New Building System is... Strange | Project Zomboid Build 42 | Ep 15

[@m.berelli]

I appreciate your positive attitude towards b42. The loudest voices in the community seem to concentrate on the negatives, which is a shame considering how crazy ambitious this new build is.

[@Vulrhund]

I've seen it getting a lot of grief, and there are certainly some areas that need improvement but as a whole I'm really enjoying it and it really is one hell of an ambitious build! I think if they updated the game to this with no option to return to build 41 I'd be a little frustrated, but it's completely optional and it's actually pretty solid, hard to complain really!

[@ShinnosukeTokuda1684]

It's like they don't realize it's an unstable beta getting patched basically daily -- build 41 when it first came out had its dodgy moments, multiplayer had REALLY dodgy moments early on, etc.

[@WilliamTheMovieFan]

Well, there is a lot they improved but they also changed things that weren’t necessary and added things that very few will use. I know it is an unstable beta build and they will adjust things, but I think they are trying to do too much which is why build 42 took so long.

[@Vulrhund]

I think it’s a big step in the right direction but definitely trying to manage too much at once, I think the ui changes alone should’ve been a separate thing so they could polish it and then release the full crafting update and then brought the animals after but I have faith in them, they’ve gotten us this far!

[@m.berelli]

@@VulrhundI think this too, but then again I’ve never done serious coding or have been a project manager on a game, so I just assume they are doing it in a specific order for coding purposes? Idk, but it’s amazing they still work on the game at all considering they have our money already. Sometimes I feel like the game is designed and built by a talented friend who does it as an amazing hobby instead of as a product - so I sort of get whatever they think is important at the time, regardless of what I think.

[@JamesDoakez]

Am i the only one that has a huge addiction to this game? Love your vids btw

[@Vulrhund]

I can’t go a day without it, definitely an addiction at this point :D glad you’re enjoying them man, thanks :)

[@catlikelemur2760]

Nice I kinda liking this slow build up with the injury ❤

[@Vulrhund]

It’s been good fun, and a huge welcome change to my normal play style. Can’t wait to get out of here and go do something though I’m losing my brain a bit :D

[@Kinggoatgbt]

Epic ending for Arthur man loved it… and he still hurt doing great to still be alive

[@Vulrhund]

Glad you enjoyed it! Gives us the option to bring him back one day too and that’s super exciting!

Sixth man to the pack!

[@aNoisyPlatypus]

If you haven’t already, you might want to add food or water to the feeding trough in the hutch itself for when the chickens are shut in for the night 🐣

[@Vulrhund]

Ah I didn’t even know that was a thing! The outside ones are all good but I’ll get some inside as soon as!

[@HellaKazoo]

You can make a carton of eggs from the crafting menu if there are 12+ in and around your inventory.

[@Vulrhund]

Oh really? Gonna get cracking on that immediately!

[@HellaKazoo]

@Vulrhund its probably a good idea. I havnt had it happen yet but I hear they can hatch outside cartons, even in a freezer atm.

[@alexhlavac2827]

Early doors, wooo

[@Vulrhund]

Just came in second, nice one man!

[@BlueOrion-dc9yk]

The family of rabbit skulls collection on the cupboard isnt concerning at all

[@Vulrhund]

Imagine breaking into this place and seeing that, would be a straight out the door job :D

[@AshleyRebecca]

Maybe butcher outside? Seems like that is something you shouldn’t do on the carpet. Unless you want a Dexter room

[@Vulrhund]

Yeah I think you're right, it made sense to get it away from the animals in my head but the second I spilled everything on the floor I regretted it immediately :D

[@ZM1306]

​@@Vulrhund Or bring in zombie bodies for the décor.

[@mrjblacc85]

Just make sure you never kill an animal in sight of your lifestock or they'll never trust you again.

[@Vulrhund]

Hahaha you both make it sound like I’m crazy, just don’t wanna upset the animals (even if they are completely virtual and aren’t programmed for it in the slightest)

[@mrjblacc85]

@Vulrhund well you may also want to take into account the space needed to process the leather you gather at butchering. I've remodelled the downstairs for all that.

