these are my traits surely nothing will go wrong?

>>2186472
After just one run with motion sensitive I was convinced its far from free points. Well if you're doing a Lemmy sanctioned ungabunga run, of course it is free, but for everyone else it requires really planning ahead since even the shortest trip will immediately put you in a fever state.

>>2186512
yeah after playing a bit I think im gonna restart without motion sickness and without fear of blood
the latter is making me unable to know when I need to smoke

>>2186428
No.

Playing a listen server with my friend, I'm hosting. Whenever I drive a vehicle my friend never sees me driving anywhere and the car never moves on his side but whenever he drives it works.

Is this because it's not dedicated? I really don't want to go through the process of making a dedicated server just to fix a bug.

I had an idea for a mod that was a total transformation mod that removed all modern tech things and adds medieval weapons and stuff and the map is a replica of Westeros and the zombies are white walkers.

You could say the same for caloric values, except it's a 5 seconds job. Zomboid is abandonware.

>>2187023
I'd be content to just survive innawoods and do cool shit if the devs actually bothered. Bows and crossbows don't exist, and animals give 0 calories so hunting is pointless. The entire zombie combat consists in walking backwards while clicking. We have no bows, no throwing rocks to distract zeds, their AI to find you is insufferably spiteful (a zed will perfectly hear you and find you from 5 stories below, zeds pathing around fences, zeds becoming gods when on the ground...), all the systems blatantly suck or aren't implemented.

300 zombie hearing causing some cells to be packed with zombies because of meta event sounds. Some rally settings to make zombies travel around a bit more.

I guess this is for anyone looking for an empty dedicated server.

Fucking hate how retarded game communities are now, nobody fucking talks about the game anymore.

>>2187613
where?

>>2187617
You didn't notice the shitloads of zombies wearing children's clothes, carrying children's backpacks full of children's items?

>>2187621
No? If they have the same size body then you mean teens/adolescences not children.

>>2187623
>Young teens aren't children
What did they mean by this?

>>2187627
If they have the same body as an adult they're not a child.

>>2187629
You're implying that the setting has heaps of those weird fetishists who pretend to be children, and they all ran to the local schools during a zombie apocalypse?
Or...
The devs are lazy?

>>2187632
Or it's a highschool

>>2187634
Look I know this is 4chan, and 'she's 13 out of 10' and all that.
They're still children.

>>2187638
Clearly if they have the same models as adults they're going to be representing seniors.

>>2187641
>Clearly they're adults despite all evidence to the contrary and the developers being lazy motherfuckers

That has always been a thing near schools.

>>2187754
No it fucking hasnt. Load up B41 and check for yourself.

Take your meds

>>2187754
No, it was added with B42 when they added a shitload of items and changed spawns and shit.

>>2187621
>children's clothes
there are no child zombie models, no children's clothes and no zombie children

>>2188076
Shut the fuck up and get out of the thread Lemmy, you broke your own promise not to put children zombies ingame yet somehow they slipped by you lmao.
Such an incompetent retard.

Stop this needless cope.

despite what your hypno fetish videos say, dressing up your obese ass into children's clothes and wearing a big red backpack does not automatically make you a child
substantiate your claims with screenshots or perish

>>2188099
You're suggesting the game, set in 1993 zombie apocalypse, had hundreds of weirdos dressing up as children at the local schools and daycares?

Not him, but still no. 90% of changes between B41 and B42 are actively harmful to the experience, and I already experienced everything interesting the game had to offer years ago. The only new content in the last 3 year has been lemmy melties and hilariously shitty and spiteful updates.

You were able to find varsity students with school backpacks before B42 though.

nah it was me

i would happily pay 20$ for a "npcs dlc" if it meant Lemmy would make his team get off their fat fucking asses and actually work on the game for once instead of spending 4 years working on knitting and fly fishing mechanics, but even he knows thats not going to happen.

looks and feels great, aside from the fact that driving is a stuttering nightmare. as soon as I drive, immediately drops to 15 fps

>Rotten/burnt food is always an instakill with no real way to prevent death
Why not just disable eating the food if it's fucking lethal?

>>2189745
sorry chud this game is realistic, if you eat burnt french fries you will instantly keel over and die just like IRL

>>2189757
Yeah my mom ate a burnt steak one time, nothing the doctors could do for her.
She got a fever within a couple hours and died faster than ebola could kill a person.

>All non-Axe weapons have a -1 effective to skill modifier
>There has never been an explanation for this
>It's not a bug either, it's deliberate "If not axe, then -1 to skill" modifier

What the fuck is wrong with these devs?

>Canonically no bombs dropped in the exclusion zone with the exception of maybe near Louisville's burnt town
>Huge pileups of burnt cars looking like it was napalm striked
Can the devs go 1 fucking minute without retconning their own lore?
At least they got rid of the flatscreen TV's that were in the game, those made no fucking sense.

