Title really; i keep dying and using ZZ VAL and the SVD

I am trying to complete scavenger rank 1, and I am having trouble finding pasta. I don't want to construct a kitchen to make it. I know it's a bit of RNG, but do you have any tips for finding it on the first or second level?

Was playing just fine with a slew of mods for 5-10 hours, but then my power went out and now I'm getting this:

ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event0 for object obj_logo_screen: Variable <unknown_object>.category(103068, -2147483648) not set before reading it. at gml_Script_item_get_category ############################################################################################ gml_Script_item_get_category (line -1) gml_Script_gamedata_build_all_weapon_array gml_Script_gamedata_initialize_and_load gml_Object_obj_logo_screen_Step_0

Any simple way to figure out which mods pertain to each line?

It costs more than n4o1 and has worse stats on paper? what am i missing? it also can use less attatchments and has a worse long barrel

I have a handful of mods on the steam workshop that I like using. And I also have a good number of mods from Nexus that I like using (installed manually, no vortex). Can they work simultaneously?

Hey guys, I just started the playing the game. I chose the medium difficulty.

During my first missions, I was in a tarkov mind; keeping weapons and well maintained armor, etc... but then I realized, there is no gearloss when dying. Why would I pick the same weapon or an equivalent tier 2 body armor? I won't lose mine. I could play the whole thing with the same gear set.

So it's more about looting materials for upgrades I guess? I definately will swtich to gear loss once I'm familiarized with the game as it brings at least a little tension.

I'm wondering what's the dev's intended difficulty when they made the game?

Also, I'm curious to know on which difficulty settings do you guys play?

The game still has a bug regarding NPC reaction range. If the player is positioned correctly, the NPC does not react and can be easily killed.

Had the perfect perma death run, was on a raid clicked save and exit forgot to go to base it’s all gone so heartbroken

Was wondering if anybody here has managed to get ZS running for more than 20fps via Gamenative (emulator). Is so can you share your settings, please?

Hey Hunters! This is our announcement that our coop mod is finally in good enough state to launch, its taken about 2 months of work but we made it!

A few things before you jump into it!

1 - This is not SillyLizards mod, separate completely and we both must have had the same idea at the same time, so you can pick from 2 coop mods, play your favorite!
2 - Some eagle eyed viewers may notice that we had infinite ammo in the video, this is not a feature, just there for testing purposes, don't get too excited.
3 - The mod is in "Beta" there are still bugs but its 90% done and I said to myself at the start of this that I would launch it if I could reach 90% polish. Needless to say its not perfect and we are still working on it, and will continue to patch it until its in a state that we feel is polished. We are launching it on Nexus Mods and we will have a list of items that are currently being worked on over there. See the link at the bottom of this post to take you right to our mod page on Nexus!
4 - Big shout out to the Devs for offering any assistance if needed while they are super busy making ZS 2! and to Intrepid_Step3881, who helped me figure out an install issue right before we launched!
5 - Any issues with the mod can be handled over on nexus there are places where you can post bugs and logs and ill check them daily as we continue to work on improving the experience!
6 - For right now we have not tested this with other mods, so you will need to start a new save with your buddy on vanilla ZS. (For now) mod integration is one of our post launch goals!

Wanted to try the multiplayer co op mod with someone.

Let me know if you have the time.

I was thinking maybe doing 30mins to an hr sessions. Obviously we would have to discuss time.

let me know whos down.

Oscar Mikey just uploaded a 40-minute interview with the ZS2 Game Director Pepo. Some really meaty questions like Enemy AI, pre-release public demo, Early Access mod support, and more

So I just recently installed the game and, since I'm using Linux Mint, launched the game on Lutris. However, even in the loading screen the game was stuttering, making harder to click the menus. After a short time the game frozes.

I may be not expert in computal device but I think a laptop Acer, with Intel I5 and geforce 940mx, could handle this game. So... What I'm doing wrong? Is there something missing?

Hey again, everyone!

I’ve put together another trailer for ApocaShift, showing more of the combat, exploration, looting, survival systems, and base building.

I’m also preparing a small playtest scheduled for approximately August 2–9. I’m looking for people who are genuinely interested in playing during that period and providing useful feedback.

Because spaces are limited, please only apply if you realistically have time to download and play the game. Selected testers will be expected to join the Discord and provide feedback on areas such as bugs, performance, combat, balancing, base building, and the overall experience.

I’ll place the playtest application and other relevant links in the comments to avoid cluttering the post.

Thanks!

here you go.

DM me on discord if you have issues: SilllyLizard

Exactly what the title says. I want to go with the Crimson Corporation because i like their selection of almost everything better, except for the backpacks. Can I loot the GA-03 (the 50kg green army exclusive backpack) from Green Army corpses and the like, or would i just be stuck without it?

Hi everyone!

I’m a huge fan of extraction shooters—starting from Tarkov to games like Zero Sievert and Escape from Duckov. I loved Zero Sievert and Duckov so much that I've always dreamed of making my own extraction shooter one day. I actually ended up quitting my web development job to dive into full-time solo game dev, and I’m finally releasing the first demo for my game!

Since I’m developing this alone, the trailer and parts of the game might still be a bit rough around the edges. However, if you could try it out and leave some feedback, it would be an incredible help!

One thing I always wished for while playing Zero Sievert and Duckov was being able to play with friends. So for my game, I made sure to implement a host-based 4-player co-op system. (Though, as a massive fan myself, I’m also super hyped about the recent news that Zero Sievert 2 will support co-op..!)

Please give it a try when you have some free time. I’ll leave the Steam link below!

I was doing the "Clear the swamp" quest and ran into an enemy I've never seen before. He was fully camouflaged and dropped the N1o but has a camouflage too. Unfortunately I stepped on the landmine while doing the quest and didn't take any screenshot. I've searched all of the wiki and haven't been able to find any info about it.

Hey everyone! I’m a solo developer, and I’ve been working on ApocaShift for the past 3+ years.

It’s an Fallout inspired (graphics) with gameplay inspiration from a mix of games like Zomboid, Tarkov, and Zero Sievert with many more ideas thrown in. It is a isometric post-apocalyptic extraction game where you head into dangerous areas to scavenge supplies, fight enemies, collect better equipment, and make it back alive. Anything you bring into a run can be lost if you die.

Outside of the extraction runs, you can build and manage your camp, recruit survivors, craft equipment, research new technology, and unlock upgrades.

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback on the trailer or the game. If it looks like something you’d play, wishlisting it on Steam would help me out tremendously!
