How do you make proper fortifications? I've been building a compound to fend off the horde but the only gate I can make is a crappy looking thing that the zombies can just climb over.
You don't. You simply kill everything around you and nothing else will spawn ever again till you leave the map chunk for 3+ in game days.
>>746070828I'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.
>>746070954Was going to say this. You don't even need a door, zombies hardly rarely ever come by and it's almost a relief when they do, you're justlike FINALLY!
>>746071060I haven't played MP but I want to, I do feel like it would speedrun the early game though in that with 5 people looking for canned food you'd be set up in the first day.
>>746070954I'm using a mod that spawns hordes every however many days you set it to.Currently it's +50 zombies every 7 days, so I need the defenses to give me a fighting chance.I'm halfway done with the walls and after I'll build some battlements so I can shoot down without having to expose myself.But if there's no proper gates i'll just have to wall myself in or something stupid every horde night.
>>746071420>7 days to die but in zomboidActually might be fun, I'll consider it for my future runs
>>746070828You dont make a gate. You build stairs and have a platform by the wall that you climb down/up via sheet rope.
>>746071060that's fucking retarded. Of course SP is superior. Imagine having to walk away for 40 minutes to read your skill books. I don't want to play the game without time skips. There's no way multiplayer is fun after the first 2 weeks.
>stomping the heads in of all your zombiefied family and friends is great>but picrel makes you suicidal
>>746071420>I'm using a mod btwNice goal post shift faggot.
>>746071060Playing MP kinda sucks IMO.There's no fast forward/pause, mods are harder to set up and other minor annoyances.Also you need a REALLY dedicated friend group, or you get retards who die on repeat and suck up all the resources, or just go afk when something needs doing that isn't going out and looting.>>746071606Didn't think of that. I only got back into Zomboid after 42.20 dropped so i'm unfamiliar with a lot of the mechanics and ways to cheese them.Seems dumb there isn't a big log gate like the walls though. What's the point of a fucking gate if it doesn't stop things getting through
>>746070828RIP, thats corpse sickness central
>>746072304indeed
>>746072273Well yeah, there wouldn't be any point in building fortifications otherwise numbnuts.
>>746072289>Seems dumb there isn't a big log gate like the walls thoughYou're 100% correct in that stance. But, yeah. You just gotta build stairs by the wall then go up "a floor" and then build a "floor" tile so it hangs over the outside of the wall then hang a sheetrope on it. Kinda like a 1-tile gangplank on the outside of your wall. Also, keep extra sheets around because ziggers like to tear down the sheets. So if youre playing with horde mods youll definitely want that extra sheet or 5 for emergencies. You can get the torn down sheet, but that doesnt really help you if you jump down to get it and are on the otherside of your wall.

They won't add NPCs because theyve been preemptively mogged by modders and don't want to admit that if they did add them everyone would be better off using the mods instead.
>>746070828Hole up in a place that only requires ten log walls and a gate or two to seal off and not thirty+ log walls just to sort of block off one side so you'll be doing that again three times over
>>746073241NTA but church bases are kino and I dont boame him
>>746073113nah mods can crash your game, unfortinately, and even kill the save file. the only really stable one that i know is superb survivors
>>746073270This. Give the zomboids their last rites.Also sick ass bell tower to snipe from.Though I'm not sure if the bell towers in the smaller churches are walkable. The one in fallas lake has a big tower with a ladder, but you'd need a mod or something to climb it.
how do i play multiplayer?
>>746071060MP w/friends: ZombielandSP: The Walking DeadHonestly SP borders on survival horror at times. If some of those early radio transmissions had actual voice actors it'd be pretty scary.
>>746074083Use your hands for one character and your feet for the other
>he makes his base the Rosewood Fire Station
>>746074306Riverside's United States River Patrol is the new hotness now.
>>746074587I can see that.... its not bad... definitely not bad... and if you expand to take over the PD and FD then youve got the commfiest MP commune ever.
>Turn off corpse sickness>Turn off muscle strain>Turn off discomfortI wish Lemmy would fuck off.
There should be some sort of.... sensitized stat that fluctuates like weight. Vut instead of eating it changes based on how much shit has sucked. So like, if youve been killing a to of zombies then wearing some armor and eating dogfood actually makes you happy. But if you fuck off and just chill for a while and read books, then youll get some rebound effects where youre just suddenly really fucked up and depressed and panicking. Also when youre desensitized, youll randomly get moodle debuff spikes.
>Riverside has a... river... through itHow long has this been here?
>>746075638That retarded choice came with the B42 stable redesign.
