    1. 1. Which is better: pancakes or waffles?


      • PANCAKES
      • WAFFLES

    • Your PC does not fulfill the minimum requirements for the game as written on the Steam page. I can only recommend switching to the older "Legacy" game versions by going to your Steam Library > Right click Project Zomboid > Properties > Betas > Select the Legacy 40 or older versions.
    • Almost none of this fits Project Zomboid. :/   50/50 fences? Sure, maybe.   Zombies already differ in physical state. We are not going to L4D it.   Discount the human characteristics from Romero zombies and focus on Brook's stuff to get a better idea of why we've landed on what we did.
    • *shrugs* To be blunt: We fundamentally disagree on game design and what PZ should be.   So your only alternative is mods.   Edit: just to be sure, I do agree with you in principal. Project Zomboid has certain design choices that does not make it a good game in a traditional sense. That's one of the things that likely most frustrates players who find themselves on the fence. The trouble is ... a lot of things that work in other genres don't work in a "realistic" survival game when combined with an open world sandbox and PZ's setting.   Events have to happen more organically (and unfortunately sometimes it means not at all); progression and survival become  risk aversion and hoarding; death is one wrong move away; the mechanics are mostly nondeterministic (but have just enough wiggle room that you can still master them if you pay attention and experiment); tedium, when done right, even feeds into the feeling that this is "real" and discourages some bad behaviours (see mods that remove weight limits eventually bricking saves because people collect so much when there's no impediment); and, worst of all -- the game either ends in your death or your player bored out of their gourd in purgatory -- how very existential and uncomfortable.   It's a very strange tightrope to walk versus the usual thing you would do when making a game. And it's simply not done yet; that as more content gets into the game, I feel many of these problems are going to slowly fall away, albeit in unexpected ways. But, it won't work for everyone. :/   I appreciate the enthusiasm. Please don't let me discourage you -- there's lots to work with, it's just a lil ' bit niche. :p
    • Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
    • The issue seems to be caused by the mods you have enabled, but they do not show sufficient logs to point to the specific mods. Are you able to create a new settings configuration with the same mods and start the server there? If not, I can only recommend removing the other mods to see which one causes the issue.
