i keep suggesting that saws blades should break and you'd need to find new saw blades, just like the fishing rod + paperclip deal, i think its a good idea but maybe its just me.

Thanks for the thread guys! Some of these look a little more 'in-depth' than others, but keep'em coming.  Some good stuff in here.

I like these! Going off of the zombie ash, perhaps it would be possible for us to see burned areas of forest slowly recover and grow back grass?

Since in the mondoid its mentioned that small but important stuff are added such as drying of towels and that we are urged to suggest in the forums. I have started a thread so that others may pile up their most important feature that is not very complicated but you think should be in vanilla.
 
I want to suggest some others that might be a good thing to add
1. Removing of zombie ash (burned zombie - currently no way of doing this unless using a mod)
2. Addition of Red and Black paint (its rimary colors and black is a popular paint colour for some).
3. Removing redundant distribution files that has been replaced to avoid confusion.
4. Making wearable stuff like clothes and skirts to become moddable like the rest of the items ( this might be hard but will add so much to the game if its enabled )
 
 
Thanks

Woot i got mentioned i am a huge fan of the Zomboid game and the devs so i kinda feel happy about this Lol.
Thanks for caring in between the busy schedule keep up the good work

You know who else is bad at wordplay?
Rathlord.

Nah. You're just terrible at the buns

Wounds
Amputation
Either self inflicted (such as cutting off bitten hand) or inflicted by a weapon, you lose the limb and suffer from severe bleeding.
Animal Bite
Like zombie bite, except caused by animals once introduces (Feral dogs, feral cats, wolves, etc.)
Back Pain
You have pain and have reduced wight capacity, happens when you carry to much weight, needs someone to help
Blind
You can't see. Happens if your eyes take damage
Decapitation
Just about as obvious as zombified: (Your head seems to have been severed by someone's bladed weapon)
Dislocated
One of your limbs (usually an arm, though sometimes hand or leg) has had it's joint dislocated. When you have this injury you have pain & can't use the limb. Can't be naturally healed, has to have someone else do it
Paralyzed
Can't use your legs, and have to crawl. Can happen if you fall from great height.
Severe Bleeding
Like bleeding, but happens at 2x normal rate. Happens when a wound hits and artery (5 percent chance on arm, leg, or neck.)
Tooth Ache
Causes pain but not much else I could think of. Gives you a reason to use a toothbrush, as it would prevent (or at least decrease the chance of) you from getting one if used regularly
Ailments
Bad Breath
Makes you have not as good interaction with npcs, otherwise not much else. Gives you a reason to use a toothbrush
Flu
Like cold, but more severe. Possibility of dying (Very rare)
Leeches
Like ticks, except that you can only get them in water. Also makes you drowsy after having you on them for a while form blood loss.
Mosquitoes
They can get you outside, spawn in small clouds that can be identified by small black dots flying around the tile. Give you itchy bites that make you perform a little less that your best due to constantly having to scratch.
Parasitic Infection
Caused by eating bad meat. Animal meat could have a small chance of having it. Makes you feel drowsy all the time and also gives other symptoms of stomach bug
Ticks
Like mosquitoes, except kept biting until removed, only can be gotten in forest areas.
Traits
Blind
Like the wound
Paralyzed
Like the wound
Self-Chiropractor
Your able to pop your back and relocate your joints
Professions
Chiropractor
Able to pop backs & relocate joints on others, would have similar skill bonuses as that of the Doctor
Dentist
Like a doctor, except can fix tooth ache with proper materials
Items
Crutches
Could be the equivalent of a splint for a sprain. Would have to at least be equipped secondary, would reduce movement unless equipped in both hands.
Wheelchair
Would allow you to move faster while paralyzed. Someone with the paralyzed trait would start out with it automatically. Can't be crafted.
 
well, that's it. Tell me if you see a problem with my stuff.

Can't believe I missed this, yeah! I think the devs said they're thinking of doing it and it's something tied quite closely to Zombie lore IIRC.
 
 
Certainly something necessary though I don't think a new name has to be given to it. Just have a normal bite without the possibility of zombiefication. Could lead to interesting interactions, maybe a medic could tell the difference?
 
 
I've never had by back "hurt" ingame, despite the moodle constantly warning me of this and my normally having an inventory weight of around 40 or more (I like building stuff). Certainly required!
 
 
I didn't think of this and I like it! I think casual players might hate it though...
 
 
Tis but a scratch!
 
 
Also could be caused by climbing with a very heavy inventory.
I do mountain climbing and I've been in situations where I've had to fix this myself. Should cause a ton of pain and panic.
 
 
I'm sure that some of us have friends in this position IRL and it would be an unprecedented step in diversity if TIS included this. Would be a terrifying experience to be paralyzed during the Zombie Apocalypse.
 
 
Makes perfect sense.
 
 
Makes sense though I fear it could become somewhat micro-managey.
 
 
Yes, should also cause pain and nausea. Should also be contagious, don't believe the guy who says it's just a cold! 
This would be an absolutely epic RP factor. Relive Season 4 of The Walking Dead?
 
