Farming and Foraging! | Project Zomboid Build 42 | Ep 16

[@ArgentKnight1]

Awesome! I have a chicken named after me!

[@Vulrhund]

Well deserved! First month in and you've got your own chook, not a bad feat!

[@lysiah3383]

Broken legs are rough! They take 2-4 Weeks to heal. You can reduce it greatly when well fed and leveling some first Aid skill! But i think there is not too much time left on yours :) When the pain moodlet disappears, you know its not toooo much longer :3 Great EP!

[@Vulrhund]

Think I'm coming up to week 4 so it's only a matter of time! I've been trying to stay well fed as much as possible but sustaining myself on road kill isn't the best way :D I'm definitely moving faster so it's not faaaaar off thank god

[@brenocavala]

Yes. It takes long time tô heal. I played like 4 real life days with a broken leg character too and had fun with its temporary disabilitie, so saddly real 😅!

[@JerrybigRed]

Loving the videos, just subscribed. I also settled the diner location on my current run, who knew zombiod stardew valley would be so fun! A firepit in the gated spot next to the garage works great as opposed to the propane grill, its safe with the gate closed and right next to unlimited wood. I also found a crate of nails (8 boxes) in one of the farm home sheds straight across from rosewood.

[@Vulrhund]

Aye welcome to the channel man! It’s such a good spot isn’t it, I like the idea of the fire pit too, good open space. There’s a backup grill I’ve got my eyes on but I’m desperate for a generator. Once the legs better a book store or school is stop number one!

[@JerrybigRed]

@@Vulrhund Found out grills are the way to go the hard way, My chicken ran through the fire pit, caught fire and ran straight into the garage and burned down the entire diner last night. I don't think you could script a more hilarious way to lose a safehouse. Ill need to get a tent from your new camp store video now lol

[@mickynixon3117]

Just a tip, unless you want chick's hatching in the fridge, cook the egg's as you get them. Funky glitch. Your run is going much better then my couple tries. Loving it buddy!

[@Vulrhund]

I’m yet to see any hatch at all and it’s very sad, I want those little chicks on the move! I’ve been pretty lucky with the bum leg I’m just avoiding zeds, low chance of death when you avoid them :D

Vulrhund the chicken king 😂

[@Vulrhund]

Hahaha have to change my name to big AL before long :D

[@Retro-Iron11]

Here's another hot tip for exploration. When you go to that gun store up north on the Dixie highway, take the immediate left off the highway just past the fuel station/diner then take the next right. Remember to take your cowboy hat and boots along with any 6 shooters you find at the gun store. It'll be a nice little vacation spot for you.

[@Vulrhund]

Haha sounds like a fun trip! I have no idea where you mean on the Dixie highway though, gonna need full explanations on this one it’s been a long time since I’ve used a map!

[@Retro-Iron11]

@@Vulrhund Where you were talking about the gun store 15:00 . The dixie highway is the main highway system. Just head back towards mad dans den and keep going north. You'll come to an area that was in b41, the right side of the highway is the camping and gun store, the left is a farm and the fuel station/diner. BTW, that whole chicken you were trying to cook, you can further cut that into fillets and wings.

[@DeltaV3328]

#10 for the win.! Nobody wants to be fourth anymore, that's so 2024.

Im glad you took my advice on naming the chickens. Sad i wssnt picked. Hopefully next time. Love the gameplay. Hope you are feeling better.

[@Vulrhund]

It was a spur of the moment thing for the members names, you just caught it an episode early :D Moving to subscribers isn't a bad idea though for when we run out!

[@thezombieman72]

I think you can build stairs with logs now early carpentry level

[@Vulrhund]

No way really? I’ll have to have a look, thanks!

[@thezombieman72]

@Vulrhund yeah saw another youtuber do it

[@Retro-Iron11]

Tin can lookup, you jumped right over it; can reinforced weapon.

[@Vulrhund]

Can reinforce? Now that sounds dreamy

[@Retro-Iron11]

@@Vulrhund Something to keep the tin cans for. You'll need a screw, a rag, a medium handle and the tin can. The recipe for it too of course. Nice short blunt. You can make long versions too iirc. Smack them zombies with the soup can.

[@creakyjoints2024]

Makes a gate for the chicken run. Absolutely refuses to use it most of the time.😅😂

[@Vulrhund]

Even with a fractured leg, just slings his way straight over :D

[@Knowmad76]

I think the chickens need the small water trough.

[@Vulrhund]

I’ll double check it today but I’m sure their water level has been going down. Definitely worth a check either way!

[@Retro-Iron11]

lol, gate is right there, bro with the broken leg jumps the fence instead. Complains leg won't heal.

[@Vulrhund]

I was hoping the “walk to” command would work instead he just slings himself straight over without a care :D

[@derricktarver6100]

if you cook the mushrooms with some lemon grass you might just get sick and not full on die. go heavy on the lemon grass

[@Vulrhund]

Does mixing lemon grass in recipes do that? I thought it was just a post illness thing, get it to counteract but I'm all ears if it does work!

