Can I Survive My FIRST Project Zomboid Run...EVER??! (The Movie) 

Hey Toonz, the scratch you got at 1:02:53 got you infected and that's why you got sick. Scratches from a zombie have a 7% chance of infection, Lacerations have a 25% chance, and bites are 100%. A few tips for your next run: - You can attach weapons to your back and belt by right clicking them in your inventory, which will put them in the hotbar slot down at the bottom. - When you are in a car you can change seats by pressing Z, and pressing N will turn the car off so you don't have to click the ignition at the bottom, it's just a little hotkey to make things easier. - If zombies get too close, you can push them back with spacebar, you can also keep doing this to push zombies to the ground to easily kill them. - If a window is shattered you can right click it to clear the broken glass with a weapon in your hand so you don't cut yourself when you climb through by holding E, open a window pressing E if the glass hasn't been broken. Some windows can have curtains you can close to prevent zombies from seeing you through the windows. It can be helpful to close them if you stay in a house for a little bit. - Always watch your back when fighting zombies, sometimes they can sneak up behind you to get the chomp.

I WOULD NEVER THINK HE WOULD PLAY THIS PLEASE LET THIS BE A SERIES CARTOONZ PPLLLEEEAASSSEEE 🎊✨️🎉✨️😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

It’s insane that they never once bothered looting the ambulances for medicine despite passing so many 😂

If you guys are planning on playing more of this I got a few tips from my time playing. 1. Go to your settings and turn on the weapon outline, this will highlight zombies when they're in range to hit and saves you from whiffing. 2. Get accustomed to hotkeys. Shift+Scroll Wheel in inventory will quick swap between containers and your bags, H will pull up your health status, and V in a car will open an interactable menu. 3. Blunt weapons have higher knockdown and durability, while blades have higher damage and will put holes in clothing (bad if you want the zombies jacket). 4. For base building, keep an eye out for essentials such as trash bags (for water collectors) and nails. 5. If you're not deadset on playing vanilla, you should get some QOL mods; some recommendations are weapons durability indicator and moodles/traits explained.

I appreciate that Squirrel actually narrated his death so well He even included the size of the house he was in 😂😂🤣

I never knew I needed this until now, time to buckle in for the long haul. 3 hours of Toonz is a gift.

Toonz hosting more Project Zomboid with the crew is an absolute must

A few tips for Toonz: 1. Reading skill books give an ex boost to that particular skill. E.g doing crafting and carpenter stuff after reading carpenter book will level you up faster. 2. You. Don't need to eat or drink the whole thing for the thirst or hunger status to go away. Try having 1/3 of the stuff to manage resources better. 3. Zombs are attracted to noise as well as light. You can switch off the lights or put on curtains. You can craft curtains from ripped clothes or sheets. 4. Avoid running or sprinting if you can. Stamina is limited, a tired character will do less damage and do everything slowly. If you do find yourself in a tough situation, you can have a coffee or vitamin do give you a temporary energy to perform at max. 5. Fishing is a great way to get food, if you are planning to set up your base away from the city. You will need a fishing rod or a spear. Both of them can be crafted. 6. BEWARE of the helicopter event. If it sees you it will circle around you attracting all the zombies to your location. Try listening to your radio, in most cases you will be informed in advance. My suggestion would be to have a second base or an outpost where you can spend time to avoid surrounding your main base with zombies.

I love the 'everyone was a noob once' speech, people need to remember that more.

I hope you bring back the hype. I wanted to see more of this game with a bunch of people on it.

There needs to be more zomboid content like this. no challenges, no end goal, just simply playing the game :)

If you ever find yourself in a zombie apocalypse remember, spears are just about the best anti human melee weapon ever invented and firearms with low grain subsonic rounds and suppressors are much quieter than supersonic rounds.

