Project Zomboid is set in 1993 and was first released in 2011. This is an 18 year difference. Zomboid has been in early access for 15 years. Previous zed: >>2866277
I think the game should prompt you if you try to do a long task while actively bleeding out or freezing to death.
>>2897299Or when there's bad smells.
>>2897299It does, though. That's what moodles are for.Or your character bleeding everywhere and making hurt noises.Or if you're not a drooling ape who turns off his health bar and gets confused when he gets hurt.
The game is shit at telling you about your most vital statuses. Without an endurance ui cheat you would never know how long to rest before you hit full. They dont tell you what lowers damage so without a wiki you will never know if stress or pain even do anything.
>>2897311buh buh buh buh buh BUH THAT TAKES UP 2% OF MY SCREEN AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIE
>>2897311>It does though>It doesn'tLmao
>>2897312>character gets slow>health panel shows strained status effect>moodles have descriptions to inform you about the status they're trying to communicate with you about, such as how tired you are>WUH? BUH? HUH? HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?
>>2897317It does, though. Just stop turning all the useful ui elements off, retard. Or keep dying I guess
>>2897299>needing the handholding equivalent of boomers first time using a computer
>>2897322That is not at all a replacement for the meta knowledge that the only things you need to dodge are fighting and fatigue. Outside of combat I play this game on autopilot there's not much going on.
>>2897327>Don't turn off the UI elements that are off by default!
>>2897272>have friends that autistically play this game>they keep begging me to play>every time I watch them play, it's the most tedious shit I've ever seen with 0 fun.>mind you, I don't mind tedious shit when it's balanced. I really enjoy mindless shit like VoTV.>I finally install and join and they give me some gear>within only ~4 game hours or whatever the fuck, character already has like 4-5 ailments>character also gets a cold immediately (???)>swing a hatchet at a zombie within arms reach>zombie is 1px far enough that the hatchet doesn't register, but the animation shows it clearly swinging through the head>but the zombie closes the distance in .01 seconds and bites me, stun locking my character so I can't just simply step backwardsthis game is fucking retarded
>>2897339The funniest thing is that all your issues are complete nonissues once you've played the game enough.Except that's the issue, the game is fucking retarded because it appears hyper difficult and complex while actually being shallow as a fucking puddle and easy as shit.
>>2897316>>2897322>>2897311Again, just stop replying. He's pretending to be retarded on purpose.
>>2897344>it appears hyper difficult and complex while actually being shallow as a fucking puddle and easy as shitI really dont feel like studying the bullshit meta some autist cooked up when the core gameplay loop feels like a shitty New Grounds flash game from 2010when does the fun begin? is the satisfaction literally just persisting the broken ass mechanics? like some sort of stocholm syndrome?
>>2897357>when does the fun begin?Oh, it doesn't lmao. The game is tedious as hell.The most fun you'll have is smashing zombies with the pretty-shitty combat system (guns are sort of fun too), and generally most of the fun you'll have is when you talk to your IRL buddies in Co-Op. Except that talking to buddies IRL is fun in the first place so why water it down with Zomboid?
>This game that takes 100 hours just to grow a single carrot?>Yeah, you need to be locked in watching your health bar at all times or else this is how you died!
>>2897361No no no, it's not 100 hours to grow a single carrot.It's 120 hours to grow a bundle of carrots dependent on your farming level and how well you cared for the carrots over that many hours.
>>2897357>the core gameplay loop feels like a shitty New Grounds flash game from 2010I've been playing dead zone revive and was reminded it has better art, animations and combat than zomboid despite being a browser game from 2012
>its the visual health indication retard againWhats the matter anon, died again? Well this is how you do
How many copies has this game sold? 10 million? More? Most of the time the real number of purchases is at least 10x the number if steam reviews.
this game is so fucking boring, only retards with a shit pc from 2009 are playing this garbage to roleplay because their pc can't handle gta5
>>2897408At least 13 million by estimations.
>dismantle sand barricade>loot 3 sandbags>Put down 9 sand tiles>Put 1 sand in each bag>Set up sand barricade>Dismantle sand barricadeInfinite sand in b42 stable has never been easier.
>>2897357>studying the bullshit metaThere is no meta. Just learn how to control your character properly and kill every fucking zombie in sight. Then you can craft.I'm guessing you stood there like a retard and let the zombie bite.Also your friends sound retarded too. The worst way to get someone into a game is to just give the new player a bunch of shit so he doesn't need to actually engage with the game.

zombie games with sexy zombies i can capture?

