Alright, well, here we go. I stream games everyday (not Sunday) at 9AM (3pm UTC). I play a wide variety of new and classic games, mostly city/base builder strategy games and battle royal first person shooters.
NOTE: For the foreseeable future Thursday streams will be starting later and ending earlier. These times will vary. Sorry for any inconvenience. Cheers.
I have a small RU-vid channel (history) and I’m a long time gamer who’s been addicted to this game for a while now, I can appreciate a quality channel like yours. You have an easy going manner and I know how hard it is to make content regularly without any financial gain. Keep going man! I’m happy to subscribe and get those watch hrs up :)
Thanks! Back when I made this video I had 60 subscribers and then for some reason this video blew up and is now responsible for 111 subscribers. It is crazy how youtube goes sometimes. Anyway thanks for the encouragement and I will keep it up.
Good question. You can measure it two ways for what has been done and still needs to be done. First is by population, and Louisville has 500000 zombies plus the ones in the buildings, which is somewhere between 50000 and 100000 (I guess). By that measurement, we are almost a third of the way through. If we go by grid, there are about 75 grids that make up Louisville, and we are over a third of the way through there. My guess is this will end somewhere around part 50.
Level 7 long blade, 10 strength and fitness too. The higher strength, fitness, and skill you have, the more damage you do. I like to start with high strength just because it takes so long to get up otherwise but with this strength from like level 4 longblade onwards they are mostly 1 hit kills.
a shame you cannot keep playing after owning the planet. making you business bigger, adding more and more employees, more drama, more weddings....will they get old and die?, can they breed? It really opens some possibilities that a modder could tackle... just their crazy personalities would require at least 1 member to be a therapist with a couch rather than an easy chair in his/her quarters. thanks for the ride... I am going to bed.
I'm glad you're enjoying the vids. BTW I have about 240 hours of Stranded Alien Dawn content if you're interested 😊. It is truly one of the greatest games I've ever played.
the guy standing in front of the flamethrower.....at least in Dawn of Man you were dealing with knuckle dragging neanderthals, but these guys flew a spaceship....on second thought it did crash 🙂..good luck with these Mensa members.
watching you go all OCD in decorating and organizing the living space, maybe you ought to play "Hotel Simulator" next. 🙂 do you know how many extra survivors are possible, or is it random with each game.
I'll check out hotel simulator. Also the survivors that show up seem to depend on which seed you choose. At the beginning of the game, you put in two words, and it will give you the same start point every time. Reddit has a good list of people's favorite seeds. Apparently, that also guarantees how many survivors show up, but some people dispute that claiming it is always random.
I like watching your play-throughs as opposed to many other streamers. They tend to speed through things they "think" you know in order to fit it in a specific time. Before I buy any game I am interested in I like to watch a slow step by step play-throughs where mistakes are made and I learn along with the streamer even when the whole game may blows up in his face..I hope you get many thousands of subs.
Hey thanks! I also believe I deserve thousands of subs 😁. Sometimes losing at a game is embarrassing but you're watching me learn as I go and sometimes we learn through failing. Later on in the Stranded: Alien Dawn videos I try an insane chaos moon play though of the military outpost scenario and after seven hours the whole crew froze to death. It really sucked. But the second attempt at that became and still is my most watched video and if I hadn't failed at that one the second attempt wouldn't have succeeded so it worked out in the end. Anyway, thanks for watching!
you can have a crew of sociopaths, murderers and sadists.....sign me up, on a serious note did you ever consider just getting 1 bed to save resources and make it a "hot rack" and stagger the sleeping hours (like in the Navy)
I did and that works if you have a night owl like... I forget his name but he is happiest doing stuff at night. Beds aren't that resource heavy and, as we find out later, giving everyone their own room with 16 squares gives a happiness bonus. So beds aren't that resource heavy... also if people get disturbed during their sleep they get an unhappiness penalty.
I would be able to venture a guess but I play on PC so I don't know for sure. On PC players have a specific slot to put it into in order to equip it. If I remember right you go to the characters paper doll menu (the one with all their clothing and weapon slots) click on the melee weapon slot of the player (there should be long range slot, short range slot, as well as clothing/armor and items) and when you right click an empty slot it gives you the options as to which item to equip and it will list all melee weapons. At least for PC. Good Luck and enjoy this great game!
is it possible that the slow walk to the fights might be either the 20% of males not "set' to warrior mode, the women, and people without weapons would would only become casualties. just sayin 🙂 (just as an aside, I do chuckle when you go off on the little guys. It is really funny)
@@FidlumBenz the part that adds the comedy is that I assume from your banter that you are from Canada...now I am from the Northeast US and we are known for our brash and sometimes rude outbursts. Canadians on the other hand are 'supposed" nice friendly people that never get mad.....so that makes it so much more entertaining. love your channel, will be watching .
