Imagine being able to play project zomboid roleplaying as a true nomad, being able to have an entire playthrough between point A and B, without backtracking, just moving across the states like in the book The Road, by Cormac McCarthy.
That would be sick.
I agree, like a playthrough from the new area in build 42 all the way to Louisville
What’s stopping you?
@SirQuantization Anyone could do it in the build 41 map, but since the map is going to be wider in 42, it would be more of a challenge
Dude I’m so doing that. Get the shopping cart mod and put the conditions to colder and try to get to Louisville
That PLUS the new height will bring AWESOME creations I feel. Massive skyscraper filled cities and DEEP quarries. I’m SO excited
I hope we can see some more military installations or lore regarding the virus
Who knows. Unlikely as they like to keep things a mystery from what we've seen so far, but fingers crossed.
@@MrAtomicDuck I'm the type that love ambiguity like how in fallout we never truly know who started the war
Looks like the military exclusion zones or refugee camp
They’ve shown you’ll be able to actually read news papers and stuff and they’re working on more reading material so it’s possible
@@eden_skismwas those damn [information redacted] always starting shit over [information redacted]
Me, who has never traveled more than 2 miles from my starting house: neat :)
😂
This
Is
Sad
I have on,y traveled half a house away before I died (not including multiplayer)
Really hope they could somehow add trains to the game at some point. With the map so big, I want to play like I'm in metro exodus, truly living nomadically.
That would be cool but I feel like trains would require so much actual upkeep and materials and are so complex and variable that they would either be oversimplified from realism (which is not proper zomboid) or they would take a whole bunch of effort and time and expertise to implement and people likely would rarely use them due to the materials and upkeep required.
@@thesysop4998, they could go the alternative route like the Metro series did and jury rig a bunch of scrap-welded, impromptu rail cars. Think handcars or engine powered micro rail cars, i.e what they have in Metro. Makes it viable for the game and a goal to reach on the tech tree.
Train to Busan
Um, the map's not big enough to make railroads worth it. On top of that, the game's engine doesn't work like that.
@@thesysop4998 yeah they would be the perfect late game achievement and actually give the electrical skill a use
Pretty excited, especially cause this must be one of the main reasons they hired the Cherbourg dev (as much as I'd love to see that map be completed)!
Which maps did Cherbourg make?
@@JaCrispy3060 sorry, I think Dev that got hired is called Artyon! The map that they made was called Cherbourg(set in France). Absolutely stunning map if you haven't played it!!
@@AmILateToTheParty I should also add that you're best off NOT spawning on a random part of the map - you'll likely end up in an unfinished, VERY remote part of the map with basically nothing in terms of supplies
I tried it once. Spawned on a farm so far away from an built-up area, that even noclipping around for 20 irl minutes just led me to more fields and country roads
Ah, so that's where they went! I was wondering where the Cherbourg updates were.
My 10 year old pc: Im tired boss
Maybe ask it to look at the flowers while you go for the plug.
@@ballenboy😂
Bottle of water n you good
This game is a masterpiece. From the passionate dev team to the insanely well done ambience, its all done right. Never had a game immerse me like zomboid did. Literally sitting in a 3 story apartment munching away on chips while I hear the snapping of wood beneath me. Its magnificent.
I’m guessing the location of Raven Creek will have to be moved
Rip rave creek
Yes, correct. The modder will have to move the map.
@@MrAtomicDuck It’s gonna be interesting…
Lmao. Pack up and move on raven creek
I already have pretty much all the compatible map mods that you can get on my playthrough that don't conflict with each other to expand the map a big chunk with more towns and stuff. My map right now is pretty much full with stuff and places to explore, Hopefully they get them all fixed that are affected by the new map update in 42 soon after it rolls out.
they should put my hometown, Bardstown, in there. I could help scout locations and make accurate depictions. Bardstown is the second town in Kentucky to be declared and is, what locals claim, to be the "bourbon capital of the world" with many interesting locations like warehouses, factories, neighborhoods, police and fire stations, a main street for small businesses, a coast guard armory, and many more
Will we get huge warehouses filled with bourbon? if so im in
Ngl i wish there is more abandoned military things like FOBs or Evacuation sites, or convoys. It just makes me want to know how the military handle things before they left
I love the changes for the build that my grandchildren maybe see
Raven Creek devs must be pulling their hair out at this...
