Part of this is that TFP extended the zombie reach so they can still hit you while you can hit them. Which means that they have a reach of around 2.5 blocks. Which is absurd. But it prevents players from using the reach of the spear and some other weapons to hit zombies with effective impunity. There is a mod that reduces zombie reach back to more reasonable distances. And the animations aren't always synced up with what you see. Especially in multiplayer on a server. On single-player games it is better, but still not perfect. Too many other things can override or interrupt the zombie animations, so even though they don't look like they are swinging, the game still processes that swing.
@V0S1N0 by Pd do you mean the drone? When drone hp goes to 0 it deactivates and goes to the ground. To recover it you can either hold down the interaction button and select repair with a repair kit in your inventory or you can also repair her from your inventory. If you can't repair her then you can also open her inventory, take everything and then pick her up like a bicycle. The drone takes damage from cop and mutated projectiles hitting her. I think explosions also damage her.
Now you have all vehicles built. When you respec you can use a lot more skill points to focus in to the Strength tree. That tree should have a lot of useful skills to help the Baton.
I agree that all trees should be more balanced because you cannot play the game efficiently without points in almost every tree. In single player anyway.
This is by far the best playthrough yet. He has learned so much, finally come around to the best weapon in the game. I can't wait for the club only playthrough!!! No perma death, it would be over way too fast... instead he should have to give high praise to the might stun baton each time he dies)
I am trying to figure out why he keeps waking sleepers with missed power attacks. It's way better to get the stealth bonus on the primary attack than waste the bonus multiplier waking them up with a missed power attack? And then sneaky cats would become a handy candy choice.
8:25 I get those ghost strikes all the time. TFP keeps taking the best parts of the game from us and gives us... prettier graphics and zombies that can smack you in the nose without an animation.
Day 32, no deaths yet. You've done 3 horde nights, your max tier weapon, a gyrocopter and multiple bases (just in case you have to nuke one). Pretty sure you have some backup batons kicking around in them too. Dude, you're sitting pretty!
With all the complimenting skills for the baton, you can use power hits much more often than you are, I’m using a tier 5 pipe baton atm and almost never use normal hits without issue
says he wants to make a workbench, immediately starts scraping nails when he needs 100. Also I never sell anything if I might want the part you get from scraping it. The part usually costs more that what you can sell the item for.
Imagine Jawoodle giving the trader a hard time when suddenly the trader threatens to tell trader Jen about what a bad customer he is... Just a mention of trader Jen by one of the other traders might spark a fun reaction
Josh check out the Sony Alpha a7 III with a Sigma 24-70 lens. Crazy good quality but not too crazy expensive. But if you want something a bit more budget the Sony A640 with the Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens.
Maybe in a next or future series you can add "seasons" like every 3 days or so to switch randomly the biomes, like starting in the pine forest and then changes to the wasteland and after that to something else :D
So you went out of your way to get an away base with an amazing view and then you thought "Let me make a box with no windows... who needs the view". As a sidenote, natural lighting would be great up there because there is nothing to cast shadows. I'm glad you thought about windows near the end but that historically does not mean you will remember to do it. put in some windows ya muppet.
I prefer to play in the winter biome myself. Bit more of a challenge. Maybe that is your next game challenge, a 100% winter map with no missions and a lower loot level like 50-75%. Also do you ever use the BDUB vehicles mod?
If you are going Davinci resolve editing software you might want to consider the Blackmagic design line of video hardware the studio camera and the ATEM.
I *loathe* that forward stagger lol that's not how intertia and momentum work! If I blast a zombie with a sledgehammer, they should be stumbling back with the imparted momentum of my strike, never forward as though I hooked them like porkie pig gettin yeeted off stage left with a comically overlarge shepherds crook!
He did that back when they were first introduced......TFP immediately patched it out and made it so the flame pipes fire does almost no damage to the zombies.
Instead of a table under the campfire, I find it much more efficient to use a storage box. I don't have to look for stored food; it's under the place I cook my food. When it begins to fill up, I put a storage box on top of the campfire, and use that one for drinks and drink mats. Just throwin' that out there for your consideration.
As he says all the time. Cosmetics matter above all else haha that’s why he normally puts a vent on top of a camp fire and forge simply because that’s what he does
Hey Josh guess who's back yet again! Anyways, good news! I found an even more shite weapon to do a playthough with, even worse than a Baton! *Drum Roll* The Torch Only run! That's right, it never breaks, it light the way, it even sets Muppets on fire (add Gups fire mod, and your included :D )! It just has no tiers, no upgrades, not able to be modded, crap stats, and no perks that help (Firefighter Almanac is your only boost lol) and means fighting the apocalypse with nothing but a flaming stick! To go with this, your not allowed to use other light sources such as lanterns, helmet or weapon lights, or lightbulbs in your base, just torches (Here screamer screamer screamer) which do stack, and free to use to light the way. I suggest using something like Mean Ones Darkness mod for this as well, or maybe a sequel to Eclipse? Its been sinec Alpha 19 since we had that awesome series. BTW, I'm gonna keep uping your engagment till i get your response. Cheers mate 🍻
Is he not using biker outfit yet on his quests? Being able to endless spam heavy for twice as many charged baton swings and getting zombies to dismemberment HP threshold sooner is just better right?
best at this game eh then why don't you and your trusty stun baton go out and say hi to a dire-wolf lol since your in the winter biome and that's where you met the dire-wolf first pretty sure a few will say hi to you soon enough lol
Josh, please extend your landing pad before you yeet yourself off of a skyscraper. It would be hilarious for sure, but I'd rather not have you die in this series.
I firmly believe by the end of the game , Josh will finally say ... I am sorry to everyone in the comments , the stun baton is the best weapon in the game period. No IFS, ANDS, or BUTs
I don't think its the weapon. The only thing going for it is the perks. IMO, if you have to max out intellect, then the baton skills, then physician just to make it a good weapon, it isn't a good weapon. Thats a lot of extra skill points that can go into different skills that has to be sunk into the entire intellect tree. I'd rather use a club or knives, then have skill points for other perks.
@@Andy-vh2ue - You can say that about all the weapons. Even without a single book or skill points, the Stun Baton is one of the earliest found iron-tier melee weapons, does the same damage as the Baseball Bat, swings faster, uses less stamina, and also gets the regular DoT/Electrify proc (which ups its effective damage/swing considerably).
@@heliumphoenix thats debatable. I personally view it as a flawed and imcomplete weapon tier. You dont have to max out strength or agility to have a viable weapon like you do batons. If you have to max out physician to have a shot against rads, and smack them 100 times waiting on a 10% roll, it isn't viable. You have to max out intellect, the baton perks, the speed of the baton perks, plus physician. In any other skill tree, you have one less set of perks to have a viable weapon, which IMO, makes it usable if you want to sink all your points into it, but if you want clubs, you'll have way more skill points left over for anything else.
@@Andy-vh2ue - No, it isn't. The stats are clearly in the config files. It is viable from the beginning, and only gets more powerful as you spec into it. You don't have to "max out" any more than you do in ANY tree. Don't max Strength, Pummel Pete, and have all the perk books? You'll run out of stamina in 4 power swings with that Steel club. Rads will then eat you. The only thing that is "debatable" here is whether or not any individual playstyle is suited to using a given weapon. And the nice thing about intellect is that those "other" perks are also beneficial in OTHER ways, whereas most of the other skill trees are much more narrowly focused, resulting in even more points being spent in other trees.
@@heliumphoenix you totally didn't get the point of what I am saying. Keep your baton, I'd rather go with a steel club which outclasses the stun baton, unless you max out physician and rely on perks. Like you mentioned, its on par with a bat, a midtier weapon. Unlike everyone else, I don't care how anyone wants to play. Everyone in here has been saying, but you gotta have the perks. I never run max physican in any playthrough, I get the one point and thats it. I still have the rest of those points for mining, farming, whatever, instead of sinking them into physician.
hey josh i think you could make really good use out of the mod that heals you when you attack. you are taking so much dmg lately that it could save you some first aid for diceier situiations.
muppet josh still not realizing 1.0 storage does not require nails
lol... also chanting '1.0' when his screen clearly shows 1.1
Gotta love it.
I have also notice the large amount of time zombies can hit you despite being staggered/knocked down or even too far to hit you
It's annoying, especially when they're on the ground, facedown, and they get a hit.
Part of this is that TFP extended the zombie reach so they can still hit you while you can hit them. Which means that they have a reach of around 2.5 blocks. Which is absurd. But it prevents players from using the reach of the spear and some other weapons to hit zombies with effective impunity.

