10 Advanced Tips You Might Not Know in Project Zomboid

What other tips and tricks did we miss in the video? Let me know in the comments below!

If you are playing normal settings, jarring foods is absolutely useless; there's enough Cannes foods around.

Making a back up is a 'careful what you wish for' type deal. No more lost year long characters, but also no more white knuckle moments or need to weigh the odds of every endeavour.
One thing Project Zomboid taught me that you can use in real life is this; if you ever find yourself in a confrontation with a larger, stronger, faster opponent, fall to the ground, crawl at them on your belly, and swipe at their ankle with one hand. This will cause them to fall back as if hit by a freight train before the force of your blow makes them walk backwards in a semicircle. Yeah.

How loud and obnoxious do you want the music? Yes!

Backing up your game before a "risky adventure" is a terrible idea. One of the most important aspects of PZ that makes it enjoyable is extremely high stakes. Take them away, and the game stops being the hardcore survival simulator we all know and love

I never knew you can backup your game. This changes everything for me!
No more discarding progress for my YOLO challenge.

My tip will be camp fire pit. Zombies are going to walk where you basically tell them to. So safest bet is to make a camp fire for the to walk into. With being prepped to bare minimum one camp fire and a lighter and what ever for fuel. No horde can survive. I normally don't use the tactic. Yet if I do i will create a spot and use a car to gather a horde to get them to follow me to make sure I don't burn too much.

If you want to get super advanced you can have a fire extinguisher and do a control burn in a area you want to do the tactic to limit fire spread.

Do not fire guns while driving, you WILL get bit, no matter how good you are. Good tip for passengers though

You can BACKUP YOUR CHARACTERS PROGRESS LIKE THAT-......
sobs in 2 yr character dying last month

you are not supposed to save your game, just saying

Save backup is cheating.

canning is not great when u can't find cans and lids. sugar is better used 2 make cookies which dont spoil. or u can just forage and trap/fish since foraging is more op than farming n ur not stuck 2 a single location wit it.

Always tow vehicles from their rear bumper. That way your towed vehicle takes rear damage from dumb road zeds.

Jarred food doesn't last forever, "just" 60-ish days. And jars are exceedingly rare, plus lids are not reusable. Useless mechanics. I made a modlet that makes lids out of empty cans. Somewhat useful. But, the ultimate food preserver is the mighty ICE freezer 🙂👍
With cooking 10 I cook stir fry with canned meat, cabbage, potato and lard/butter/oils worth 100 hunger and 1500 calories.i need only 500 csl/day from cans and the stir fry in the freezer is good for 6 months.

Fire is usually turned off in MP servers as ppl be stupid and burn everything down

The best way to get your cooking to lvl 7 is 40 egg cartons .. and the books … when the game starts collect as many eggs as possible and open them as you can cook eggs when rotten but you can’t open a egg container that’s rotten

no no no veteran would never use burbon for a molotov,
just craft a fire bomb instead and as im writing this comment i noticed that someone had the same idea sorry for the copy😅

Ehh. That first tip kinda defeats the purpose of Zomboid. There's no real danger if you can just go back to your last save if you die.

vinegar and zugar

Wow... 1st tip : Cheat. Why not just install god mode mod? Great video... but... yeah... tip one is for whimps XD

Does anybody know if you can make the save game folder on OneDrive, I only ask as I work away from home now and then and take my gaming laptop (ahem for business purposes only) but have a separate game on that to my main PC?
The only way round I can see would be to copy the files to the cloud when I go away and copy them back when I return to keep the same updating play-through, but thats a manual process and Factorio has taught me to automate automate automate...ahhh train.

I wonder if i could back up my saves on the steam deck

Jarring food is absolutely crappy. There is like one jar in the entire town. They are so rare that its not worth it to even do it

locked car? dont want to smash the window? just open up the mechanic window and remove the window like that, all you need is a screwdriver

Where is that area in the beginning of the video? The one you have walled off on both sides? If you can show me on the map or kinda tell me where it's around/what town I can try to find it. Thanks for the tips too!

Last one is a No-No. No VETERAN SURVIVOR would ever use bourbon to create a molotov, just use gas. Gas is almost infinite in the world, bourbons are not. Good vid, as a veteran knew all of these but don't remember seeing a vid like this one from other content creators in those specifics

I guess my tip would be turn around often! I always get cats eyes as well. I would list the traits I get but it would take too long. Engineer is the best profession by far with all the bombs you can make. Every other skill can be grinded.

OMG THANK YOU! I did not know how to backup my save!

Awesome video as usual, I picked up a few things too!

Thanks for the Great tips! I didn't know you could make backups for survivors

They are really advanced tips. So useful. Thank you

Wow. I didn’t know most of the tips in the video. Thanks

My longest lasting character experienced his first snowfall recently.
All these months, several factories, warehouses, a storage facility and countless pothole events and I still haven’t found a sledgehammer...
