Zomboid started as a Sims mod that has taken on its own world and systems. Imagine the Sims, but a zombie simulator with very detailed and in depth health and healing, food and drink cook, crafting, driving, etc.

They aren't wrong that it looks like the Sims, but that also doesn't make it easy or boring.

Same. The bane of my existence is that the few gamer friends I got only play online board games together, I need friends to play my co-op stuff with

I only have one friend who will really play with me, so I get what you mean. I added the NPC mod, and that helped a little, but damn nothing compares to having an actual group to play with.

Me too, over 1400 hours. I use a lot of mods. I take a break for a year or more at a time and then get hooked again. I'm trying to wait for the NPC update until I do again

I honestly didn’t expect to get this far. I’m hoping to make it to 100 next. After that maybe 150

The wait for build 42 is agonizing. I have major respect though for Indie Stone for keeping up on the game for all these years. I know the game gets occasionally bashed for being EA, but it feels like they care with each update (and the public roadmap to release helps too)

Oh yeah. You’re right. I guess I associate this with being 2D because of all the 2D sprites it uses

Idk if you’ve been following the game, but we’re about to get Build 42, which includes Weapon Forging, Skyscrapers, and Livestock. It’s really exciting.

It’s much better with friends imo. Me and the friend in this picture went to pick up a generator from an airstrip and it was forecast to snow. I crashed the car. So we were racing while dragging the generator for miles to get back to our base before it started snowing.

I’d love to get Server setup for my close friend group but I only have 1 friend who would play it regularly, and only 5 of them even own it. So that probably won’t be happening anytime soon.

I’ve been trying to take screenshots that are more interesting, so including things like NPCs and my friends I play with. The scenic shots look good but they aren’t really interesting to look at I feel like and I’ve noticed people seem to have a lot more fun with these when there’s a subject to them

I’ve done the same to my friend before, except I spawned in Louisville, so that was the end of that run for him (And me too). After that we always play with the guts camouflage mod so we at least have a fair chance to make it out if one of use fucks over the other.

I just personally prefer taking much more cinematic and landscape shots. It’s harder to get those with 2D. Though someone pointed out that Zomboid isn’t 2D, so I guess my point is kind of null and void now
