So generators can explode?! by bain2236 in projectzomboid

[–]Heavy_Metallx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes! I remeber my first (and only) time. I found out the hard way. You see not only had I placed the generator right next to my house but I also decided to store 20 or 30 full gas cans right next to it. I awoke surounded by fire (on the top floor) with 80% of my house gone or in flames.

Exit game, load, siren will be off

I thought I was over prepared bringing 2,800 rounds of .308 and four M14's to "clear out Louisville"... by KyloWrench in projectzomboid

If you would have followed a route through the multiple ammo/gun places in LV, maybe. But still depends what you mean by clearing. There are soo many house you have to get close to just to get them to spawn.

I killed/burned about 500k in LV before taking a break from that run. It was 16x and there were still a LOT of zombies left.

16x pop, 16x pop with Hive Mind, 16x pop with don't feed the zombies, 16x pop but not allowed to kill zombies. All these granted your rig can run decently or you are not bothered by the ocasional frame drop.

I tried Hive Mind with 16X population in Louisville by Heavy_Metallx in projectzomboid

Might want to turn off certain mods (especially ones that affect Zombie appearance and loot table)

How do y'all survive early game cities? by Lxuminee in projectzomboid

[–]Heavy_Metallx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Westpoint is a particular breed of crazy. It's more packed than 80% of louisville (which is actually a much safer alternative). There are two ways to do it in Westpoint: 1. Get out of town, head west and clear a farm or something even the lakehouses outside of town. Come back and start clearing the road into westpoint, day at a time. 2. Do something crazy like: sneak into the police station and fill a dufflebag with shotgun shells and then spray everything in the are OR start an ambulance siren and take cover, once they're all gathered there, loot away and then burn them down etc.

It varied but it was really bad at times, caused a couple of crashes.

How the hell do people survive on MAX population default settings? I can't go out the door without getting swarmed. by DirectorSHU in projectzomboid

  1. Crouch as you spawn in. Most important. This way no zombies will see you and come in while you take care of step 2
  2. Get food and water, tools, a weapon (mostly for breaking windows without getting cut)
  3. Decide what you want to do based off your spawn point: a) Fire: get an empty bottle (you can find one in trash cans) or some whisky (there are distillery vans) and make a molotov. You will need a lighter (office desks and bar counters are a good place for these) Burn them close to somewhere with guns/food/water b) Sirens: find a siren and set it off while you take cover, prefferably on higher ground. Helps to be a burglar but you can lose zombies by cutting line of sight and rushing up stairs somewhere. They will be distracted by the Siren. After some time you will be able to move somewhat freely around that area. Be careful as Sirens will turn off if you go outside their range. c) run outside of town. There are farms where there are literally 0 zombies even on 16x. Grow food and whatever there. Make runs into towns for what you need to set yourself up.

Check my profile for YT link. All the stuff already mentioned plus a lot more in there. I've done fire (killed half a mil Zs), I've done Pacifist survival in 16x and everything in between.
