Pro tip: Be cautious of entering a vehicle with an interior like an RV for the first time. While not often, like any other building zombies CAN spawn into them. Especially if you found your new mobile home in a high-population area like West point. Just be ready for a close-quarter fight in the dark when first entering one, afterward it should stay clear.

[@sebbediah]

Oh damn, never knew about this one! Thank you 🫡😁✨✨

[@TalesOfWar]

It's always fun finding one in the bathroom.

[@dronodendronn]

THEYRE IN THE WOOOODS THEYRE IN THE RV

[@mykeusgaming1510]

Yeah last night I ran into this, didn’t know it was a thing and instantly got bit

[@rob-rendell]

If you set up a hotkey to enter/leave your vehicle interior (requires Mod Options mod as well as the RV Interior mod), you can effectively "door flash" when you enter a new vehicle interior by going in and then straight out again.

[@Austin-sw3mf]

If you find crayons, you automatically have access to all map color options. Something I learned like 2 months ago and felt dumb for not thinking about

[@Rainnn..]

Bro made the best editing and thought we wouldn't notice

[@sebbediah]

Whoops you caught me tee-hee 🫢🤪

True bro

[@bordakius7401]

I respected that when I realized it

[@YukitoOnline]

Thank you for the video. Owned Project Zomboid for more than a decade but never played it. Really nice to see a video that actually teaches newbies the basics.

[@pattalkstoparakeets2235]

When filing taxes in Project Zomboid, always make sure to include any zombie-busting equipment purchases in your write-offs. You'll need to manually drop off the forms, since the postal service isn't working due to the outbreak. The IRS building isn't easy to get into, there are many hordes of zombies guarding it, but at least you'll sleep easy at night knowing that Uncle Sam has been paid what's due.

[@Swope25]

I came in with less than two brain cells, after watching the video my brain is thicc with knowledge. Thanks Seb for the knowledge there was some really good tips I didn’t even know about!

[@sebbediah]

Haha no worries bro, I'm glad you've enjoyed 😆🫡

[@Swope25]

@@sebbediah absolutely! I didn’t even know you could get free experience from watching tv lol

[@pattalkstoparakeets2235]

Whenever going to the bathroom in Project Zomboid, always make sure to pack additional toilet paper in case your character receives the random 'got the runs' debuff. 2-ply is way better than single ply, and 2-ply can be crafted from combing two single ply sheets with some zombie mucus. Pine cones can also be used, however your character runs the risk of self-injury (unless you're playing as the lumberjack.)

[@CommanderDusK]

Amazing editing 🎉 I have watched a few beginner guides but this is by far the best.

[@sebbediah]

Haha thanks 😁✨✨

[@lacko_taco]

VERY CRINGE

[@r2lean2]

I remember when I first got this game, I haven't regretted the purchase once

[@sebbediah]

Same, it's a gem 😆😊

[@tayloro3328]

Agreed. I'm very new but my gosh is it good. I already have like 120 hours XD

[@pavelZhd]

Restless sleeper is a no go. Even with wakeful it really screws you over since you don't really gain any rest beyond hiding the sleepy moodle. But as soon as you get out of bed it appears again. So thd only way for you to operate without this - 50% melee damage debuff is to consume copious amounts of coffee.

[@sebbediah]

I usually just eat sleeping tablets and it works pretty fine for me 😂😂

[@CatChat240p]

It's even worse than that, fatigue and stamina play into each other. Basically the more tired you are the worse your stamina regen is, which leads to you being exhausted and exhaustion builds tiredness.

[@TomNJoshPlay]

YESSS!! All your other videos themselves are a surprising help to newer players, and now there’s a whole video dedicated to it? You’re the best!

[@sebbediah]

Yeah I thought I'd showcase everything I learned with this series 😂😊🫡

[@friedmandesigns]

Cool narration and sweet editing, mate... ❤‍🔥 18:09 -- Always swap your "default" plastic water bottle for a bourbon bottle. (Plastic bottle icons are horizontal / face sideways ... bourbon bottles are small and 'stand' vertically). Bourbon bottles hold 2 more units of water but weigh less (.7 unequipped vs .8 of the plastic ones). Makes a difference on long pain trudges! Cheers.

[@Bryan3231001]

Another tip with boredom is to just go outside for a bit it will remove it fairly fast

[@deleteduser3455]

In zombiod too

[@lionbruh7189]

@@deleteduser3455 lmaooooo

[@kyesol]

You can also door flash (press e, see if there are zombies, and press e again to close the door. This should be really quick, about a fraction of a second) to see if there are zombies in a room. Make sure to hold right click to be prepared to fight just in case a zombie gets out, but I recommend that new players fight zombies outside, especially if there is more than 2 or 3.