The comedic timing of Squirrel shooting at 18:29 is hilarious

Finally!!!!!!!! Oh my lanta, he's playing it!!!! Please make this into a long series. I promise a lot of us will thoroughly enjoy this trip! P.S.- it's better to crouch sprint. You're less likely to have zombies notice you. Since there are two of you, you should split your skills evenly. Always have a little medical experience. When there's the helicopter saty inside! If you dont run to a random house wayyy away from your base until it goes away. Use a trowel to dig, not your hands. Learn the generator skill for later to be able to get gas out of gas stations once the power goes off. Collect EVERY, and I mean EVERY garbage bag to make tons of water collectors later on. Depending on your journey you want to do (depending on your settings) you could build a house out in the wilderness like your house you're building right now IRL. Build a farm out there and all

1:03:03 “I’ve got 13 dollars! … Does that matter?” “I don’t think so” lmfaoooo 😂😂😂😂😂

Toonz: Guns attract everyone Squirrel: So then I started blastin'

A video of this with all your friends would be legendary. More the merrier

I hope toonz makes this into a series, it's got lots of "Unknowns" that even I with 800+ hrs on the game still had no idea was a thing. There's also tons of stories and events that happen in the world that keep you on your toes even if you've survived longer than winter *AHEM* bathroom party *AHEM*.

Just in case you're still trying to figure out why you died...while a bite is a guaranteed zombification, every injury you receive from a zombie has a chance to transmit the Nox infection. If you ever start feeling queasy following a fight an injury, it's most likely that. Also to note, when the health screen says "infection," that's not the Nox infection, that's just the wound being infected and slowing the healing process.

At the very beginning, Squirrel said he was by a hospital. Then they spent the last 30 minutes or so looking for a hospital, without Squirrel recollecting that he allegedly saw one at the beginning.

Cartoonz and project zomboid is a perfect combo! Super excited to watch this!

if you got everyone together once a week to play this for an hour or two i would watch every week. this game with big groups is a lot of fun.

So glad to see Toonz playing this game. These "movie" episodes are so sick.

Squirrel's panicking is top tier comedy lol

What I love about this game is how in depth the game goes just in the base game, and even with almost 300 hours in this game it still has a way of making every run feel fresh and unique.

(SPOILER) It was truly sad to see Toonz get infected by the 7% chance from a scratch after absolutely destroying all the zombies he came in contact with.

I never realized how much I wanted to watch Cartoonz play this until now. I'd watch more of this.

Hearing Squirrel panic as his character gets murdered in under a minute is classic PZ.

Smitty made it look entertaining N now I get a 3 hour power vid? Thank you merciful tOonZ!

Bro, nvr did I image Toonz would play this game. While unfinished, playing this with mods has been awesome. Haven't seen the whole video but hope you enjoyed it!

NEVER LEAVE ON A LOOTING RUN WITHOUT SEVERAL DUFFLE BAGS OR BACKPACKS IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR. That why when you bag gets full you cab put it in the trunk then grab another empty one. You'll be able to bring a LOT more supplies home this game is all about planning ahead and be prepared for anything. The game can change heavily against your favor in SECONDS. You constantly have to be prepared

I like how Squirrel completely forgot that he spawned at a medical clinic for his second life lol. Walking around corpses can also get you sick so if you can't find a clinic, an ambulance would have supplies too! Also, besides saliva, blood can get you infected as well if you have it enabled in the settings.

Glad to see this game getting the recognition it deserves!

Project zomboid just really proves to everyone that even with the TWD zombies, we would all struggle to survive. Especially considering the fact that most of us has more negative traits for survival rather than positive ones lmao

I'm so glad you guys found this game, and hope you guys have fun and continue to play, maybe with more people👀 Here are some tips: -You can set sleep to optional in settings that way you're not vampires lol -or to make it more difficult you can make sleep mandatory -Cooking items (pans, pots) are very good items to have long term -they can hold water -guns are good long term but there is a set amount of ammo in the game so use wisely, also as you saw they make lots of sound and attract lots of zombros. -to prevent your character from getting thirsty all the time you can keep a bottle in your main inventory and they'll drink automatically until it's gone -books give you an xp boost, tv/videotapes give you xp as well as performing whatever action (doing stuff with wood raises carpentry, bandaging yourself gives medical, etc.) -crouch walking can get you by zombies pretty easily -as far as medical issues from zombies, bites you will die 100%, lacerations 25% chance of dying, scratches 7% chance of dying -the better your clothing (yes you can upgrade clothing, I'll let you guys figure it out), the less likely an attack from a zombie will be a bite, laceration, scratch -last but not least, don't get discouraged if you die, the game is set up to where you will die, opening message "This is how you died" glhf ❤

Please keep this up Cartoonz! Love your stuff! And PZ is one of my favorite games! edit: also, I have some tips for you! Depending on your settings, most cars will be unusable or lack keys. You got lucky, you found an unlocked car with keys in the ignition! Usually, you can find keys on hooks or in containers in houses, or rarely on the floor around the car or even on zombies near the vehicle! The keys will always spawn near the vehicle they work on, and they are named to help you identify the type of car. Second, make sure to check zombie bodies! They often have good loot, can spawn keys for buildings, have ammo, electronics, armor, crafting materials, etc.