Knoxville TN? Jeez, dude. Maybe they'll keep goin' south into where I live
I love how this game still gets updates and the mods from the community are crazy
The only issue is that about 50% of the entire map is useless woods lol
Do you not think that's likely because they want to add locations to those areas in the future perhaps?
Future map mods will have you covered 👍🏻
probably because they're placeholders
@@MrAtomicDuckyeah, there is a mountain terrain area in the making tho
Or farm land
The way he pronounces Louisville kills me lmao everyone around here knows we call it "lullvull"
Oh naah, run yo hands! It's pronounced loey! All y'all lullvull finna be smoked
Maaaan nooo. Work on NPCs. Map is great as it is right now. We need animals and NPC humans.. thats what matters the most right now
You're right. I'll get on the phone to the developers and tell their map designers to work on programming AI right away!
Edit: In all seriousness, this isn't how development works. Every developer has their area, you can't expect UI designers or map designers to work on anything involving programming.
@@MrAtomicDuck I was mostly joking man. I know that of course. I love this game. But you have to admit that this NPC thing is taking way too long. I was hoping for animals this summer. But we are definitely not going to see that until next year
The game definitely needs more to do late game 🤔. Hopefully the new crafting mechanics will help
@@karelhemala5699but you can’t really blame them though, getting the npc and animals correct is a difficult task. Now it may sound easy but there are lots of factors that come into play. Tons if issues with npc will arrive as well, esp if they added quests or something similar, making it more mmorpg-ish and less zombie survival. You wouldn’t wanna be disappointed I assume so it’s better to wait
@@sythe9756 Yeah, AI would need a serious complex decision making setup - I.E how tired am i? - How many zomboids are targeting me - what are my weapons - are they threating my safehouse, ect. thousands of check strings like this to decide how to act running fairly often without hickups or lagging down the game.
Bruh why does this sound like those ads that you see on obscure tv channels when staying in a hotel. It becomes surreal if you watch or listen to it on repeat.
Absolutely can't wait for this expansion! It will also be interesting playing vanilla Zomboid on day one of the update.
so refreshing too knowing i can delete all my mods without indecisiveness
The cool thing is that you can literally survive in just half of one of these towns for quite a long time therefore you could spend a long time discovering new areas and during that long time the devs can be making it bigger
so glad my grandchildren will be able to see this release!
Thankfully you can too :D devs confirmed a 2024 release date for 42 which is when this map expansion is suspected to take place
@@noahdaanimalguy7673 you know how many mods i added just so the map can become bigger, take a guess. it's over 25
I wonder how this will impact ravencreek cause I think the new area changes where it is
Modder will likely have to move the map.
I like how they add little sneak peaks like this to the current playable build
When build 42 hits i will def play this again, would love to join a roleplay server, no pvp.
I'm so looking forward for trying an RV nomad survival run once the new build releases.
there is a mod that has this and it would be a really good basegame feature, expanded air events, maybe like there could be a passenger plane crash site with a bunch of zombies and if you got close enough to the area where the plane crash is, it would play a plane crash sound effect and maybe a big shadow over where your player is
Man, scope creep really killed all hype for this game
Hey atomic duck! What mod was that textured van at the start? Looks really cool!
The mod for that is 10 Years Later Cars & Wrecks
@@MrAtomicDuck Thanks! 😎
We need a youtuber to start the game with 20 people and whenever someone dies it he gets kicked out of the group no respawn etc
It would be hella fun to wacth
fr
and i still struggle to build anything and stuck to groceries and making curtain lol
Project Zombpid is one of those games for me where it seems a lot more fun to watch somebody else play it than even try to pick it up myself. I look forward to the TH-cam videos i volving the new sections.😊
Nice, now I can stay confined to my same farmhouse because my game is in an endless frozen hell of a winter so cold that leaving in a car for more than half a day is suicide.
atleast you can do that, with chickens!
