Wish the game didn't end after clearing out a small area
bump
Just bought the game on the weekend off a whim and holy shit. I see the hype.13 days in, 200+ zombies killed. FINALLY got a fucking bagpack, now apparently my electricity is gonna go off. Played pretty much every horror game out there, from fatal frame, to SH, to RE, to even the condemned games (kino btw, first one at least, the one with the bear whichever one that was, kinda ass) . Never felt anxiety/jump scares (but done well because your character CAN die from them as opposed to a character looking into a window and a cat being followed by the "dundunnn" jumpscare music). I do feel like I'm playing a little too bitch made tho. I usually scan a house from every outside window before even trying to go in and I found out if double tap E on doors it opens and shuts them instantly meaning jumpscare zombies can do shit.. Also, the helicopter event was nothing, I was in the fire station and just didn't leave, tho it kinda got spoiled because apparently it baits you into thinking it's a supply drop or some shit if you didn't already know it's to lure zombies. But I knew that years ago from watching videos on this game (feels bad man).Anything I need to know about bros? I'm day 12 so kinda just looking for food and water, my taps stoped working and have a "/20 litres" metric meaning it's no longer running (before was unlimited).. My mate also said my build is nearly perfect but the fact I picked Sunday Driver is literal "rerun" tier to him lmao
>>746654031>clear all of McCoy's lumber yard>not a single fucking axe
>>746659739>Anything I need to know about bros?TO CLARIFY, I mean like goals to work towards. Don't tell me how or don't tell me of any other events to come please. Mainly just something to work towards, before I had a goal of finding water source (found a river, been drinking water from there, got sick, put the water in the microwave in a pot and it works so I guess that's my water for now on). and a bagpack (found a school, got a small backpack so now i'm happy.
I tried getting into that game. But, it just feels soooo boring solo. Like Runescape videos, it only seems fun when you condense the 150 hours of bullshit to a palatable 2 hours.
>>746659889>goals to work towardsNot dying of boredom. Both you and your character.
>>746659765some of the loot spawn rates need rebalancing.I'm 2 months alive in my current save and haven't seen a single wood axe or sledgehammer. But i have 6 generators and enough guns/ammo to equip a small army. Generators and guns should be much rarer.Also, metal tools breaking is such bullshit. Yeah wood handles should break, but the actual metal head, no. You could cave a million heads in with a crowbar irl and it wouldn't break.but apart from that i love this game.
>you ok? you've been walking around with a gun and no pants
>>746653346You should try playing a good game.
>>746661043like PUBG!
>>746659739>Anything I need to know about bros? I'm day 12 so kinda just looking for food and water, my taps stoped working and have a "/20 litres" metric meaning it's no longer running (before was unlimited).. My mate also said my build is nearly perfect but the fact I picked Sunday Driver is literal "rerun" tier to him lmaoFigure out a plan for long term survival. There is lots of ways you can take it, which will be influenced by where you set up your base. Water is first issue to deal with. If you're urban then water dispensers are your friend. You can find them in a lot of commercial buildings. If you didn't know, the water bottles can be detached. Get a water dispenser in your base and collect and fill the bottles. Ideally this is done before the water shuts off but you can still fill them from what's left in the taps or purify river water.Then food. If you're urban you'll be able to survive off looted tinned goods for quite some time but it's worth trapping too. Stick traps will work on rooftops to catch birds just make sure they are at least 72 tiles away from your base and wont be disturbed by zombies. Power goes out the first 30 days, you'll want a generator and the ability to use it (either lvl 3 electrics or find the generator magazine). Ideally have 2 generators, one for your base and one to power the nearest gas station so you can get fuel. Yellow generator is the quietest and most efficient.If you chose to go rural/farm it's worth trying to find a place with a well. It saves you building some janky rain collector contraption. Many of the farms will already have animals on them. Chickens are the easiest 6-10 chickens will lay enough eggs to keep you going indefinitely, just remember to clean their coop or they'll die quickly.Get an antique stove.Dont forget to exercise.Collect duct tape/wood glue and regularly repair your tools and weapons or they'll break.Skill books are really important. Collect and read all that you can.
>>746659739You should try uninstalling it and playing literally any other zombie related game, because Zomboid is trash.
>>746662247haha no, cuck
>want to play Week One>spawn in rosewood>20fpsOk guess ill just settle for Bandits with True Companions mod then.>>746659765People actually use something else than crude stone axes?
