Refusal by the devs to do what needs to be done: Spend the time to do widespread refactoring, bugfixing and optimization.

It's their own fault the code base is so unwieldy.

Why didn't anyone tell me cartons of nails existed

>>3181939
Because they're so rare that they functionally don't exist.

>>3181946
many such cases

My favourite genre of zomboid bug is when they forgot to set the loot table of a container to something else from the default so you end up with counters in a firing range having office supplies inside or every crate in a town just having boards inside it or a school/hospital/generic store having tons of guns and ammo because they wanted to use the gun cabinet sprite

>>3181939
you can make them yourself with 10 boxes of nails.

>cant use trash bags/shopping bags/whatever other container to store sand/gravel/clay, only sacks
>cant use metal barrels to store water (not sure when this changed i could have sworn you used to be able to use the barrels in LV checkpoint)
this upsets me more than it should

>>3182170
You used to be able to use metal barrels to collect water, Lemmy removed that ability for some fucking reason.
>Can't collect clay/sand/dirt/fertilizer in buckets
Why the fuck does TIS think that only a classic farmer sack can collect solid matter? You should be able to put clay in bowls, buckets, pots, backpacks, etc.

alright, I get it. Short blades suck and leveling them is pain. I guess I'll just always be stuck with blunt weapons until I can get blacksmithing up and make "endgame" long blades.
I get it, I get why they have low durability, and why they have shit XP gain. Still, even with 10x short blade experience its an almost unbearable process of weapon swapping to downed enemies for higher xp rates. Shit might as well be an osrs skill.
Really dissapointing.
I want to be a fisherMAN this time. Gonna keep starting brandenburg I guess, not that it's a very nice place to spawn in at.

>>3182197
Lemmy has a hardon for nerfing bladed weapons, presumably because some of his relatives got stabbed by 'urban yoofs'.

knife and spearGODS broke lemmy

>>3182204
Spears are still okay. Decent crit rate and instagib critical damage multipliers for the garden fork and fire hardened spear only.
Any of the other spears suck ass though as they don't get the busted values.

>>3182197
Im honestly dissapointed how weak they are. Getting stuck in a long ass stab animation where you are vulnerable to other zombies and having pathetic range already felt like a good tradeoff for having best 1v1 capability. Dont really understand why they felt the need to make them even weaker to the point where other weapon types beat them in their own niche.

I always thought long blunt was the best weapon type, so nerfing other weapon types like spears and blades seemed weird to me.

>>3182253
Axes and some of the long blades were decent, havent tried using them since sharpness update though

>>3182253
Axes were tied with long blunt in B41 due to Axeman buffing axes to pretty ridiculous swing speeds.
B42 nerfed axes with an arbitrary 20% speed nerf for no reason, and added the sharpness mechanic to them which cripples their crit rate.
Leaving the only top tier weapon class being long/short blunt.

>>3182256
Sharpness doesnt matter much for swords because they already deal big damage

>>3182108

>>3182214
they are totally useable once you have an infinite supply of knives and maint level 10 short blade 4+ lol

>>3182307
at that point just use guns.

>>3182197
You don't have to level up short blades because they go on your belt to skull stab one shot unaware zombies and that's it.

>>3182307
>They're usable once you've already cleared an entire town of zombies and have ripped all the knives out of them and the kitchens
Or...Just use long blunt weapons which you can build from fucking tree branches?

>>3182307
You can craft knives and shivs. They last long enough with high maintenance

Cleared echo creek gunstore for the first time, got about same amount of guns and ammo as i would get from LV checkpoint + gunstores combined including like 6 M16s. Zombie amount was roughly comparable to LV checkpoint although RNG might have played a part in both loot and zombie amount. Not as much military apparel, attachments or bags though although i did find one single big hiking bag.

>>3182380
It's easier to loot a military backpack from that store south-west of fallas or just drive to checkpoint and bait a random army zombie with one.

>>3182170
>cant use metal barrels to store water (not sure when this changed i could have sworn you used to be able to use the barrels in LV checkpoint)

Using knives on zombies is a fucking stupid idea.
You want to keep your distance from zombies, at LEAST something as long as a bat/sword.
Ideally more like a polearm like a halberd or spear.
Short blade being fucking garbage ingame is one of the few realism aspects I am not too bothered by.

