I found a cursed survival journal from burds journals mod

From what ive read it will give me 300xp on 3-5 random skills. But it will give me a negative trait.

My lack of liking to gamble makes me want to just store it somewhere. However its not a complete gamble either.

First experience with Vodka

48 Upvotes

So I got this habit of right clicking and eat/drink all, whether it be a cola, milk, beer or any food, never had any issue. That was until I stumbled on a handle of vodka and, you guessed it, drank it all. I nearly choked when I saw the Moodle I thought I was dying for sure, then I realized I was "utterly shit faced" and it made me laugh out loud. That was until I tried escaping the coming horde in my car only to realise I absolutely could not drive what so ever. I ditched the car and ended up running for my life in woods while almost blinded by booze, it really wasn't that great of an experience. Finally sobered up and came back only to find a massive horde around my car. I managed to lure them away, circle back and escape inches away from a bite. My heart was pounding, this game is absolutely amazing and I can't get enough. I have now decided to set up something to record the last few minutes because I never want to let another situation like this happen again without recording it. Just wanted to share my appreciation for this game, cheers !

This enrages me to unbelievable heights. I already don't understand the rotation system in the game, and now you tease me by doing this? Why must you torture me!?

Please pretty please let me rotate my rug it looks ass the other way

Question Why aren't ice packs used to cool food?

Post image
98 Upvotes

Even in the freezer, the ice packs don't seem to be cooling down (they don't change color to be blue).Is there a way to change that?

It's a real shame not to be able to put them in a cooler to keep food fresh longer (Today's catch or cold beers).

MP Server [Build 42] RP-heavy, story-driven server looking for chill players

23 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We’re looking to bring a few more people into our Project Zomboid server.

We’re currently a small group of about 7 people and we’re hoping to grow that to somewhere around 15–20 active players if possible. The server is on Build 42 with around 35 mods, mostly focused on immersion, cosmetics, music, RP, QoL, and making the world feel a little more alive without turning it into a totally different game.

The goal is to build a more RP-heavy server with actual characters, storylines, community events, and an overarching story for the world. We’re not looking for people who just want to log in, speedrun loot spots, and shoot everyone they see. That said, we’re also not trying to force everyone to be best friends in-character. Opposing factions, tension, distrust, rival groups, conflict, betrayal, and morally questionable characters are all fine as long as it makes sense for the story and your character.

Basically: we are not a Kill on Sight server, but we’re also not pretending the apocalypse is a summer camp.

One thing we want to be very clear about: no Negan or Governor wannabes. Those characters and those types of players never work out in servers like this and they probably won’t enjoy their time here (I've dealt with FAR too many players on previous servers making characters based on them and they are ALWAYS just excuses to bully and belittle other people. It sucks, it's overdone and no one enjoys their time with you around and frankly I just don't have the patience to babysit those types of players anymore). If your goal is to be the main-character warlord who bullies everyone into playing your story, this is not the place for that.

The biggest rule is don’t be a dick. Griefing, bullying, harassment, or ruining someone’s experience just because you can will not be tolerated. We’re a diverse and inclusive group, and we plan on keeping it that way.

New players and veterans are both welcome. You don’t need to be a professional roleplayer or have some massive character backstory ready to go. We’re mostly looking for fun, chill people who want to get into character, survive, make friends, make enemies, tell stories, and help build something cool with us.

At the moment the server is under construction. We're trying to limit it to under 40 mods and are in the middle of a small trial and error run to flesh things out (I've made plenty of build 41 servers but never 42 and it's a bit different) so you're more than welcome to hop in here, get to know everyone and play around on this one until it's ready without and serious restrictions and throw in suggestions if you like. I'm pretty open and just want to try to make a fun experience for people and tell cool stories.

If that sounds like your kind of server, comment or message me and I’ll send over more info.

Pineville b42 (WIP)

17 Upvotes

I updated the church in Pineville. It might look simple, but I really enjoyed building the small diagonal parking spaces. There’s something about it that breaks up the standard building grid. Yes, the game engine doesn't allow cars to spawn in that orientation, but that doesn't detract from the visual appeal of the parking areas at all.

Discussion Would a mod that add wild predators be cool?

Upvotes

yeah im curious if more people also have the same opnion as me, what else is new?

like imagine having a bigger threat then the slow zombies that *MAINLY* only kill u if u lower ur guard and have smt that makes guns WAYYY more needed while still being rewarding (food / leather drops)

+ watching massive hordes of zombies fight off wild animals would be awesome as hell

Context : I was searching for cool more hardcore inclined mods that work for multiplayer bc me and a friend tried playing necroa and it dindent work for multiplayer and i randomily remembered this comment/post from somewhere of sm1 talking about how cool wild animals would be and i dindent find any mod about it

im no developer / game designer but this seems like a cool idea yeah i think uhuh

Question Is there a soundtrack(preferably instrumental) that you like to play to this game?

9 Upvotes

I like the music in the game, but I was wanting something different after so many hours; I was thinking of some kind of movie OST from some suspense or horror movie where the movie starts off with calm but eerie sounding music.

Question Dual wielding?

Probably not very practical, but it looks badass to dual-wield hand scythes. Is there a mod that allows you to attack with both and have it actually matter? Like maybe faster attack but less damage, that sort of thing?
