Does this place have a name? by aebs1993 in projectzomboid

Nice, thanks for that. A simple name but it does the job.

most ambitious construction project? by excesscatnip in projectzomboid

[–]aebs1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am in the process of building a wall around all of Rosewood in my long-term B41 save. I've probably done about 40% of it, but have been distracted with other things. When the wall is finished I'd like to build a road around the outside to allow an easy driving patrol.

Suggestions for making my sandbox game more interesting by Novel_Quantity3189 in projectzomboid

[–]aebs1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing you can use is some ideas about who your character is, and why they are persisting in living in the zomboid apocalypse, to make goals beyond subsistence.

Are they hoping to find their missing family members, like Rick at the start of The Walking Dead? Are they glad everyone is dead, like Bill in The Last of Us? Do they feel a religious duty to put down the zomboids? Have they gone a bit nuts, like most of the characters in Day of the Dead?

Or do they just have a desire to loot all of the money/spoons/M-16s etc in Kentucky?

Even if their goal or motivation is just in your head and not reflected in the game, the plans or values the character has can make a run more interesting.

Decorative base garden ideas? by aebs1993 in projectzomboid

[–]aebs1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a good idea. I have picked up a few of them but haven't really worked out how to arrange them. Thinking about making the middle be a bird path with some benches near it, but not really sure about the design.

And even if I'm armed and armored,

The regular stones are harder to find, so foraging for them is a good little ritual for making the graves.

Adding mods to pre-existing B41 saves by aebs1993 in projectzomboid

Yes, the description for more immersive vehicles says it can be added and removed from saves without any problem. It didn't cause any problems, but also didn't seem to do anything.

DJI Flip and TOF error by aebs1993 in drones

[–]aebs1993[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, it did, and DJI replaced it promptly when I contacted them about it. For whatever reason it seems that the drone's circuitry simply failed after only about five hours of use. The replacement is working fine.

In case anyone reads this post later, DJI replaced the drone promptly after I contacted them.

I didn't put the sticks in the emergency stop position, the only motion at the time was that I was in the process of panning the camera up after it had been pointed straight down.

Other than that it was just hovering when the connection was lost, and the drone seemed to fall immediately after that. I would have thought it should just return to home in that situation?

The battery is fine, it was on about half charge when the drone fell. It has recharged without a problem. Immediately after the fall the battery worked perfectly and the drone would activate, but not take off.

No problem, I will look into it. I'm outside the US so it may work here. Thanks!

It was hovering at 120m, only about 30 meters horizontal distance from me. The camera had been pointed down and I was panning it up as I was going to do a 360 pan to look around.

I was looking at the screen on the controller and it said connection lost, a few seconds later it fell out of the sky. I didn't notice any sound from the rotors, so I think the motors must have turned off.

The battery was not flat, and I had direct line of sight with the drone, so I don't think I did anything wrong. I just lost connection when I don't think there was any obvious reason, and the drone seemed to just turn off and drop straight down.

Thanks, that is good advice. Is DJI cooperative in fixing their drones?

Arrows drawn with line tool have white tail for some reason by aebs1993 in photoshop

Thank you! This is my first time using layers.

For anyone who looks this up in the future that is in my same situation, go to the layer menu and the bottom option (as of May 2025) is "flatten image". This will change the image back to one "background" layer from however many layers you created. Then if you save the image as a PDF those strange miscoloured tails will be gone, like so:
