@@ARTEMISXIX I can't remember if you can backstab with a fork or spoon, I seem to recall always searching out a pocket knife as my early game weapon, but maybe? I thought they removed/made it significantly harder to backstab, though, and it's pretty easy to just never stab your friend in the back. Remember kids; always stab your friends in the face, not the back!
look buddy, im not bothered to go "outside" to level my combat skills, its quicker if i let the zombies come to me while i put the crickets in the microwave, its just free optimisation.
Veteran PZ Player here, Insects (uncooked) can be really useful for cooking grind (they give off more exp than almost any average cook i've ever done) and plus the added bonus that u can used Cooked insects for fishing bait to level fishing Not only that but you finding insects using the forage mechanic makes you level up that forage as well (making essentially 3 of these skills ez to level as long as you read the books first b4 you gain exp)
So what you're saying is we don't need to eat the bugs, we just have to go through the process of harvesting and cooking them so we can use them to get real food?
Don’t forget to uninstall and reinstall lights, radios, and batteries on a car exactly once per day to level up your mechanics. Twice in one day on the same car does nothing. But if you do it on a different car of the exact same make and model, it somehow still teaches you
People always look at me when i create a zombie body pile and then start ripping all their clothes apart to level tailoring and get thread. Especially in later stages when i stand on a pile of naked zombies happily fumbling with my clothes.
Next is the "Why I was Gone" animation... Kidding haha, we're gonna make videos...animation takes forever...soooo uhhhh frio frijoles mis amigos see you soon!
Want to learn how to taken a car apart? Remove and then install the battery, radio, headlights and taillights. They cannot fail, and you can repeat this process once per day per car. In my MP game, we have some really horrible cars on the parking lot just for this purpose. Also, cooking cockroaches levels up your cooking as well. Update: Get the mod Auto Mechanics. It'll automate the process and do all steps according to which tools you have in your inventory.
I recently lost a part of my soul to leveling up the cooking skill, and I too divulged in the practice of microwaving bugs. Think the ability to eat partially rotten meals came from eating so many microwaved crickets.
Now that you mention it, explaining why you're doing something in Zomboid does make one sound crazy. Welp back to my nacho cheese and strawberry milk soup
Loved the animation!!! A side tip, maybe applying shading smooth on the hair so it edges doesn''t notice that much? would fit nice with the freestyle lineart
People might think that in the background those where zombies but I was told by the Chrispy himself it was just a group of hungry survivors that could smell the cooking crickets
Oh please, who needs rotten food when you have mother nature's bounty (and the trait to see what's poisonous)? Genuinely, it and a steady supply of water, and you just stew your way to survival.
I really appreciated you naming creators that inspired you, this video was funny as hell, definitely gonna watch more and probably check out those other people, only really know Noodle ^^
I hope you enjoy some of them! If I can share their creativity and videos with others to maybe inspire more people to animate or even for them to find new people to watch then I'm more than happy to do it! Especially because these animations I'm making wouldn't even exist if it weren't for them, so I appreciate you noticing them! Have a good one, and thanks for the support!
This made my day! I'll definitely keep it up, thanks for the support! 😎 If you like the style I'd recommend checking out animators like FunkE, Krugston, Joey Carlino, and Doodly to name some. Most of my inspiration for this came from them!
Imagine the head chef of a famous expensive restaurant gets pulled aside for an interview. "So how did you become so good at cooking?" "I read a few books and microwaved hundreds of crickets every single day, then one day I could just make the best food known to man."
"Hey man, did you notice every piece of furniture on the map despawned?" "It didn't despawn. I needed to get to level 4 and I couldn't find the skill books" "...you could have just made spe-" "DO YOU WANT RAIN COLLECTORS OR NOT!?"
i was hellbent on leveling my electrical all so i could take an oven to add to my base and i spent hours dismantling any and all wall clocks within a 47mile radius to get the most minimal xp and i got jumped and killed by 3 zeds while doing so
Considering how many ancient dishes involve intentionally letting food rot, if you got good enough at cooking you probably COULD find ways to make it edible.
My yearly longplay character going to the motels in the spawn towns with a screw driver, hammer, saw, welder mask, and blow torch to dismantle literally everything in the building to grind carpentry/electrical/metalworking: Since knowledge is good Carpentry:beds, sofas, recliners, desk, table, counters, doors, wooden chairs, wardrobes. Can go from. 0-7 max carpentry which is enough to make the big rain barrel/stairs/tier 3 walls. Metalworking:washer/dryer and metal shelves in the laundry room/closets, metal cabinets, sinks, bathtubs, toilets, ovens, microwaves, metal cabinets/tables, vending machine and the garbage cans/dumpsters. Can go from 0-5 metalworking which is enough to make all the scrap armor/weapon/gun modded weapons Electrical:lamps, tvs, payphones in the lobby/outside of motel, the vent hoods above ovens, coffee maker, radios and the lights. Can go from 0-2 electrical which is enough to hotwire cars at electrical 1
@@ChrispyCheerios depends on the motel on the rates you get. The best motel to do it at is the big one on the muldraugh highway/riverside suites in riverside but imo it's not enough of a difference to spawn in one of the other spawn towns then head there to just dismantle that motel. The first floor business/second floor apartments in rosewood/West point are also a good area to get a lot of crafting skills exp but I usually head here after the motels in the town get ransacked. Also I always play with fast learner, you might get a level or two worse of rates if you are taking slow learner/not talking fast learner. At this point in zomboid career, I just tag fast learner for 6 to get a boost to everything instead of taking gymanist for nimble and forgoing fast learner. If you stay in the spawn town anyway, the zombies in most of the cells should stay around the first week population until you head on a looting trip outside the city. Once you are out of the spawn town for more than three days, the spawning mechanics will finally update and go "Oh crap, he's on day 50 so he should of reached peak population on day 28 but we are still giving him the same day 1 zombies" and update it. That's why the spawn rate goes so insanely high upon your return even with zombie respawn off.

