The Louisville Bridge Crosses the River in Project Zomboid

THE LOUISVILLE BRIDGE CROSSES THE RIVER IN PROJECT ZOMBOID AND WE GOTTA TALK ABOUT IT.

[@antworld2039]

The reason why it goes on now is because they hired the guy who did the random terrain generation in minecraft to make the game infinitely generate random wilderness outside the premade map. They said they plan to make some of the main roads expand infinitely into the wilderness in order to give people a viable way of transport if they wish to go out that far. In this case, the bridge highway was already made to go on for a long time for that reason. That lake at 1:0t, in the corner right , is proof enough they try to make it survivable. A lake means infinite water AND fishing for food.

jesus christ that's jason bourne

[@Philip-z4m7b]

small correction in order to not frustrate/confuse anyone in the future: its not actually infinite, from what ive heard there is a new black border out there, however the map is really REALLY larger and you wont run out of space to explore, the statement is similar to saying "minecraft in infinite", while technically untrue it doesnt change the fact that its that big to the point were it doesnt functionally make a difference

[@OddSalesman]

If they do make the map expand infinitely, just imagine the possibility of someone making the whole map of america into the game. That would be insane!

[@bbeausy]

How will this work alongside lore though? Major events in the game rely on the fact that the bridges over the Ohio river were blown

[@Hydrolaevea]

@@bbeausy well since build 42 is all about survival and craftmanship, maybe the next updates will be about rebuilding society or just better constructions so they might add a way to rebuild bridges.

[@Penguinmanereikel]

The developers have mentioned that Prof is working on a system where the land will be randomly generated for miles and miles outside of the core map. It looks like they extended all existing areas outwards really far to allow space for this to be worked on in development, or something?

[@curbstompzombiekillerz]

i think its so that map modders can add on to the existing map more easily and so that players can live out there

[@Penguinmanereikel]

@ that, too.

[@infiniteheavy]

the reason you can walk through it is because it is beside a half fence

[@wiktoriusss]

There was a lake at 1:05 on the other side of the bridge, that's crazy. It may be the reason of random seeds/terrain generation tho. Anyways a cool detail showing how it works, or maybe the future plans for expansions for this place.

[@NeverCallKriss]

This could be a good "end game" goal to set for yourself... to cross the river.

@@Kneejair Zomboid's only end is death, you could interprete going there as like escaping the exclusion zone-

[@freddy19872]

@NeverCallKriss to be fair, by the time you exit the exclusion zone every human that is not immune to the airborne strain is a zombie. Everywhere in the world.

[@NeverCallKriss]

@freddy19872 I know. But still, it’s nice to have a end goal to "win"

[@B-zk9bt]

Aren’t both bridges that lead out of the Exclusion Zone supposed to be *bombed* , *destroyed?*

[@lukav3509]

thinking about the same thing

[@Mad-rg9sz]

I think lore wise they wouldn't be bombed until a couple days into the game, as the game starts before zombies breach Louisville

[@sertobul6546]

What? When we start the game zombies are already everywhere, or am I getting something wrong? ​@@Mad-rg9sz

[@DoctorDoggo_]

hell yea we can go to Indiana now

[@Generic648]

This kinda retcons the bridge bombing

[@joelarson1733]

Oh yeah for sure. I mean, you can bomb the bridge yourself if you want to

[@Hydrolaevea]

with how unexpected the situation with the outbreak boiled over in the lore, they might NOT have bombed all bridges because everybody who wasnt immune turned before they could do it + after discovering it turned airbone it mightve been see as a waste of resources to bomb the bridges since places all around the world were affected

[@NinjaPostman989]

@@Hydrolaevea it was bombed after it went airborne (but before it started to spread rapidly outside louisiville i think)

[@desktorp]

I found this by accident shortly after B42 released. Got bit on my first game and decided to just make a run from Rosewood to LV. Got the truck all the way to the barricade, ditched it and started walking only to realize that I could walk around and cross the bridge. Then I hit the edge of the map and just started roaming through the woods along the edge. Eventually just let myself get eaten to end it.

[@Boingy420]

That bridge looks hopeless now. In B41, you can get to that end, and see hope on the other side. No zombies. Now, you get to that end.....Just more on the other side. Place was a dope safe zone in B41 too. Just get to that corner and zombie AI doesn't know what to do anymore. Send 1 or 2. To be safe. Not the Louiseville Hordes.

