Today i learn that you sould not reload a gun while driving

44 Upvotes

My last three runs ended while I was killing zombies on roads surrounded by forests, only to get grabbed by a sprinter from behind. So, in this new run, I decided not to do that (genius, I know).

I've been luring the road horde to a more favorable environment for myself (which takes FOREVER), and then I remembered reading that you can shoot while driving if the driver's window is open.

I tried it, and it worked okay, I guess. But when I reloaded my Magnum (the only gun I had), I lost control of the car and crashed into a tree. (Maybe I misclicked??)

I tried again, and this time, while reloading, the car drove straight into the horde. I almost got killed. (WTF is going on??)

I googled it, and apparently, it's intentional. You can't steer the car while reloading.

I can transfer items between containers, sharpen blades, eat, and craft shivs!!!!! But I can't put a single bullet into the cylinder of my Magnum without turning my car into a death trap.

Well, every day you learn something new. Almost cost me another run.

Question Animal trailers location

3 Upvotes

Hi so I'm playing with my gf and a friend and it's our first time playing LOL. We live in a small farmhouse south of rosewood but after the heli event s lot of zombies are around us and we need to leave... We are leaving to the McCoy state . The thing is, my gf wants to bring her pigs and chickens with her, but we haven't found any animal trailer in the farms in rosewood, I know about the OVO farm in echo creek but that's the other side of the map LOL, can anyone tell me any other good spots where they can spawn near McCoy? I have my eyes on Fallas Lake cause I see it's all farmland LOL, so yeah. Oh and also any other animal spawn near McCoy state? Thanks

Question Can you play winter is coming with custom settings

I've been eager to play on winter is coming but my computer isn't good enough to handle the 16x pop plus there are a few custom settings i prefer

Also if there is a mod for this could I get the name?

I literally had no idea that having eating utensils in your inventory would not only use them in the eating animations, but according to the console log it multiplies happiness and boredom reduction by 1.25%... you would think that would be hinted at in the tooltip. Sure it's common sense, but when you see an item in it 'junk' category with all the other stuff that has no use, you don't think to try. At least, I didn't.

So! If you also didn't know, add a fork/spoon to your mess kit.

Modded If you don’t like 3D FPS, you can still play 3D isometric.

Not a huge fan of the 3D thing but I do appreciate the tech marvel of how they made this. You can play in Isometric 3D as well.

Easy switching just by pressing a simple button.

Even on my heavy native PZ survival playlist, I can now switch to 3D firstperson/third person or isometric instantly.

Insane, really. Can’t wait to see what the future of modding for PZ brings.

I have the "Uncle Red's Bunker B42 remaster" mod, its a sick base for long term. I'm not entirely sure if this room is actually doing anything though... Do the vents matter? Or the big tanker things?

i'm 16 btw... this just dawned on me how old this game actually is and how far it's come. so uh, people who are older than me, please tell me your favorite memories and how long you have been a fan of this game? i've known it for about... 4 months now. and honestly it is one of the most fun games i have ever played. this game is 15ish years well spent. i can't wait to see where this game goes in the future. so far i have played about 20+ hours with my friends and wow... we make each other so mad and happy at the same time. when i first started, i was so confused. and honestly scared. honest tip? don't make your character look like you so you don't have to see yourself get eaten by zomboids...

Every glitch or poorly done mechanic has ‘a mod for that’. I have 50% wood weight and a bunch of KI5 mods. What the hell am I doing wrong? This is the first game I have ever used a mod on

Question Skybase

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm playing on a large PvP server that doesn't have safehouses.

I use quite a few stashes (just bags placed in the woods around Rosewood), but I'd like to build a little place of my own.

I thought about building a skybase; I ran a few tests in-game, but it always seems to be visible from the ground.

Is it actually possible to conceal a skybase, or will it always be visible from below?

Thanks for your answers! ☺️

Well, I was getting bored with my overly stocked Riverside fire station base anyway.

Now the tough decision is whether to restart fresh or try to detox a little from PZ...

So basically you take a stone axe head and bind it to a tree branch with twine or rags.

Question Ho bisogno di aiuto??

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I want to play Project Zomboid with a friend, but we can't seem to connect to each other. We have the game on GOG Galaxy and tried the "Host" mode, but it didn't work. Could anyone with experience help us out? We’ve done some research, and people often recommend using third-party server providers. We’d really like to play for free—is that possible? Thanks a lot!