make another one for leveling up "maintenance", you can level it up if you just keep pushing doors while holding an item, so neither of those lose durability and you can just afk constantly pushing the door with whatever item you hold

Carpentry sucks so much to level up oh my god
Not as much as tailoring

Just think of it as tidying up the mess that was left behind. Community service in the zombie apocalypse.
Don't forget to take off your shoes and stand on broken glass, bearfoot to level up your medicine
LET ME TRY THAT IN REAL LIFE
HOLD ON, I WILL BE RIGHT BACK
@@RaTcHeT302 NOOOOO 😢

don't ever do this. Medicine is a mostly pointless skill and all you do is risk your survivors life for really no gain.

My method for leveling medic was to gently stab my friends with a fork or spoon while they read books, so this seems pretty tame.
I never thought to try that...I now have a new skill to level when they log on XD
that genuinely seems terrifying to me since aren't forks considered short blade (hence capable of one shotting with a crit)

God damn right
How many more crickets do you need “yes” is such a real answer
Classic two types of personality when faced zombie doom. Always freaked out and just rolls with it.
the fact this got re-tweeted by The Indie Stone themselves I feel it deserves more views! especially with the unique style
I didn't even know they did this until right now! Thanks for telling me, definitely just made my day!
I appreciate the support!
This is amazing, the 3d art style fits well with project zomboid.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Looking to make more as we get farther in the game
"How many more crickets do you need?"
*YES*

The level up noise does come out of nowhere sometimes and has jump scared me in the past 😂
How does something this funny and this comically animated not have more views?
I recently lost a part of my soul to leveling up the cooking skill, and I too divulged in the practice of microwaving bugs. Think the ability to eat partially rotten meals came from eating so many microwaved crickets.
Man this better do numbers. This is beautiful
Don’t forget to take 3 hour jogs around the entire zombie infested neighborhood to level up your sprinting
It actually makes IRL sense if you really good at cooking you certainly can salvage more food than your average joe
Silly Zomboid people
This animation looks so clean.
Let's go!! I'm so down for more 3d animators out here
Yes! I had to join in on the fun
Now that you mention it, explaining why you're doing something in Zomboid does make one sound crazy. Welp back to my nacho cheese and strawberry milk soup

I love this style, it fits zomboid perfectly. I hope you make more stuff like this.
I definitely will! Thanks!
i once considered jumping off a small ledge so i could level up first aid but then i felt like that would be Insane
glass is more efficient, you get lots of exp for pulling out glass, just make sure you have atleast 2 sutures for your feet on hand.
