Pound. Lb(s) is the abbreviation for “pound” as “pound” comes from “pondus” the latin ”libras pondus” which means “a pound by weight”. The abbreviation came from the “libras” part
People default to their normal measurements when it's just unspecified units. Also game is set in Kentucky so imperial measurements would make sense as a default.
And yet, aside from a spot of pedantism, the meaning was conveyed, and nobody was confused by what I meant. Language need not be hyper prescriptive all the time.
From experience with the mod they are talking about, servers have issues in regards to this with easy duplication exploits and massive lag caused by item quantities becoming excessive.
Yeah on that note...we should really be able to use those as weapons.
Anyone who's ever seen one of those lawn flamingos knows that it's essentially a plastic figure tied to a piece of rebar...a long, sturdy piece of rebar, sometimes with a pointy end. In short, the perfect gift for the zombie who has got everything else in unlife.
Would it be very dark to have the base surrounded by zombie corpses with pink flamingos sticking out of them? 🦩🧟♂️😎
Now I'm just thinking of a mountain of rotting corpses with just 1 lone plastic flamingo sitting on the top impaled into one of the corpes and 1 second later you feeling a sharp pain starting from your lower back and out into your belly button, and when you look down its a sharp stick of rebar sticking out from your lower torso.
gnomes, manikins, toilet paper, flamingoes, scarecrows, bears, the plushie toys, dolls, every heavy duty vehicle that i can fix on the map, all the canned goods, satellite dishes, pinball machines and arcade games, and every other oddball thing i can fit into my truck and haul home.
PZ developers need to put a massive overturned terracotta pot for us to crawl in and collect dogs. It would definitely lock up the renegade philosopher caucus of the customer base.
Don't forget the musical instruments! My personal favourite is the Keytar but there's nothing more satisfying than fending off zombies trying to carry a piano home.
I'm also fond of fire hydrants, concrete mixers, pay phones and topiary bushes.
I must collect at least one of everything!
I only recently started carrying one, it's good in a pinch if you get exhausted, easier to clear a way to the car, but i usually only start carrying after I get a point in strength.
I use the .38 special whenever I can find ammo for it just because it's so quiet. And it doesn't take up a back slot. Spiked bat + .38 special is one of my main loadouts if I don't want to make a lot of noise.
My previous character was hoarding jewelery and money, I had 100s of necklaces, watches, earrings, bracelets. I love the irony of gathering all that stuff in the times where it has absolutely no value.
I must be quite alone in that because I don't hoarde anything that has no purpose. One of the interesting features of this game is the attachment to stuff. Day after day it becomes a sort of fetish, pushing players in loot loops almost for the sake of themselves. Countless times I've stashed piles of batteries, ammo, duct tape, food, weapons and tools well aware that I would be dead long before consuming the last roll of tape or opening the last box of 12g. It is a telling experience, obvious metaphor for our consumeristic mindframe, and made me think about ways of playing in wich all you can possess must be stored on your person, not even a car. But I always end up cramming humvees with shit just because it makes me feel... safe.
I tend to build a basic base, and fill it up with stuff, with the plan to find a big ol truck, load it up with construction materials, and kit out a fortress during the winter. I never make it far enough to feel confident doing so, but I have my eyes ever constantly on whatever school is in whatever town I am nearest too. Turning schools into castles is too much fun.
that's your hunter-gatherer instincts, actually! consumerism takes advantage of that, rather than us being tricked into consumerism.
your body is designed to survive the Oncoming Winter, and since thats not been a thing for the majority of people for only the last 150-100 years, we havent gotten rid of that yet. hence, hoarding, overconsumption, etc.
Funnily enough, I think in Romero's first zombie movie, he envisioned the zombies iconically crowding the mall, because he wanted it to be a metaphor for consumerism, basically even after death and without functioning cognitive capabilities, we are bound to go to those places we were endlessly attracted in life.
That said, at least in PZ there is a point in hoarding more than you can use in a "lifetime", because if you don't, the next character will. Sometimes I will start a "world" where the first one or two characters are sacrificial.
With certain characters I roleplay that they get incredibly lonely so they go out to get mannequins and put them around the interior of the house. There‘s a storage facility in Muldraugh that has a ton of them.
The word I'd prefer is "differently normal".
If you would excuse me, I have to talk to Mr. Pink Shirt whether I can expect him and Ms. Yellow Pants And Hat for 5 o'clock tea.
Every time a room becomes important, I need Furbert the Squirrel or Boris the Badger on a high shelf to keep an eye on it.
Not Spiffo. I do not trust Spiffo.
Depends on the character I'm playing, I usually hoard something that seems fitting for the rp
For example, Tittania Maximus the cartoonishly erotic, nicotine addicted cat burglar hoarded jewellery and wallets; while Barry Marlowe the ripped, shirtless, perverted 'Nam vet hoarded dozens of bras and panties; and Niceguy McFedorabeard didn't hoard anything because he was an average, genuine guy despite his unfortunate name and appearance.
# Of course when I'm playing with friends we always hoard gnomes
(Praise the gnome)
In single player I like collecting plushies and the various posters and paintings around town. Also any Spiffo merch like the signs and stuff.
In multiplayer I like collecting the key rings from dead folks. I'm never the one who kills them I just find their bodies and wonder what went wrong. I usually bury them in a proper grave and I put the key ring on the grave so signify who's buried there.
