Playing a listen server with my friend, I'm hosting. Whenever I drive a vehicle my friend never sees me driving anywhere and the car never moves on his side but whenever he drives it works.Is this because it's not dedicated? I really don't want to go through the process of making a dedicated server just to fix a bug.

Project Zomboid build 43 JUST released and i decided now was the time to try it out.The moment i loaded in i knew something was different. Not because the game told me, but because a dude sprinted past my house at 3 AM screaming, opened my fridge, dropped a spoon, and then walked directly into a zombie like it owed him money.That's right THERE ARE NPCS WALKING AROUND MULDRAGH AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTE FRICKIN CHAOS GOBLINS.Are they smart? No
Are they functional? Not in a million years
Are they the most Project Zomboid thing to ever happen? ABSOLUTELY YES.Now, why is this actually HUGE?This is just the foundation.
This is the messy, glorious first step towards: Real communities, Betrayals, Trading, Raids, That one NPC who is probably called Billy that WILL get you killed and you WILL remember it forever.Build 43 is the first step towards Project Zomboid becoming the most EPIC zombie game in human history.But now i have to leave to go bash Billy's head in with a rolling pin so smash that like button, subscribe, ring the bell, barricade your windows,

Well, let's look at the roadmap, shall we? This roadmap was created something to the tune of four years ago. Has B42 expanded on crafting? Yes. Did it expand on the balance? ....sort of, more on that later. As for npc's, frankly, no. They later clarified like two years ago that "stage 1 npc's are actually uhm, like, farm animals and stuff!" which - by that metric, sure, they did do that.
But when this roadmap was released it was strongly implied, and thus everyone strongly inferred, that the kinds of npc's being talked about would be something like basic bandits and survivors, or perhaps hostile soldiers that attack the player; expectations set as far back as some of the game's earliest story mode builds. So, five years of development and what did we get?
Crafting overhauls that largely no one cares about and is incredibly frustrating to work with unless you set your server material resources to very abundant (which is still fucking annoying because of weight limits unless you have a whole crew hauling shit back and forth)
Combat changes that almost universally are dogshit because they STILL don't want to fix the real issue with firearms (though they added a noise modifier to server settings so you can fix it yourself jej)
An actually pretty good overhaul of the stealth mechanic so it is now worth using. A lighting system overhaul, better graphics..
And animal husbandry which is janky and shit and not really worth it even for long term survival. Four years. Remember that: four years. I'm repeating myself because it's important.
Four years. Baldur's Gate 3 entered early access and then hit full release before build 42 unstable came out. An entire US presidential cycle came and went. If you started college when this roadmap released, you'd be graduating before build 42 has a stable release (maybe next year fellas!)

There seems to be no mod in B42 to tweak rarity of specific loot, and since I figured it should be rather easy to actually whip something like that up myself (at least hardcoding something for a few items, just for my own use) I got to looking at the lootdistributions you need to mess with.
I get that for example the sledgehammer is essentially a magic tool in this game, which maybe warrants at least a little more rarity from a mechanical standpoint. But looking at the default values you just have to wonder what the fuck they were thinking, like I knew they were rare since in a few hundred hours play time I very rarely see them. I looked at all the distributions that feature the sledgehammer, and its never more than 0.1, an order of magnitude lower than the next most rare item on any of these distributions, but on most distributions its actually 0.01. Never mind "muh realism" as such, but since many things in the game have lets say a realistic flavor, it makes fucking zero sense for something like sledgehammers and machetes to be this absurdly rare, tools you'd surely find in any hardware store or supermarket or tool shed in the 90's.

A relentless deluge of bandits attacked us on the fifth day. I'm not kidding when I say we were fighting all day and night. I got shot to shit and by the afternoon was able to walk around, there's only a handful of survivors left here.
Hopefully all these bodies will stay dead. I have the re-animation mod enabled too..

i wish PZ walls were decent, if you put up a wall made of lumber it should take more than one zombie to tear it down, zombies are not exactly durable, the player can mow them down.
also it should be dirt-simple, like level 1 masonry to stack bricks/cinderblocks/stone without mortar to make a freestanding wall. level 2 to mortar that bitch.
a brick building should be impervious to zombies. go try to punch a brick wall, see how well that works for you.
a thousand hours in this game and i've never put up a metal barricade because it simply requires too much effort to do before i die or get terminally bored.

All you have to do is use a trough for water, literal grass clippings that a scythe can collect by the hundreds, and right click a cow/chicken/etc every once in a while to get comical amounts of milk, butter and eggs
>Option 2: Farming
Need to right click countless fucking things every single fucking day, fertilize, plant in the right season, hope a zombie doesn't stomp your crops flat, etc...All for less calories

The military sent reinforcements, more bandits came, and worst of all, I wasn't able to gather all the bodies to burn them. I got as many as I could, but in the end, pretty much everyone ate shit and now I have to figure out how to get back to the gated off louisville houses nearby and hunker down.

Was an anorexic stripper-turned murder machine.
Died on a book excursion to Lousiville U, because I did not realize the Scrap Metal Cleaver-Axe was a slow 2-hander when I made 4 of them.
Everything went downhill after that.

For a time, the reinforced military presence at the interstate complex had been comforting. Enough soldiers had poured in that the bandit raids were subdued even without the civilians getting involved and fighting too.
Their regular patrols made it feel like, even if something got in, everything'd be okay. I worked hard and dutifully dragged bodies over to a burn pit I'd dug - five in total - then of course, that faggot plane crashed in and obliterated the better half of the southern end of the base, destroying one of the watchtowers and several valuable caches of guns and ammo and medicine. Worse, all the victims both of the plane crash and the damage to the base turned into zombies and got back up to attack. Without any kind of gates or defenses we were overwhelmed, but still made progress. The extensive damage meant that instead of dragging bodies to burn pits, it was alright to just light them up right there and burn them all to death just like that. What really broke everyone's spirit, mine in particular, was what came next though: as soon as it felt like we had a grip on the zombie population, the military began to deliver air strikes despite the fact we were right there. Even the soldiers were getting caught up in the bombing runs. Whatever was left of the police detachment, all the first responders, and that whole line of traffic of people just waiting for their chance to leave was obliterated, just like that. Then, some of the soldiers started to turn - not like the sick, but rather, turning against us civilians. Sometimes a friendly soldier would fight back to protect us, but usually if they weren't attacking us, they weren't attacking their buddies either. And it's not like I could just shoot first, then all the soldiers would turn against me. So I did the only thing I could think of; after scavenging as much as I could from the airplane's wreckage for valuable alcohol and antibiotics and the dead soldiers for their equipment I got in my car and drove off
