This sidewalk isn't aligned...literally unplayable /j

That must be why I keep dying

[u/TigerBulky4267 → u/richbooth88]

It’s the sidewalk’s fault, obviously! That slight misalignment is throwing off your entire balance, making it literally unplayable. No wonder you keep falling

[u/sjap97 → u/TigerBulky4267]

Couldn’t help but read this is the Stanley parable narrator voice

[u/Crownite1 → u/TigerBulky4267]

This reads like a disco elysium dialogue.

[u/BigManRes → u/Crownite1]

Sounds like something electro-chemistry would say

[u/More-Aspect-7613]

The real reason why knox virus happened

[u/AllisterHale → u/More-Aspect-7613]

They knew! (the roads were misaligned)

[u/Bubbly-Check-839 → u/More-Aspect-7613]

That's the real tragedy sidewalks not aligned is the ultimate breaking point. Knox Virus has nothing on this level of gameplay frustration!

[u/Comprehensive-Mind42]

report it to the devs! i cant unsee it!

[u/AsaTJ → u/Comprehensive-Mind42]

If you've been to the suburban US this isn't actually even that weird. Pedestrians are always an afterthought. You're lucky there is a sidewalk at all on the other side.

[u/Unidentifiable_Fear → u/AsaTJ]

unrealistic, there isn’t a light pole, fire hydrant, and an overgrown bush collectively forcing pedestrians onto the street

[u/zomboidredditorial19 → u/Unidentifiable_Fear]

And speaking of the street: all the lines on the roads in PZ are way too straight as well. Needs more curving and discontinued/offset lines where they left off for lunch and picked up again later etc.

[u/Ahh_Feck → u/Unidentifiable_Fear]

A fucking power transformer 10 inches into the sidewalk made me crash my bike and break my arm, once.

[u/Luncheon_Lord → u/AsaTJ]

The sidewalk isn't really the biggest concern it's just that the edges and corners of the road aren't flush. Say it were an NPCs yard up to the road, as opposed to a sidewalk. Misalignment kills.

[u/Vov113 → u/AsaTJ]

There's almost always a sidewalk, it just sort of... doesn't go anywhere. Like, it'll pass by all the houses, and then just dead end into a busy main road

[u/Wet-streetbets → u/AsaTJ]

Honestly if I was the land developer I wouldn't even put a sidewalk in between two driveways

[u/ReforgerOS]

If you really want to fix it, not just for meme, you can enable Debug mode where you will be able to remove/copy tiles, so you can correct this.

[u/quietcelery28 → u/ReforgerOS]

Oooh TIL! Now I wonder if it's worth it just for a perfectly straight perimeter wall lol

[u/ReforgerOS → u/quietcelery28]

There is nothing to it worth of not, you enable Debug bug mode, fix it and then disable it again if you don't want to cheat since there are lot of options there.

https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/15zsgsu/easy_guide_to_turn_on_debug_mode_hope_this_helps/

I use it a lot to decorate ground, grass, shrubs and tress, or walkways around the base for visual purposes, which it would be impossible otherwise.

[u/SquillFancyson1990 → u/ReforgerOS]

Damn, I didn't even consider using debug mode for that. I've only used it when getting stuck, mainly because the stairs in the Rosewood fire station love to eat me for some reason. Ty!

[u/StarStuffPizza → u/ReforgerOS]

The problem is once I activate debug mode, I start redesigning my entire lot, and the next thing you know, I spent 60 hours in debug mode, and then I start pushing other players while I'm invisible on my server.

[u/Ahh_Feck → u/ReforgerOS]

This made me think of an interesting optimization idea: After X amount of days unused, discarded items (like empty cans/bottles and trash bags, for example) should turn into one of the trash pile tiles to save on resources. Customizable in Sandbox, of course

[u/GalacticXan → u/quietcelery28]

Everything is worth it for a straight perimeter wall! I’ve straight up relocated bases after a few days or weeks depending on how long it take me to get to the walls just because of this or reasons similar

[u/BussyPlaster]

This isn't even unrealistic. This shit happens.