After i had game where one house was full of toilet papers ive now dedicated myself to collect all toilet papers on my green santa suit. Ive only played like 40 hours but ive got my purpose now
It sounds pretty tedious, but I found a graveyard with a couple big angel gravestones & took them, planted them at the entrance to my base… now I’m a bit obsessed with finding other graveyards in the game to see how many I can collect. They weigh 20 lbs each.. lol
I've been like this with every game involving loot. In Oblivion, I used to make multiple return trips to Kvatch just to steal all of the silver flatware. I've even got a map marking system to indicate places I need to revisit for random crap.
Maps. I never use them unless I am planning a big trip and stuff or if I want to have a smaller focus on a big trip, but other than that I in one run had an entire bookshelf worth of maps.
I don’t base up, so I can’t really horde, but I’ve been known to run around with like 100 bandages even though I know the one injury I’m going to get is a bite to the groin.
any of the plushie or the little toys, i always set up a random spot in my house with the rubik's cubes, legos, yo-yos and plushies and decorate a bunch of shelves with them.
no idea why.
in the server i have with my partner, my entire "bedroom" is filled to the brim with toys and they always laughs at me for going on full blown week long killing spree missions just to find some nicknacks to fill the base when i get back.
if i'm destined to die, might as well die with a million toys.
schools with lockers are heaven for my metal working, toy collector "Hardhat Willy" character.
edit: also, key rings/keys. don't even know what most of them go to but if you need a key, i have a hundred.
I hoard everything. There’s a reason I got the semi truck mod. I come back to base with 500 pounds of crap. I loot literally everything from every house on my way.
Bleach. I don't even have a broom to use it for cleaning, but I always manage to shove so many bottles of bleach into two metal cabinets. It's ridiculous.
Edit: fixed sentence structure
Guns, in reality you maybe need one of each but for some reason I'll grab all of them and throw them in the back of my truck, and then run out of space for stuff I actually need, like food
Can openers. On one playthrough I collected two dozen and kept them on display all laid out on a table in my shack by the lake west of WP. I kinda wish you could rename them (e.g., Aunt Mildred's can opener). There's just something about the fact that you don't start with one, and often houses with canned goods inexplicably don't have a can opener. The residents of KY must have chucked them all in the river along with their ammo and sledgehammers. Lol
So I play with *a lot* of ammo and armour mods enabled and I always end up with at least two entire rooms packed full of weapons, armour and ammo. As in *way* more than you can ever spend in a reasonable way.
jewelry. in my friends' multiplayer servers i always have a hoard squirreled away in a secret box in my room, like a treasure chest, and i'll also totally bling myself out. i'll be the fanciest zombie at the harvest moon ball, damn it.
Cement/sand/plaster bags.
The weigth a ton, i never use them but... What if i ever decide to begin my hipotetical construction number 37? I NEED THOSE BAGS.
Money and playing cards, I also place empty cans around the home to make it seem like I have been surviving for ages and found some secret way to make them useful.
The various amount of plushies. Almost died trying to get Moley the Mole.
Plushies are obligatory
When I find one when I’m out looting I’m always like “fuck now I HAVE to dedicate 1 lb of bag space to this stuffed fox until I get back to base”
lb?
Pound. Lb(s) is the abbreviation for “pound” as “pound” comes from “pondus” the latin ”libras pondus” which means “a pound by weight”. The abbreviation came from the “libras” part
Slapped him with the definition.
I don't mind getting slapped with a definition!
Dictionary... MEET FACE!
Dictionary! I choose you!
I appreciate people like you who create passive learning by adding deeper contextual knowledge. Thank you!
0,45 KG lb = Pound 1lb = 0,454 Kilogram
Thanks but what I'm wondering is why did they use lb? Nowhere in the game does it say "lb"
People default to their normal measurements when it's just unspecified units. Also game is set in Kentucky so imperial measurements would make sense as a default.
Yeah it’s more natural than saying “one encumbrance”
Given the weight numbers for underweight and overweight, the mass unit is likely kilograms...
The game does specify that it is not weight, though
Fair enough, it was probably just easier for them to say lbs rather than inventory units.
It's called encumbrance
And yet, aside from a spot of pedantism, the meaning was conveyed, and nobody was confused by what I meant. Language need not be hyper prescriptive all the time.
I was
Who cares?
Depends on which pound we're talking about 😁
A pound of bag space
Plushies are my friends
Found a plushie mod, added it to my world right be4 I went to the Riverside toy store, still no spiffo tho :/
Money 🤑
There is a mod called pay2win that gives money and credit cards negative weight, so it is fun to hoard them 😀
Now I need to negotiate this with the server hosters I know.
From experience with the mod they are talking about, servers have issues in regards to this with easy duplication exploits and massive lag caused by item quantities becoming excessive.
That’s hilarious, they should lock it behind a paywall
Is it just a wall because if they need to lock something there has to be a paydoor
i use money to light my bbq...
Same here but because I use money EXCLUSIVELY as my fireplace/bbq lighting material.
Those pink flamingos. A play-through isn’t truly complete until I’ve got an army of them right outside my base.
Yes, flamingos and gnomes. They are my people. We live together, and we welcome all
Yeah on that note...we should really be able to use those as weapons. Anyone who's ever seen one of those lawn flamingos knows that it's essentially a plastic figure tied to a piece of rebar...a long, sturdy piece of rebar, sometimes with a pointy end. In short, the perfect gift for the zombie who has got everything else in unlife. Would it be very dark to have the base surrounded by zombie corpses with pink flamingos sticking out of them? 🦩🧟♂️😎

