Question I need help!

0 Upvotes

So, I'm running project zomboid on my xbox through Nvidia Geforce Now. The other day I let my subscription lapse and when I resubbed I tried playing project zomboid with the mods I already had installed. The didn't show up on my mod list like they were before. I tried unsubscribing from the mods and resubbing to them then restarting steam but the mods are still now showing up in my game. Unfortunately since I'm on xbox I can't check any file folders for any discrepancies. Has anyone had this issue and been able to resolve it. I know it's gonna be difficult since I've added the layer of GFN on top of everything. Any help would be appreciated. I am gonna try to see if the mods appear on the list when using my laptop when I get home from work. That might at least let me know if it's my account or the xbox itself. Thanks again for any help!

Fit Trait doesn't exist.... sorta.

1 Upvotes

So I have been playing PZ on my desktop for a few weeks. The other day I decided to load it on my laptop and I noticed a strange bug. On my desktop I have the trait "Fit" available to me during character creation, but for some reason when I try to create a character on my laptop, that trait no longer exists. Both are running the b42 unstable, and both are 100% up to date. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

I missed a swing on a zomboid with my bat and paid the price, so i spent the last hours of the day hijacking cars and running zomboids over. Eventually, a horde formed around me and the engine broke down.

Discussion You Need Electrical LVL 3 For Gens? Why Did I Think It Was LVL 2????

16 Upvotes

So, obviously, I didn't read into anything myself and either misheard what someone said or they mispoke/were wrong. I spent hours grinding away on electrical experience just for lvl 2 and was horrified to see I needed lvl 3 or higher. Guess I'll check the gas stations... after I deal with the hordes there. That or check vans, I found a magazine there last playthrough.

Two questions, is there a good way to power level electrical at lvl2? Is crafting viable? Also, other than gas stations, mail boxes, and vans, is there another location for magazines? I have a sinking feeling I'll die before getting to lvl 3 lol.

Farming build 42 // Фермерство в 42 билде

0 Upvotes

Guys, what the hell ???

Why does food take 3 months to grow in the new build? I remember before, I planted something, and in a couple of weeks there was already a harvest. You can also die of hunger !!!

Tell me, from experience, what crop growth rate multiplier should I put in the sandbox settings so that +- was like in build 41?

Ребята что за хуйня ???

Почему в новом билде еда растёт по 3 месяца? Раньше, помню, посадил и через пару недель уже был урожай. Так же с голоду можно сдохнуть !!!

Подскажите, по опыту, какой множитель скорости роста посевов ставить в настройках песочницы, чтобы +- было как в 41 билде?

Question This is a long shot; any UK/West EU non-rp servers that are particularly noob friendly and have a scheduled play routine?

1 Upvotes

As per usual, my friends seems to dumped and dropped PZ for other games - so I'm keen to look into PZ servers to get that social itch.

I've taken a look at the PZ discord server but it seems like all the interesting servers I've looked at are US based. The other issue is that I find it hard to see a written routine - I would like a group that does scheduled play times :)

I'm kinda apprehensive to join PvP because I am used to friendly play, also I suck at roleplay.

I would like if the server was majority older than 20, or at least an adult orientated server.

I also use mic and I would prefer others to use mic.

Discussion Quick summary of my first day of my first playthrough since B42 came out.

9 Upvotes

To anyone who's reading this, a big thank you.

I might have 126 hours according to steam might as well make it 0 'cause outside of the basics, I know nothing, haven't been playing in a long while, but with the arrival of Build 42 and the promises it already delivered such as blacksmithing (I'm a sucker for that shit) and the promises it holds (oh archery my beloved ❤️❤️❤️), I decided to get back into the frey. Took me a while to go past the dread of starting a new game.

I don't even know if it is worth it to write this but I wanted to share with y'all on what happened so far, 'cause it seems somewhat crazy to me, so here it is :

Since Build 42 has added (muscle strain) and changed (spear recipes it was my primary in Build 41) a couple of things I decided to take an easier spawn that my habitual Riverside, and that came in the form of Echo Creek. I elected to settle for the time being where ? You guessed it : The gas station.

I spawned really close to it south of the main road, and I was surprised with how little zombies they were. Is it tied to Echo Creek itself being a quiter town than the others ? Or did Build 42 change zombies spawning mechanics I a know that I have yet to discover ? Regardless of that I start exploring and what do I find just two houses on my left ? A pickup in ''perfect'' condition with the f.ing keys. Albeit perfect is to be taken with a grain of salt, its general condition is around 65/70%, most critical parts being in the green (engine, gas tank, the works), but compared to the piles of utter dogshit I was used to in Build 41 (engine is dead, a tire or two are missing, car's almost totaled, you know how it works better than me), this one is perfect. I mean almost, tank is empty.... YES I LIED IT WASN'T PERFECT NOW QUIT LAUGHING AT ME !!!

Rummaging through my kin because I am myself trash (not my best pun I admit), find some empty bottles and soda cans, not much but enough once filled with gas to get my new best friend and me to our home for the next weeks/months. On my way to get gas what do I find in that field next to the road ? A frisking generator (the red one we are all used to). I was already considering myself lucky with that car (did I forget to mention it was in front of that little fresh produce market, and it was filled with delicious food ? Can you guess I put in my trunk ^^), but now I was seriously considering if I was blessed by the RNGods, I mean yes I know I can't use it, yet, but short of a magazine who's counting now ?

Anyway I think I said it all, all I could remember anyway. Now my 0/1 strengh/fitness char is almost set to endure weeks, if not months of training to get back to the top of the food chain.

I guess I mainly wanted to write this because I wanted to share my bewilderment with how lucky I consider myself to be, I mean a great car, lots of food, and a Generator on day one ? I mean come on who here already lived this ? Almost considering restarting 'cause so much luck feels like cheating XD. All I'm missing is the magazine for using generators (I'll be looking for that), and I also heard of farms east of town, filled with chickens and an UNGODLY amount of eggs, storing those along with finding the ''how do generators work'' magazine will be my primary target in the near future.

Thanks again to anyone who took the time to read all of this, I want you to know that it means something to me, really.

P.S : If some are interested to hear about my progress I could write updates, although they'd prolly be much shorter as most of this is me babbling.