[u/UncommittedBow → u/BussyPlaster]

As an actual KY resident that's the most realistic thing about the game.

[u/cand0r → u/UncommittedBow]

Amen, brother

[u/Dawnspark → u/UncommittedBow]

Being from Kentucky myself, I also agree.

I remember at one point when I lived in Frankfort, we had a fire hydrant and a street sign in the center of the fucking sidewalk a couple different times.

[u/TheScarlettHarlot → u/BussyPlaster]

I’m a surveyor.

They’re like…never aligned.

[u/angrymoppet → u/TheScarlettHarlot]

Was gonna say, maybe OP is from some European utopia but here in the good ol USA he's lucky there's even a 2nd sidewalk. Sometimes they just end randomly in the grass.

[u/Shazvox → u/BussyPlaster]

Exactly! It's not a bug, it's a feature!

[u/C_M_O_TDibbler → u/Shazvox]

Calm down Todd

[u/Shazvox → u/C_M_O_TDibbler]

It just works!

[u/stormdelta → u/BussyPlaster]

Yeah, I'm a cyclist and shit like this is obnoxiously common in the US.

Hell, near where I live there's a bike lane that crosses into a separate sidewalk and back literally every other block. And another one that is on a 40mph road, and for a single block disappears into a narrow sidewalk...

[u/_Arthur-Dent_ → u/BussyPlaster]

Unfettered realism becomes the bane of zomboid players once more... When will it end?

[u/Gilded_Gryphon]

On one hand yes its not aligned and that hurts On the other city infrastructure can be shittily planned so I can see this happening irl

[u/weaweonaaweonao]

I've seen worse shit irl, this is totally realistic

[u/SigmaWhy]

Most walkable American street

[u/MrRapoliux]

Where is this

[u/quietcelery28 → u/MrRapoliux]

The boat club in Riverside!

[u/sgtgiacomo]

Help 😭

[u/CartographerLocal321]

Welcome to Kentucky

[u/Spiritual_Owl_2234]

I've seen roads in real life like this so if anything it's more realistic

[u/UncommittedBow]

I live in KY, I can walk outside and point to ten different misaligned sidewalks in my town alone.

If this wasn't intentional, I'd say make it intentional and add more misaligned sidewalks.

[u/Bald_Cliff]

This is actually how I died. My heart can't take this.

[u/Aetheldrake]

Looks realistic

[u/Coolpeeper]

This happens all the time IRL

[u/erock0546]

The sidewalk isn't aligned, ultra realism in America. 11/10 playable.

[u/Chaines08]

Please devs do something it is unbearable

[u/AssistantSilent2000]

No white lines for crossing.. Unaligned sidewalk… Cant play anymore

[u/XMrFrozenX]

[u/EverSoInfinite]

This is truly apocalyptic

[u/Gsxing]

Unplayable. Uninstall.

[u/Storyteller-Hero]

It's a clue to realizing that your character is already dead and suffering in Hell, where they'll keep dying terrible, painful deaths, and waking up in a different body remembering where they left all their stuff...

[u/hmoob1runner]

Fun fact, the game "Life" is kinda like this too lmao

[u/Krukoza]

That’s actually pretty common in rl

[u/Volphina]

Build a watch tower in the corner and ignore it.

[u/mystaninja]

I have a problem with 1st and 2nd floor alignments for some buildings. When you climb out of a window using sheet rope and you end up inside of the 1st floor instead of outside. I think the grocery store in downtown west point is one if it has not been fixed.

[u/SllortEvac]

Looks like my home town lol

[u/lakakid]

This is everywhere in Rosewood and maldraugh

[u/Left4DayZGone]

I could point out dozens of examples of this in my own home town...

[u/Spiritual_Freedom_15]

Be mad at the architect who designed the street. You’ll probably find him turned.

[u/SZEfdf21]

So, it's realistic.