Woodle's next series: The zombies are replaced with stun batons
Or, hear me out, the zombies are replaced with toilets, who are all carrying stun batons.
@@markgrygielewicz8047 Hitting the Demos flusher makes it explode porcelein, murky water and discarded stun batons all over the place.
16:40 how dare you say she doesn't do enough for you when you unload into her all the time!
I still can't find anyone who can explain why his PD has armor and why it is taking damage or even what would happen if it took too much damage.
@V0S1N0 by Pd do you mean the drone? When drone hp goes to 0 it deactivates and goes to the ground. To recover it you can either hold down the interaction button and select repair with a repair kit in your inventory or you can also repair her from your inventory.

@29:31 "landed on the light that I didn't bloody see..." hmmm couldn't see the light, it's a good thing you aren't Carol Anne... :)
This is by far the best playthrough yet.
He has learned so much, finally come around to the best weapon in the game.
I can't wait for the club only playthrough!!!
No perma death, it would be over way too fast... instead he should have to give high praise to the might stun baton each time he dies)

it’s genuinely really nice seeing Woodle a happy boi :)
8:25 I get those ghost strikes all the time. TFP keeps taking the best parts of the game from us and gives us... prettier graphics and zombies that can smack you in the nose without an animation.
Hopefully not, but I've always regarded when games choose graphics over gameplay, that's typically the beginning of a deathspiral.
Day 32, no deaths yet. You've done 3 horde nights, your max tier weapon, a gyrocopter and multiple bases (just in case you have to nuke one). Pretty sure you have some backup batons kicking around in them too.
Dude, you're sitting pretty!
Holy hell, @14:35 when you jump up on the rail my stomach did that “falling” thing, as I would have bet a year’s pay you were going over. 🤣
The hit while staggered thing 100% HAS GOTTEN RIDICULOUS.
That baton is still doing some work honestly... It's so satisfying watching you yeet them off the ledges 😁
That's Josh for ya , always playing with his baten . 😅
G'day all, lets get us some JaWoodle fun
With all the complimenting skills for the baton, you can use power hits much more often than you are, I’m using a tier 5 pipe baton atm and almost never use normal hits without issue

