Today’s game is some more Project Zomboid. I dedicated today to upgrading my forge and building weapons. I’ve been kind of collecting everything i need off and on in the background so thankfully I’m already mostly covered. I’m glad i made all those supply runs to the local houses and have been marking them of one by one as it’s built up a nice reserve of supplies to get my level up.

The first weapon i built was a small knife. Nothing crazy, but i thought our group chef could make good use of it. Or at the very least use it as a weapon.

After that i wanted to build a mace for Cable. It turned out to be way more of a setup than i expected. I had to build an advanced forge first, which while i had the supplies for i was a level short and needed to haul them all up there. After that i needed a Metalworking punch, which i also needed to track down. Finally after all that… I needed a handle which i forgot to grab. I went and stole one from another tool we weren’t using.

The result was this Mace i made for cable.

I went ahead and delivered it too Cable, along with a book on growing Hemp just for the resident pothead that i found for him. Left them both right on the bed for him to find next time he’s on.

After that i went to go check on the Chickens because I’ve been a little worried ever since we lost the chick. Thankfully they’re all fine though, and they even laid some eggs which i went ahead and harvested.

Today was mostly a nice little break from Control. I hit a road block I’ve been struggling with and so this gave me a much needed break.

    I’ve been on a Zomboid bender too with my friends group. Never ever let your chicken hutch reach 100% dirtyness, and check the water as more chicks hatch because it will start draining fast at some point, and if they don’t have water they will run away/disappear

    If we forget previous posts, the pic where you are putting mace on Cable’s bed, but you are alone, gives the feeling that there is no Cable. Just a lonely man in apocalyptic world, making imaginary friends so that he can keep going.

    Harvested all the eggs? Not going to increase their population?

    I love PZ. It’s hands down the best zombie apocalypse simulator around. The sheer breadth of things you can do in the game seems to never end. Add in mods and it’s easy to rack up thousands of hours play time.