>>746662685You really cannot call anyone a cuck when you are playing an unfinished scam that will never have anything meaningful added to it. You are cucking yourself out of playing genuinely good games.
>>746663906Lmao you're a cuck
>>746663905>People actually use something else than crude stone axes?break too easy. lucky if you get one tree out of them.
>>746664170But is also infinite.Plus i have overall mod for more durability.

>>746667948i dont know if thats for mei kind of like the last man alive vibes
i just sat next to her and we didn't say a word. still don't know her name
my clothing room is getting cramped...
>>746668776based. I can't wait for npcs to be terrible in 2032 and everyone will start posting 2 hour nostalgia essays about how much better was before them.
How long until i learn to play this game? I want to get into it but i was getting filtered, maybe i should give it a second chance.
>>746675103just be careful
>>746675103it took me like 20 hours to be really comfortable. Watch a few videos when you aren't playing cause there are tons of little mechanics that the game won't tell you about. I was learning basic shit at 100 hours in still. Just go fitness instructor with Strong and fit to start with 10 str 9 fitness it will make learning way easier too.
>746675370actually i meant just taking strong as fitness instructor you already start with +8 fitness I think.
>play for like 30 hours>have fun running around killing and collecting shit, literally never once interacted with crafting or building stuff>make a new character with the goal of trying to interact with crafting and getting generators and making a base (temporary?) in my hometown spawn>game feels infinitely more boringi don't get it
>>746675626you have to RP with yourself while doing it
>>746653346>33% offNah. Not enough.
>>746659889>I mean like goals to work towardsLMAO HAHAHA
>>746662202Isn't fuel limited in this game? Eventually you'll run out and your generator will be useless.
>>746653346I monitor a sex offender who loves this game
>>746675103stock vanilla is too hard unless you've got hundreds of hours in the game. play custom sandbox mode and set infection transmission to bite/saliva only and turn zombie respawns off (the latter doesn't stop the number of zombies increasing it just stops zombies you've already killed from respawning).always take stout and athletic in your traits.short sighted (collect and carry spare glasses) , prone to illness, thirst (carry two bottles of water) and slow healer are basically free points.
>>746676223the fuel pumps are technically finite but they contain such large quantities that you're never going to drain themi'm 2 months alive and i've barely made a dent in the one fuel pump i've been using, and that gas station has 4 other pumps. and even if i somehow drained all them there are dozens of other gas stations.
>>746676697Thanks, good info.
>>746675626The only crafting i like is carving and mechanics cause everything else the materials are gay as fuck to source. Especially blacksmithing everything is a multi step process.
>>746674078Cool shoe display
how fast is the vanilla respawn of zombies exactly? is it a steady trickle or do entire hordes suddenly manifest out of thin air?
>>746681564Vanilla has respawns off in all modes now. I play apocalypse and you can clear areas and they won't really mess with you unless a meta event pulls them over.
Is this game playable with controller yet?
>>746676223even constantly driving around it will take you years ingame before you even run out of every bit of fuel on the map (and even then Im pretty sure you can get it through foraging). if you stay in one place and only use it to power generators? probably years irl. you'll get bored of your save first
>>746681830then... whats the point of a safehouse if youre never threatened on your home turf again...
>>746681978How about making fuel in gas stations unlimited in the settings? Sounds like might as well.
>>746682143i don't know.
>>746672931so where are you getting these? I only care about the cute pre-zombie stuff like with the ranger qts
>>746653346wake me up when Britas is working
>>746682143>what's the point of a safe safehouse
>>746682143just because respawns are off doesn't mean zombies wont come to you. firstly, even with respawns off the number of zombies still increases, peaking at 1.5x initial numbers around day 30. Some of these new zombies can spawn in near you.secondly, zombies migrate, they move around the map.
>>746684398nah there's no reason to even fortify your base if you kill just whatever is nearby. It was actually dissappointing when I realized i never had to actually fortify my base. At least on apocalypse normal pop that is true.
>>746684175steam community hub
>>746684716thanks pal
>>746684398Yeah I always get followed home by one or two stragglers because my car is loudBarricading is for the peace of mind and access control, it wouldn't do you any favors with a horde knocking on the door anyway

>>746691389i got it for like 10 bucks years ago
it's so fucking cold outside why did I wear so little...
>>746668776Fair enough. I like npcs, especially bandits. Make you stay on your toes.
>>746659739>13 days in>FINALLY got a fucking bagpackI hate the loot tables in this game.