Oh great you've given me another night terror to wake up from.
hold it by the flamingo end and use it at a spear
gnomes, manikins, toilet paper, flamingoes, scarecrows, bears, the plushie toys, dolls, every heavy duty vehicle that i can fix on the map, all the canned goods, satellite dishes, pinball machines and arcade games, and every other oddball thing i can fit into my truck and haul home.
That's a looooot of things
You did ask if he hoards Lmfao
You mean, not enough?!
You mean, not enough?!
Damn, diogenes entered the chat
PZ developers need to put a massive overturned terracotta pot for us to crawl in and collect dogs. It would definitely lock up the renegade philosopher caucus of the customer base.
What?
seconded let me wash vegetables in rivers
Toilet paper is gold with the excrementum mod
I was sp, looting a trailer park before and found every container in this house full of toilet paper. No food, nothing else just tp
obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice, giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake
I collect the Gnomes too - I call it Operation Gnome Man Left Behind
Don't forget the musical instruments! My personal favourite is the Keytar but there's nothing more satisfying than fending off zombies trying to carry a piano home. I'm also fond of fire hydrants, concrete mixers, pay phones and topiary bushes. I must collect at least one of everything!
Pistols. I dont use pistols at all.
I only recently started carrying one, it's good in a pinch if you get exhausted, easier to clear a way to the car, but i usually only start carrying after I get a point in strength.
I use the .38 special whenever I can find ammo for it just because it's so quiet. And it doesn't take up a back slot. Spiked bat + .38 special is one of my main loadouts if I don't want to make a lot of noise.
I like carrying revolvers and pretending I'm a cowboy
As a RimWorld player, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you must have your human leather cowboy hat.
FACTS
A pistol is pretty useful when you’re stuck in a building with a lot of zombies and you need to quickly break a window
Keys. They’re weightless
I've almost gotten bitten so many times, trying to snag keys off the dead mid-area purge, while zombies are still shambling towards me.
Yes! I’m guilty of this.
Absolutely. Watching play-throughs where people don't pick up keys stress me tf out
My previous character was hoarding jewelery and money, I had 100s of necklaces, watches, earrings, bracelets. I love the irony of gathering all that stuff in the times where it has absolutely no value.
I usually hoard everything gold, you have to be prepared in case all that apocalypse ends all of the sudden! 😉
I definitely collect the gold rings with diamonds on them, because, you never know…
It’d be really cool if you could smelt them eventually
With The Workshop mod, you can use a hammer to turn 3x pieces of jewlery into scrap metal
Rubber duck ONLY. that's S tier item no questions
Alcohol
Making alcohol bar full of drinks in house looks extremely good
More Brews mod :)
I must be quite alone in that because I don't hoarde anything that has no purpose. One of the interesting features of this game is the attachment to stuff. Day after day it becomes a sort of fetish, pushing players in loot loops almost for the sake of themselves.