I know long videos like this aren’t for everyone but I love it. Especially a game like this. Perfect for watching while I do chores. Thank you Toonz

I am currently at the 50 minute mark and idk if you figure these out in the rest of the vid, but I got some info that might be helpful. - To switch seats in the car, hold V to open up a radial menu of interactions you can do in the car, and the switch seat option should be there. - Using cars as a barricade has been a bit nerfed, they can still climb under the car to get to you. - Scratches and Lacerations carry their own chances to get infected, a scratch is about a 7% chance and a laceration is 25%. A bite is a guaranteed infection. - To tell that when you're infected, there will be a sickness moodle that shows up and will get more severe, note that the moodle shows up in other situations as well (being around corpses for too long, eating spoiled food, etc.) If the sickness moodle shows up way after a bite or a scratch with no other possible reason, it is a good chance you're infected. - When a scratch on your health menu says infected, it does not mean you carry the zombie virus, it means it will heal slower and is not much of an issue. You can find alcohol wipes or bottles of disinfectant or just use bourbon in order to help get rid of the infection. - Be mindful of insulating yourself too much. The normal game start is in the summer, so wearing fewer layers can help you stay cool. However, you can be more careful about heat by carrying more water or exerting yourself less if wearing more armored clothing is your concern. - Meta Events will occur in your surroundings, such as screams or gunshots, these will move hordes around so be mindful of them. The main one is the Helicopter Event, and will show up a bit into your run. They will follow you and attract neighborhoods of zombies. Either be prepared and hide, or start driving away from whatever you own. To know when one is coming, find a radio that can pick up the Automated Emergency Broadcast System. It can tell you if it detects unauthorized air traffic in the map. - Guns are loud but some are not as loud as you think. Pistols can alert a smallish area and rifles alert a wider area. Shotguns have the widest area of noise and will bring hordes on you if you're not careful. - One handed blunt weapons will train the short blunt skill, while two-handed blunt weapons will train long blunt, and the same with blades. Crowbars are a long blunt and they can train the maintenance skill reliably. Axes and Spears are the best weapons for killing, but axes require a bit of training and take some endurance, and spears are very fragile. - They are ways to open locked doors. You can lead a zombie into a building and kill them, there is a chance that they can drop a key. The key will always be for the building you killed them in, and it can open all the locked doors in the building. - If a key is difficult to obtain, you can dissemble the door. Look at what the door requires to be dissembled (Hammer and Screwdriver, or a Propane Torch and Welding Mask), and you can get into a room if you have some time to spare. - If you can't get a key or have the tools to dissemble, but you have an axe or any damaging weapon, you can aim and hit the door with your weapon. This will take a while unless you have an axe or a sledgehammer. If you're able to obtain a sledgehammer, you can get into anything and anywhere if you right click and select the destroy option. With the sledgehammer, you can destroy furniture, walls, and doors that are blocking your way. - Q to Shout might seem useless, but if you're careful, shouting while outside a house or a room can attract any zombie behind doors that could surprise you. This will reduce the chances of a bite to the back, or finding too many zombies to handle. Standing and pressing Q will let you do a loud shout, while crouching will let you whisper to attract only a few zombies in front of you. Crouch shouting or knocking on a door (hitting it with your weapon) might be safer options for attracting zeds. Hope those help, and if you guys continue zomboid, good luck!

There is a setting that allows you to highlight your target with an outline depending on the weapon you are using. This basically allows you to visually see when the zombie is close enough to swing your weapon to connect a hit. Less melee whiffs.

Love it how Squirrel always leaves the car running. Also you definitely can sleep in multiplayer. Everyone just needs to sleep at same time.

Also, whenever you enter a building, it’s always a good idea to close the door behind. You said that zombies don’t come in behind you because you’re not gonna know until you turn around and you can get cornered.

I think it's funnier to see new people play it and also more fun because at a certain point it becomes too gamey and I'd rather play it myself. Seeing new people play is fun, especially when they come up with things that are actually smart organically.