[@lynh9648]

I'm sure you've been checking Gavin's leg, but if it's healed up to only a laceration or something, then the splint is going to keep him limping, making him walk slower. Yay, Big Red!! ❤ He looks happier already to be away from those zeds!

[@Vulrhund]

The fractures still there, it can't be far off but it's still got a little ways to go, really am counting down the days! Think the best thing this leg has done for us has given plenty of time to clear the area and catch up with skills, all up from a good leg!

[@thezombieman72]

for the animals you have to use that white trailer (animal trailer) and you can transport more of them

[@Vulrhund]

Already on it my boy, next episode I went back for it and my god did it make life easy!

[@Retro-Iron11]

Just a shame that's all it can haul. Can't load with items.

@@Retro-Iron11 The Modders will hear our cries don't you worry

[@Retro-Iron11]

@@thezombieman72 They'll eventually update the mods we had in b41 with the better trailers we had then.

[@Retro-Iron11]

You can make some good club weapons with those bones. 21:12 Eh, give it a shot, maybe that carpet would look better with the butcher hook on it. You use empty tin cans for can reinforced weapons. You gain the recipe at level 5 short blunt if you don't find the magazine. Get a medium handle and strap a tin can to it. Got that cambels soup right up in their faces.

[@Vulrhund]

I did have a look through the build menu and found them, got some good crafting coming soon once we hit level 5! The butcher hook probably wasn’t my best idea but we move, gotta learn the hard way sometimes :D

[@Retro-Iron11]

@@Vulrhund I found the recipe and made a bucket maul. It's got full damage bar, it's a beast at breaking doors down. To use it in combat I reckon you'd want level 10 fitness and strength.

[@randomhero6365]

The battery are bugged they drain super fast even when not in use. Hope they fix that super soon

[@Vulrhund]

Way too quickly, I get them draining when not in use but I should be able to drive it once a week and keep it charged that way, bit of a nightmare at the minute

[@sudarshanh.v993]

Fifth horseman here. Batteries do behave weird in the new Build. However I'd suggest to just keep your car running when on smaller loot runs. That will preserve and recharge battery. Update, I did get a foothold near the Jamieton Military Surplus store, but had to take out 300 zeds. 300 more remain. Triggered a car alarm which made things a wee bit complicated. While I am at it, a belated tribute to our nomad!

[@Vulrhund]

They're very frustrating aren't they, I get that they're going to go down when not in use but as quickly as they do is a killer! Keeping it running on little trips is what I'm kind of trying to do but then I get too ambitious and I'm scared it'll run out of fuel :D Aye nice! 600 zeds is wild that place does not sound pretty! Good luck with the car alarm too that sounds way worse :D He deserved the best, the legend he was!

[@MushroomMan7]

Two tips: 1. The car battery charges as the car is running, so if you leave it idling it will charge. The downside is that it wastes gas. 2. Always check trash bags in trash bins and containers as they can have some good stuff. I found a sledgehammer in the trash in front of a gas station in WP

[@Vulrhund]

I need to start leaving it running when just doing little in out trips, just habit! I was getting good at keeping on top of them then completely forgot but after that unreal luck l I’ll be checking them all!

[@MushroomMan7]

[@KrabNomad]

Need the “Windows Everywhere” mod by Star. Would be able to drag the build menu and other windows off screen and back on when you need it without having to close it and open it over and over again

[@Vulrhund]

I’m trying to keep it all vanilla for now just so I can ping up any issues or point out any changes and not have it conflicted by a mod if that makes sense? Will absolutely add it if they don’t though!

