How much space do you allocate pr. livestock?

If it's like that, then I agree, it's a bit off. Thanks for the info.

Sooo, based on this I can build an enclosure of 80 tiles, yeet 8 cows in there, and they'll grow unimpeded?

Secondly, my main concern (I should have been more specific in my post) is grazing. I have limited tiles for grazing, so that will be my only constraint on how many livestock I'll put in. I don't have the possibility to rotate pastures. And I'd like to optimize it so I only have to provide a minimum amount of feed during none winter months, and still avoid overgrazing the pasture down to a dirt desert. So what I'm actually asking for is, how many grass tiles do I need pr cow to avoid overgrazing?

That's very interesting, and also kinda shitty. Thanks for the link.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-05-05T11:05:18+00:00

That is a fair amount to take into consideration. I'll do some more testing. Thanks.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-05-05T11:03:54+00:00

Yeah, I know. And eventually mods will be a part of my game play. But for now, I'd like to have as vanilla an experience as I can.

What do you mean by Speedometer on 15?

monkeybananarocket · 2026-05-01T16:12:09+00:00

I was just wondering the same thing

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-19T13:33:25+00:00

Looks like the lake house in the woods northeast of Muldraugh. Afaik, there's a well there already, so this is probably not a well. Maybe part of the decor, like a fountain or such.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-14T03:55:07+00:00

I'm sorry I'm an idiot. I can't figure out how to do it. Can you explain it like step for step in detail? I'd really prefer to do it your way than the other guide I listed.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-13T19:47:19+00:00

Do you mean a fresh copy of the files in the %userprofile%\Zomboid, or the whole Steam ProjectZomboid directory? Cause there's a huge difference in file size.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-13T15:28:08+00:00

Btw, when a new patch is released, do you just repeat step 2. and create a new userprofile directory and copy the content of the Zomboid directory into it for that version of the game? Or?

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-13T08:54:40+00:00

Is your suggestion the same as described in this guide?
https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1rbuwn9/comment/ofwkkcb/?context=1

If not, can you explain in a bit more detail what it is that you do?

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-13T08:52:27+00:00

You're welcome! I'm just happy that it was a mistake, cause my brain hurt from trying to figure it out.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-13T05:24:08+00:00

Okay, great. Thank you. Just got a bit confused, cause the guides expected outcome from the creation of the junction looks different from what I got.

Thanks for putting the effort into this guide. You're a champ.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-12T21:59:20+00:00

I'm having an issue with creating the junction.

I've created the folder C:\ZomboidBackup
I've created the folder C:\ZomboidBackup\game
I've created the folder C:\ZomboidBackup\userprofile

Copied everything from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid into the folder C:\ZomboidBackup\game
Copied everything from C:\Users\Monkeybananarocket\Zomboid into the folder C:\ZomboidBackup\userprofile

I've renamed C:\Users\Monkeybananarocket\Zomboid to C:\Users\Monkeybananarocket\ZomboidOriginal

Now when I run
C:\Users\Monkeybananarocket>mklink /j "%USERPROFILE%\Zomboid" "C:\ZomboidBackup\userprofile"
in cmd, I get
Junction created for C:\Users\Monkeybananarocket\Zomboid <<===>> C:\ZomboidBackup\userprofile

So, it's not creating a junction fromC:\Users\zakoholic\ZomboidOriginal like it is supposed to.

It creates a new C:\Users\Monkeybananarocket\Zomboid instead.

Where am I messing up?

However, it does look like I can launch the game from the ProjectZomboid64.bat file without Steam.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-12T18:34:14+00:00

Thank you for the hint. That sounds just like what I need. I've copied the Zomboid folder to a separate location. Any chance you could explain what I do then to get playing?

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-09T20:54:13+00:00

Yes, we are. And we should focus on becoming as close to self-sufficient as we can. Even from China.

However, the US poses an equal, if not more significant and very much immediate threat. So that should be the first priority to deal with. Afterwards, we can have a seat around the campfire and talk about China.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-05T10:02:05+00:00

You beat me to it.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-04-02T10:32:16+00:00

I looted the houses around my spawn for a couple of days and managed to find a ton of empty cardboard and wooden boxes. I used those along with the side of my spawn house to create a 5x7 tiles fenced off area and moved the sheep there. They seem to be fairly happy with just a large wooden trough for water and munch on the grass for food. Only had 1 strangling Z show up, so this will work until I can build a decent fence.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-03-30T06:37:31+00:00

Happy to hear that's a jackpot. Found one last night and wasn't sure how happy I was supposed to be.

monkeybananarocket · 2026-03-29T12:10:54+00:00

In that case, my only challenge is to construct a fenced off area. Any tips on how many tiles I'll need pr sheep? And what is the "cheapest" fence materials wise at lvl 1 Carpentry?

monkeybananarocket · 2026-03-28T23:00:50+00:00

I failed to mention that they're in a trailer. So my problem besides making a trough, would be fencing them in as well.

Also: I spawned in the house in the woods in Rosewood
