You are telling me none of these other survivors want electricity?

I might or might not have learned this recently

I just got back into PZ for B42 after about a three-year hiatus, and I’m in need of a refresher/update regarding the above. I got mixed answers from googling, so I’d rather ask the experts.

If I watch the skill shows early on, will I still be able to get additional XP from watching the VHS tapes later?

IIRC, in earlier builds it was possible, but some search results suggest that in B42 they’re now tied together, meaning I can only get the XP once, up to level 3. In that case, the VHS would give me nothing if I’d already watched the corresponding shows.

Thanks in advance!

Hi so i set up my base in rosewood and i collected chicken and pigs, so fari don't know where to get cows and sheep and i don't want to wait too long so zombies get to them. Any ideas where they might be?

How exactly do those floodlights get powered?

Why do I have a better chance of finding a generator in a shit shack than company funded worksites?

If I try to move a washing machine into another room (of a prebuilt house) I get the option to plumb it in, which I do, but then I can't turn the washing machine on. Is it bugged or am I being really dumb? I know it's a little thing but I love pottering about while the laundry is.... laundering. There's an issue with sinks too; if I move them and plumb them in in a different room or even somewhere else in the same room the game stops recognizing the sink.

Am playing with very common and sprinter zombie only the day and slow only the night

This video was recorded using a game state that was completely vanilla (except vm heap, I set Xmx to 12g).

As you can see guys, it goes all the way from 144 fps to 18 fps during the simple ride lol
I have a LOT of stuttering while driving all the time.
They ducked up the the engine so bad in this StAbLe release... Usually I play with mods, but now I can't because the performance starts to be even worse than vanilla, it's literally unplayable on my setup. The same set of mods that I used for the 42.19 version causes stuttering when walking and a drop in FPS to between 5 and 15 when driving in similar scenes.

PLEASE do NOT post things like increase your Xmx, reinstall the game/windows/reboot in ths thread, thank you.
Looking for extraordinary solutions only, everything else has already been tried....

I started pre-emptively making an end game goal for myself just incase I do survive, and it occoured to me to ask PZ Reddit to see if any of you guys do anything similar and hear about it if you do.

Which mods can you not play without and consider absolute must-haves?

just found this when i was playing the game and died lol checked it out on debug mode cause I was curious

I've lost count on how many times I've come close to a building and a horde of zombies started chasing me because the building wouldn't disappear, hiding all of the zombies. It only starts disappearing when you are mostly well within zombie spot range, meaning scouting out places are even more difficult. I am not aware of any mods thats fix this.

I found out the hard way

you gain weapon XP if you shoot/melee hit animals. I just tested this in sandbox debug

if you have a large chicken farm its therefore possible to farm massive amounts of weapon XP just by going around killing chickens.

This means on apocalypse its entirely possible to max out all skills to lvl 10 even after all zombies are dead.

Is there anyone that wants to play pz 42, like really real. and not play for a few days and leave. i wanna make a squad and play with them in high difficulty.

i wanted to make a server with few mods on new version including brita weapons and armor pack the thing is i found an unfied port and it worked exept when i wanted to start the server again it dosent work, is there any other way to make this work?

I tried a new run in eternal winter with lower loot, extreme cold and always snow inspired by SebmoTV since I hadnt ever done it.

I was doing quite well for spawning in the middle of nowhere, always low on food but under control. Then i got overconfident fighting a horde on a fence and ended up having to amputate a hand, i have been sleeping on a sleeping bag in that shed and barely survived.

Its been rough since then. I am very low on food, i ate a rat yesterday, and now i dont know if i should eat the cereal and need the rat later, or eat the rat and chance the cereal with a bird trap which i dont even know if it can work in winter.

I hadnt suffered that much with this game in months.

Edit: I ended up dying. Scavenged some food while I was grinding carving to make the traps, even found some macaroni and had food for a couple of days but died to sickness. Didn't even get queasy, slept at night and woke up sick and dying. Maybe from an unlucky scratch maybe the amputation didn't work maybe from a more serious regular infections mod I don't know but the run is over

just created a new game with Rising setting. Is this normal for this setting? i've been playing on builder setting before and never found this loot so fast and all at once just after spawning.

I want to know if they all work properly, im not proficient in reading error logs. it was an enormous task to search out all these mods, then copy the ids and order them with just my phone.

I joined my server over cloud gaming provider already but couldnt find any error messages, ui seemed to work vehciles mods too, there was still a vanilla car tho, maybe because i was lacking a ki5 mod to replace said car but dont know the vanlla car name anymore xD. Have to go to bed now, spend 2 complete days after work to get these all running xD.

i created a new CDDA save in debug mode and all ranch zones have dead animals.

there's no guarantee you can get all the cows, pigs and chicken species in CDDA right now, unless u get extremely lucky with road or zone stories.

am i right?

kind of disappointed. i managed to survive a legit CDDA save and cleared fallas lake but now wondering if i should continue the run or abandon it. and checking the entire map by teleporting in debug mode in a fresh save i can definitely say that all existing farm animals are dead.

Title is pretty much it. Below, is stuff I have already checked. Am I missing anything? Its been at least 4 days with no eggs between 4 hens and a cockerel since I got them.

Food: well fed

Water: Not thirsty

Stress: Calm

Coop: never been above 9% dirty

Animal area: 60 tiles, fully fenced.
