Some tips based on the video. Your standard walking speed is fast enough to outwalk the infected. Avoid sprinting or jogging, you'll want to keep your endurance up for the fighting. Resting on anything you can sit on or even sitting on the ground (you can combine both) will get your endurance up faster. There's a game setting called "aim outline" which I recommend turning on for both guns and melee weapons since it shows you the outlines of everything you have a chance to hit and the colour shows how likely you are to hit. At the start you'll want to avoid groups of 5+. When infected are on the ground you can save weapon durability by stomping (spacebar) (where you stomp matters, stomping on their leg does basically nothing while stomping on their head does the most). Always keep spare sheets or bandages on you to replace dirty ones or to bandage wounds in case of emergencies. Guns are horribly loud and will attract A LOT of infected, shotguns are the only viable option until you hit aiming 5+. Make sure you disinfect infected wounds fast (infection is caused by having untreated wounds near dirt, keep bandages clean and wounds bandaged). Infection is lethal, scratches and lacerations given by infected have a small chance of infecting you and bites will 100% of the time infect you (being infected by a zed will kill you. It takes a few days but you will die.). If you've been bit you may as well find some bleach and a nice place to die. Ripping up clothing or sheets will give you ripped sheets which can be used as bandages. Right clicking windows will allow you to remove broken glass from smashed windows, if you climb through a window without clearing the glass you'll most likely cut yourself and in worst case scenario give yourself a deep cut that needs stitching and bandaging. If you stand on top of an infected that's been knocked down they can't get up until you step off them. You can use this to keep one infected out of the fight while you deal with another. If you trip an alarm in a house. A horde is coming, better to cut your loss and get out of there before they arrive. The trait "cat eyes" is something I recommend you always pick due to how much of a difference it makes at night, it allows you to see almost as much as a flashlight would provide but throughout your entire vision cone. You can press E to open windows and doors. You can also hold E to climb through windows, jump large fences or just vaulting regular fences. Infected that haven't spotted you can be snuck up on and usually pushed down (spacebar) on the first try. Some questions answered: Beta blockers will keep your character from panicking (panicking will make you perform just a bit worse, mainly becomes a problem when combined with other effects) Both Painkillers and alcohol will allow you to sleep through pain (DO NOT mix, overdosing is a real thing in this game). The house you spawn in is guaranteed to provide some food, some basic materials and a weapon (of some kind, it can be anything from a butter knife to an axe), which is why the spawn house provided so much more than all other houses. It is REALLY bad to shoot, obviously depends on where you are and how clear the area is but generally using guns is going to get you killed (unless you have A LOT of ammo and high shooting skill). Bags will in fact help you. Backpacks are always useful and other types of bags can be held in your secondary hand while you hold your (one handed only) weapon in your primary hand. The reason there's barely any loot is due to the game settings. You can change loot rarity in your settings while making the world, if you're playing on a premade difficulty it's already set and I'm not 100% sure it can be changed. Medicine comes in multiples, when you take them it doesn't take them all only one pill. You can see how many pills are left if you hover over the bottle and check the "remaining" bar. (I am unsure how you didn't overdose at 44:50). The gunshots are one of MANY events that can happen and they're used to keep infected moving around. ---------------------------------- I know most of this was learnt and answered during the playthrough but I decided to keep this here for anyone else that could use some tips to survive longer. I never thought I'd see mark play PZ but it's very nice to see and I hope for more content in the future, happy surviving lads.

[@UnknownDisplay]

The fact that this still doesn't cover all of the mistakes/questions he made/had is hilarious

[@lactomedam33]

Wound infection and zombie infection are not the same thing. Zombie infection is determined by chance whenever you get harmed by a zombie, regardless of how clean or dirty your wound gets over time. Regular wound infection just makes the wound take more time to heal. Also, cleaning your clothes and character have no effect on infection rate or chance. To avoid wound infection you just have to keep the bandages clean, which get dirty over time with blood from the wound itself.

[@alexbirchall9537]

Wound infection (not zombie) is not lethal, so while it may take longer to heal it can be ignored. It's not worth changing dirty bandages.

[@lactomedam33]

@@alexbirchall9537 yes. In fact at times, especially when at low health and with neck wounds, it is better not to change bandages to avoid more blood loss.

[@jazzyjswift]

This was hands down the most entertaining PZ video I have watched. I don't know how you managed to survive more than the first 10 minutes. Your death was signed at 19:00 when you got bitten. But yet you persisted for multiple more days, getting literally dozens of more injuries, multiple infections, refused to clean any of your bandages, ran straight through multiple hordes, led numerous conga lines, slept literally across the street from the horde you just conga'd around the block, and somehow continued to live for another half a day after all that. The combination of your bravado and complete lack of knowledge of the game has led this to be the single most entertaining PZ video on this platform. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

0:35 Well, Project Zomboid is set in Kentucky as it is Ground Zero for the Knox Event. The maps correlate to major cities on the map. Many mods have been made to add to the map or to expand upon it. Raven Creek, Fort Knox, Eerie County, etc. Also most of the focus has been into improving and expanding on the players experiences. Improving vehicle physics, prepping a major engineering/crafting overhaul, intelligent NPCs, NPC behaviors, post-apocalypse traits, farm and wild animals, improvements to existing systems, etc.