[@CrystalBrewtonIndieAuthor]

Aww Big Red is adorable! A fracture takes time, but be happy you can walk on it no problem. You got that much at least. Can you open the coop with the water trough right there? I'm a city gal, so I have no clue LOL Can you start orchards yet? Fresh fruit and nuts.

[@Vulrhund]

He’s the cutest isn’t he! Guys a little legend! I’ve gotten very lucky I can still manipulate it by crouching, keeps the pace up in a jam! I can! The coops are pretty accessible all round in game but I don’t think you’d be able to in real life, would be a big stretch that’s for sure :D I’m praying for apple trees but I’m yet to find any!

[@verifor]

5th feathered fowl!

[@Vulrhund]

[@thetrueking8928]

Man this busted leg sure is taking forever to heal. Makes you never want to climb up anything ever again. Defiantly need to do some literature hunting. There’s so much to craft

[@Vulrhund]

Taking it's sweet time isn't it, only plus side is being able to play with farming. Soon as it's done I'm either heading to the gun store or smashing some books, can't wait for it!

[@maxfredmustermanfred627]

Eat a lot to heal faster. Keep the green food moodle up. But watch your weight gain as it can skyrocket.

[@Vulrhund]

That's exactly what I've been trying to do but with the lack of food and difficulty moving, getting to a gigamart is hard work! It's almost been a month, only a matter of time!

[@maxfredmustermanfred627]

@@Vulrhund Best thing in your situation would be fishing if you can. It would also spare your leg from action. Make some nice dishes out of fishes :D

[@HellaKazoo]

ah...hand scythe, makes sense. I wonder if there is a recipe to add a handle and make the long scythe.

[@Vulrhund]

I wish, would almost turn into a hook pole with how short the blade is :D

[@randomhero6365]

The fracture lasting a month is crazy. Also generator currently dont power anything underground

[@Vulrhund]

I know it’s a killer, no idea how he’s still limping! I did hear that too I’m praying it’s fixed by the time I get down there

[@chadwickerman]

I recently moved from my remote house and settled in the Rosewood fire station but I'm starting to think that might have been a bad decision in build 42. The power just went out and it is so so dark in there with the lower windows barricaded and there are no windows in the roll-up doors like in your base. Even opening the roll-up doors doesn't shed any light in the back where my store rooms are at. I might need to move to a two story house before I run out of batteries.

[@Vulrhund]

Yeah a base like that these days is pretty much unlivable without a generator. Too much room to cover and no where near enough openings to be able to pull it off, I bid you the best luck my friend!

[@Drie_Kleuren]

you should really try to figure out what larger animails give milk. Because with milk you can make butter, Butter is really good for calories. idk if its only cows, or if you can also milk sheep and goats and turn their products into butter. I have not done it myself, I have not messed or played with animails at all XD I just heard butter was easy to make and its very OP. I am still living off my broken soda can strateties with pouring 10ml and drinking that XD. I also just abusing the infinite butchering glitch to gain loads of meat for calories lol.

[@Vulrhund]

I’d assume those 3 should, goats at least. I’m yet to see any! Butter is a beast though the calories are unreal, I’d love to get on the butter churning! The eggs will suffice for now :D Haha it’s so powerful isn’t it, I’m yet to try it but one of the guys in the discord has made it super tempting :D don’t tempt me with the infinite rabbits either I can’t!

[@Retro-Iron11]

Sheep and cows.

[@WilliamTheMovieFan]

Second!

[@Vulrhund]

Go on boy with the silver!

[@Good4HealthBad5Education]

Calorie management is a pain, you burn the same number of calories no matter if you're running or walking. There's a mod that slows walking/standing still calorie burn that makes it a bit more manageable. Maybe you can just start churning butter 😂

[@Vulrhund]

Nightmare isn't it? Feels like the toughest job of them all and it should be the simplest! That mod sounds good, makes a whole lot of sense. You're not the first to mention butter churning either!

[@nickg77]

A fracture w slow healer will definitely last over a month 😭

[@Vulrhund]

Ah man it's a killer! Can't wait for it to get cleared up

[@Retro-Iron11]

You got to quit taking grass from the chicken area, they'll leave.

[@Vulrhund]

They’ll leave? I’m only chopping back the long grass it should grow back over time

[@Retro-Iron11]

@@Vulrhund Yea, just don't scythe with the real proper one and clear the whole floor in the coop. Animals need grass floors or they'll go out to where the grass floors are. Yea, goes against the whole feeding trough thing. Plenty of grass just outside the coop, like the whole worlds worth. :)

Hey I discovered you want to be butchering rabbits and above. I gained levels 1+2 (book boosted) with 3 rabbits yesterday. Ok the thing is yea, you get a bit from the meat etc, the big xp is the "get bones from skeleton". That was the xp beast.

[@Vulrhund]

Butchering is currently my highest skill, pushing level 3 without books and I’m just starting to get a few more “average” cuts, we’re getting there! Good to know about the bones though, I’ve been gathering them all but that’s a huge help!
