How Good Is Tailoring?

[@tommeakin1732]

I thought I'd finally got into a position to grind tailoring for the second time in 700+ hours. I've got the first three books, and I thought ahead and shredded a whole load of clothing...but I realised I lack one thing.... A needle. The one game that I can't find a needle. Sometimes I wonder if there's a dev just watching me in real time, playing sadistic DM ; - ;

[@russellarndorfer4713]

Yeah... this is why mods are almost necessary for a somewhat reliable level of grind and sustainability. Hydrocraft, despite being somewhat inconsistent in drops when scavenging out in the world, is the only thing I've found that reliable allows me to obtain necessary items without RNG, and with semi-legitimate tasks. It's a whole rabbit hole of recipes and items, but it gives you a lot of freedom and gives the game a lot more levels. If you get it, a wishbone (which can be found by hunting ducks/chickens) can be used to make a bone needle/knitting needles.

[@FumbleSquid]

On my current MP playthrough we found like 5 needles lol. Zombies just had sowing kits for some reason

[@Embattled5211]

In my game a suture needle can be turned into a regular needle, but I don't see anything about it on the wiki. I don't think I have any mods that would specifically add that recipe, but ymmv.

Man tailoring is a skill many don't pay attention to, but it ends up saving you a lot of times. One time I managed to get it at level 10, patched my desert camo outfit in leather patches and it saved me from 3 attacks in a row because that goddam violin sound freaked me out, making me open chrome by accident.

Army Coat, Long Johns and Overalls are god-tier when it comes to tailoring, just by how much they cover. With level 10, you can have ~70 bite / 100 scratch protection on your entire body* (with the exception of neck and hands).

[@ItsRevival]

@Salt Meister I think it gives neck protection

[@MsHojat]

@Salt Meister Only benefit of the army coat is that its penalties are less. And since movement doesn't matter currently, it's just the attack speed that is gained (and I never even tested if it works, but I presume it does).

[@Myxril]

Tailoring is even more powerful when used with the mod that lets you cut strips into thread, turn thread into twine, and twine into rope (and in reverse with a material loss). Having turbo-patched clothing is great, and so is having enough rope to bundle up and haul the small field of trees you just cut down. :p Especially with a big box van.

I've basically compiled a list of different clothing that gives you the best stock protection, and then layer everything with leather strips. Basically, you create the armor of god! 😁 And I've stockpiled around 100 denim and leather strips so far, as well as around 600 ripped sheets!

[@Aquilla24]

Remember that as long as you play single player you can easily manipulate time to incease tailoring grind speed. Just enable "resume normal speed when timed actions complete" under "accessibility" game options tab and then hit F6 (fast forward x3) right after you click to apply/remove patches. Doing that tailoring is always the first skill I hit level 10 at. Works for grinding other skills, like reloading, too!

[@Charlie_probably...]

Could you do a video on horde/swarm dynamics? Like how they come to together, how they move, how the leader is determined, and how many there can be?

[@Prefix1998]

They really should change the look of the patches at least for when you get a high enough level so it looks more like proper added padding instead of looking like a hobo's clothes.

[@crazymanmot]

I noticed that a back stab always seems to target the least protected part and I think it is a guaranteed break through regardless of resistance. Also, I am not sure but it seems like zombies still tend to attack the least protected body part. From the multiple times I have ran around in full protection on most parts but I seem to keep getting hit in the neck, hands, and groin where I lack layers something like 8/10 times when attacked from the front. I have mostly abandoned heavy protection for light weight gear. As a side note in my tests I found that weapon skill block chance is allot more effective in preventing death.

[@boombeepboomboop]

Yes, this I also get the same thing, covered everything except hands, I would say 9 out of 10 times i get hit in the hands, cover everything except neck, again I was getting hit the most in the neck to the point it made me put my gloves away and switch my pants to long denim shorts just so I uncover more parts and not die in 30 seconds cuz of neck bleeding. (Idk if it does matter but I play single player and with infection disabled, someone must test this some more)

[@Retanaru]

100% as soon as I layered up I swear I got bit in the neck 6 times in a row. I'll best testing it at some point.

[@TheFawkesGaming]

I think there's a genuine reason for this which isn't what you're thinking; namely, you'll only notice getting hit in these areas more because they're the spots you're taking body damage and not armour damage. The game is pretty sadistic so it wouldn't surprise me if the zombies have something in their AI that makes them favour the juicy spots, but a lot of it is just a form of survivorship bias I think.

[@alittoralgecko4562]

Great video. I'd love to see you cover fishing. It seems pretty self-explanatory at face-value, but I'm like 90% sure there's no meaningful difference between fishing with tackle and using a spear, despite it being very easy to assume otherwise.

[@gallantsteel8542]

I recently had a game where I had my tailoring to level 10 and patched everything up with leather strips. It was my first game with level 10 tailoring. After that, I decided to go on a food looting run in residential houses while leveling up my electrical skill to level 3 to carry with me a washing machine (you need electrical level 3 to pick up a washing machine) Once I got on the third house, I decided to put my looted stuff in the trunk but because inventory management takes a long time in this game, I sped up the game. A group of three zombies suddenly came at me and bit my hand, the one part that's least protected to bites. So i thought I'd just try to kill as many zombies as possible to get their thread before my character gets infected so I can give all the thread to my new character and have him level up his tailoring. But my attack speed with melee weapons were so bad with my bitten arm so I couldn't farm too much and my firearm selection wasn't too good either.

