Welcome to the State of Survival Podcast, Episode 8. In this blog, we discuss how mods have influenced the design of Project Zomboid, focusing on the upcoming Build 42. We explore the challenges of using mods like basements and sewers, and how the developers are working to integrate these features into the game.
Basements and Sewers Reflections on limitations
The basements mod allows players to create basements using a shovel, hammer, planks, nails, and hinges. However, the mod has several limitations, including the need for a magazine to build the basement and the lack of variety in the basements' design. We discuss the potential and limitations of this mod and how it could be improved.
Ohio Mall with Sewers
The sewers mod adds custom locations to the map, such as the Grand Ohio Mall and Chinatown. These locations feature detailed sewer systems that players can explore. Unlike the basements mod, zombies can spawn in the sewers, adding an extra layer of danger. We discuss the potential and limitations of this mod and how it enhances the game's exploration aspect.
Build 42 Mods Influence
The developers of Project Zomboid have been inspired by the community's mods and are working to integrate similar features into Build 42. By building these systems from the ground up, they can ensure better performance and compatibility. We discuss the benefits of this approach and how it can enhance the game.
Community Response
We invite the community to share their thoughts on the addition of basements and sewers to Project Zomboid. We ask listeners whether they prefer these features to be developed by the devs or left to modders. We also discuss the importance of community feedback in shaping the game's development.
