Hoping for a swift GOG update. I am excited to try the new correction fluid mechanic. Apparently you can sniff it to reduce stress. It's not quite eating wood glue, but close!

I am sure someone really determined will make a mod for that ๐คฃ
There are a lot of other changes and that is something I forgot about, although that feels like something to do once one has their setup in place and have a foothold.
I don't know, but a lot of the new equipment makes me feel like it is something best left to either find a place that has it or build it in a secure compound
Just wanted to share that I've found out about the B42 release from this post :)
Thank you, I do appreciate the acknowledgement ๐
So far, so good; made a new save and the performance improvement is already very noticeable. There's still problems - loading that save will have me stuttering for the first minute - but overall seeing the game run so smoothly on my ancient Sandy Bridge system makes me so hyped for when MP is re-enabled and some mods are ported forward.
The changes to combat are also so obvious in hindsight. Why would working out make my arms sore, but taking the lives of a hundred boids wouldn't? There's going to be way, way more painkiller abuse moving forward than in my previous playthroughs now.
Played a little bit and it feels fresh with the improvements here and there, although takes awhile to get use to.
I also see that they make corpses stink stronger, or at least your character has a moodlet for it, so it requires one to disposes of corpses or at least drag them away
Feels weird to see animals in the world, found some chickens, cows and a rat in the wild
At least on the combat side of things, herbal remedies are probably going to be in big demand, but at least it is easier to lose zomboids as well
Reading stuff is also better as your character reads something and has a "memory" of it, so it now doesn't get consumed on use. Also really like the effort on giving stuff you read some character by allowing one to read pamplets and see newspaper headlines.
I sort of have a potato with a horrible graphics card - stil, need to tweek things to find a nice balance with frames and gameplay - but at least the framerate is consistent, albeit a bit low on my side. But I will say the amount of additional details will be noticable on any machine with a decent setup( in a good way)
Yeah, just good overall with a lot of improvements and there is a lot of things to get use to with all the new stuff to figure out.
