I've got about 40 hours on B42 and I have yet to see a single generator mag. I did learn that level 3 electrical does the same thing, so it might be easier to get the 2 skill books instead
@@StratPlays my feeling on skill books is that the specialty stores, like an electronic store, are now more likely to have the books. I might just have gotten lucky, though
Muscle strain is dependant on weapon level, so you kinda just wanna hit as much as you can early on, not do ground strikes as you'll just be forced to do ground strikes for longer. 1 weapon lvl = 2.4 ish str levels, so low str isnt really an issue. Your strength is leveling faster than fitness with burpees because you also level strength carrying stuff and swinging your weapon, you gotta run to level fitness naturally, hence the big difference in leveling. You can also attach the kanteen so it weighs less. Love the videos keep up the great work.
My biggest concern in the early game is being out of stamina and getting stuck in a death spiral (having to run from zombies, never getting a break, get swamped, dead). I'm okay with leveling it slower if it means a safer early game - or at least that's my reasoning behind it. I didn't know about he kanteen, thanks for the tip!
makes zero sense the way it is. if I have 10 in axe, why the fuck do I get muscle strain when I swap to using a baseball bat... dumbest update, turned that muscle strain shit off
6:23:10 if you look at your temp in the car, you were losing health cause you were on a slow roast haha also love that one of the turkeys pecked at you and then immediately ran into your car and died
Strat. Really curious to hear your take on build42, to me feels like they made a very punishing game even more punishing now. Example is the various speed of zombies, what took a lot time herding earlier feels like take eternity now. Finding books seems near impossible. Tbh from watching b42 videos I kinda feel I want b41 but with graphics/crafting improvements from b42. I guess I’m scared of change 😅
I don't mind the changes, you'll adjust with the increase in difficulty in time. My biggest issue is how janky combat has become. I feel like it's much less consistent than it was before.
Lol I'm actually partnered with Flesson on this channel now, so all I have to do is record and upload them to the cloud and he handles the rest - editing, upload to YT, all the backend stuff, etc. I'm going to increase my output on this channel big time in 2025!
in b41, the tv shows for xp triggered based on real time instead of game time so speeding through the program would lose you some of the xp gain. i'm not sure if this is still true in b42, but it is worth keeping in mind just in case! (unless you've already confirmed that this was changed haha) either way, happy to see some zomboid back!
Regarding books/school - there are 1-2 books per classroom in those corner shelves, you skipped them in your first two visits (not made it through yet)
1:13:15 you talk about getting stuck in the combat mode when right clicking. I’ve noticed this as well and it’s bad. I have just been tapping my combat toggle key to get rid of it. If anyone knows a solution to the issue I would love to hear it! The only thing I think might be causing it is right clicking and dragging, possibly with another key like space bar? Great series, thanks!
6:04:56 I've been told that towing stuff makes a TON of noise. You spent quite a bit of time towing that wreckage which probably drew most of them out of the buildings. Then when you went to tow the van you wanted, that was when they swarmed. That said, I don't know if this is actually true. I trust you know what you're doing since I watched your zero to hero series on Build 41 (great editing there btw) so maybe I'm just talking out of my ass.
Not that far in to the video so not sure if you know or not, im where you got the truck. But its really bad for the battery if its low already to start and stop often, you need to drive for a while for it to recharge, so you dont end up killing the battery.
I had an idea, when it's time to evolve more time-consuming skills, edit the server's xp to 2x or 3x so it doesn't become so time consuming and boring, so you'll be able to complete the challenge.
6:14:00 I feel like you DID make a mistake there. You looped the cubicle separators too fast so the zombie slightly ahead hit the cubicle but the other one didn't hit the cubicle so it pathed around it. I feel like you take a bunch of unnecessary risks but that might be chalked up to you being the better player so they're not actually risks.
I actually don't think CDDA is very tough - but if enough people want to see it, I can! Maybe I'll do it as a zero stats start like this and CDDA? That might be more interesting
@StratPlays i ran zero to hero cdda exclusively in b41, I actually don't think it's possible in the current unstable. Every house is flooded with zombies. I'm struggling to find a working route with decent stats.
new moodles are the worst part of the update, why the fuck did they change something that wasnt broken, thank fuck for modders fixing what the devs break
I'll never not use the EXP mods. The balance is just off on the vanilla game. No one takes 3-4 months to exercise and diet and fails to achieve a full on gym bro buff or even beginner body builder physique which should more than represent a 10 strength and fitness.
you should post your build in the description or comment for future reference kind of a pain looking it over in the video when you cant just see the full list. Also no goddamn idea why you took prone to illness that a death wish if you get sick.
“This is how you died. You tried to do burpees for 20 minutes.”
I love Project Zomboid. Honestly, I will watch a 6h video even if it's not a challenge, just chilling in the apocalypse.
4:05:05 rushing back home because you're desperate to watch a tv show in a zombie apocalypse is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
If you want to siphon gas you need rubber hoses now.
You're telling me I can't use my mouth to siphon the gas anymore?
Generator was in the barn across from where you were living. You now have 3 different symbol tabs.
Magazines in mailboxes, best place to find generator magazine.

King is flourishing!
Ayeeeeee! Glad to see ya playing build 42 Strat!
love your work man ❤
skill gain from the TV caps at lvl 3 u can change it in settings 1:41:09 ur correct
I'm really enjoying the video. Would love more guides and updates on Build 42.
Thanks, I've got more B42 stuff in the works!
Yay more longform Strat vids!
regarding the 1-5 hits: zombiehealth is now random too. between 65 and 350 as far as i have seen
Interesting, I didn't realize they varied the HP too. Thanks for the heads up!
Love that your videos are so long
Let’s go welcome back

the beginning of the end, people, was when he forgot to turn off his engine. Remember that and don't be that guy/girl
Whoa, This and bannerlord this close, you must be trying to avoid family this holiday lol jk.

I found the easiest way is to do a quick sprint to get out of it! It's super annoying and I hope they fix it
Strat, it's hurting my soul that you don't see that "Tabs" in the map symbol screen.
Oooh no way! I'm going to forget it again probably lol but I appreciate the heads up

Last time with the cubicles you had the same issue and went to three wide

I need more videoooos keep them coming
Played a game the other day with burn ward, took me 5 days but was able to cure the burns if you get fast healer

Hey there. I've been loving your content. Are you still planning to continue your 1 million kill challenge from B41? Thanks for everything!
Also they removed the maintenance gain if you stomp with weapon in hand
So when are you doing all skills max speedrun again? ;-)
Just reinstalled PZ just to see what all the fuss is about hope to see some of y'all on there. Stay frosty survivors, and dont get bit! 😉
oh shit pz hype!

Will this be a series?
So I don't want to spoil anything, but I'll be recording more Zomboid next month :D
I love Zomboid stuff!!@@StratPlays
@4:48:10 Build 48 added a lot of content, but it is all for the building side of things. So a lot of what you said was rubbish, isn't.
CDDA when? :P
lol that one is tough
@Will-ri6ub yes, yes itis
I actually don't think CDDA is very tough - but if enough people want to see it, I can! Maybe I'll do it as a zero stats start like this and CDDA? That might be more interesting

@@bharper2011 I love to hear "not possible". That's my kind of challenge! You can learn so much even from the ones that aren't doable
Are you aware that you can look under the hood of cars to see a detailed list of it's condition?
Hero Challenge Hero Challenge
woppaaaaa
I think you don't get exp for episodes which you've already seen.

gotta show some love to the editor, thank you Flesson 🫶