>>2897505Ekron was next on my listI want to loot the welding factory and metal workshop too
>>2897449>There is no metaThere absolutely is, and it makes the game comically easy.
>>2893436i almost cleared out another layer around the rich neighborhood. my hope is that when the chopper comes I can just hide in a rich person's house and no zombies will come by, similar to the police. managed to make a tarp sling bag but it's not much better than sheet one. I also have materials to make a can reinforced bat, but they're scattered around everywhere, so a crowbar does fine for now. i also found a survivor home with canned food and guns so that's nice. at some point i'll need to pick a nice house to call a home and gather all this loot.
>>2897330>>2897311>>2897316>>2897351Yeah, my screen looks like this most of the time and I'm fine with it.
>she died because of a skill issue>so she needs to argue with anons for hours about it
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3785397275has anyone tried the Extraction Mode mod? makes the game like tarkov, you have a permanent off-map hideout, adds quests, and you can barter/trade with contacts
>>2897714>SheTranime posting?
>>2897719we're all sisters here
>>2897339For me the fun comes from finding a good spot, not having to fight zombies since the fighting is kinda lame, and being able to base build, then you go on a supply run and it feels shitty because there's so many zombies and if you so much as stub your toe you need to use a lot of resources just to keep yourself safe and alive. Even if you have respawns turned off to realistically try to have a situation where you can clear an area of zombies the game is sorta programmed to try to relocate zombies from one area to another if there's a spot that's been empty for too long. So sometimes you'll be chilling somewhere and then suddenly like 20 will roll in. But I got sorta this fuck off base going that's kinda nice. It's just that's all there is to it. Find a base, start loading it up, and sitting around, or working out
>>2897716>modders can do this>the actual devs can't even make a coherent crafting UI
>>2897725Slay queen!
>>2897681It's been a while since I've played but the longest was always getting on rosewood, trying to find a car, bailing past the gastation onto the street that leaves the town going left (from game perspective) until you get to the first or second right, which is like a small effeciency house and then a country house at the end of it with a nice piece of farming land in the backyard. me and my friends always chop trees and build wood walls around it, and work on a third shack while looting the grocery store and gas station to fill up our house, getting a generator and living there. just doing runs to fill up with gas, get more cars or materials to build up. Good times...
>>2897514Welding 3 + 9 welding rods acquired
Anyone know any good NPC mods that you can recruit too? I kinda like the idea of like...Spawning into a game where there's people still alive, screaming, shooting, running around. It makes things feel like chaos.
>>2897791>I never found the crates/counter magazineGuess I'm going back to looting houses in RosewoodThis game plays a lot differently when you have sprinters enabled
>>2897577Then don't use it.
>>2897577Regardless, the anon who missed his swing and got bit doesn't need to know the meta. He needs to know how to move backwards while swinging. It's just basic controls. He strikes me as the type of person who tries nothing and then complains nothing works.
>>2897992Way too many people are just uber retarded at vidya. It reminds me of how countless youtubers/streamers spend HOURS in Don't Starve without opening up the controls once or thinking to themselves "damn using the mouse to attack or pick up stuff constantly is horrible, isn't there a key to do that without having to precisely aim?".
>>2897339Tiny bit of advice, just walk backwards and swimb. But sometimes you don't even need to walk backwards, if you have a fence just walk over it. You just wait for them to lunge over it and face plant and then stomp their head every single time. No fuss...Even better if like 5 are chasing you and they all face plant walk on top of them, now you're standing on them and genuinely they cannot get up, it's actually a cool little thing... Then you stomp their heads ez pz. Stomping is better than using your weapon...Mostly, unless you have a REALLY good weapon.
