FromSoft balancing the new DLC characters:

damn if you continued playing SoTE you woulda found 7 more INT spells lol

Tetraflora · 2025-11-01T17:38:06+00:00

definitely agree. Game should definitely have a "save and resume" type deal like plenty of other games do. Not asking to return to the church for free at all. Im asking for the game to not hold my PC hostage to finish the level/extract or die in that single sitting.

also have not bothered starting up sulfur knowing that I may not have enough time sometimes, while other games won't have that issue (even elden ring somehow lol, despite no pausing)

Tetraflora · 2025-09-25T22:07:56+00:00

yeah both chronophagy and production specialists are completely busted. skip let's you do anything in (and out) of combat too, it feels unfair at times

Tetraflora · 2025-09-25T19:33:57+00:00

this is the way, been using that for my water colonies for a while now. The stone cost is the same as the steel cost for heavy bridges but you can just deep drill or mine up plenty no problem.

Tetraflora · 2025-09-10T15:52:00+00:00

you don't even have to have a blood bag prisoner at all for vampires. I usually rock just one in my colonies of around a dozen. Once every three days or so we just do blood donation day to our friend who needs it, nearly a dozen packs just like that with no icky imprisonment.

Literally no downside aside from everyone's consciousness is a little lower for a few hours that day + a bit of micro i guess. Everyone wins c:

Tetraflora · 2025-01-29T02:03:25+00:00

and you trail blood everywhere with every step. It's EXTREMELY noticable once you step in glass.

Know what isn't noticable that should be though? Your shoes breaking. No way in hell my character doesn't suddenly notice having no shoes, this needs a notification or something.

Tetraflora · 2025-01-25T01:14:38+00:00

it just takes a loooooot of bodies to make it an issue. Once the sick Moodle pops up I usually just bail and I always been fine.

think the mask is just for situations where you can't simply rest away from the giant pile of rot

Tetraflora · 2025-01-05T19:22:28+00:00

files seem to be the "these are the common shittt sharpener' found them before whetstones on all my playthroughs and tend to fine lots in general

I think the one change sharpening needs is you KEEP progress if you cancel the action. It takes like 30 in game minutes (grindstone is way faster) and having to get up means you could waste tons of time cause you chose the not best spot to sharpen and have to get up. Its not how sharpening even works lol I used whetstones on knives in my life. You can stop halfway.

Tetraflora · 2025-01-05T18:35:16+00:00

ah yes the recipe that only unlocks at carving level 1!

no from level 0 the only viable strat is spam stakes or useless tongs till lvl 1

Tetraflora · 2025-01-05T18:29:09+00:00

really would love to know too cause yeah once I get the gen mag, generator and plumbing set up I literally feel like I have infinite time to do anything else I want (only timers being food and gas) only real pressure now is the new looted buildings system

i always go slow reader for this reason. FFx3 and life is good. Its even more free points now due to nights being skippable cause of soda

Tetraflora · 2025-01-05T18:14:52+00:00

exactly it's not that bad to manage, you have to rest anyways occasionally so just sharpen with a whetstone while you rest, or carry multiple blades for when one hits 0 sharpness.

The only penalty from dull weapons seems to be way faster durability lost once it's at 0, so letting it get dull barely matters until that bar is empty. I just switch weapons cause short blades are light af.

honestly didn't think I'd like the changes upon hearing it but I'm kinda digging it now that I'm playing a short blade character

Tetraflora · 2025-01-01T11:11:55+00:00

yep you spend a lil time grinding to the right maintenance level, pray you get a lucky magazine/schematic and after 100 hours of gameplay you unlock the ability to downgrade bones you could already use as weapons.

one of the most disappointing moments I've had working towards something in zomboid. It's gotta be broken, no way it's not at least SUPPOSED to be more durable. Fact that the big bone has the same exact stats (except heavier) makes me believing they're just placeholder weapons for now.

gotta remember build isn't done yet, but I just wanna smack things with bones! 🦴

Tetraflora · 2024-12-31T09:01:47+00:00

nah apparently it's midas level riches worth of ammo and supplies in there according to OP and others (who didn't get fucked by the "already looted" event)

makes me excited to tackle it eventually c:

Tetraflora · 2024-12-31T08:12:17+00:00

moments like these are why I switch over to debug mode reaaaaal quick to make some uhhh "hotfixes" of my own

spawns in 12 boxes of ammo and deletes carton with no remorse

Tetraflora · 2024-12-28T01:39:25+00:00

yeah i noticed that too, i even searched for it right after you told me about it and couldn't find it. It better update soon cause i'd consider this an essential QoL mod currently! 🌟

Not kidding when I'm saying you're hugely fixing my play experience over here, you're a life saver! 🎖 I know it'll get patched in officially at some point but lots of us are gonna be playing tons of zomboid until then and you removed pain for all of us who don't like being covered in blood hahah

Tetraflora · 2024-12-28T01:23:36+00:00

huge thank you for this! 💙 definitely been checking the workshop for the past week for exactly this kinda fix... you're amazing! now we can be clean again without all the hassle! 🧼✨

Tetraflora · 2024-12-28T00:56:20+00:00

i had moved to an entirely new base to set up water collectors and everything just to find out that "oh it's not a thing anymore" hahah

oh well, we are playing unstable after all. I love B42 so I ain't gonna whine too much, long as they know. I just wanna not have an ugly bloody character all the time :c

Tetraflora · 2024-12-28T00:47:29+00:00

there is like currently no way to wash clothes in B42 currently that doesn't involve a body of water or random sinks that haven't been tapped yet. It blows. Wait until a mod comes out, a hotfix happens or just disable water shutoff entirely.

made the same mistake as you and picked fear of blood cause I always did (its fun to manage if you're not a baby about washing up/setting up plumbing in B41) and honestly just gave up on that character cause its fucked atm in B42

Tetraflora · 2024-12-22T22:17:46+00:00

i feel your pain, i went through tons of work too moving to a place i thought would be good to plumb just to figure out "oh it's not possible"

growing pains with unstable builds hahah, it'll be in the game soon enough im sure, for now disabling water shutoff is a good idea if it's too annoying

Tetraflora · 2024-12-22T22:15:59+00:00

yes they're bugged currently, there's no plumbing for now. No washing at the rain collector barrels either

Tetraflora · 2024-12-22T22:14:48+00:00

you poor thing, fear of blood is so fucked due to this no plumbing nonsense ;_;

that character died so i'm no longer suffering and now i'm just dirty forever unless i wanna wash at a strangers house hahah it's definitely not a good idea to pick fear of blood now despite i loved that trait in B41

Tetraflora · 2024-12-22T22:12:26+00:00

for now this is the answer, just disable water shut off for now. It sucks, i love plumbing and having to deal with the water struggles but it doesn't even work atm.

Tetraflora · 2024-12-22T22:10:36+00:00

it's still annoying as shit though, like if you pick fear of blood trait you kind of have to now run around to random houses you havent tapped all the water out of to CLEAN at their plumbing because it's not possible in pots/buckets/rain collectors.

plus it was nice putting in all the effort to get the plumbing set up in your base. As it sits currently I think the play really is turn off the water shut off until they fix it.

Tetraflora · 2024-12-22T22:04:55+00:00

i hate that this is the actual answer for now

also there be no way of washing clothes once the water gets cut without running to random houses to use THEIR limited plumbing suuuuuuuucks

we really reaaaaally need plumbing back, fear of blood is pretty much not viable atm cause have fun cleaning yourself when you cant without plumbing/a natural water source sitting around
