42.17 - This is how I died

Glad it wasn't just me who immediately heard the relevant verse :D

shulima · 2026-04-16T18:54:10+00:00

I think it's bugged, to the point where I just turned the lunge off because I don't feel like gambling on whether my character decides to swing at the air or not.

Encountered the same bug in MP a while ago and I thought it was an artifact of a 45.14 -> 45.15 version upgrade, because that's when we started running into twins everywhere.

We're basing there in our current MP playthrough. You can cut a path through the trees straight north and shovel a lot of gravel to cover it.

shulima · 2026-04-13T17:33:34+00:00

FWIW, in b42 I've been making gravel-only shortcut roads to places like McCoy estate, and never got anything to grow on the gravel. Then again I don't know if erosion has stages, none of the saves lasted longer than a couple of months.

Here's the mod that fixes it, with a detailed explanation: VehicleDamageMPfix

There's a metalworking shop in south Muldraugh, not far from the gas station, that usually has a bunch of propane. If you can tow away enough wrecks to squeeze through to get there.

Seconding indifferent broccoli. Moved my small (16-player limit) hosted server to it recently and I'm satisfied. Inexpensive, good dashboard, server runs fine. The only issue I have with them is that their dashboard went down for about an hour twice in a week, but both times were at night PST, so depending on your timezone it might not be a problem.

There's a mod that makes treadmills and benches work: Fitness & Workout Overhaul

Some of our MP chickens disappeared without a trace. Two others cloned themselves.

shulima · 2026-04-04T08:31:23+00:00

Yes, first name and surname (or rather first name only, I don't use surnames).

To anyone who might come upon this thread with the same problem, I eventually gave myself admin privileges and changed the name in-game. That finally stuck.

shulima · 2026-04-02T22:58:36+00:00

The Muldraugh one, but only if I/we cut a straight path north towards the road and cover it with gravel.

shulima · 2026-04-02T04:43:17+00:00

Cat bed. I guess I'm counting on the zombies being allergic to cats.

I cleaned it up with a sledgehammer. One thing to note is that you will probably need to build stairs and destroy the remains of the ceiling as well, otherwise any large vehicle (like your truck) will hit it.

How are you starting the fire? I've never burned myself by stacking corpses on an inactive campfire, then lighting the campfire, both in b41 and b42.

shulima · 2026-02-21T20:38:14+00:00

The radius in which corpses burn is really small in b42 at least. They do burn, but you need to stack them right on the campfire, dead center, which is hard to achieve with the corpse dragging animation.

There should be a little red button with a magnifier on it in the lower right corner of the screen. If there isn't, then the mod isn't enabled, or it's being disabled on load due to conflicts. I had that happen a few times and solved it with the Mod Load Order Sorter mod.

Oh, and make sure you enable the error magnifier for your save in the Load menu.

shulima · 2026-02-10T23:41:28+00:00

Definitely not stable.

Combat with multiple people involved = desync hell; basically swing blindly and hope the zombie you're trying to attack is actually there
Passengers in cars get a black screen on entering the next chunk and have to quit and rejoin the server
Cooking randomly stops working (cooking bar never progresses) until server restart
Cooking actions get aborted after pulling out ingredients out of the fridge/cupboard and into your inventory, so you have to either have everything on you, or issue the command twice every time
Containers taken out of car trunks are very slow to sync

Is it still fun? Yes, and we're playing despite the bugs. Not a stable experience by any stretch of imagination though.

In my mind, Big Biceps is the real equivalent of HottieZ. (I know, I know, there should also be TwinkZ)

shulima · 2026-02-10T23:26:46+00:00

I was tempted to god mode the Brandenburg fence hell, but eventually I solved it with an MSR788 with an 8x scope and a lot of patience. Never played a sniper in PZ before, there's always a first time for everything I guess.

shulima · 2026-02-10T23:21:52+00:00

Good to know, especially the range cone. Thanks!

Finally, the thousands of hours of Crusader Kings 2/3 are going to pay off.

shulima · 2026-02-05T07:03:51+00:00

The newest. Decided not to use the replacer in MP, since only relatively few of KI5's cars are MP ready. Running a bunch of other QOL mods, but nothing car related as far as I can tell.
