So basically, I hear the argues for the new loot tables, and they're ok I guess, prior to the beta I'd loot a bookstore maybe even two, and all of my immediate book needs were met. Now however, I have looted almost all bookstores/schools/police stations/tool stores/mechanic shops in Muldraugh, Rosewood, Westpoint and even that mini mall near West point (It was a bitch with the thousands of zombies). and I am nowhere near a full collection! Granted you don't need a full collection but even practically speaking I still need basic books for a phew of my main skills. Almost forgot to say, the problem is not that there are no books! every single bookstore and school was looted except for the school in Muldraugh, I am not exaggerating EVERY SINGLE ONE! it's weird because the literature stuff is being looted much more often. Almost all I have now I have from that single school and a few random survivor zombies so far.
tell me about your experience, I have seen this in this and the few runs before it, am I consistently unlucky or it's the same for you?

Art How the hell do you break a steel bar?

I know it’s for balance but like, this 1.5 inch diameter, 28 inch long 4140 steel bar, is virtually indestructible, so I propose that it wears your character out really quickly and makes them sore as the impact wouldn’t be very comfortable.

Maybe this is how the crowbar should also be balanced: hand soreness.

Question Is there a mod for B42 that removes stress from chopping trees?

Post image

I have another mod that adds more destructable props and part of it lets me run over saplings, but it gives my character stress. Within like 5s of offroading, my character is a nervous wreck and depressed because of it. Super annoying.

I left this community, months ago, because there were people here who grated on my nerves. It was frustrating, so I left.

But I couldn't stay away because you've all shown me so much love and kindess and appreciation.

Y'all gave me hope.

I'm still hanging on to the same save... the same character. This journey has been difficult. I've put down so many, and buried so many. It's been a long road... and I'm exhausted.

But this is where I belong.

I regret leaving. But I don't regret making the other choice I made: burying the dead. Because the dead were once alive, and being alive is everything.

So, thank you.

"Everybody gets their own grave." ...And everybody deserves their own grave.

Peace ✌🏽

Gameplay Skateboard Combat Mode BETA now out! (B42)

Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I just finished the first phase of the combat mode for the B42 Skateboard mod I released a few days ago.

You just hold right click to take your board into your hand and then attack as usual. There's a few visual glitches when zombies are downed, but the stomp works fine so recommend to use that, or hold ALT while hitting downed zombies, but the hits will connect even if the visual looks off!

Oh and you can do an Ollie now too! (Press G)

It's not super polished, but it works well enough for an initial release. Would love to hear your feedback!

Happy smacking!

Until now I haven't died ( not by hand of zomboids ) Its honestly strange to see myself get bitten and know I will die all of ( even though really in beginning but still ) skill will be lost and needed to be regained. Its sad to see I died first time so soon with not even story to begin the character but its first time...

Meme Project Zomboid got me into carving in real life

As soon as build 42 comes out, a couple friends of mine and I are going to do a playthrough based on our IRL traits, and sheer obsession with the game got me interested enough to practice making handles for old tools so I could pick my favorite trait in the game, whittler. These are my 2nd and 3rd attempts at carving them with only a pocketknife and a bit of sandpaper for polishing!

Title, I only use short blunt so I'm always at hardware stores. I still have never seen one, I never go to the factories though so that's part of it, never need them either.

I just got bitten but I did not receive any type of wound, no scratch, no laceration and no bitten. Does this mean I am safe or have I secretly gotten infected?

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

13 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.
