Ditto. I'd love to have a narrative challenge in the future though.

Yeah. I have the built in one on obs set. I'm constantly trying to tune that. Part of the issue is I'm constantly talking. Another is my sound mixing. I'm way better than I use to be but still further to go for sure. When I started streaming it was obnoxious. I really just need to sit down for a day and hammer at it. Push that up on a priority list.

Legit strat. I personally only do burns like that when I'm ready to crash out. However I have a guns only playthrough in the works currently that you'll see something like that happen.

Level 3 is a grind but doable. Thank you for that

The door flash! Yeah I used to be good at it in b41 but the new door animation messes with me.

Certainly not a feature but not a bug. Bathroom spawns and now basement spawns are a design flaw of how the in game "director" spawns zombies. I know why it happens but it's annoying.

​@@Bv_gan bathroom orgy.

@@Bv_gan is it? i always thought it was intended since irl this would happen ALOT because scared people tend to go hide at the same place (fort alamo style) always found it very accurate to real life situation.

That's 3 competing concepts you've got there. People do huddle together in fear and emergency situations because it offers comfort but the where in that situation would be in a comfortable space like a bedroom, perhaps a basement or spaces that would allow for enough space between them but still proximity. People do find safety in bathrooms but that's usually against the elements like a tornado or other weather events where the strength of material could protect you. There is a psychology of going to the bathroom for comfort but that's to isolate yourself from others and reduce anxiety. Finally the Alamo isn't a great example to your point. Overall I'd accept a packed basement as realistic, not a bathroom. Even if we talk history of gas attack instructions, a bathroom might work to reduce exposure but the people of Knox County didn't know the zombie strain was airborne before it was way too late. Fight, flight or freeze wouldn't pack a bunch of people in a bathroom behind a closed door to escape zombies in the streets.

@@Bv_gan nah you got it all wrong, i speak from real life experiences, people do and will instinctively hide together in the bathrooms or any rooms that is the closest, so this is in fact most probably plausible in a zombie apocalypse scenario. again i know not everyone can comprehend this fact but in a real life situation and not a theoretical one, family DO tend up to cluster together in a small room (fort alamo "last resort") . so yeah i find beauty in that maybe non intended situation in PZ and i would sure like for it to stay that way, makes things more true to a real life situation. hope i helped expand your cognitive knowledge

Someone told me I should keep some brown pants while I stream because this keeps happening to me

Well gaming is gaming for gaming sake and one thing doesn't have to do with another right? I hear your perspective and appreciate it.

I think you missed the title bud.

It's not that hard. For safe places head west. You're still faster when crouch sprinting. You can do just fine without survival skills. There's plenty of food since CDDA is only one rarity setting higher than Apocalypse. There are a lot of animals to eat and enough time to learn survival skills even without specialization, though that is optional.

I dig that perspective. What's the point of surviving if you're the only one

A lot of the veterans are just struggling to adjust. By the time build 42 is in the main branch people will have figured themselves out.

@@Bv_gan most things are the same. zombies are sometimes in more inconvenient quantities in bad places. but theyre slow now. and getting food and weapons is easier in many ways the biggest new challenge is figuring out how to not bait too many zombies at once

@zeratultemplar6604 yeah man. We did this video to prove that. Grant muscle strain is something to learn to manage but long term survivalist don't really have that problem because we don't go looking for or taking big fights. I love b42 right now.

Thanks man. I really appreciate it. We did have a shopping point to switch to jump into build 42 but we were safe and thriving by the end

Classic. The squirrel always gets me

So the honest answer is you're not. CDDA starting in winter is rough and you should expect to go underweight and possibly lower. Your build and occupation affects this but if you have setup for fishing I would probably go for chum. Find a sack and a shovel, create sack of sand and then make chum. I believe there are recipes that let you turn any meat to chum too so if you find that then you can go to the farm and butcher the animals since the game loads them dead in CDDA. Finally I think maggots can be used as bait in place of worms but I'm not 100 on that. For me during the winter I still forage. Acorns can be found which are high fat, along with rosehip which doesn't spoil and has a good fat content. Keeps my calories up and I tend to say in the mid 70s

I've heard that. I'll have to give it a go some time.

@@Bv_gan id start with learning CDDA's controls first the game has a notorious learning curve and that is what most people find the defining factor for even playing the game at all :) Good luck on your venture brave adventures :D

We all suck until it clicks. A few of the bigger Zomboid tubers have run videos on "how many play hours of zomboid until you're good". I have 700+ hours in game man and there are still things I'm learning. I'm just good at my play style if that makes sense.

Its all about practise what BV said, i have over 3000hours in the game and this update has messed my play style something fierce showing you that even a minor change can turn you back into a noob again. At-least i have the hours to understand on when to back off and also map knowledge is very important.