Players:Nice map update
Map modders:
modded cities are 100% better
When moving my group to a new city we accidentally started driving into this area and we only realized it because the road suddenly just became a long grey rectangle and everything just suddenly felt wrong
I can’t even travel 3 miles out of my house before being maul to death and raging quitting
me and the boys going to the new map expansion in 2027 for 90% of us to die
Big W for PZ developers, this guys doing wonderful work
A year later, but finally we are seeing some smoke signals that 42 will be soonish =D Can't wait to check out these new areas. may find a better base location then my current happy spot in the city.
I didnt realize how big the map was. Then I jumped in a truck n just went south...dear god
There is so much extra areas you can get through mods, the default area is also huge. I am not sure this is really what the game needs as a priortiy.
Man I wish this game was still relevant
Maybe if the devs weren't lazy
As someone who lives in Kentucky, my guess is at least one of the map expansion areas from what i know of that area is going to be the state capitol of Frankfort as its in that general area on the map irl. But thats just a guess from me
Judging from the direction it's the doe creek / Brandenburg area
I want to see a video game (like fallout or stalker) or indie animation series about exploring an abandoned city based on the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow concept.
That half-city has lots of zombies, and some good loot. The restaurant-boat is so cool.
I didn't realize how big this extension will be.
I sure hope they add my house 😳
dude hunkering down in ur own house would be crazy in pz
I really want a theme park/fun fair map or a resort/hotel one in the main map.
Id prefer deeper ocean than wider at this point
It’d be cool if there was an underground military base, like deep in the forest, a nearly impossible to get to little stairwell that leads underground, with booby traps hidden around it and it infested with military zombies like the mall, and at the very end, if you manage to fight through the 1000+ zombies, you get a mini gun
I said to myself when I watched this for the first time: “that’s like 8 or 9 louisvilles, that’s crazy”
Bro imagine if they eventually added like enough land to cover some east coast states that would be sick.
The pcs would probably catch on fire tho. But idk how the map renders.
I hope Indy Stone starts trickling out updates as the used to instead of taking the market stance of waiting until it's all done. Playing unstable versions was part of what made Zombiid great.
Build 42 is gonna get me to play vanilla again 😅
Hi, one year later, no build 42
One thing i hope happens is some new cars, paint jobs for them, and for EVERY car after a certain amount of time will rust and eventually turn into their "Burned out/Wrecked" variant.
Maybe the ability to build spike pits or more explorable undergrounds like sewers or a jail under a courthouse, Ect.
Cant wait to see npc humans and animals.
Well you can just spawn rosewood, and visit all the towns/places and end up in louisville
Pair that with over the river mod and you got a HUGE map
Never heard of the river mod, what does that do? If it doesn’t counteract leavenburg adds a nice place over the Ohio river, so an even bigger map :D
I wonder if in the expansion, that they’ll make it a story element similar to Fo76? Like that’s where all the survivors went to after the initial outbreak. That could be the ingame reason
I live in the city across the bridge from louisville, hopefully they give us some love eventually 😢
You know a game is good when your first 10 hours have all been played consecutively, at work, whilst forgetting ur shift change is about to come 😂
Have you done or could you do a video on the best mods you use for the game. I have seen a few, like the look of the Nov mod and the one that makes everything overgrown.
I have done several videos on mods in the past, give the videos page on my channel a look and you'll find some :)
Or maybe substantial bigger but I doubt all of those cells will have the same density as Louisville cells. Also the game doesn’t really need a expansion I feel like the games big enough already, and mods will satisfy your urge for more areas. I feel like a better focus would be towards npc’s and end game stuff. Once you get sustainable there’s not really anything to do accept explore and why explore a bunch of homes that are for the most part the same just to find loot you don’t really need. It would be cool if you could like recruit a bunch of npc and create a colony and maybe have a quest path that allows you get a scientist npc that after finding him the proper supplies and waiting a certain amount of time could make a cure to beat the game. There’s a ton of cool stuff they could do that isn’t wasting a ton of time handcrafting another section to the map that may not even be a starting area so by the time you get there you probably don’t need the loot.
