Which version of PZ to play?


IMP22A

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I played Build 23 for a while and built up a nice little base with walls and everything.  Then I realized the zombie migration wasn't working, so it was all pretty much pointless.  So... I go and get the Build 25 (not sure which one, I guess there's at least a couple), where the zombie migration seems to be working, but now zombies don't spawn in the houses.  Does a version exist that has migrating zombies and where they spawn in buildings?  Cause I really don't see a reason to play without those features.  The game is just too easy otherwise.  Build 25 was awesome with the improved zombies, but taking away the house spawning really makes it less intense.

Nah, it seems like all the builds of 25 are devoid of indoor zombies. They might be tinkering with meta-verse elements in the background for all we know.

 

They might make a reappearance in build 26 though. I haven't heard any official word on the subject.

Speaking of which, how do I know what build I have and where to get other builds? Or how to know if my farming is working, bla bla bla. I have been farming unsuccessfully.

 

If you're using Steam, right click the listing for Project Zomboid in your libraries and click Properties. Then go the betas tab and select the version you would like to play. Also, the IWBUMS 25c build is available if you get the code from the appropriate forum page. I'd give the password but I think they really want people to read the disclaimer before they access that build.

 

In 25c, I can farm everything successfully except radishes and carrots. I think there is a watering problem associated with those two because as they dry they seem to grow a bit. I haven't quite figure them out yet. Everything else grows like crazy. I'll never starve in my current save.

 

If you're using the standard Steam build then you're using a stable build 23 version unless you've previously selected a different version. Also, the main menu of the game will tell you what build you're using (but maybe not which version of that build).

 

Edit: Here is the link to the 25c version - http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/4183-iwbms-the-i-will-backup-my-save-branch/

 

Read the disclaimer before you jump in.

Tried these and here's some input!

Build 23 has less loot in the matter of weapons and other tools, but tiles placed on 2dn floor just vanish.

Build 25 has more loot (b23 set to normal gave me less items than b25 set to rare), carpentry works perfectly, but farmining is broke, no zeds in houses, but more aware of your presence w/o any skills. Also your Sneak, Nible and Lightfooted skills increase faster.

Build 25b fixes farmining, but it made a hole (literally) and messed the whole warehouse roof. Was a bit shocked and didn't have the time to test it more.

 

I don't intend to use the food glitch to compensate the farmining bug, but should be oki if you don't want increased realism to the game.

It is my understanding that zombie migration is not a feature unless you go back well before last Fall.  I started playing PZ in November 2013  and it did not exist then and as far as I can tell migration is still out.  PZ is kind of on hold for me until they add migration or NPCs or some other feature to significantly change game play.  I played mostly from 17 through 21, a bit in 23 and very little in 25.  Lately I have been playing FTL and frequently reading the PZ forums to watch for significant additions.
