Hi everyone, I'm looking forward to playing Project Zomboid with the Viewpoint mod and some beautiful visuals as well, however, I don't have quite a stunning or powerful laptop at the moment.

i7-13620H

16GB DDR5

2 TB SSD

No GPU

I'm asking or looking for a mod list that would be compatible with my laptop and that also allows the mods to work seamlessly, thank you very much!

What phone is best to buy? My birthday is tomorrow and I want to buy the best phone for build 42 so I can play games smoothly and enjoyably!!!

Recently, I watched some videos of people combining Minecraft and GTA, and it gave me an idea.

What if we gave an AI access to ZomDroid's code and asked it to optimize the game specifically for mobile devices?

I'm talking about reducing stuttering, improving FPS stability, optimizing CPU and RAM usage, and making the game run smoother on smartphones without significantly changing the gameplay.

Of course, this would require understanding the game's code and identifying the actual performance bottlenecks. But AI can already analyze and modify code, so why not try it?

Has anyone tried using AI to optimize ZomDroid, or would anyone be interested in testing how far we could take this idea? I'd genuinely like to see what the results would be.

Also, I don't mean to offend anyone who's already working on optimizing the game. You guys are awesome, and honestly, you're doing a much better job than I could. I'm just curious about what AI might be able to achieve if we experimented with it. Keep up the great work!

Hi everyone! Currently in the process of downloading this amazing game. Can anyone confirm if my Samsung Fold 7 will be able to play, and play with the phone fully opened? My GPU is out for warranty repair currently and I've been dying to play this game again. Really hoping that I can. Just waiting for the download to complete.

quick question

Today in the comments about the 3D mods I read what one of The Indie Stone developers said about Java mods:

>"Java mods are not supported by TIS at all, as they give complete access to your system that malicious actors can exploit. Users should be very cautious about using Java mods, and only ever install something they know for a fact is safe. We have no means to protect users who use them."

I think it's worth explaining what that means for us.

Most Project Zomboid mods are Lua scripts, and the game keeps them inside its own limits. Java mods (the ones that need ZombieBuddy — PZ3D, Viewpoint, ZBBetterFPS and others) are different: they are regular program code that runs with the same rights as the game itself. Nobody checks what that code does — not TIS, not Steam Workshop, not us.

On PC that means access to all of your files. On Android the system keeps every app in its own sandbox, so a mod can't touch other apps or system files. But inside Zomdroid a Java mod can do everything the launcher can — read your saves and the launcher's files, use the internet, and, if you allowed Zomdroid "All files access" (we ask for it when you download the game from Steam or GOG) or microphone access (voice chat), use those too.

So please:

• only install Java mods from authors and pages you trust, with plenty of players and comments;
• be careful with brand-new uploads from unknown accounts, and with copies of popular mods re-uploaded by someone else;
• if you don't need a Java mod, don't keep it enabled.
• if you no longer need "All files access" after downloading the game, you can turn it off for Zomdroid in Android settings.

Lua mods aren't affected by any of this.

isn’t zomdroid in a sandbox? and if a java mods were to be malicious it wouldn’t have much access would it?