>>746653346>spawn in some small town>get literally every single bit of kit shy of the rare military bags and multitool>go to the same exact place I've already based a dozen times before>make it perfectly safe and have infinite food and water>go get the multitool and military bags from the military/gun spawns>spend a while trying to convince myself that the solitary, quiet life on a compound in the zombie apocalypse is immersive enough on its own to justify continuing to play>quit the game
>>746694317you can craft a backpack out of curtains the second you spawn in
Why has zomboid exploded so much lately? Constant threads on here now
>>746694345this game needs more breach attempts, wandering massive hordes, and more shit to set up at your base like actual piping and circuitry
>>74669440542.20 dropped and like 100k people play it now
>radish is the fastest growing crop>takes 30 days to grow>longest i ever survived was like 25ishGod damn i love this game but the farming could use a tad less realistic times.
>>746694562unless there's some body mods and thigh high clothing item mods working after the patch, I don't care
>>746694728did you know there's this giant menu with sliders where you can configure literally all of that shit
>>746694849>well I dont careAnd? no one cares that you dont care, people play and want to talk PZ thus daily PZ thread.>some body mods and thigh high clothing item mods workingThere are plenty of those.
>>746694849there are. you'll probably find the anime school clothes, but DON'T get the one that changes the bodies by the same guy. i tried it and it looks like shit. i dropped the anime clothing after a bit too
>>746653346Where are the npcs? Where is the goals beyond sit in basement with 500 cans of beans?

>>746696314How do you have your source code stolen more than once without any backup, even once
>go on looting run>end up a fat fuck despite having fast metabolism
>>746696367the same way 4chan gets hacked by a pdf file and has to shut down for weeks
>>746653346it's only fun for around 480 hours and then you get bored and never want to play again
>>746696397CHUNKY
>>746696397>85 is fat as fucktry eating only fish for 2 months straight, you'll add some meat on those bones
God those character noises at exerted/high exertion are fucking annoying.
Wait wait, hang on.Are there NPCs in the game now?It's been a long time since I played this.
>>746698076Hatred x bootleg fake anime girl
>>746698523it's a mod for the old build
>>746698724Ah, which mod by the way?
>>746698830Rjw
>>746698523There is a Bandit and Companion mod.Plus the Dogs/Cats and Horse mod.
>>746668776Yeah, for me survival games are good and comfy because of that vibe.This is why i never play them multiplayer.
>micro lag spike when trying to manuvour my van around zombies>crash into a signthis is the biggest thing that pisses me offno matter how careful you try and drive you'll hit a zombie behind a tree or some other bullshit
someone posted their chara and it was some chick with fishnets smoking and I busted to it
>water goes out on day 2 despite shutoff being 0-30 days>it happened like twenty timesI hate how fucking stacked against the player it is.
>>746699480Yet the game is permadeath with no save system regardless of the instant death falls through floors and car glitches. :^]>>746699547No you didn't
>>746699916You'd think it only having settings that go 0 to whatever instead of higher minimums would be bad game design but fuck you for trying to relax
>>746698830i've tried not alone mod and superb survivors. the first one can crash and kill your save file unless you back it up
>still need a mod to use treadmill/benches to workout>devs wasted time on remaking the entire map for some reasonI love this game but IS are one of the most puzzling, stupid dev team out there.>>746700046>>746700046Its biased against the player hard. I had so many runs when water goes out at the start/day 2-3 despite being set 0-30 that it boggles the mind.
>>746700734The dev hates his players and keeps threatening to sell out to Microsoft or whatever if you complain, he silences any dissent, dude may as well be yandev if he did convince streamers to make the game friendslop instead of actually fulfilling his promises
>>746699916lets be honest now, no one has ever lost a character from early water shutoff. its a mild annoyance at worst.
>half of the workshop is cluttered with True Music addons and other shit that could literally be sidestepped by running winamp with PZ and playing your own musicLame
>>746696261For me the joy of this game is setting your own goals.
>>746700046Yeah, we should be getting one guaranteed week so shutoff can be right after the heli/tv shows
>>746699480This is one of the many reasons I always take Sunday driverI'm never going fast enough to write off my vehicle
What is some good working airdrop mod for 42.20? Something working in single player..
What's the best Common Sense mod for B42
>>746653346The only reason i remember this game is because i got milked by a milf on discord while playing this game
>>746702762nigga leave them alone they just want to pirate music
>>746704017Who the fuck needs this much trouble and effort to pirate music?
