Will be updating to 42 at some point in the future. PZ is my favorite game.

for the love of god please make it to build 42

You could do this again and again in small increments, the party you're following dwindling in numbers, gaining affection for a protagonist through journals and once you've reached the final destination, finding them specifically and a final entry. With this, it rewards you with a well barricaded medical facility or already cultivated farmland at the hunting cabin. Right now you get a reward of a lot of loot, but due to the time it takes to get to the location, especially from the hunting cabin, it's redundant because you'll likely be loaded up when you get there.
I was also thinking that the inverse rewards would be a good way to link the two stories. Perhaps your cousin who you contacted over ham radio was the driver who ended up in a coma and was unable to pass the message along.

I like these a lot, if you have any other ideas I'd like to play them.

I have a suggestion, if you don't mind.I was expecting to find more journals when I reached the farm, which would lead me to another location and so on until I reached the hunting cabin for the final message and reward and inversely for the scenario if I started at the cabin. For example, maybe one of the rooms in the top floor could have a rope ladder on it, implying that some of your family escaped and you can only find the location once you've cleared the house. For this you could climb up the rope ladder to clear the house-top down, or take the usual "un-barricading" approach. I also thought a neat bit of environmental storytelling would be a description of a few cars your family members own in the diary and when you reach the house, one of your family members is dead next to a car that is broken, implying they successfully escaped the house but did not make it off the property.

Update

but rly, will there be build 42 update? love ur mod <3

build 42 update? please!

Agree, can't wait for 42 update for this

Can't wait for B42 update!

Hopefully this mod will be updated for Build 42, it is one of my favorite mods. Please, when possible, I would love you to update it :)

Thanks, glad you like them.

These were super cool. Glad to see someone doing more stuff with the challenges. The environmental things in particular were quite clever.

Looks like a mod conflict.

Hi I think this mod is super cool but whenevever I attempt to launch a new game with it zomboid tells me to check my log files and exit to desktop. Would you happen to know how to fix it? I will post the error below. The debug log has this error. Thank you.

WICK GRIMES!

exactly what i was looking for, vanilla spawn kinda dumb

Fires have broken out and the first responders are quickly loosing control. Fearing the worst you think to yourself, should I stay in place as the news told me, or prepare to escape the town to the next one over feebly thinking it hasn't reached there yet. And Zomboid begins. Fight or flight make your choice. But should you make it to the next town it is clear, your town suddenly becomes very small as it becomes clear this wasn't a quarantine, but a global nightmare from which you were not prepared for.

Scenario idea: (inspired by fallout 4 start - sort of): It was 3am you were asleep. Insomnia took hold and you wrestled for sleep tossing and turning for hours. Finally giving in, you go out to the living room to watch TV to wind down the insomnia, flipping to the news, it turns out an alert has been established for your town to be quarantined due to a necrotic virus turning people into well..zombies. Thinking this was a bad joke, you finally feel tired enough and go back to sleep. Within the next hour explosions and what sounds like a riot can be heard outside. You go to look out of your window to see people looting and fighting each other.

@TheoryOfMadness in the hospital scenario could you add a mask to the character on spawn? I'm using the mod Susceptible Corpses and this messes up the start. For immersion maybe uncle rob put a mask on the player before off-ing himself.

Very well done, this mod is very good. The only thing what it lacks for me is better writting and some zombies both in the cabin, and hospital scenario doesn´t react to guns sounds, they just eat without noticing at all.

Awesome mod, hunting cabin scenario is a hit

New scenario posted

Thanks, hope you enjoy it.

This is really neat. It's like a spin-off of CDDA. Might give this a go sometime.

Posted a new version. Hospital scenario is even more interesting now.

@Pakal82 You can find it under Challenges in Solo

I signed up for the mod and activated it... but I can't get it to work. suggestions???

@Ilkankus Not this first one. Good idea. Will put it on the list

@e3ve3vef I like it!

Scenario Idea:

You were involved in a car accident when a zombie walked in front of a nearby car, and you woke up inside a hospital, But something was off. The power has been off for a while now, and you are in pursuit of finding your family after what you suspect is a family member writing on a notepad; "Find us at Cheryl's house down in Rosewood. We are waiting." You are tasked with the mission of making it out of Louisville, and getting to your aunt Cheryl's house before it is too late. Find out what had happened to the world along the way, Is your family alive? Hell, did they ever get out of the hospital before things went to shit? Only one way to find out. You grab whatever you can in your hospital room and remind yourself of what you have to do.

Do these go well with 10 years later theme? if not can we get a version for 10 years later? thanks.

Great ideas. Thanks.

Idea: You’re the last one standing, they got to you and your friends. Now you’ve barricaded yourself somewhere(maybe a louseville skyscraper) and have to escape because they could get in at any moment.

meaby one where in the police station there are several bodies of dead police officers and some infected with several weapons without bullets or broken on the ground

Appreciate the idea.

scenario idea : you are in an car you are an armed survivor but are being overrun by an horde!
