When you start to get confident that's when you die. My deaths are almost always caused by overconfidence. Just not sticking to my regular rules for engaging zombies or entering buildings and ignoring the signs that it's time to head back to base.

I’ve always said that the key to really mastering project zomboid is just not having a girlfriend or social life.

"walk to" is also pretty useful in singleplayer when walking long distances with time speed cranked up

I would add: - never enter the building without going around it. - it better to barricade window with metal bar than with boards - you can always see what is behind bars, but not if you barricaded with 3+ boards

Empty whiskey bottles have the best water capacity/weight ratio, use them if you can find them.

As an experienced zombiod player the helicoper tip was golden. lol

Good video! A small tip when it comes to barricading a house. You can barricade both the inside and the outside of the window or door. I like to use four boards on the outside, then a sheet of metal on the inside. The metal has more HP, but you can't see what condition it's in. By having boards on the outside, you can see how many boards are missing from the exterior if your neighbors come over requesting a cup of brains.

Not being able to shoot from windows of cars was what made me switch from b40 to 41. After playing the game with no map for so long, having the map was a total culture shock. I completely agree with the advice here. Let it be a bewildering mystery for as long as you can. Fine video production my man, great job and thank!

Approaching 150hrs in PZ, so still learning everyday. Your videos are always of great value to me. Thank you!!!

dude the water bottle tip was like one of the first adaptations i made whe. I started playing, taking low thirst takes a lot of points, so i would just double up on the water bottles. Good tip 👍

Don´t think i don´t notice you playing Chloe from LIS, and even the soundtrack 👌

Thanks so much,now i survived 10 days instead of 4 😮😅

Very useful and concise presentation - thanks! :)

I love your videos. Thank you!

Man, my third time watching this video. Keep creating great videos like this, and you shall reap. This quality of content deserves far more attention

Well done mate. I enjoyed the video and I can tell you put some hard work into this, it payed off excellently. You've gained a subscriber.

heres another tip for beginners that helped me (its kinda up to your playstyle though): make a easy mode in sandbox. make it easy for you to survive and progress until you can easily survive 1-2 weeks. this gives time for you to learn the basics and learn kinda what everything does before getting mauled by zombies because you went to louisville

love the life is strange elements!!!!

I love the Rimworld Music! Grest Video!

Great Video!!! i needed this ALOT 😂😂

Man, thanks for the last Tipp. That would be a harld lesson if i had to learn that for myself :D

13:17 I'm surprised that I saw Chloe Price in project zomboid

Beware of houses's top floors/ closets, you might get into a house and see nothing only to open up that little closet on the side and find 10 zombies packed in there tetris mode, same for upstair rooms, something big groups will be hanging upstairs baiting you in, and if it gets heated they might even break through window and jump behind or on you

The walk to command is a saviour when you're lost in the middle of nowhere, lol. Getting to know the map *is* key. About cars and keys. I've learned it's best, if you don't yet have gas, to leave the keys in any cars that work but are empty. Also, always have a towel handy. Jogging *is* great, but overheating and getting wet is not. I also find it useful to not have a base as such at the beginning but have a string of safehouses along a route which you can come back and loot those in quick succession once you've got a vehicle. Good vid. I've got a couple hundred hours in the game but have had it for months. It's a frustrating learning curve but the players are very free with their tactics, which is nice and helps a lot.

Best tips of all on youtube thanks

Good video, love it!

As an amateur of PZ I can say all these tips are great, but the thing that kills me every single time is fighting horde after horde of zombies. I keep respawn off, I try to minimize migration, I lead large hordes into the woods, but it doesn't matter. Sooner or later I get tired, I can't run away from them to my safehouse without leading them there, and I make a mistake. Never made it past 4 days yet. But it's so much fun, the challenge and realism makes it fun.

quality content 👍

that life is strange theme hit me like a truck. love that game

the baseball bat clip at the start is just too funny

If you do start without mods, I would recommend messing around with some Quality of Life mods once you got the feel for the vanilla. Some are so helpful I can’t even picture going back to full vanilla

If you let sheet rope from the window, zombies cant break down the rope while said window is closed... yet you can still climb in (ultimate floating base tip)