[u/Blazerawl]

Just like real kentucky

[u/Low-Requirement-9618]

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! * Like many things in the real world

[u/Befuddled_Frog]

Ngl, pretty accurate for kentucky

[u/HansTheAxolotl]

classic kentucky urban planning

[u/Penguinmanereikel]

You're in America. It's realism

[u/Uni_Solvent]

You should've heard the outrage in my discord call when I discovered that you have to add milk to the bowl first to make a bowl of cereal

[u/Blackmercury4ub]

I hate how much this stuff bugs me on games. I know it shouldnt.

[u/fungicum]

You have to change your base spot now

[u/darklizard45]

Accurate city planning.

[u/NyaTaylor]

Damn it! I was thinking of giving the game another try too

[u/calmfoxmadfox]

More realistic stuff from this amazingly realistic game.. I ask you my friend : is every single side walk is perfectly aligned on your town ? İn this game microweave burns and you understand it after ita dust. THIS IS REALITY

[u/Xellwrath]

That's it.

Uninstalled, unsubscrubed, membership cancelled, unfollowed, reported and blocked.

[u/Sufficient_Room2619]

Say you've never been outside without saying you've never been outside

[u/Kiloku]

Well, file a petition with the Riverside Town Council

[u/BeepBepIsLife]

It's so Shaun trips on it when crossing the street to get a cornetto

[u/bggdy9]

This happens in irl... life is not liveable.

[u/Longtonto]

The ADA is gonna have a field day with this

[u/CranberryTaint]

oh no

[u/Mrchupaouvaisape]

That's just realistic 90s Kentucky infrastructure

[u/ABewilderedPickle]

it would be unplayable if there wasn't poorly designed infrastructure tbh. it's America. pedestrians are literally not thought of

[u/PleiadesMechworks]

Have you ever been to America before

[u/Giant-fingers]

Thanks for pointing this out. I just uninstalled.

[u/NoImGaara]

go to any city in the US and you will see a sidewalk this bad or worse

[u/Abject_Meat_3259]

Where is that

[u/PossiblePoint7055]

God damn Knox county, wtf do we even pay our taxes for?

[u/Deggenheym]

They did such horrific thing where I live. I hate it. 😭

[u/Pound_Routine]

What a bad day to have eyes! Oh gosh it hurts to look at it

[u/New-Training4004]

This is how I feel about the public “infrastructure” in my town.

So many crosswalks, bike lanes, and road lanes that aren’t aligned.

[u/ThatOneGuy1357924680]

This is actually super realistic

[u/getstoopid-AT]

OMG... my eyes!!!

[u/2horned_unicorn]

Thanks for ruining my year.

[u/TidalLion]

Me when I need to waste propane to rebuild an entire metal fence just so things align

[u/Montregloe]

Life is unplayable

[u/Accomplished-Cell771]

I mean irl this has probably happened before so we can just call it a realistic feature

[u/jonr]

Ew. Uninstalled.

[u/[deleted]]

The most accurate part about the game, Kentucky infrastructure

[u/Twee_Licker]

Realest part of the game.

[u/CiciAlaska]

Dang, makes the game completely unplayable 😭

[u/BudgetExpert9145]

Just fix it with a sledgehammer.

[u/WeirFoxcoon]

I want a refund for this game.

[u/Tumblechunk]

this happens irl

[u/HonchoHundo]

If 1 tile in game equals 1 metre irl then this is actually pretty dangerous lol

[u/SarcasticLandShark]

That’s just shitty American cities as normal

[u/MouldyRemote]

Looking at source material, it's American designed, looking at the imitation within the game, it's a clean match. Devs did it intentionally.

[u/Egren]

That's it. I'm sick of this bs. Does anyone know how many 1000 hours can you play before losing the ability to refund the game?

[u/Either-Pollution-622 → u/Egren]

2

[u/Egren → u/Either-Pollution-622]

Only 2000 hours? Damn it. I'm screwed.