Hey all so im gonna give up for the day. Shaw/rodgers says nothing is wrong but clearly something is wrong. Anyway cya tomorrow, hopefully without any issues.
not a fan of the low amount of sticks on this mod. really have to rush for sticks at the start 5-6 work sites 40 limit. Plenty rhinos for huge stock piles of food, a hunting party of 7-8 spears, very capable of moving onto to another and another and another before thinking that will do for now. (Yeah i manually box a few people and manage the hunt personally, for the same reason you don't like hunting areas.. they chase stuff a whole season across the map.. idiots, and the automation does not apply correct available numbers for efficient slaying, manually 2 goat 4 pig 6 cattle 9 rhino 15+ mammoth lonely quick kill but herd you want more hunters. the automation will send 1G, 1P, 2-3+dog C, 3-4+dog R, 4-6+dogs for mammoth-yes expect deaths on hunt and or to infection) first raid, super unprepared indeed expect losses, second raid should have bows and a few dogs by now but same expect more losses. Barter tools at the start wooden will do cheap fairly quick to make, I think they hold barter at a value of 5 each for a short while, skins is situational, abundant wild grass for grains and straw you can do without and use for minor bartering. third raid after i get 2 full eras knowledge close to getting into 3rd, still I'm at 46 people(not recovering losses quick enough and my cap population can be 60) this raid either kills everyone or enough for the death spiral to become unrecoverable long term you don't have enough people to take on a fourth raid, while you may be able to sustain some of your town until then, still totally screwed even if you can get fortifications, its too much work for so few folk. I can keep the town moral above 70 for most of this, maybe as high as 94 for a few seasons at a time but I'm yet to see any migrants join the tribe. I will watch this series and try again. already I'm thinking more micro-managing and less automation is required.
The sticks are so hard to maintain on this mod. I usually make a bunch of skin coats for bartering myself. Works well for the first half. FYI this is my 6th attempt on this mod and I still hard to do cheese reloads I think 3 times to complete it. It's fun but insane. Good luck.
After watching you keep jumping back in to the same world Quantum Leap style, I have take that to heart as a training style. Grow, learn, modify, and succeed. Still painful to watch you swing at this level of player skill though...😂😂😂❤
I gotta mention that as I see these comments on a Project Zomboid video from the second time playing and now I just finished my 135th live stream of this game is just kind of surreal. Like according to steam this gameplay was like 760 hours ago in game time. Anyway thanks for watching!
Yeah it is just the viewing and aiming systems I found the same. It was the only game I had played like this at the time. It also reminds me of Ultima Online.
I'm glad I can be inspiring! One of my favorite parts of this game is going to all the points of interest. So many unique areas in this game. Good luck 👍.
@gcdani271 I might end up watching. My isp is doing maintenance that was supposed to be done 3 hours ago but is still happening. I can't start streaming until it is finished... whenever that happens.
hey! you may be interested in the mod that activates the zomboids even if they are "un-viewed" buildings! It is on the steam workshop I believe it's called something like wake them up? there is another spin off of it which is much easier on the FPS
I've found the best shot I've had was building my structure with a ceiling instead of a roof, then making my survivors shoot from the flat ceiling at the insects... it helps to build shelters up top, too. So you can stage survivors in each to help defend each other, that way the flying insects don't single out one survivor
Good advice. 👍 in later games, we do those strategies. Especially the Guardians scenario. In this one we make a nice porch and then while dealing with fliers they hang out at the furthest back area.
I think the best way to kite the bugs out is to have all but one of your people (the ones with the best weapons) stay still, and send only one out to lure the bugs towards them. It seems to take too long for them to stop moving and fire, but if they are already stationary, then they can blast the intruders while the other one runs for safety. If necessary, you can swap who the runner is each time. I realise that this comment is ten months too late, but I make it for future playthroughs.
Every legend starts with a classy Settlement Name. Well done! Also you explain things quite well, very useful video for beginner's. Excellent upload with great humour!
Good question. Sometimes you can get away without injuries during a sandstorm because the guys/bots have to be outside for a bit. So I try to play fast and loose with it. Most people won't get injured enough while walking to or from a mine to warrant medical attention.
Angriest colony manager of all time. This is how it should be when we finally start trying this kind of shit. "You died of starvation? You fuckin' idiot!" Or something like that. Excellent :)
If people who aren't interested in project zomboid and happen to live near the towns in Kentucky where it takes place are being recommended videos like this... that's hilarious 😂.