loved the rimworld background music xD

I wil give u sum tips and tricks based of my experience! Tip 1: if u think u can handle 5-8 zombies DONT I alr find it hard to take out 3 zombies with a melee weapon Only if u have a shotgun or other gun than u can take out the zombies (only if needed since u havelimted ammo) Tip 2 Get as many things of ur start place since later u can maybe get no food! Tip 3 pick sandbox so u can make ur own game good i recomend for begginers the intitial infection since ( i think) is when the zombies begin to rise so u Have enough time to pack ur things ( survival mode usally have 2 zombies banging on ur door at start point) Tip 4 pick the burgaler job since u can hotwire cars since not all cars have keys in them! Tip 5 if u hotwire a car make sure there are no zombies in the area around u ofc u can lock doors but they could smash the windows and bite u (happend to me) Tip 6 its importent to carry weapons all times there could be zombies everywhere even in buildings Tip 7 (this is purely what i think) Dont make a base if u dont wanna make it secure ofc u can lay down in a random house for abt 2 days but the house is usally not so secure! Tip 8 always close the Windows off and the lights out where doors are they could peek in door windows and see u Tip 8 carry as much gas as u need Since after maybe a couple of days all the things go out And u dont instantly have a generator Tip 9 keep the car running when looting when there is a hord coming u cant always get the engine on first try and maybe if there close they will catch u! Tip 10 if u want to survive the longest loot canned food and dont forget the can opener super importent Tip 11 barecaded houses are Usally very good places to loot since survivers who later on died have gatherd very much food and weapons Tip 12 make sure to play the tutorial since the game is pretty hard itself (little suprise at the end) ---------‐--------------------------------- these where my tips hope u enjoyed them ( These are tips based of my gameplay❤) if i made spelling mistakes im dutch🇳🇱 and i am a little bit bad in spelling english!😂

thanks Kyle

One more tip is that plant 1 or 2 crops a day. This will lead to 1 or 2 harvests per day which means no spoiled veggies

0:20 Standing here I realize You are just like me Trying to make history But who's to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we'll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end it has to be this way

After 100ish hours I can confidently say my survival, or lack thereof, always comes down to complacency. This game is truly amazing, I wish everybody could experience it. By far, the greatest game I've ever played.

2:00 as someone who always picks high thirst I bring like 6-8 watter bottles with me. I also try to collect EVERY water bottle I can to fill them up. I like the bleach bottles and when I use those I only carry 2-3 spare with me. I am currently on a character who has survived around 5 months and I have 3 wooden crates just filled with watter bottles... I like to go crazy but it helps when you have high thirst. I also do always pick organized and that changes a large bag from 27 to 35 so the 4-5weight of water bottles isnt a problem since I still have some more extra space from the organized trait (they balance eatchother) also collect EVERY bucket, cooking pot and watering can. you can never have enough... Its the worst when its like mid winter and snowy etc etc and you dont have water. I rather have a year worth of water supply just standby then running out of water in winter. yes you can always scavenge water dispensers but when its cold and a blizzard is outside you just cant sometimes when your in a pinch...

Love the rimworld music!

I thought I was going mad…. Too many nights half asleep after work falling asleep to rimworld and now trying this…. 3:42 I’m glad it was in the video and not my head.

In Project Zomboid I have an axe I try to maintain it but I also have a hand axe on my belt for when things get dire The extra weight was worth it a few times :D

I'll politely disagree in no mods for beginners. There's some real nice qualifying of life and vanilla+ mods that make it easier for new players

I did not expect to hear Life is Strange music on a Project Zomboid video.

Thanks

I am slowly catching up with your older videos, this one in particular was extremely educational for me. I knew some tips, but some were brand new for my experience. I recently had a surprisingly good multiplayer run, and we chose Rosewood Fire Dept as our base. From this run, and your tips I can ask you: - Is there a smart way to check whether any downloaded mods will conflict, especially in MP? When the list grows, it becomes daunting to check if theyre safe one by one. - I struggled immensely in building a balcony outside the first floor, and in using the roof for farming. Is that building cursed? Do you think you could give some advanced tips on how to build and transform your base? For example, I had no idea that I could not build balconies on south windows...

Yes, it's a really great experience not having mods installed if you're very new. I survived at least a week and proceeded to have mods because I literally don't know what I'm doing

Tip #5, Schrodinger's Zombie

PFFF! Tires are overrated. Thanks for doing this!!

7:43 may I know why you "don't want to" drink tainted water?(the way you did it from a river) Never had any problems with it

Love the rimworld music lmao

That Rimworld Music c:

13:18 - That's Chloe Price!

What was that zombie heatmap popup you had?

Took me a good couple minutes to realise the Rimworld music was this video 😂 thought my PC was glitching out

I have another tip id like to share: There is a bug in Project Zomboid where you can improve both fitness and strength without moving. All you need to do is to exercise and then start sprinting while holding the ok button at the same time. It can be a little tricky, but you will gain exp as soon as you stopped moving. And it will not stop even when you're completely exhausted. and this bug already exist since last year!

Just started this game so far the combats a bit weird n the movements different to other games but shouldn't take to long to get used to

You can avoid being eaten by zombies by not playing the game.

