12:07 *Antique ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes.*
_Nervously look at his modern chrome oven, opens the door, drop a couple of VHS tapes, close the door, put the temperature to 375._
*_Carpentry lvl 3!_*
hey preds, to clarify, the route you showed as a back door into Louisville does exist, but you show a map with the incorrect route you have to go through the downed fence near the refugee camp then snake through the military fences to get to it.
Antique ovens do not have the ability to play VHS?!? You sir blew my mind :O joke aside thanks for putting all the work to make this video.
Tell me if you do know how to use workshop mods for GOG Zomboid?
I got PZ as a gift,but over on GOG,so I can't use the mods,but certainly would like to...
>>> INSTEAD of collecting each digital watch and walkie talkie off zombie YOU CAN simply right click on your screwdriver when you're on top of pile of corpses and it will give you an option to disassamble all of the electronics they are holding
A good mod to use is amateur Electrician if you like leveling electrical. It gives one level and generator knowledge for 2 pts. I really like that you can make battery powered lamps at lvl 5 or 6 so I always level it up.
Game changer. Wattttt
Thankyou so much
Your a legend mate
no fucking way cap 110% cap
12:06 "Antique ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes" 😆
As soon as I heard that I checked the comments
Dang you beat me to it
Great, now I need to look for a modern oven.
I mean he's not wrong
wow thats crazy
TIP: If you DO get your car stuck on bushes or a horde of zombies. If your car is set to automatic, let go of the gas (W) to let the RPM go down so the car goes back to 1st gear. And then just start tapping W until you get out. It's much easier to drive through grass or a horde in 1st gear.
i would've died a lot less if there were manual cars
Damn I died yesterday due to not knowing this tip. My car got stopped by like, 8 zombies and I couldn't move any direction. I got out and immediately got bitten
theres a mod which improves car physics, such as adding manual cars and letting them rev higher@@meeese6_
Wow! I'll have to try that out, Thanks a bunch for this, I was wondering what was going wrong!
@@calebtheholyman545 I feel your pain friend.
Got another tip.
When looting for watches and such do you also find it so annoying when one of the watches has an active alarm and it goes off when you try to be sneaky?
Off course you can deconstuct them when you pick them up but if you wanna take them with you (waiting for XP book for instance).
Sollution:
Make sure to carry them on your person and not in a bag. (they weigh almost nothing so no problem).
Now if you have some collected activate the alarm on your own watch and deactivate it, all watches in your inventory are turned off now.
(quickest way is to use the bell icon on the watchbox top right corner of your screen).
nice tip
You absolute legend, this drives me nuts so thanks!
You can hover over the watch and it will say when the alarm is set for if it is already on
wow nice. I know a lot about zomboid, and I did not know this (I knew everything in this video, there's even some mistakes/misleading statements)
Hate the alarm thing bruh. Like what kinda person sets a watch alarm for 5:40 pm
12:06 "Antique ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes." So true, I needed this info 😂
ive been using my tapes all wrong
No wonder! I've been putting my tapes into the oven over and over and it just disappears! I thought it was a bug.
12:05 "Antique OVENS do not have the ability to use VHS tapes."
I kept burning through tapes, trying to get this working, when I finally gave up, refunded the game, and bought a helmet.
I have found that you can move through trees without being slowed down or getting scratched if you aim walk through them. Especially helpful while foraging. Yet another reason to level nimble
You can negate them with lumberjack and park ranger, as well as the clicking to walk, which will avoid it as well.
You won't be slowed by the trees, but the combat stance movement speed is super slow, so it only helps to not get scratched. A better way to avoid getting scratched in most circumstances is to use "walk to", as that allows you to quickly move through forested areas unless they form solid walls.
Aiming/strafing also gives you a foraging bonus to spot stuff. Good way to spot hidden car keys.
Tip 34: Antique Ovens do not have the ability to use VHS taps. Electric ovens, however, can use VHS tapes
This comment is a god send, literally saved my playthrough.
@@NevilsicoShardwhat?
lmaoo😂
You can play VHS in Ovens??? I've strictly been using a microwave
note, the movement penalty from backpacks is so negligible that it should never matter
For those who play on multiplayer servers.
Put your username/inservername as the character name as it will show on your keyring. If you die this makes it easier to get your stuff back, specially if you play with friendly people willing to bring it back for you, or at least notify you of where your Zomboid body shambled to.
