Im curious to see how you all tailor the game to suit you. I like having an action packed campaign with a lot more arcady-ness than what was probably intended. I play with Insane Zombie pop, normal zombie speed, strength, hearing etc, but no transmission, migration and respawn. I usually set electricity and water to off, one month after the apocalypse with x3 skill gain.
I like making a story where like the Knox Event was contained, and now soldiers are entering the zone to clean up. You were part of the clean up crew, but your helo goes down and you have to start clearing the zone on your own.
How do you all play?
Edit: OH i also play with Helicopter event sometimes and use the enhanced helicopter event mod (one of the few mods I use.) Sure it calls all the zombies, but that FEMA aid is worth it. Plus it makes me feel less lonely knowing someone is out there, even if they are an asshole.
I like a lonely roleplay. Like someone else said, I like to be a nomad. I play with a lot of mods (too many to list/count), and a couple that go hand-in-hand and are imo essential for RP or other loot goblins are the battle bus mod, and the RV interiors mod. I’ve yet to actually figure out how to properly modify the vehicles or even repair any, but I like the option of being able to absolutely trick out a school bus into a mobile zombie killing fortress.
I also have a lot of mods that add new fun gear and random objects to collect, like one that adds Pokemon merch (cards, plushies, binders, lunchboxes, figurines, etc.), another that adds tons of diecast cars you can collect and place, and a couple that add other little toy or trinket objects so I can satisfy my hoarder cravings.
And still I have more kids that add new map locations like Raven Creek (I think, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve played), and Xonic’s Mega Mall. There’s also other mods I have that add new zombie characters you can find and kill in the world.
Very nomadic. Buddy and I grab some vans and fill them with everything we need, building up our skills along the way. Then we die gloriously in louisille.
Poorly
I’m a hoarder and base builder. Find a good building on a quiet edge of town. Fortify it, and go on daily raids.
Normal everything, except no zombie respawn, bites only transmission, and instant death upon transmission.
Lol, gets the zombie infection over with.
I play pretty much the same. Insane pop, no respawn, power and elec shut off in the first 2 months, 2 hour long days, common loot spawns, but I leave transmission and migration the same. I like the feeling of using a lot of weapons and ammo just to feel somewhat safe in a new area and finding more than just a can of beans and a baking tray.
Gotta live fast, drift (into a tree) hard, die young and leave a pretty Zomboid behind
That reminds me of when my husband took Speed Demon and swerved around me in a car and nailed the only pole in a 20 meter radius. Messed up his car, but he survived lol.
