Revisiting Project Zomboid in 2024 

Hey dude! A tip on why you are always tired is because you jog so often. Jogging takes up alot of stamina (more than alot of people realise) and has gotten me killed multiple times when I first started playing. Crouch jogging takes more stamina ontop of that, and your weight contributes alot to it aswell. If you are running away from zombies, dont panic and walk, you are just faster than the zombies walking speed and it helps you conserve and regen stamina. If you dont want it to take so long to walk somewhere, just right click on the ground and click "Walk To" and speed up time. Hope I cleared it up for you!

i just realized there’s an L in Muldraugh. i’ve called it mudraugh since i started playing the game

Cleared all of Riverside and built an awesome base only to fall off the roof, break a leg and squelch after a few seconds of frantic hobbling. Every death is a lesson learned, 'it's safer to build out than up' was the most painful.

You did ok, pretty good in fact. As you know, this game is hard. But a few tips; 1. Never run, especially if you have shamblers/fast shamblers on 2. Manage your weight (carrying capacity) and especially manage your moodles (this is why you were doing next to no damage) 2 (a). Bonus tip; don't forget equipping items (back, primary secondary) changes the weight reductions. And don't forget you can carry a bag as secondary and one on your back and hold a one handed weapon as well) 3. Know your surroundings - for example the zombies can't climb the fence you were behind in that neighborhood you were in when staying at the house and have multiple exits. Part of this is covered in the next tip. 4. Remove stairs to a multistory building if possible (if you have the skill and tools), then use sheet ropes and have sheet ropes set up at different windows (zombies can't climb sheet ropes) 5. You asked how to kill zombies with ease and no exertion, well fire is your friend if you want to kill a lot of zombies in one go. Especially if you are without skills in shooting and you're not wanting to worry about stamina. Just walk in tighter circles and corral them in tighter circles (don't lead them to where the fire can spread), 5 (a) Bonus tip; use noise to your advantage. For example by using a police/ambulance siren or even car horn to attract them but light camp fires around the vehicle... it's a bit cheesy but it works, just have plenty of food and beta blockers/sleeping tablets to sleep, just park beside a building or fence so they cannot get into the vehicle (park beside the river, then you know it wont burn at least). From what I saw in the video, these few things contributed to why you died. But the most important thing, have fun and find new ways to survive. Also in answer to your question about writing the experiences down and to see and compare our my own experience, well in my experience it is just like the game says; "This is how you died". Great video, keep up the good work. Good luck and have fun mate.

If he thinks "Mudrough" is bad because it has "mud" in it`s name he`ll be in for quite the surprise when he gets to "Wet Point"...

WTF DO YOU MEAN IN 2024, this video was uploaded on october 5th 2023 05/10/23

you should use the display outline setting so you can see which zombies you’re gonna hit and what chance you have of hitting them, especially useful with guns

Thank you for finally uploading this!! Your review of the game is what actually got me into project zomboid in the first place

You're jogging way too often. Rule of thumb is only sprint if you're seriously injured and have to get to safety in time to deal with your injuries, or if you're inside your safehouse and running around to grab materials. Additionally; At night before going to bed, exercise. Exercise, exercise, exercise. Get your fitness up to let you fight and run for longer. Also, get into the habit of actually cooking food. It stretches the food for longer and is overall more nutritious. Also to raise strength quicker, get food with high protein count. Protip: Shift + Clicking curtains will close them without having to go into the context menu, which helps to save a bit of time, especially if you're desperately trying to hide from zombies.

I have my own crazy stories but I saw someone on the Reddit post about how they were doing really well, but died because their character walked into a campfire instead of walking around it to place a pot on the ground to collect rainwater. IMO that has to be the best

Me and my friend where about to raid a gun store (we did not have a sledgehammer) so he came up with the idea to burn a hole in the wall… there where zomboids around and they burned the whole thing down. Only thing saved was a magnum with no ammo

Use something like the minimal display bars mod so that you can learn to better manage your stamina. Having a visual representation of how much stamina a specific action or string of actions uses is extremely helpful. Also gives you a good idea of when you are back to "full" stamina (the exhausted moodle disappears when you reach 75/100 stamina)

Aside from what others have commented, taking the fitness traits goes a long way to improve your stamina during fights and as an added bonus also decreases the chance of being knocked down by a lunging zombie (not that you should be using short fences/windows for large hoards anyways...) Also, fighting while injured decreases your damage, thus prolonging the fight and increasing the stamina drained during the conflict, especially if the injury is to the arms or is causing the pain Moodle. It's best to avoid large fights as much as possible while still recovering from a previous injury.

Go outside and try running while crouching, Now try doing this with a heavy backpack full of crowbars, axes, canned food and God knows what else. Should help you out with figuring why your character gets tired so fast.

