kill yourself.
>>746011395>sees a women>TROOON REEEE TROON!!!Absolutely mindfuckingbroken.
my 0/0 strength fitness egirl is doing quite well
>>746011781Unironically this. Project Zomboid devs need to start buying up competition and shuttering them, maybe start by buying up all the CDDA forks and warping them into malwareshit. Go on the offensive and strike back at years of their fanbase attacking PZ.
what's this? what was this home owner hiding?
>>746011987Imagine if PZ bought out CDDA and shut it down... dozen suicides would happen..
>>746011781Didn't they already do this with an npc modder? And put him on minecrap system duty.
first time playing proper since B41is it true they nerfed molotovs?I also noticed I can't pop zombie heads by slowly rolling over them with my car anymore. Kinda lame but whatever. Currently trying to find the shooting range near valley station but I have 25% sprinters on and it's scary driving around in the fog. Being able to make bags out of sheets is kinda neat though.
>>746012085They did, they made him work on a fishing mini-game and the mod UI.
Does zomboid still have the blood decal memory leak? Every zombie i killed would add 30mb of ram use, it was obnoxious
>>746012304yes but they fixed it by having zombies despawn when you get near themalso requiring the game to allocate 8gb of ram instead of 3 despite being a 33 year old game
is this game fucking done yet or what? Honestly there should be a law to stop games from being in perpetual early access.
>>746012470Be patient, anon. They need all the time they can get after the stolen laptop and fire...
>>746012505I've had my eye on this game for a minute now, but I refuse to be an unpaid beta tester. I also don't want to get sick of a game before the official 1.0 release. Every time I got to look at this game, it's still in early access. Hasn't this game been out for like 12 years now?
>>746012395Wtf you mean despawn? What is indietard doing?
>>746011965Good for her, starting with He-Man strength and fitness just isn't necessary.>>746012395It is fucking silly you have to go in and edit a text file for the game to use modern amounts of memory like it's some primordial jank from the turn of the century.
>>746012395>>746012945J A V A
Boughted a week ago. What are some genuinely fun custom sandbox runs? I just end up with something stupid like all sprinters with decreased population 1 level below default which wasn't for me.
>>745927257>regular pz thread>freak female body mod>basic ass hows ur run going my fellow /v/edditorsyep its tranny advertising time!!!>>745934480because he's a freak and this is a totally organic thread
>>746013231>t. mad CDDAfag
>>746012594>game is finished and done and has been for years>devs continue adding upon it and just haven't officially called it "1.0" yet>anon refuses to play it and declares he won't be a "beta tester"Is this autism?
>>746013698>devs continue adding upon it and just haven't officially called it "1.0" yetIf it's not 1.0, it's not done. Simple as. You're a beta cuck basedboy retard if you think anything else.
>>746013734>i need arbitrary label on game>no i cant judge the game on its features or content, i need the fucking number!!Autistic trannies like you are the worst.
>>746013734lmao mad as fuck
>>746013734>dev takes unfinished game and declares it 1.0/finished>anon now is satisfied
>>746013817>>746013861>cucks who pay for unfinished products lol. Lmao even.>>746013895yes because then you can fairly critique the final product. If it's never finished, they just hide behind the excuse of "but bro it's just not done yet! give it time!"
>>746013231>discussing video games on my vidya board?Sperg
>>746013996You are a Troll and Jerkops.

>We aren't a bunch of AGP freaks>Oh lol look at my conveniently female character with hyper-modded slut attire!
>>746014970you should see what I wear in CDDA ;P
>>746014994I mean you can wear whatever you want, as long as you own up to the AGP allegations.
>>746015073agp 4x or 8x bro?
>>746015101Post more slutty Zomboid characters you hoe.
>>746013996Its not an unfinished product, simple as.Its an irrelevant label, game gave me more fun and hrs played than all of the AAA games i played in last decade combined.Same with Starsector, DF, Ostranauts and other perpatual betas.>. If it's never finished, they just hide behind the excuse of "but bro it's just not done yet! give it time!"Irrelevant - people will always find a way to defend their games. If it was finished they will switch to muh mods, dont like it dont play it, do better yourself or some other bullshit excuse.
>>746014970>you have to be AGP to play as a hot womanRetard tier argument
>>746015721Didn't they promise NPCs like 8 years ago? Sounds unfinished to me.
>>746015809And still has more features and fun than 99% of "finished" products.Whats your point?
