Metabolism balanced and business update
Quick update from us đ
Metabolism balanced
You noticed it: gaining and losing weight didn't work properly, and hunger felt off. The cause was a sync problem: your game and the server had different data. That's fixed now, weight and calorie burn work the way they should again.
Is your weight completely off because of the bug? Open a ticket in #ticket-erstellen and tell us roughly what you should weigh. We'll reset it for you.
Business update
We keep getting questions about claims and similar things. So to be clear: you want to run a cool business? A car dealership, a workshop, a doctor's office, a scrapyard or anything else? Absolutely!
Just open a ticket in #ticket-erstellen and keep it short:
- what you want to run
- where
- what you need for itWe'll claim the building for you and help with what you need. We're happy to support things like this, as long as they serve everyone.
Thanks, everyone! đ

The big clean-up update: all built by us
You've noticed: the last updates were rough. We already ran only a few mods and paid close attention to that. But even that was too much. Every third-party mod brings its own quirks, gaps and exploits, and every game update breaks something. I was completely fed up.
So this update: a lot of what used to come from other mods is now built by us. Hotbar, inventory view, cooking, beehives and all our windows. Everything in one consistent design, every window with its own monkey.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't suggest mods, quite the opposite: please do! But from now on we're consistent. We take inspiration from other mods and build it ourselves. That's how the server will last for the long run and stand out.
What's coming next: we're building the weapons mod ourselves too. For you everything stays as you know it, same weapons and same feel, but we'll have full control: we fix things ourselves, balance them ourselves and no longer depend on other people's mods when the game updates.
Technically I'm not fully happy yet. But the most important part is done: everything now lives in one place. I know this is a big change for you. It was necessary, though. Otherwise every update turns into a huge construction site like the last ones, or worse, at some point the fear of a wipe comes up. The goal is clear: there should be no wipe. And performance has been much better since the rebuild.
With a rebuild this big there will surely be bugs and small things here and there. I'm deliberately taking the time pressure out and would rather do it right than fast.
And now I need you:
Please report everything in #đă»bug-meldungen, every little thing, one thread per issue, so I can work through them one by one. Overlapping text? A window looks off? Something doesn't fit? Send it! Short, to the point, ideally with a screenshot, that helps the most.Like many of you, I put a lot of heart into this server and want every detail right. Don't feel like reporting? That's fine too, then just a bit of patience please. This is teamwork, and that takes more than two people. đ
Thanks, everyone! đ

- Water pipes: the window no longer floods errors in the background.
Cheaters are out. For good.
A quick reminder, because we caught another one today: cheating gets you a permanent ban.

- From now on the server detects cheat menus by itself and bans on the first try, by name, Steam account and IP.
- Anyone who deliberately destroys other players' animals, builds or belongings is out just the same.
Banned by mistake? Please open a ticket in #ticket-erstellen. Project Zomboid is buggy in quite a few places, and not every little thing gets tracked correctly, so we can get it wrong too. We look at every case and lift a wrong ban right away.
To everyone who plays fair: thank you. The monkey only bites the right ones.
Hotfix 1.44.0: water pipes, event monkey, vending machine till and tighter anti-cheat

New:

Gloves on, monkeys!
On Friday, 06.11., at 20:00 (CET) we're holding our first community meeting, live in the voice channel on our Discord.
In one corner: the AffenBiss team, freshly peeled and well padded. In the other corner: you, with your wishes, ideas, suggestions, praise and criticism.
We'll tell you what we're planning and where AffenBiss is heading. But mostly we want to listen: What's missing? What annoys you? What do you love? What should we build next?
So lace up your gloves! Constructive criticism can hit like an uppercut. It might knock us down, and that's exactly what makes AffenBiss better. We can take it. (No hits below the belt, though.)
AffenBiss is meant to be a community that grows together. That's why you're stepping into the ring with us.
Grab your calendar, pack some bananas and drop by! Can't make it on Friday? Post your questions and ideas in the suggestions channel on Discord beforehand and we'll bring them into the ring.
See you there. Bite first.
Around 150 monkeys on board: The end of the beta is getting close
Around 150 different survivors have dared to come to Knox County by now. Most of them are still alive. Some even voluntarily.
You are the reason this works. There is no big company behind AffenBiss, just a tiny crew and a lot of heart. That an idea became such a lively server in so little time is down to you: everyone who builds a home here, helps newcomers, writes stories, laughs with us and comes back even when something breaks. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. It really means a lot to us. â€ïž
We are getting close to the end of the beta, and as promised there will be no wipe. Everything you build now stays. We work on the server every day, listen to your feedback and keep tuning the systems until they fit. The changelogs show what is going on.
Tell us about every bug, even the smallest. We want to bring this server as close to perfection as possible, and we can only do that with you. You see things in the game we would never find. No bug is too small and no idea too crazy. Post in #bug-meldungen, open a ticket or just tell us. Every report helps, and we read them all.
Why the state shops are gone: We have enough players now, and the trend is going up. So AffenBiss goes back to what it is meant to be: a loot game. You find your gear in the world, build something up, farm and survive. What you don't need, you sell to the businesses or trade with others in the new marketplace. Buying only remains where it really makes sense: vehicles, manuals, furniture and the veteran shop for service tokens.
Our goal: no dependency on third-party mods. The next big step is our own music library, so we need no further music mods. They are not good: sync problems, big downloads and needless load. This should improve performance a lot once more.
Your account: In the dashboard on affenbiss.de you can verify yourself and link your Discord. The website and dashboard are getting small updates right now.
What you have done so far:
- đ§ 24,016 zombies killed
- â±ïž 1,545 hours played together
- đ 2,751 km driven, đ„Ÿ 1,310 km on foot
- đ 3,466 meals devoured
- đ 73 deaths. We are proud of you. A little.A special thank you to stumpi, who tirelessly takes the time to make this dump of a country prettier. There are only two of us on the team, and that only works because so many of you help out: with reports, ideas, answers for newcomers and every little bit of help. Thank you to everyone who pitches in.
We are looking for help: We are looking for 1 to 2 people with enough time, experience and knowledge to support the team. If that is you, open a ticket and tell us a little about yourself.
What comes next: We keep going on social media and in the forums to make AffenBiss better known. This is how you help most:
- Invite your friends, dying together is nicer
- Tell others about the project
- Share our clips and vote for the serverThank you for being part of this. See you in Knox County. Take care, or don't, we have the journal after all. đâ€ïž

- Second bag: Under an ALICE or Legendary backpack you can wear a duffel bag low on your back, at the cost of being a bit slower.
- Claim sub-zones: A sub-zone now uses exactly its own rights, so you can open the crates in the reading corner to someone and nowhere else.

- New dances: Griddy, Gangnam Style, Caramelldansen and more in the emote wheel (hold Q).
- Duffel bag on backpack: now also works with tool, weapon and worker bags and the travel hiking pack. If it doesn't work right now, the option tells you why.