>>2897359>Oh, it doesn't lmao. The game is tedious as hell.thank you for admitting it. most wont on the normie web.>Except that talking to buddies IRL is fun in the first place so why water it down with Zomboid?amen.>>2897391that's an insanely nice art style albeit being an infinitely smaller scope of a game. Zomboid feels extremely bland in comparison.>>2897449>I'm guessing you stood there like a retard and let the zombie bite.No? Why do people write shit that assumes I've never played video games before?>Also your friends sound retarded too. The worst way to get someone into a game is to just give the new player a bunch of shit so he doesn't need to actually engage with the game.If you had a friend you really enjoyed playing with but who had zero interest in grinding your shitty game. It's a viable method. I need to see what I'm working towards before I feel like dedicated hours of my life grinding.>>2897726your description sounds fun and genuinely interesting, but the actual gameplay loop itself is such a genuine slog that I can't find myself enjoying it. I really wish I did though.>>2897992> He needs to know how to move backwards while swinging.why do you assume I wasn't? this is so hilarious. the zomboids have bullshit magnetism like most every other zombie game. except this game is supposed to be the "muh realism" experience.>He strikes me as the type of person who tries nothing and then complains nothing works.how much longer do you propose I play this dogshit game?>>2898001many vidya are designed retardedly. When you've consumed so many AAA products that are specifically tailored for mass appeal (both to benefit and detriment), going to an indie product feels like shoveling gravel. It reminds me of Mr. Beast talking about how he didn't realize that "package engineer" was an actual job/consideration when his chocolate bars fell off store shelves and shattered. UI/UX is as integral to the game as the actual combat.
>>2898029>You just wait for them to lunge over it and face plant and then stomp their head every single time. No fuss...Anon hasnt been lunged at by the falling over object zombie (or has good timing to dodge the window it activates on) but yeah fuck doing this in sneakers bro
>>2898070skill issue
whats a good way to set up a secure entrance to my base?
>>2898119You dont really need to unless you use horde mods or have respawn on (maybe?). Default Apocalypse has respawn off now. Once you clear surrounding zombies that area is pretty much safe that said, had a wandering zombie shit me up in the kitchen one night, i left the door open and was listening to pearl jamHigh fences cant be beat for security, dont even need a gate just lose los round the corner and head to base
>>2898078>Anon hasn't been lunged atI'm aware of the lunge but that's why you just stand a little extra back and then just walk forward lol. I guess I should add STAND FAR ENOUGH AWAY lol...But it's worked for me so goddamn well in the past. You usually just have to stand around a laying zombies distance and a little extra change. Then you just mosey on up since it cancels out their get up or you force cancel their get up with a hit. From there you just play whack a mole and bonk. >>2898070Yeah the hard part is starting the game (lol) and then running out to the house I always go to. Or if you wanna be a tryhard meta gamer, just do a run that is strictly for scouting, die, and spend your next playthrough going to the place you decided on and trying to make it work.
>>2898070>the zomboids have bullshit magnetism like most every other zombie gameThis actually pisses me off a bit.Zombies chase you with visible slowness, then suddenly, magically despite already wanting to eat your ass, they speed up and magnetize to you.Fucking bullshit, just make their usual movement faster or make their 'attack lunge' a short range burst of speed that wears off. None of this 'lol 1.5x speed forever!!!!' bullshit.
>>2898266Skill issue. That closing in speed j crease with thr romero arms out is HUGE to your advatnage when facing mutliple zombies, figure the distance to activate it so you can draw 1 zombie close at a timezombie speed also varies btw and is all tweakable in settings, you can play with slow shamblers only if you want but you better increase pop if you dont wanna be OP
>>2898273I'm, not saying it's difficult, I am saying it clashes with the rest of the game and the vision of 'realism'.
>>2898070>>2898266Yeah it IS annoying that the zombies shamble, but then when they decide to go "BLEEEHH" mode, they stick their arms out and suddenly their movement speed is fast. Or the issue with sprinters is that they're perfectly stationary, and then when they decide to chase you, they turn around and sprint on a dime without a wind up>>2898273I was about to post a little what this anon said, it does sometimes help though because if several zombies are chasing you and one decides they want to speed boost up at you, you get a chance to wack on, and if it's a good hit, kill it outright, or give you time to hit and then stomp before getting distance again. But also use stuff that makes them fall over, seriously anything that can give you a window for a one shot is great. Anything that funnels them
>>2897462>needing two monitors for one gamenot the argument you think it is
>>2898297That is pure fluff. You dont need to look at 90% of those bars at all times. The anon who needs more indication hes dying needs to add powdered red mist visual effects or something
Keep your copies of HottieZ, my guy found everything he needs.

