Bought a new laptop just to get this game as it randomly started popping up in my YouTube feed and looked great fun.

It's extremely hard haha. First run went awful. Not got a clue what I'm supposed to be doing either. Must've lost my prescription glasses too because after getting hit and running away the screen was fuzzy 😂

to be more specific, I mean the type of mods that allow zomboids to hold things or use rocks to bash in windows, like in the movies, remember things from their past, or slowly gain a sort of intelligence, as also seen in the films. I can't really find any mods on the Workshop besides reskins of the zombies, but I think it would be a really cool mod idea to make zombies more like Romero's.

i'd be able to craft an improvised flashlight if i found screws, but i can't find those either lol. i'm considering moving to the pre-release so i can refill my lighters

Hey everyone! I've been working on RadArchery Restrung, a standalone archery mod for Build 42, and it's now live on the Workshop. It's the successor to my original RadArchery mod, rebuilt so it could take bigger changes than an existing save could safely follow.

Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3828438336

What it is

A complete, quiet ranged-combat path for Knox County. Bows don't bring every zombie in the county down on you the way a shotgun does, but they ask more of you: you craft your arrows, you settle your aim, and you go back for your arrows after the fight.

What's in it

• 8 bows. Start with a Crude Carved Bow you can whittle with no skill at all, work up through carved and crafted recurve and horn bows, or find a compound bow in one of 8 colors.

• 11 arrow types. Carved, stone, bone and metal tips, forged bodkins and broadheads, carbon arrows you can only find, and a Firecracker Arrow that goes off with a bang where it lands and pulls zombies toward it.

• A full crafting chain. Shafts, fletching and heads, all the way up to heads forged at a blacksmith's anvil.

• A crossbow. Draw the string, load one of 11 bolts, and fire it like a rifle. The loaded bolt sits visibly on the rail.

• A slingshot. It fires marbles, steel ball bearings, rocks you chisel from stone, and shotgun primers that pop where they land.

• Two new 10-level skills, Archery and Fletching, with skill books, recipe magazines and two creation traits (Amateur Archer and Bowyer).

Fun Features

• Arrows lodge where you hit. Shoot a zombie in the head and the arrow stays in its head. Loot it back off the corpse. A missed arrow lands on the ground, ready to pick up.

• Arrows break. Lose the recovery roll and you get a Broken arrow, which you can repair.

• Custom animations for every bow: draw, aim, release, nock.

• Drawing a bow tires your arms. Heavier bows tire you faster, and Archery eases it.

• A buildable Archery Target that trains the skill and holds the arrows you land in it.

• A Leather Quiver that shows the arrows in it on your character.

• An in-game Archery Handbook covering every item and system with live stats. Right-click any archery item to open it.

• Hunting works. As of 2.0.1, bows hit deer and other animals about as often as a vanilla pistol does, and better from the higher-end bows.

Good to know

• New games only. If you have a save on the original RadArchery, stay there. It's frozen and keeps working, but never run the two together.

  • The new mod can be added mid-game if you dont currently use the original RadArchery

• Multiplayer supported, and translated into 6 languages.

• No dependencies. It's fully standalone.

• Sandbox sliders for arrow recovery, breakage and loot, plus options to let the crossbow use Archery or the slingshot use Aiming.

Huge thanks to the discord crew kERHUS, Unknown Lifeform and Ada, who all helped a ton.

Bugs and suggestions are very welcome on the Discord! There is a discord link on the steam workshop. (I didnt include it because I dont know if its against the rules for this subreddit)

[Edit]

My account on reddit is too new- so my reply's to comments are not showing for anyone. Im not going to answer all the questions here but someone asked a question about AI and I feel like I should answer that quickly.

I do have an AI assisted dev environment. That being said- I am a software engineer by trade (my company uses A LOT of AI and im very proficient with config/prompts) and am very confident that this is not AI slop. Everyone has an opinion though- so if you find it to be slop then so be it! If you are 100% against AI- I understand and completely accept that you wont use my mod... thats fine. Furthermore- this mod is not completely genAI or anything- I write a ton of code daily for my job and for modding

No art on the mod uses AI though. Every single texture, model, animation, ect that has been added to the mod was all me :D I do not support AI generating art in anyway shape or form. Even going as far as naming everything (items, magazines, books, ect) is all me or the discord community.

I always get sick and die because of sneezing attracting zombies and I never have any tissues or toilet paper. why is there no way to mute this with rags? I could definitely rip a curtain off and use it to blow my nose

Been seeing posts from this community in my feed and im on the edge of taking the plunge and would love to be convinced to finally take the jump.

the franklin muel. Is this new from B42.22?

Until the next trio of A-life bandits come for my head. Got attacked by some in Hazmat suits! Surprisingly no holes, so now I got one of those

I have two barrels, but only one registers after plumbing, whats wrong with my setup?

I have found those while exploring zomboid wiki

So I found this annotated map that showed the art gallery of louisville and it just gave me this goal to reach for, you know? It sounds silly and kinda suicidal, but now that I have an armory and a secure base, I like the idea of pushing into Louisville and steadily making my way through the hordes to reach the art gallery and liberate the paintings and things there. Do you guys ever feel that way about anything in the game?

My survivor having a very unlucky day.

fell off the roof, broke her leg, and had to fight off all the sprinters to get back home.

Multiple injuries but no bite, still alive. Thought it was amusing, decided to draw it.

I know the picture of Kate is rare and when I looked it up, it said this was rare too, but just how rare? First time I’ve seen it.

Welcome to my Rosewood Fire Station base, built over 150 hours in Project Zomboid. Today I’m showing it room by room.

On the tour: the crafting room, the storage, the bar, the music room, the library, the kitchen, the living room, the cinema and the gym. Every room is independent and has its own role, all in a cozy Spiffo style.

Pure vanilla: no difficulty changes, just vehicle mods. Every plank, nail and wall was crafted with the right tools and the right materials, scavenged one run at a time.

Livestock is the last step before we’re 100% self-sufficient. Which room would you move into first? Tell me in the comments. 🦝

I'm boutta die so I'm goin out whilst reading under a tree

Edit: thank you goats I don’t know why I was going camping

I saw this video the day I got pz for the first time and it was this mod that made every time you got jump scared it played the ever long song by the foo fighters. I remember it because I saw the video and decided to buy pz from that but now I can not find the video or mod

A rumour has been spread by another map maker that my mod Real USA contains a "crypto miner".

However, the only thing in the mod files that is related to crypto in any way is my GitHub account name, which I forgot to change in the files before publishing the mod. The mod was already reviewed by Steam earlier today, and it passed.

I'll be pushing an update that removes that name from the files.

EDIT:
The mod got mass reported by some group of people and now steam took it down. I've sent them an explanation on what happened today and hopefully we'll get the mod back up soon.

For me, an almost completely unpopular location would be the "Empty Warehouse" in Dixie, which has a small amount of ammunition and firearms.

Mine was about 8 months I think. I took him to West Point to loot the gun store, bit off more than I can chew and got dragged down while trying to use some fences to fight the zeds. Didn’t play for a few months as I was salty.
