What did I say I called it when you put that community post up. Amazed how long you lived!

[@RobThaDestroyer]

burnt food.

[@jeremybarrett3616]

Shit,sorry to hear about your SSD man.:/

[@roptroinmortal7104]

I just think you can put wood floor and if you take It out you have a tile of dirt you can use (sorry 4 bad english)

[@thakal5140]

[@mjg2008121]

Whenever PL has to kill 1000 zombies.... no problem Whenever PL has to actually cook something and not get distracted.... 99% chance of failure

[@nerfherder4284]

Yeah, come the apocalypse, keep Lime away from the oven 😂

[@daleyfun2247]

I swear he burns food Everytime he tries to cook

[@MoikHorst]

actualy he would burn water if he try xD and he still burned his ssd :D

[@jeremybarrett3616]

Yep. Distractible would be the flaw. Making a drawback that gives a chance to fail time related tasks would be pretty rough in Zomboid actually. Maybe make the time bars go at random speeds when not looking at them in game.

[@terrydavis5924]

I was less amazed that it happened, am more amazed at the sheer amount he decided to do at once. An average survivor could spread that much meat out to eat all week, and even if the power did go out all he'd have to do is make a campfire out of some busted shelves.

[@DatNoobDoe]

There's something almost depressing about Lime's trapped survivors just trying to cling on to and survive where they used to live and work before the apocalypse. Hoping there might be a rescue coming or that the whole thing will just blow over as the weeks turn to months and food and water supplies start to run low.

[@R4in46]

Ikr right, this video in particular was depressing, a girl trapped in the place where she used to work, eating and sleeping all day, living among the garbage and waiting for a rescue that never came

[@Strideo1]

He should have ended it with her being forced to venture out like Chester from the Trailer Park Challenge.

[@R4in46]

@@Strideo1 I agree, instead of dying of hunger, thirst or suicide she should have ended up leaving

[@sefy5082]

Meanwhile there's Claudette having and absolutely wonderful time.

[@MakusinMeringue]

Chester will pick her up for sure.

[@InternetHydra]

ALWAYS monitor when cooking multiple things at once! Side note, don't let the data loss let you down. Moving on right away to the next gimmick is good mindset, and I'm sure no one would mind if a new ice world run was started at some point.

[@alexburgdorf419]

Id watch another ice world start

[@Adrian-oh1ds]

I'd love another ice world start

[@ajbygo]

The sad reality of a zombie apocalypse. Not everyone is the cool action hero. Some people are just that, regular people. Melodie stuck herself in her place of employment, a GigaMart, knowing it would have supplies until rescue came, and also not wanting to brave the outside world, she just couldn't bring herself to leave. She stockpiled and counted. Then waited. A day turned to 2. 2 turned to 3, then into a week, then into a month. Melodie told herself that help would come any day now as she was now locked on the 2nd floor, not even daring to go down. She watched her supplies start dwindling away, the water start running dry, the cans now piling up. Without electricity, and leaving August, it got colder. Melodie got sick from the cold, maybe it would be better to go out like this, but she knew help would come any day now. Melodie sat at her window and watched day turn to night repeatedly, even as October fell upon her. Nothing. Not only was there no sign of rescue, there was no sign of life. Not a scream, not a gunshot, no distant helicopters or jets. Just the stray shamblers, walking the halls of the GigaMart in place of her coworkers, out in the parking lots and the roads. Nevertheless, it was eat, drink, sleep, repeat. She had rationed everything down to the last bite. So desperate for water that she braved the downstairs to catch some in watering cans outside. Any day now, things would go back to the way they used to be, she knew it. Sick from tainted water, depressed with no form of real entertainment or outlet, tired, hungry, and thirsty, Melodie looked at her now barren supplies. October 30th, if her watch was to be correct. Her mind went back to the day before Halloween the previous year. Kids picking out costumes, parents buying candy, instead of the likelihood that every single person in that memory is most likely a corpse walking the street. Maybe they've been lucky enough to be killed by someone, to not be cursed as one of those things until the end of time. It's been over 3 months, approaching on 4. Out of food, water, and options, as the night fell, she watched her final sunset. She wanted to go out on her terms. Help was not coming, maybe she was the last one and humanity died with her. As she leapt out the second story window, she was ready to be done with it. At least she won't be one of them. This is how she died. Honestly, this is why I love project zomboid. It's the perfect zombie survival game. Every character a story to be told in their own apocalypse. Some people stuck on the roofs of Louisville, living in a trailer park, or against 1 zombie that is hunting them. Idk why this video hit me so hard, this is such a harrowing reflecting on what life would be for some "survivors." Starving, alone, going insane due to not having anything to do.