can i turn off plant growing seasons in debug? i have a comfy save but i forgot to turn it off; i probably won't interact with it but i would like at least the possibility of growing some shit.
I'm a noob but it feels like a very different game if I turn off infection mortality. If you turn the game into a war of attrition rather than an instagib simulator then it fundamentally changes how you play the game and the tension you feel. I think I'll just play with saliva only, so the chance of death is always present, however small it is. But then playing with sprinters or door opening zombies just feels awful because you know you'll just eventually get killed by one of them due to bad luck. I'm open to ideas though.
this house is comfy except for... whatever the fuck this is. jesus. can i ignore it? it will annoy me forever.

not extremely useful information, but the same way you can reinforce baseball bats/short bats with tin cans you can do it with wooden handles/rods (and also tree branches)this means you can make some ok makeshiftt weapons while you grind crafting for better weapons or you cant find any better weapons

>>2901368That's TOO MANY eggs. Pls understand.There's a farm in echo creek that had like, 160 eggs on Apocalypse + a bunch of chickens and coops prefabbed. It's why I think its basically the perfect starting zone, along with low zombie pop and the nearby gas station, spiff and go, and trailerpark. If you get lucky zone stories will spawn a police checkpoint so you can get some guns and ammo.
>>2901586I see stupid fucking posts by people saying how they've harvested a gorillion sunflowers to have years worth of food.For what fucking purpose? 99.9% of runs last less than a year, there's still no proven 10 year runs, the game gets boring a month in, let alone 12.

Why can't someone steal all the good ideas from this game and just make a good game that works and makes sense and is fun?
Holy shit, they need to reduce the weight of logs and wood by at least 75%. There is no fun spending a whole day walking logs back and forth to your base.
>>2901690Game companies are run by a boardroom that says "zombies are so 2004"
>>2901690no one wants to make this game all over again, and the code is too spaghettified to steal.
>>2901692Bring rope (4 stack bundles weigh a lot less) and a van.Shove as many bundles into the back as you can, that should last you a decent while.
>>2901690it's not that simple. zomboid was a flash in the pan. You can't just recreate it so easily. The entire concept of a roguelite long term zombie survival game should not realistically have as many players as it does. A large part of the games success is multiplayer which is also a reason developement is so slow. If this was a single player only game it would have gotten much farther along with developement.
>>2901688If the devs had any soul they would reference actual natural disasters that occured in kentucky during the time period and implement them into the game.But they don't have any soul. The only thing they'll implement are animals that shit themselves to death when you look away, zombies that vanish when you look away, and bushes made of razor wire.
>>2901690AAA devs don't do zombies anymore (they prefer generic soulslike hack and slash games with lite-fantasy settings)And indies are busy making sidescroller pixel art games about depression.TIS struck gold in a septic tank and kept on going with it. The iterative process is slow but does result in interesting games.The issue is that compare it to Dwarf Fortress, another iterative game. One has creatures simulated down to their fucking motor-nerves and kidneys.The other has human beings willingly jump off staircases because they felt like a jog.

