    I’ve been looking forward to this. I hope the game continues to improve, I have spent a lot of time in it.

    As any Zomboid player knows, you either play for 5 minutes or 500 hours, there is no inbetween.

    I’m currently playing a character that’s been alive for nearly 6 months. My fridge is full of fish and I’m only like a level 5 on fishing. Won’t need to learn hunting for awhile but this will be great for characters that reside further away from a body of water.

    I gave it a shot today and made my base in a Gas Station in Echo Creek. All the effort going into prettying it up makes it a lot more satisfying to play

    Can’t manage to start an actual game on SteamDeck yet, they did mention that controller/SteamDeck support wasn’t quite there.

    I get into the menus but can’t quite get past the traits screen. They will fix it, maybe sooner?

      Build 42 unstable right now, is more single player until they iron out everything for a stable release.

      I would say if you don’t mind playing build 41 until they release build 42 stable - then short story long:

      I can be fun with friends, but if you want to play without having to worry about too much grind then it is best to play with sandbox settings and tweak gameplay towards what you and your friends find fun.

      The world can made persistent, but your individual character is unique and when they die you would have to respawn with a new character

      There are mods that do help with the starting out from scratch bit:

      The sandbox settings are very flexible (and mods can make it even more so) and you can even play in a world without zombies if you wish
