Hm interesting that means you have to trap besides farm after a while to survive.

Damn this reminds me of Dead Island. (horrible game but it looked great.) edit: that sounds less nice than it's meant

Or drag some dirt to the roof and farm from there. ^^

You are right. It would be unrealistic. I haven't read the last 5 pages. Just trying to think of stuff to keep cars in check. Whether there should be cars or not isn't really the question, it's about how they should be implemented.

It all depends on the future of the game. What I would like to see is this: a map the size of an American state, one big city a few small towns and deserts/forests/mountains/lakes. This map would be so big you big you could actually use cars. 90% cars should be broken down (maybe get a repair skill?) and gasoline should be sparse. A lot of roads should be blocked by debris/other cars and if you run over zombies you're car will break down very fast (5-10 zombies?) Also a lot of cars should have alarms. In general cars should be there so that their main purpose is to cover great distances, not to be GTA killing machines or something. Atm with the 4 maps available cars aren't needed. Then again if you complain about the game becoming an unrealistic GTA clone with cars I wonder how realistic a carless world is.

Yeah that's true. The building I chose is a kind of small motel. It's a rectangle with an opening in one of the longer sides. I'm boarding all the firstfloor windows, got 2 ropes through 2nd floor windows and made 2 walls in the 'gate' part of the motel. I cleared the area. I have everything I need, including 5000+ nails. No challenge anymore. Maybe there should just be a lot more zombies but with a buffed version of sneaking (and crouching). It's often too easy to systematically take zombies out one or two at a time. On the other hand if you play with larger amounts of zombies it's probably a bit too hard because sneaking is so worthless lvl1 and you can't hide behind stuff.

The most important thing about a possible safehouse is how it looks now and what you can build of it. edit: I usually use temporary safe houses until I got all the stuff I need. Then take an awesome looking building (lot of those on Bedford falls).

When I google it I only find mp server stuff not SP related stuff. No clue to look in the steamaps/pz file either.

True. But yeah, in MP you currently have 1 spawnpoint and trust me, the area will be stripped within hours . Sp also has only one spawnpoint afaik. I read that you can change the server settings for MP to choose a different spawn. Dunno if it's possible for SP but that would be really nice because in SP atm it's too easy.

If I may give a point of critique: I spawned in the north 2 times in a row (dunno if that's the only spawn or not) and got 5+axes, 5+saws, a gardening tool, 5+ hammers and 2300 and 800 nails in both saves. I found ALL of this in the area south of the spawn close to the bank (that gave me 3 shotguns and 200+ shotgun bullets). Way too easy at this stage of the game.

In steam I don't see a: iwillbackupmysave build in properties>betas. Should I use 25.b? edit: I don't understand what to do. Do I put the whole map 'media' in the zomboid folder or just the 2 maps inside it (Lua, Maps). I still spawn on Muldraugh atm. edit: nm I got it lol

If I burn down a house will it attract zombies?

1 month 4 days. First time I got to build stuff too. I was on the normal map, can't remember the name (Murlaugh?) spawned in one of the suburbs, 1 zombie per 4 houses so really quiet. I took the medical centre because it has a kitched on the top floor, boarded the bottom floor, made a sheet rope. Then started to wall off and farm, I had everything I needed, had only one half of the wall done but it was so quiet that wasn't a problem. Then one morning I leave the house, get stuck in the window, glitch in the wall and die. I gasped. On a sidenote compared when I play West point it's always supercrowded EVERYWHERE, when i play the vanilla map it's super quiet. I would've broken my keyboard for sure lol./