>>2901769Sure, then I have to use the fucking context menu of all things for what should be normal player control lmao.

>>2901725>If this was a single player only game it would have gotten much farther along with developement.It didn't get all that far in the decade before third party multiplayer drove them to implement it themselves. And while you could make the argument that implementing new things to be compatible with multiplayer adds work to them, what they've done since adding multiplayer support isn't any better than what they had done before. Multiplayer gave the game a second flash in the pan but it had long languished from its original flash in the pan. I snatched a pirated copy from Bitgamer when it was the new hotness and that site's refugees went to GazelleGames thirteen years ago.>You can't just recreate it so easilyThere is nothing better to give life to a new thing than fans of a disappointment looking for something that realizes its potential.This isn't comparable to making a WoW-killer that needs an outrageous amount of bespoke world design and writing. Or to making a Sims competitor that needs an outrageous amount of interactions and corresponding animations. And yet both of those examples have had loads of attempts. A competent programmer and designer is all that is needed for PZ done right.

What do I use to de/recompile the game files if I would prefer not to run the pop fix via zombiebuddy? I have used recaf to edit a minecraft mod.
it's so fucking cold outside...I regret wearing so little
>>2902180is this whore aware of the concept of covering her exposed body?
>>2902206don't need to when you never get hit :)
god it is SO fucking satisfying to make your first can reinforced long blunt weapon after using wrenches and shit for a solid week.>>2902211so you don't get cold, woman. jesus. girls really are cutest when they're retarded...
>>2902211Ah yes, simply dodge the cold.
>>2902206Are any?
>>2902214yes lol just parry the cold
>>2902217It's like falling, just parry the ground.
>>2897681After 7 days I finally looped around and got back to where I basically started. So now I think I'll pick a house in the rich zone to call my home and gather all of my loot there, hopefully that's enough space for the chopper to not kill me.However, as I completed my loop I found some pigs getting harassed by a horde of zombies! I saved them, but they were out of water for who knows how long! There has been no rain, and their trough was empty so I filled it up 20,000 ml. And then realized that it's my lot in life to care for these piggy wiggies. Water will be simple to come by but I'll need to find a good source of food for them too.
>>2902284Me and my piggy wiggies for reference
>>2902296Do Kentuckians really just have pig pens in their backyards.
>>2902296raising animals used to be very common yesthough i have only known people who reared chickens.
>>2897272>that picthe aura on this guy...
>>2902321YesBut what they don't have at home are guns and cigarettes
friendly reminder to turn off lungers until the targeting system is fixed
why are we still here?
>>2902139Yeah literally any java editor will do. Remember you just need to access the code and are then removing the new entry so its quite simple
>>2902139>What do I use to de/recompile the game files if I would prefer not to run the pop fix via zombiebuddy? I have used recaf to edit a minecraft mod.Literally just recaf, you'll probably have to unfuck some of the decompiled code since it occasionally fucks up the variable type assignment, but it works.
>>2902685the real reason to turn off lunging is because it's stupid shit aimed to preventing an exploitable method of fighting. it's part of a pattern with TIS: find something fun and emergent, and then nerf it. they love to nerf fun.if zombies can shamble around and i can make them trip on a fence, making it easier to kill them, i'm going to do that. and i am going to turn off the lunging because it makes zero sense a zombie that can barely move is going to crawl forward like some kind of Green Beret and STAGGER me from a prone position.
>>2902692trying to eek some fun out of a game made by incompetent eurocucks
>>2901890that's the type of shit i would do if it was the apocalypse
>>2902916wait what do you think an apocalypse would look likeyou would NOT be constantly fighting zombies all 24h of the day all 365 days of the week