Spawned in. Went through a window. Got bitten. Died. That pretty much sums up my (and many others) first experience. But I'm proud to announce that after several hundred hours in this game I've finally survived a full month in game. Constructed my own base, constructed zombie-funnels, planted my own food... xD And I have loved every single hour doing it.

@3:12 You have to follow the tracks past the train depot and head north to a point called "Gap in the Fence" which is the easiest way to Louisville. @13:45 Temperature and clothing are important factors as well as fitness.

80% of my playthroughs end up with my guy dying. The other 20%, my guy ends up "made in the shade" which becomes boring.

RV bought from Jessee.. Your character looks like Walter.. SAY YOUR NAME

Great video, amazing game. Is it possible to have a mod list? especially the rescue one with the military radio.

well made clip and is nice to whatch wold like you to make 1 wid 2 friends and just go true the apocalyps and togheter . go as ironman.

short blade is the least exhaustive, but alternate between them, spears, and a pistol. Thing about firearms is you can be as exhausted and tired as you want and you still kill just fine with some beta blockers.

Do you happen to have a modlist?

What is people's obsession with adding health bars? Still, great video, man!

zomboid is peak 🤞🏽

steve fr gave u plot armor

Running is the aboslute worst thing you can do. It will eat your stamina especially if you run during combat. That’s why I never run unless I have to or I know everything is safe and I’m just base building. Going out on loot “runs” should be a loot walk. Yea it’s going to take longer but you will make less noice and save your precious energy. And sneak running might solve the sound problem but your character will still run out of stamina especially if you are carrying things, I don’t know when I would be carrying a lot of stuff ? Maybe when I’m looting ? I’m not bitching just pointing out the mechanics of the game, thank you for a very entertaining video 🤝🙏

Hey hey thanks for the cool Video! How do you get that cool looking 3d map please? Greetings from Belgium. Iam so hoocked on this game for the past 2 months and i had it for years.. Thanks to videos like yours my love for the game took off Thanks for that. Hope you can share that cool map you use and ow ye thanks for the fire station.

There is no way you drove that rv through the wreck of cars in the highway between mauldrag and the clothing store before westpoint.

Use a lightweight weapon, keep your load down, and sprint less.

Please more zombiecast videos ❤❤❤

What's that mod to wheel fridges on a dolly? I 1000% need that.

Wait, why can the alarm go off when the power grid is down?!

Honestly the only thing missing was Benny Hill music playing the whole time.

I know I'm kinda late to the video at this point but could you share the mods you used in this run? I really liked this but I'm not one of th9se people that just download mods in droves, I like a more vanilla + experience and what you've got going on seems to compliment that

"..installed a mod that turns it into a firestation.." followed by "..possibly the best base location of the entire game.." is the sole reason I'm very picky when it comes to mods cause they can take away from the true depressing nature of this beautiful game. But I can acknowledge theres lots of people that are the opposite and don't care about it.

What are all of the mods that you used?

I think we need a Roewood video

Soooo where's the zombiecast channel?

i found a sledgehammer on the floor on the first day

How many hours of in game play does it take to get to day 30? I'm curious how long the days take to go by. It's hard to tell since this upload was obviously edited.

Some guy named Jessy xD

fitness gives you excess stamina

What’s the mod that gives you the dolly??

daaaaaamn so close

tip: don't jog. especially when zombies are near.

Mud-raw? Thats new

dope

what is the meth RV doing in kentucky

How do i carry my fridge with a handtruck ?

Why the hell can you only walk at the speed of a 100 year old in this game? And you get exhausted doing nothing? Doesn't sound fun

🔥🙏💯

this kid thinks he's going to drive into murdraugh and own it outright.

Ey yo Mr White! xD

does it still play like?😆

un mese con gli zombie ... perchè erano zombie? li avevano resi tali, ahhhh ecco ...

Zombiecast got deleted?

Bb mentioned 🗣️‼️‼️⁉️❗❗

shoudl add parkour mod

real

Are you using mods? If so, what are they?

can someone suggest a game like project zomboid that can multiplayer for mobile thx

"move out of this garbage state and move to florida or something." Thats what we call "youve jumped out of the pot and into the fire."

ME: Should I buy this game? ZOMBIES: GTFOH! No but really! Should I buy this game? Dumped 10k hours into Rust and I need a new survival game! I'm also 40 years old and understand that poor graphics doesn't = poor game!

hope this game gets a console release some day

Lol

You lied to us last time with the other channel. Hope you dont do it again

that was really dumb, you should have kept running in circles until they were gone, not (to keep it spoiler-free), what you did.

I’m surprised you didn’t get an ai to play this for you since you seem to want to force it into gaming so much

is it me or does this game seem not fun
