30 Little Details you MISSED In Project Zomboid

from incredibly useful to extremely unexpected project is full of little details that are easy to miss like the fact that you can roleplay Hitman and assassinate another player using the hit and poison mechanic if you create a meal with a minimum of three ingredients a new Option will show up in the menu that will allow you to add bleach to the mix this will act as a poison and put any character that consumes it into a forever sleep speaking of unconventional weapons there are seven different guitars you can come across in the game and you can use them to fight off zombies they're actually surprisingly strong but the part you may have missed is the custom sound effect when you smack zombies it sounds like this while you're out looting you'll eventually set up a car alarm this will have every zombie in the area rushing over to check out the action what you may not know is that you can easily turn off the alarm just by removing the car battery all you need to do is open up vehicle mechanics and unscrew it with a screwdriver it'll turn off the alarm in instantly when you're running from zombies hopping fences is a great way to escape but sometimes you get unlucky and Take a Tumble not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but you probably didn't notice that you dropped something when you fell you likely won't even miss it until you find yourself wondering where you lost your glasses the chances of this happening increases if you're tired or overweight speaking of weight exercising is a great way to keep off those apocalypse pounds it'll increase your character's strength and fitness over time you probably already know it'll make you sore the next day but you may not have noticed that the animations also change over time another great way to keep your character healthy is with some fresh protein but don't worry you don't need to go searching for a fishing rod to catch some fish you can make a simple spear with a stick and a kitchen knife then just go out and stab the water with it it's not a bad idea if it works and this will work maybe a simpler way to get healthy food is to go out looting you can find some amazing stuff to feel your pantry maybe grab a second fridge oh and a new bed B would be awesome but don't get too greedy your back can only take so much before you start losing health and you may not know this but you won't survive a fall from a height while over burden now just because it's a zombie apocalypse doesn't mean you need to eat like a Savage carrying around utensils will not only allow you to eat faster you'll get a custom animation depending on which utensil your character uses M now that's how you eat canned soup heating up your food is also not a bad idea and will make your character much happier just remember you're not not supposed to put metal in the microwave you think the developers aren't pedantic enough to include this little detail you'd be wrong and now your base is burned down cooking is pretty dangerous in Project zomboid altogether since forgetting to turn off the oven is another great way to start a house fire at this point I'd suggest raw and prepackaged food just to be safe if you're being kept awake with nightmares of your base burning to the ground you can always take some sleeping pills to help your character relax just remember to take them in moderation if you're too many and your character will go into a forever sleep same goes if you mix sleeping pills and alcohol while we're on the topic of deadly mistakes eating wild berries and mushrooms can be another way to speedrun the game overc screen unless you've read the herbalist manual all the food you'll forage will be unknown and at least half of it will be deadly all the insects are safe to eat though if you can stomach it if you find yourself suddenly damp for some reason outside of combat you're probably wearing too much clothing yep your character will sweat just like a real boy if you let them overheat they'll get thirsty faster but letting them freeze will increase their appetite to help remove some of the dampness you can use a dishcloth to wipe yourself off the cool thing you probably didn't notice is that the rag you used will become wet and useless for a little while you'll actually have to wait for it to dry off naturally before you can use it again we appropriate clothing is severely underrated especially when it comes to wearing shoes which you should be doing anytime you're Outdoors while you can probably get away with walking around Barefoot the second that you run you'll cut up the bottom of your feet and it will suck clothes are not mandatory Outdoors but shoes are speaking of style if you want to keep your character looking sharp you'll need to hunt down a razor and some Scissors Hair is not a set and forget thing in Project zomboid it'll grow out over time and you'll be rocking a Shaggy aesthetic if you don't pay attention to it keeping your base nice is a full-time job during the zombie apocalypse especially when they Undead Breakin leaving a huge mess of blood inside your home you may not know this but you can actually clean off the blood splatter from your walls and floor all you need is some bleach at a kitchen rack finally a non- nefarious reason to use bleach you can even replace the windows that the zombies break but for this you're going to need to find a crowbar a hammer and level up your carpentry to level two once you meet the requirements you can pick up the whole glass with the pickup menu it takes some work but it's worth it to keep your base pristine also if you like your next door neighbor's floors better than yours no problem you can tear it out and install all it in your house instead for this you'll need a hammer and just one level of carpentry no more crappy floors for you and it works for carpet now leveling carpentry while useful is a mission that can take some time but what do you do if you need water and don't have the skills to build a rain collector you may not know this but you can just leave some containers outside cooking pots paint buckets even coffee cups will work you just got to wait for it to rain and they'll all fill up you can even get water directly from a puddle when it rains if you find yourself out and about in rainstorm just click on the puddle and you can wash yourself drink from it or use it to fill up a water bottle just remember it's tainted water so it can kill you if you are planning to go for a walk in the rain don't forget to take an umbrella you don't have to use everything as a weapon just equip it a secondary and select open then you can use it normally to Shield you from the rain another handy detail to know is that you can use water to disinfect bandages specifically boiling water just throw them into a cooking pot bring it to a boil and boom you you have sterilized bandages ready to go and you didn't waste any alcohol in the process and while we're on the topic of boiling things don't overcook your food since eating burnt food will kill you faster than the zombie virus not sure why but it's unreasonably deadly a much safer option is just to eat ice cream did you know that if you have a tub of ice cream a cone and a spoon you can make an ice cream cone if you have some fruits or chocolates you can even decorate it to make it more tasty if at the end of the day you do manage to cook a nice meal don't forget that you can use bowls to separate big portions into smaller ones it's much easier than carrying around a giant heavy cooking pot and you can refrigerate The Leftovers once you're done with something however you can actually delete it from the world completely by using a trash can just drop it in and select delete all at the top make sure you do this with all the bird food you forgot about if you find yourself looting a cop car you'll be surprised to find that you can't move between the front and the back seats without getting out of the car this isn't in a bug the developers thought about and actually included the police divider while we're on the topic of cars driving is not the simplest task in project zomboid but if you're planning a long trip there is a hidden feature to make it smoother you can turn on cruise control just like you would in a real car to activate it hit shift W and then press s to turn it off at any time just keep an eye out for abandoned cars in the middle of the road while you do this lastly and this one is my favorite if you sprint and then accidentally hits something it looks hilarious remember you need to actually Sprint using alt to experience this for yourself not the regular shift run well worth doing just for the laugh bonus you can use the game's Unique Mechanics to build a hidden Bridge or base out in the middle of the water for this to work you'll need a hammer some planks and Nails a bag of dirt and a single level of carpentry once you have your haul make your way to the nearest river and build a wooden floor right over the top of the water when the time comes to cover it up just pour some dirt over the top it'll blend in perfectly and remain usable I have some new and exciting stuff planned for the channel hit that subscribe button if you came to see it thanks for watching