>someone removed the entire Blood Bank challegne page from SteamWHY.jpeg
>>746703052i heard sunday driver gets you killed if you need to tow shit, getaway quick or drive on grass, thought ive never actually picked iti always take speed demon but i also heard it makes your car way louder and reversing waaaaay louder
>>746702910>he still watches the tv shows
>>746705375Towing is off limits with sunday driver. And trying to drive through grass is uber risky because one zombie can stop your entire car.Trying to get to military base with SD is a ballbusting fetish material.
>>746702910all the skill shows have vhs so not watching them on week 1 isnt that big a dealwith books it only takes like 2 to reach the lvl cap (assuming you left it vanilla)
>got to the point where plants are growing up my cabins walls, cracks are forming on the roads and im seeing racoons running around towncomfy
So if you dont see the race car at the speedway or the drag strip then its gg for that save?Or do they spawn anywhere else?I want a race car :(
>>746706236>race carGas the Bikes.
>>746705857>find vhs in early game named "a stitch in time">think nothing of it because entertainment vhs are a dime a dozen>find out much later that it gives 75 tailoring xp>impossible to remember the house I left it inthis is your reminder to always check the vhs description when you find one
I'm no carfag but 6k revs at 90 mph seems rather highWhy does our character rev the shit out of every car?
I see backing up with a trailer is just as annoying in this game as it is irl.
>>746696397
>>746708887yuck
>>746708630this game actually got me better at doing that irl
>>746708887based
>>746667096Big boy sitting in the grown up chair
What do you even do in this game though? Seems like it'd get really boring after you've cleared the area around your base and got enough food and medication to be safe for a while. Like there's no npc to interact with, no ending to aim for, building is limited, whatthe fuck do you do? Are there even multiple types of zombies?
>>746710581If you don't enjoy slaughtering hundreds and thousands of zombies by hand this isn't the game for you.
>>746709853lady that door is going down in about 4 seconds I really wouldnt be sitting there
>>746710581this is like voices of the voidit's supposed to be a horror, signal collection gamebut turns into a stardew valley type of cozy game
bro I just keep finding these
>>746713828theyre not nearly as rare as they were in unstable. multitools are more useful and much rarer though.
>>746713828Lucky fucking bastard
>>746705375Never tried towing with it, so you could be right.As for the driving off-road, yes it's incredibly slow but all you need to do is avoid getting yourself in a situation where that's going to happen. Just keep your vehicle on the road.
>>746714046yeah they are much more common nowadaysalso found like 3 multitools in one of those stores in rosewoodthe "glow up" has just made towns much more loot rich
>>746714284>Just keep your vehicle on the road.Sometimes you cant.
I like it right up until the point where I get my shit together, get some decent gear, and a solid base. Then I get bored.NO I DON'T WANT TO MAKE POTTERY AND LIVE A SELF SUFFICIENT LIFESTYLE IN THE FOREST FOR 200 HOURS FIGHTING THE OCCASIONAL SURPRISE ZOMBIE EVERY OTHER (irl) DAY
>>746714461Mods, settings etc.
>>746714461you're supposed to work towards making your life easier>get tailoring so you can repair your cool clothes and sew increasingly better backpacks>mechanics so you can fix up your car's trunk capacity and handling>carving so you can make your own baseball bats and not have to perpetually use shit weapons like the crowbar>running, sneaking, lightfooted, nimble so you can schmoove around zombies instead of having to fight everything everywhere you go>blacksmithing so you can craft your own tools and weaponsdo you not have the desire to increase your quality of life?are you afraid of a little scratch permakilling your character or something?
>>746714609yeah that makes the early game more interesting. I like blind sprinters with super hearing, particularly. Changes the whole way you play. But it still gets repetitive once you get your shit together.>>746714637I fuck on you
is there anywhere fun to base in louisville? seems like it might just be a ballache to even exist theredon't say the cringe fenced off mansions every cuck does that
>>746714729>yeah that makes the early game more interesting.Necroa mod, bandits mod, setting peak spawns to be overwhelming late in the game, that one mod that simulats other sruvivors looting off screen so you end up with empty husks of buildings without even furniture after a while etc.There is a lot to do here son.
>>746714950Theres a good warehouse with roof access and double garage doors in the top left industrial area by the military store
>>746714950Peregrin Hospital.
>>746659739>>746659889>goals to work towards.I hate to burst your bubble anon, but just about the only thing zomboid has going for it is the initial exploration honeymoon phase.Because of the dev's "this is how you die" autism there is no official goal and there never will be one.Closest thing is to turn the game into a worse version of Stardew Valley.Its sad because of the wasted potential it would be so easy for them to add scenarios with different starting builds and goals.But nope, "this is how you die".
