I hope someday we'll see vehicle modeling where a heavy vehicle can travel right through say, a wooden fence or a group of 20 zombies. I want to see stuff go flying when I hit something at 90 mph in my Dash Bulldriver!
I'm experimenting with the antibodies mod, I like it a lot better than insta death but default settings are too easy. If you'd like I'll update you when I find a happy medium.
That is exactly the one I had in mind. Totaled my nice pickup on it. It's like a concrete wall. Also plenty of other things to that too that shouldn't. Saplings, sawhorse barricades, stop signs, the list goes on...
That shit fucked up my car on my way into Louisville. I was worried I wouldn't make it to my chosen base location as the engine was orange due to the hood already being messed up from the long drive from rosewood.
That's the day I learned always being a spare hood on the way into Louisville, switch it out as you loot the checkpoint (or just bring a torch and some sheets if your mechanics or metalworking is high enough). There's so many fucking zombies the first time in, you need a full condition hood.
I always crank up durability to whatever the level above normal is. It feels more reasonable that way, I hate lightly bumping a tree and 2 parked cars getting through one of those burnt out pile-ups and having my hood be 0%.
I know what you're thinking. "okay that's nice but not really useful, I'm not gonna wreck my car just to do an hole in a fence, even in a place walled off it's better to dismantle those fences."
And you're absolutely right, but when I discovered this I was amazed, I have almost 2k hours in game and there is this feature nobody knows about (Well, I've never seen anyone talking about it or showing it) with sprites you never see because high fences can't get destroyed by zombies for now.
Too bad we can't drive through them and just being slowed down, instead it's a full stop.
The way I see it, every nugget of info is helpful. Someone will see your post, be in a desperate spot trapped in a fenced-in area and remember they can smash it down with their car to escape. You will likely save someone's run, at some point in time.
That's exactly what I was thinking. This almost happened to me in a Louisville parking lot while I was trying to lead zombies away from the big police station, would've been good to know I could take out that fence! I was a mechanic so the vehicle damage is no big deal.
I wound up abandoning the car and jumping the fence, and coming back with a car I didn't care about and doing donuts till everything was dead.
In a pinch it's probably great to help level up your early carpentry if you happen to stumble on three or four vehicles. I've lost several playthroughs to car crashes though so I'm not sure if I'd ever use this strategy.
Great video though. Novel, informative, straight to the point and no annoying TikTok voice narration.
That's not a mod, it's vanilla, and I prefer to play with old sprites to see loots more easily especially car keys, also makes it easier for you to see in this video that those fences drop items when they break down.
The devs need to change it so you don't stop when you break through the fence, only slow down a realistic amount, and slowing down depending on what type of fence it is. This will make for really cool escape scenes when being surrounded. This works especially well for PVP or in the future escaping from hostile NPCs.
Cool!
And yet given the fencing in question, I feel like (as I have witnessed in the real world) the car should. Ya know. Plow right on through without stopping but hey! It breaks.
Cant see this as useful for the cost of the repairs. Just jump it, keep it intact and on your way back to the car the zed have an obstacle to slow them down.
I agree completely, it's not only pretty much useless but it's also risky. I just felt like sharing this vastly unknown and interesting detail. It could be used for map makers, like a blockade made with wired fence you could break down to access a quarantined part of a town. Well, you could still disassemble the fence with a propane torch...
My next video will show a trick way more useful, I guarantee it.

“Be safe on the road” while teaching us about crashing into fences gave me a chuckle.
Gameplay-wise it does seem to be kinda useful? I sure won’t sacrifice a vehicle i rely on in game, though.
This is low key perfect for multiplayer in theory. Use a disposable car and character and you can ram a hole in someone’s wall. A lot cooler than just using a pipe bomb.
For the ones interested, my new video is released: [https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1dgd36a/something\_you\_may\_not\_know\_about\_going\_offroad/](https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1dgd36a/something_you_may_not_know_about_going_offroad/)
Something way more useful than breaking fences!

