Why weren't activists on Maidan called terrorists and were released from punishment for what they've done to Berkut then? They were burning down and killing them. Because Berkut are "murderers" and were beating up and shooting innocent people? Didn't you say it "isn't neccessary what they fight for if they are doing it wrong"? http://euroradio.fm/en/maidan-activists-released-are-called-dangerous-extremists
 
Why are people so blind sometimes and only notice things their media WANTS them to notice? I don't know which side you are on, Cdr. Keen, but your manner of "heating up" the arguements without doing much research isn't just "keeping the topic alive", it tends to annoy me. And I don't think peaceful debate should spark these emotions out of someone. So please, PLEASE, research a little before posting something as outrageous as this.

Answer (news from 02/05/2014): Activists, who raised the flag of Germany over the building of the FSB in Kaliningrad, were arrested.
Yes, 2 helicopters down. Rumors says that even three. Yes, about 50 people were dead in fire in Odessa after nationalists from "Right Sector" torched the building by Molotov Cocktails. All review in english here and especially (!) here. Survivors from this building were jailed as arsonist but already free.
Also there is dead in Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.
Aricane, Cdr.Keen. Did you read news about Ukraine from December 2013 till February 2014? Your messages says "no". Just compare old and present news:
30/11/2013 The United States condemns the use of force against demonstrators in Ukraine
20/02/2014 U.S. condemns violence in Ukraine in the most decisive form
...but...
02/05/2014 Obama and Merkel supprorts Kiev's doing
In December 2013 - February 2014 there were armed protest Middle Ukraine (Kiev) and Western Ukraine (pro-european and pro-u.s. rebels), there were illegal occupying of state buildings. In 22-25 February 2014 there were armed coup. President escaped from the country, it was an attempt to assassinate president and then junta declare themselves as government. Now people in Southern-Eastern Ukraine protests against junta and their nationalistic radicals (if you want to know what is Ukrainian radicals - see video with english subtitles in spoiler).
Aricane, in your case in example with Denmark the right will be: if in Denmark there were an armed coup and pro-Soviet-Russia forces declare themselves as government, and only after this regions of Denmark started arming themselves and protests against new "government".
Is it right to call the people, who protests against the illegal nazi-like government, terrorists?

What do you think the Ukranian government should do, when it's loosing ground to separatists? What would Russia do if it happened there The separatists seem to be in a hurry to manifest a anti-ukranian public oppinion. Why don't they just use their democratic vote and vote for someone who isn't ultranational.

Heya fellow survivors!
 
I bring to you, a blueprint mod!
 
What is this?!
This mod simply adds blueprints to the game. Now you can make your own hammers, axes, pistols and more!
But it's not free of cause. Most importantly, you have to find the item you want to create a blueprint for first, then grab a piece of paper and a pen or pencil and start drawing the item on the paper
You also need to find metal and sticks in order to craft the tools and such.
 
Recipes
Recipes are as follows:
 
Blueprints:

 
Items:
 
So.. Where do I find this metal and sticks?
Good question.
Sticks are commonly found in bins and metal are mostly found in crates, sheds and metal shelves.
Metal Fragments are the most common, then Metal Bars and Lastly Metal Sheets being the most rare.
 
I have a suggestion for a change, balance or other?
Alright then, let me hear!
If you feel anything is overpowered, too common, too rare. Let me know.
Got an idea for a item you should be able to craft? Let me know!

This would be very, very helpful. I tried jumping off second story a couple of times, because I mistook the 1st story floor for 2nd story.

Yeah totally agree

I'm just going to throw this out there... I didn't think roof farming was a thing in game or in real life. I feel like you need a good amount of soil for the root system to grow properly.
 
On a more serious note, I can't wait for the Sadistic Director. I want it to be as though you have to have a constant watch on your walls to make sure they aren't weakening from zombies attacking them. I want it to be that if you have a safe house, that you have to maintain that safe house from being over run. I want to fall asleep listening to a zombie knocking at my door with it's head.
 
I think that will be what will get most people who sit in houses.

