Project Zomboid Carpentry Guide Build 41+

[@Mr_LH1980]

Don't destroy stairs. Destroy the tile at the top of the stairs. It takes less time and can be reversed much easier by rebuilding a wooden floor tile. Stairs take more resources to rebuild.

[@sarahsanchez4552]

Excellent point

[@enidanni3919]

that makes alot more sense

[@davidisawkward2192]

Pillars have a use but it's not an absolute must. It will seal the gaps that player built walls have when a N-S wall meets up with an E-W wall.

Can You build Floor over them? the thin is i wanna build a Bridge between 2 edifications but i can't put Floors over nothing in the air

[@ekoleko2086]

You can barricade windows and doors from both sides for more strength

[@sarahsanchez4552]

From what I can tell, dismantling things gives more XP than building, or at least faster XP. Find a hammer and/or a saw, and whenever you raid a house for goods dismantle as many things as you're able to. I leveled up twice in a day by dismantling a bunch of beds at a motel.

[@KangiNaMagi]

Here's a thing, in higher levels of carpentry it becomes a bit harder to gain levels. You'll start noticing the spike at around "advanced" levels. So to squeeze as much xp as possible, you can dismantle the beds and then build walls with the new planks.

[@sarahsanchez4552]

@@KangiNaMagi Yeah I'm pretty sure at that point you need an extra 1500 XP every time you want to level up so yeah, it does cripple things.

[@federationsoldier6833]

in my opinion, the house near riverside the one surrounded by woods with the large fence and the dead drunk guy is kinda good for finding early carpentry XP plust hat fence is kinda good for levels

[@fuchsmichael93]

I would recommend going into a School and disassemble the big Tables in the Kantine, there´s like 20 of them in one Spot and they give almost the same amount of Exp as the large Beds. With the Beginner book and fast learner i needed only 6 of them from 0 to lvl 2

[@MeltedButter77]

This is an underrated tip. Having the books right there with loads of tables is by far the best place to go to level up carpentry

building a 2/f garden with a 3f rooftop with water barrels for plumbing = complete freedom. and in urban maps like Raven Creek, I connect each building with wood bridges AFTER I make sure they are zombie free and no longer have any stairs that the undead can use. cheers!

Thank you! This is a really helpful guide!

[@maximilianwell]

my base is near a werehouse which is of course full of crates and instead of just chopping trees something a normal person would do , i emptied all of the stuff that was in the crates (mostly stuff i didn't need at the time) and just went mayhem on disassembling all of them and got all of the planks in a van.

[@headlesszombie1152]

super helpful guide, you just earned a sub my guy

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

I've been playing all day. Everything I break down gives me scrap wood. I have found only 1 plank & 2 nails. I have ran all around my town. Nothing. I'm just supposed to luck into a freaking saw??? WTF?

In the footage where u had to fight a zed when u wanted to disassemple the bed u could close the door before that, and then take care of that zed after disassembling the bed

[@Capitan83es]

Wait, wait; pillars; Last time I played this game, you needed pillars to build floors two units after another structure; so if you wanted to build an structure with a bug roof it needed pillars to sustain it. Did that change?

[@Icetoanie]
