My SECOND DAY In Build 42 For Project Zomboid! Full Uncut Gameplay Of Project Zomboid's New Update!

[@NetrunnerMox77]

Muscle strain hasn't been a real issue for me, but I think for others, it is an issue because most people power through massive hordes. They are used to fighting through massive hordes nonstop and now have to slow down.

[@short_kingzz]

Definitely agree

[@AEGIPAN101]

I like how it all works in B42. You have to develop non-combat strategies to deal with hordes.

[@short_kingzz]

​@@AEGIPAN101and I already avoided hordes to begin with haha I went two months once only killed 57 zombies

[@BoinkrNanis]

What I think its supposed to do is force more people to focus on using firearms more. Starting out with a pistol alures to this. Anyone else notice the default drop rate of items is also a lot higher and the vehicles are usually in good shape now? Ive seldom found a broken vehicle which I thought was a massive problem in previous buils and 41. It just never made sense to me if they were going for ultra realism how would all the cars just be broken like that within a week/month of the outbreak? Like, dont make it real real and then make that particular aspect difficult just because. But it is nice that we finally have a difficult game cause I was getting to 3 months of survival and then it was basically game over cause the only way id die is if I got drunk and slipped up lol

[@kadiboudacz5500]

@@BoinkrNanis we're starting out with a pistol because this is the test version of the game build and with it, we have gotten a firearm system overhaul, hence why we are given the pistol. You literally get a message saying you were given a pistol to test out the new system.

[@viren_jalkun]

BTW pay attention to crashes sometimes you can find animal trailers hooked up with farm animals still in them. I rescued a cow in my game lol

[@richardhutton4501]

That's so wholesome 😊

[@MikeThePole]

I'm having a blast with muscle strain along with new loot tables and zombie distribution. It's slowing me down and pushing me into thinking more about how to plan and decide what I really need instead of just going on a power trip and setting myself up for life in the first week or so. I could brute force find all of the necessary tools just by looting one big warehouse and after that it was just basically maintenance and chores.

[@Morbidhouse]

Managing keys is easy, just mark the locations on your map for the keys. Something like 1,2,3 and then rename each key for each location you mark. Key 1 for building 1 etc.

[@71DaLa]

Why do you need keys for? Is it when you guys play with smart zombies that can open doors?

[@Morbidhouse]

@71DaLa In single player yeah that is pretty much the only reason I could really need them for. Multiplayer is obviously a different story.

[@writersbrock9246]

hey maybe start a petting zoo for zombies. If animals are immune to the virus and reduce sadness maybe we just might have found the cure

[@Chayusuizai]

This comment is so cute

[@RemyJustice97]

[@mratomicduckvods]

Yep! Super nice.

[@kasperilaukkanen8124]

Little bit late with this but hope it helps still. Someone in yt showed that if you put mouse over the keys in the keyring it highlights the doors corresponding to it.

[@HarperSophia]

[@mratomicduckvods]

[@JessHessMusic]

Idk if all houses have "addresses" in the game, but it would be a super helpful update to add the addresses for the residential keys once we unlock the door they go to in game.

[@Dino-11]

Hi, im late to catching up on the series so sorry if you've addressed this again or you view has changed but I do LOVE the keys having weight now because it encourages discovery to figure out exactly what key is what and makes key rings for different areas valuable. So if I am Going to west-rosewood for say I can have my key ring for that area, and have a key ring for east rosewood and so on and so on. Yes its harder but this one I like! I think it fits the game well. Personal organization and storage optimization will benefit players. While adding the need to document what key is what.. It may be tedious but a lot of things in this game are

[@viren_jalkun]

A fix to your key Dilemma is to start naming them as you pick them up.

[@mratomicduckvods]

Exactly what I've decided to do for new playthroughs! I'm a bit late to do that in this one, but I've started naming keyrings after towns like "Rosewood" then naming keys "R1", "R2" and putting that same designation on the map when I find the right building.

