I imagine the story on how you would "spawn" on an outhouse in the middle of nowhere. You get shitfaced drunk with friends at some party and the next morning you wake up with a bad hangover on top of a outhouse and it's the end of the world and everyone is a zombie 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets huge Sims vibes from this game. The creators should make a sims game with these assets, call it "Project Simboid"
I feel like I'm barely able to comprehend how fucking hard EA would come down on that lol. Irrecoverable, intergenerational financial ruin for every bloodline that has ever been connected to Indiestone in any way ; - ;
What I love to collect in Zomboid is fresh food. Put my sandbox on Initial Infection, bump up spawns of fresh food and loot the stores. Once at base organize it all and revel in the satisfaction of having so much food.
There is something satisfying about having access to all of the food stuffs that quickly start to rot, and then will never be replenished once they're gone. I always found there to be something very depressing about looting shops after the power's gone out and just finding all of the rotten pizza, steak and hotdogs. They never had chance to experience the joys of being consumed by a human mouth, and that just breaks my heart, it really does.
It's not okay ChuggleDBugl, we're supposed to be training for the big game and you're not at practice!

Erasers can be used to erase notations on maps. Pillows are used to craft mattresses. Utensils in your inventory (fork or spoon) will be used to eat out of cans and bowls, etc. All pens and pencils can be used to draw comics and write books. A weird mechanic as you don't gain fun in doing the action, only in reading the finished product. Cigarettes can be used to get rid of flies, but you have to read a farming magazine for the recipe. If you have the recycle everything mod, you can rip dish towels and towels into ripped sheets. If you want to set traps for zombies, the timer is used in a few gadget recipes. EVERY TIME YOU DON'T HIT THE LOOT ALL OPTION AT THE TOP OF A CONTAINER THAT YOU TAKE ALL THE ITEMS FROM ANYWAY, I GROW AN EXTRA HEAD.
Ok, the comic timing on that intro is amazing. Timers can be used in place of alarm clocks to make 'crafted timers', which in turn can be used to upgrade bombs/noisemakers into their timed equivalent.
Agreed. Sure, 4 is advanced, 3 has ideas, 2 had stuff you don't even see now, but 1 was just special. The SIM-plicity (had to) was charming, the magic and holidays and Hollywood! I really gotta see if I can boot my old discs... Major nostalgia right now.

10:30 God damn AA, you do such great work with cultivating such a perfect zen atmosphere in your videos, specifically in these longer form ones where you can really take the time and appreciate small things in the game that have irl parallels - I love it!
I'd imagine it's less about the love devs have for their creation and more about not having the same creative freedom. Especially with the corporate guys that care more about their bottom line and selling as much as possible, which on average end up with a need to catch the interest of the masses, rather than having a vision and setting out to create it, without worrying about the masses wanting it. If they were doing that back then, games like doom and postal might not have existed.
agreed, most aaa games these days obviously WANT to be something amazing but the devs either get treated badly, can't have their creative freedoms, or have terrible deadlines (usually those christmas sales). notable examples being fnaf security breach, fallout 76, sonic boom and just sm more its a real shame because looking at small details or concept art u can tell they really wanted to innovate and create an awesome experience then it comes out and its fr unplayable

I like taking the smoking trait because it forces me to take risks, especially once I've got a base set up. Many times I've died or been bitten because I left safety because either my cigarettes or lighter had run out XD
And my character leaned against my base having a smoke while looking across the city is a fun aesthetic. Huge vibes. Or clearing out a big horde and chilling for a second to have a smoke to calm down.
You should do some more story playthroughs. I like it when you narrate the life of one of your characters. You should make a 28 days later style game where everyone is a runner and you want to try and set up a little shelter out by a river in a secluded forest, away from any possible danger. Only you have to escape the city first. Who knows weather you make it out or die trying. It's the trials and tribulations on the way and self discovery in a harsh and inhospitable land that makes it fun. Keep up the good work
@@Seetj pretty sure I've seen it. Just think more would be cool. Just mentioned 28 days later because slow zombies would make it to easy. You want a struggle and actual fear lol
I will be soooo stoked the next time he does one of these, but they take so much effort compared to just playing so I respect his choice to wait until he feels like it to do one.
I've been hoping for more Cataclysm for ages! It's definitely at least as fun to watch as this, as the sheer amount of variety and depth make it way more interesting. Besides, your narration is the reason I'm listening to this too in the first place. :)
I was looking for this comment. And while cold water is totally viable for blood on fabric it is only ever one potential step in a process every female learns. We would be scary if we were more prone to violence.
