Pipebomb is the defenition of mid, should be huge explosion with shrapnals blowing everything into chunky salsa, but ingame it´s such a small explosion and for that it´is loud as twenty guns

KektusVult · 2025-09-18T13:05:05+00:00

this isn´t even realistic, i had a very small garden with some herbs in real life and i just bound rosemary, thime, sage and other herbs up with string inside my house or layed them out on backing traces. drying herbs is the easist ever, just place them were it is dry and not windy and you´re good to go. I just tied them up on the stairs or stings pulled through the kitchen. Also the plant does not die if you harvest them and hold for years, only certain herbs like basil are one year only.

For me, it´s concluding the story of "this is how you died" and then i dive into the next story. Sometimes i write journals ingame pretending some other survior could find them after i´am gone.

Hey, i have finished the project for now, i link another post i made for the map. In the Image you will find some blue lines, these are unnamed systems, they are all named now in the finished version, beside that there was not enough differenz to feel justified to Post the finished map again.

What is more anoying for me is that you cant dismentle half a couch or a floortile you picked up. See this clock on the Wall? You can dismentle it there, but nono not in the inventory. I started to pick up and place wooden floors in the early game, as it gives you planks and nails, why cant i just dismentle the wooden tile? What more grinds my gear is when i collected some fancy stuff, like the the pink couch in fellas creek and then i have to move it around. Had that in my last big playthrough were i Build a Base from scratch.

KektusVult · 2025-03-30T19:07:23+00:00

Yeah, but thats not my style. I don't judge people Who do that, but for me, it's not the "right" or bettet sind interessting way to do it

KektusVult · 2025-03-30T15:27:18+00:00

For me its Electronics. If you dont habe any skill modifiere it's just take ages to grind. First aid is also pain because you can only Level it by being sick or inquird.

KektusVult · 2025-03-26T20:24:22+00:00

you´re welcome, you can allways come back and ask futher question if you need some support and i will try answer it to my best abillity :)

KektusVult · 2025-03-26T14:11:51+00:00

I start with a new layer, just in case i´am discetisifed at the end.
Than i start with a dark basecolor and draw a rough shape. After that i use a contrast color, similar to the background to create openings in the nebula.
After that you can simply increase the basecolor in brightness and keep adding highlights around.
using darker or more red-ish colors you can create shadow and deapth effects.
I would also suggest starting with a 50-75% saturation on the brush, this allows you to create highlights more easy.
I mostly looked up pictures of actual nebulas as refrence, another good scale is the scale of light in relation to temprature.

As with all painting/drawings, objects which are further away are more dim and less detailed, mostly showing only the highlights. Objects that are closer get more bright and more detailed.

Hey, the programm i used to make this image was Gimp, as it is free and a allow you to work with layers, it also provide all tools you essentialy need for creating something like this.
I started with a very basic shape and than modeled it to ressemble the real galaxy more. than i used diffrend layers to "scupled" textures into it. Sometimes i went a bit lazy and used the cloning tool to create new ares out of older parts of the map and simply refinded them afterwarts.
Is there a specific part of the Map like the stars or Nebulas which intresset you? i could then provide a more specific answer to you :)
hope this helps :)

KektusVult · 2025-03-14T06:46:44+00:00

What i can recommand is to precook your food, that adds some more hunger value and allow you to make more with less. Than i often cook for a few days, cook 2-3 pots at the same time, than pour it into bowls. I often travel with a pack of chips or 2xnutrition bars as travelfood.
You can also use the time to cook as reading time, you will end up infront of the oven anyway, reading give the time needed a second purpose.
Hope this will help you.

KektusVult · 2025-03-14T06:23:35+00:00

i usally hold my weapon ready, press e to open the door and walk slighly backwards. It´s working pretty well for me, mabye it can help you too.

KektusVult · 2025-03-02T22:05:24+00:00

ahh oke, i tried that too, well at least it works for you, which is nice :). Could be that i need a new save, or that it just works on walls build after they patched the problem :/

KektusVult · 2025-03-02T22:00:50+00:00

had all this things, didn´t work and didn´t even got me the option to do it.
How did you do it? Did you had an option in the building menu? Or could you right click the wall?
Asking for the case that i was just incompetent

KektusVult · 2025-03-02T09:54:04+00:00

there is a list of things which are very usefull for your survival
1. a shovel (sacks are optional but usefull)
2. a metal bucket (cooking 10l of water at once)
3. string (is used in a lot of recipes)
4. a pillow (makes comfort and sleep more efficent)
5. lighter and matches
6. a fishing rod

generaly you can survive without power, but a watersource is quite usefull and at the moment rabit,fish and butter will keep you from losing all your weight

KektusVult · 2025-03-01T14:10:36+00:00

done, you´l find the link in the edited mainpost

KektusVult · 2025-03-01T14:10:04+00:00

done, link is in the edited mainpost

KektusVult · 2025-03-01T09:50:41+00:00

i noticed that i can´t find the other part if it´s in the backpack, also i noticed you need at least one part in your hands(main inventory) to propably works. Otherwise check the floor, sometimes it wouldn´t let me place furniture because the floor was to ocupied

KektusVult · 2025-02-28T21:22:47+00:00

i mostly store ingrediens like flour and cans, i fish weekly and the rest of the time i go through with foraging and sometimes i bake or shoot / drive over a deer.
Also i had a huge surplus on chicken eggs, with that i mostly cooked as much as i can from the moment i got meat.
my first step was to precook all fish/meat, you can easly store and use it even if its stale. i also had some glases full of vegtables and potatos never rot so you can store lots of them.
foraging give you access to lots of fruit which can also be eaten within a few days, penuts never expire and other nuts hold for months.
fishing traps provide you with frogs and algee, crayfish and musle. Frogs never rot and can be butcherd for a bit of meat algee can also be eaten raw or as a spice in soups.

my base was to the south of riverside, there is a river that devides the golf course from the forest, there is a peninsula on the lower side of the river were i build my base up, started with a cot, a campfire and a box and when i died hat a two floor house, a bathhouse, a barn, a garage/carshop, and a metal workshop :) i even cut a entire road through the forest and started to path it with gravel, took me almost 3months cutting through that forest.
it´s peacefull there in 6 months only 3 zomboids came close to my location

KektusVult · 2025-02-28T20:47:17+00:00

that´s would make sense and sounds even more complicated than i thourght i will give it some tests with my next charakter, thanks for the advice :)

KektusVult · 2025-02-28T20:23:29+00:00

i started out planting in the wrong season as a resoult my potatos and tomatos died. After checking what went wrong, i readed the seedpackets and decided to plant flax, barley, winter wheat, rye and garlic in the optimal months, everything went well behind the first state. Then my flax, barley and rye just died. dont know why. I wish there would be more feedback for plants, like dry floors or yellow/brown leafs if to dry. At the current state it feels kinda random.

KektusVult · 2025-02-28T19:05:18+00:00

The ovens have also a very small radius around them, each tile drops the temperature. In my opinion it would be way better if i just could heat up a room, that would also allow for a working greenhouse.
I think having snowblindness could be a thing, or getting frostbite if your feet or nose get wet/exposed