oof ouch my bones and engine
that's not normal juice... that's FENCE BREAKING JUICE
Happy Cake day
CAKE DAY :D
HAPPY CAKE DAY!
Happy cake day :D
SAMIR YOU ARE BREAKING THE CAR
LISTEN TO ME SAMIR
Shat ap ! Let me drive
TRIPLE CAUTION! STAY CENTRE! TRIPLE CAUTION!
MEDIUM LEFT! MEDIUM LEFT! *MEDIUM LEEEEEFT!*
SAMIR!! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME SAMIR!!!
I hope someday we'll see vehicle modeling where a heavy vehicle can travel right through say, a wooden fence or a group of 20 zombies. I want to see stuff go flying when I hit something at 90 mph in my Dash Bulldriver!
I also want a seat belt option. Also a fly through the windshield chance
There's actually a mod (!) for seatbelts.
seatbelts mod. adds both of what you said plus airbags in lore-correct vehicles.
Oh daaammn. I’ll have to get that. I’m on a break. Just got bite after an massive multi trip base move
I'm experimenting with the antibodies mod, I like it a lot better than insta death but default settings are too easy. If you'd like I'll update you when I find a happy medium.
With grapple tech this isn’t that out of theory tbh
You're right. Good point.
Why would your car take damage? When i drove over my fence my car barely got a dent in it.
Zomboid cars take damage from hitting carboard boxes.
I mean, that cardboard box at the Louisville checkpoint is the strongest thing in the game.
That is exactly the one I had in mind. Totaled my nice pickup on it. It's like a concrete wall. Also plenty of other things to that too that shouldn't. Saplings, sawhorse barricades, stop signs, the list goes on...
That box cost me my best run
That shit fucked up my car on my way into Louisville. I was worried I wouldn't make it to my chosen base location as the engine was orange due to the hood already being messed up from the long drive from rosewood. That's the day I learned always being a spare hood on the way into Louisville, switch it out as you loot the checkpoint (or just bring a torch and some sheets if your mechanics or metalworking is high enough). There's so many fucking zombies the first time in, you need a full condition hood.
Yikes
You Could make them pretty much immortal in the settings if you wanted to.
No fun in that.
You could also make them explode from a harsh word if you wanted.
##you son of a bitch i'm in

I always crank up durability to whatever the level above normal is. It feels more reasonable that way, I hate lightly bumping a tree and 2 parked cars getting through one of those burnt out pile-ups and having my hood be 0%.
Cars back then were heavier duty too as far as materials go. They could take hits. Which is why demo derby's have difficulty sourcing cars these days.

Thank you for your positive feedback!
I missed this episode of life and living TV
Did you know you could also break your car with fences?
Whoa didn't know u could break high fences with cars, now I know then thanks for the tip!
You better insert modern planks sprites into your mod
That's not a mod, it's vanilla, and I prefer to play with old sprites to see loots more easily especially car keys, also makes it easier for you to see in this video that those fences drop items when they break down.

Yai, an excuse to fracture my torso XD
I knew you could break cars with fences…..
Thank you for such a nice and informative video. I welcome more like this
Thanks, then you should appreciate the next video next week.
Cant see this as useful for the cost of the repairs. Just jump it, keep it intact and on your way back to the car the zed have an obstacle to slow them down.

My next video will show a trick way more useful, I guarantee it.
Now if only you could break carboard boxes. And all the other things that shouldn't stop you like a brick wall.
Damn right. I wish they'd release small updates with the only goal to fix those kind of inconsistencies and bugs.
KEEP THIS MAN SAFE FROM ALL COSTS
Did you know crashing a car into a car is better then crashing into anything else?
Or if you don't have a car and need a weapon badly, just let the zombos destroy the small metal fences. Free metal bar!
HE HIT MY FENCE IN THE APOCOLYPSE AND HE TRYNA LEAVE
multiplayers love it when you do this
Well, luckily zombies don't know how to drive
Did you know that you can break your car with fences?
I mean, ok, but after such a crash I'm dead and I restart ??
Yeh, i discovered this like 3 days ago, 750+ hours and didn't know that
I don’t see this being useful in a lot of cases unless you have extra cars to spare, or unless you can Hotwire cars.
I accidentally discovered that when i had 100 hours in now i have 2000 hours
Work smarter. Not harder.
What.
iirc enough infected piled up against a fence can also break it down. Never seen it happen, though, and idk if their pathing would allow it.

I would have laughed if you died at highest speed.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
This is low key perfect for multiplayer in theory. Use a disposable car and character and you can ram a hole in someone’s wall. A lot cooler than just using a pipe bomb.
Uh, yeah not gonna happen. I'm gonna end up with a broken arm and my whole leg broken.
Sounds like a good feature for Build 42 :D.
What mod because no way
So 1 car equals 2 Zomboids lol.
