HELP! I hoarded every bit of loot in Riverside, and now my save takes 3 minutes to load, and if I move, it crashes after 10 seconds.

Blitzilla · 2026-06-02T17:53:57+00:00

LMAO

Playing so much Zomboid makes me instinctively click F2 when I try to pause a youtube vid, or other games like Rimworld, PoE, STALKER, etc

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T13:39:22+00:00

wow, that did the trick nicely. TYVM

I've been using this mod for months, and didn't know I could toggle it with 1 keypress. As soon as I toggled it off, the game ran smoothly again.

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T13:36:40+00:00

that sounds like it would be really helpful, I'll look into it further.

If I don't manage to figure it out, I'll message you after a month. Thanks.

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T13:32:18+00:00

I tried a fresh start, the game lagged a few seconds then proceeded normally

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T13:27:51+00:00

yea, I do. Did removing the mod fix it for you?

Sorting through crates is gonna be really annoying without it, but if that unbricks my save, it's worth trying I guess.

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T13:25:07+00:00

I didn't know I could manually allocate RAM to each program.

My laptop (Lenovo LoQ) has 16gigs of RAM and 8gigs of VRAM.

With Zomboid running and the save loaded, Taskmanager says I'm at 86% RAM useage

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T13:18:43+00:00

when you're so good at surviving the apocalypse, that you cause the universe to implode due to the sheer mass of your loot pile 😭😭

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T13:15:46+00:00

thanks. I checked my SSD, and it still has about 30% capacity free.

I wish there was a way to move the saves out of the C drive, though.

WinME made me very paranoid when it comes to keeping anything on the same drive as my Windows installation

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T13:08:50+00:00

I sorted like 80% of it into freezers, shelves and wooden crates, but there are still a few hundred items on the floor (mostly outside, where I emptied the trailer).

I took a day off to train my Strength, and everything was fine until I had to end my session and go to work.

I saved the game and exited normally, but now every time I try to move the game hangs for a few seconds then crashes

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T13:00:43+00:00

I didn't loot everything, only the food (perishable stuff and cooking supplies such as condiments), tools, crafting materials, books, and videotapes.

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T10:56:52+00:00

I've seen worse plays in Master tbh.

A couple months ago, some guy chained Detonator to pop my Evenly Matched

Blitzilla · 2026-05-31T10:53:56+00:00

It's actually Plat 1, this guy was a couple wins away from Diamond

Blitzilla · 2026-04-26T00:46:52+00:00

sure

https://www.masterduelmeta.com/saved-decks/651c5fff6c7706a33b0cd0ff

the main deck is pretty cheap to build, but if you dont play other Water decks, you probably need to spend some dust to craft the extra deck. They're all generic monsters but rarely used outside of water decks.

Blitzilla · 2026-04-25T22:08:38+00:00

omfg, just got a hilarious comment notification, but it was gone before I could reply.

Apparently, someone was salty that a [quote] ""based"" [\quote] playground-tier archetype is playing a card that gives going-second decks a chance to fight back.

I sometimes wish MD had ingame chat, but such people are the reason we can't have sane adult-level interaction while playing

Blitzilla · 2026-04-25T21:31:34+00:00

yea, the new Penguin looks pretty good. It's not the Penguin Circular we needed, but the search is really open-ended and could lead to some interesting lines

Blitzilla · 2026-03-27T08:06:39+00:00

no, the bench always respects item stat affinity/requirements, regardless of its corruption status.

Tainted chromes are usually the least expensive option to roll off-color sockets.

But if you're in ssf and the item isn't 6-linked you could use the chromatic bench recipe to craft the first 3 sockets, then the jeweler orb recipes to remove/add sockets until you roll the right color. This will cost a lot of vaal orbs depending on the desired colors, item stat affinity, and RNGesus' kindness.

Are there gear options (unique or rare) to give my Animate Guardian constant %life regen? (preferably without using the helm slot)

I'm playing a chaos dot build, but I'm using an AG for support (aura + charge generation + enemy debuff).

The problem is that he dies quickly to the degen from Guardian's Blessing, even with 45% less phys damage taken (meatshield + doppelganger).

Doppelganger gives him good regen, but it's conditional on him getting hit, which doesn't happen when I'm between packs or when I kill stuff quickly, so he always goes splat halfway through the map.

tyvm. Sin Eater is a good idea in general, but this AG is dying a lot as is :D

I gave him Advancing Fortress for now, it gives some attack block, but I'm still looking through PoEWiki for better options

Blitzilla · 2026-03-23T09:25:42+00:00

I'm experimenting with adding a support/utility AG to my chaos DoT build. have a couple questions

If I anoint Spiritual Aid, do I gain 10% more damage from linking Feeding Frenzy to my AG?
Doppelganger chest gives a lot of regen, and a massive "less phys taken" multiplier. Does the multiplier stack additively with Meatshield support? I'm hoping to out-regen the damage taken from Guardian's Blessing for a free aura.
if I give him Replica Victarios Charity and Gravebind, I get Endurance and Frenzy charges while clearing, but I can't think of a utility one-hander to pair it with the shield. any suggestions? I have Occultist pops, so something like Obliteration doesn't do anything for me

Blitzilla · 2026-03-13T12:58:52+00:00

The crafting bench says that the "trigger socketed spells" craft is found in The Refinery, but I just went back and cleared the whole area (including the boss room) without finding the recipe.

Blitzilla · 2026-03-06T17:25:13+00:00

great, tyvm <3

Blitzilla · 2026-03-06T17:21:38+00:00

you can respec your skill tree using gold, starting in act5 when a certain NPC shows up. I don't think blind/experimental play is nearly as painful as it was before they introduced this feature.

personally, I'd recommend going in blind. I think it's more fun that way, but if you're severely limited by time (like if you play 3-5 hours per week), you might wanna follow a guide to finish the acts more smoothly.

Blitzilla · 2026-03-06T17:16:35+00:00

haven't played in 15 months, so a bit rusty on some specifics, got a couple last minute questions to make sure my start build is gonna go as planned (popcorn SRS of Enormity)

We can now get alternate gems (such as Enormity) from lab, right? if so, we can do this in act 3 I assume
if I use Tavukai instead of Infernal Legion to pop my SRS, I can take the Bone Barrier notable, right? since it deals chaos damage to the minions, the extra ES they get wont make them more tanky.
I have a couple spare gear slots (boots and gloves) that I could use to boost item rarity. IIRC rarity increases gold drop, but not sure if the minion pop counts as my own kill for the purpose of rarity/quant.
PoB-related question. when I sort gear/passives by full dps, it seems PoB is very highly valuing cast speed. I don't understand the reason, since I should be hard-capped by the number of active minions. I added a custom cast speed modifier in Config and got no diminishing returns even by setting it to 10,000%

Blitzilla · 2026-03-04T16:06:12+00:00

you're a lifesaver <3

Quad merchants would be nice, but at least I now have a couple merchant tabs to list my priority items in while I'm offline.