As someone who’s played a little bit of the game and still doesn’t know everything, the game has such depth and detail for example, you can’t place a generator indoors otherwise your character can die due to all the toxic fumes, but if you open a window, you’ll be okay.

Thank you for playing this! Wish Delirious had enough time to record this long of a video with ya.

100% need a series of this - and 3+ hours is great!!!

In summary: the real Project Zomboid was the friends we made along the way

It’s hilarious I knew exactly where Squirrel was from his descriptions. This is such a great game can’t wait to finish the next half of the video XD

I love how squirrel leaves the car running like fuel isn’t essential or there inside a closed space and they won’t suffocate

Cartoonz, there's an option where it highlights the enemies with melee, can't remember the setting rn, but you can look for it if you want :p

Toonz’s intro was like he was preparing us for war 😂

Awesome video! Definitely a great early run, and I hope you make more videos on Zomboid. I did want to mention that Squirrel had it a bit tougher then you may think. He had very low fitness and strength so he couldn't back peddle away from the zombies very well and he hit like a wet noodle. At his stage in the game he's supposed to be sneaking around and stealth killing solo zombies, compared to him your character was a tank. Thanks for the 3 hr vid/movie!

Cartoonz: You got bit, ur gonna turn into a zombie Squirrel: Nuh Uh

This game is such a gem. Really hope this is a reoccurring game on the channel.

I demand a series of this please, keep the narration too, 🔥

Dude, I could watch unlimited hours of this. I hope you do long videos of this often. It's fun to watch.

Looks like the Vehicle "Easy use" cheat option is active. It makes all vehicles start with gas and keys. 😆 Still, always fun to see more people get into the game.

so glad to see you guys playing that great game would love to see you play it more also feel so bad that the ONE time toons got hurt he got a scratch with only like 5% chance to be infected and failed that checks so brutal

This is something I always dreamed about, I never expected you to actually play this gem of a game, and 3 straight hours of content too, I must be dreamin

I loved this game so much, I played it as a kid when it was barely started in alpha! Please do more Toonz!

I looked it up The game will never outright tell the player that they are infected, and will instead develop symptoms over time. Therefore, if scratched or lacerated, you may not be able to know you're infected until the nausea and worse symptoms In Project Zomboid, dealing with sickness can be a difficult problem. To eliminate nausea, identify its source, rest in a secure location, avoid cold and damp environments, and keep away from dead bodies. Lemongrass can also be consumed to prevent food sickness. Also that scratch that you got the literal only one you got in the whole video got you infected which is why y’all can’t see it tell you anything about it so yeah you are dying but they said lemongrass can help.

It’s a long and difficult trial, but eventually you’ll be able to make it to day 2 without dying

It is great seeing toonz play project zomboid! When you play coop, you don't need to sleep, so I can see why they were curious about why they were never tired.

This is actually such a great game, id love to see Toonz make this a series

Haven't looked through all the comments but getting the Zombie virus can also be caused by leaving blood on your body/clothes depending on the type of transmission selected in the game options. Would love to know how you seemed to have the key for every vehicle you came across though :P

Please ket this be a series. I love seeing new blood in the zombie pit!

You just love to see new players walk outside their spawn house and start running. I rub my hands together like, dis gon b gud. This game teaches you patience real quick lol.

All of squirrels excuses sounds exactly what somebody who was bit would say😂

Sincerely hope this becomes a series. PZ is easily one of the most difficult and satisfying games out there right now.

This game started my channel! Its so good to see one of my favorite creators playing it, especially in long content form.

I've played this game for a few years now. This is peak excitement.

tips on survival that I can give you. Know the moodles and what they do, for instance some moodles like panic and pain can reduce your stats and make you weaker as in your strength to kill a zombie can be hindered drastically. Once you understand the moodles you will understand why your character cant kill zombies or aim that shotgun. Always carry beta blockers if you are clearing large numbers. Also know when to run. Close spaces with lots of zombies is bad, better to be in the open, or fight them in a choke point like a open window or a fence where they have to stumble in to get you. Good luck out there.

This is my favorite video from you for a good amount of time. Yes I love the content but this is actually amazing and fun to watch! As are your other vids but this definitely needs to be a series. I’m chomping at the bit for more!!

Zomboid series would be so much fun to watch, keep up the content man!