I love how concise your videos are.

[@johnsullivan186]

There isn’t a strong argument for thick skinned. You want to take perks that will actively be helping you not ones that *might* help you when you’ve put yourself in a bad spot. Thin skinned is the go to because it’ll allow you to take perks that will make it so you don’t get bitten in the first place. If you wanted numbers I believe it decreases the chance of zombies breaking the skin by 2.5% or around the amount of a leather patch. Thin skinned of course does the opposite.

[@drakedaemon]

@@johnsullivan186 I think thick skinned is a 30-40% increase to your base chance to avoid taking damage from an attack. Does it scale with weapon skill? The way that's its worded seems to suggest that it does. And how does it affect the distribution of scratches, bites and lacerations? I think the chance for clothing to absorb an attack is rolled separately, but that would also mean that thick skinned also has the marginal benefit of keeping your precious long johns free of holes.

I use the AutoSewing mod to do the grinding automatically. No more click-fest.

[@Retanaru]

There's a similar mod for mechanic that is also a life saver.

[@MsHojat]

Sewing isn't much of a click fest though. For getting the sheets and thread you just select "rip clothing > all" on a pile of corpses. Then for patching get a leather jacket (or long Johns), inspect, then select "add padding to all". you really won't need many clicks, but you will have to perform those 2 clicks every 40 seconds or so. Is that all the mod does? reduce the 4 clicks a minute to closer to 0 clicks a minute? I think mods that makes tailoring easier is not good (at least in a public multiplayer sense, or for anyone who wants an equal difficulty as other players get) since it devalues the huge benefit that the Sewer trait gives, but if all AutoSewing does is make you click 50 less times then I don't see it as much of a problem.

[@duende29]

@@MsHojat The mod only makes it so that your character performs the patching and removing automatically by having a "Train Tailoring" button.

hey man, how do u spawn in clothing and other stuff with debug mode? can u do a video on that?

[@lobizon119]

I wish they improve the graphics of the patches.

[@Hugo-xz1im]

Does clothing/patches increase protection against firearms?

[@lifeisgoodga]

do you get a different amount of xp depending on patch material - sheets, denim, leather?

[@humanhamburger]

No

[@joueey]

Hey and what abou metalwork and electrical?

[@Goozeeeee]

If I could find a damn needle

[@RoseDragoness]

to me it seems people dont like tailoring for two reasons: leveling it is tedious and you have to keep repatching clothing when the patchings get torn. They go wear firefighter jacket and only ditch it on 20% durability or something, thinking as if it behave as other games durability system. Noooooo! all clothings when they get damaged means that part of body it was damaged is not protected at all!

[@Retanaru]

What's funny is you can repair the clothes after it gets torn which is way better than hunting for more on zombies. The major hate for tailoring is that they all seem to use it and then promptly run to their death thinking they are protected and then publicly declare tailoring bad.

[@Clawhammer_]

Prayer flicking? Why didn't I think of that? Those zombies aren't gonna know what hit 'em.

[@prisca9406]

Even with respawn settings set to 0.0, respawn unseen hours set to 0.0 and respawn multiplier set to 0.0, I've noticed when I fire off guns that zombies will spawn in places where I'm not looking on occasion. I tried asking about it on the PZ discord but nobody has given me answers before, so here's my hail mary to see if I can get help. Maybe it's a mod, I doubt it since I have no mods that should be affecting spawn rates, but I'm asking anyway; do you know if zombies will spawn in tiles not in your view-cone after you've shot a firearm?

[@Retanaru]

As far as I know, migrating zombies get moved into the zone using the same rules as spawning zombies.

[@prisca9406]

@@Retanaru I'm more worried about actual spawns. On my last save game I was about two months in and I was still killing dozens of fire fighters while my base was set up in the Rosewood FD. While firing off a gun, too, while in the parking lot I'd turn around and a zombie would just appear by a wall where there had been none before. It's an oddity, and perhaps I don't have a firm enough grasp of the respawn system, but it weirded me out. Especially when before I had been firing the area around it had been devoid of all but five zombies, only for maybe fifty or sixty to appear after I'd fired the gun. Tbh I'm probably overthinking it and not considering that guns make a lot of noise, but it weirded me out enough to ask.

[@Retanaru]

​@@prisca9406 Imagine it this way. There's over 100k zombies on the map. Anytime you clear out zombies the game starts moving zombies from outside of that chunk into it, and the only real check is whether zombies could walk to that position without having the break something down. You shoot your gun and virtual zombies hear it, now the game puts them at the edge of your chunk. Is that any different from zombies spawning? No. It doesn't matter if you turned off respawns. There is an near unlimited number of zombies for you to kill.

[@prisca9406]

@@Retanaru That makes a lot more sense, thank you.

[@MindplexLekker17]

​@@Retanaru i dont know. I tested this in debug mode - cleared one chunck and fastworward one month and only 10 zombies arriwed. This was with no respawn settings. Maybe debug mode breaking something.

[@thepay128]

What is that mod in the beginning showing an icon over your head after being successfully hit?

[@Retanaru]

It's not a mod, I edited the protect from melee prayer from runescape over my head to show I was taking no damage. Its just a reference to osrs and prayer flicking.