>>746075638It is beside a river and has a creek running through it
>>746071420what do you plan to do when the same easily defeated horde keeps showing up way after it gets tedious?
>>746072202The brownie is just that fucking bad
>>746075759Centerfags are too weak to survive cornerchad's world.
>>746073270>>746074062I played on 1x no respawn, but had to bury every single zombie I killed. Created a massive graveyard near where I setup camp. Each one got a little wooden cross, though I wished I could name them when I would find IDs on the bodies.This was before they changed it so you couldn't put corpses in containers. Meaning I couldn't load up a van with corpses and move them to the graveyard. Lost all interest after that.
>riversideone time, three guys and i were in a car in a strange parking complex and we were leaving, but then we see a few other guys drinking and hanging out and one of us says to them just>RIVERSIDE, BITCHESbecause that was a city close to us, and as we were leaving, one of those fuckers threw his glass at the door and it made a huge dent on my friend's car HAHA
>>746070828Find a place that already has high fencing and finish it.

>>746075702The horde gets bigger everytime.My current gameplay loop is fortify, level up my skills, and loot better weaponry to buy as much time as possible before the next horde comes around.
>>746070954Apocalypse (the canon difficulty) disabled respawns btw.
>>746076252I read that like as if I was Dewey Cox walking into a bathroom and seeing you get down with a bunch of foxy ladies while y'all were drinking Mr. Horton's coffee
>>746075576there was a mod exactly for that, it made each killed zombie count towards becoming desensitized to panicking and whatnot.I may be confused with rimworld I cant remember.
>>746077241I definitely remember that rimworld mod, pz no clue
>>746076832Learn to make pipe bombs and profit bigly
>>746077403>no welding requirementgay
>>746077403I've got KI5 vehicles and Totally's firearms mods so I'm just hoping I luck into an armed APC or a light machine gun or something to upgrade my firepower.I've hit up the police station and the camping store south of Riverside, but I've still only got civilian-tier weaponry March Ridge is the only military place I know of since I spawned there on a previous save
>>746077842>Totally's firearms modsim looking at those at the moment, the collection im using comes with some other gun mod and im wondering if the switch is worth it.I wanna hunt down obscure AK variants and attachments.
i have no idea what rimworld is. should i check it out?
>>746078187it's pretty good, the sandbox is a whole planet and it's got 10 years of mods at this point.you can make a colony of ubermenche tech elf rapists or a medieval castle farm settlement basically whatever you can think of, the game is pretty broad in scope.
>>746078073Really just comes down to compatibility and your personal preference. I only use Totally's mods, but some of them are compatible with other mod makers and some aren't, do double check the descriptions.
>>746078305alright, maybe
>>746070828Sorry you wanted to interact with zombies in your zombie survival simulator? Big mistake.
>try zomboid again after 10,000 years>zombies are still hidden behind tree branches due to the isometric perspectiveUnplayable
>>746079813based deaf negative trait taker
>apocalypse (the canon difficulty)
redpill me on zomboid. is it a sandbox game?
>>746080414
>>746080414Rather than a sandbox I would describe it more as a half inch layer of sand poured out onto a concrete sidewalk block.
>>746080584is it like DayZ but isometric?
>>746078187check it out, checkout rimpy, make a big retarded modlistI do not recommend the SCP dlc for ruining the vibe.I also do not recommend the spaceship DLC because it looks like a shittier version of SaveOurShip2
>>746080646No but kind of yes.DayZ is ultimately an Arma2 Mod that became a standalone thing.Use of guns is very common for DayZ.Its the opposite in stuff like Zomboid.Guns are a last resort.If you fire a gun in Louieville you are basically summoning the biggest zombie hoard possible on top of your heads.Its much more about avoidance, preparation, positioning and melee as far as combat goes.
>>746080784so maybe a stealth version of dayz?
>>746080843in some ways yes.far more zombies, much more in your face with encounters.you have a cone of vision and an extra bit that is technically what you hear or last saw.so zombies lunging at your back will pop into view as they make noise.its an even slower paced game far more based on RPG stats and skills that you develop via character creation and your actions within the world.you need to exercise and run to be able to move fast and carry a lot of stuff.you need to do mag-loading drills to reload fastyou need to practice skills, read books, catch TV shows airing automatically (while they still air)you need to actually eat a somewhat balanced diet to not only live, but get proper health benefits and maximize your physical growth. (which in the previous version mainly came down to keeping your protein intake at a specific level)you balance vices with benefits as starting traits (though that became a bit fucky with the recent updates, dunno how the balance is now)and you start, usually, in a fairly normal house, not a wasteland. or maybe a trailerpark.