My man, I play a vegan character in game intentionally. I do not know what you are doing but I have no trouble staying between 76 and 80 kilos. Add that we're clearing Muldraugh in our current running series and I've killed 600+ zombies in under a month. Full permission to advert your stream or links so I can give you some feedback.

@@Bv_gan build 42? i ve eaten 3 kg of berries salads per day = - 1 kg per 2-3 days)

Okay, so hunger and calories are different in game. Calories are a hidden value without mods or the nutritionist trait. Generally speaking berries are not high in calories and are actually one of the lowest calorie items in game. Between mushrooms and berries when foraging, use mushrooms if your weight is an issue. Berries are a good way to manage thirst and conserve water. However, crops veggies and fruits (as categories for foraging) are way better to get once you have the foraging level. Stay away from radishes as they are the lowest all around. Avocados I believe are the highest fat plant food in game in build 41 but I'm not sure for build 42. Eat more fat, gain boost to weight gain.

@@Bv_gan i ve ate full cow per day - still losing weight, i ve ate fruits non stop - still losing weight. Seems like now only fat in food works to weight, not callories, as before.

Eating a full cow isn't contextually accurate here. Example, build 41 beef patty gives 400 calories roughly. Assuming that the butchery skill was implemented similar to foraging which would mean your level impacts the quality of the time and number of items produce. So even assuming a single cow gives 2K calories when you eat all that it has to offer we still have to have the calories in vs calories out conversation. I do not know how many calories you burn in a day. The range of calories the body can manage in game are -2200 to positive 4000. So if you were already in the negative range a single cow won't reset your weight loss. Add that you'll be full when you're done eating so if you go fight a horde of zombies and burn those calories then you never made it to a positive or neutral state. It's a math issue here and I can't really tell you what could be going on without seeing the variables of your gameplay.

Do it! CDDA will kill you multiple times in the first few minutes just waking up in the burning house. It's half the fun to just be hoping for a good roll on the start. Skill does come into play after you get out of the house but Zomboid is a game about repetition and experience. I've raged quit for a solid month after losing a 6 month character. It's part of the charm.

@@Bv_gan Yknow what, I'll do it

You know I've picked up a lot of glass in game, I don't recall ever cutting myself in either build. Granted I've already ensured I'm hearing gloves on my characters but here I'm not so maybe I am that luck.

@@Bv_gan Wonder if the update broke it, im pretty sure you get glass lodged in your hands when you do that usually...?

Definitely not a sure thing with the hands. When you step on glass you'll get glass lodged but it'll make no sense if picking up glass that would happen all the time. Even jumping through a broken window will scratch and something lacerate you.

Park ranger: Eagle eyed, former scout, outdoorsy, wilderness knowledge. Slower learner, hearty appetite, prone to illness, reluctant fighter, weak stomach, slow reader, Sunday Driver. I'll add this to the description too.

@ Cheers!

Lol. I have actually. I was amused for sure. I also appreciate that well water can be tainted as well. Speaking as a person who has lived off well water and treatment is not easy

Well I'll be working on something of that effect on the main series

I appreciate the feedback. I've flipped the video list based on your recommendation. Refresh or give it a bit.

@@Bv_gan omg how fast, thank you very much, now I can look through them all in one go ^^

Heard. I didn't think of the barn at all at the time. Solid strat though

Vanilla, no mods in use here.

@@Bv_gannot even classic moodles replacement… smh.. fake zomboid fan..

​@canatack9596 how is he a fake zomboid fan? 🙃??

​@@Bv_ganthats pretty good all things considered.

Challenge accepted. I'll find a realistic way into the city in build 42 and give you a shout out when I've got it.

@@Bv_gan haha I'm telling you I cleaned 5 houses in the bottom right of Muldraugh but is imposible to go foward, zombies come from every place there is no way to progress. It seems they want us to go sneak and try to grab something and run, no more going into psycho killer mode cleaning and killing everything.

I disagree. Shameless plug, you should check out my current running survival, we've cleared about 1/3 of Muldraugh within a month as of tomorrow's video upload. I will say that they want you to roleplay your character build. If you're looking for a melee fighter try this build: Fire officer, wakeful brawler athletic strong, standard negative traits will fit. Spawn and get an axe or long blunt, you'll see a massive difference in combat.

@darion88 I'm not sure this a video bro. It took me 30mins from Westpoint vanilla spawn to get into Louisville to the main park in Louisville.

comments like this make me wanna upload videos cause you still become op just like maybe 30 zombies a day go home , 30 more , go home before like 90 in a day was a solid number if you werent particularly fit .