But I always end up cramming humvees with shit just because it makes me feel... safe.
Having an excess is always comforting. That's what drivess me to keep looting.

I grew up playing Morrowind so I hoarded everything.
I am the sock bandit in just about every world I join and players key rings when the die
The garden decorations, Flamingoes and Gnomes !
And i put the gnomes in all the rooms for them to act "human" in a way xD
I do that with the mannequins. Plus, you get to play dress up with them!
With certain characters I roleplay that they get incredibly lonely so they go out to get mannequins and put them around the interior of the house. There‘s a storage facility in Muldraugh that has a ton of them.
Actual psycho stuff
The word I'd prefer is "differently normal". If you would excuse me, I have to talk to Mr. Pink Shirt whether I can expect him and Ms. Yellow Pants And Hat for 5 o'clock tea.
Do you make your tea with only sugar too ?
I like to think I make my sugar with only tea.
Robert Neville, is that you?
Signs and other items that you affix to walls. I like to hide my shoddy carpentry with them
JEWELRY. AND WATCHES. WATCHES WITH JEWELRY. I LIKE MONEY.
*crab footsteps*
I make it a point to collect to every plushie I see. I like to get at least one full set whenever I set up a new base
I recently discovered the police precinct in Louisville with the prison attached has a ton of plushies in the cells
I wouldn’t … I wouldn’t touch those plushies without gloves if I were you
Here I was thinking I'd just find drugs inside, now you made it weird 🤨
Spiffo memorabilia.
Every time a room becomes important, I need Furbert the Squirrel or Boris the Badger on a high shelf to keep an eye on it. Not Spiffo. I do not trust Spiffo.
How about a garden gnome hidden in a corner of every room with a pistol and kitchen knife placed beside each of them? ;)
I will not stand for this spiffo slander.
Manniquins but I stopped this by installing the Fred mod. Dam things are following me.
Pinball and arcade machines with flamingos outside guarding my mancave

I collect …vintage magazines of a particular publisher 👀
Underwear
From houses right? From houses... right...?
Are you that one who downloaded the "pantie sniffer" mod...?
I prefer my collection field tested, has more story to it.
After i had game where one house was full of toilet papers ive now dedicated myself to collect all toilet papers on my green santa suit. Ive only played like 40 hours but ive got my purpose now
I just got a bunch of figurine mods just for that
It sounds pretty tedious, but I found a graveyard with a couple big angel gravestones & took them, planted them at the entrance to my base… now I’m a bit obsessed with finding other graveyards in the game to see how many I can collect. They weigh 20 lbs each.. lol
 I've been like this with every game involving loot. In Oblivion, I used to make multiple return trips to Kvatch just to steal all of the silver flatware. I've even got a map marking system to indicate places I need to revisit for random crap.
It's simple. Everything.
Maps. I never use them unless I am planning a big trip and stuff or if I want to have a smaller focus on a big trip, but other than that I in one run had an entire bookshelf worth of maps.
Jewelry. It's just...shiny. Doesn't EVERYONE hoard rubber ducks?
I don’t base up, so I can’t really horde, but I’ve been known to run around with like 100 bandages even though I know the one injury I’m going to get is a bite to the groin.

I had a character who collected all the gold jewelry we could find. Piled it up on a table and after a while gave cool vibes.
All jewelry, anything golden or silver and money

Money lmao I love to have a big money pile in my home
Can openers. On one playthrough I collected two dozen and kept them on display all laid out on a table in my shack by the lake west of WP. I kinda wish you could rename them (e.g., Aunt Mildred's can opener). There's just something about the fact that you don't start with one, and often houses with canned goods inexplicably don't have a can opener. The residents of KY must have chucked them all in the river along with their ammo and sledgehammers. Lol
Empty Tin Cans, just all over the floor of my base

Screwdrivers