[@KrabNomad]

@ understandable. I tried so hard to do the same. But I’m an addict at this point. Need to be in Mods Anonymous for how addicted to mods I am lol. I hope they do add it in the base game but if not, Windows everywhere will be great when you start usin mods again. Thanks for the awesome videos

[@Vulrhund]

I think the last two runs were the only ones I’ve heavily modded, I’ve always been pretty vanilla I just love the flow of it but there are definitely some mods out there I miss a lot! Appreciate you man! If you do have any more solid recommendations over time definitely let me know!

[@Hazmatt4700]

It is always funny to me that PZ has better trailer towing then Snowrunner

[@Vulrhund]

Haha my god imagine the fear of escaping an apocalypse with snowrunner mechanics. Like being stuck in a dream you can’t run in :D

[@Jthom_9]

When will build 42 be completely released ? Does anyone have a rough idea

[@Vulrhund]

Oh it’s a long ways out yet I reckon, this is one of their first playable builds, loooong way to go

[@Jthom_9]

@@Vulrhundthank you, love the videos

[@Drie_Kleuren]

are you ever going to stream again and play the stream guy? or was that an one time off just random stream hahaha?

[@Vulrhund]

I do plan to I’ve just had a super busy Christmas period, lot of friends travelling down, family to see, getting things pre recorded and freeing up my day have been the only way. Busy time of year!

[@thecrimedog8424]

Any idea when broken bones heal? Also, I can't wait for Build 42 fire festival!!

[@Vulrhund]

Should be right around the corner, around about 4 weeks! Man I wanted to get a burn on so long ago but the molotovs have changed and I’m struggling for a plan :D

[@davekendk89]

battery drain is a know bug devs are working on, i think when you load in sometimes your car battery can be set to 32% at least thats what i read i cant play 42 at the moment i get black screen its in compatible with my GPU at the moment

[@Vulrhund]

That’s music to my ears! I do love that they just crack on with it all, straight to the feedback section and get cracking with bug fixes, good developers without question! Oh no way really? That’s so annoying what the hell

[@davekendk89]

@@Vulrhund they are a good bunch alright, You'll notice it's all battery not just cars so for now even pick up drained batters if you come across them they'll most likely be at 32%. It sucks but the devs know its relative to the family of AMD GPU I use when the game starts i have a black screen, the menu music and the zomboid mouse cursor, cant wait to play it i've a few ideas for fun runs i want to try out

[@HellaKazoo]

It's strange when I see you scythe grass. When I do it it's 6 at a time, but I only see you getting a single. You sure you're not clicking remove grass instead of scythe?

[@Vulrhund]

Yeah that is weird, I’ve had it all growing back in random places so I don’t think so, definitely scything as far as I can tell!

[@HellaKazoo]

@@Vulrhund I guess I could just be seeing things lol. I've been scything the grass path from the northern muldraugh farmhouse to the highway, trying to save my tires and avoid tree growth. Shit is heavy and I get like 60 in a swing. I feel like most anything outside looting tires my character out and wastes the day. Pretty weird it's not a weapon like it used to be too.

[@thecrimedog8424]

Can you name the chickens after your subscribers? Just saying. 😊

[@Vulrhund]

You’ll be very pleased by the next episode! :)

[@mrjblacc85]

Not sure what good animal feed is. I'm in December and my 5 pigs, 18 piglets, 3 cows and 2 calfs are still easily fed by grazing the grass in their zone.

[@Vulrhund]

Oh no way really? Guess the demand for food isn't really that high. They're yet to break into the feed bag yet, might be worth saving them for some real bitter months just in case

[@mrjblacc85]

Yeah, I've got 4 crates of grass cuttings stored up for winter. Had some snow fall already, but still enough grass remaining

[@hltco920]

"Paring" is pronounced "pear-ing"

[@Vulrhund]

I had a feeling, I say both of them every time I see it so thanks for clearing that up!

[@hltco920]

@Vulrhund love you bro ❤️

[@Katesloveslave]

No offense guy but why did you try to gut a deer inside the house? When you do that you do that outside.

[@Vulrhund]

I wish I had an answer for you, it felt like a bright idea at first but I’m heavily regretting my decisions :D