[@computer_head8653]

By build 69 they'll have recreated the entire country

[@aquarius5264]

to get your car across it'd probably legit be faster to just make your own bridge than move all that wreckage

[@SuperflyGaming]

The outer rim of the map got a lot larger. Definitely won't be any more issues with making custom maps into the main game now.

[@Lilyclu]

This genuinely surprises me cause I went to the bridge in Bradenburg and it just Ends, so I figured Louisville would be the same.

[@mylesm444]

That’s kind of neat! I’m looking forward to to finished game in 2045 :D

Procedurally generated maps get a lot of shit, but I think Zomboid could genuinely benefit from some procedural cities or towns to expand the map exponentially. Maybe optional, like an alternative map?

In the patch note, it already told about the procedural generation map, you will be no longer blocked by the black wall but the map will go on forever with the wild life

Spoodle brings such joy

[@nicolas91827]

Wow very cool, didn't even know this.

[@Retro-Iron11]

The new albany mod had the full bridge and the city on the top there in b41. It was pretty cool as it had a missing bridge broken section and a ton of wrecks.

[@GoRyder]

Oh I thought they hadn't implemented the procedurally generated wildness beyond the map boarders yet.

[@Balevolt]

I have been on this bridge many times in real life.

[@Alan_The_Jaguar]

you can go trough it because all furniture becomes walkable when next to a fence or window

[@imchris5000]

I bet the rail is considered a window in the game

[@sheriffzard5149]

The infinite terrain generation is on all sides of the world. North, South, East, and West. Like the road heading west out of Ekron, follow that road and you will find yourself going far beyond the map details

[@ElDous1]

you should explore all of that to see if there's any work in progress structure, also do it in 2 saves to see if its actually random

[@martiantexan7632]

Spoodle doodle story time.

[@kevinxu3892]

Isn’t this using the random map generation that they mentioned in the build 42 dev logs? That they got some Minecraft developers to implement it for zomboid

[@LionOfTawhid]

I imagine when NPCs get added the other side of the river will be like a safe zone that will have no zeds initially and you will be able to loot in the mainland and then cross the river to sell your loot like in tarkov, or maybe I'm just overhyping it

[@Stiksta]

You are definitely over hyping it. But that would be a cool endgame..

[@LionOfTawhid]

@Stiksta With the way the devs are I wouldn't be surprised if thats actually what they're planning

[@Mad-rg9sz]

Sadly over hyping it. Ive always imagined a similar system with NPCS, being able to watch Louisville fall to the zombies, watching the military flee, setting up safe zones and stuff, but realistically i think their implementation will be limited

[@LionOfTawhid]

@@Mad-rg9sz Week One mod already adds that which you've mentioned, the military also drops napalm on neighborhoods that have zeds in them

[@Mad-rg9sz]

@LionOfTawhid Yeah true, I guess if modders can do that even without proper NPC tools then the devs could definitely implement an even better version of it

[@Shinzon23]

So now you can have friends on the other side 😅

[@Brigand231]

It's not a glitch, the fence ends a square before the end.

[@AlexisaswomGaming]

The new map extension is going to be near Louisville there’s lots of big areas and a few unfinished buildings obere there

[@randomtexanguy9563]

Jeffersonville Indiana?

[@MSteamCSM]

That is a cool find, thanks!

[@kevincamps4817]

There's an option to disassemble wrecked cars now

[@randomtexanguy9563]

The city north of Louisville is Jeffersonville INDIANA

[@Hunter-jo8ud]

They should expand the map to the east a little. At least some small places you can explore because in real life there really is nothing than just forests lol. I mean the area where Bedfort Falls is. You still have that big fort in the east of Louisville. I guess there is still at least one map expansion comming i think.

[@diegovillafane6313]

Yeah they say that for future changes they are working on things across the river, i don't know what that mean but yeah

[@Hunter-jo8ud]

They better should focus on npcs. I just wonder how they will make it cause good npcs need performance. How do you want to let npcs doing stuff on the entire map without letting it lag like hell?

[@TitanKaempfer]

@@Hunter-jo8ud The mapping team would be a different one from the ones coding NPCs. The other thing would be the same way there is millions of zombies on the map already. Only those close enough to the player would be computed for real, while the rest are rather a very simple simulation of NPCs. No need to do complicated stuff on NPCs you can't even see or know of.

[@Lunibruniful]

I don't think its a bug that you can go around the barricade. The barrier might be just for vehicles and mass of people/zomb