>This is a realistic game, CHUD!
>That's why only the player can activate house alarms, 100 zombies entering a house wouldn't do that!

Hoping Dandelion Void is good. Zomboid feels like the greatest waste of potential ever but nobody wants to pick up the mantle to make a better game.

>>2189874
I lost interest in that game when I saw the previews and the player character was a bald black woman.

>>2189768
Same reason why some of the skill levels do literally nothing for certain weapon types.
I never expected Bannerlord to be fixed before this game.

>>2187634
At least they didn't bother differentiating between types of school looking at the loot. The elementary school in Muldraugh has the same type of loot as the middle/high school in Riverside for instance. Or maybe in the US you start reading welding, butchering and mechanic technical manuals in elementary school.
The so called "child" zombies are full grown zombies with childrens backpacks and some kind of generic Chris Chan-esque clothing. Honestly way more creepy than if they were to add actual child zombies to the game.

>>2189683
Now I always do athletic no matter what, but I've tried starting with weak. On 3x XP its kind of bearable, but honestly still feels fucking bad. For the first 2-3 days you can barely loot anything and have to sacrifice at least two days (one day if you also fully turn off muscle strain) to even get back up to 5, and that's the most critical time to be looting things.

>>2190199
Why critical time to loot things? I just spam fastforward next to a tv until lvl 3. Then do lvl 4 sometime later

Obese is nice when you have low food loot rate and gaining weight can be annoying.

I never pick the low fitness stuff though. 5 is totally fine if you use a knife build.

>>2190212
I just like to get a generator up and going in the first couple days so I can save as much ice cream as possible in the freezer, in case there is an early shutoff.

Turn infection mortality to 'never', it gives a potentially dangerous fever but you can survive it as long as you aren't already heavily wounded or starving.

>>2191497
How much health do you lose from the fever?

>>2191504
It's not too much provided you snack while you're sick.
But it weakens you and makes you overheat (meaning it makes you tired too)
So generally it's a case of 'if you're infected, stay the fuck away from zombies for a while'.
But it can kill you.

I can't, it would be cheating. I am here to suffer pointlessly

>>2191808
Same question you can ask for 95% of B42 content.

>repairing a weapon has a chance to fail and damage it instead
for what fucking purpose?

does anyone here still feel hopeful about the game's future? I think I'm about ready to give up

>>2191960
Not really, because unlike other games that thrive on modding they're working at cross purposes with both the modding community and the larger part of players. Like they have their ridiculous ideas about "realism" and what the game should be about (that you should absolutely guaranteed die in a few days, unless you resign yourself to grinding stone age survival skills and living innawoods for 200-300 hour playthroughs).
A more sensible dev would see that after B41 MP when most people found the game, most of those players just want a highly tweakable sandbox to play zombie apocalypse. Really no one except the devs themselves are interested in their ideas of "realism". They just want the game to be STABLE and highly moddable. And yet because of their stubbornness and autism they're going to hold this against players, whining about how mean everyone is to them and how they need to take 6 months off work to play some faggot game to relax (which ends up giving them inspiration for even more retarded ideas) leading to B42 stable probably taking 1-2 more years to finish. The longer it takes the more they will demoralize the player and modding community until it gets to a point where even when B42 stable hits there is no one around to bother modding any more.
That's not even beginning to talk about B43 and whatever retarded ideas for NPC's they might have cooking.

>>2191960
hell no

>>2191808
Nobody knows. It's not a bug either, it's 100% intended behavior because the actual check is literally "If not Axe, -1 to skill"

>>2192071
where's the mod that fixes it then?

>>2192163
I don't think anybody has actually fixed it yet.

having to downloads mods to fix years old bugs and "intended behaviours" for a game that has been in active development for 14 years is grim

>>2192286
Oh fun fact, even today when over 500 zombies appear in your cell, it despawns a bunch.
Meaning you can run around and attract huge swathes of zombies which 'kills' shitloads without your knowledge.
You can't get the giga-fuckhuge hordes anymore, 500 is the cap. And 500 is actually higher than the 300 which the game defaults to.

>>2192289
oh yes I know this, IIRC it's to prevent lag from massive hordes, I also remember a lot of coping that the massive engine optimizations in B42 will make this function unecessary
now the game runs even worse than it did before the optimizations lol

>>2192291
At least I think they fixed the 'bug' where zombies don't spawn inside buildings until you enter them.
Which was always total bullshit.
>Fire a fucking shotgun in the street, no zombies

>10 zombies???

>Zomboid's grind isn't that bad! Just use *Insert unintended grind/loop/exploit* and it's easy!
Ahh yes the developers totally balanced the game around the player being able to pick up 500 carryweight of gold bars from a specific location!

>>2192362
I found gold bar next to the dead bank robber car event.
