Hi fellow modders !
 
Since 32.20 is out on the IWBUMS branch and we can now use the Steam Workshop, I have seen a lot of mods being aded with the standard preview or preview that doesn't give the the right feeling of all the mod awesomeness.
 
So I decided I could help moders by creating their Preview.png file to help them showing off their mod quality on the first sight ! 
 
But you're not going to believe me without a proof, so here is a link to a imgur album with all the "Preview.png" I have made :

So I am ready to take any commisions (for free of course), give me a link to your mod, maybe the idea you have and I'll try to find the time to help you 
 
Warning : I have a huge time consuming and job, so I sometimes forget to check on Zomboid's Forums and I may be offline for long periods sometimes, sorry if I take a long time to answer your commision...

These are looking great!

I added some mods to Workshop, please let me know if they work as I have zero Idea what I'm doing... I'm not much of a steam guy.

Wow such "free points" bashing 
I disagrea a bit with what have been said so here is my point.
 
Let me remind you that all of those "free points" skills always add a counter balance :
 
1 - "Slow" traits : 
More time spent reading skills books = character faster bored = unhapiness Waiting =/= Playing ... So slow reader is a real "IRL bored" skill in MP Same thing, less time spent reading = less newspapers consumed / less time spent waiting instead of playing Have you fell of a construction with that skill ? Let me tell you that even in SP it's painfully long to recover from it x) Bleeding wound takes more time and a lot more disinfectant to get cured, so possible "death by infection trait" in late game Same thing for fast healing, less disinfectant used is a huge deal, considering that it's an item you can't create I don't think it's pointless It takes FOOD to recover from inguries, the longer you have them, the more you drain your stock  
 
2 - "Needs" traits : 
About the thirst, not everybody is playing in westpoint, in murglauh 8+ month run, High Thirst is a death trait Even in West point it's a painfull trait, you spend twice more time going to fill your cooking pots, cuttings logs, starting a fire... Urgh... Oh god Hearthy Appetite is so NOT a free points skills, once again guys, when you get to late game, even after your first winter, these kinds of skills are the one that kills you... And foraging is not always the solution : waiiiiting... in MP / not everybody plays a foraging character + now that it has been nerfed it takes a day to find 20 berries to a character with foraging at level 6, considering you need to eat at least 10 of these berries per day... It's not that OP, but I agree with you, berries should'nt show up before the level 2 of foraging.  
 
3 - "Stomach" traits : 
 
Not a 100% sure of what I say but here is what I have understand about food poisoning
About Iron gut, not everybody "turn the food respawn on" I mean, it's kinda like cheating for me, we have to consider that the game is more about surviving and that most of the players plays without respawn, this trait definetly allows you to survive longer (but it's not a very usefull trait in early game). About food poisoning, I heard that every rotten / poisonous (bleach / berries) have a poison value (the poison value of the white berries is 2) having a better resistance to food poisoning might save you if you drink a bowl of poisoned soup or may allow you to survive after eating rotten/uncooked food on the other hand weak stomach FORCE you to eat perfectly healthy food and its fine in early game when you have full fridges and canned food everywhere but could starve you later...  
 
4 - Definetly agree : 
 
Voilà ! I just wanted to show that not everybody think that a lot of skills are free points when they are more late game skills, sure taking them won't impact at all your first month surviving, but when you get you survive serveral month, these free points sometimes became the reason you die : exausted because of the lack of water, unable to knockback a zomby because you are hungry, dead because you had to eat a little bit of rotten food to survive or because your wound got infected and you had no disinfectant left. 

4000+ Downloads ! Thanks for supporting the Dowels !
 
 
This mod is an answer to my own suggestion here :

http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/1043-les-chevilles-de-bois-carpentry-suggestion/

Handmade Wooden Dowels are pieces of wood that experimented roofmakers and cabinetmakers are using to build some "full wooden furnitures / structures" for cottage furnishing and strong roof structures.

If you want to know how does it works or why is it so hard to use and why it's really something reallistic :

I invite you to read my suggestion, I have added a lot of pictures and drawings to answer all that questions.

I sunk the boat then threw out lifejackets.

Well... I'm a smoker so that one was for me, mostly
As for suggestions:
1: I'll look into it, if I can get modded Evolved Recipes to work, which some say work as of Build 32 but I didn't check.
2: Should be easy enough so yeah, I'll add that.

I can't think ok playing the game without your mod anymore. This should be included in core game. Great work.

After having some time with 32.4 I must say I love the new migration mechanics.

The issue of zombies being too magnetically attracted to each other also seems to be fixed, maybe a little too well, I can handle clumps of 20 zeds fairly easily but then again I do play with a combat oriented character build.

My safehouse keeps getting attacked, nothing I can't handle so far. I've barricaded very early on which was the best thing I could have done. Waking up and opening the door to see a horde randomly migrating, just shambling by your base is really awesome, I've always wanted to see something like this happen.

All in all, I find that all of the issues I ever had with zombies not being a big enough threat for long enough seem to be fixed in a convincing way. I like the way it is in Build 32.4

Ah ah yeah I had a pretty rough time during my last games combining build 32 and your neft mod. It's awesome to see how it changes the way you fight, much more tense ! It's definetly my favorite mod in PZ, it adds immersion, challenge, strategy and a real fear of any 5+ pack of zombies.
 
Thank you again for that awesome mod, I would'nt go back to light sabers weapons for nothing !

That would be just perfect !   

Updated Weapon Nerf Mod to 1.2 by fixing the possibility to cut down trees with Baseball Bats and few other weapons because it's possible in the base game for some weird reason, hit it all you want, there is a reason there is a way to craft an Axe in the game if you ask me. Download contains two versions for both Build 31 and 32

Nothing else will probably change in the mod unless we get new weapons in need of nerfing because the new zombie respawn system does a good job of increasing difficulty to the point where the mod is just icing on the cake

Instead of making and maintaining new threads for all of tiny little mods I make I'll just put them in this thread from now on. If it's here than it should be compatible with the latest version of PZ.

Check out my Littering mod too! And please only post comments\suggestions for the mods here, if you want to say something about Littering go to it's own forum thread.

Also, I am currently the caretaker of NecroForge, if you have a problem or a question that pertains to it either shoot a PM my way or post on it's forum thread. The Download links for latest versions are on the bottom of this post.

All of my mods are also currently available on the Steam Workshop, the awesome posters that you see there were made by Onkeen

Mod Updated 1.4 is OUT for BUILD 31 !

 

Changelog :

 



- Carpentry level scaled to fit all crafts
- Build 31 compatible
 

Amputation is a tentative yes in the common suggestion topic :
  
This topic seems much more about cannibalism and such...
 
But even though I had a great time playing a cannibal during a few runs, I don't think cannibalism or more awfull things will be added to the vanilla game, for the same reason they don't want to add babies/childs. They don't want the game to be famous as a caanibalism/human skin fruniture/baby killing simulator.
