This is on the confirmed "No" list for the game and has been discussed quite a bit in the past.
What if there was a mod for it? Would the devs try and shut it down?
-
wouldn´t that go against zombie lore ?
a zombie does not eat to susatin, but out of instinct.
it also feeds on living, fresh meat.
they also seem to be able to distinguish between zombie carcass and not infected carcass.
so: laying a trap with a living, but shackeld npc: yes
laying a trap with a shackled and shot body of an npc: yes
laying a trap with a zombie body: no, wouldn´t work. don´t know why but wouldn´t
Vanilla zombie lore makes no sense at all.
The lore goes against rigor mortis.
Why are the dead reanimated?
Why would the dead need to eat?
The last time I checked zombies don't poop. Since they don't poop the flesh would just pile up in their body.
Why don't zombies eat other zombies? Why does it need a fresh corpse?
Why aren't zombies alerted by other zombies? Why can zombies make a bunch of moans, groans, pounding, etc. but a human's footsteps are filtered through all the noise.
Why do bites and scratches cause you to become a zombie? Is it virus or something?
Why do zombies only truly die from getting their brain destroyed? The brain is already dead and so is the rest of the body.
Why are zombies immune to rotting away to nothingness?
Vanilla zombie lore is boring and doesn't make sense. Infections are much more interesting like the cordyceps fungus in The Last of Us. The infected actually made sense and were the most realistic I've seen. You actually felt bad for them. They were deranged infected humans whose minds were being controls by a fungus inside their head. The infected were so well done that you could just look at their behavior and see a human in pain and suffering on inside.
With the lore that PZ follows it's just boring. Doesn't evoke any emotion at all. You're just killing zombie blah blah blahs.
But it's stated clear that PZ follows the romero lore. Just saying "it's dumb i want the last of us lore" because it's a more recent game is not going to do anything about it i guess. If you want to know more about these Kind of zombies, I would recommend the zombie survival guide. It's very much based on romero (not fully though) and one of the little selection of scientific approaches to the topic.
In Addition the brain is pretty much the only thing "alive" in a zombie, that's why destroying it is the only way
Look, the romero lore or survival guide lore or whatever the heck their following is just boring. The devs don't even try to be creative with the lore. They stick strictly to the boring nonsensical lore and never steer from it.
I'm not saying that they should add in The Last of Us lore. I'm just saying that they should be more creative with the lore. Why not make their own lore? Make something more fictionally realistic. Be creative, have some fun.
The original zombie lore is just boring and who gives a shart about the survival guide?
Some kids come up with a "survival guide" and suddenly it's official zombie lore.
I mean, I dunno man. PZ is fun game and I can see where the devs want to take it. But the way they throw away great ideas because they want to stick to the original zombie lore is just bad.
Also, why can zombies jump over fences? Why did they add it? The least they could do is make it so zombies have to break down a fence and the "lore friendly" settings for zombies aren't even realistic.

Wouldn't it make more sense to be growing fruits and veggies than whole trees?

I always threaten to use barbed wire but at 1 "roll" per tile it makes it very difficult to use it in mass and I end up hording it like an invaluable treasure.
Wow no wonder no one uses it.
-
I don't really see the point of them other than for cosmetics. Players and zombies can parkour over them like a normal fence so what's the point? I'd think barbed wire fences would stop or at least hurt those that try to jump over it. Sandbag seems like should be more of a barrier than a fence.
I've never really even used them so I dunno. It's much more efficient to build everything out of wood. There should be pros and cons to materials and the things you build so that people can make more diverse and interesting safehouses.

I'm having a blast on this server. Best. Server.
-
PMing instead.

It depends on the size of your 'package'...
Is this a sausage-fest?
Only until Oktober.
Who is your favorite forum member and why is it Rikashey?

yeah, body removal will be along when they can be sure it's exploit free. leaving a body in your house will have health implications in future builds.
Why do you put me on your ignore list then reply to my threads?
Edit: Aaaaand this also isn't a Support topic. Please don't post suggestions in support. Consider this a final verbal warning- use the forums the way they're meant to be used, please. Moved to suggestions.It is a support topic. Like I said, the bodies cause major lag and slowdown which is a technical issue. It's a problem that needs to be fixed. This thread could be in Suggestions but I felt this being more of a problem than a friendly suggestion to add bells and whistles to the game. I know that they're working on the lore friendly way to dispose of them but until then we shouldn't have to suffer from them bogging down our pcs.

We can delay resets a bit more and let the world runs for 4 or 5 days. Maybe only a reset per week, why not.
I'm not against that, debate is open. I'm just afraid that after some days there will be no zombies and no food, and while soft resets aren't working properly there is no other solution than hard reset.
Thank you.
Also, Build 25 v3 is out.

Why is the server reset so often?
I know you want newbies to have loot but damn all these resets over and over again in such a short time is just ridiculous.
At least make the resets once a week or something.
Once a week, then the "newbies" will have moved elsewhere.
I think there should be a time set everyday, example: 6pm for reset! Until you get a auto adding whitelist.
Then there's no point in the long term players to stay playing if their hard work gets reset and they constantly have to keep every single item on them.
Why build a safehouse? Why gather loot? Why do anything if at the end of the day it's all gone.
Having to constantly keep items on your character is frustrating and annoying. If some punk kid comes along and shoots you in the back then he'll take all your gear and your safehouse disappears at the end of day.
All for what? So some newbie can get an axe or shotty?
-
Nah, let the girl do whatever she finds amusing.
Do you even lift?
I actually do lift but not for big buff muscles.
3 days I work on strength and 2 days I work on cardio.
[serious] What are you truly afraid of?
-
The big problem with lag in multiplayer comes from all the mass amount of dead zombie bodies littering the streets. It bogs down my pc along with others. It's a major problem and I think there needs to be some sort of system in place that eliminates the bodies after time.
Please make it so that the game does it automatically. Give server admins the option to do it manually.
At least give us some sort of temporary fix until there is an in-game lore friendly way to do it.

The hard resets really screw things up.

Restarted server and changed a few options.
-No more starting axe.
Will be listening to feedback and changing some other things if I think enough folks want it so.
Server is now up and running. WIll be monitoring it and reviewing logs for the night.
Enjoy! And my apologies for the downtime.
How about a starting bat?
It doesn't last very long and it's a basic weapon.

No offense but I kinda don't trust this. Think I'll try another server or take a break from PZ till this is up and running normal again.
Hey deprav, did you ever get my bag notes that I left inside your safehouse?
You should really work on that sheet rope trap, bro.
I did a little remodeling while you were asleep. Hope you like it.

I also a large broadsword about 4.5 foot in length.
Hmm, let's see:
- 1 Scythe
- 1 Sickle
- 1 Dagger
- 1 Sword
I have slightly over 30 high quality swords
You guys must play alot of fantasy games.

Once you've beaten something and have done and seen everything you can really step back and see the game's flaws. Yes, i know the game isn't finished.
I'm not trying trying to be negative but being positive all the time about everything doesn't help either. If there's something that should be changed then it should be changed.
