I was thinking, to add a little realism and challenge to the game, that it would be nice if there was some penalty for sleeping in a chair vs a bed.
 
I know if I try to sleep in an awkward spot I wake up sore, tired and cranky. I've never tried sleeping in a dining room chair but I imagine even during the zombie apocalypse it would suck. If nothing else is available (ie you're trapped in an office building by a horde of zombies) then a chair would do, but it would be nice if you woke up with a temporary movement penalty, like soreness, or if you don't get as much sleep as you would in a nice comfy bed back at your base.
 
Any thoughts?

Truth be told this sort of effect is the sort of thing that I was thinking about giving our new dev Chris (@TanglewoodActual) once he's finished his current tasks - but that won't be super-soon, so please, please, if you want to blaze a trail with this sort of coolness then do so

This is something people have been suggesting for a while, so I figured I'd make some special magic happen.

A question ... is it possible to make a recipe for Bricks using the code for Food?
I think about something like
 
Take some Dirt
Make some Mud
Fill this Form
with Mud now i have the Idea to make this Item to a food item ... replace when rotten (when Mud is dry ... i think a day or two) with
(Form with dry Mud aka Brick)
 
With this you can build a primitve Smelter like (only normal texture siza available ... no dubble size)
 
with a laddle   you can take the Molten Metal  and make primitvie Metalitems from Copper to Iron
 
Edit:
I have made an addition to the Meth Recipe
Contains
Pour Out every Glassbottle, Buchnerflask, Gaswasher, Destille, Pyrexdish, Eyedropper and Cylinder the Recipe use (Chemicals go lost)
Assamble and Disassamble Glassdestille (after pour out the Chemicals you will get an empty Destille)
Remove Phosporous Powder and Ephedrin Pill Powder from Glassflask (gives you Powder and Glassflask back)
 
This is for the case when you stuck into the Methmaking recipe and have no Chemiclas to go on. So you can pour out your Lab mats, get them back empty and start with something other.
 
Note: You need the testtubebrush and some Water for most of the Recipes to simulate how you clean your Mats after use.
Eyedroppers need Water to simulate how you clean the Eyedroppers bei soaking in Water (you get an Eyedropper with Water back)
 
Pour Out and Glassdestille.rar
 
 
 

There is actually difference IG btw sleeping in a bed or in a chair ; basically, you get more chance of waking up 1) earlier 2) in pain 3) and/or slighty hurt if you sleep somewhere other than a bed (or any combination of the 3).
 
It wont happens all the time tho (unfortunately) and you still can have a decent night sleeping on a chair... What i can't believe to be true, except if you're highly intoxicated (speaking of personnal experience  )...

Hm i have played with the Idea making Beakers drainable Items and wenn using Eyedroppers every time the beaker goes emptier ... but sure i can make some transfer code ... sounds easier to me.
 
I am working already on some code to empty out the Labstuff from the Meth recipe so you can empty the Flasks and Bottles and use them agein when some Chemicals not available.
 
For the Mead ... hmm i think the Barel makes Boom in the worst case. When making "Wine" in a closed Container (like they do in Prisons) and the Container is closed then the Gas (produced from the Yeast) set the container under enormous pressure ... therefor a Airlock is need to bring out the Gas.
 
I think i can make a Texture for a Ballon with Airlock ... we fill this with Honey and Water and Yeast and fill the Airlock with Water (or Vodka) then we wait and will get fresh good Mead. But we can use booth Recipes to make Mead.

Ok! No problem! I agree on further inspection of the icons, they are in web safe colors and need some help. I'll start working on those tomorrow. In the meantime, here's some siracha. =)

Hello,
 
my first post here to let you know about my little project, the East Muldraugh Nature Reserve.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=942309234
 
I built it in the first place to fill the void between Westpoint and New Bedford.
In the North it connects to the end of the River south of Westpoint, forming a lake. From there it is mainly forest, crisscrossed by some hiking paths for nature tourists. A few huts here and there for those who would like to try in the wild. On the south border towards Bedford Falls there is the small village (Fetzington) east and an Eco-Hotel and a prison on the west.
 