Laughed so hard at the "couldnt you use a club hammer even if your not in a club?" Reminded me of the old Mitch Hedberg joke "I ordered the club sandwich the other day, and I'm not even a member."
Really hope he keeps on with this series, really enjoyed it. Also i think in terms of the base building he should actually build fences and barbed wire defences rather than just the frames.
10:40 I used to feel much better about going to sleep as a kid when our old Kelvinator fridge would turn on, as it made such a deep low hum that it wasn't annoying, and also made you feel at home. Great memory :)
1:12:23 From a cursory search, the very first movie ever to be widely released on DVD was in 1997. The first well-known movie to be released on DVD was Disney's Mulan (the valid one, not the live action piece of garbage) a few years later in 1999.
Erasers can remove marks from maps written in pencil, dish towels are for drying yourself if wet and some rotten foods can be used in recipes after cooking lvl 7, but rotten cakes and pizzas and such are only good for compost.

I got into PZ recently and I've been addicted. What a fantastic game. I know it won't help AA, now, but if you put items in trash containers, there is a "delete all" button on the top that does just that! I found that very helpful
Damn. I just stumbled across this fine amphibian, and listening this sweet man musing about the game, life and nostalgia is about as endearing as Garrison Keillor’s ramblings about Lake Wobegon. It inspired me get the game, and it’s amazing. Love this. Never change. ❤
Expanded Heli Events: Strange Edition and Deadly Fog and insane population and respawns to keep it interesting. Can be over run at any moment. But I like to have armored vehicles for that true nomad experience, permanent bases seem out of date to me, especially with the new Foraging overhaul coming. Storage caches are more my speed. I'm beginning to find farming useless. Even with food settings on Rare, you find enough rice, pasta and flour to keep you going if you're using fishing and foraging. I guess farming has it's place if you don't like scavenging houses.
Really you can play this game any number of ways and survive a pretty long time. Looting buildings, fishing, trapping, foraging, etc. And each supports a different play style, that being either supporting a permanent base or encouraging exploration and having a mobile base of operations. I think the most effective play style would be to loot any house you can find early-game, then establish a base and fortify it the best you can. When the base gets overrun from a number of reasons such as a helicopter event, you would have a car stocked with canned food and supplies. I’m not sure what you would do after escaping in a car, but you could either live life as a forager, gathering supplies from nearby towns and constantly siphoning gasoline, or you could settle in the woods and create a quaint cabin. Honestly just try something new
I've definitely got my "money's worth" out of this game and then a lot more. I hope they get multiplayer going like everybody else. It's a great sandbox that can be tailored to your liking.
Someone has probably said this already. According to the wiki (and it's sometimes mentioned in the news in-game), Project Zomboid is set in 1993. DVDs were first released for general sale in 1997.
If you read the top bar of a garbage container, you know, where it shows you the weight, you'll see a button that says "Delete All". It will remove all the items in the bin from the world
11:29 "How much blood are you cleaning with water?" Sir, have you ever met a woman that has a heavy flow? Let me tell you, there's a lot a blood coming out of that woman, and if it gets to her pijamas and sheets she's going to have a lot of work getting it out with just water...

I recently made a character based on Steve1989. He's highly tolerable to food illness and can eat basically anything, but I also gave him the smoker quirk since he sometimes smokes ration cigs. You're right, man. It's rough. Not only do cigarettes become extremely rare towards the end-game, but also just finding a lighter/matches took me several in-game weeks. It's beyond me why I can't light one at a damn stove, but yeah, even if I could the eventual lack of tobacco makes the trait impossible to work with. --
Seems to me, with so many towns about, and most humans gone, a smoker's issue would be stale cigarettes. Between gas stations, liquor stores, grocery stores, and cigs in houses or on people /zoms, seems like a massive supply. I'd wonder if stale cigs have less nicotine, I'd also point out nicotine gum and patches.

AND LOOK AT YOU NOW PZ GOAT. I would love to play in a rp server with ya .it would be awsome
Going to try to give this map a try for myself, but I also am probably going to move around furniture a lot. Double walls with crates between them to reinforce the fence, getting a farm up and running, attempting to build watch towers, etc.
Have been playing the map. Took over the same farm and converted the place into a three story bar, set up an irrigated farm out behind the garage, cleared the field, and have organized it. Also turned the former barn into a warehouse.
