How to automatically run in project zomboid

In Project Zomboid, you'll need to navigate through a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies. To do this effectively, you'll need to master the art of sprinting and time management. Understanding movement mechanics is crucial for first-day survival and long-term success in the game.

Sprinting in Project Zomboid

Sprinting can be a useful tool for escaping zombies or traveling long distances, but it's important to use it wisely. When trying to escape zombies, it's best to use shorter bursts of sprinting with rests in between. This will help you last longer and avoid tiring out your character too much, which can lead to death. In general, only sprint when you are absolutely sure that it is safe to do so. If you find yourself frequently encountering zombies, consider learning zombie avoidance techniques to reduce the need for emergency sprinting.

Keep in mind that your character's stamina is limited. If it reaches zero, they will collapse and be unable to move until they have rested for some time. This makes it very important to be aware of your surroundings and to correctly judge when it is safe to sprint and when you need to save your energy. Managing fatigue is also important for maintaining combat effectiveness - learn more about curing exercise fatigue to keep your character in peak condition.

Speeding Up Time When Moving Around

There may be times when you want to cross large distances quickly, or when you need more time to do things like fishing and cooking. In these cases, you can use the "walk to" feature to speed up time while moving around. This is particularly useful when you need to travel between different areas for foraging expeditions or supply runs.

To do this, right-click on the area of the map you want to walk to and select "walk to." While the character is moving to the destination, you can select the fast-forward option you want. This will speed up the time and have your character walk at the same time. Just keep in mind that if your character comes into contact with a zombie, the game will automatically switch back to normal speed.

Auto Walk Mod

If you want to have your hands free while walking, you might want to consider using the AutoWalkTo mod. This mod allows you to auto-walk to a destination by holding down a key binding. However, it does have some limitations and may not work in all situations. Overall, it can be a nifty mod to have, but be sure to use it with caution.

With these tips in mind, you should be well on your way to mastering sprinting and time management in Project Zomboid.
