Project Zomboid Patch 42.1.1 Notes – Jan. 23, 2025
NEW
- Sheet Curtains attached to animated doors are now rendered in 3D, attached to the animated doors.
- Added a craft recipe for Sawing a Plank from a Large Branch.
- Further development of an “InheritFood” inputFlag for craftRecipes.
- This is intended to automate translating all of the food qualities from the appropriate input to the appropriate product(s), such as properly splitting a pot of soup into bowls of soup, with all of the proper nutrition, cooked, poison, old, etc.
- Ideally, for most cases for food craftRecipes, having “InheritFood” on the proper input should produce the desired results without needing an OnCreate lua function.
- Added functionality for an “InheritCooked” craftRecipe input flag.
- If an input with that flag is Burnt, Cooked, or Frozen, according to the code the output should also be Burnt, Cooked or Frozen.
- Added Fire Axe Head item and enabled all of the business with them breaking and being assembled and disassembled like other axe items.
- Added Masonry business vehicles so more Masonry Chisels spawn.
- Added Craft Supply business vehicles so more Clay spawns.
- Added Florist business vehicles because we have pretty flowers.
- Holly trees can sometimes drop Holly Berries when chopped down.
- Updated crafting/clay van texture.
- Added Wooden Spade item and carving recipe.
- Added recipe for crafting Molotov.
- Added the Log tag to Log item, so that it can be used along with other tags in an input.
BALANCE
- Adjusted how trees are evaluated based on their tile definition properties to determine their size and whether they yield logs.
- A distinction was introduced within the smallest class of trees, differentiating between “really small” and “small” trees.
- The really small trees will now drop one Log and a Sapling, bigger trees drop more Logs.
- Revised tree health calculations to account for changes in log yield.
- Note: Players with existing savegames will need to travel to unexplored areas for the “small but not really small trees” to drop logs when chopped down.
- Adjusted weight of the broken branch item from 2 to 1.5.
- Adjusted weight of Money Bundle from 1 to 0.5.
- Large enough pine trees can sometimes drop pine cones when chopped down.
- Large enough oak trees can sometimes drop acorns when chopped down.
- Rebalanced tree chopping yields as excess Large Branches were dropping due to redundant code.
- Crayons can be used to make green marks on the map.
- Lowered base stress from the trailer crash story to avoid Ram/Bull killing players on sight.
FIXES
- Fixed some broken animations when holding 1handed knives. We are aware that there are still issues with overtwisting animations and will fix it soon.
- Fixed Null-ref Crashes on User Machines due to missing Display.capabilities
- Fixed a floating sign at 11657×8375.
- Fixed the CarveShortBat craftRecipe producing a LongHandle.
- Fixed missing craftRecipe for assembling spears from proper spear heads.
- Fixed an error with the improvised flashlight recipe onCreate.
- Added a check to prevent car keys from spawning in explored containers.
- Fixed pathfinding failing going up or down carpentry stairs, as well as an issue with negative world coordinates.
- Fixed vehicles ceasing to operate on the edges of the world.
- Fixed off-by-one issue with which chunks are loaded around vehicles and ragdolls in negative world coordinates.
- Fixed line-of-sight issues in negative world coordinates.
- Fixed alarm clocks not waking up players in basements.
- Fixed dung/feather could spawn on water & other unreachable tiles.
- Limit the numbers of dung/feathers that can spawn according to the animal’s zone size.
- Fixed rotten/stale text on fertilized eggs (they were still considered as fresh, but text was wrong). Hi, Dipper.
- Fixed unequipping animal corpse not dropping them on the ground.
- Added the functions shouldHaveCollision to IsoSprite to try and help prevent inappropriate thumpables from being instanced.
- Related to issues with both teleporting and basements, added safety checks to several functions that set the Z-level for game elements to ensure that they don’t set their Z-level to be below the minimum or above the maximum Z-level of the game engine.
- Fixed error with DebugContextMenu.onTeleportValid.
- Replaced player:teleportTo with getPlayer():teleportTo for non-client teleportation logic in the DebugContextMenu.onTeleportValid function.
- Fixed bugs when teleporting while in a vehicle, which also caused duplications and sometimes trapping players inside cars. Players will now be removed from a vehicle before being teleported.
- Now any time a character in a vehicle teleports, it is funneled through one java function in IsoGameCharacter.java that will properly remove them from a vehicle.
- Fixed the vehicle dashboard remaining on screen when teleporting from within a vehicle.
- Pottery kiln recipes should now accept any charcoal type.
- Fixed Make Improsived Flashlight not consuming the tin can.
- Fixed zombies from ambulance stories not wearing masks. 10% of Ambulance Driver and Doctor outfit zombies will be wearing surgical masks.
- Note that in build 42 10% of Nurse outfit zombies are already wearing surgical masks.
