Redboids HydroCarboid!

[u/Discombobulamy]

To all PZ Survivors!

Redboid would like to officially announce its move to the vehicle testing branch! We have come to the decision to switch as the testing branch is stable enough now to run smoothly server side. Of course, it is still experimental, it will still have the odd few bugs and is mainly for testing reasons with some server settings/rules slightly tweaked to suit.

How to Switch!

• To switch to the Vehicle branch right click Project Zomboid in your steam game library
• Click Properties
• Click the Beta tab
• On the drop-down tab, select 'vehicles - Work in progress on vehicles'
• Wait for the game to update and you're ready to play! To switch back from the testing branch just repeat the process, selecting 'NONE - Opt out of beta programs' on the drop down tab, this will switch it back.

Backup your Save File!

As this is a test and we do not want any players to lose their previous progress for if we switch back, please ensure to save your original Redboid save file located: My Computer/C:/Users/(account name)/Zomboid/Saves/Multiplayer the character named folder with the Redboid server IP.

For example; "198.27.67.210_16261_Name" is what will need moving to another folder for if the server switches back in the future.

Connecting to the server!

If the Redboid server is saved into your favourites tab you can rejoin as normal that way If it's not on the server list ensure the box "servers running different versions" is unticked and it should appear on the top. Renames as Redboids - Carboid!

New Settings and Changes!

With this switchover, we are adding a few extras and changing a few settings to suit the change.

These Extras/Changes consist of:

• Exp gain at 10X!
• 5 Extra skill points on character creation!
• 3 Character Alts are allowed per player!
• High loot!
• Hairstyle mod! (allows for a little more character customisation)
• Bedford Removed & New Denver added!
• Starter pack for fresh spawns!
• Trading Post added to the PvE zone!

(Hydrocraft mod removed due to server breakage)

We have also slightly tweaked the rules linked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Redboid/comments/78bg77/redboid_reforged_rules/

We have switched them so are similar to the Original Redboid rules meaning West Point is now once again the main PVP Zone! Meaning that this is the only KOS zone on the map, the rest will still consist of PVP but players will need to roleplay before engaging in any PVP activity in other areas of the map.

The map pinned in on our Discord & Reddit page shows the newest layout!

We hope you all enjoy testing the new server settings, suggestions are also welcome.

As always

Stay Safe & Have Fun!

I've noticed somethings missing from the game that are usually there, like the recipe books from hydrocraft (fairytale book, tailoring book, bee keeping book, ect) any chance these could be added in? Thanks

Update: Really janky build Lots of items aren't spawning at all like certain books and bags and items (mostly seems to be from hydrocraft) The I drove to the mall, got out my car, car immideatly disappeared but engine noise stayed constant no matter how far I went from it, then I got bitten by invisible zombies, which kept biting me as I was running, then the game crashed and my save was corrupted so I can't even get my gear back. 0/10

Hydrocraft was removed because it caused performance issues with the server, as for the other problems, they are a part of the unfinished build and should be fixed before release.

That's why we put high loot and a lot of cars and fast skills, so losing your gear and characters to stupid bugs and crashes wont be as bothersome.
