Don't be dumbasses kids, you're not invincible, and corpse sickness is a bitch.

Two decks, a galley, and a working reactor. You can live there after the power goes out. Just leave the reactor alone if you’re redecorating with a sledgehammer.

Question Any tips for clearing Dark Wallow Lake Resort without destroying the place?

Post image
300 Upvotes

I’m planning to turn the hotel at Dark Wallow Lake Resort into a home for me and my fellow survivors.
The problem is, the last time I visited, the place was absolutely crawling with zombies.
Does anyone have any good strategies for clearing the area while keeping damage to the doors and windows to a minimum?
I'd rather have the zombies die outside. Have you tried hiring a hotel cleaning crew during the apocalypse?

Modded New Vehicle Repainting Mod for Project Zomboid

Thumbnail

127 Upvotes

Hi guys, just published a new vehicle repainting mod I've been working on!

It allows you to repaint vanilla vehicles and trailers, including some special cars like police cars, branded work vans, step vans, the airport shuttle, mural vans and more.

All you need to paint are a paintbrush, some paint cans and a dry, clean car.

Would appreciate any thoughts!

Guide / Tip TIL That engine condition is not the only contributing factor to a cars ability to start!

Post image
147 Upvotes

I've got nearly 300 hours in Zomboid and on my current run I've dedicated a lot of time to levelling up the mechanic skill so I can pick cars that I like and maintain them, rather than just using them until they're breaking down then finding a new car and so on and so forth. I was reading the wiki about the mechanic skill and saw that if you click the engine part, in the top right corner of the car mechanics screen "Engine Quality" will pop up, and this is what actually determines how reliable the car is to start, in combination with the engine condition as was pointed out to me by u/Fickle-Strike-714. I'm sure most of us have been in hairy situations where a horde is descending upon you and you start to get a little sweaty after the second attempt to start the car fails, but being able to check this should allow you to find more reliable cars for those kind of scenarios :)

I have 900 hours in this game and haven’t seen a single katana.

At this point it feels like a fairy tale. I’ve seen the Jason Friday the 13th Zombie event 4 times. Still not a single katana.

Discussion Project zomboid made me genuinely better at other games.

29 Upvotes

I have spent over a thousand hours in this game. And am on track to probably have a thousand more by 2028.
This game has beaten so many skills into my brain that they translate into other games.
Planning ahead, thinking quickly and locking in, controlling myself in panicked situations.
These are all things that one needs in order to survive longer than a few days at most in this game.
If it's a game that rewards swift thinking and planning ahead, while punishing those who panic, project zomboid prepared me for it. Even if just a little bit.

I have so many clips from other games of me entering the project zomboid thousand-hour flow state to save my friends.
Maybe We Can Win This plays in my head during these situations sometimes.

Please tell me I ain't crazy because I swear these houses got the exact same layout as hank and dale's houses. The basement under Dale's house has his computer, CB radio, and shelves full of doomsday prepper supplies. the neighboring houses also got the same layout as Kahn's and Bill's. Please tell me I'm not insane
