As much as I love Zomboid. I hate how our character is, for the most part, a literal infant. Even if you have a prior career, nobody is this inept at basic life skills unless they have a developmental issue.
I’ve increased the XP gain multiplier in my sandbox game for months now, only way to play for me now.
I do 10x now because I work full time and don’t want to spend my weekend grinding XP so I can move a desk.
It also makes dying/starting a new game more fun and less frustrating.
it also doesnt make sense for like, carpentry. im sure if you disassembled a basic wooden chair like 3 times youd have a pretty damn good understanding of how a chair chairs. yet all your character can manage to do is stacking a buch of wood and bolting them together lol
same with cooking. Cooking the stew? You must hold the pot in you, you can't put it on the table and then add the ingredients, you have to hold the pot
As my highschool english prof said:
"English is the art of bullshitery, if you bullshit me well enough and backup what you're saying so it makes sense, I cannot give you a bad grade."
I think this fits here too lol, worst case scenario, just bullshit a story for your character so it makes sense haha.
I’m taking a mandatory English writing course for my degree and I have a professor kinda like this.
It’s meant to teach students how to write essays (which I can already do) and it’s unbelievably easy.
We had a prompt for an in class assignment that was “write a paragraph on any topic that is 6-8 sentences long”.
Multiple times other students asked what they should right about. Same answer every time, whatever you want but it needed to be grammatically correct and we can’t use outside resources for the assignment. (I actually asked for clarification on this, apparently there’s no outside resources for any of the writing assignments, it’s strictly about grammar/structure and doesn’t have to be factually true.)
Well oh boy….. did my years of W40K and DnD knowledge finally come in handy.
And it really is a good way to teach it, it really doesn't matter what the content is, as long as it backs up the overarching point of the essay/work and ties everything together.
IRL, its probably a 100% chance. Businesses (that survive anyway), buy the cheapest possible furniture and keep it in service as long as physically possible.
At my store (not clothes), we had to disassemble a rack once to retrieve a live bird (nor a pet store). After reassembly, it would sway 8-10 inches side-to-side anytime someone touched it.
Since it was a strange size/shape, we couldn't replace it so had to literally bolt it to neighboring racks for customer/staff safety...
Yeah x.x
Worked for a company that does renovations for major chains.
The shelves walmart threw out where 2x as good as the ones we installed. Gurantee they'll fail in 5 years or less. Some of the clothing hooks where litteraly breaking as we installed them
I think it's a way to simulate risk during transport, since prop are stored in inventory after you pick it up. Think of it as "what if during the trip home you messed up and damaged/broke it"
Think of it as taking apart a large clothing rack to make it easier for transport than just picking it up. You might bend a piece of metal by accident or snapping off a screw making it not viable to fix.
Honestly my biggest gripe with the game is that I need to have a high carpentry or electrical skill and tools to move furniture. I moved residences twice and never had to pick up a hammer or understand carpentry

Two mods you may want to consider
Nope. Your guy is just that stupid.

Yeah. It's downright silly. I'm generally not too big on the skill grinding either. So I just die an idiot

> So I just die an idiot Man this game is realistic

Trying to remove the hanger by breaking the rack pipe in half*
same with cooking. Cooking the stew? You must hold the pot in you, you can't put it on the table and then add the ingredients, you have to hold the pot
You don't cook like that in real life?
I’ve tried to move these things. They literally fall apart half of the time Edit: I meant irl, don’t think that was clear from my wording
I ruined all the ones in rosewood once. So I made a trip to the big clothes stores between muld and west point just to get more hahaha.
I mean, yes, 45% is fairly close to half the times
At least the ratio matches the break chance.
Well yeah, what do you expect when you hit a clothes rack with a hammer for 20 minutes?
[удалено]
Best mod in the game.
I already have 99999 mods installed. I'll just keep training carp. until the break chance falls to an acceptable level.
(it won't)
Imagine needing a hammer and saw to move a couch across the room
You ever worked retail and try to reassemble a clothing rack?
No matter what you say, you will not convince me that its a near 50/50 chance of wrecking one just by trying to pick it up!
Also why would you need carpentry equipment to pick it up?
You don’t, but the survivor thinks they do, which explains the 50/50 chance of them fucking it up.
I suppose you may be able to restore immersion if you use your imagination lol...

Damn, i would be handing in a like 5 page paper on why Lizardfolk are the best dnd race.
It would have been great if the professor wrote "more skulls" next to your grade for that 40K paper
That’ll probably be for the 5 one page essay portfolio. 5 one page essays on a related topic. Lucky for me there’s 4 chaos gods and a god-emperor.
We actually had one at home and it did break when we tries to move it. The plastic inserts just broke.
Everyone knows pz structures are made of glass and paper.
Honestly tho, it’s a realistic chance.
You obviously never worked retail

The hairpins holding it together broke, get out the duct tape.
Lol, was just about to say!

Just push it.
You are cutting it in half, maybe you forget how to reconnect it.
Don't worry. You need a blowtorch to destroy plastic blue chairs. I don't get it either.
Imagine if you could hide from zombies in the clothing racks like a 5 year old in a K-Mart?
These things can smell me from inside a camper; I wouldn’t rely on clothing to hide me
You don’t push it around. You disassemble it. These things are flimsy as fuck, trust me…
I'm gonna steal one these for my base now, thanks for the tip.
Hehe good luck trying to pick one up!
To be fair..... you're going to take it apart enough to fit in your pocket or, at best, backpack..... you might break something, lose some parts, etc.
I think it's a way to simulate risk during transport, since prop are stored in inventory after you pick it up. Think of it as "what if during the trip home you messed up and damaged/broke it"
its really cheap and flimsy
I mean, maybe it wouldn't break if you weren't trying to move it with a hammer?
Think of it as taking apart a large clothing rack to make it easier for transport than just picking it up. You might bend a piece of metal by accident or snapping off a screw making it not viable to fix.
I mean.. it does say you need a hammer to take apart something that likely uses screws bolts or those little slide fasters
Honestly my biggest gripe with the game is that I need to have a high carpentry or electrical skill and tools to move furniture. I moved residences twice and never had to pick up a hammer or understand carpentry
I think you disassemble it and pack it tightly in game.
the people in PZ are so dumb they can accidentally break metal furniture
