>every library now has the shelves filled with meme books like the encyclopedia of STDs instead of skill books
>if you're lucky there's a single shelf with 3-4 skill books and nothing else
not like this...Cant wait for this game to fall into same pitfalls CDDA has>First Aid skill still doesn't do literally anything
3 years and they couldn't just make the skill heal your wounds faster?

>Slow healer still just deals more damage to your character
>Fast healer still just deals less damage to your character>>1548075
What's even the point of first aid, to bandage your hands if you're dumb enough to break a window with your bare hands? It's not like you can do jack shit when you get scratched or bitten.
Did they add wound infection mechanics or does it still not matter if you use dirty or clean bandages?>>1548079
there's a sandbox setting to make infections damage your health but it feels like it doesn't do anything>>1548075
>guns now have a chance to misfire, causing burns on your hands and breaking your gloves
>only way to fix that is to wait for 3 weeks for your hands to heal naturally so you can use them again or craft ointment which requires 7 first aid skill
>there is no ointment you can naturally find, only stuff you can craft yourself
>also applying splint requires 4 skill, sutures are 9 skill
you rike?>>1548079
First aid does a few things as of current. It makes you bandage faster (irrelevant), it keeps clean bandages clean longer (irrelevant), makes fractures heal faster and impact you less (only decent thing it does) and gives you a little tooltip if a particular injury is "severe" (Completely useless)

Wound infection now has a world modifier if it'll deal damage to your character, but that's it. It defaults to off.

>>1548081
The medical skill levels are a little fucked up honestly. The way it presents it to a character through the skill books is having you jump around all over the place with levels of care. You don't technically learn anatomy until level 7-8.>>1548075
First aid was always a meme as long as they have zombies doing 1 hit KO's.
>Thank god I had first aid, my character lived 7 hours with the infection instead of 6
>Said nobody ever>>1548086
It's why I turn off zombie infection honestly. I think it makes the game more interesting when you have to actually engage with the medical system instead of drinking bleach after getting injured once.>>1548037
>>1548038
Or just disable combat muscle strain in sandbox. Whatever the game is lacking at least it has really good options for customizing the difficulty,>>1548075
Don't give them ideas. They'll make it to where you need 5 First Aid just to bandage yourself with a rag.>>1548019
tedious =/= difficult
>>1548034
Thank god. Jamming is absolutely retarded. It should only be on weapon condition. Yeah heard the point blank was bugged before.

Anybody dissuaded from 2 handed weapons? Since dark is very dark you'll need a light in the other hand if you want to see well. Been using short blunt.>>1548088
Same, although first aid is still irrelevant. Not even in MP with friends would it really be that impactful to have a dedicated medic.
If there were more medical actions, like in Rimworld, then there might be a point. It could be cool for some really long running game to have to consider being able to do surgeries, but its the same problem as with crafting rework, its useless and invisible to almost everyone playing the game.>>1548100
Not sure if its a Common Sense thing but you can put a flashlight on your belt slot.>>1548100
there are military flashlights you can attach to a chest rig to free your other hand, I think you might also be able to attach lanterns to something? I'm not sure but it would make sense>>1548104
Just launched the game, playing pure vanilla. Couldn't do it but nice to know there's a mod.
>>1548105
I saw no option for the lantern. I hold it in my off hand. I heard of the L light but it seems rare (and needs webbing?)>>1548110
>I saw no option for the lantern. I hold it in my off hand.
I don't really understand why they would add a craftable lantern and a flashlight if both work the same way, you'd think the lantern could at least be hung from a backpack or belt but provide less illumination in front of you but if that's not the case then I really don't know what is the purpose of themWhy is every balance patch full of smug hateful undertones?
>Ha, fuck you players we're going to fill the map with a gorillion zombies!
>Fine, we'll just burn them with molotovs
>Next patch
>Molotovs now need hyper rare magazine to craft
Eugh.>>1548116
Same reason why 7 days to die became shit. Devs have an extremely specific "Vision" for the game and try to force all the players to follow it to the detriment of the game's core systems. Of course, with these long running indie games they have enough dick riders nobody will call them out on their bullshit.>>1548116
it's probably to prevent griefing tards on serbs with firespread enabled from spawning in and immediately throwing molotovs at every important location
but I guess you could just put metallic stuff into microwaves or turn every oven you find on and then leave
honestly who the fuck knows what goes through lemmy's head when this stuff gets changed>>1548121
>Make game with 'realistic' fire which IRL burns entire cities without firefighting
>Gets made at their own design choices
>WTF players why are you using the tools we gave you and wanted to give you!?
Lemmy is a fucking sociopath.>>1548122
>Make game with 'realistic' fire
zomboid fire is not realistic lmao
what even happened with the supposed fire rework they kept showing off in thursdoids few years back? Must be another memoryholed featureWeren't you supposed to be able to properly plumb a sink (i.e not having to have the rain collector be directly above it necessarily) in this update?>>1548123
'member slowly sliding doors open to peek inside? I 'member.>>1548124
No, plumbing was removed in this update>>1548124
nobody knows, you can't use the old method anymore so either it's currently bugged or it was removed so a different system could be implemented for it (except they forgot to actually make that system first before removing the old one lmao)no wonder it took three years, absolutely fucking the hitreg on downed zombies to this extent must have taken a serious amount of manpower!>>1548123
It's realistic enough. In real life most cities would burn to slag without firefighting.>>1548132
it took these retards 3 years to make half of the update and everything in it is still broken as shit
then they were pressured into releasing it early by the community because fucktard lemmy talked too much on Reddit and confirmed 2024 release date in a random comment 6 months ago despite constantly whining in thursdoids about how setting deadlines is bad and makes everything worse>>1548034
3.5 tiles is a mile away, how is that point blank?>>1548141
consider it from the gameplay perspective
if 0 aiming character can only hit point blank shots, leveling up aiming if the point blank range was 1 tile would means you'd have to go and kill 20 zombies midway through their bite animation with the pistol just to level up and not suck complete ass with it>>1548132
Hitreg on downed zombies has been fucked since they added animations.>>1548151
Thought it was just me being bad, multiple times I've had this thing where I'm going to bash a crawler and it somehow doesn't do shit, meanwhile the fucker is chomping on my feet.>>1548047
Having to level maint to keep them sharpened is a real fucking drag now though>>1548181
Can you still make stone axes?>Want to replace broken handle
>Need maint 1 and carving 1 to make the handle
Maint 1 slow but faster once you realize sharpening gives exp
Carving? Can't make planks into in spears. Have to rely on sticks I found and brooms. Then I'm suppose to use the spear to break it then carve that into stakes?
Would prefer if they just make recipes give shit condition.>>1547953
i would understand your pov if there were some dangers to living in the forest, but there arent any. no predators, no ticks, no diseases, no natural disasters no nothing.

and for that reason i will call you retarded.>>1548236
>Need to find magazine in order to learn how to sharpen sticks
PLEASE don't give them any more shitty ideas. The fact we need to find a magazine to craft literally anything in this game is tormentI think I'm done playing until crafting comes back.>>1548080
yes but will it kill you? cold deals damage to the player, all the way to one but doesnt kill you. at least last i checked maybe they changed that too.>Hotfixes allows players to remove half the "features" on the b42 patch notes
this actually funny. "features" so shit you gotta turn them off at sandbox, which leaves the bloated crafting recipes and basements as the only added during this patch cycle. 3 years for this.>>1548287
We get it dude. The game sucks and the devs are idiots. Whatever.>>1548291
you have no business here if you don't like the complain kino
