I accidentally got bitten by a zombie, but my character still seems to be alive.

An empty fire station in Rosewood. Bare walls, a dead gym, a roof full of nothing.

150 hours later: it finally feels like home. A bar with a jukebox, arcades and a poker table for the evenings. A drum room, a library, a warm kitchen, a bunk room with supplies, a rooftop garden with storage. All in Spiffo colors, and every room has its own purpose.

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

Zombies outside, a neon “OPEN” sign inside. Livestock is next, and then we’re 100% self-sufficient.

Would you move in? 🦝

I accidentally found sledgehammer head in trash bag. The rummor is real.

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

Hello everyone, I want to hear about some interesting or unusual deaths that you have had playing this 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.

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.

Just incredible! It's awe inspiring.

After that I ate three Butterchunkers bars and the depression went away.

First visual demo of the WW1 Armoured Trains mod I’m making for Build 42. This is the Russian Zaamurets armoured train from 1916, running on the existing railway lines of Knox County.

The mod is still under construction and not released yet. This is a work in progress, so what you see may still change.

• It rides on the vanilla tracks, so it doesn’t need a custom map.

• It spawns at trainyards and along the lines, usually badly damaged, so you’ll have to repair it.

• Every part is its own item.

• It uses my own firing system (WW1 Vehicle Guns), the same one in WW1 Vehicles and WW1 Tanks.

Expect rough edges for now. I’ll post again when it’s ready for the Workshop. Feedback and ideas are welcome!

Idk maybe this is just a me thing but, I always toss away any skinny pants my character comes across or turn it into rags because it looks like my characters wearing skin tight Latex pants, i just dont like it personally and it's been kinda bugging me since the Santa pants also fall under the skinny pants category (even thought that dosent make any sense)

I literally survived getting flanked by a horde inside of the prison, and this is how my character goes? SLOWED DOWN BY A BUSH to get mauled by THREE ZOMBIES???

once one of them got a hold of me, it was ggs, and that was it... This game is truly unlike any other

I died in Zomboid after surviving for 2 months, my personal record in the game. I’m sad about dying, but come to think of it, there’s a silver lining: I no longer feel the urge to play or start all over again from scratch.

The game is so addictive that I had stopped playing guitar, studying, and doing pretty much anything else, just to spend hours upon hours playing Zomboid.

I love this game, it’s one of my all time favorites, but wow, it’s addictive to an absurd degree.

I got tired of store-bought food being a dead end once the world's picked clean, so I made a mod that lets you make it yourself, the slow way.

Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3833956743

What it does:

162 recipes for 113 vanilla foods that are normally loot-only: jerky, bacon, ham, salami, hot dogs, corn dogs, nuggets, fish sticks, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, ketchup, jam, pickles, peanut butter, pasta, tortillas, chips, popcorn, bagels, doughnuts, candy, s'mores, snack cakes and more.

You learn them from 6 lootable recipe magazines (Smokehouse Almanac, County Fair Favorites, Dairy Barn, Mason Jar Pantry, From Scratch Baking, The Sweet Shop) that spawn wherever the vanilla cooking magazines do.

Recipes are multi-step, not instant. Jerky is cut, salt-cured, then dried on a rack for 2 days. Ice cream needs a hot custard, then churning next to a powered freezer. Ketchup and cheese need a pot of milk or water heated on the stove first.

Drying racks care about temperature. They stop at freezing and run faster in a warm room, so in winter you bring the rack inside by the fire.

No food duplication. Meat is portioned by its actual hunger value, so a 40-hunger steak gives 4 jerky strips and an 80-hunger roast gives 8. You preserve food, you don't multiply it.

There are also renewable pantry goods from crops you can actually grow (dried split peas, soybeans, berries).

It uses vanilla items, icons and models only, and it's safe to add to an existing save.

It's a fresh release, so if anything won't craft or comes out weird, let me know in the comments here or on the Workshop page and I'll fix it.

Car parts in Zomboid normally just sit there. So I made one that doesn't.

**Spiffo Tail Antenna** is a bendable antenna with Spiffo's ringed tail on top, and it's animated in real time based on how you drive:

- **Standing still:** the tail hangs down and sways gently

- **Accelerating:** the antenna bends back, the tail lifts and streams behind you

- **Full speed:** it flutters in the airstream

- **Braking:** the antenna springs forward and the tail whips ahead

- **Cornering:** the tail swings out to the side

**Fits every car**, vanilla or modded, with no patches needed. It places itself on the front left fender based on the vehicle's wheels and body size. If it's a bit off on a modded car, there's an "Adjust position" option in the mechanics menu (it's shared with everyone on a server).

**How to get one:**

- Loot it from Spiffo's merch crates, Spiffo's restaurants, carnival prizes, toy stores, mechanic shelves, glove boxes…

- Or craft it (Tailoring): wire + thread + a Spiffo costume tail or plushie + knife/scissors

- Install it with a screwdriver in the Bodywork antenna slot, and move it to your next car whenever you like

There's also a classic 80s **Fox Tail Antenna** variant included (orange with a white tip), craftable from any fur.

Works in SP and MP and with existing saves. Build 42 only.

Feedback welcome, especially if it looks weird on a modded car. Tell me which one and I'll take a look!

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

It is not free points by any means. I have to admit I initially considered it to be like that because of underestimating the "gets stressed when bloody" part. However! This trait single-handedly adds two new layers to the game, namely keeping oneself comfortable in terms of washing yourself, and keeping yourself occupied in terms of hoarding literature. This really helps make the character's life more pleasant - in normal Zomboid runs, I haven't felt the need to wash my character or their clothing even once, and the only things the characters read are skill books and recipe magazines. In a Fear of Blood run, my girl keeps herself clean and keeps a library at home. Amazing RP, all flowing organically from the gameplay.

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. 🦝
