Today's game is Zomboid. Me and my friend ended up continuing from our save from last time where we were playing a Dad Rock Band. Sadly i lost my character after he died looking for a car and I ended up making a new Character that's a mechanic. On my way back to our temporary base as my new character i bumped into a large horde along the way i had to fight before they migrated over to our base a few blocks away.

I named my character Wendell Martelli and he's a Trailer Park living mechanic with a love for Wrestling and works at the local Walmart Garage. I went with Mechanic because it will make it easier to start Hotwiring cars when i don't have a key.

To fit my new theme this we settled into a Mechanics shop (also because the space is nice). We scavenged some planks from the windows and barricaded them. I also looted some coveralls to wear to help sell the Mechanic bit.

We ended up having to start working towards getting carpentry up to move furniture because our house is lacking beds. On multiplayer Sleep isn't required, but we want furniture for the immersion aspect. We also intend to get a stove at some point because all we have is microwave.

Generally though, that's all we did. It was an exhausting day for the both me and my friend so it was very hands off and relaxed today.

Solid base just outside West Point proper. A few too many windows and egresses, but glad you were still able to fortify.

BTW, B41 stable or B42 unstable?

Right now i'm mainly sticking to B41 for multiplayer. Once B42 gets multiplayer though me and my usual friend i play Zomboid with fully intend to make the switch though

You are absolutely correct. This is what happens when I comment way too early lol

Always love to see Zomboid.

Do you play modded or vanilla?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

It depends on how we're feeling, usually me and my friend will play Modded though, i always play modded on singleplayer though just for the NPC mod