1:05:46 I’d also say being outright idiots. Its like hey Neagan, instead of threatening those different survivor groups, offer to establish protected routes for them to facilitate trade, unite under the goal of retaking the area, and expand. Got plenty of fertile land to farm, craftsmen to make various goods and provide services, just go from there. Even acquiring a book or even better someone who knows how to make fuel would be beneficial if they grow corn. Even a brewer could do wonders for moral, even a basic moonshiner. If you build up a strong and profitable community, any new group you come across you can argue to them that attacking you would cost them the source of goods and luxuries they might miss from the old world, along with a possible ally.
Authoritarians don't care about things like that. It's about actually consolidating and controlling power and people. They will often let their people starve and die before fixing an obvious mistake or implementing much needed diplomacy. At least, historically that's the case. Never made sense to me. It's just dumb.
@@JimJamTheAdmin The idea is that any luxuries can be made LATER. Food can always be grown LATER, ensuring the people are alive and safe can come LATER, what needs to be done NOW is that "I am in control". The problem with these authoritarians, is that "Later" never happens. They're never satisfied with what control they have, so they keep focusing on the "Now", until eventually everyone dies and NOW there will never be a "Later" ever again.
0:54 one of the funniest things I've seen you do. Also I'm not sure but the youtuber who AA is talking about, the architect who lives in the woods, he might be talking about Mr. Chickadee.
Been watching this Amphibian beauty for years now, and watching longplays is.... perplexing. You've played this game for years now, and still you manage to run around with dirty bandages on for DAYS when you have perfectly clean and running water. The health icon is shaking like crazy, and you keep damaging your character with insane overencumbrance. Still.... you survive it all. I love it, but it's also infuriating
Lol open concept. Was doing the same while watching your video. Removed a stairwell and multiple walls. Decided my second floor would have room with two doors for faster exits then realized its more for asthetics bc they can't get up. Btw I love that if a window is facing a sloped roof you can slide right through to the first floor.
On the topic of Dwarf Fortress, they made another excellent game called WW1 medic. It's an incredibly good game. Once you start to understand the intricacies of the mechanics, you can really appreciate how well made it is.

It's definitely at least as fun to watch as this, as the sheer amount of variety and depth make it way more interesting. Besides, your narration is the reason I'm listening to this too in the first place. :)
54:23 HOLL up, but you CAN take paintings off the wall! I literally scavenge neighborhoods for good paintings to put in base!
“How much blood are you cleaning with water!?” [[women laughing in the distance]]
I was looking for this comment. And while cold water is totally viable for blood on fabric it is only ever one potential step in a process every female learns. We would be scary if we were more prone to violence.
Laughed so hard at the "couldnt you use a club hammer even if your not in a club?" Reminded me of the old Mitch Hedberg joke "I ordered the club sandwich the other day, and I'm not even a member."
Really hope he keeps on with this series, really enjoyed it. Also i think in terms of the base building he should actually build fences and barbed wire defences rather than just the frames.
You just taught me the word pluviophile, and I'll be forever grateful. What a wonderful word.
I’ve been binging all ur videos on the main channel omg. BUT I CANT BELIEVE I HAVENT SEEN THIS CHANNEL, THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOK FOR!!!
I was holding a bowl of cereal when the outhouse zombie appeared and it got me real good
Honestly I think the living in crap houses thing comes from a sense of humility in which you want to not feel like your living how you could
I think you mean humility, or humbleness but I like that word all the same.
@@SineN0mine3 I believe you’re correct, thanks
10:40 I used to feel much better about going to sleep as a kid when our old Kelvinator fridge would turn on, as it made such a deep low hum that it wasn't annoying, and also made you feel at home. Great memory :)
1:12:23 From a cursory search, the very first movie ever to be widely released on DVD was in 1997. The first well-known movie to be released on DVD was Disney's Mulan (the valid one, not the live action piece of garbage) a few years later in 1999.
"Let's get some water, like normal human beings. Ah, it's so good to be a normal human being... And let's also take this body outside"
Erasers can remove marks from maps written in pencil, dish towels are for drying yourself if wet and some rotten foods can be used in recipes after cooking lvl 7, but rotten cakes and pizzas and such are only good for compost. Also part of the placing of things, if you press r you can rotate stuff b4 placing.
I got into PZ recently and I've been addicted. What a fantastic game. I know it won't help AA, now, but if you put items in trash containers, there is a "delete all" button on the top that does just that! I found that very helpful
NOT HATING!