[@sebbediah]

Haha thank you, welcome 😁✨✨

[@typicalchesse24]

Literally survived for 7 month but this is still extremely useful

[@rokko1020]

worth mentioning is that you dont 'need' a can opener to open cans. not only have some cans (cant remember which ones) a latch and can just be opened; the screwdriver can also open cans. also,see if you can get your hands on some crayons. a little pack of crayons counts as black,red and blue pen. you can ditch all your pens at that point

[@thehooligan129]

Incredible series. I've rewatched it numerous times and sent it to friends to learn from. I've seen many PZ videos but i feel like i learned the most from this series youve made. Thank you

[@sebbediah]

I'm happy you found it helpful 😁✨

[@stefahlicious]

I absolutely loveeee your editing style and humor in general 😭🫶

[@gabrielkarakash7340]

My tip: Pick a weapon type and stick with it. All weapons have their pros and cons, however all weapons are more effective the higher your level with it is. As such, be sure to pick which weapon type you want to use and do your best to exclusively use it. Personally, I like to use long blunt weapons because the crowbar is pretty common. (you can even find it stabbed inside zomboids) If you want, feel free to limit to two instead of one, it may help in a pinch to know how to use two different types of weapons instead of just one.

[@trumplostlol3007]

Riverside is my go to place. It has the smallest zombie count, although the resources available are quite limited. But if you are familiar with the place, you will have no problem finding an antique oven and a generator. You may not be able to find all the books and VHS. But it is ok as long as you don't get killed by Zombies. LOL

[@ohioanfishman]

I started playing last week and have been doing terrible. I watched this video and it's really helped! My longest run now has been a week. If I hadnt saw this video, I wouldnt of gotten in attack mode everytime I opened a door and had died already. Thanks for saving my run!

Thanks for this! A lot of even the newb tutorials assume you know certain things or even just what priorities are early. This is the first one I've watched that I think will really help me get past the first week. Thanks!

No problem, happy surviving! 😁

thanks for telling me about the resuming normal time after timed acrions, this has actually gotten me killed a few times lol

[@BruceWayne15325]

A better way to check to see if there are zombies behind a door is to do a quick door flash. This is accomplished by rapidly double tapping E. Because you press it quickly twice the zombies don't have time to escape, but it gives you a quick flash of a view into the room so you can see if there are any zombies inside, and how many.

[@sebbediah]

Yes this one is good! I wouldn't recommend this for new players tho. Doing this myself causes me so much stress and I'm used to the game 😂😂😂

[@greggayres]

downloading it now it looks crazy complex and at the same time simple but i am guessing you have thousands of hours haha great video lots of info i would have completely missed without you knowledge

Strength is actually the stat that raises your carrying capacity. This is proven in that taking Strong as a trait increases your capacity, by increasing your strength level. 😊

[@FosterFreeze]

One thing I enjoy changing is my xp modifier to 2.5x The grind can become very tedious and if you fine yourself with not much gaming time then it really helps. I can usually never get a skill past the halfway mark even at that modifier before dieng 😅 Also if your playing a SP game then a good negative trait to pick if you need to then grab slow learner. You read slower but when you can speed up time its not a big deal.

[@elrincondegonda]

Even if I go way out to farmland there are just 100 zombies chilling lol

This was absolutely delightful to watch 🐸✨ Btw you mentioned you like to collect all the pen(cil) colors... did you know that in project zomboid if you find crayons you'll have all the colors for the map? You can usually find them on office desks. They'll weigh the same as carrying all the pens and pencil but it'll be less items cluttering up your inventory.

It's worth noting that different shoes have different speed multipliers You can run the fastest in sneakers, slowest in boots, and somewhere between the two for regular shoes Its not a noticeable difference, from my personal experience, and unless you are playing a sprinter zombie world you shouldn't need that extra enhancement. And on the topic of dirt and wounds, im pretty sure that if you have bloody clothing you are at a much higher risk for getting infected (zombie one) if you get a wound

Ignoring the slamming on the door when you were looting that house was not fun for my nerves. Usually, I try to deal with anybody slamming on doors. Had the fun of looting the floor of a house, going back home, reentering the house knowing there were likely folks on the 2nd floor. Had 3 come down the stairs, dealt with them and heard more door thumping. Went upstairs, I think saw 2 doors? Atleast 1 had some more occupants, saw the broken door the 3 came out of, and saw 2 Zeds in the hall.... made the call to just... leave that house alone for right now. But def close windows/doors to looted houses... if you turned off respawns, there should be no new occupants from a fully cleared house with it's doors and windows shut. Open/broken windows are an opportunity for Zeds to wander in.
