It's effectively the same as cheating, you *can* do that, but if you do you're not playing the game as intended.

once you realize the devs are actually retarded then it becomes easier to customize the game to your liking. that's why they gave you the tools in the first place, they're incapable of curating a proper and enjoyable experience themselves.

You can totally just make a new character after you die and resume using your base.
But also FUCK that. I always tell myself I'll do that because I get so attached to my comfy home base, but then my character dies, I respawn as a freshie, and the soul is just dead. The world is lost.

Permadeath adds a giant heaping of tension and meaning to everything you do. If you could respawn with all your stuff in Project Zomboid the game would be dogshit. There would be no consequences to any poor decisions.

Skill journal mod.
>but that's a mod
Yeah, it fixes the problem you're complaining about.
>but that's basically cheating
Who gives a shit?
You clearly see it as a problem, and want some way to either retain all or some of your skills after death, and this is the best way to do so with customizable rates for how much is preserved if you still want death to have some weight.
It even requires you to get the materials and make the skill book yourself, and keep it updated as you progress.
It's basically a lore friendly save system that you can customize the difficulty of.
>but that's not how the devs intended it to be played
Don't care, you shouldn't either.

There is no secret, it's just a very unenjoyable game.
It's popular for the same reason Star Citizen is popular, it sells you promises and .jpegs and people lap it up not knowing the difference between reality and lies.
99% of discussion about this game are about mechanics that aren't actually IN the fucking game, because nobody plays vanilla. It's a game where nobody has actually played the game.

Sand box options, XP multi to 3.
Maybe turn off muscle strain.
What's cool about it is the ways you can interact with the sandbox, there's enough depth to make most playthroughs a chance to learn something new and try something different.
Also there's shitloads of mods, and you should probably avoid the pre-release version until it's actually out since it's horribly balanced, buggy, and incomplete.

As others have said, the game is a lot of fun EXCLUSIVELY WHEN HEAVILY MODDED INTO OBLIVION.
The vanilla game is bland, grindy and handled by retarded apes.
If surviving the zombie apocalypse while also trying to assemble an ARFF Oshkosh P-19 from the United States Marine Corps, piece by piece, is your definition of fun, then PZ is your sandbox. Literally.

It's all about retarded skill grinds that end up wasting your time or resource gathering garbage with 0.001% chance to drop the crap you want.

Why is it that everyone cooms over modding games and makes a big deal when you're unable to, but when zomboid is brought up so many people start being purists? Like it's ok to mod the shit outta fallout or rimworld or mount and blade or kerbal. All of them and more are ok. Zomboid though? Nope. No sir. Game is bad if you use mods!

I actually really enjoy the thrill and tension of permadeath, but man the downfall when dieing is so much worse and not worth it at all. The feeling of losing everything you have worked towards, all your weapons and cool loot gone, all was for nothing, 10+ hours of gameplay lost, it's just fucking awful. And grinding your way up again afterwards, doing the ssme things over and over again is just not fun.
Permadeath is really nice for 5 hours and below games. Permadeath is abhorrent for slow grinding and building games where runs can last 30+ hours like Zomboid and CDDA.

I mostly agree with that but some roguelikes over 5 hours long can still appeal to me with permadeath if they keep the gameplay consistently fun at all levels. But that's where Zomboid and CDDA have problems, the slow base building isn't like dungeon delving the entire time

just play with infection turned off and use a mod so you respawn like a mmorpg character, you keep all your skills but you lose your loot and have to go retrieve it.
the mod can also be readjusted to make you lose some skill if you want a death penalty outside of just losing your current loot.

Yeah should've just made it an option don't know why people are so obsessed with being "hard core and pro" in a single player game and forcing that on everyone. I can copy my saves manually but it is a pain in the ass.
Already enough grinding as is with how slow stats grow, no way i'm doing it more than once on a single playthrough.

The reason they're doing this is because lemmy is a lazy fuck who would rather distract the playerbase with scope creep and grinding than implementing NPCs and actual gameplay.
He's been like this since at least 2014, when he was still seething and malding over people asking why NPCs weren't in yet.
They're just scope creeping because they have nothing better to do before they release "1.0" after realizing they can't implement NPCs and just give up.
He's said he'll do it before and no one believed him. He's gonna sell the company before he releases NPCs because they're too hard for a brainlet like him but he also won't let the community solve the problem for him.

The biggest issue with this game is that its meant to be played like the sims, aka you switch the game to 3x speed every time you are leveling up a skill.
Can't do that in multiplayer though so its just a boring ass grind, thats why you use the xp multiplier.

the gameplay is not fun enough to do repeatedly, but it's fine when combined with the progression, if you rip the progression away at any moment I cant be fucked playing it.