Sure. I'm really curious how Russia views this. I already know how the western angle on it and I can't believe there can be so big a difference on our perspective. Russia is not a western country, but I can't imagine it could be so much different from them. At the end, we're all people. I imagine Russians share the same dreams as any western citizen. Respect, security and freedom. I guess we all want governments and media we can trust - but even in that regard we are alike. So what is really fueling this divide? If we ignored our politicians and turned of our media, how long would it take to makes friends on either side? Maybe I'm just naive but I refuse to believe we're that different.
I can understand Russian values does not approve homosexuality. Well 20-40 years ago most western countries didn't either. So how can we not understand and respect those values.

Yeah it sounds good, NH could indeed survive forever, hell without zombies respawning and repopulating the local area you could have left a baby outside the walls at midnight and it would have been safe.
 
If you do make a permanent base it should at the very least have some challenges of its own, like the rats, like sickness, like attracting hoards, bandits. Stuff like that.
 
Oh and Ari, *siege

Hmm... I wonder who could make something as brilliant as that...?

Heya peeps,
 
So, we've worked on a new cooking system, trying to make it more user friendly, much more realistic and cool.
 
Please bear in mind that it'll be in test and numbers may be tweaked ! It'll probably be in test in the next update...
 
                           
 
1) The new recipes !
 
Let me introduce the new "evolved recipe", let's have an example (brace yourself, you'll have a tons of example in this post !) :
 

Spoiler module Base{    evolvedrecipe Soup    {        BaseItem:WaterPot,        MaxItems:6,        ResultItem:PotOfSoup,        Cookable:true,  }}
 
How to add an item for a recipe ?
Example of Chicken (directly in items.txt) :

Spoiler item Chicken    {        HungerChange    =    -40,        Weight    =    0.3,        Type    =    Food,        IsCookable    =    TRUE,        DangerousUncooked    =    TRUE,        DaysTotallyRotten    =    4,        MinutesToBurn    =    60,        DisplayName    =    Chicken,        Icon    =    Chicken,        DaysFresh    =    2,        MinutesToCook    =    30,        EvolvedRecipe = Soup:15;Stew:15;Pie:10;Pan Fried Vegetables:10;Sandwich:5|Cooked,    }
 
What does this mean ?
 
Now to make a soup, you'll need a water pot, and at least one of the ingredient in the list, so yeah, it look like the same ol' recipe... But, as you can see, there's more than that in this recipe, some ":10", ":15" etc. This mean that we gonna take only the number for hunger reduction, let me explain :
 
To create recipe/add ingredients, just right click on the base item (Water pot or Pot of soup)
I create the soup with some Chicken, the chicken item say Soup:15, I'm creating the soup and it'll be a soup with 15 hunger reduction, while my Chicken will have -15 hunger reduction, meaning I can add more than 1 time Chicken (Chicken have 40 base hunger reduction).
 
Then I could add some carrots in my soup, etc. As you probably saw, there's a limit of 6 ingredients in this soup.
 
You can also add a "Cookable" in the recipe, meaning the recipe can be cook.
But also ask for a ingredient to be cooked before being added (think about a chicken sandwich, you won't cook the sandwich, but the chicken need to be cook), like this :
EvolvedRecipe = Sandwich:5|Cooked,
Please note that even if you have a Chicken with only 5 hunger reduction left, you can still use it (but will only use 5 hunger reduction for the recipe, and count as 1 ingredient).
 
2) Bonus, bonus, BONUS !
 
We all love numbers ! (do we ?) So let's have a look at bonus for your recipe.
 
Everytime you add 1 item, you'll add the hunger reduction + some hapiness/boredom reduction (5 per items), exepct if you're adding more than 1 time the same item, you won't have a hapiness/boredom reduction, and more than 2 times, you'll start to have malus in this properties, have an example ! :
- Create soup from Chicken = Soup with 15 hunger reduction, +5 hapiness/boredom reduction.- Add Chicken = Soup with 30 hunger reduction, +0 hapiness/boredom reduction.- Add Chicken = Soup with 45 hunger reduction, -5 hapiness/boredom reduction.- Add Chicken = Soup with 60 hunger reduction, -10 hapiness/boredom reduction.etc.But don't think that adding 6 differents ingredients will give you 6*5 hapiness/boredom reduction ! It depend on cooking skill, a better chef will be able to add more ingredient and mix them well, so every cooking level will allow you to add 1 more ingredient without a hapiness/boredom malus, another example ! :
Level 0 cooking :- Create soup from Chicken = Soup with 15 hunger reduction, +5 hapiness/boredom reduction.- Add Carrots = Soup with 30 hunger reduction, +10 hapiness/boredom reduction.- Add Broccoli = Soup with 45 hunger reduction, +5 hapiness/boredom reduction.- Add Leek = Soup with 60 hunger reduction, +0 hapiness/boredom reduction. Level 2 Cooking :- Create soup from Chicken = Soup with 15 hunger reduction, +5 hapiness/boredom reduction.- Add Carrots = Soup with 30 hunger reduction, +10 hapiness/boredom reduction.- Add Broccoli = Soup with 45 hunger reduction, +15 hapiness/boredom reduction.- Add Leek = Soup with 60 hunger reduction, +20 hapiness/boredom reduction.etc.Level 2 cooking mean I can add 2 more ingredients and still have the hapiness/boredom reduction bonus.
PLEASE NOTE : The cooking level WON'T influence the hunger reduction ! Only the hapiness/boredom reduction.
 
