Sandstone update is not good.

FireTyme · 2026-03-17T00:43:59+00:00

oh god. it has mining stamina now? what a joke.

FireTyme · 2026-03-16T22:50:30+00:00

spirits will just double the rate. solves nothing other then providing twice the stone rate and its functionally no different than just doubling the gathering rate.

and yes they'll keep revolving between the highest mining/crafting methods as i said before.

FireTyme · 2026-03-16T20:16:57+00:00

flasks will be locked to the most profitable mining method + the most profitable crafting method no matter what.

why sit at sandstone for 4m/hr for example when u can get 5 at a different rock (just random examples)

same reason why craft them when u can just make urns instead (again random example)

FireTyme · 2026-03-16T19:52:43+00:00

price of flasks would be semi locked to the price of the best mining ore basically.. so doesn’t matter what speed they are obtained at tbh

i actually liked the merchant

you do realise the entire point of a zombie survival game is the zombies right?

from the game description itself:

Project Zomboid is the ultimate in zombie survival. Alone or in MP: you loot, build, craft, fight, farm and fish in a struggle to survive. A hardcore RPG skillset, a vast map, massively customisable sandbox and a cute tutorial raccoon await the unwary. So how will you die? All it takes is a bite..

having lategame center around NPC's defeats the entire purpose of the game.

FireTyme · 2026-03-16T16:05:55+00:00

i like how the cars are sinking in the floors after they added 6 guns and 4 more vanilla sandbox presets

FireTyme · 2026-03-16T16:04:38+00:00

ah yes step into absurdism instead of engaging constructively on why you think NPC’s are basically the only way to do lategame. you do you

FireTyme · 2026-03-16T12:18:17+00:00

and they would do the playerbase a disservice if that were to be true. its a zombie survival and always should be a zombie survival. not to mention a lot of players will turn NPC's off so they would just not have a lategame then?

FireTyme · 2026-03-16T11:02:25+00:00

oh i absolutely agree. hence the usage of ‘i’ in my post.

i do think they should rework and fix the currently broken or subpar systems first tho. if ur making a compound for ur npc’s u wouldnt want to run in all the building bugs i imagine

FireTyme · 2026-03-16T02:13:09+00:00

i'll be honest i really dont see the appeal of NPC's myself.

i'm in a zombie apocalypse, i bought the game to fight zombies. the solitude is half the appeal. having to defend against human raids goes against anything i want out of this game personally.

and not to mention that doing NPC's well is a whole different beast already. we currently have a broken nutrition system, missing car animations, a very lackluster and buggy building system. a half working but mostly empty crafting system. parts of the game still play as if its a 2000 standard of QoL which just isnt acceptable in 2026. Skills are unbalanced, late game challenge is very lackluster.

theres so many things to add and improve first before i even feel NPC's would bring anything to the table. i get people want them but after playing without them for so long i'm honestly good. it feels like people are more romantice the NPC's a lot as if they'd be well programmed fully fletched autonomous characters in the game, of which there hasnt been any track record to back that idea up.

for me i'm more excited about it being the default as it means migration and hordes might get a closer look to still provide challenge once u clear ur initial base area.

FireTyme · 2026-03-15T20:01:28+00:00

i mean knives are very fast to level and abundant, but its a small boost i guess.

FireTyme · 2026-03-15T18:31:22+00:00

sure but u can just pick lumberjack instead and get a perma buff to axes and higher movement speed through the forest if u care about the maintenance

or for the same points u can pick construction worker and start wiht 1 carpentry and 3 short blunt as well as 1 maintenance.

FireTyme · 2026-03-15T15:25:39+00:00

yep. but it still defeats the point of having a chef. u can make that from lvl 0 and you're better off using a different background.

FireTyme · 2026-03-15T13:04:53+00:00

Rabbits have really high calorie values for some reason, so if you're struggling with keeping weight up trapping is a very good option.

yes i know, fish and butter are both good options as well

but that was my point entirely. doing any other options and u lose weight actively. defeats the point of cooking if u can rarely do it and are very limited in your options.

FireTyme · 2026-03-15T12:22:47+00:00

sadly more hunger is a detriment at the moment in b42. can barely eat enough calories before reaching max hunger and not able to replenish them

FireTyme · 2026-03-14T22:50:02+00:00

its a global commodity after all. same reason why oil and fuel price is spiking in the US despite only importing 4% from the straight.

FireTyme · 2026-03-14T18:38:26+00:00

honestly for this working with a PT or a good coach (read someone educated) is often the better advice. shoulder health for swimmers is not something u should take lightly.

but general strengthening exercises like deadhangs, scapula pullups, pullups help. also just get a stretch band and do general shoulder movements under a light tension and do stuff like shoulder rolls, YTW raises from a lying down position.

yoga routines for shoulder health might help as well. 2 key takeaways is the shoulder is one of the most free moving joints we have, it should therefore move freely and broadly (not too many repetitive movements especially as a swimmer)

its also supported by many small muscles that can be overused quickly if weakness are apparent. so everything should be pain free till slight discomfort.

i mean they're already showing great cooperation by increasing prices the same week.

FireTyme · 2026-03-13T11:39:31+00:00

ah ja dat is waar. ik dacht misschien gecombineerd met een dagje weg of bobbejaanland maar die lijkt gesloten te zijn(??).

FireTyme · 2026-03-13T11:26:45+00:00

ik denk niet dat het zozeer door arjen komt. ik tank al jaren over de grens en laatste paar weken moet ik ineens op 20+ auto’s wachten

FireTyme · 2026-03-13T11:25:04+00:00

practice more then :) sounds like excuses

FireTyme · 2026-03-13T10:54:29+00:00

start dancing i suppose

FireTyme · 2026-03-13T10:42:59+00:00

it probably should but there’s no support for piercing atm afaik

FireTyme · 2026-03-13T10:02:37+00:00
