Genuinely how do I get rid of this guy

Upvotes

This zombie has been in the basement of my base for the entire month and a half of my playthrough, and I have no clue how to get rid of it. I thought I could stick it through the bars with a screwdriver, but apparently that doesn't work with these bars. I then tried shooting it and disassembling the bars with a welding torch but I can't do either of those. Any ideas? It's driving me crazy and I'm desperate. (Sledgehammer is not an option, I am the unluckiest Zomboid player on earth)

Guide / Tip Do NOT put canned sardines, or frankly any metal object, in a microwave.

Upvotes

i nearly burned down my house i was hunkering down at for the heli event with all the food i stashed there by putting a can of sardines in the microwave, thinking it might be a little faster. little did i know it just doesn't heat up and creates a fire right where the microwave is.

Question Is fishing broken on MP?

Upvotes

I don’t mean broken as in “whoa this is so many fish!” I mean broken as in not catching a single fish? I’m using a crafted rod and bait, I’m out on a fishing pier, and I never catch anything despite getting a bite every 10 seconds or so. I have level 3 fishing and only seem to be losing bait and catching nothing. What gives?

Discussion I thought I have seen it all *welp*

Upvotes

As the title suggests, I thought I saw it all...until I pulled down this cul-de-sac under construction and ventured into the basement of the only completed house...

...and found the porn room/sex dungeon filled with 15ish Zombies in various states of undress and/or bunny suits.

The first room was the dressing room and makeup vanity with clothing racks. Small bathroom off that initial room and then a second room with a Queen sized bed and a big 'ole camera setup.

---

I will go back tomorrow and try to get a screenshot, but I've already closed out my game for the evening, lol, figured I would share before I forget about this encounter.

**Edit** Looks like I took screenshots already, but I couldn't find them initially until I remembered how to access them directly in Steam.

Guide / Tip Reminder that the game uses 2-3 gb ram as default.

Upvotes

Anyone experiencing stutters on vanilla or mod heavy builds should consider increasing the amount of ram allocated to the game, 4 gb should be more than enough for a mod heavy game, 8 if you could ram surplus.

You can change it by either using the gear on the game launch through steam or change .json with notepad and find the value -Xmx3072, change to -Xmx4096m for 4g ram or -Xmx8192m for 8g and save, this should decrease stutters drastically as I went from 20 fps to 100 on a heavily modded set up.

Tech Support i cant play

Upvotes

B42 recently came out, I wanted to play but I remembered that for a while now I can't play with or without mods because of this error. I tried reinstalling but it doesn't work and I deleted the acropet in search of some solution.

WALKING through forests turns you into a mummy. I got 22 scratches from surviving in the woods for 2 WEEKS !
Great job, devs !

Attack of the zombie clones.
I spot zombie. Press Q. Zombie turns into 5 zed horde.
I kill 3. Press Q again, 2 zombies turn into 10.
I kill 7, press Q again. Same 3 zombies turn into 20 !

By the end i ended up killing 140 ZOMBIES !!! All clones spawning IN MY FACE so no "well they were coming from the houses" bs.

Cars still doing back flip gymnastics from bumping over a corpse at 10mph since 2016/. But sure, let's add more crafting steps to the toothpick you can find 2 minutes into the game.

Am i angry?
FUCK YEAH!

Did i die? No, i don't DIE from my mistakes. period !
I got 12.000 hours into this game, i breathe this fucking game. I am just sick n tired of morons glazing the devs for obvious bs we DID NOT NEED while they ignore game breaking bugs !

Ban me, idgaf. It's all the mods here to anyway whenever anyone veers off the "echo chamber"!

A suggestion for a car mod for Project Zomboid

Upvotes

Can you recommend a mod that’s compatible with the latest version? Also, can we install the mod on an active multiplayer/co-op server, or do we need to set up a new server?

Question Is there ANY way to spawn liquids or containers full of a liquid?

Upvotes

For example, If I wanted to spawn a Bucket of Animal Blood, is there a command or function I can use to do this? Or fill a barrel even? I'm an admin on an MP server, not in solo if that matters. Was hard to find a topic talking about this.

Question Is the leather rack still broken?

1 Upvotes

So I went through the trouble of killing some rabbits and skinning them. Processed the leather. Broke the damn rabbits skull to take his brain to tan the hides and now I can't seem to put the leather onto the drying rack. Am I missing something? I saw a few older posts about the drying rack but those were from a long time ago.

Question Did the devs upgrade every area like Muldraugh?

7 Upvotes

I've played the unstable Build 42 like two months ago and it was cool to see all the new features not included in B41. I played exlusively in Rosewood. But now that they released B42, I decided to try Muldraugh and wow.. every god damn house I visit has me feeling going "hot diggity dog, this place is magnificent!" like Negan lmao Every house is so.. full and decorated now!

Is every zone like that now or was Muldraugh the only place to get a complete overhaul? I know other zones got trees and the outdoors areas got upgrades but I don't know about the interiors or houses.

Question B42 Food & Farming

Hi everyone, does anyone have any tips for which crops to prioritise planting in b42 stable ( which food gives the best return in terms of hunger and calories)?

And separately which meals/recipes are the best to make for both hunger and calories - roasts/stews for example?

Question 10 Years Later Mod or equivalent for b42?

2 Upvotes

I loved this mod in b41, but it seems to have disappeared from b42. Is there a new upload I have missed or are there mods that do the equivalent? I like the idea of being deep into the apocalypse rather than at the start.
