Project zomboid on steam1/11/2024 ![]() (Elements of this still WIP)ĭRESS UP BOXWe generally don’t populate the map with Mad Max lookin’ zeds, but people certainly seem to like having a little more freedom in terms of the threads you choose to go a hunting and a’ looting in.Īs a side project from his crafting duties, then, Blair has worked with animator Martin to improve the clipping issues folk often come up against with certain combinations of clothing. ![]() Here too you can see them being mixed, and the resulting new colour being applied to the character’s hair. In the following video, then, you see the dyes being transferred to (and used from) any fluid container – whether bottles, cans or buckets. “From there one would work there way up to a blast furnace, for producing steel, and then, with the steel, cast and harden a proper blacksmithing anvil and make an advanced forge, and eventually a metalworking bench for making high quality, precision tools and items.”Įlsewhere, meanwhile, we have been going through the game and converting existing systems to the new fluid mechanics that come as a part of the crafting system.Ī good example of this, as it clearly shows in the end product, are our hair dyes – even if they are relatively cosmetic as far as the game-proper goes. With this you can produce medium-quality iron implements, that benefit from proper hardening and quenching, as well as higher carbon content.” “Eventually you can work your way up to building a proper come kiln, for both making charcoal, and also coke out of the charcoal for steel production, as well as a smelting furnace, and then an intermediary forge and a grindstone. “With a stone hammer and some crude wooden tongs (which won’t survive the process) workable iron is beaten out of the iron bloom, and that iron can be used to produce simple iron implements such as tongs, smithing hammers, nails, and basic masonry tools.” “Once you have smashed them into iron ore, you can dig a charcoal pit, and build a primitive forge and furnace, and use the charcoal to extract an iron bloom from iron ore.“ For now, however, it works for our purposes.) ![]() (ALERT ALERT: we are aware this is quite game-y, and may well refine in future. “Although iron ore outcroppings are more commonplace in games than in real life Kentucky, we have tiles of them, for use for our own forest maps, and maps of modders.“ Steel production from nothing being one of them.” “One conceit of b42 crafting is that you should be able to start on a theoretical all forest map this isn’t a concrete thing that we’re testing yet, but we’re providing foundation for it. Our artists are hard at work making the assets for all the new items needed for this, but otherwise blacksmithing could be considered ‘mostly done’ you could say that all of the design hurdles have been crossed, and we have solved the ‘Riddle of Steel’.” “A lot of work still needs to be done with balancing, as well as getting the fun stuff like animations of the character performing the actions, with fire and smoke. Weapons are an example of where this extra attention is being put into the system, where there are distinct tiers of the basic types, that differ in both appearance and performance.” “In many cases there are multiple tiers of items, requiring better skills, stations and materials to produce, where it serves the game. “Most items that one could reasonably expect to be blacksmithed can be blacksmithed, and in most cases the resultant item is a more rugged, crafted version than the default version of the item that you may be used to.” “For blacksmithing in build b42 we have the tiers, workstations, and materials worked out now most of the crafting recipes have been made as well, and it’s a case where content is being added almost daily as the art assets are completed.” ![]() So let’s head over to Blair to have a chat about the ways in which you’ll be getting to grips with the creation of some of these beauties. CRAFTING STUFFWe’re operating in various different areas with crafting, but the one that’s becoming most interesting and fleshed out with recipes and new items is definitely blacksmithing which has come a long way in the last month.
