Most replies are incorrect either partially or entirely. I have struggled with this myself for several hours and will present to you my work.

As another pointed out, you can chain bathtubs. The bathtubs must be exactly above eachother. This may already be the case in your building's floorplan.

Check "the project zomboid map project" (google it) - and find the floorplan of the building you're in to confirm.

HOWEVER

Bathtub chaining only works for the first 3 floors.

So what are your options for the lower floors?

Get clever.
In my case, I used wall water fountains, and put the fountains on an exterior wall of the building.

Then, on the floor above the water fountain, I sledgehammered the wall out, put down some wood floors to make a shelf, put a rain collector barrel on the shelf, and it works.

After all. The building may be 7 stories, but if I make a shelf, it doesn't matter. Just make sure there aren't any balconys above your new "balcony".

Yet again, the map website will help.

Another option could exist with more clever chaining of bathtubs allowed you to walk the water fountain a couple tiles in from the edge. However, the max you can get is probably 4 tiles, and that's with custom placing bathtubs on the floors above. Still, in some cases, that might be your best option.

One final bit, to plumb the bathtubs - you plumb one square PER FLOOR. As in, don't plumb both squares on the same floor!

Good luck!]]>

Note for texture pack developers: We're going to change the cocoa pods to use meshes instead of a nodebox which will sadly require a change in texture packs - this is however being done to better support (non standard size) texture packs. Similar things might be done with other nodeboxes in the future.

Note for Mapgen v6 users: Starting with 0.82 it mapgen v6 will be removed from the "create world" dialog. v6 support in the game might eventually be discontinued as well. If you use v6 please contact us – just so we know if there are even any v6 users (support isn't great as is because v6 does not support the biome api).

Hi all, I'm proud to announce the release of 0.82.0. Here are the release notes:

Important notes

Due to a much needed dye refactor, the following items have been added:

"mcl_bone_meal:bone_meal"
"mcl_mobitems:ink_sac"
"mcl_core:lapis"
"mcl_cocoas:cocoa_beans"

Due to this, those items now appear as dye (which they were named as in the backend. e.g. Lapis was called mcl_dye:blue). We have added new crafting recipes in so that users can convert their dye back to those items. We will be leaving these recipes in for a period of time (3 - 6 months), so it is best to convert your old lapis back into lapis from blue dye as soon as you can.

Zombie siege raids will be turned off by default. Once we resolve a bug where zombies will path through doors causing a blood bath, we will readd these in, but your villager's safety is a priority (ish) to us. If you feel like living dangerously, or are of sadistic disposition / simply hate villagers, you can still turn these back on...

Note for texture pack developers: We're going to change the cocoa pods to use meshes instead of a nodebox which will sadly require a change in texture packs - this is however being done to better support (non standard size) texture packs. Similar things might be done with other nodeboxes in the future.

Note for Mapgen v6 users: Starting with 0.82 it mapgen v6 will be removed from the "create world" dialog. v6 support in the game might eventually be discontinued as well. If you use v6 please contact us – just so we know if there are even any v6 users (support isn't great as is because v6 does not support the biome api).

Hi all, I'm proud to announce the release of 0.82.0. Here are the release notes:

Important notes

Due to a much needed dye refactor, the following items have been added:

"mcl_bone_meal:bone_meal"
"mcl_mobitems:ink_sac"
"mcl_core:lapis"
"mcl_cocoas:cocoa_beans"

Due to this, those items now appear as dye (which they were named as in the backend. e.g. Lapis was called mcl_dye:blue). We have added new crafting recipes in so that users can convert their dye back to those items. We will be leaving these recipes in for a period of time (3 - 6 months), so it is best to convert your old lapis back into lapis from blue dye as soon as you can.

Zombie siege raids will be turned off by default. Once we resolve a bug where zombies will path through doors causing a blood bath, we will readd these in, but your villager's safety is a priority (ish) to us. If you feel like living dangerously, or are of sadistic disposition / simply hate villagers, you can still turn these back on...

Sifu is the new game of Sloclap, the independent studio behind Absolver. A third person action game featuring intense hand-to-hand combat, it puts you in control of a young Kung-Fu student on a path of revenge.

Sifu is the story of a young Kung Fu student on a path of revenge, hunting for the murderers of his family. One against all, he has no allies, and countless enemies. He has to rely on his unique mastery of Kung Fu as well as a mysterious pendant to prevail, and preserve his family’s legacy.

When he dies, his magical pendant revives him, but with the trade-off of making him older. With every decade of aging, your attacks grow stronger, but your health bar gets smaller, turning you into a sort of glass cannon. Once you reach the age of 70, your pendant will be spent, and death is final.

Can you defeat all your enemies and get revenge for your Sifu before you die of old age?

The combat system is a sort of mix of Sleeping Dogs and Sekiro. I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

A fast paced MOBA taking heavy inspiration from the endgame PvP modes of WoW and other MMOs. The gameplay consists entirely of 3v3 team deathmatches lasting a mere 2 minutes per match.

There are a couple maps, but they are all featureless flat plains with a couple of pillar thingies to block line of sight. Most of the nuance is in the character abilities. You can have up to 8 at once out of like 20 some per class. The learning curve is pretty steep though unless you are already a veteran MMO PvPer or MOBA player.

