'Dead boring abandonware game with literally nothing to do in it.';

'>>1156293
nothing game-breaking. just things like a couple of additional towns on the map, rainwater rinsing dirty clothes, snow melting as a water source, and additional traits. We have True Music but it doesn't work so I wouldn't really count it.';

'>>1156338
Maybe change the mod order, unless your server has that interior/camper mod. I believe that clashes somehow.';

'>>1156420
it's because we added it after we already launched the map, so the CDs don't spawn anywhere. so next wipe we'll have it working.';

'>>1156426
Well the cassettes should spawn in unexplored chunks. If you can't find them in the admin menu, they won't spawn for sure. You need 2 extra mods for it to work too. A song list mod and a framework mod alongside the true music mod.';

Luckily you can tweak loot spawn rates in this game. My biggest problem with that though is that I end up with way too many guns, food, ammo, building materials and shit like that and the game quickly becomes boring as I kill everything in my path and survival turns into hoarding.';

there's no military base, but the Knox Military Apartments has a potential gun case in every single closet meaning you can come away with a good amount of weapons and ammo, the screenshot is from just ONE of the four floors on vanilla sandbox loot settings.

having a few sprinters mixed in means you're always at risk, even if you load up on guns and ammo and the No Mo Culling seems to fix the desync issues regarding sprinters (or at least, it did on another server I played on).

Its so fucking rough having to fight these bastards and I haven't lived longer than a few days sitting in my house, reading and watching TV while exercising. They always hear me, and end up smashing through the windows at mach speed to come eat my ass.

Loot runs are absurdly hard as well. Even when I am equipped with a long weapon and make it over the initial hump I still can't seem to do much. IMO, it seems that its meant more for multiplayer as compared to single player just due to how difficult it is.';

doesn't answer the curbstomping issue but try (partial) sprinters? definitely slows the pace of zombie killing, preventing you from just walking past everything for free.

>how many ww2 guns do you see today?
This game is set in 1993, and when I was growing up, you could literally buy WW2 battle rifles like garands and SKS's for a hundred bucks or two. There were literally hundreds of them at every gunshow in my town that my dad would take me to, and I grew up in the fucking aughts.
people giving their antiques to the state for some pocket change so that the government can destroy them is a relatively new phenomenon. Even so I can drive down to any pawn shop in the town I live at now and see a few dozen WW2 era firearms for sale at any given time, they're just substantially more expensive than they used to be.
For example just the other day I was somewhat interested in a beat to shit SKS, but the shop wanted 1200$ for it and the lowest I could get him to go was 900$. Not fucking worth it.
So tl;dr yes, Project Zomboid SHOULD have way more WW2 and Cold War era firearms.';

'>>1182720
Would be very KINOge
>>1183016
Yeah
there was also the fact that AK's were exempted from the NFA due to their age, so all you needed was a tax stamp (or a semi-auto conversion, which many imports were) vs the then brand new and unproven polymer Armalite pattern. That's the real reason there was an "obsession" with wood furnished firearms at the time; its because they contained no polymer parts, only metal and wood, and were therefore seen as being more reliable. It's the same reason fudds of the day preferred 1911's or some brands of revolvers to glocks (in addition to the magazine ban for handguns that was implemented at the time requiring you to serve law enforcement and have a LOICENSE for high capacity mags)
all of these things and more contributed to the ludicrous cost of AR's, and the cheap ease of access to AK's, SKS's, and other milsurps and imports like the M1, or the lee enfield';

'>>1184433
I've decided whether or not I'll abandon the game is entirely dependent on whether or not they fuck up the animal husbandry in b42.
It opens a lot of avenues to change up how you play. As is, there's virtually no value in playing project zomboid past a week or two in game, tops.

>Right now, one virtual animal is a group of animals that’s been defined in a lua file. Our current group, for example, consists of one buck, several doe and some fawns. Though clearly once they are fully implemented the variation will be greater, and also dependent on stuff like the time of year.
>Once players get close to this coded ‘virtual animal’ these deer will then spawn into the world as real animals – and once you retreat away they’ll revert to their virtual status so the game can take over their movement and activities once more. If the group has become separated meanwhile, they’ll team back up again when their paths next cross.
>In their virtual form the animals will move over the map, doing potential set activities at set different places. They are timetabled to have several ‘sleeping’ and ‘eating’ periods – currently sleeping for a period of half an hour at some point between 12pm and 4pm, eating at some point between 5am and 7am, and eating again for an hour at some point before 4pm and 6pm.
so a little bit of the 'metagame' stuff is coming in 42, hopefully modders can use it for persistent npcs, would be awesome to send out a npc to loot something a town over and be able to talk to him on a walkietalkie at home base';