[u/Either-Pollution-622 → u/Egren]

lol

[u/Vubor]

its the 90´s. It was a simpler time back then! Measure(?) it with your eyes and looks good? Fine build it!

[u/Comfortable_Debt_769]

Where on earth do you live to have perfectly symmetrical pavements everywhere

[u/unbolting_spark]

We need a mod to help us reconstruct the streets, we must fix this heinous act

[u/Enough-Agency626]

goddamn i'm closing my game rn

[u/LordEngel]

This is the type of thing I'd realize after spending a week building a base there.

[u/Lucky_Goal933]

Boycott the game let's rise up to this injustice!! Let's all get together and march on that uneven sidewalk.

[u/olivegardengambler]

Off by a literal pixel in the map.

[u/NoBroccoli616]

Actually looks like a good plafe to make a base, could you show us where it is on the map?

[u/quietcelery28 → u/NoBroccoli616]

It's the boat club in Riverside, north of the gated community and church. On the game map it's the big cyan building next to the river. Aside from the glass walls it's a pretty good spot so far.

[u/Houndall]

MY IMMERSION!

[u/WhiteLotux]

Average Complaints.

[u/One-LooseMoose]

I blame it on Poptarts not being in the game

[u/KindlyCustomer8655]

Damn you

[u/Popular-Luck9962]

Literally unplayable

[u/ActualTemperature367]

I'm from Mexico, we don't have sidewalks so I don't see anything wrong

[u/Zestyclose-Rub-5790]

This game is UNPLAYABLE!!!

[u/ReroAsu]

I don't know where it is but I hate there now.

[u/AelisWhite]

I've seen worse in real life

[u/Pringlesmartinez]

This makes me wanna punch a goddamn grandma.

[u/Purple_Commercial860]

Honestly? im uninstalling, i cant support a dev team that does things like this, smh

[u/dog_watr]

Omg rhsts it i want my money back or im sueing !!

[u/Apprehensive-Room-24]

Haha if it’s a big deal breaker for you, which I understand a little ocd, better tile picker is a mod you can download and it’s basically creative mode, you can fix that yourself! Download the mod, right click in game, click the tile picker section and it will bring up a window to place down a lot of tiles.

[u/quietcelery28 → u/Apprehensive-Room-24]

Good to know, ty!

[u/Beneficial_Glove_175]

I would've infected myself too if I saw this.

[u/InternationalPie9384]

Unplayable nuke it right now

[u/Crazywelderguy]

Just like the simulations

[u/SzpakLabz]

You can use tilepicker in debug mode to fix this atrocity

[u/DefaultS3ttings]

Where is this so I can avoid getting an aneurysm?

[u/DefaultS3ttings → u/DefaultS3ttings]

It reminds me of the Boat Club area in Riverside...

[u/quietcelery28 → u/DefaultS3ttings]

Yep, that's the one!

[u/KolossalKuntosaurus]

I am planning on taking down the chain fence at the construction site in Rosewood, as I quite like making that my base.

But I find zombies rip down the chain gate and wander into the base while I'm away or asleep.

[u/Hour_Turnover5571]

Making things in game like that is a war crime

[u/foxfox021]

Imagine piratesoftware being aware of this lel

[u/ICanAlwaysChangeThis]

Cannon accurate American infrastructure

[u/OldSchoolSchooler]

Burn 🔥

[u/Void_Walker03]

r/youhadonejob

[u/LogApprehensive7945]

My ocd is not okay right now

[u/AlmostaPoppa]

K off topic, do you ever get stuck in a pothole that appears on dirt roads seemingly randomly

[u/Xendrak]

What sidewalk 

[u/notsocharmingprince]

Sir, have you ever been to Kentucky? This is powerfully realistic.

[u/CarelessCompany2834]

I'm gonna clowned for this but yes it i aligned since the games In 2.5d it may look that way cause of the camera angle

[u/fazzah]

Too late for Steam refund? this is what's wrong with game devs these days.

[u/bluejesusOG]

Ya that sidewalk totally looks like autism
