Also logout and back in, and run the jd clear command (pickup the drone first!). It has helped me, although it seems to happen repeatedly now. I'm over level 100 and 90+ days, so I guess it's time for a new game anyway.

There is a mod, I haven't tried it because it sounds like a kludgy hack, but it's out there, I think on Nexus. Otherwise you just have to suffer with it.

Maybe I just had better luck then. I mean it doesn't even have to be in a T5, T3s it was happening to me a lot. Hey! Who moved this to support? This was a general discussion rant. Not like I am expecting anything to be resolved 😛

Yeah, much as I hate to admit it, and maybe the way it was implemented sucked (because you had to have guns to combine with other guns to fix your gun and also the way performance degraded as the item wore, which also sucked) lately I think it would give more purpose and reason to keep scavenging if the stuff eventually needed to be replaced. As I go through T6 quests and I'm like "Oh, cool, another ql6 sniper rifle. I'll put it in the chest with the others." I honestly don't know why I pickup anything besides construction materials & lead (because junk turret ammo) at this point.

I don't remember where, when the drone was introduced, I remember praising it as the best companion out there. It just worked. It followed. It stayed out of the way until needed. WTAF! I mean who went and broke it and why? When I need it, It is constantly getting stuck and @%$#ing off or humping a random wall, I feel like especially at the final loot room, when I need it most, it is no where to be found. Otherwise it is in my face. If I am trying to build it is where I want to place a block. If I am trying to plant seeds, it is guaranteed to be in the fields. Then there is the just getting lost and I don't realize until I am like 2k away and the console pops up full of errors and then I have to go through all kinds of @%$#ery to get it back or just try to remember what I had on it and cheat in replacements. This also is seeming to happen more and more frequently as the length of the game progresses. Is it just me or is anyone else seeing this as well? The thing was rock solid when it was first introduced and now I am starting to feel like it is a liability.

Or we should make a huge outcry, that and the cop vomit.

Oh, I remember. It could suck hard.

Ha! Tis but a flesh wound! Hold still! I'll bite your ankles!

Yeah, some kind of decal/tattoo system. I mean it's kinda neat in PZ to go look for your stuff. "Well it didn't just get up and walk away. Oh...wait...yes it did" OTOH death comes much more frequently in PZ

You sir, are a masochist.

Yeah, and then I am like @%$# everything when I see mailboxes. I mean even now late game and I can be flying overhead in gyrocopter and it's like "OOOh! 4 newspaper stands!" /me crashes into ground

It's because the Amazon delivery guy lived through it and he goes around and restocks all the vending machines since he has no packages left to deliver.

It works for Project Zomboid.

Yeah, absolutely hate that. Since Feycat posted this, I have been more aware of it, and the pushing is noticeable when you are looking for it.

Oh, no, I meant Maharin in particular. Found this old gem of a reply today:

He is still alive and well in late 2023, spamming my notifications!

Ok, once again? That implies we had a previous discussion, I don't remember there being one. I'm not implying anything, I re-iterated what you said. You're the one who has made 3+ posts about how people should and shouldn't talk, and it's a laugh that we should all be subjected to your opinion repeatedly but when one of us presents dissent then you want to wave your hand and say "let's agree to disagree" but sure if you think it's a distraction and are ready to stop talking about it, then I'm all too happy to drop it😛

See alpha 16...

Tact and professionalism??? These are consumers. Customers. They aren't under any obligation for either. While there is a threshold where a customer can become troublesome enough to be cut loose it generally isn't done lightly, none of you would last 5 minutes in most of the places I have worked in the last 35 years if you expect all the customers to blow smoke and sunshine up your arse, especially when they are unhappy. Getting useful feedback isn't about them making it easy for you, it is almost an artform of reading between the lines, and translating their frequent ignorance of how things work or even proper terminology to use.

Yeah, when the horde ends early and I still feel up to it, I start it all over again.

Ok, I guess I wasn't getting it. I was thinking about converting it back, which is what we are forced to do, but using fuel. It would work to just let one pickup the forge as is and maintain its contents. Before someone protests, either way it is unrealistic so that shouldn't be a concern. Y'all who are disagreeing are correct, the rest of us knee-jerked and jumped on a bandwagon, but it is still a major inconvenience if you need to move and there should be a better way.

Ok, good point and I stand corrected, although the resources return still has nothing to do with it one way or the other. Still, some things we can pickup with items in them and they return the items (generator, battery bank, etc) some keep the items (vehicles) and some will not let us pick them up (workstations). Then of course there are the storage crates that you can no longer pickup at all, LCB or no LCB. So regardless it can use some work.

You're not getting it. It's consistent in the ratio of what comes back out. It's the inconsistent UI behavior we are talking about.

Game started rubberbanding on me badly, so I restarted and framerate tanked.
