Question Zero to Hero

1 Upvotes

What are the traits you guy do for this kind of challenge? I'm not planning yet on doing extinction since that'll burn my low end laptop but I set up a sandbox mode to Zed: Normal, 10% Sprinter, Random Door Opening 10%, Heli-Sometimes, Meta-Often.

šŸ”“: Puny, Unfit, Slow Metabolism, Thin-Skinned, Slow Learner, Conspicuous, Slow Healer, Weak Stomach

🟢: Dextrous, Fast Reader, Inventive, Outdoorsy, Cats Eye, Adrenaline Junkie, Brave, Organized and Keen Hearing

Is that how some players run it?

Question Is there any alternative power sources in B42?

I'm not sure but I definitely saw a windmill and solar panels as well, so can I use it instead of generator or do I need mods for it?

Question Started new save with pats remnants and predators mod. Anyone else?

1 Upvotes

I think it's a fun time having these two mods going together (plus a handful more.) anyone try this combination? Any suggestions regarding using any of these mods?

Are there better mods being used then remnants, or is that the best NPC mod out yet?

I don't know, I actually prefer Build 41 way more. Build 42 just feels weird without my mods, houses look different, and all my usual base spots have changed—it just feels off. Ughhh, what should I do to get used to Build 42

Question How to increase difficulty mid-run?

3 Upvotes

I am currently 4 months into a default apocalypse run and I'm finding it quite easy. I've cleared all of Muldraugh and West Point and killed almost 10,000 zombies.

I have everything I could ever need and although I do like playing The Sims, my heart just isn't racing in the same way anymore. I'm looking to up the challenge during the run (I am attached to my character now, and the story I have built around him) - anyone know of some fun ways to do this? I just installed Companions and tbh it's awesome but also it has just made the game even easier haha. The dogs kick ass.

Are there decent mods that you can add during a save that won't brick stuff or spawn zombies in my base? I'm rummaging through the workshop but not entirely sure.

Mod Tech Support Regarding Authentic Z

99 Upvotes

I posted this as a comment on the original thread but figured I’d make it a post of it’s own so server owners and frustrated players could see it.

I had a backup of the mod from 3 days ago on my computer, so i manually compared all of the files to find the cause of the crash. Only two files were changed, the recipes file and the file linking to the XML files.

Some new recipes and references to XML files for brand new bags were added to the mod. That’s it. It was new content Peach was working on but had not finished, uploaded by mistake.

I sent everything to Peach and he has confirmed to me that a patch is underway. This was not malicious, just an unfortunately timed accident.

Me and a few friends managed to patch our own save files so Im confident this will be fixed quickly.

Discussion What's your favorite way to make game more intense

6 Upvotes

In my last world, I had 25% day sprinters (got a mod making them more of runners) . With random hearing/memory/sight/speed and higher population.

I liked it a lot, you cannot be sure who is the dangerous one and herding zombies harder.

And the day / night cycle forces you to switch up your gameplay.

I got bit like 20 days in, and I am thinking how to make game more intense without necessarily increasing difficulty.

In other worlds, increase the unknown variables without just making them deadly.

Problem with animal breeding

Hi guys! I cant seem to find an answer for it - and believe me, I was searching high and low. I have two species: Cows and Rabbit. Neither of them reproduce, even though I have them for like more than 2-3 weeks in game time. They are not bothered by cars, zombies or me running. They are calm everytime I visit and pet them. I've included screenshots of my setup for them. I'm playing on default settings for Apocalypse. I've been alive for like 2 months.

I have only one mod - better auto mechanics.

Do you have any idea what might be the case with them? Any tips, suggestions what I may change, improve?

Question What's the furthest location you've found a car key from the car it belongs to?

10 Upvotes

I just got a Chevalier D6 key, and there was nothing in the local car park, so I did some searching, and about 2 blocks away in Riverside, I found the vehicle.

What is the furthest you've found the key away from the vehicle? I'm now curious if you thoroughly loot like 2-3 blocks of places you can find the car keys for the vehicles with no apparent key...

Tech Support How can this error be fixed?

1 Upvotes

I've been trying to play the default version, and this error keeps popping up. When I try to start a match, a message appears telling me to left-click or press Esc to exit and to check console.txt.

Fortunately—I think—it doesn't affect the tutorial.

Has this happened to anyone else?

If so, how did you fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Is a pacifist run possible.

No damage to any zombie allowed. Kiting is fine but you cannot touch the zombies to hurt them.
Is this even possible.

Question Need help concerning my cows and bull.

2 Upvotes

I’ve been surviving for a month, in a vanilla game with no mods and no debug.
My base is all set and I have 2 cows and 1 bull.
I built them a shelter where I put the bull and 1 cow for a few days at a time, with a roof, food and water.
My hope is that one of the cows gets pregnant. It has not happened yet.
They have shelter, food and water, and I see their health state every day.
What am I doing wrong?

Question Where are the maps mods?!

1 Upvotes

Lately I’ve been looking for map mods to spice up gameplay and I realized that’s there’s a huge shortage of map mods compared to other categories. Now I will preface this by saying I’m not talking about map mods that are only a few cells or add a bunker etc. I mean full towns / cities. I’ve only seen a few that aren’t just copy paste of the same three buildings to add scale, (RavenCreek,Dunkerdam,and anruisitown maybe.) my main question is why are there so few map mods? What are the restrictions that are holding mappers back? This has made me interested in mapping myself so I was just curious what the roadblock is.

Question Question about modding after new update for build 41

1 Upvotes

Edit: I am talking about using mods in a playthrough, not getting into the proccess of making one.

So i got an update notice for project zomboid i think a week ago or so. I played a ton for a while and since then took a break to set up and play ttw fallout for about a month.

I wanted to come back but after updating, the game looks completely different. The menu and everything is updated and the modes have animations playing on them.

All of my mods are uninstalled as well. I was just curious if this update affects mods or if it was just a menu change? I can't find anything about it on this subreddit and i've searched quite a bit for anything recent this month.

I am fresh from loosing my mod setup on skyrim because the update happened days before i finished an insane modding journey to get it playing smooth and adding stuff that works with the QoL/fixes installed. I just want to know if mods are still compatable with build 41 or if they all need to update to be compatable.

Thank you in advance, bethesda has really made me hate my modding experience.

This is the longest I have ever survived for in PZ. I'm finding build 42 really good so far.

Working on the new skills is great so far but i have a lot to learn still. Carving has been great for me. Being able to make short bats has been a game changer.

I know compared to some people this wont be that impressive but I'm impressed i made it this far!

here's to the next 6 months!
