Set rarity of an item?

[ryanzec]

So as I was looking as what I assume are the loot table files (stuff in /scrips/) of other mods, it did not seem like there was a way to define the rarity of the item though I would imagine there would be a way to do that (I mean I have seen dozens of hammers in my 20-25 hours of playing and only less than a handful of axes). Is there a way to set the rarity of an item?

Check media/lua/server/Items/SuburbsDistributions.lua files.

If you look at a file called SuburbsDistributions.lua here:

 

G:\Games\SteamApps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\server\Items

 

You'll find the rarity of all items and can change what you want. If you don't wanna fuck with game content, you can make a mod copying the file structure of any mod and just put a copy of SuburbsDistributions.lua in there, then you can activate/deactivate it from the mod menu.

 

Keep in mind that there is a limit set on minimum rarity, I believe it is 0.01, meaning that if you try to set something to like 0.005 it'll be bumped up to 0.01.