I would appreciate a condensed version of this as well. BTW your narration is is why I watch your videos.
he'll edit it out over the next days
Bruh that couldn't be interpreted as hating at all. That's like saying "I'm not racist but I really enjoy going to the movies"
@@GasGrassOrAssettoI mean, if you were going to see Birth of a nation maybe
Damn. I just stumbled across this fine amphibian, and listening this sweet man musing about the game, life and nostalgia is about as endearing as Garrison Keillor’s ramblings about Lake Wobegon. It inspired me get the game, and it’s amazing. Love this. Never change. ❤
"... tools. The type of stuff you just walk in and grab, with your right hand, off the shelf."
I almost spit out my breakfast.
Expanded Heli Events: Strange Edition and Deadly Fog and insane population and respawns to keep it interesting. Can be over run at any moment. But I like to have armored vehicles for that true nomad experience, permanent bases seem out of date to me, especially with the new Foraging overhaul coming. Storage caches are more my speed.
I'm beginning to find farming useless. Even with food settings on Rare, you find enough rice, pasta and flour to keep you going if you're using fishing and foraging. I guess farming has it's place if you don't like scavenging houses.
A nomad lifestyle sounds pretty good to me
Really you can play this game any number of ways and survive a pretty long time. Looting buildings, fishing, trapping, foraging, etc. And each supports a different play style, that being either supporting a permanent base or encouraging exploration and having a mobile base of operations. I think the most effective play style would be to loot any house you can find early-game, then establish a base and fortify it the best you can. When the base gets overrun from a number of reasons such as a helicopter event, you would have a car stocked with canned food and supplies. I’m not sure what you would do after escaping in a car, but you could either live life as a forager, gathering supplies from nearby towns and constantly siphoning gasoline, or you could settle in the woods and create a quaint cabin. Honestly just try something new
These runs make me very happy.
I've definitely got my "money's worth" out of this game and then a lot more. I hope they get multiplayer going like everybody else. It's a great sandbox that can be tailored to your liking.
Ohh do I have some great news you most definitely know!
@@americantacos7618 Multiplayer RP no life time. :)
Someone has probably said this already. According to the wiki (and it's sometimes mentioned in the news in-game), Project Zomboid is set in 1993. DVDs were first released for general sale in 1997.
14:30 rambling about living in a piece of crap house goes so hard, that's the good stuff i come here for
If you read the top bar of a garbage container, you know, where it shows you the weight, you'll see a button that says "Delete All". It will remove all the items in the bin from the world
3rd time rewatching from the start.
Keep em' coming, dude! :)
The intro with the zombie in the outhouse and the long pause had me rolling!
these are some of the comfiest playthroughs. I love your commentary.
Without power for several hours? Fuck it! 90% phone charge and a 2+ hour AA vod!
AA: posts video
Viewers: *clicks like*
Sometimes it's more enjoyable to watch this man play instead of playing myself.
11:29 "How much blood are you cleaning with water?"
Sir, have you ever met a woman that has a heavy flow? Let me tell you, there's a lot a blood coming out of that woman, and if it gets to her pijamas and sheets she's going to have a lot of work getting it out with just water...
from “we have a way to just completely get rid of things!”
to “that didn’t work at all”
😂😂😂
Amphibian: *spends almost half an hour talking about game devs*
Amphibian: and you know, there's probably some watching right now
Me: *surprised pikachu face*
Can't believe I watched 1 hour without stopping of a man reorganizing objects
Just found this channel and all I have to say is you sound like what I can only describe as a personified embodiment of caramel velvet that midnights as a smooth jazz MC. Cheers, good sir & thanks for the videos.
It makes me so happy you took my name suggestion of Humperdink and its stuck xD whomever suggested Oglethorpe is a beautiful person. Together we helped make a legend of a name.
Watched this while cleaning up my garage for full emersion.
I recently made a character based on Steve1989. He's highly tolerable to food illness and can eat basically anything, but I also gave him the smoker quirk since he sometimes smokes ration cigs. You're right, man. It's rough. Not only do cigarettes become extremely rare towards the end-game, but also just finding a lighter/matches took me several in-game weeks. It's beyond me why I can't light one at a damn stove, but yeah, even if I could the eventual lack of tobacco makes the trait impossible to work with. --
Seems to me, with so many towns about, and most humans gone, a smoker's issue would be stale cigarettes. Between gas stations, liquor stores, grocery stores, and cigs in houses or on people /zoms, seems like a massive supply. I'd wonder if stale cigs have less nicotine, I'd also point out nicotine gum and patches.