>>2903525indeed. Imagine listening to muh discomfort moodlet
I genuinely have no idea. Is it impossible to open the trunk to a car without a key? Like step vans or trucks.
>>2903585You should be able to from inside the car. When you're sitting at the drivers seat you should see a button you can press to unlock it
woo boy. The lousville distillery offices are loaded in skillbooks
>>2903585Yes if the trunk is locked as well. Download animated vehicles btw because seeing the doors open is helpful anyway
>>2903600i don't like how the ki5 ones leave the trunk open on screen because i get scared stuff is going to fall out and I don't like driving with it like that.
>>2903605So close it anon?
>Enchanced Health Rework adds harvesting spiderwebs and honey out of the trees to make medicine>it also make wilderness survival bit easier because honey is a pretty good food sourceNice, i like when mods are like that and arent some stuck up faggoty tryhard obssesed with muh balance.
>>2903428Yes>>2903451Just wash yourself?I haven't taken a good look at the dudeweed mod yet, maybe if it's balanced and configurable enough I think vanilla outfits expanded conflicted with spongies? Tools of trade, sure.Lengthy discussion, sounds fun i guess.Not sure about the poses and I dont want a 235mb hairstyle mod that updates all the time. The make-up QOL mod is fine too.
Is an alcoholic character viable? Like aim for always being at least tipsy. In general with the amount of booze available but also getting some starting booze before you can hit a liquor store. Or maybe the start of the run is fighting to the liquor store to get that first drink.
>>2903675When you wash yourself it takes 2 seconds and then you have another brown shit-stain on yourself RIGHT after washing, it's stupid.
>>2903712A trait would be good for this Im sober irl so its somewhat refreshing to give my character a beer after a tough timePost yer bevs
I think I discovered an infinite food bug. Sweet potatoes don't seem to rot at all. They only go stale. You can put them into a bowl for salad and they become fresh and give happiness. I harvested these sweet potatoes 8 months ago and can still eat them. You won't gain weight is the only issue.

how the fuck do you even get started with blacksmithing or masonry
>Rosewood Fire Station is a designated "dark site" for Blackout Predators to sleep during the dayI see what you did there lol.
>>2904307masonry get a stone club and chisel and break large stones into small stonesblacksmithing make a primitive forge and primitive kiln, and do some early level recipes
>>2903662>it also make wilderness survival bit easier because honey is a pretty good food sourcemaking easy things even easier? who caressurviving in the wild is piece of cakethe problem is if you want to gain weight (thats why i always take overweight trait, gives lots of time to learn how to make a rod and grind fishing)
>>2904307Masonry you start at level 1 in the character screen to save your sanity. Otherwise you have to run around breaking large rocks with a maul or sledgehammer. Just do level 1 masonry, after that you gather stones and turn them into bricks all the way to level 10.Blacksmith is tedious. forge anything until you get to level 4 then forge hand scythes all the way until level 10.
thank you zomboid, very coolnow I crash every time I load this zone to something

oh well time for a progress reportworking on welding and mechanicsfound a cool bread bag
>figured id play bites only>almost 2 months in>canned baseball bat misses at point blank, shove misses at point blank>bitesfx.mp3I just can't do it anymore. I don't think Journal is a good solution either. This game has so many leaps in logic, I just can't into the basic premise. The greatest mistake they made was having it be a 1HK0 death system. Making scratches/lacerations having a chance is completely fucked too. This is the design of a game that's meant to be played in much shorter sessions than how zomboid works now. Infection off. The player is a Carrier. You have to die from zombies or wounds which is still very likely but never feels cheap (except for fence grabbers). Fuck the balance is so retarded.
I see recommendations to increase the memory allocation with mods up from the default 3gb. Is there additional overhead aside from that? Because this shit is reserving about 10gb on world load both with default memory setting and start 3g/max 6g, and vanilla except a recompiled java mod for the despawn fix.
>>2904541B42 melee targeting is worse than B41
>>2904541just cheat or use the they knew modyou dont even need to make it bites onlythere is more to the game than just dying over and over
>>2904559You know how it is... I did want to eventually move to a new save to swap around some mods. Namely removing most Ki5 vehicles because I like the standard ones. Do the filibuster rhymes cars only use standard parts? I can't deal with needing to make bespoke windshields for a humvee and shit.