Ain’t no one that friendly lol
@@Ekdrinkive never played it online, how "friendly" are people
@@mr_nosnow8585 I haven't either, but i imagine it's like most other games- 10% friendlies, 25% people that don't care/stay neutral, 65% people actively trying to take your stuff/aggressive in-game. Really depends on the server you go into and if you have friends or not
is it worth playing in multiplayer?
@@chemistyrit makes for a completely new gameplay. Even when you can't play at the same time, having someone who likes doing the stuff you don't really likes can be nice. If one of you likes foraging while the other enjoys hunting zombies, you can share the rewards of both.
Maybe one likes to build a base and repair cars while the other is more about loot runs
When you like the same things it can be even better: have someone cover your back when you enter a house or crowded neighborhood is really nice
Man when you said "antique ovens cant use VHS tapes" my brain was like "yeah well duh." Then I realized you meant antique tvs. Good video. Learned a bunch. Keep it up.

While I know of it now (ofc), tip 54 would have made learning about combat SO MUCH EASIER for me when I first started playing. My biggest issue was being unable to do defensive "stuff" in combat, and this is one of the best ways to get out of tricky situations.
Fun tip - on second floor, building a wooden floor and then dissembling it will remove the floor and make a hole. So removing the floor tiles around the staircase will do the same as destroying the staircase with a sledgehammer.
re: tip #4, be aware your glasses can fall off your face if you trip and fall. Still a free trait, just keep a few spare pairs of glasses at your base in case you lose them
I regularly play with short sighted and I never noticed a difference, not even when I experimented and picked eagle eyed instead.
It's basically just 2 free points
@@charlescalvinfromtriplethr9712I agree. Ive always had shortsighted and at one point didnt even notice Ive lost my glasses, combat view's still the same
*if you dont have a sledgehammer, remove the floor at the top of the stairs
You never need to destroy the stairs if you do this, making sledgehammers only really good for breaking walls. Also available to do immediately, without relying on the loot rng.
102: Firefighter clothing not only protects you alot, but also protects your NECK. Clothing that protects your neck are lifesaving, so keep this in mind. I was surprised how much people did not know that. The firefighter clothing might slow you up, but its better than being chomped on in the neck.
With level 10 tailoring and smacking leather strips on the firefighter suit it feels like I'm immortal
@@dakota7665 But you cant add patches on the firefighter suit? Or are you using mods
Keen hearing, distance and movement beats armor, IMO. Generally, fighting outdoors is safer. But yes, urban indoors calls for a bit different armor and weapon set.
I set up my base in the cabin near lake in valley station, went to loot the warehouse just south of army checkpoint. A zed sneaked up behind me and I got bitten in the neck because I left my firefighter jacket in the cabin like a dumbass. GG, lesson learned
I don't know. Firefighter gear is heavy, makes you overheat easily, makes you move slower AND lowers your movement speed. The way I put it to my friend is that it's basically bruiser/tank armor, in a game where you don't want to get hit. I understand why people wear it, but it's not worth it to me.
For tip 24, there is also an antique oven easily accessible in one of the houses near the fenced warehouses on Muldraugh!!
Making a stone knife to make spears instead of using the same chipped stone to make spears is more efficient.
12:05 who would’ve thought that you can’t play vhs tapes in an antique oven
For the nomad's like myself who make their home in a car keeping seed bags is a good way to organize your main backpack.
They weigh practically nothing and hold 6 units a piece with the organized trait.
Material to construct a tent can usually be found in warehouses and construction sights. They weigh 3.5 compared to 8 for a mattress and 5 if you find a military cot
If you can spare the weight a mug isn't a bad investment. I'm fairly certain you can't make coffee in anything else and it's a second container to boil 1 unit of water in.
Imo it kills 2 birds cooking and purifying some water for later.
On the topic of food stew is God. If you can hoard some salt, pepper and bouillon cubes you can burn through those perishables and fatten up for winter.
It's the main reason I keep a stew pot on me.
Throw whatever you have into some dirty water. Add seasoning and once it's cooked, hunger, thirst, depression and boredom are all gone
The 38 is a piece of sh!t....that being said your glove box can probably hold more 38 bullets than God and it's the quietest gun in the game. Also it doesn't require magazines so there's no dead weight to carry when you empty it
Good luck
The Auto Mechanics mod is a freaking life saver.