'>>1184770
Yeah, would be dope
The main problem with superb survivors that PZNS "sort of" addressed was how to get the NPC's working as persistent entities, the game couldn't remove them ever, even after they'd died. So the game would eventually just become unplayable from the compound script spam.
PZNS has its own problems though; mainly in how fuckin' dumb the AI is, and how little it can do; all the AI it spawns just kind of stands around and either dies or despawns and rarely wanders around a little bit. Hopefully with the new AI for the animals as a basis we can see some more sophisticated behavior from NPC mods going forward.';

The worst thing about the game currently is that there is precisely 0 reason to interact with any of it unless you make canned food extremely rare and just decide you're not going to make stews/soups to clean rotten food.
Fishing and animal husbandry would be fantastic but it needs to go hand in hand with fixing the food problem of PZ, and the easiest way to do that is to make rotten food unfixable. That way the first long term goal for players should be figuring out renewable food and water while the electricity is still on. Expanded canning mechanics too.';

nope. they are simplistic and downright laughable. there arent even any diseases in this game. Green Hell mogs it and even in that game, the survival mechanics are rather basic but still better than zomboid. the update does nothing to solve zomboids issue of the gameworld being, i dont want to say hard because it gives people the wrong impression that the game needs to be hard to be interesting, it doesnt. zomboid is still boring once you see everything the game has to offer within two weeks. more recipes does nothing for the average player.

no the fuck i dont. great. 3 years for this update and now i gotta wait for all the mods on the workshop to update.

farm animals. which is yes, more green bar fill up literally.
>more survival mechanics
which ones? the reworked farming which is actually one of the few good things about this update but which ones? are they reworking diseases? reworking the nutritional system? weather systems? the weather effects on the player character? no?

ok which survival mechanics are they working on that will actually be interesting to the player is a better question. because if its some bullshit about how i can now construct a bow or jar pickles then you can fuck off.
>even though the only real "problem"
go play pvp and tell me the only problem with combat is that melee is underpowered. you dumbass. can you imagine getting NPCs and you have no way of defending yourself or dodging, no punching, no grappling, only shoving and stunlocking? i cant target legs or the arm or the eyes or hands or neck, nope just gotta stand there and hit each other hoping for a crit. shooting is even worse, you have to download a mod that makes it not complete shit.

not to mention things like sneaking being left in a sorry state, but we can now craft wooden spoons! great survival mechanics! awesome stuff.

you sound like the devs who keep repeating the lie that somehow making clay bricks solves the issue after the early game. remember, we got deer horde migration before zombie horde migration. the good thing about the update is that they are upgrading their engine to allow for more performance improvements and basements. still doesnt solve the fact that we are gonna watch green bar fill up but with animals!';

/vm/ is a slow board so it's naturally hard to get a stable playerbase going here. This is especially true with a game like Project Zomboid, where 90% of the people still playing are veterans who have very strong and diverse opinions on mods and server settings and quickly get bored with a lot of servers because they have gone through nearly all content the game and most popular mods have to offer. See >>1204477

For a 4chan server to maintain a stable playerbase we will need actual content. B42 is the only way to get an active 4chan server going without doing shit like making the server public like that one Reddit tranny did, at that point it's not a 4chan server anymore. So yeah people like >>1204517 are completely correct.

'>>1225362
NTA but a block button would not solve anything in zomboid. In its place you have the shove command, which is arguably more useful with zomboid's combat system. Having light and heavy attacks would also be pointless without a more complex damage formula, for zombies particularly; which only exists in as far as being able to strike the head of a downed zombie for significantly more damage, and for players you randomly deal damage to different body parts, removing overall HP pool and inflicting status conditions.
Being able to strike more quickly but do less damage is pointless in such a system, which is way spears are currently the best weapon, possessing a relatively likely instant kill against zombies while having long reach and high attack speed.
How would you dodge being pinned down and mauled by a group of zombies? Or block? But what you can do is shove them down without letting them bite you, if your character is specced into Strength and Fitness for power and stamina.
Blocking, dodging, and light/heavy attacks would solve precisely 0 of the core gameplay loop issues zomboid has.';

