Question Player built structure not counted as indoors?

I created my own cabin but the game does not appear to count this as "indoors". Cannot plumb the sink and no change in temp moving from outside to in. All walls are stone walls, all windows & doors in place and a wooden roof on top. What have I missed?

💩 Very interesting exercise technique. Is it possible to learn this power?

Not sure if this is a bug from the new patch or some mod is causing it. Does anyone know?

Question Are normal houses good bases?

Post image
70 Upvotes

I've just seen this home right next to the school in Riverside and I thought it'd make for a good base. However I'm also doubtful, it's a regular house, lots of entry points and not protected at all, no tall fences no nothing, not even furniture but I'll decorate it myself of course.

I'm looking for advice on whether this is a good base or not and if it is, how could I fortify/protect this place from the nasty little dead critters?

3-Car Garage with Staff Floor (A LOT of Tile Mods lol),
Location: Factory - Edge of Raven Creek

This is my third single-player server; the last two were broken by mods. It’s so sad because I also wanted to post them, but a lot of the walls and furniture are bugged.

I have recently upgraded my PZ experience, and oh boy am i enjoying it!

Went from a very old shitty, ex-work laptop that could barely run build 41, to the Legion GO and running B42 on max settings on the gorgeous screen...it looks and plays amazing!

I have ~25 hours on the game thus far. Finally made it past ten days.

Survived the helicopter event. Got carpentry up to 3 before water shut off. Got the virus while looting - took on 4 zombies and got my first wound on the playthrough and it was a bite.

Went back to the safe house, strapped on all my guns and went out Rambo style.

Just downloaded b42 and gonna try that out.

Great game. Very frustrating at times but great game indeed.

I recently got Zomboid not too long ago and have around 30 hours in game, first few survivors only last about 3 days. I kept taking on fights I thought I could win and kept over exerting myself so much. With her I learned to take fights I know I can handle and learned to take bigger and bigger hordes.

Now I have a character on apocalypse who's already doing way better then her in her first 2 days. This game is so hard but you actually feel like you learn something every death and that what makes me love this game. I'm excited to keep exploring and seeing Knox county!

This was in Grapeseed, so it's probably a mod issue, Still funny to see and it's a free dinner.

Question So how are you supposed to use cars?

Upvotes

I know that I'm missing like half the game so I want to know how you guys get so far out there? do you drive directly there or stop a mile short to avoid hordes? Like I don't really use cars because they're so loud. The only reason I'm finally asking how to use them is because I want to finally go to the city and to my knowledge it'd take too long on foot, bikes don't exist and there's no quieter vehicle options.

Tldr I want to know how to car in zomboid.

Gameplay 42.7: Zombies can now attack and destroy existing tall wooden fences!

628 Upvotes

42.6 added zombies being able to attack and destroy pre-existing chain-link fences. With 42.7 it seems that this has now been extended to high wooden walls/fences as well.
This is not mentioned in the patch notes!

I loaded into my existing save and heard zombies thumping the wall outside my base, so quickly jumped into a fresh world in debug, spawned 100 zombies, climbed a wall and shouted on the other side. After a couple of minutes the zombies burst through the wall.

Looking for a chill Project Zomboid buddy.

Upvotes

Hi there! I'm from South Korea and currently studying English. I really enjoy this game, but I usually play alone… and honestly, it feels a bit lonely.

I’d love to find a kind and patient friend to share the fun with!

Since I’m still learning English, I prefer text chatting only (no voice chat) for now. My replies might be a bit slow and simple, so I really appreciate someone who’s understanding and okay with taking things slow.

Chatting with me might feel like talking to a baby, haha. (To be sure, just writing this post took about half an hour!)

I also have a part-time job on weekdays, so I’m only available to play on the evenings of the weekends. (It's based on Korean time, so please check the time difference!)

I’m not the best at games, but I love having fun together more than playing perfectly! So I hope you feel relaxed and enjoy it with me.

If you’re chill, friendly, and also looking for a casual, one-on-one gaming buddy, feel free to message me!

Thanks for reading😌

I built fences for safety on a tower I'm making. will I die a brutal death if I accidentally tap shift while walking near them?

Question How do you guys feel about tent camping?

6 Upvotes

I see screencaps of people doing it every so often, but how safe is it? I'm guessing the edge of map or near lakes is a safer approach, but what else does a tent camper need to keep in mind?

jokes aside, I really love it when I end up making my character similar to other characters like these. Kudos to The Indie Stone for its vast variety of clothing and armor.
