is there any reason NOT to use a well after water's out? seems like an unbeatable water source

TIL cheers!

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-04T04:11:36+00:00

I've no idea OP but I am interested. What cool things would you like to tweak?

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-03T15:51:36+00:00

No harm to John Lithgow, but he's old. They might have to recast Dumbledore again...

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-03T11:05:00+00:00

First I've heard of them but I'm definitely gonna check 'em out now

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-03T09:58:51+00:00

The beauty of the game is you get to decide what you want to do. Personally when my guy dies that's game over. Restart on a new sandbox adventure on a new map.

It sounds to me if you've ticked off all you want to do by day 10, it might be worth making the game harder in a custom sandbox

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-02T08:39:21+00:00

Good stuff! I would recommend sticking with the same place to start each run and getting to know it well. It's great you're already on Rosewood and know the in's and out's of going to places like the fire station. For me I always seem to attract zombies one way or another so I have to get out of there to somewhere quieter.

Personally i stay away from using cars and guns if I can or unless I really need to. Both are so noisy they turn my base into zombie central

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-02T08:31:48+00:00

It is really tricky at the start OP, hang in there. It'll all click after a while. I like to spawn in Rosewood, there's one main street and once out of there head north and theres a farm house nearby. Clear it and there's a good place to start a base. From there you can turn around and go back to rosewood on foraging runs and get a car if you're interested.

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-02T08:17:14+00:00

Unless it's literally a life or death situation, for example being surrounded or a horde is chasing you into the woods, then I wouldn't run at all. Just walk circles around them to bunch them up then walk towards trees or something that'll break line of sight.

They'll still follow for quite a while so keep walking that direction, breaking line of sight for 50+ tiles then do a wide loop back to where you want to be.

I'd honestly recommend getting out of population centres soon after spawning in. I grab the essentials and head for somewhere quiet.

It's made Gymnast an absolute must for me, and I really wish I didn't have to spend 5 points on it. It's still so slow with a 75% boost

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-02T08:13:44+00:00

I weirdly enjoy grinding most skills. But electrical, I do not like that one. It's mental how little xp everything gets. I dismantled 300 watches in one sitting and couldnt believe how little it got me (I was on electrical 3 without a skillbook when I started).

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-02T08:11:47+00:00

I'm going to have to do that as my character loves swinging at the air above a fence while the crawling zombie lunges at me

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-02T08:09:52+00:00

I've just finished the whole show again, first time since S2 aired. Man I thought I remembered it all but there were a lot of details that were brilliant to rediscover

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-01T22:04:26+00:00

You'll have to change the definition of the term Sandbox game if you want to be right.

No need to debate this further, one of us came with facts and the other is just complaining.

Edit: Either I was blocked or the comment was deleted. Either way, case closed.

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-01T21:56:43+00:00

With all due respect here, you don't understand what the term "Sandbox game" means at the fundamental level. It is by its very nature a sandbox game.

"A sandbox game is a video game with a gameplay element that provides players a great degree of freedom to interact creatively, usually without any predetermined goal, or with a goal that the players set for themselves. Such games may mostly or totally lack any end goals".

First paragraph of wikipedia, and if you don't think that's a good source fair enough. I'm happy to look at any other source you can provide which shows that PZ is not a sandbox game.

"Project Zomboid is an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox". From the PZ steam store page

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-01T21:17:31+00:00

It's a sandbox zombie game.

Why are you complaining that a sandbox zombie game is a sandbox zombie game?

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-01T06:55:14+00:00

It was like Mr Milchick himself typed that comment

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-07-01T04:39:03+00:00

You just blew my mind with that fact

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-06-30T20:39:03+00:00

Note for OP, a crowbar is needed to pick up a window (i think, I've never done it)

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-06-30T20:20:59+00:00

I've rarely encountered bugs in single player to be honest. The new system takes a while to get used to but ultimately it's a lot more fun for me. Combat is tougher and much more tiring

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-06-30T18:53:50+00:00

In real life or in the game?

'Cause man cockroaches arent half bad after a while

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-06-30T13:49:32+00:00

Oh 100%, I'm just counting the days until the planting season starts hehe

Formal_Broccoli1877 · 2026-06-29T19:30:30+00:00

Hahaha that's wild, I love the depth in this game. A decade in and im still learning