3) What's the difference between a good chef, and a bad one... ?
 
So, if cooking skill doesn't infgluence the hunger reduction of the recipe, how does it works ?
It'll reduce the used hunger reduction of the base item, ooook, another example because I'm sure you love them :
Level 0 Cooking :- I create soup from Chicken, meaning my Chicken will have : 40 - 15 hunger reduction = a chicken with 25 hunger reduction.Level 2 Cooking :- I create soup from Chicken, meaning my Chicken will have : 40 - (15 - 10%) hunger reduction = a chicken with 26.5 hunger reduction.This mean I can use more time my Chicken !
 
Cooking skill will also influence the time to add ingredient in your recipe.
 
You'll also gain 2 xp per ingredients added.
 
4) Rotten Food ? NOT ANYMORE !
 
Erk. Yes, you can now use rotten food in your recipe... That's... Disgusting...
You first need to be at least level 4 in cooking, if you have a rotten ingredient in your inventory, at level 4 you can use 5% of his hunger reduction, and 10% at level 5, let's have an example :
Im level 5 cooking and have a rotten Chicken (40 base hunger reduction), I add it in my recipe :
- Create soup from rotten chicken : Soup with (10% of 40) = 4 hunger reduction (and Chicken totally consummed)
That's maybe not a lot, but still can use any rotten food in your recipe !
 
Reality explanation : "A skilled chef has managed to cut away the parts which are still fine and used them." -Andy.
 
Geez, I have to add more quote, they look awesome...
 
5) Get a spicy day !
 
You can also add salt and pepper to your recipe, it will not count as ingredient but add a slight hapiness/boredom reduction bonus, you can only add 1 unit of each spices in your recipe.
Spice can be Salt and Pepper (for almost all recipe), Ketchup and Mayonnaise for some other recipe (sandwich, burger..).
 
6) Excuse me sir, want some bleach with your soup ?
 
Once you have at least 3 ingredients in your recipe, you can add Poison inside your food, to poison your fellows "mate".
The poison can be detected by them though, each poison have a detection level (bleach is quite normal, poison ivy is low...) and a poison power, here's some example :
 
Bleach : Detection level 7, Poison power 40, Dose of bleach per use : 15 (the Bleach have 60 thirst reduction, meaning 4 dose total)
- I'm a level 3 chef.- I add Bleach inside my recipe, Detection level = 7 - 3(my cooking lvl) = 4 -> Meaning you need to be at least lvl 1 cooking to notice it.- Poison power is now 10.- I add Bleach again, Detection level is now 4 + (7-3) = 8, but capped to 5 (meaning ANYONE can detect it's poison !)- Poison power is now 20 though.So, what does this poison power thing mean ?
Once you have been poisoned by food, you'll start to get some pain (after 20min ~), after some time being sick (around 1h30-2h30, depend on the strength of the poison) and start to lose health, you can try to eat a lot to counter this effect.
A power of 20 won't kill you, but will let you with really low health ! And you'll need some time to fully recover.
A power of 30 will kill you, even if you manage to eat well.
 
Here's the icon when you detect a poisoned food (may be not the final one) :

 
7) That's cool, but if I want to make custom recipe... ?
 
Oh, first of all thanks for saying it's cool.
Once you added at least 3 ingredients, you can rename your recipe ! Make it your very own, just right click on it and select "Rename *insert food name*.
Transform your Soup into a Mighty Soup of Awesomness + 50 !
 