I dont really plan on making many buildings or large towns. I hope others do that. My plan for the future is only to add a few more customized locations in forest. If feedback is good ill look into working over few other parts of the main map with a little more interesting forest and a few small villages.
 
Big thanks to the Authors of the buildings in Building Pool V2 and for the effort of putting all these buildings into a budle.
More of that please!

i hope you enjoy, let me know what you think.

I do agree that there should be some kind of penalty for terrible sleeping arrangements.
 
Chairs < Couches < Beds
Cars < Vans < RVs/Campers

A bit like when you have to sleep on a long plane ride. I've had the same thought about how uncomfortable it would be, and I like your idea of a temporary movement penalty. I'd suspect it might add to a bit of sadness and waking up early.

I was thinking, to add a little realism and challenge to the game, that it would be nice if there was some penalty for sleeping in a chair vs a bed.
 
I know if I try to sleep in an awkward spot I wake up sore, tired and cranky. I've never tried sleeping in a dining room chair but I imagine even during the zombie apocalypse it would suck.

Any thoughts?

Hello!
 
I drove on new cars, tested the update and crushed the zombies.
I wanted to see the possibilities of the car. I opened the windows, moved to another seat, looked at the amount of gasoline, and then came to the radio.
I turn it on and I understand that there is no sound, but instead of a sound, the text line is running. Of course i know that this is a game style «project zomboid»!
 
But! But! But you can't imagine a huge desire to destroy the dead along with quality atmospheric music content! The one who watched the series called "walking dead" probably will understand me. 
Under the musical accompaniment, I don't mean any musical tracks, it can be simple melodies as well as those that are now involved in the game. Considering this idea, you can also add some simple sound for TV. It can be just a hissing sound with an illegible voice on the background. It can also be a variety of other extraneous sounds, like the squeaking of a microwave or an open faucet with water. (I confess, I don't remember maybe this sound is already in the game). The bottom line is, I think this absolutely does not break the general style of the game!
 
You know in the game a «project zomboid» in principle, not many sounds... But it was very important for me, to hear in the game the sound of broken glass, recharging weapons, screaming zombies or a distant shot. I also understand that you are busy with more pressing questions. Like the animation (which we are waiting for) or the same machines, but I ask you not to forget about the importance of sounds, this invisible factor plays a very important role!
 
I think that such a simple soundtrack, in my opinion, is simply necessary in order to feel this wonderful atmosphere of this wonderful game. Thank you, the creators <3
 
Sorry for my English
Yours faithfully, the guy from cold Russia.
 

I think you can make some tests with your original idea of upgrading existing furniture in the world. These must be specific for each furniture so you can start small, with a single bed type for example, and if you like the result you can then expand it to other types.
 
I can imagine it having tooltips showing the resulting tile just like the build menu.

If it can rain in the game, and show rain falling, it would be awesome if snow did the same. Especially just prior to snow being on the ground. Weather effects can look so nice in games, Skyrim for example with weather mods is amazing.
 
I'd love to see PZ have fog, something very similar to what Balrum uses. (Side note: I could imagine PZ having some of these forestry types, the dead looking ominous trees)
 
 

No, there's no snow falling. I need it on the ground but it didn't happen the last time I tried to test it. But I agree with you, there should be snow falling. And if it snows enough there should be snow mounds that slow movement.

I've never seen snow, like snow falling from the sky? In my game I've always just woken up and it's white outside. Snow falling or blizzard conditions is always something I felt needed to be in this game, but I've suggested it multiple times, and nothing.
 
Is there actual snowfall now? Did I miss an update?

Hi, I've been looking for a mod that adds weather control options, either for admins or all players. Being more specific I need snow! It is so rare that it is impossible to test ideas that depend on it.

Sadly no. Otherwise I could just grab any image from google and add it. It has to be from scratch.

I can tell you one thing, you can't pick them up and upgrade them in a recipe way of doing it, because recipes can't use the moveable type of item. I posted about it before and the answer I got suggest they have no intention in changing that. You can change the sprite of existing furniture in the world, so your idea is possible.