Some very useful information there, some things I knew and some I didn't! There's always new things to learn about Project Zomboid and the community in general and videos like this are so useful!
I would like to add an Addition to Tip 78: those long warehouses are great to visit later in a playthrough as well. All the sacks of produce will become rotten fairly quickly making them a gold mine of compostable material, so take a vehicle with a decent capacity and stock up!
And after you have taken away all the sacks you can disassemble the crates for carpentry XP and materials.
Yeah some useful stuff for sure, but a lot of these are exploits and if you intend to play the game as, well...intended...then you shouldn't use them. Also, it's like the tips are designed for a child who had too much sugar and had ADHD and zero patience...why should you have to do everything quickly? Part of the allure of the game is just...surviving. Trying to speedrun everything destroys a lot of the vibe it was meant to go for. Also, another flaw in this UA-camr's logic is him thinking you should level everything up...no, you should figure out what kind of character you want, and then play to those strengths. Your playstyle should thus change based on the kind of character you have...this guy complains of being bored a lot, so it surprises me that he'd always try to play the same way, but I guess if you're impatient this thought wouldn't occur to you
tip 102: while going through trees go into the aiming stance, that way you will not get scratched by the trees and at a certain nimble level it's actually faster than normal
just right click and click on walk to and you wont get scrattched at all while being faster then aiming stance
@@vengie01👍👍👍👍👍 nice and thanks
to add to tip 22-24 an antique oven can also be found in one of the abandoned houses near the also abandoned C.G.E. corp factory in the northwest of the map. Its the top row fourth from the left (there will be a T.E.A. boys tag inside it). There are also some free wire traps in the still maintained house by the factory as well.
"Antique ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes"
I found this little mistake utterly hilarious, thank you for not cutting it xD
Honestly most helpful project zomboid youtuber in my opinion I've only just started playing recently with a friend and actually got to live more than 2 days by looking at your videos.
I have 2 people I play with if you need a small server :)
Just wanted to let you know you have VERY rapidly become my favorite UA-camr! love all your videos and sooooo thankful for your tutorials and tips, I just made it 2 months in PZ thanks to your videos 😁
Only thing is, a lot of these tips seem to cater to ADHD-raddled people with zero patience...like, some of these "tips" are just exploits and if you really want to play the game as intended you shouldn't be using them. Also, why do you have to do everything quickly? The best part of the game is surviving at your own pace, no need to rush everything like you're some child on a sugar rush
@@tevarinvagabond1192💯
some of us like to smell the flowers (or zombie corpses). others like to minmax. whatever floats the boat
I dont think any of the ovens in vanilla are VHS compatible, but maybe i wasnt doing it right
They are compatible, they just don't eject the VHS afterward. 😉
One tip that I don't see people discuss often is that poisonous berries and mushrooms can be eaten without making you sick by adding them to salads with other ingredients
i think it only works with a high cooking skill
Bleach too if you are cooking 9 and add it to a soup
Cleans your liver
22:25 i love that he didnt say he was joking. Darwin would be proud.
“If you use a machete to make 13 spears, refund the game and purchase a helmet.” DAMNNNN
Stop eating burning food you PSYCHO!
Tip 34: “Antique ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes”
*Pulls melted plastic casserole from the oven*
Damn it…
I like lucky because it’s funny being in America and truly finding a gun case in about half the nightstands or dressers in any given house. Also if you want a truly reliable weapon and were lucky enough to find a machete, attaching it to a spear and reclaiming it resets the “repaired” amount, allowing you to repair it twice and have a 50%+ machete until just reattaching it to a spear and repeating.
12:05 I am returning my Antique oven RIGHT now, what disappointing news!
12:05 dammit, I wanted to put a VHS in my antique oven!
12:05 damn no wonder i was banned from the local blockbuster.
For tip 57, what would be the recommended armor for making sure you don't get the moodle but also stay relatively protected? I tend to do police jacket, bulletproof vest, fire fighter pants, helmet, and desert boots
"antique ovens do not have the ability to play vhs tapes"
damn i was really hoping to watch something on my oven while cooking
26:30 thats why im leaving a like. I remembered this song a moth ago and i was listening to it every where lol. That was gold back then damn. It is weird that you referenced it.
@12:05 "Antique ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes." On the contrary, I find that VHS tapes are quite palatable after being cooked in an old stove. I don't gain knowledge... I consume it.
