Version 1.3 uploaded, this is obviously the b41 update. Please check out the changelog in the main post for more information! Edit: Version 1.4 uploaded, please check changelog for information. Edit2: Version 1.5 uploaded, please check changelog for information.

Sorry, it is unlikely I will update this mod until the next update officially releases. A latrine/outhouse would only make it easier; the only alternative to defecating on the ground is the loud toilet which requires water. Adult diapers are also a no, as again, they will only make the mod easier, which I definitely don't want as I feel it is in a balanced state.

Ah okay, yeah this won't be possible then as the object needs to contain at least 10 water.

Thank you! Nope, that shouldn't be possible but I haven't explicitly tested it on the urinal.

I've just uploaded a new version, the main highlight is the config file! Please see the main post for details. I'm really not sure to be honest, if the txt files are there I think the game should be able to find the names. I had a friend test this earlier and the keybind/context menu looks okay for him, but we're both on Windows. I did just release a new version, you can try that but I didn't do anything to specifically fix this, I tidied up some of the code but I'm not sure, sorry!

Hmm...Do you have the latest version, or are you possibly using a custom language or something? I've got the EN translation files in place and I had a friend test this and he is not seeing this issue or the keybind issue. Both of these files should be in my mod folder /media/lua/shared/translate/en

Ah, thank you, I did not realize that showed up with the keybinding! I will move it to the UI section and fix the missing tooltip. I'm going to keep the TP need as is, at least for now. All the ways to get TP as you described are exactly why I don't want to make it any easier, I want the player to have that much more of a reason to need to explore for supplies. And I have not tried the rain barrel above toilet method, so I can't say for sure if it does or doesn't work. Thanks for understanding!

Thank you! Please at least read the entire OP and try my mod in game before you give suggestions, it is already possible to defecate yourself when panicked and it's already affected by those traits. I didn't program anything to specifically stop players defecating themselves when sleeping, it can still happen if you're "sleeping" in a multiplayer server, when other players aren't. I'll need to test and see if it still happens when the time multiplier is running. This is a good idea! In the next version you will lose 200 calories when you defecate if you have diarrhea, I'll also add so you lose a small amount of thirst. This is a fun idea, but I don't want to penalize the player too much with diarrhea, it's already got a lot of negatives! I purposely didn't add tooltips. For the toilet there'd be no point, the option already says 'Defecate'. For the keybind, obviously it'll only appear if you downloaded this mod and you'll know that there's only 1 keybind that opens/closes the defecation status window. You can defecate wherever you'd like, but TP will always be a requirement if you're not using a toilet. The balancing factor of the toilet is it always makes a very loud flush.

Essentially, the 'Base.' is there to tell the game that these items are coming from the base game, not a mod. You can open the file 'items.txt' and 'newitems.txt' in your steam install location '/project zomboid/media/scripts', in there search for 'axe' and 'spear'. You should be able to find the names pretty easily.

You will want to move this file to media/lua/client rather than media/lua/server/. You'll also want to verify your recipe in your txt file has the OnCreate: line calling this function.

Version 1.11 uploaded, please see changelog in main post!

I actually hadn't thought of a player just letting it reach 100% and stay. I'll need to add the possibility of defecating yourself if you're above 95% or so and are not panicked. If there is no, or not enough, water in a toilet you will not be able to defecate using the toilet. I actually forgot about the comic book, shoot! I'll release an update today (probably) to fix these two issues.

V1.1 uploaded! Changelog is in the main post.

I don't know how hard it is but have you thought about making it a moodlet... Thank you! Unfortunately, moodlets are not moddable at this time but hopefully I can add this in the future. Second thing, I do agree with Bejasc and being able to interact with bathrooms... This is something I already have implemented and it will be in the next update. However, my implementation will be a bit different than what you have suggested: 1) You will be able to defecate using toilets through the right click menu 2) You will not need any kind of toilet paper 3) The toilet must have water 4) The toilet will be flushed immediately after use, meaning you do not get feces and it will make a loud noise Some of this may change before I release the update, but these are the current plans. So the suggestion would be to jury-rig a few rain collectors together in an upper floor to create an improvised water tower/water tank. Sorry, this is pretty out of scope for this mod, so I will not be implementing this. I may take a look at hygiene in the future, but I don't have plans at the moment. Final request: If it wouldn't be too much trouble, please, always keep a non-steam download for the mod. No worries, I will always include a mirror as I like to let people easily study the files. Agreed on the subject of the moodle, hopefully I can get that added in a future update when they are moddable! Right clicking will allow you to defecate using a toilet after the next update, but I'd like to keep the rest of the stuff in the 'defecation status' window. Secondly, I didn't check yet, but are defecated pants washable? They are not, but this is on purpose to further penalize the player for defecating themselves. I also forgot to add the skirt and this will be coming in the next update. Thirdly, I think that the Iron Gut and Weak Stomach would be more fitting than Lucky/Unlucky for the purpose – it would also give them more use! I like this idea and I will do some investigating into how I should implement these traits! Fourthly, it would be nice if more items could be used for wiping, including newspapers, comic books, magazines books and skill books... I am further expanding the list of items that you will be able to use as toilet paper. As you can craft ripped sheets from all the clothes already, I will not be allowing clothes to be used as TP. I like the idea of making actual toilet paper and tissues the best options, I'll look into this. Finally, in case you will plan on implementing toilets, it would be nice if using them would also rest character a little... I like this idea as well, I will add a small amount of fatigue to defecating without a toilet. However, I'd like there to be some more negatives to using a toilet, so you will lose your feces, not allowing you to use them for compost/fire fuel. Thank you both for the great suggestions!
