no mods/new world: persisting issue (also tried it out with mods showing damage)
When zombies are jumping ("rolling"?) over a fence and a player attacks them during this animation, sometimes the player "pushes" and kills the zombie. This seems to be a "normal" attack based on damage, but the animation is the typically non-lethal "push" animation.
This amount of data, even for me, as person who likes a lot of scientific data and going through it, is a bit too much 😆
I'm glad you had chance to have look at it. I thought that I did nothing, because logs weren't actually helpful (from my perspective, there's even nothing about HealthCheck), however landing ARF in B42.19, I think that's gamechanger for you guys, as developers, becasuse Zomboid is actually game which is built around actions, a lots of it, so now you guys have straight vision into what player does or doesn't in any point of time.
I was actually a bit scared to continue using it, I thought it was broken, because suddenly my console was full of output, and then I saw a lots of files. However from what you tell me, I can guess it's working very good 😉
Just, I was curious, because when I ended doing ARF recording, console was still spammed with some logs. However I don't think that's big issue 😊
Thank you very much guys for your time and this game ♥
This is not a dig on any particular person, this is a dig at the whole team and their apparent disinterest in keeping players informed. Blog posts mostly tell us what's happening, not why.
Y'all need someone who will interact with community questions and suggestions, AND knows exactly what's going on inside the game to be able to explain why things are the way that they are.
I've been getting spoiled by Everything is Crab recently. Their community manager is incredibly active and makes a real effort to explain balancing decisions, content decisions, etc to most questions that I see. Sometimes a dev is pinged or just hops in to explain better, or just to look at a good suggestion. For example: Someone gives some feedback, and a CM takes the effort to come in and say "those are some pretty good suggestions, ty". This guy is in every feedback post actually discussing game mechanics with players.
THIS is the kind of transparency that you desperately need. Without it the players don't feel like they're being heard, they see changes that they think are dumb and will never understand why it was made. How can someone make a good suggestion if they don't even know why things are balanced the way they are?
Because MY suggestion would be to reverse the ridiculous occupation and trait changes, add more traits, and for the love of god, stop nerfing things 300% at a time. Nerf things SLOWLY AND GRADUALLY until you hit the sweet spot. Stop with the bullshit "oh, this trait is op, lets nerf it from +6 to +1 and make it even more punishing". Just stop, bring it down 1/2 points at a time. It's like noone who works on the game even plays the game. And quit shuffling trapper/tracker around to look like you're doing something, it's dumb. Give park ranger both. Give hunter both. Add more traits. give rancher it's +1 fit and give it back it's +1 aig. This is a single player game, not everything needs to have the fun balanced out of it- Etc etc you get the point.
And I can say all that because I don't know what's going on and what people are thinking. That's how things seem to me (and to a lot of other players, given the largely negative feedback to recent updates that I've seen) You leave a ton of people incredibly frustrated when they don't know what's going on. I want to love zomboid so badly but all I see are stupid changes that I don't know the reasoning for.

Mods: none that should have any relation to disassembly
Rightclick a wall clock on the wall: you will get the option to disassemble.
Instead of disassembly, take the clock from the wall.
Rightclick on it within the inventory: no option to disassemble is given; however, I can "install the furniture"?
Same with any lamp (Grey/Blue/Red Lamp, TVs) - Radios do work though. Not sure if there is a bigger systematic underlying cause?