>>2904541Skill issue
>>2904543It seems this is a linux-specific issue and java wants to reserve an unreasonable amount of extra memory. I hate java so much its unreal.
Thank you to the anon who told me about toothbrush shivs. Just shredded my way to level 3
>>2904658And glass shivs with ripped up leather or denim
>>2904470this is great advice thanks
Hello frens. Is it safe to change sandbox settings like agriculture growth times and power use mid game

>>2904736forgot to addthe cup recipe is the best recipe all around for grinding, even after leveling past 4you can craft whatever you need but if you want to grind, do cups only (or hand scythe if you only have primitive forge)

>>2904541it shouldn't be possible to be bitten by a zombie if you are wearing leather and/or armor.do these zombies have razor sharp teeth?
>>2904658told you what about them?stop gate keeping
>>2905133>gatekeepingYou wouldn't just google toothbrush shiv? Anyway, they are easy to mass craft and give 37.5 maintenence exp each on a skillbook. Also pick up broken glass, breaj every glass you find, combine with rags for glass shivs.Fishing is good even low level if you use rotten fish and steaks
People who complain about gatekeeping are the kind of people gatekeeping is for. The same kind of people who get bitten and then complain when the survivor camp's gate won't open for them.
>>2905088Closest right now is 149.102.156.205 (PVE)port =35700JOIN!!! Riverside. Earlier there was a group of whores holding people up.
>>2905112The idea is supposed to be gaps in the armor that can be bitten whether due to its construction or being partially torn away.
>>2905112titanium teeth folded 1000 timescuts through steel armor like butterplease understand
>>2905195Ah right and your character is a neanderthal who doesn't use his armored forearm to tank bitesVery realistic
Why does this one poopdickschizo keep insisting a zombie themed sims 1 offshoot with meta events such as being chased by jason vorhees is trying to be realistic
>>2905195Gaps in armor are exploited and passed through with sharp metal, not with human bites and scratches.
>>2905376Because he's a troll. He bitches about all the same shit on repeat ad nauseum to start arguments.
>>2905376That's literally what the developers use as an excuse whenever they nerf something or reject an idea that would only make the game better.
>Their "borderline obsessive" version of realism is specifically grounded in 1980s/1990s zombie cinema lore. The features are designed to realistically simulate how a normal human would struggle in a classic movie scenario—not to perfectly mimic real-world biology or modern infrastructure, per their AMA.
>>2905595>proceeds to make NPCs nonexistent, fences into survivor deathtraps, and lets zombies burn for hours without dying
>>2903052this shit isn't Vintage Story
>>2903256no it's the mythical ???DragonSlayer only the worthy may wield it, and to them it feels exactly like 0.6 (2.0 unequipped)you are not worthy
>>2904240can you stay awake indefinitely on coffee?
>>2905636Yes.My favorite is that microwaving a hot dog for too long creates a special House Fire that lasts 5ever and spreads in the player's direction. It's super useful for getting rid of hordes.
>>2904878I forgot how fuck awful roblox tier these basegame glasses look, can you add this? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3549794747These actually look good
>>2905696I dont want to answer that with yes. But 3 cups will refill your whole bar, and they give a noticeable notch to hunger too. For skillbook training or long excursions it seems peak. Unless they coded heart palpitations to death i think you could
>>2905853if no one has tried, i'll see if i can stockpile a ton of coffee and report results. no promises, i'm playing with reduced loot. haven't found a single bag.
>>2905751Gotta love when the dev's unrealistic malice towards the player is used against them
I think the premise of necroa is cool, creating zombies that change and become more dangerous as the run goes on, but it gets completely ruined by the airborne and bloodborn mortality. The ideal way to play therefore becomes to go deep innawoods where you can fish infinitely, boil water infinitely, can build a strong perimeter with furniture and fences and rarely have to deal with zombies. In general I think the way the game is designed around death as is, is bad. A better way would be for the zombie disease to not be fatal, and for it to be something the player can overcome like other illnesses, but the player becomes a zombie from any source of death that isn't burning to death (which would cremate the remains). I'm pretty sure this is how no mortality/everyone is infected works. Anyway, the zombie obviously has all your shit you had on you when you died, but killing it should also reward your character with all your prior characters held XP. Maybe the longer the zombie exists in the world, the more XP it slowly loses over time (similar to how not using player skills causes them to regress over time), this incentivizes the player to try and get to their corpse ASAP, while also punishing them for trying to do it unprepared. For example if you die in Louisville mall, recovering your body would take a good bit of planning and zombie leading.I know there are mods that kinda sorta do this, but they don't work the exact way I'd like.
>>2905877of course you can. I love coffee. I always stockpile that shit and keep a cup on me. I have to figure out how to stop getting so warm all the time cause it destroy my fatigue.
>>2906079I like skill journals b42, but I sort of preferred skill tokens b41. Basically killing your zombie or, lackthereof, returning to where you died gave you a skill token to pick up which returned all your skill xp. In multiplayer, other players could snatch it up instead, but also, you could sprint at them and push them on the ground and stomp their heads into mush to take their skill token, getting all their XP AND yours. It was really fun to play with. Skill Journals requires you to write your own shit down regularly.
>>2906079>>2906095speakan of necroa, my day 1 wasn't that bad. I found a filtrator, managed to get a working car, looted a wrecked ambulance (no antibiotics unfortunately but I got some other stuff and a gurney), got really lucky with three hazmat suit zombies which came with a little bit of ammo and a 1911 and m1aI also raided the echo creek farm for over 100 eggs. Anon was right, this place is fucking awesome. My home base is the gas station since it has a built in car port + ez access to fuel. All I need now is to find a generator to keep my freezer powered and to build a rain collector. The farm technically has a lot of water already in the animal pens, but to make it drinkable I'd need to get it all into boilable containers. Oh, speaking of, I did get some hydration packs too.
The game not having a 'respawn with skills intact' setting for singleplayer is total bullshit and proof of how fucking spiteful the devs are.>Oh haha you can set the game ANY way you like it! So you can't judge the game for any balance decisions because YOU are the balancer!I want to respawn with my skills intact, you know? The things which take longer to acquire than ANYTHING else ingame?>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT WOULD INTRUDE ON THE 'VISION' OF OUR GAME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