8) Planned recipes !
 
Here's some example we have in game :
Soup Stew Sandwich (cold) Burger Pie (Fish Pie, hell yeah UK boys !) Cake Pan Fried vegetables Salads  
9) Soooo, is it over... ?
 
NO KIND SIR ! More things are planned (probably done tomorrow, I was just too excited to not post this now...), like :
Use of "bad food" (like dog food, dead rat...), a good chef could "hide" their smell and so make good food from them.
Add "unique recipe" for example creating a hot sandwich, add meat patty, salad, tomato, pickles, ketchup and it'll become a "Burger" with a slight bonus in his stats... (or a malus if you dare making a Fish pie... (actually kidding... It'll add a bonus if you're from UK only ))
Add sleeping pills, broken glass, etc. as poison.
Add a Chef profession..
...
 
Remember we're always open for suggestion !

A series of protests in eastern Ukraine does not start coincidential. It was orchestret and very well prepared. Just like on the maidan. The question is not wether someone is behind it or not. The question is who. Right now everyone seems to be pointing at Russia. Either way Putin wil risc coming out as weak. If he did not support the rebels, he did an awful job proving that. If he did - he did a even more awful hiding it. Right now he swears Russia has nothing to do with it. Oh my god.
 
The west are far, far better at lying than Russia - that is very obvious.

If this is really true, it's insane how different the east/west perspectives on it is. In western media Crimea has been invaded by Russia. According to the press and several quoted western experts Crimera is lost to Russia and Ukraine will never get it back. Putin wants Crimera because he and all Russians believe that if people speak Russian, then it's Russian territory. Indeed some western politician compares Putins rethoric with Hitlers, when Hitler started condemning Jews as Putin condemns homosexuals.
 
I think the west needs to accept, that they have no clue on how Russians see things, and just believe that Russia has friendly and peaceful intentions.
 
Here's a sum-up of things that doesn't make sense
The west acknowledges the new Ukranian government despite it is technically illegimate. The west holds constitutions very dear, yet apparently not. When the egyptian military couped the Muslim Brotherhood despite they were elected by the people, the west didn't condemn the coup. Putin denies having sent troops to Crimera. The soldiers country marks have been removed. Why is that? Why is the estimated 30.000 troops necessary to maintain peace in Crimera? Why does the EU think it can just send military observators into Crimera, as if EU is elevated beyond the conflict. Why does demonstrators attempting to breach police barricades near the government building in Donetsk wave Russian flags when they should be waving Ukranian flags? This makes the so-called brotherhood between Russia and Ukraine look a bit assumed. It does look a little orchestrated to me. I'm glad the US has such a "weak" president. Things could escalate very quickly and badly if the previous president was still in office.
 
I think there's a massive canyon between the perspective of things. In our age of technology it would astound me if such a canyon can even exists. Then again. I've sometimes wondered why I never really hear much about what is going on in Russia. I often hear about events and trends from EU and USA, even the Middle East, Afrika and some parts of Asia.
 
Russia I know nothing about. It's a huge country, many people. Yet it is as if nothing ever really happens there.

Yes, yes. The joy of killing people while they show peaceful intention. I support it!

Hello
I never got around posting this mod on the new forum. It's a silencer for a pistol - but not just any silencer. It's also your pillow! Just as you though pillows where dog gone useless in survival, you actually have something that will silence your gun.
Hold a pillow as your secondary weapon and it will silence your gun, but not forever. It will last 5-15 shots until the pillow is completly torned.

Download it from pz-mods.net (pz-mods.net is a top secret procrastinating project for hosting my mod I'm currently working on - which was before I discovered xeno-mods.net .. duh, now I'll make tutorials there instead .. well more about that later.)

Features
Is not a recipe - holding a pillow as secondary will silence your gun Each shot decreases the pillows ability to reduce noise. Lasts 5-15 shots until pillow is torned Silenced gun shot sounds included No editing needed! It's very good for clearing rooms and hallways without getting other zombies attention.
 
Installation
Installing the pillowsilencer is as always - extract the contents of pillowsilencer.zip in your project zomboid folder

Changelog
Version 1.0
Fixed first shot being entirely silent (ie. not affect zombies) Pillow is replaced by RippedSheets when completely torned Fire max range reduced significantly Feedback and suggestions are really appreciated 

Have fun!!