I wish there were more comments like this tbh, this is such an amazing drabble you wrote omfg

[@kaitlynboss3497]

Damn, you actually got me tearing up at the end there. Beautiful writing, congratulations. This is going to stick with me for the rest of the day.

[@ajbygo]

Thanks, I don't know what made me comment this. Was just in the mood.@@milkman4743

[@R4in46]

This was really depressing, no one should live like this, but well I guess that was the real zombie apocalypse experience

[@ThatKobold1351]

From what I saw, if you had gotten a hammer and saw you could have gotten more water from rain collectors. You could have maybe even farmed in that grass next to the windows!

[@goodgenes0]

he had well enough water i think unless he were to try farming to extend his life even more

[@TroyBrophy]

Not sure you could get Carpentry to level 4 without books and only a few things to disassemble.

[@wiktor2831]

​@@TroyBrophynot level 3?

[@TheIziPizi]

​@@wiktor2831yup level 4 is minimum. You can get it with carpenter and handy at the start, but he chose not to minmax it.

[@Lemonzsz]

Wouldn't you need to EXIT the building to place the collectors?

[@gazzmania150]

This story idea is pretty realistic Because we all know service jobs would be forced to attend work even during an apocalypse

[@serazik7910]

Safe to say that this was the saddest 100 days I’ve seen in Project Zomboid

[@StmpnkKoala]

Dying from jumping out a window in the middle of the night during a zombie apocalypse on Halloween is fucking poetic.

[@briannaherrington949]

Survival in a Gigamart? Sounds like an homage to Cornfed Willy

[@briannaherrington949]

Also, it's either a Black Friday sale or everyone just reeeaally wants to see the manager lmao

[@annefrankenstein9290]

RIP Cornfed Willy

[@SentretPeanut]

This is my favorite comment ever lol

[@grimnir8872]

A new challenge idea to sort of feed into both the Vintage story and Zomboid together would also be combining two of your older challenges runs. Can you do a Winter run of starting in the forest in zomboid?

[@markbilobrov2814]

Bro went "hello internet welcome to food theory"

[@cilliers1919]

Adding the parking lot (even just a small bit) would maybe make this more sustainable? And water containers on the roof?

[@philsoro491]

I instantly recognized CO.AGs track when it was played in the background. It's so good

[@saladmancer4802]

Honestly wouldnt mind seeing a normal playthrough of vintage story. Its insanely interesting to watch

[@theworkshopwhisperer.5902]

This is my favourite kind of challenge in any survival game with complex systems as it always makes you find some obscure mechanic you've never used before to become the cornerstone of your survival. Then in the future when things get bad you can think back about how you were able to survive with far less and use it to survive longer.

[@rocker_kitty3807]

Wow almost 100 days, impressive in its own right! Poor Melodie couldn't adjust to the new order of things and it slowly wore her spirit down. You know there would be plenty of people like this in a real disaster situation and while not a pleasant experience, it is good to remember the next time you make an action hero. Thanks for showing us this Lime! We'll always support you despite any curveballs technology throws at you.

[@Allicrocogator]

I was so hyped when I saw your poll the other day. Hype train!!

[@cawareyoudoin7379]

God, what a terribly depressing run... If you at least had some soil, you could try farming, but to be honest, it would only prolong the misery. Girl, you live like this, indeed.

[@this_is_patrick]

This video would've been perfect to have a cloud storage service as a sponsor haha.

[@Moredread25]

I'm glad we got an answer to this question in one episode. I hope you do more one shots like this.

[@tylerhicks3896]

Glad you weren't with anyone or else they'd cook YOU for burning all that damn food lmao. Great vid!

[@V_Drawin]

The funny irony of a manager being a sole survivor of his own super market

[@lydierayn]

I reall hope once npcs come out, characters like this could be found. Would be so cool. Such an amazing story elemwnts

[@danese1636]

The zombies have come to speak with the store's manager. How many undead Karens can Melodie Jenkins fight off?

[@RedwoodAmaril]

really good simulation that shows a person has to be proactive or stagnate

[@montyshark3993]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS FOR THE VODS!

[@Brandon34098]

you could grind carpentry make it to the rooftops and produce fertilizer from many things, start a farm you might have access to dirt from inside if you allow reaching through the windows, harvest zombies similar to the tile challenge for resources maybe use electronics to make noise could make a watch noise bomb from zombie digital watches to have a location auto collect zombies, with mods could set up metal production fortify the windows with bars create fancy spears to secure the giga mart and rename it to something like the giga fortress but i imagine the pain from such a challenge would drive anyone insane also could forage the indoor tiles but i doubt that would yield much more than more pain

[@upi556]

PLEASE DOMT TELL ME WE LOST OUR ICE SERIES.