>>2905459We aren't talking about plate armor, numbnuts.
>>2906497Teeth and fingernails are not exactly great at slipping behind even denim clothes let alone the 'gaps' in leather armor. Which would be made of...Thinner leather or layered textile.
>>2906497It doesn't just apply to plate armor.
>>2906497try biting a leather jacketSee how well that goes for your teeth
The average kentuckian was an inbred mess who didn't know what a dentist or flossing was. Zombie bites should be way weaker than they are and half the zombies should have gummy bites that only cause bruising instead of piercing damage.
>>2906497Anon, are you wolverine? Get a pair of jeans, or a leather jacket. Grab them and go on and try to scratch them with your hands, or bite through it

>>2906580I accept your concession
>>2906575I shouldn't have to outright cheat to do what most games take for granted.
>>2906594>bites ALWAYS zero in on spots that have less armor. >Most common bite areas would be, neck, shoulder, and arms>high coverage everywhere>standing zombie bites you in the groinlol
>>2906627Standing zombies can't bite your groin, it's 99% hands, forearms and upper arms.
>>2906632...Anon more often than not you get bit in the dick from a standing zombie. It runs a calc on what you have vs the bite, and places it specifically in less armored spots because that's how the game deals with %s. Since groin has the less protection among armor most attacks will just end up landing there one way or the other from standing zombies, because the game is designed to exploit whatever you have.
>>2906633You absolutely don't get bitten in the groin by zombies since like B40 and shit lmao.Go ahead, get bitten by a zombie 100 times and count how many are groin injuries.