Man ur videos are so relaxing and fun, I love it 🙃
Not to ever intrude on what you want to play, but I do miss the FTL streams. I usually only watch the vods here, I might investigate to find more FTL content. Thanks as always for the superb content AA :)
Made a twitch purely to watch your streams and I was lucky to catch this one the other day, glad to see it on yt as well 😄
Speaking of self imposed rules: whenever I play burglar characters, to counteract being able to Hotwire cars from day one, I take ALL jewelry. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, money from cash registers, all of it. 💪😤
Amphibian, you are a national treasure, please keep doing what you like doing, cause we like watching these
Thanks for paving a path of understanding on pz wen i fund this game i was simply immersed and couldnt survive for the life of me . edited a few vids of me dying horribly but then i found you an simple tips and tricks ... AND LOOK AT YOU NOW PZ GOAT. I would love to play in a rp server with ya .it would be awsome
It still amazes me that this game is still being developed. I remember following the development of it when I started my old job around 2004/2005.
Interior Decorator tries to survive zombie apocalypse
Just here to drop a like, will watch after work.
Ayeee that’s why I’m here😂😂
I am the same has you the diference is that im going to watch after school and work
Jokes on you I’m just gonna watch WHILE at work
@@pixelsNpints boss makes a dollar, you make a dime that’s why you watch ambiguous amphibian on company time
Going to try to give this map a try for myself, but I also am probably going to move around furniture a lot. Double walls with crates between them to reinforce the fence, getting a farm up and running, attempting to build watch towers, etc.
Have been playing the map. Took over the same farm and converted the place into a three story bar, set up an irrigated farm out behind the garage, cleared the field, and have organized it. Also turned the former barn into a warehouse.
1:05:46 I’d also say being outright idiots. Its like hey Neagan, instead of threatening those different survivor groups, offer to establish protected routes for them to facilitate trade, unite under the goal of retaking the area, and expand. Got plenty of fertile land to farm, craftsmen to make various goods and provide services, just go from there. Even acquiring a book or even better someone who knows how to make fuel would be beneficial if they grow corn. Even a brewer could do wonders for moral, even a basic moonshiner. If you build up a strong and profitable community, any new group you come across you can argue to them that attacking you would cost them the source of goods and luxuries they might miss from the old world, along with a possible ally.
Authoritarians don't care about things like that. It's about actually consolidating and controlling power and people. They will often let their people starve and die before fixing an obvious mistake or implementing much needed diplomacy. At least, historically that's the case. Never made sense to me. It's just dumb.
@@JimJamTheAdmin
The idea is that any luxuries can be made LATER.
Food can always be grown LATER, ensuring the people are alive and safe can come LATER, what needs to be done NOW is that "I am in control".
The problem with these authoritarians, is that "Later" never happens. They're never satisfied with what control they have, so they keep focusing on the "Now", until eventually everyone dies and NOW there will never be a "Later" ever again.
34:29 I honestly thought that zombie was another player XD It was just moving so fast, but then I saw his game speed was in the second speed option.
I hope someone has already told you, but you CAN cover up big glass windows and glass doors in your house. 1:16:41 you had "Add Sheet" option
Also love all your videos and hope I actually catch a stream sometime
Yeah saw that and saw him miss it lol maybe next time, eh
0:54 one of the funniest things I've seen you do.
Also I'm not sure but the youtuber who AA is talking about, the architect who lives in the woods, he might be talking about Mr. Chickadee.
'Now we dont want any windows to be broken, this house is special to me. I will, however, allow blood to be spilled on the floor.'
That whole monologue about nostalgia was spot on.
This is a really interesting game! With multiplayer there could be a entire clan war!!!!!
P-Zed is like the Sims, but with danger.
Been watching this Amphibian beauty for years now, and watching longplays is.... perplexing. You've played this game for years now, and still you manage to run around with dirty bandages on for DAYS when you have perfectly clean and running water. The health icon is shaking like crazy, and you keep damaging your character with insane overencumbrance. Still.... you survive it all. I love it, but it's also infuriating
Its a good day when AA uploads 😌
Lol open concept. Was doing the same while watching your video. Removed a stairwell and multiple walls. Decided my second floor would have room with two doors for faster exits then realized its more for asthetics bc they can't get up.
Btw I love that if a window is facing a sloped roof you can slide right through to the first floor.
Love the content! Keep up the good work!
"Ahh!! Cigarettes! Perfect for smoking" killed me
On the topic of Dwarf Fortress, they made another excellent game called WW1 medic. It's an incredibly good game. Once you start to understand the intricacies of the mechanics, you can really appreciate how well made it is.
Put items you don’t want anymore on a dead zombie. The items disappear when the zombie does. :)
Nice!
"I don't this" " I don't need these couches." "What is this, a clipboard we don't need this?" "These clothes urgh."
Come to think of it, I don't even need this skin in my personal space