There is no sugarcoating the fact that the graphical appearance is extremely ghetto, the kind of aesthetic one would expect from a game released in the early 2000s(so like 2003. god I feel old Undecided

). Everything looks flat, the characters are 2D sprites made from prerendered 3D models a la Diablo 2, and some of the fonts just give me a really unpolished vibe. On the plus side this means it doesn't take much processing power to run and you can probably get a 60fps lock even on your ancient craptop from 10 years ago.

Matchmaking goes by pretty fast, you hit ready, it gives you two teammates, you hit ready again, and you're in a match.

Currently we've got me, @Interovegas and @Xenoe on the train. We'll see how long this lasts.]]> https://arenaofkings.com/

I'd say it's time to finish the fight, but that was 3 games ago and apparently the fight is still going on. Halo Infinite! The classic military sci-fi shooter franchise that shaped our childhoods, now returning to its roots, or at least trying to.

Microsuck is going the CoD route for their business model, making the multiplayer free to play but charging for the singleplayer campaign.

I think I'm the only FPS fan around these parts, but I thought I'd let everyone know that this game came out today.

Genshin Impact is a free to play open world anime-esque action RPG from the makers of Honkai Impact 3. It's strongly 'inspired' by Zelda and Breath of the Wild for its cel-shaded visual aesthetic, musical score, stamina mechanics, exploration....so basically everything. I've never played BOTW though so it's all new to me.
The core gameplay seems way too good for a gotcha game, but I suppose it's about time companies put in the work to truly earn their whale bucks.

My friendo code is 607103680 on the America server for those who aren't in the know yet.

Black Myth: Wukong - Official 13 Minutes Gameplay Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2nNljv0MOw

FAQ from the website, google-translated to English:

Q: 我们为什么选择这个时间发布《黑神话：悟空》（以下简称《悟空》）的早期视频？
Why did we choose this time to release the early video of "Black Myth: Wukong" (hereinafter referred to as "Wukong")?
A: 答：直接原因是开发团队相当缺人，尤其缺高手。我们非常渴望全国乃至全世界，有志于从事高品质动作游戏开发的朋友能够加入游戏科学，一起来创造这个方兴未艾的东方魔幻世界。详情请关注官网底部的招聘信息，内容会随时动态更新。
Answer: The direct reason is that the development team is quite short of people, especially experts. We are very eager for friends from the whole country and the whole world who are interested in high-quality action game development to join game science and create this ascendant oriental magic world together. For details, please pay attention to the recruitment information at the bottom of the official website. The content will be updated dynamically at any time.

Q: 《悟空》的付费模式是怎样的？
What is the payment model of "Wukong"?
A: 答：一次性买断制的经典单机付费模式，未来不排除有发售DLC与非数值向的内购内容。另外，我们非常乐于见到大家把这个回答截图保存，以备未来随时提醒我们。
Answer: The classic stand-alone payment model of a one-time buyout system will not rule out the sale of DLC and non-numerical in-app purchases in the future. In addition, we are very happy to see everyone save a screenshot of this answer, in case we remind us at any time in the future.

Q: 《悟空》准备登陆哪些游戏平台？
Which game platforms is "Wukong" going to land on?
A: 答：PC+所有主流主机平台，也不排斥可以流畅运行端游的云游戏平台。
Answer: PC + all mainstream host platforms, and cloud game platforms that can run end games smoothly are not excluded.

Q: 《悟空》大概什么时候发售？我已经等不及了。
When will "Wukong" be released? I can't wait.
A: 答：应该用不了500年……我们会在自己作为玩家觉得满意的时候再发布，但也会考虑边际效应与性价比——毕竟黑神话系列的更多作品，也在梦中认真规划着。
Answer: It shouldn't take 500 years...We will release it when we are satisfied as a player, but we will also consider the marginal effect and cost-effectiveness-after all, more works in the Black Myth series are also carefully planned in the dream.

A: 《悟空》一周目通关预计多少时长？会加入其他英雄吗？会有联网模式吗？
How long is the estimated time for the one-week pass of "Wukong" Will you join other heroes? Will there be an online mode?
Q: 答：暂时无可奉告。最让我们苦恼是，尤卡本人确实很爱玩单人剧情模式内容扎实，多样化的职业/武器战斗体验，支持联网共斗的主机动作游戏……
Answer: No comment at the moment. What worries us most is that Yuka himself really likes to play single-player plot mode with solid content, diversified career/weapon combat experience, and host action games that support networked fighting...

I'm not sure myself what this "one-week pass" is, but I am rather hyped from this trailer.

Although, I do have quite a few mixed feelings from what we've seen:
- It'll be a lot of lost potential if Wukong is a silent protagonist. His banter from the animated series was a big part of what made him a fun character
- I'm not sure they'll be able to pull off the hyperrealistic style throughout. The trailer gameplay doesn't look too bad, but this is a relatively small studio, so I'd imagine there will either be smaller maps to make polishing easier, or corners will be cut so that bad texturing is noticeable throughout the game.
- I don't like the grimdark color palette showcased in the example fights either
- The roll-dodge is such a cancer on this industry; it makes all these souls-like games feel the same. Regarding the visual component of it: @Xenoe and I both agree there are lore-friendly ways to mix it up a bit, like pole-vaulting or somersaulting for example. Regarding the gameplay component of it: surely there must be better ways to avoid damage than rolling through attacks or using a stun spell. If we draw a bit more on the souls-like games for example: Sekiro made blocking and jumping on opponents a vital part of the combat. We've already seen Wukong block arrows in this trailer, and jumping on opponents' heads seems very in character for the supposedly playful monkey. Why not add those into the mix?]]> Game Science studios