[@R4in46]

The PZ map is huge, it would take you a long time to go through it, it has several cities and towns, it even has Louisville But You can only Spawn in muldraugh, Rosewood, west point and Riverside because of the lore, those were the only cities affected when the knox event started However what I love about pz is that the map is connected, you can travel from Rosewood to west point if you get a car and at no time does the game interrupt to load a new map

[@Oregon1928]

I feel bad for the zombies that have to try and kill Mark, just imagine you are trying to close the distance and Mark is just brilliantly exuding cockiness: “haha, missed me” “try again” “fell right into my trap” “it was my plan all along” . . . I know I would be frustrated

But actually why? There’s nothing to do in the game, you don’t get any cool interactions outside of the chopper trying to draw zombies toward you in the games bullshit way of ensuring you don’t actually get to enjoy yourself for to long anyways? There’s no ending, you say get farther… farther to what? Let’s say he crosses the entire map… what purpose would it serve and what would it look like? Cause it would literally just be this act video, but on the other side of the map. The only change would be what he’s wearing, and since I’m not a baby, that isn’t exactly engaging So tell me why it would be fun to watch him struggle with a damage model like this, spend however long trying to figure out what beta blockers are, for it to all mean nothing to the game ANYWAYS?

[@anakinskywalker9848]

Mark playing the best zombie game of all time makes me giddy. (thos arent maps they are spawn locations in knox. Originally the game only had a couple locations but now its got like 6 full towns one of them being the city lousiville but you can only spawn in a few) also you can make the zombies have an outline in settings so it tells you when its a good time to swing and pushing zombies away after a swing is typically safer then turning around (they can grab and if you have your back to them it increses bite chance and pull down chance) you can rip clothes and use the ripped sheats as bandages once bandaged you can pretty much leave it alone. even if the bandage gets dirt it will still heal if covered. Infections have never killed me before so feel free to ignore it bites are 100% fatal and you will die eventually after one happens for loot: There are dedicated areas that spawn good loot (like police stations, fire depts, military outposts, hospitals) homes typically have only a few if any items

0:37 there is only one map where all of those towns exist, along with many others that simply don't allow you to start within them such as March Ridge, Dixie and the big city of Louisville (but there's mods that allow you to spawn into any town, even allowing for specific areas or specific job oriented locations like fire stations or restaurants)

[@magicaldagger3599]

It's crazy seeing you play this game but it was very sweet to watch. a little tip to help fight in options your see aim outline in cursor when aiming it will highlight zombies when in range to hit them. also when aiming if you press space bar you can push zombies. If you right click your wounds you can treat it that way too instead of right clicking your bandage in your inventory. you can also rip clothes for bandages.

I've been waiting for this moment for so long. Just loaded it and I can't wait to see how Mark did! Edit: Don't worry about frustrating us. Most of this game is a learning process in trial and error. The way I see it, it's a rite of passage. To be frank, I'm impressed you made it as long as you did on your first go. You can sneak, I think the button was C. You can also sprint as opposed to jogging, but sprinting can make more noise and you can faceplant walls if you're not careful. Tips: looks like your groin started bleeding because you went through the tree. Outdoorsman reduces the chance of that if i remember You don't have to worry too much about infection, but it is a good idea to disinfect and change dressings since it does make your wounds heal longer. Zombie inflicted wounds are another matter. There was a point you turned down hopping through a broken window, you are able to hop through, but definitely clear the glass first. Aside from painkillers, any source of alcohol can help kill pain enough to help you sleep. Especially bourbon. Personally, I'd say guns are generally not advised to use in early game unless you have the skills and enough ammo to sustain. As you saw from the crowd, guns are LOUD. Sadly the saw isn't a weapon, but you can use it for carpentry which is an INCREDIBLE skill to level if you're not always on the move. You were taking the meds, watch the Remaining bar drop. Be careful because you CAN OD and die that way. Same if you take pain pills with alcohol, you'll fall asleep and never wake up. Molotovs are OP but they can backfire if you're not careful.

[@jake1up431]

A couple of notes from someone with 100+ hours in the game just in the last few weeks. 1.) the maps arent the only towns avaiable, theyre just the spawn points across KY. Rosewood is the best for beginners. 2.)the map is only in KY because in this universe thats where the outbreak starts. The whole game takes place across Knox county, and the map is huge 3.) clothing is important, certain articles of clothing will provide more protection from bites and scratches, tempretures, and have weight to them, so its important to wear the right stuff when needed. 4.) pick up a digital watch off a zombie, it gives you good info like the current in game time date and temperature outside. 5.) dont run unless absolutely necessary, it makes so much noise and attracts more zombies. Your base walk speed is faster then most zombies. If you feel the need to run try crouching by pushing ‘c’ first. You wont move as fast but you wont make as much noise. 6.) everyday in the early days of your save while tv broadcasts are still happening you can stand in the room with one on the ‘life and living’ channel on at 6:00,12:00, and 18:00 and you can earn levels in certain skills for free. There are vhs around as well that do a similar thing. 7.) important hot keys, h pulls the health tab, i is inventory, c is crouch, v when near a vehicle will open a radial showing you all available options with the car and L will show you current levels in all skills. Books will give you an xp multiplier for the skill for the next 2 levels, starting with vol. 1 for levels 1-2, vol. 2 for 3-4, and so on to level 10 If you wanna use this advice great if not good! Its a great game and im really excited to see one of my fav youtubers playin it!

[@nickaelperez9549]

I recomend also turning on hit outlines if you're new. It will show you exactly when you can hit a zomboid

[@goodlockerzhack]

Also there's a difference between holding e and pressing e, btw DO NOT use the right click button to select things in this game unless you're completely safe with dying fast, most actions can be made by pressing or holding e or simply looking the CONTAINERS in the inventory buttons, which Mark obviously missed during the entire game, and never use guns unless you want to die.
