>Increased the amount of thread required to weave a fabric roll from 100 to 400
Where would they even get the data think this was necessary? I don't think I've crafted fabric roll even once but if I did I'm sure it was already tedious at 100 thread

>>2569325
You could make fabric rolls, turn them into clothes, turn them into thread, and then turn them back into fabric endlessly.
But instead of just doing the sensible thing and making it a 'bit' harder to make fabric rolls they QUADRUPLED the cost.

Makes me think there was also some inability and insecurity motivating his decision. He was struggling to develop it, got frustrated, and the screeching comments flipped him over the edge.

what if it was called project negroid and the zombies were instead black crackheads

Amusingly it's more accurate to the Romero films than vanilla settings.
Romero zombies are made when anyone dies from any cause, except head trauma.

i dont think i have ever seen a game driven into the ground like this in real time. each update just makes it worse. no hotfixes for bugs; no you just have to wait three-four weeks and hope they fix it only for them to introduce different bugs.
its such a joke.

>>2609714
Recently while I was emulating Airforce Delta Strike I had some streamer playing Zomboid in another window and I was genuinely flabbergasted when they said something along the lines of "wow this game has improved so much in the last decade I'm so impressed with these devs".
Their gameplay looked the exact same as what you'd see many years ago. The only standout difference was that zombies were ragdolling when ran over, some animals were running in circles, and the fire looked a bit different.

Maybe they were afraid of saying something negative and inciting backlash from zomboid's trans fanbase? I genuinely don't know why else people would dickride these devs so hard.

>>2609753
you have to play the game for a while to really notice how shallow it is and get intimately familiar with the bugs and everything.
like the slow stand-up with a weapon bug, almost no one who isnt meta gaming is going to notice that, most people wont think to sit while zombies are aggroed unless they understand how fatigue/muscle strain works.

>>2609753
Streamers are just biased to either shill for the games they play in order to keep people interested and watching, or make their entire personality just shitting on it and getting angry for the viewer's "entertainment". There are exceptions but these people are generally pretty soulless.

>>2609812
i like watching retanaru since he is an advanced player who clearly enjoys the game but recognizes what poor stewards TIS are. even he cannot deny they are slowly killing the game with their bullshit.

>>2609771
>sit while zombies are aggroed unless they understand how fatigue/muscle strain works.
I know about stopping behind an obstacle to 'lock' the pathfinding of aggro'd zombies so you can lose them, but what's this about sitting with aggroed zombies and how does it tie to fatigue/muscle strain? Obviously sitting is better for recovery but doing that while aggroed is for...?

I thought the players were immune to the airborne and thus not infected(until they get the bodily fluids version)?
Are we just symptom immune carriers?

>>2613250
On vanilla settings, the player is immune to the airborne version, and thus if they jump off an office building they won't turn into a zombie.
But in 'everyone's infected', the player is a carrier of the airborne infection, so while they won't turn into a zombie while alive, they will turn when jumping to their death.

Reading a book fully should give you 1 level along with an XP boost for the next level.
5 books, getting you to level 5 (not even that fucking high, because most shit requires 7+), assuming you find all of them in a collection.
I hate Lemmy so much.

>>2614855
He could just copy how DDA does it but that would make the game too enjoyable.
You know it's bleak when even DDA is more player friendly.

>>2614860
How does DDA work?

>>2614890
Skill levels are split into "practical" and "theoretical". Reading only gives theoretical levels, which unlocks recipes and increase practical exp gain up to that level.

In other words, as long as you read a carpentry book you don't need to build 500 barrels to build a wall. 2x or not, it eliminates the unfun unrealistic grind.

>>2614926
Wow, that sounds so much better than Zomboid's shitty fucking level system.

TIS has made the official policy that mod-makers 'own' their mods (as if you can somehow 'own' IP infringement lmao), so if you make any mod which even uses a single line of another mod, you can get banned.
And yes, this includes mods that just re-use vanilla code like mods that allow you to repair/upgrade vanilla items that are not repairable. There's only one way to add that functionality so whoever did it first, can DMCA all other mods which do it.

Seems there's more to it than just that.
Apparently the Brita dev made a DMCA claim on one of his mod but you don't get booted from the Workshop just for a DMCA.
Faded_OneTTV was scrapping the workshop to basically steal mods, a lot of his mods were just copies of other mods.
In general it seems the PZ workshop have a huge problem with mod theft, when a mod become popular there's often dozens of copies being shat out, just look at Common Sense, there's a whole page of copies.

Mods all technically belong to the developer/IP owner. You're modifying their IP, which is comically illegal unless there's some very specific legal-ese going on in the contract (no developer really does this, because it'd be tantamount to throwing away ownership of the IP)

>>2614926
theoretical only unlocks recipes and raises your skill ceiling for crafts.
You still need to craft or practice to level your practical skill, which lets you make crafts with less chance of error.

>>2628348
>5 books is also ridiculous considering the players expertise is diy at best. 3 books. levels 1-4 5-8 9-10.
I don't really care too much about there being 5 books for every skill, it gives incentive to search more parts of the map for them.
But skills are so fucking weighted towards the ass-end of the skill, that it feels like a slog to get 'anywhere' with skills.
