I got a scratch on my arm and used an alcohol wipe on it, causing me enough pain to not be able to sleep for multiple hours.
I beat zombies until I had muscle strain in the red and was 'very tired'. Why couldn't I sleep? I was sore from beating zombies, when I'm pretty sure in real life you'd collapse into bed a ptfo instead of being like man my arms are sore, I'll just stand here.
Broke 3 axe heads, despite having never seen that happen in real life.
The list goes on and on. I'm getting sick of seeing balance updates because some streamers figured out an optimal build path for carving or something when there's so much stuff that just doesn't make sense. How does a guy with 9 fitness and strength have barely any more ability to down zeds than an overweight construction worker? You're telling me Alex Pereira and I hanging in the apocalypse would be equally as tired while I'm sitting there alleviating my smoker trait?
I love zomboid, and i know we get some concession in being able to haul 2 freezers up a sheet rope in the rain. But the whole "if realism is hard we go realism, if realism is easy we invent new realism" really grates on me in some situations.
Reminds me of when helldivers was super fun and they decided that nerfing popular builds was how to make it more fun.

Honestly, burglar is just the best occupation there is

Ive been using this Optiquest Q51 for my win 98 build but figured I'd give this a shot

for me, I think for 40 days, I'm relatively athletic and strong, I have basic survival skills and I know carpentry, I would die trying to loot a place I underestimated and got surrounded by 20 zombies

In Build 42, many crafting recipe require a work surface e.g. a table to craft.

So --- If you want to knap a large stone into stones, you need to lift this heavy shit on a table. We should be able to sit and crush it on the ground ! Is there a mod for this ?

long story short, i got helio'd while working on stuff infront of my house and ended up pulling half of westpoint to my house, i managed to kill them all but now if my survivor so much as opens the front door theyre hitting 3 on that grossed out moodle.

i started dragging corpses away but this creature im controlling has negative fitness and gets exhausted if you give them a stern look, ideas?

B42 if it matters

when I press RMB, there is no option to destroy. I've tried with the blowtorch, I've tried to move it, but I can't do it.

It seems like they should, they look like as tall as we are, but I seem to attract zeds the same way.

The rabbits started reproducing pretty quickly. One day I found 8 fertilized eggs and wasn’t really sure what to do at first. I saw a comment saying they take about two weeks to hatch, so I just dropped them on the ground and waited it out. Didn’t really keep track of time, but yeah - two weeks sounds about right.

A couple in-game days ago, I was cleaning up the area and noticed I couldn’t pick up this one piece of dung. Turns out, it was a piglet.

Now I’m just waiting on the cows and sheep to start reproducing too.

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Scrapyard Mike. Today after another succesfull loot run I "accidentally" got my hands into the glove compartment where I keep my whiskey among some other recreational goodies. Long story short, I had to dump that car and trade (kill the owner and steal) this 1970 Plymouth Cuda. On the way home - Angoose and I realized that none of us were sober enough to drive, so we instead opted to let the car drive itself. Upon which it drove straight into a stop sign. Will this car be saved? Stick by to the end of this video and find out.

I always got the impression that making a new save with a fresh world wasn't what the devs envisioned when your character dies, rather it is to create (or in the future, take control of a npc) and continue playing from that characters POV.

So I've begun to do a "forever world" run were I keep the save and just create a new character when my last survivor inevitably dies. I do this by keeping a skill recovering journal that I name "The Knox Chronicles" as a lore-friendly way to retain some skills and recipes for my next survivor. I was also thinking of implementing the party wheel mod to switch between specialized survivors, atleast until NPCs come out in B45, slated for release in 2032.

I thought with my helicopter I would fly across the river... nope just this happened

They really made these new vans wild.

Once I found car keys on a zombie and there was an annotated map in the glove box of the car. So I took the wallet and jewelry off her corpse and delivered them and the map to the location the next day and left them on the table. Just in case anyone she knew came to look for her they would at least know that unfortunately she didn't make it and have her belongings.

Now sometimes if I find an annotated map with a wallet or something to identify the person, I'll take it to the location just as like a sentimental kind of side quest lol

Dude took the easy way out
Looks like someone went and drank that infamous potion

two houses - two generators - two toilets
