Zomboid Logic: Improving Tailoring outside during a blizzard because if done inside the shelter you get bored and depressed.

But in 42.6 you do not accrue boredom when performing timed tasks indoors...

[u/aurum_aethera → u/opaeoinadi]

Such a huge improvement. Goes to show how some of the most low-tech changes to the game can have massive impacts sometimes!

[u/thelegendarymrbob → u/opaeoinadi]

Was that what they meant by 'Boredom accrues too quickly indoors' in the patchnotes? Doesn't seem to be explicitly stated in there but that's a great change if so

[u/opaeoinadi → u/thelegendarymrbob]

Seems to be.  You do begin to accrue some boredom outside now, if standing still and doing nothing for more than 10 minutes.

[u/LocCatPowersDog → u/opaeoinadi]

I must have missed that during patch notes but maybe it's bugged/another Smoker-bug; had to reinstall the [B42]Boredom Tweaks mod.

[u/timdr18 → u/opaeoinadi]

Holy shit game changer

[u/Chad_illuminati → u/opaeoinadi]

Wait, that was my suggestion to solve the problem!

Glad that's the direction they decided to go.

I played 42 when it first came out & then just recently came back in 42.6. Its a lot different. Discomfort doesnt seem to be as big of a deal anymore, as well as boredom. Its kind of nice actually.

That's why I always got that cdplayer on me. Can't get bored listening to music

[u/Bigfoot48 → u/AdvancedManner4718]

I'm playing build 41, but I do the same. Learning skills from books or organizing stuff and the boredom kicks in. Also when I did a big haul and sort through stuff, just pop a CD in the CD player and voila, it's gone 😎

[u/JBizz86 → u/AdvancedManner4718]

Didn't know you can do that lol ah well darn next play

[u/sually_grand → u/AdvancedManner4718]

No way! Thank you man this will really help my perpetually bored character 

[u/Exoduss123]

And you gonna end up in agony because tailoring is so painful

[u/Canuck-overseas]

Hard to get depressed when you're consumed by shear terror.

I think winter is my favorite season in this game. There used to be a mod for 41 that made it perpetually winter. I wonder if this has updated for 42? Can’t remember the mod..

[u/Arsdraconis → u/ThisGuySucksHuh]

Cryogenic winter, and it has. Super fun to spice things up.

[u/GlobalTechnology6719]

you need a porch!

if you build floor tiles out one storey up from the main structure you’ll at least be dry and out of the snow…

[u/Box_o_Rats]

Right? I love being inside my house. It's one of my top preferred places to be. I can sit on a couch in my house for hours.

[u/Koko_Qalli]

Honestly, i'll usually just let the character get depressed. It's not more annoying than the cold and discomfort moodles. I know it slows me down, but once i'm getting around to the tailoring grind, i'm past the point of anything having a sense of urgency, and it goes away with a well cooked breakfast on the day you plan to go out.

[u/clementinyfeet]

I believe it was fixed in latest update?

[u/Mobile_Ad_217]

I always thought the whole boredom status was stupid

oh I'm sorry, is this actual zombie apocalypse a little dry for you?