[@JessHessMusic]

Instead of keys having weight, I think they should jungle just a little when you walk with maybe 5 keys and have the jingle get louder as you add keys

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

For film zombie lore, it's split between two different type of zombies. One that will devour people and animals, and another where they will ignore animals. Anyway, it's interesting to see animals in the game. I'm sure more will be added by modders, hopefully. I would like to see creatures, something like creatures from the Stephen King book, the Mist. That would go nicely with the descending fog challenge game mode.

[@Gooseman-vv1yp]

Maybe since that slug repellant was a liquid, you can possibly use it with the backpack sprayer to spray more crops. Just some food for thought.

[@Donnfindel]

[@MrDMV816]

The pillow case hood had me spit my coffee out this morning.

[@chuckleberrypi]

I think a good catch-all idea, or statement about the changes Is something along the lines of this. the best thing about project zomboid is that you can make it whatever kind of zombie experience you want. The fact that the vanilla game comes with such deep sandbox settings is a blessing to every gamer. there's times where all I want to do is slay hordes, so I turn the population up to insane I pick a character build that's super strong and I set the XP multiplier to 1,000. there's other times where I want to roleplay something much more real, so I make hunger worse and take sleepyhead and restless sleeper so I have to worry about my sleep more. I think a tips video for build 42 should absolutely include some different settings. like you could showcase 2-3 different sandbox settings with maybe a couple different character builds so people can play how they want to. so much of the complaining actually stems from players not realizing the power they ALREADY have to shape the game before they even pick a character

[@goheen1701]

[@randomhero6365]

Blades and spear tips and stuff are learned now through schematics

[@HunterMayer]

I think the solutions to keys... Ditch the weight and just allow large key rings and increase the amount of time to find the right key in direct correlation with how many keys are on that ring.

[@SilvaDreams]

Or just learn not to hoard every key forever. Not sure if you've ever had a ton of keys irl but they get heavy fast.

[@jonnelson7949]

if you putt he key in your inventory then hover over it it highlights the doors its used for

[@Feldynn]

I do get the feeling the whole muscle strain controversy is a bit of a knee jerk over reaction, it seems more like the "problem" is that you can't go honking through 500 zombies with a baseball bat on day one like a right nutter now, people have to stop and think a bit more and adapt / adjust play style to suit it.. or just turn it off, it's not THAT big of a deal. The beauty of PZ for me has always been the options and the ability to make your own custom apocalypse, it's probably the only game in the genre to have the level of customization it does. You mentioned something when talking about managing keys that was possibly from a comment in the live chat possibly about address labeling them, right as that came up I happened to be reading a flyer for somewhere (Either the boxing arena or some appliance called Mad Don's Den) and noticed it actually had the address on it! Might have been a coincidence or they only have addresses for specific story props like that but it got me wondering if maybe there is some kind of address related code in the background, I mean the keys have to know which doors they open so maybe that could be a thing to be added with a mod somehow? Even if it's just like "Riverside West Residence 01 Key" it would be immensely helpful to have! I haven't properly sat down to test it yet but from what I've seen the depth of the new agriculture and animal systems is immense! Just seeing all the animals in my travels, stopping at the farming stores and seeing all the tools and seeds and equipment, just wow! I'm really glad you found the new animal trailers too, that's an awesome addition, I'm really hoping to see an updated and perhaps expanded version of "AgroTsar Farming company" from iBrRus or Skizot's Farming Mower packs.. they would fit perfectly in with this and be an absolute boon I think!! That and it's the perfect excuse for a Shaun Of the Dead meets Clarkson's Farm cross over series or server themed mod pack 😁.

[@jeze9353]

i would say for realism purpurses muscle strain makes sense if u fight for 2 hours straight i would be sore myself. So i kinda like it for the realism part

[@Temachan4343]

i think weight of the keys is smart, so you wouldnt pick up every key in the world And muscle strain can be mitigated by having higher weapons skill, or strenght, then you actually need to train those skills, and they wouldnt be useless

[@bretmensen5306]

Muscle strain should be more related to fitness instead of strength. Strength is a representation of how much you can bench, while fitness is a representation of how many reps you can do.