You can take a rain collector or amphora to the gas station and fill it with fuelI give this information for free
>>746660230>Generators and guns should be much rarer.Depends on if you are going for "gameplay" or "realism".Gameplay says, yes.Realism says no.IIRC the game takes place in the US, guns are extremely common here and a single semi Intact store would net you thousands of bullets of various calibers alongside 20+ guns.Generators are a bit more rare unless you are in an area that gets bad weather regularly in which case many houses will have something stashed away in a shed and the local hardware store will have dozens in stock.But the dev operates on a "anything realistic that helps the player is bad and anything that's realistic and hurts the player is good" mentality so don't expect much.
>>746715829yes but keep the lid on or it'll evaporate
you guys know there are ways to make the game more difficult and more interesting other than to make zombies more numerous or to make loot rarer right?
>>746715673>sandbox is a sandboxHow utterly terryfing to you, SONY fagGame could use some late game goals but its fine even without them.
>don't want to waste generator fuel so I'm only keeping the fridges on>they also work as lights for my roomNeat
>>746716102Install the Necroa virus mod
>>746716102>>746716226Necroa aside its seriously underrated how much of a game changer Bandits are.
>>746675626The game is inherently not made for crafting in singleplayer. Even on default settings you can solve all of your issues with short runs into a city, which ends up being both more enjoyable and more time effective.
>>746716154the amount of fuel they use is completely negligible and it's probably annoying as fuck being in the darkjust turn your lights on
>>746716226>>746716271this is like rimworld's V.O.I.D. right? so incredibly imbalanced the mod authors tells you to use overpowered mods to make up for the challenge?
>>746716359Having to refuel my generator every 2 or 3 days gets annoying. I want to go out on week long runs and not worry about my perishable food rotting away. I'm still at the start.
>>746716374Not in the slightest.Bandits are just much more of a threat than zombies ( even sprinters ) and they often require outside the box tactic.
>>746716451Do they work midsave? I want to survive for a few months then add bandits and pretend they're survivors migrating from the surrounding states.
>>746716113>only sonyfags want games to have an ending.OK.Yaknow, the game can have a mode sandbox and scenarios/campaign.It has all the shit needed for it and would only improve the game.
>>746716451oh then it's not that hard you probably could exploit the buggy AI or somethingI need something like VOID that was developed specifically to destroy all player metas and to make it impossible for people to ever win in any way
>>746655713those are some big bulges
>>746716540According to the mod make you can.>>746716641Yes, Sonyfags are utterly mystified about the concept of sandbox game that isnt linear corridor.>>746716648They hit hard, they can disable generators, open doors etc.VOID is just OP on purpose with VOID breaking all rules of the game to make them harder.
is there any way to get floor coverings besides physically ripping them off someone elses house?
>Lemmy bought the ad and is discord raiding with multitrannies here nowhttps://imgur.com/a/dtQM9Fzwe're all waiting for the day the game comes out of EA and gets refunded by everybody, making you go bankrupt ahahahaahha
>>746716903there probably is a mod for furniture tiles.
I can't play this game without Dynamic Horde Events since the game starts feeling boring once I've cleared out an area. Just waiting for someone to make an actually good bandit npc mod.
>game that has 75K active players on steam needs to buy discord troons raidsCDDA fag cope will never fail to make me laugh.
>>746717003doesn't that just spawn a bunch of zombies nearby and make them path towards you? sounds kinda lame
>>746715829But you cant move it when its got liquid in tho right?Or do you mean just set barrels around the pump before the power goes out and fill them up?
>>746716450That anon is rightCheck the fuel usage on the generator info with and without lights on. The difference is so minimal its not worth doing. Refrigerators and freezers use waaaaaaaaaay more gas than having 50 different lights on in your base
I've got a shotgun and 154 12 gauge.I need to clear out these zombies to recover a truck that's parked at the gas station just past the horde.
>>746716102I changed the day/night times, made night time pitch black and made sprinters 15% and all other zombies move quicker after 9pmFeels like dying light zombies now
>>746653346>im hopelessly addicted to project zomboidI got bored after 50 hours, but I'm not complaining. I only paid 5 bucks for the game in key shop.Anyway, what do you guys do after establishing a base? It seems like there really isn't much to do other than eat canned food and cry yourself to sleep.