Thanks brother, i suck at this game

Explain pls how zombies do not spawn in a building unless you're close enough to see inside? I was driving a car in the parking lot of the prison running zombies over and suddenly a horde came pouring into the lot as the car died. As I was running away I realized the zombie horde was from zeds pouring out the windows of the prison which was not close enough to see inside from the parking lot

So are you saying that if I'm bitten and infected, no matter how many times I heal, or use bandages etc. I'm going to die no matter what I do? Is it basically worth it to just let myself die than at that point and start fresh? I'm only on my second playthrough since buying the game a few days ago and I'm already on day 7. Granted I chose the "BUILD" mode variant of the game which says it's more relaxed. Figured it made sense.

You can wipe away sweat with a kitchen rag 🤯

Something ive learned is alcohol is a great source of food and water

10:30 holy shit 400h never occurred to me you can do that instead of looking for Sledgehammer

Just stopped playing Rimworld to learn PZ, watch a noob PZ video and hear Rimworld music.

i even use pencils if i have no weapon there were times i had to take all the pencils in the house no weapons found inside

Rimworld music works good for PZ lol

10:07 LIFE IS STRANGE

Hey man, is those trucks vanilla ou it's a mod? I never found one of these

rimworld music on the back

- Play with mods right from the start - Horde guns and ammo

I hear RimWorld music, I press like.

I like the rimworld music over a pz video

Hi Kyle, im Kyle!

Showing new players to drink tainted river water is probably not the best first move.

If you are new to the game I agree with the mods statement to an extent but if you are having trouble with the UI and all of the complexities then a few client side mods to help navigate better is fine in my opinion.

So I the generator inside a building dangerous if you have all windows open on let's say the 2nd floor?

Another tip is that visual stealth sucks so stealth builds are useless (for now since visual stealth isnt optimized) so you should take the conspicious trait on every build since its basically free points since zombies will see you anyways

Not having a weapon is better than the majority of the weapons in the game. Funny as it is watching people trying to fight 4-5 zombies with a frying pan or bread knife, you can probably kill all of them using a fence or window and your foot with very little risk in less time than you can kill 1 out of the 5 using a frying pan. I get weeks into a runs without using more than shoving and my feet. Making a game around late spring and run around looting food and killing using only shoving and stomping while utilizing windows and fences will teach you when not to use a weapon and really help you not waste durability on weapons when you don't need to.

is that Chloe?

6:51 chloe price?!?! i need that mod.

rimworld ost

Not sure why luring zeds one at a time is relevant for you, since you play with multihit, which eliminates any need for horde management skills or tactics

i just noticed at 6:52 ur character is chloe price

you are the only pz youtuber i won't listen to one of these tip vids of and cringe at lol

Do you Play RimWorld?

Please tell me that’s P-Music

I thought you can no longer build floors out windows

Why is this game not available on Xbox? I want to play it bad

i guess i just dont know how to play this game. every time i try a new playthrough and try something different, it makes no difference, i end up spending the entire game running mindlessly and endlessly from zombies until im eventually killed. Im not even able to actually play the game. everytime i think ive finally gotten away and can try to get into a house, nope theres another 5 zombies around the corner that will in turn draw more towards me. idk how to play this game. i dont want to just ratchet the zombies down to super lower pop either, that seems cheap.

I know people say to begin without mods. I got very bored very quickly without mods. Id say look up some decent QOL mods, maybe some vehicles etx. Because my 1-5 play throughs were rough and fun but once i got the hang of it i got hella bored fast. Mods give you a lot of options for things to do or directions to take on playthroughs. With no mods its the same. Fond weapon, find food, fin generator, survive until you die. That was boring af. Especially SP. The only times i died was to get more food. That was so boring. With some decent mods, you can survive long enough to want to explore the nap, then die, at least. Even with mods, shit sint easy so, why not make it more exciting. Play through without mods, until youre about to uninstall because of the biredom, then remember the mods. Smh. If i cant attach a bag, satchel, chest bag, tool belt, well after 2k hours, i got my 20$ worth lmfao

just play on project xtreme

Jogging should absolutely be avoided unless necessary. You can outwalk zombies. You're already faster than them. Being out of breath and being tired are part of a feedback loop: the more often you become out of breath, the more tired you will become, which will increase the time it takes to rest back to being not out of breath, and you will become tired faster. It's a loop. Avoid it. Save the jogging for absolute necessary situations.

Advanced tips that are actually advanced? In my KZfaq feed? What is this??

Can you smoke weed in this game

zomboid with rimworld music!!!! Wierd!!!!!

Your audio mixing needs improvement, bro. I'm having a hard time understanding you over the background game sounds, with gunshots being the absolute worst. Lower the audio volume of your background video.

Pmusic. ❤️❤️

I heard Rim world music in there. Talk about punishing. Playing zomboid an Rim are like certified proof you are sadomasochistic psycho 😂😂😂😂 Both Stella games tho.