Also I never sell anything if I might want the part you get from scraping it. The part usually costs more that what you can sell the item for.
Fun Fact: Both the Arctic and the Antarctic are deserts, so it likely snows in the desert more often than it rains.
Imagine Jawoodle giving the trader a hard time when suddenly the trader threatens to tell trader Jen about what a bad customer he is... Just a mention of trader Jen by one of the other traders might spark a fun reaction
Its the little things that make Woodle a cut above. Fuel and fire indeed.
@25:30 watch the Fun Pimps drop the next update in the next week bringing weather back

Nice mate. Thanks Josh, cheers cobber. Bless.
Maybe in a next or future series you can add "seasons" like every 3 days or so to switch randomly the biomes, like starting in the pine forest and then changes to the wasteland and after that to something else :D
Ha ha ha I just love to watch you play with your baton! omg I just laughed really hard sitting here alone .... rofl
Nicely done 👍
Agree, definitely seem to get hit a lot more by something other than the zombie's hands cause they are nowhere near me.
Needs cloth walks over cloth piles 😂 typical josh 😆
You should do a Construction site series!
Thanks Josh
i for the life of me cant fly that copter
You should keep an extra stun baton on you that way when you can get one charged up ready to go and another one to use.
So you went out of your way to get an away base with an amazing view and then you thought "Let me make a box with no windows... who needs the view". As a sidenote, natural lighting would be great up there because there is nothing to cast shadows. I'm glad you thought about windows near the end but that historically does not mean you will remember to do it.
put in some windows ya muppet.

That's my favorite biome for the visibility factor, the higher loot level is a bonus.

Is it possible to see a video of using the broken flame pipes in some poi as a horde base defense?
He did that back when they were first introduced......TFP immediately patched it out and made it so the flame pipes fire does almost no damage to the zombies.
You put the storage box right in the middle of the landing pad.
What a donut.
Instead of a table under the campfire, I find it much more efficient to use a storage box. I don't have to look for stored food; it's under the place I cook my food.

I do this all the time.
As he says all the time. Cosmetics matter above all else haha that’s why he normally puts a vent on top of a camp fire and forge simply because that’s what he does
a campfire on top of a flimsy Ikea wooden end table seems like such a bad idea...
I use the same method over the workbenches, forges, etc. Having the relevant materials just above the working space is super handy.
@@montecarlo1651 I do the same thing, although I may try out the wireless crafting mod.
Upgrade the storage for more space.
I was wondering what you were talking about with the nails for storage.
i looked down
Woodle-Time!!!
Zombies be throwing pimp slaps... a radioactive zombie pimp bit you....
Says at the end that he needs more wood for upgrades, after passing so many pallets and piles of plywood all over the POI 🤣🤣
Hey Josh guess who's back yet again!
Anyways, good news! I found an even more shite weapon to do a playthough with, even worse than a Baton!
*Drum Roll*
The Torch Only run!
That's right, it never breaks, it light the way, it even sets Muppets on fire (add Gups fire mod, and your included :D )!

I've started using "pelican" as a descriptor for idiots, and I'm not even Australian. It is entirely Josh's fault.
Need to use the Nerd Tats more now. a lot more rad's
"Afterlife" i sense : )
Is he not using biker outfit yet on his quests? Being able to endless spam heavy for twice as many charged baton swings and getting zombies to dismemberment HP threshold sooner is just better right?
Put a previous gen cell phone on a tripod pointed at your face and run OBS remote to send the camera video to your main OBS session.
What an absolute gallah, still thinks storage crates needs nails 😂
Cheers everyone!
Solar bank Josh, hugh had a solar bank
It's been awhile since I used that for a base but unless they changed it that thing can crumble like a wet sock.
Cheers big ears everyone.
Your first aid heals more now
Morning ALL!
1.1, 1.1, 1.1 :)
Carry a secound stun baton thats always charged
Can you link the mod you are using to make it where once you unlock a POI door it's functional for the user? Please?
MaWoodle doesn't watch this Muppet Show?
you LOVE the stun bAton. its your wife now
you go on holidays with it
its your dream
of a dream
xx
I don't see where I can set the amount of claim blocks. My game only lets me have one
the elgato facecam is a decent camera, but a bit on the pricier side.
It's not 1.0, is 1.1 now
best at this game eh then why don't you and your trusty stun baton go out and say hi to a dire-wolf lol since your in the winter biome and that's where you met the dire-wolf first pretty sure a few will say hi to you soon enough lol

5:14 what did he yell about son of a bitch something or other😂😂😂
so you didnt tell your mother you play with a sizzling stick and record it ?