[@Allicrocogator]

Sadly his hard drive died D:

We did unfortunately 😢

​@@Allicrocogator ermm its actually his solid state drive (ssd) that died. also it isnt "hard drive" its "hard disk drive" (hdd) 🤓🤓🤓

[@bad-people6510]

"We were able to salvage some ground beef and meat patties, so it's not the end of the world." I mean... it literally is.

[@cesarandres700]

"8:28 i forgot to check the trash cans for other containers" somehow forgets that the trash can itself can be turned into one, and there are like 5 xD

[@deatho0ne587]

If you could have made it to the roof I think you could have made it a bit longer if the grabbing dirt from outside still a thing. In real life if you were trapped in some of the bigger stores that have groceries, plants, dirt, and other stuff. It might be INF as long as you do not go bored out of your mind.

[@Puppymen-gk9if]

6:38 like zoinks scoob another zomboid video

[@Retanaru]

Yo give this guy some algorithm love to make up for the data loss.

[@iiiii5256]

to make this challenge long term the game area has to include the gigamart parking lot, or theres no place to collect rain and dispose dead bodies.

[@Shadowgun453]

Maybe to make it easier, maybe some access to the parking lot as it is still part of the super market.

[@twocvbloke]

At least there was no "water recycling" going on, going all bear grylls on re-using certain yellow water supplies... :P

[@Pyxis10]

Lemonade? 🤪

[@degreesix8157]

If I remember right I once saw a glitch in someone else’s PZ video where if you remove the flooring you can get dirt underneath, but I don’t remember the steps. If one did that glitch, and had seeds, the survival time could increase dramatically.

[@tibbywibby]

i love limes videos, the whole vibe is just “what if we had a guy and we put him in a Situation”

[@Kittyinshadows]

Is there any way to pull up the floor? or break a ceiling tile? If you could just catch rain and plant she could go even longer :O Really Impressive tho that you can get that far as is!

[@nahson7192]

I expected to last you quite some time, but I didn't expect you to last almost into the new year with rationing! Just shows how much raw food is in one single city...if you manage to get to it early enough that is

[@kaclang]

Letsgooo, I’ve been waiting for the vod upload announcement forever

[@xTHHxTuspot14]

Why dose he sound like “A Wolf in Vr” it crazy how they sound and talk is exactly the alike

Did not expect that ending.

[@Obsidian_Gargantuan_Leviathan]

R.I.P. Grug from vintage story. atleast he got his permanent home

[@Bart230]

You should get yourself some Raid 1, so an SSD failure doesn't destroy your data.

[@sauceboss2210]

Nothing like suffering for 5 months inside a supermarket over the course of 5 hours to make you appreciate the time you have in the real world

[@Teknotion]

Sorry for your data loss. Just remember, mechanical drives still have a place in the world. :)

[@robertboyce4806]

yYAAAAYYHHhh! You're back! Great episode!

[@JonathanMeyerink]

Should have broke down some furniture for planks, gathered some garbage bags and made a rain catcher. Could put it on a balcony and fill them up with tap water

[@rorixdragonblade8480]

Gigamarts do spawn in Gigachad into this world.

[@phizzle711]

Bag of dried beans and a can of coke is going into my lunchbox tomorrow!

[@MeatballSubZ]

Okay, you could get to a year if you cook meals with a frying pan and make stir-fry’s, or salads. It doesn’t take the whole item, and you get almost all the food from it. More calories as well. I’ve tried it myself and made it about a year, I actually died from burning a rat and eating it, and I still had a week-3 weeks worth of food left.

[@midnighter4594]

Rip Vintage Story Press *F* to pay respects

[@akiamini4006]

My mans lime was on that depressive grind

[@briarrose8631]

Nice experiment!!! I bet if you set up a trap box on the bottom floor for zombies to kill them off slowly an loot them it could have lasted a little longer. Hopefully found one with a gun, if lucky maybe one with seeds on them for gardening. Granted that means using resources outside of the building but if the zombie dies inside the perimeter I personally would count that as lootable. I'm def gonna try this next time my guy dies :)

[@amraa23]

This remind me of Food theory's video about surviving in the supermarket

[@crozowblade]

Amazon warehouse would be pretty fun to see.

[@SammiesZomboid]

should rename the video to "How long Can You SURVIVE working at the average kentucky walmart

[@EpicProportions88]

Love the blue smock she's wearing! Nice touch!