 
Yes! Insect repellent could be added as well to make getting bitten less likely.
I think adding a physical object for mosquitoes might be a bit too intensive. Maybe have them as a summer thing where you'll get bitten randomly. Outdoorsman wouldn't be affected as much of course.

Yeah the reason for that is because you LITERALLY burn away the nerves and tissue so you dont even feel it. So they can't send the pain signals to the brain.

I like cauterized but with that one it would probably give you "Agony" instantly because i dont know if you've ever been burned, but a toaster burn hurts like hell by just tapping it, i can't imagine what putting a flame on your wound would be like.

What if we wanted to combine waffles and pancakes into some sort of pan-waffle enterprise of delicious proportions?

Yeah it's what i though about as well, maybe devs would have an idea about, they always surprise me every update

I'd be pretty sad if my safe house went up in flames, but that would be pretty hard to program im guessing, unless it was just a random tick that happened that would decrease your happiness

Well ... I am still working on my ASCII-Strategy game. Here's a small gif showing the new (and still very basic) AI battling against itself. The system I use basically mocks player input which means the game doesn't care wether a character is controlled by the computer or the player which makes it easy to turn the whole system on and off (and also reduces overall coupling).
 

 

 
P.S.: Sometimes it feels like I'm not really making progress so it is actually quite nice to see how much the game has progressed since the last time I posted here ^^

You know, I think the idea of a mentally unstable trait might actually fit in quite well with what the developers have in mind. I remember reading up somewhere on plans to integrate insanity or something of the sort.
 
This is kind of tangential, but there was a point in time where I swore that this was already implemented. It was on my multiplayer server and I had a group of friends that died in the mall (it was a bloody mess, I was the only one who made it out of the horde). I got back to my farmhouse nearby and sat in front of the fireplace reading a book, staring out the window and waiting for my friends to make it back, when I swear I saw a human figure walk directly up to the door of my house to get in. I got up and unlocked it, ran around (sprinting level 7) to catch whatever it was, only to find that my friends were still going through the residential area north to get here.
 
I never found what that was. I must have ran around my house eight times. Either I was actually losing my marbles after a tense pseudo-life/death situation, or there was some kind of ingame explanation for it. 

Wait what, from what i remember, depression comes after feeling unhappy for a while so that would render that trait null since sooner or later it will happen with trait or not.
Also depression is like "oh man today i feel sad, maybe tomorrow i wont" as periodic episodes of it.
 
And if i remember correctly again, there was some discussion of improvements to the moodles that will include the mental stuff, like depression and insanity, maybe we should wait and see how those work first.

Good. 
 
Trying to wrap up touches on buildings. 
 

 
TCO

Finished all room defs for the Football stadium, there shouldn't be a problem anymore, but please let me know. 
 
This Stadium is beautiful. 
 

 
TCO

26,21 Prison - southern cell doors on both levels are not working as doors. they appear offset from door frame and be walked through.
25,23 A lot of empty and unfinished shells of buildings in the NW corner near map edge.
26,23 Another military checkpoint with a few black tiles. Located infront of the mansion.
27,23 Large rectangle warehouse empty/shell only.
28,24 All the flooring in the military buildings on all floors is bugged. Ground floor is black and cannot be walked on. All upper levels have no flooring.
28,24 Military watch tower in town.. tent flooring Is all black
29,23 SW corner of stadium in cell/holding area and adjacent rooms - black flooring. Same issue also in another part of the stadium west side, perhaps on a higher level.

Testing as of todays build on 31/08.
 
Issues:
30,19 black floor tiles on either side of the road, just east of the checkpoint.
30,19 Fossil mechanics place has burnt roof tile (north eastern building). Its a buggy tile and would recommend getting rid of all of them across the map and replace with a roof tile.
29,19 Not a single crate or shelf to loot at the mccoys train yard - might be nice to add some to this area
28,19 Security/control rooms at the back of the hangers (both) have no flooring so players will fall.
28,19 Military base is only fenced off from the front and the back is open. Doesn't make much sense. Add perimeter fencing all around? Or perhaps add a broken or burnt wall section to create the illusion of a break in/previous raid.
27,20 Building next to train tracks could do with a little more interior polishing. Seems fairly empty.
25,19 Rectangle warehouse building in NE corner of cell has black roof.
25,19 Eastern edge of cell, ,Just south of the water tower, the first 2 buildings. Both have stairs up, but cannot get back down. Also is no railing to stop players falling on the south side.
25,19 Water towers - the staircase on the side cannot be accessed as the doors opens, but there is a fence in the same place as the door. Both towers.
25,19 Hospital feels like it needs some work and room definition update. No med supplies?
25,19 Warehouse just SW of water towers has a door but is also a wall. Maybe remove the door so its locked and requires sledge entry? Also maybe add more crates?
26,21 Cant go up the stairs to the cargo ship
26,21 Room in the middle of the cargo ship on ground floor has a door that also is a wall behind it

Nice looking real fine, can't wait to explore it

Replaced Ship with another Ship in Cell 26,21
 
Added entrance to ship also.

Maybe it's a sign that it is time to finally release the updated animation?