>why cannot i, armed with a baseball bat, shove away two zombies that are right beside each other?

you can, but the game performs a formula check that factors in STR and fitness vs the strength of zombies and number of zombies you're trying to run through. if you win the dice roll you automatically knock them back or down by sprinting into them. most multiplayer servers don't let you do this easily though because they set zombie strength high
>why is there a magical delay after each swing?
what the fuck are you talking about? the only two things i can think of this could be mentioning would either be latency, which is a shit net issue, or you - again - being a STR and FITlet who is trying to swing his baseball bat while in heavy encumbrance and/or exhaustion status.';

attack delay after swinging a weapon. have you ever been in a fight? IRL, people do not punch, wait a full second, then punch again
they just fucking swing. honestly surprised this also isnt a green bar situation';

'>>1227048
A dash would allow for mobility within the combat stance, and adds depth to both offensive and defensive movement.
In PvE, it allows you to peek a corner quick if you want, instead of only just slow walking around corners. It also allows you to reposition yourself mid-fight in a way that is faster than the current slow walk, but not as drastic as the full on shift-run retreat.
But where I think it would help most is PvP. Closing the distance on another player during a fight is very 1-dimensional at the moment. They might run around each other, then at some point decide to run towards each other and then just swing away.
There's no way to punished attacks that miss. Or to surprise them opponent with a dash + attack. Or to dodge an attack you know is coming. Once you're in stance, you're locked into that slow walk and that's it. It's very limiting.
You can even put in PZ-realism-mechanics to it like if the player dashes over a corpse, there is a stumble chance. Or if they string together too many in row, it increases the stumble chance.
I just really feel it would open up so many possibilities in combat. The combat stance needs a mobility option and dash makes so much sense.';

'>>1225572
>he also says zombie combat games which somewhat implies fighting zombies
zombie games are famous for having humans to fight too though. or some sort of humanoid monster that has special attacks other than scratching and biting.
>Blocking, dodging, and light/heavy attacks would solve precisely 0 of the core gameplay loop issues zomboid has.
but the problems are really shown when fighting other players in PVP. there is no way to defend yourself or even choose what part to attack. you just run around trying to stumble each other or awkwardly hit and run. when NPCs drop, and you cant block or dodge it will absolutely become a problem. the combat is barely passing right now because zombies cant fight back with weapons. imagine wanting to engage in combat with a human and your only option is to stand there like a retard trading swings hoping you roll a crit. its a problem now that needs to be solved.';

I already explained to you how it works. You are complaining about a mechanic you have no idea how to work while most probably having a dogshit character build
>attack delay after swinging a weapon.
weapon swing speed is influenced by both weapon type and your current stamina level, if your attack speed with a light weapon is so slow you are either trying to fight while exhausted or over encumbered, which means you are retarded';

'>>1227241
You can already do most of these things unless you are saying you should be able to dash while in attack stance. Which is fucking retarded and defeats the point of what little balance zomboid's combat currently has. If you want to reposition then have a high fitness stat and release the right mouse button while holding shift and the direction you want to dash, your character instantly breaks out into a dash to reposition.';

I see this said all the time in defense of PZ yet I don't understand how you can just casually ignore how comedically easy it is to survive. Survival games universally all have ways to stop or hamper you from surviving. The only things that hamper survival in zomboid are stairs or glitches. Food is plentiful, zombies are extremely weak even in hordes, setting up a base is comically easy. They could easily solve this by making urban areas not be full of supplies since everyone else got to it first, but for some reason the player is treated as the only survivor loot wise. The game doesn't even have the most basic text intro to explain it:
>character got airborne version and was sick
>wakes up days later
Fucking pay me lemmy

The only times I've died where it felt natural was when first learning how the game worked. Every single other time I always get so bored I just quit or kms. I can confidently say fucking Minecraft of all things is more difficult.

