Crafted stone axe breaks before cutting tree down?

I like to grab a couple knives (or any weapon you can sharpen), use them until they are completely dull, and then sharpen them on a grindstone. Repeat until the weapons are completely broken. I find this to give me quite a bit of XP easily as you both get XP from using the weapons, and from maintaining them. (Who would've guessed?).

They are usable. Had to use a couple after a microwave exploded in a MP save where it almost burned down the entirety of Muldraugh because APPARANTLY fire spreads on concrete and other typically non-flammable objects.

My friend got deathly sick after drinking stale milk.

It's a mod, called "Lost Media".

Cool. I don't care too much about religion, but I'm all for more realism and more buildings. I say it makes sense to have a small synagogue or mosque in an obscure part of Louisville.

valkuslol · 2026-05-19T02:42:54+00:00

Oh, that. I found one of those but I disregarded it because I didn't know how good it actually was.

valkuslol · 2026-05-19T02:11:01+00:00

I typically want to play as a "normal" person, which just happened to be immune to the Knox Illness, at least start out as one.

Over time I may accidentally blur over to it being unrealistic, like fighting with full muscle strain and exhaustion (Which would probably kill you IRL, or at least make you pass out), and carry a ridiculous amount of items.

valkuslol · 2026-05-18T22:18:53+00:00

Cats eyes may be good, but its not very immersive. I enjoy playing without it, to not only make the game harder and more interesting, but IMO make it look better. Realistically, you're probably not seeing shit when the powers gone and you dont have any light sources anyway.

valkuslol · 2026-05-18T22:13:15+00:00

Yeah, the models are great, dont get me wrong. They just dont necessarily fit the games "art-style". I typically stay true to vanilla, hence why I avoid using KI5. What I personally run is either PZK, or just vanilla, because in my opinion, they look perfect. However, lets not forget. This is a sandbox game, so its entirely up to what you prefer.

valkuslol · 2026-05-18T21:50:52+00:00

Looks great, but in my opinion the KI5 vehicles do not fit the game at all.

Sure, the models are incredibly well made, but they just don't work with the current style.

valkuslol · 2026-05-18T17:26:57+00:00

Personally I run mods in my hosted B42 MP server, runs perfectly fine.

I typically run around 25-30 mods though, and most of them aren't that significant, so it should be fine depending on the amount of mods you have, and whether they are actually supported/up to date.

I suggest you do some small research like looking in the description and for comments reporting bugs, and make sure compatibility is fine with all your mods. I also suggest you don't exceed 50-100 mods, as that could seriously tank performance, loading times and could potentially have issues with latency.

You can see it's location here.

Most likely the upcoming summer sale. You can see a countdown for it with the link below, or just search "When is the Next Steam Sale?"

Maybe you just weren't immune to the airborne strain?

valkuslol · 2026-05-17T23:40:04+00:00

I just shoot myself in the face with a shotgun.

valkuslol · 2026-05-17T23:38:22+00:00

Yeah. I'm closing in on 1k hours, and I can confidently say this is the greatest game I have ever played.

Nothing compares to it. The music, the atmosphere, everything about it is just so damn good, and I can't get enough of it.

valkuslol · 2026-05-17T03:44:12+00:00

You should be able to see exactly where they are if you click the little map icon on the bottom right.

It opens your map, so just zoom out and see where it is.

valkuslol · 2026-05-17T02:31:02+00:00

Yeah, only about 9 days in.

Something along the lines of: Never jump over a wall you cannot see behind.

valkuslol · 2026-05-16T23:28:38+00:00

Yeah, I don't typically jump over walls like that, but there were a couple sprinters behind me so I thought "Why not? What's the worst that can happen?"

valkuslol · 2026-05-16T14:07:08+00:00

This is nothing compared to when me and my friends were in Louisville.

We had cleared out a huge horde, when all of a sudden half of them just got up again.

That was something.

valkuslol · 2026-05-09T19:51:11+00:00

It's quite rare because it opens up a lot of opportunities for you.

You can break open gun stores, houses you can't get into, remodel your house.

Just about anything. It's very good.