[@projectrodrick]

Imagine going to an interview and the apocople starts

[@captainbloodloss1]

theres a lower limit to dehydration so eating all the dry food at once and only then drinking could theoretically save water

[@guesswho2778]

that mountain of cans would have gotten a good chunk of water in the rain

[@NotSoGoodGamer69]

I thought he was going to rhyme thriving "but what if instead of just surviving you were thriving hey Vsauce micheal here"

[@aaronhelmsman]

I feel like this challenge would greatly benefit from a shopping cart mod...

[@myrrhs01]

Jonathan Coulton has the perfect song for this. Re: Your Brains. … I don't want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan? Spend your whole life locked inside a mall? Maybe that's okay for now, but someday you'll be out of food and guns Then you'll have to make the call I'm not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough You never had the head for all that bigger-picture stuff

[@TheChaoticEntertainment]

I swear to christ I'm making a compilation of you burning your food, Lime.

[@Bart230]

Now do the Louisville mall with 6 months of power and water.

[@hookwsgaming]

pick up floor > dismantle wood > grab dirt

although i think you need crowbar for that type of flooring.

You'd think most people would leave at some point. I know it defeats the challenge but...

[@Triple88a]

You could have planted food on the west side of the store which has grass.

[@ptolemaicfoxxo3032]

This is the saddest challenge, theres literally no winning, your just seeing how long the clock can tick before it breaks down XD

[@1856-g5s]

I quite literally just passed that mart in my playthrough 18 minutes ago

[@TriCutNinja]

Oh no! It sucks when a SSD dies, sorry to hear that happened to you :(

[@squadcraftmce802]

Kind of reminds me of Monument 14, If anyone's heard of that

[@cgourin]

I'm a self certified arm chair zombie survival expert. I would not have chosen a supermarket as survival base (risk of violent looters) but it is what it is. What the game doesn't give you: These establishments usually have a back up generator with at minimum enough to power the fridges for 2 runs to get more fuel. One big fridge tipped flat on the ground could serve as a big water container. The security lamps could be harvested as a make shift flash light. The mandatory fire extinguishing system holds quite a lot of water. The flat usually metal roof could be pierced to harvest water probably also a roof access to write in big HELP!!!

[@clothar23]

As someone who works Fire Prevention I can firmly tell you that any water in the Sprinkler Systems is going to need a lot of treatment before it's potable. And that's assuming it's a wet system, i.e filled with water at all time. And not a dry system, i.e only flooded during an alarm event, It's pretty common for interior spaces to have wet systems since you don't have to worry about it freezing. But that isn't a hard or fast rule.

[@cgourin]

@@clothar23 fair point, yet an industrial kitchen has vents with active charcoal filters similar to the ones used to treat water. I will let you know that I wear at all times a UN approved Brad Pitt scarf sir!

[@Moxiecore]

I have enjoyed this, not everything needs to be weeks long series!

[@Slightquills]

I mean, if you could somehow get to the roof, and manage to make compost or get soil up there growing food could be a thing, but I feel like without a TV to improve carpentry that would be impossible.

you can take a cooking pot and make stew or soup with all your canned food

[@someoneontheinternet6671]

If I was to pick a place in the zombie apocalypse to be stuck in it would be my local Walmart one I work there I know the layout pretty well two it has a green house attached to the building with a metal fence covering top and bottom so nothings getting in except rain and sun meaning renewable food and water plus all the stock even if the shelves get ransacked the back of the store would still be loaded with canned goods and early perishables it has access too both guns and melee weapons daily comforts like furniture blankets pillows, medicines just about everything you could possibly need in one building the only struggle would be clearing the building as it’s Walmart it’s gonna be packed but if I get through that I could easily block the entrances and then it’s just me in there with tons of canned and imperishable food while getting the farming set up there’s gardening tools and bags of fertilizer seeds plus when produce expires I could use them for seeds and one of the best crop potato’s there’s grills with propane and charcoal to boil and cook food tons of clean water while gathering rain water in the back ground like in my Walmart it’s completely possible to live your whole life there Edit: if I wasn’t trapped I would also have access to two gas stations a hardware store with live chicks and rabbits get there early enough and save them and immediately have livestock + there’s a nearby dollar tree and family dollar and a appliance store all these stores have back up generators plus residential generators Walmart also has a mechanic spot and the sheer amount of cars that would make transportation easier in the early years plus bikes in Walmart for when gas is bad also additional guns and bows in the hardware store Literally only struggle is clearing it out cuz there would be a good hundred+ zombies most likely