[@Alepoudiitsa]

yea but you use tools and thos tools have a weit, so it is to be expected if you are swiging a hammer for hours your will feal it.

[@bretmensen5306]

@Alepoudiitsa it doesn't matter. You could be a word class body builder, and you still wouldn't be able to hold an 8oz glass of water with an extended arm (90° to your body) for more than a few minutes. While strength does have a role in muscle strain, because those with less strength won't be swinging a 20lb sledgehammer as many times as those with high strength... But in the end, the one who has the most fitness will get the most reps. You might be able to bench 300lbs, but it's not helping you much if you get winded after 10 swings with that baseball bat in a zombie apocalypse.

[@codygreen2804]

You said exactly what I feel. They might be going a little too far on the realism to the point it just becomes a pain in the ass and no longer fun. My heart broke a little bit when I saw keys now have weight, and you now need funnels to fill generators? Not sure if thats true, I havnt played yet, but I know I already dont like the key system. I get keys having weight, but sheesh the keys were just fine in 41. Its exactly those little things that ruin a game for me, Like 7 Day To Die. I Love games that have a lot of realism, but I still want to know Im playing a game. At least, unlike 7 Days To Die, Zomboid devs use logic. It wouldnt be very logical if they removed all the water and bottles in Zomboid, right 7 Days Devs? RIIGhtt??? Overall im excited for the update. Just a little worried they will prioritize realism over fun, and make things more tedious to increase difficulty rather than other, more fun ways they could think of. Sorry for my rant. MrAtomicDuck? Thank you for the great content. Merry Christmas yall. 🎄🎅t🦌☃❄

[@mratomicduckvods]

Merry Christmas to you as well :) See, the great thing is at least when features like this aren't well received, the modding community comes in to give us alternatives. Love that about this community.

[@hippieyoda1993]

I find as a sort of new player, the amount of crafting, farming carving etc etc really makes it hard for me to even know what’s going on. I don’t even know where to start with all these options, the crafting list is immensely overwhelming and tbh some systems don’t look useful or that necessary (funnels and pipes for eg). I can’t even touch 90% of the features they’ve added as I don’t even know where to begin. Plus even with xp bonus I’m getting like 3xp for carving a stake guess I gotta carve 80 more before I reach lvl 1?? And then they make it so you can’t dissemble stuff making certain skills almost impossible to get a start on? I just don’t get it. It seems very unfriendly to new players.

[@codygreen2804]

@hippieyoda1993 I was just thinking about you eralier today! Ha ha the new/ newer players. It seems like developers want to just keep making the game harder and harder. When all it needs are improvements and more content that adds more FUN. I found zomboid pretty freaking difficult when I started about a couple years ago. Way overwhelmed, but That's what I love dude, options upon options. It is extremely grindy, which I don't mind if it's done right and well worth it. And it's especially difficult having a d.d. I'd say I'm a very different player than most cause I don't like games to be insanely difficult, I like to build and collect cars and just do random crap. Which Is why I like the (option) to make it more difficult when I want. And I'm not a fan of needing mods to change something back to how it was before. Like making keys weightless again. They do a pretty good job with the options though. I am very grattitudeful for Prodject Zomboid though, especially after losing 7dtd to stupid updates that change the game too much. And for no good reason. In my opinion. I have faith in the devs, but man it's hard for me not to be a little worried. But hey, That's an early access game for ya. Ha ha 😂 Just keep at it my friend, hell I'm still learning it. Safe travels. 🤘🏻💚🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟

[@codygreen2804]

@@mratomicduckvods holly shiiiiz man i can't believe and talxting you! 😂. Yes I agree, it is a great and strong community. I'm not the biggest fan of needing mods but its so nice to have, and the modding community is EPIC with Zomboid. With 7 days to Die it's not steam worshop supported, I think. So due to being pretty dumb, I can't really do mods. I've tried, twice. So it's so nice with Zomboid. Even if I had to play build 41 forever, which I don't think will be the case, it's still one of the best games ever made. Thank you for the incredible content.
