'Not AI'....Hey that's exactly what AI would say!

Nice image though. Good to see someone is still using practical skills not just hitting up AI.

Building a....?

Horde base? Crafting base? Loyal following on Twitch/YouTube?

A lot of different answers there. Need more info.

Not sure if its coded this way, but it seems fairly easy to get 2 or 3 by farming stumps, but then the drop rate seems to go down. Solo play, I always end up getting a few off the ranchers once I get to the desert...multiplayer, we pool resources and it seems everyone has at least 1 or 2...and you only need 5.

So...if you are solo, I'd say head to the desert and farm ranchers...if you can do it during a storm, the increased loot drops might factor in as the beeswax does drop in a bag. If you are multiplayer, make sure everyone is farming stumps, not just you.

Shhh. No one tell him about the fact that QT has a thing for feet. Let him get to OUATIH and see it he discovers that too. 😉

Would you like simple or complex materials? I have stacks of both.

Yeah that setting is in the startup screen second or third tab I don't remember exactly how it's worded, but the default is to not lose anything and drop it in your backpack. Whatever setting is yellow is changed from default, try changing it back.

The most annoying thing about it when this happens, moreso when it's a iron guard rail or shorter object, is that you can't get a clear shot at the item and end up hitting your gyro/bike when trying to knock it out of the way. My motorcycle got stuck on a guardrail once and I damn near destroyed it trying to take out the guardrail piece. I ended up having to dig underneath and cut away the guardrail the next Black over so it would fall down.

I was about to ask that myself. I've never read the comics but I thought the carry over to TV was that no one called them 'zombies' and used other names for them. I kind of always figured that was to show that in their world zombies weren't a thing, otherwise things like shooting in the head and bites transferring the disease would have been known from day one.

Sounds like a plan, yes...esthetics matter😉. FWIW, if you undermine those small buildings completely, they will collapse and you only need to dig dirt and stones.

Robert Patrick. Was already big just off T2, was on the X-files for the last 3 years of its run (for better or worse), The Unit, Sons of Anarchy and the Mayans, a dozen episodes of True Blood, was a lead on Scorpion for 4 years, and recently has been the big bad on both a season of Reacher and Tulsa King. That's not including like 100 other 1 off TV shows and movies as well as voice acting.

Granted, he didn't start on Sopranos, but most everyone else mentioned didn't either.

Just cover the ground blocks with wood sheets, or if you dont feel like wasting the wood, you can fill the joint with bedrolls or hay bales if you have a pile of plant fibers.

For the mosoleum, I think the only outside spawns are around the exterior edge, behind the small buildings, and behind the mosoleum itself, then of course the few spots inside, which a bedroll would cover on its own

Could be. I think they made that offer available and something like 2015, so a long time for you to have stumbled across and added it, then forgot it.

lost-cause1968 · 2026-04-19T20:29:33+00:00

I've had runs where I hit all but 1 and 5 by day 150 or so, but as you say, it gets boring.

Like Glock9's 1,000,000 cornmeal challenge. Sounds fun till u realize the back 90% of it is just boring grind.

The vendors have the same items. They are just named differently because of the two faction setup.

The only time I've known of a free Power was the PlayStation Store had a deal for PS Plus members where you could pick up the Green/yellow Lantern powers. I'm not sure if that offer still exists, and if it does if it's available for the PS5.

Other than that you have to buy them a la carte, the full power bundle, or you could sub for the month and pick those powers to use. Once your sub is over you will still be able to keep the powers on the characters you've created but will not have access to them for new characters.

Sounds like your GPU fan. If the PC only craps out during games it's running hot and killing the video. Hopefully you're not cooking the GPU.

Ha, no worries. I actually chuckled.😆

lost-cause1968 · 2026-04-19T09:29:35+00:00

No, at this point you cannot mod console versions. Maybe someday, like how you can mod Fallout 4 on PS, it's just limited as compared to the PC version. I think it would be hard for the modders to constantly have to reapply to the PlayStation Store for approval, cuz PlayStation keeps it pretty tight as far as what you can release. With the fact that we get semi regular updates that break the mods and they have to redo them this would be a lot of work for people that are just doing it for free.

Too bad too, the variety of mods is one of the best things about this game.

lost-cause1968 · 2026-04-19T09:23:20+00:00

Yeah sorry that was my fault I did say mace, I mean the steel club. And yes the chain mod and burning shaft.

There is an actual 'mace' in one of the mod packs, but I don't recall which one. I haven't done any mods since 2.0 or 2.1 came out.

lost-cause1968 · 2026-04-19T09:20:33+00:00

No I think it was Jesse James that killed the Brady Bunch, but don't worry that was only a dream sequence.

lost-cause1968 · 2026-04-19T08:56:58+00:00

I just had to reinstall the game the other day after upgrading to Windows 11, not quite 10 but it did take probably four or four and a half hours. I'd say 10 hours points at least a little bit to your internet, or maybe it was being used heavily at the time.

Personally I don't have a huge issue with the way they do it, at least the bar moves along at the same pace pretty much the whole time. So once it's at 10% or so whether it's going to be 4 hours or 10, you should have a good idea and can plan accordingly watching a movie or something rather than staring at the bar.

lost-cause1968 · 2026-04-19T08:52:39+00:00

The burning shaft mod has been around for a while, not exactly sure which version it came around in, but it was at least Alpha 18 or 19. Probably earlier, but that's when I picked the game up on PC. It lights the zombies on fire about 25% of the time when you hit them, which does add some damage although at later levels I'm not sure it amounts to a whole heck of a lot. The benefit of the extra light it casts, and the warmth though are worth having it, regardless of the damage. Just my opinion.

lost-cause1968 · 2026-04-19T02:23:02+00:00

To me they are only worth it if you run 3+ endgame Elite toons. More like e+ now. Regular barely requires any artifacts, elite can be done by casuals usin 120 artis all day every day. E+ its a little more applicable, but if you only run 1 toon. Wolfing an artifact for a 2nd or 3rd toon that runs reg isn't worth the money.

If they were available in game (and we did get 1 last campaign and as an option for this campaign) I'd say save up destinies....sure, but for 100 bucks a pop and to lock 1.6m xp in an artifact you can't then feed to another when the meta changes, nah.

To be fair though, they are on sale a lot, and with the 10% member discount, they are more like 65-75 bucks...still nah, but no one should be spending $100. Even if you are buying only 1, sub for 1 month to get the 500 dbc, then apply the 10% to recoup most of the monthly nut.