Hope this becomes a series Fr, great game to play wit friends especially wit modes. But overall glad to see you playing this beauty of a game.

More of this please. I really love watching Project Zomboid. Try living longer or make an episodes out of this.

I'm hyped that you're finally playing this game Toonz. You should really check out some of the mods. Huge quality of life changes.

Badass, I really wanted to watch you play this game!

Dude ever since Cartoonz played that zombie survival game i was hoping he'd play Project Zomboid, its a better version of the game he played and its totally his thing from what i know, glad he played this

Toons, I never thought I see you play this game, but im grateful you chose 3 hours. Love your work and your energy, man

As an experienced lone survivor, watching them play is both hilarious and frustrating as hell

I would love for this to be a series on the channel so much potential with this game

Just found this video and I'm absolutely loving watching you guys. It's great watching ppl learn this game and how excited they get when they learn something about. I've been playing for a while and I can't keep from yelling to you to do such and such. Sooo funny and great entertainment. You guys are gonna be awesome when you learn the ends and outs of this game. I hope you keep playing together.

This was funny. Can't wait for part 3 man.

Now imagine this with more people That is always a masterpiece

I'm pretty certain that no one in the Project Zomboid community would get upset seeing a noob play because this is always hilarious. Looking forward to perhaps more of this in the future!

I would love to see you guys play more of this game! Definitely a great binge worthy game

I can only imagine the chaos of the whole crew played this

I love this game. I'm so excited and looking forward to the update with animals and NPCs.

NOW THIS! I had to wait until my day off from work to watch. Now I'm home, got my favorite foods, favorite snacks, and watching these fellas play this amazing game, ZOMBOID! 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♀️

please make this a series. absolutely love this content Toons

Props to that editing though, good work

one of my favorite creators playing a criminally underrated game what more could i ask for on a wednesday afternoon

You are so lucky to find a working car so fast after starting! I've played this game some and it's pretty good. I'm enjoying this so far!

I would love a series of Cartoonz playing this game with his group, even like a modded or like a story kind.

Such a great game, would love to see more of your story ^-^ lmao

I've never heard of this game but from looking at the intro it seems like the kind of game I would like. And it's a 3 hour video which is awesome. especially considering the day I have had I flipped out of my lawnmower and the main breaker in my house caught on fire but thats beside the point im going to watch this outside in the dark listening to the sounds of zombies and animals

I just love how he just yells "SQUIRREL!!"😂😂😂

Last tip. A can opener is the most important thing in game so carry it with you all times. Use your glove compartment in vehicles to store a little bit of food, water, medicine, bandages, alcohol wipes for infections, maybe a regular book or comic book to help with depression, and extra some ammo for your gun or maybe keep a extra pistol in there because your character will get in situations on the road where you are hurt, hungry, or thirsty and there may not be supplies around or time to look for any in emergencies like that. I wear a fanny pack to store a suturing kit and thread in case I have to stitch up deep wounds. Rest of my loot I store in a backpack I wear. I always make sure I'm good on medical supplies when out so I may have a couple bandage and alcohol wipes on my person and in my backpack. They don't take up much room. I have a water bottle on my person as well and always drink out of a water source before going out and I top off my water bottle. You can wear a backpack and also wear a fanny pack at the same time. Keep a screwdriver in your backpack or in your car trunk or in car. Keep hammer, wrench and also car tools like jack lugwrench in trunk along with a full can of gasoline, nothing like running out of gas middle of nowhere, and maybe just a couple of spare engine parts when you mess your car up too much so you can fix it. At home use sheets to cover windows especially on the bottom floor.

Anytime I can get 3 hours of Toonz in me, it’s a good day😁

This was great! love to see more. I think just for the sake of convenience since this is a mp lets play you can turn off infection in the sandbox settings on your mp server to disable it. or if you want to get squirreley you can install a mod for it that lets you cure it with antibiotics to give you at least a chance of making it versus 100% death rate if its a bite. also i think there is a mod that lets you see your co-op partner on a map at all times or something. its been a while since i played mp so i'm not sure on that but could make things more conveniant for future runs since the maps are big and if you can't find a working car its going to be a very long time before you sync up oh and yes in MP you can't sleep. things happen when you sleep in SP to stuff outside your reality bubble and you cant make that work in MP unless you force everyone to sleep at the same time or something
