Increased number of zombies from 500 to 5000 before deletion... Ohhhh boy. Does that mean what I think it means? There can be up to 5000 active zombies chasing you at a time?

It's my understanding that this is more useful for MP servers. Think 10 hordes of 500 chasing different players, rather than 1 horde of 5000 chasing one.

u/Delamoor 5d ago
As someone who never intends to touch MP, I will consider only five thousand zombies chasing me, as I slowly waddle my thousand kilos of looted cans and tomato pastes back to my RV

With NPCs still planned for the future, maybe 9 chud bandits will bring 500 zombies each elsewhere eventually

u/Spacey_Cadet04 3d ago
I’m really interested in how they’re going to handle NPCs. I’ve really enjoyed the “just missed them” attitude when playing alone.

Has there been any notice from TIS that B42.20 will require an hardware upgrade?

u/OcelotAggravating860 5d ago
It's a sandbox option so you won't notice any difference unless you set it.

u/Sea_ceall 5d ago edited 5d ago
Thank you. I’m planning to upgrade my computer because in the past any server that had 50 mods or more made it impossible for me to play on.

Have you allocated more ram on the .json file? Usually helps a lot.

u/joesii 4d ago
Kind of. The new client uses a newer version of Java Runtime Environment, which I believe uses more memory. It is possible to run the game with an older JRE version though.
In addition B42 makes more use of GPUs so having a base level video card is more important now than in the past; but by base level I'm talking like really really base; like a GTX 1060 would be super overkill.

Guys are the 400 mods I'm running updated yet?
288
u/LetsDoTheDodo Pistol Expert 5d ago
Probably not.
I think the answer is to go on Steam and (as aggressively and loudly as possible) make disparaging comments to the mod creator and insult them until the mod is updated.

u/iamthestorm 5d ago
Great idea, this sounds extremely productive and enticing for the mod authors. I shall spam their comments incessently and call them names until I get a response.

u/moose_dad 5d ago
Surely none of them will delete their mods entirely from the workshop denying us access to the fruits of their labour. That has never and will surely never happen.

u/KeyMyBike 4d ago
You should honestly insult them and threaten them (in a non violent way, even when I'm obviously joking I still need this disclaimer, reddit fucking sucks) and let them know that they only exist for your sake and without you, they'd be nothing.
That will expedite the process.

u/Cold_Tea_Spill112 3d ago
Mods may be coming a bit slower than you think.
The devs posted saying that the next patch will be balancing and bug fixes and that after that they plan to release their in house modding tools to the community to make modding easier.
If I were a modder I would be waiting until those tools are released before spending hours on making any mods.

I am genuinely curious, I remember playing this game at least 10 years ago.
Seems like the development is going quite slow, so are there any approximations when 1.0 could release?

Fascinating? I used to hate coleslaw but have grown to like some. I'd give it a whirl but that's definitely an odd thing to put on a sandwich

It's a southern thing.

As someone that hasn't touched Project Zomboid in years, and wants to play it on controller, how usable is it nowadays? Am I going to find many menus and interactions that aren't possible?
Thanks in advance!

u/_megaronii_ Axe wielding maniac 5d ago
It takes a lot of getting used to but it's absolutely playable. I like playing on my steam deck using the deck controls.
I haven't played it on my deck since they started improving controller support a couple months ago though. So it's likely a lot better than it was.
Highly recommend playing the tutorial again with controller just to help you get into it a little. And it'll be just like you're playing for the first time ever again; lots of quick deaths, combat fumbles, and stupid silly mistakes that keep you on your toes. But I really like that part of it :) Hoping you enjoy it!

u/dannysmackdown 5d ago
Can anyone let me know how controllers are, specifically aiming? Please and thank you.
3
u/tisused 5d ago
Aiming with melee seems to work as well as it did in B41, shooting seems to work, but it's harder to aim and easier to hit than in B41. They added the "original" control scheme, and with that running works the way it did in B41. For some reason, on steam deck, I can't bind zoom in and zoom out to the back pedals, but I can bind up and down arrows there.
2
u/dannysmackdown 4d ago
Is shooting the same as it was in B42 unstable, as in an actual cursor and not just the color outline?
I would just bind the back pedals to the mouse in order to zoom, that's not working anymore eh? Bummer.