Electrical level 4 lets you power lamps via battery. Which, as someone in month 6, and desperate for light (6 gens, no magazine), electrical sounds really nice.
There's also an antique oven in Muldraugh below the Self-Storage Buildings, and above the Laundromat. Or depending how you view maps; East of the Self Storage, West of the Laundromat.
Jeezus, 6 generators and no magazine?
Did you search every library you could find?
Maybe helpful. Here are coordinates for wooden stove in West Point.

if you play with reduced loot spawns lucky can be the difference between life and starvation
I have played project zomboid for 512 hours and am just now finding out that "jogging" and "Sprinting" are different things. I have never sprinted in project zomboid. I just assumed it got faster the higher you got but never bothered grinding the skill because it takes too long.
same here!!! I honestly thought I knew everything after 2 years and feel incredibly dumb right now… oh well, at least I'm not the only one xD
also, at what point is it a UI issue if the most common keybinding for sprinting defaults to jogging instead? and you still level up sprinting while jogging so there is no indication of smth being wrong?
idk, I get that it's a game without hand holding. this just seems like unnecessary difficulty/annoyance for players switching from other games.
The sprinting/jogging distinction is new to B41.
@@emmaschneider3638I don’t think the keybind is a UI issue, because 99% of the time you want to jog rather than sprint. Even crouch-jogging on a baseline fit character who’s encumbered is fast enough to comfortably escape almost any situation. Frankly I’m not sure why sprinting exists.
Player sprinting is faster than zombie sprinting.
Player jogging is usually on par with zombie sprinting.
Sooo……
Just started PZ yesterday after watching most of the 1000 days series, this vid couldn't have dropped at a better time.
I'm surprised someone who hates Nimble as much as you isn't using the mod "Standardised Nimble XP". The default settings are overzealous, but setting it to the minimum values feels just right IMO. Try it out.
This is majorly obscure but getting a point in nimble doesn't just give 75% xp but actually 300%. Its badly worded but normal xp gain is actually 25% so 75% is x3 normal xp
It makes the skill actually feel more balanced. If you dont have bonus XP in nimble....well thats just pure agony and honestly a reason to reroll.
For anyone wondering, the beat is "Timothy Infinite - Skin Tone" 🔥 Chill vid Predz.
Lucky is nice to have for foraging, although I suppose there are better traits that allow better foraging bonuses.
It was here I first learned that Antique Ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes ;)
About tip 38: Don't bother leveling carpentry if you're only going to use it for barrels. There's plenty barrels you can take in garden shops and other establishments like restaurants. There's a chance to break them if you attempt to move them but there's usually quite a few and you only really need one or two.
You are correct sir at the 12:08 mark. Antique ovens can not in fact play vhs tapes
27:30 downloaded the game recently and when i was looting my house i thought that having a clock would be useful, so i took one of those, and you can guess how i died
lol
Tip 24: actually the easiest to get antique oven is in one of the houses in the abandoned neighborhood west of Riverside. The house with it is right next to asphalt road so no trecking required ❤
“Don’t take lucky” 90% of gamblers give up right before they hit big though
That heat death one reminds me of the time we used dynamic moodles/traits or whatever it was called.
Basically your traits influence your moodles and vice versa if I recall. The critical flaw in this being that we used other mods (obviously) and those mixed to make several nonsensical deathtraps
I was stuck fighting zombies outside that I couldn't shake off, but I ultimately killed, only to catch corpse sickness and just was unable to lose it.
He just kept sweating due to becoming queasy and wouldn't cool down due to my character becoming sicker and thus becoming warmer. It was such a bizarre death loop that frankly sucked absolute shit because my moodles would just keep cascading until I finally died. That was what finally convinced them to remove the mod. That and the fact it started happening to one of the other combat heavy people, and also the gun guy.
Of course we also still had disinfect or die, which by the way, kills you even when you do disinfect. So not much changed.
If you run or jog you can still be grabbed, I learned that the hard way, I honestly don't know how you were not grabbed. I also realised if you try to escape trough a window and a Z is coming from the outside you will be pushed back into the building.
You might have been fatigued?
@@Gaz_minis no, i was only depressed but that shouldnt do anything about it. Sometimes they also bite me while I hit them with a knife. All settings are default on appocalipse.
"Antique ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes" (12:04)
I'd be very surprised if they did.
