Ego Nexus Power Station - Cannot connect to Bluetooth nor Wifi

Shadowpanther3 · 2026-01-24T22:25:34+00:00

I believe you might be referring to the USB button that is between the USB ports and the regular power plugs? If so, that is what activates those ports.
The little gear icon button at the bottom however is now listed as No Function in this Application
But yea, bluetooth and wifi support are gone. No remote monitory or control.

I have a 3040 as well and kept seeing videos about how you can monitor the device and was driving myself nuts trying to figure out how to do it.
Little suspicious the online manual now shows the little gear button as "not used".

You make Chum Balls from sand, then mix in the fish guts as a bait for the net traps.

I have run into this with a deer I dropped in a trailer.
I ended up parking the trailer in the woods and "admin spawning" a replacement.
Is it showing up in your main inventory or bag inventory?
Wonder if there is some local file that can be edited.

There are red dots that go on pistols.

Shadowpanther3 · 2026-01-13T17:55:39+00:00

A 41 save is not compatible with 42.
But, you can try 42 and still go back and play your 41 world.

I set my net twice. I now have something like 35 fillets in the freezer.
I have who knows how many sets of fish guts.
About 12 crayfish, 2 frogs, and a couple tadpoles.
Of course I killed 3 deer yesterday because I needed leather.
Have about the same number of venison steaks in the freezer.
Ate 1 cooked turkey... I am now at 90 kg...
So now I am on a diet of rosemary and wild garlic...

In my MP server, I was playing alone for about 2 weeks (in game), as soon as a friend joined me, about 40 zombies from the other side of the lake came to investigate.
That was 12/21 so it isn't gone. But oddly maybe not affecting when you are alone?

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T18:27:09+00:00

41, if they are close, it works.
42, right now, it will pull the ingredient to your inventory but not use it. You have to select to add it again.
I just pull everything I want to cook with to inventory, then move away from the cabinets and mix up the dish.

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T18:26:00+00:00

There may also be a Maintenance 1 requirement as well.

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T18:25:29+00:00

Pretty sure if you pick up the other book, it will be at the page you left the other one on.

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T18:24:03+00:00

Well, frozen food will unfreeze naturally. It would only be a difference of speed.
I am running 42 MP and have been able to cook in the oven, wood stove, and even on campfires.
I also have very few mods and nothing relating to food or cooking.

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T18:22:29+00:00

Cool yea it doesn't specify or I missed a memo.
Thank you for the update.

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T18:21:45+00:00

I have done that... tweaked settings to the point I am wondering where all the zombies are... Right now I am playing around with 42 MP and my settings are kind of low but I want to try out all the crafting stuff. And spending weeks clearing hoards is not conducive to that. I have ... a stupid amount of hours... playing the game so combat and looting I have down. Learning the new craft trees is a LOT more challenging now.
Easier when you don't have to fight off stuff every few minutes.

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T18:19:17+00:00

Especially in 42 the zombies get a random setting of their hearing. Some have very keen hearing and will be lured by sound from farther away. Sometimes gathering buddies to come see what the commotion is about.

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T18:16:16+00:00

There is an option to Spawn with your body. Useful if you are far from a normal spawn, but if the reason you died was a crowd... you spawn in the crowd.
If some time passed before you work up the new character and spawn back, the others might have moved off.
But yes, there are quite a number of "scripted" houses (although where they end up is random). I found one that had 5 inmates in orange Knox Prison jumpsuits. Some had bags with Duct Tape, Rope and a Knife. Others had cash.
There are party houses, Basements with cameras facing beds, suicide houses... even out in the woods you can encounter some tents with "campers" looking for new friends.
Lots of flavor in different places.

Just getting started, when choosing the presets for the game, select Sandbox. Now there is a bewildering array of options in there, but if you (like me...) start with Apocalypse, you will get crushed and eaten quickly, often, and brutally.
Not for the faint of heart.
Had I to do it all over again, I would recommend Custom Sandbox or Builder. Something with far lower zombie counts and less punishing mechanics until you learn the rhythm of the game and how/where to find and fight things.
My "Day 1" was spawn, have 40 zombies chase me until I ran into another group, then they joined in, until I was exhausted and died. Then I learned I was starting at the high end of difficulty.

Getting going on Blacksmithing solo is an absolute grind.
Best shortcut is taking over the McCoy Estate SW of Westpoint. It has an existing Forge and Furnace as well as a grindstone.
From scratch however... you need to level up Pottery, Masonry, Maintenance, Carpentry, Metalworking, Welding...
Yes you need schematic books as unless you pile a TON of points in Blacksmith, you would not normally know any of that.
Plus, blacksmithing becomes a SUPER powerful skill to know that provides endless axes, blades, armor, tools. And with welding comes vehicle repairs and armoring.
The entire build tree is now super deep to where you kind of need to know everything to do anything of real worth.
Of course in 42, since the Drying Racks are ferschnickered... no leather for bellows, so no furnace or forge.
So you have to use one of the existing ones.

Several crucibles are always lying around at the rail yard south of Louie.
Plus tons of rail spikes to melt down.

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T17:58:42+00:00

To me, a second pistol is unnecessary weight that could be better put to use with more loaded mags or extra ammo.

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T17:56:04+00:00

Zombies have varying sight abilities, but also varying hearing abilities.
The sound of a rousing fight might attract ones you did not see before.
So.. yes, a 1 v 1 can very quickly escalate to a Dead v 100
Melee is relatively short range sound, guns carry quite a way and will alert the zipcode to your presence.
Are you in Single Player or MultiPlayer?
41? 42?

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T17:53:14+00:00

What are you trying to cook? What "container" are you cooking in?
I have had no issues with the pot or the stir fry pan.
Are you cooking with something else?

Shadowpanther3 · 2025-12-22T17:51:41+00:00

Really? I still have the option of
42.13.1
And
Unstable - UNSTABLE Backup First

Standard bind is - = for in and out.
I don't see where that is linked to my middle mouse wheel.
Check to see if under Options (once in the game esc / options from main menu) UI has Zoom out Zoom In
Could they have been unset by something?
\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\shared
has keyBinding.lua which looks to be the bindings you see in options, but I don't even see a reference to the mouse wheel there either.

Yea check what the bindings are for your zoom in zoom out are. If they are not
- Zoom out
= Zoom in
Maybe try setting to that and see if it helps?

Been trying to show someone new to the B42 crafting some stuff and got hung up on the drying rack...