Theoretically if 2 players were present at Louisville and another was in the new map expansion they probably wouldn’t know of each others existence beyond the fact that they joined
It kinda looks like a wilderness-oriented area, from the blurred image
Im new player this is 1 year ago and still no release 😭😭
What happens to your old save?
I always wondered why there are fully paved roads out that way that just abruptly stop in the woods
I cant wait for build 42
Meanwhile I've barely finished exploring Riverside and only just started exploring RoseWood. I tried walking between the two because I spawned away from my sister and that took ages (NEVER AGAIN). I wonder how many road trips is it gonna take to go over all these new maps.
Damn if they adding a map this big the wait is reasonable.
Whens it coming and what's it called
i hope they add something like fort knox
Ngl a map expansion is GENIUS
Since i dont go any further than a few miles from rosewood, I'll likely never see that part of the map when they add it
Hurray! I honestly hope there is a way too turn off NPC's if they add them, don't think PZ needs NPC's too be better, plenty of other things require attention but this is amazing
Cant wait for foraging to be broken here as well... Like luisville
I have played 850 hrs and I can say this game doesn't need another huge city like Louisville but many small one player could start in.
In build 42 cell size will change from 10x10 to 8x8 so Louisville added the 87,5 build 42 cells and it will add 275,2 build 41 cells.
Still update will add 5 times size of area than Louiville update.
Source?
@@Jimmiesmom last reddit post from devs. It was about quarrel about Raven creek and map update. One of devs said in it cells Will change sizes so all maps also need to be updated.
I just wish they add more players into the games servers, 60+ players would be really decent.
Rip ravencreek. I guess they're going to have to move it. The new area looks to cover the part where ravencreek was
They should add Clarksville tennessee!
I haven’t played project zomboid, but I know that it’s more than likely just the suburb of a much larger city.
rest in peace raven creek after this update
I just realized you sound just like MrAlexTech, the DaVinci resolve tutorial guy! And your name is also very similarly structured. Coincidence? who knows
So amped for 42!
Multiplayer via steam with the boys gonna be extra lagging now
you can use debug mode to quick move out there and find 2 towns
You can see them on project zomboid map too
The Map for this game is about the weirdest for any game I've seen lol. On a map app showing the in-game map when it was the L shape I thought the app was broken lol
With each update, the Knox exclusion zone increases
Honestly, there is no amount of time too long. I think the wait will be worth it.
I've only had the game for about a month. What happens to your old saves when a new version is released? Does the update simply wash them away?
Would probably depend on if anything in the save contradicts the new version, like any removed items or something
@@noahdaanimalguy7673 I ended up asking the devs and they basicaly said the major updates will make saves from the previous version incompatible; that only minor point-release updates will remain compatible and even then there can be problems.
What they specifically said was that they always TRY to maintain save compatibility, but with major updates there will be too many differences.
So on Steam, you can set your updates to manual to put off updating if you want, but once the game updates, your old saves are toast.
How will it work? If the expansion gets added, will i have to start a new world? Or can i continue my world without problems.
Yes, you will need to start new saves with most major updates. The last one was almost 2 years ago so it's not very often you'll have to do this.
@@MrAtomicDuck oh ok thanks
I can barely leave any starter city motherfuckers add a hole region to the game. Love this
They should also add dirkerdam to the Vanilla map
It looks like it has a hill that goes high up to create like higher elevation
Welp, Rip Ravencreek but hopefully there are new urban areas, I really wish the devs would let us spawn in Urban locations though, I like fighting in crowded streets.
Neet update. Better than nothing, but i dont think this game gets another new wave of players until they add npcs. I think sales would massively increase. Not many games out there that are multiplayer with the zomboid style and have npcs events, traders and etc.
I'm keeping my expectations low, it's probably mostly forests and a couple of towns
Is it out yet??
Unfortunately not :( but it is coming out this year most likely in build 42!
And yet, no fort knox. I did that mod on the steam workshop, but when I did, it was temporary: let’s give the community a sort of “Fort Knox” while devs release the real version, but years have passed and still nothing.