12:05 Yes, you're right. Antique ovens can indeed not play vhs tapes. Very informative yes yes
Today i learned after nearly 300 hours playing this game i've never once sprinted
"if you wanna sacrifice a machete for 13 spears, just refund the game and buy a helmet" best insult i have ever heard 😂😂
12:05
"Antique ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes."
Do normal ovens have that ability? I never knew. 😂😂😂
But seriously, this video was very helpful. I'm a new player. Thanks!

There's also an antique oven in lv in the mansion that's being renovated where the rare brick wall tile is too. It's the mansions that are to the east of the firestation from liberating lv
Not sure why you haven't broken any spears fishing. I've been doing a Kingsmouth Island run recently, and I've definitely broken at least three or four spears, just getting to fishing rank 5
"Antique Ovens do not have the ability to use VHS Tapes" I wouldnt think they could. Putting a CD in an oven would probably have the same issue. 12:03
There's an antique oven at a house in Muldraugh. Right by the road.
Hey predz at 12:05 you said antique ovens instead of televisions. Keep up the amazing work, I am so sorry about your world record attempt. Was there live and actually shed a tear.
There is another antique oven spawn in Louisville at the best housing spot south of the mall on the second floor of the construction house at the rich neighborhood with the kid's playground park. It also has unlimited water, wood fire places in almost every house and close access to the mall, gas station, and unmatched zed chokepoints.
There is an antique oven in Louisville park at the visitor’s center in the upper right corner of the park.
A trick to help zomboid preformance is to allocate more ram. This isn't exactly a beginner endeavor as it involves manually editing game files. There are guides out there, and doing this helps the game run better in general.
12:05 - "Antique ovens do NOT have the ability to use VHS tapes."
I mean... You're not wrong. xD
12:07 "Antique Ovens dont have the ability to use VHS tapes" I'd be concerned if my Oven had a VHS slot ngl
12:05 "Antique Ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes..." - I would hope not.
12:05 huh never knew antique ovens could ever play VHS tapes in the first place
my guy got the classic opera GX intro. My little predz moving up in the world
12:06 oh no, how will i watch my VHS tapes with my antique oven now??!! 😢
12:05 "**Antique ovens** do not have the abillity to play VHS tapes"
Video starts at 02:10.
For electrical leveling you can also take apart radios in cars. Lots of mid options for leveling electrical lol I like the generator repair one though that's a great tip.
Just realized on my second time watching that tip 34 you said "antique ovens do not have the ability to play vhs tapes" while clicking on the antique TV lol
In the warehouse south to the factory in Scenic Grove (little town and factory with a warehouse and gas station west of Riverside) always spawn one Antique Oven in all those crates. I noticed it while playing default settings and with rare, very rare, ridiculously rare and insanely rare loot.
12:05 "Antique ovens cannot use VHS tapes" Dude they never could 💀
I noticed the Kill Bill reference with the Katana at 27:57 . Nice.
Not sure if I agree with the lucky trait tip. It increases it *per container* not per house.
12:04
tip 34: "antique ovens do not have the ability to use VHS tapes."
I have taken a liking to starting with 9+ fitness but 0 strength. It is so much easier to level strength with just fighting zombies regularly and eating your proteins, that you can easily get 4+ strength in the first 20 days.
Don't play PZ while sleepy irl! You may lose your long term character.
Edit: 5:03 you need a bulletproof codpiece.
Edit edit: 26:04 Quality book recommendation.
Edit edit edit: (this is a placeholder for my inevitable third edit)
if you end up maxing your carpentry you get the better boxes which have 60 storage for people who get carpentry up which is very easy becouse when you hit level 7 making tier 3 walls as long as you read the books really gets you the xp you need.
About short sighted - Why doesn't anyone mention the fact that some head covers don't work with glasses?
Do 101 tips and tricks for multiplayer next!
I finally figured out why my antique ovens weren’t working, I was trying to use vhs tapes on them 12:05
you're telling me i've been playing this game FOR A YEAR AND I DIDNT KNOW I COULD SPRINT
2:30 I mean it was called an Ohio mall for a reason 💀
This is the best way I could have started my summer vacation
For tip #5 be careful about which window you back up to when running away from small hordes, backing up against multiple store windows is not a good idea😅
I literally JUST found and watched the first video to this series and find out that 2hours ago, you JUST posted the second video. Talk about a coincidence...