I genuinely believe the only reason this game is successful is because its so easy to get into and doesn't take a grater to your eyes compared to other games in this field.';

'Hey kings, I'm looking for two things.
A mod that makes sure that things taken apart like furniture, actually respawn over time.
And a mod that makes it possible to earn and lose every basegame trait. The best I can find is Evolving Traits World and it's a shitload of bloat just to get rid of his custom traits.
I'd love suggestions for this.';

>things taken apart like furniture, actually respawn over time
i've never seen a mod like this, but if you're after more opportunities to grind metalworking i can recommend 'bulk metal' and 'the workshop'
>possible to earn and lose every basegame trait
this one lets you learn a bunch via magazines

but i dunno about losing them. dynamic traits maybe? i never used it myself';

It's more that I don't want to turn my world empty.
But to be fair, I don't even understand all of the game yet since I only started a few days ago.
I'd also like to know what happens in singleplayer if I start dumping stuff in a building and don't visit it in a while. Will stuff despawn ? Will stuff spawn over it if I used the original containers ?
Thanks for the magazine mod by the way, I was checking out an alternative of Dynamic Traits but it came with a few non-vanilla traits as well and no mod config options.';

And you are already asking for furniture to respawn for some imaginary reason of "the world will be empty"
You will get bored of the game long before the world is empty.';

Both controlled by your world settings I believe. Loot respawn is off by default but I forgot about loot despawn';

It's not entirely about the world being empty, I phrased that wrong entirely. It's more about me making it ugly.';

that's completely irrelevant, you'll never have to revisit the houses you looted and there are probably 500 if not more of them on the whole map

I have personally been playing in publics, going through their little events grinding and helping noobs, its relaxing and fun. especially since bloat is not too much of an issue when you are looking for something new to grind. gave up trying to host or get something going, Its really not soo bad if you can interact with others like a normal person, but if your personality is nigger nigger nigger. You are in for a bad time.';

'>>1182294
I think the thing holding them back is their insistence on a "perfect" NPC release. They could have added simple NPCs that spawn in and despawn when you leave their site as a placeholder but they want living breathing NPCs that exist in the world. In reality most players just want another enemy to fight. I'd take generic bandits at this point.';

the only things holding this game back are the absolute garbage engine and lemmy's disastrous project management skills';

They are embarrassed by modders on a regular basis. They knew that if they released basic NPCs, modders would have fully fleshed out NPC mods within a year which would make people say "hey how did a modder get this working so quick"';

B42 was just supposed to be a short, intermediate update before they started work on B43.';

'>>1263864
It's a short update time compared to the animation update that took like 5 years';

'i think the pace of the game update are okay since it gives modders time to flourish while preparing for next update even though it took fucking centuries, each update are at least meaningful changes and additions. unlike mojangfag that shit on their own updates while also using java like a retard (and their bedrock version also a pile of crap)';

'>>1263940
>i think the pace of the game update are okay
It's not fucking okay to release an update every three years for an early access title that still feels blatantly unfinished holy shit
>but muh mods
Mods can't fix this fucking game on a fundamental level, they can put bandaids on everything deemed insufficient but they cannot fix them, only the devs can and they fucking won't because larping as cavemen is more important to them than adding anything fucking meaningful to the extremely basic gameplay loop that everyone gets bored of, not to mention that you can say bye bye to all the mods for b41 as none will be compatible with b42
>unlike mojangfag
Minecraft is a finished game you fucking twat, all updates mojang is releasing now are just a bonus, they are not expected to keep working on additions to the game and I sincerely believe most people would accept them stopping working on it since their new features have been very lackluster and divisive

It's genuinely embarrassing to see people like you attempting these mental gymnastics to delude yourself that this sort of development is in any way acceptable, even solo developers can shit out content at a faster pace than these entitled cunts, and with less whining on reddit anytime someone dares to criticize something';

What's the point of not revisiting old places ?
If I enjoy the way a neighborhood looks, I want to go back there after some time and I can pretend there was something going on while I was away when I shuffle around looking for loot again.';

I didn't think they'd keep magazines with all the new recipes, but I suppose im okay with it. Im very glad that generator usage is getting moved from a magazine to electrical 3 instead, always found that kinda stupid
I wonder if theyll remove the welding recipes for non-weapons too, seems weird that carpenters know every recipe but welders don't and it seems like they want to remove annoying "bottlenecks" from the blog';

I will never understand how retards like you exist who can somehow comprehend how to mod games, yet fail to comprehend that even the slightest of updates breaks almost every single mod. Not to mention all those modders have probably moved on since its been years at this point.';

remember when this update was supposed to be "quick" and focused on fleshing out existing mechanics? i remember. instead we get bloated crafting thats going to take 3-4 years to finish up. and so many areas of the game will still be left untouched and unfinished, areas more important than sims medieval.';