>>3184776
Knives and short swords would be the best since they don't tire you out and you can attack quickly.

>>3184785
>Yes, get closer to the monster that doesn't tire, feel pain, and doesn't feel fear
Great idea.

>>3184776

>>3184900
Cleaver used to be short blade yeah.
They should shitcan long/short and just make 'blade/blunt/axe' (axe is only separate because it's truly a bit different to use)

Thats retarded though. They still always hit, but now you have dud bullets. It may as well be a proper hit/miss chance system but they do this convoluted bullshit again

>>3186579
Did you play since the start of B42?
Originally the game had a 'chance to hit' system.
One small issue? Outside of the 4 tile range 'point blank' bonus, your hit rate is basically fucking nothing due to there being about 10 modifiers to reduce accuracy and only 1-2 modifiers to increase accuracy.
So people could dump entire magazines at a zombie 6 tiles away and hit thin air. It looked RETARDED as if our characters had Parkinson's or something.
So they changed to a 'chance to damage' system where every shot is a 'hit' but only 'actual' hits cause damage.
But this caused much the same issue, you can dump 30 rounds of 9mm into a zombie's head and it'll keep getting back up every single fucking time.
So they 'fixed' this issue by introducing a bug where 100% of hits always did damage. But THAT caused an issue where only 'actual' hits would give XP, while otherwise you could kill a thousand zombies and not gain a single XP.
So they fixed the 100% accuracy bug and we're back to stage 2 of B42's gun system retardation.

>I didnt
You're lucky then, B42 has been a fucking disaster.
At launch, muscle fatigue was so bad, that the meta weapon was to pick up stones from the ground and use them as short blunt weapons due to how lightweight they are.

They should just use Build 41's aiming system. Aiming skill becomes relevant, you know who's getting hit, etc.

>>3187246
B41 was literally just long-range melee weapons disguised as guns.
What they 'should' do is actually do proper fucking raycasts from our character's gun so guns aren't magic wands.
You can shoot through your own body if you shoot fast enough. You can fire shots to the side of zombies but not hit the ones beside them, etc.
It's fucking baffling, Doom from 1995 had better hit detection than this piece of shit.
Fucking TRESPASSER had better hit detection.

>>3187291
monkey's paw curls
we now have raycast bullets but they use the same logic as line of sight

>>3184785
Push the zombies down. Knives are a one hit kill on prone zombies via headstab.

>>3186600
The B41 aiming wasn't actually bad because 90% of how effective you aim was, was how high your aiming skill was. The problem was that there weren't good ways to start with much Aiming even if you built around it and guns were loud as SHIT and zombies respawned by default, meaning most people simply wouldn't use their guns unless they absolutely had to, which meant their aiming skill never got much XP, which in turn meant their aiming skill was sub-5 basically at all times and their hitrate was therefore trash outside of ~5 tiles or so.
All LEMMEH had to do to fix this:
>Make guns quieter (they did do this) so you dont feel like the game will rape you to death for using them
>Aiming skill books (they did do this) so you get higher aim in a reasonable amount of time
>More ways to get aiming XP, such as drilling or shooting clay pigeons or targets or something (mods do this, not in the game yet)
>Ways to start with more Aiming via occupation and traits (they did do this)
....yet they completely retooled the whole aiming system in such a way none of those changes really mattered, so the guns still feel like shit to use.

i actually liked loud guns
they should have kept 100% accuracy though and just make skill affect spread and damage (no rubber bullets though thats stupid)

Seriously. The least they could do here is not ship a stable branch patch that breaks so many basic game mechanics. The point of unstable is to ensure that doesn't happen. How do they fuck that up? Do they just not do their own QA?

>Foul mysterious smell weeks before zombies showed up

No. It's referencing different Zombie movies and how the zombies would come about in them so that the player can fill in the blanks in their head about which one is the "real" deal. Its also why there's so many other conspiratorial angles that fit in with the same premise, like the shit with Spiffo's meat.

>>3190416
The devs have an obvious 'what actually happened' lore, they're just pretentious retards and won't state it.
The lab is very very VERY obviously the source of it all.
