"Buying" mods and adding them to the vanilla game

By buying, I mean rewarding, since mods are usually created voluntarily with dedication.

 

I don't know about you, but I tend to focus almlst entirely on the immersion, realism and controls of the game, rather than multiplayer which I never really liked to play with other people online. Up until now, I realized the reason I kept on playing the game (and I'm sure 99% of you also do) is how the mods are drastically improving the immersion, realism and control of the game, which the base game would be rather empty and dull without it. 

 

With mods going into the base game, the devs would only have to sometimes expand from that mod to their preference, but also make some fixes so that the mod becomes more playable. Personally, I have so many immersion-improving mods at one point, I couldn't even know what was making the game, and now I have to accept whatever error there is, because I only wished the game would become much more immersive than the base game, from more diverse firearms, makeshift armory to throwing corpses out the window and even gun suicide. You should be glad you're backed by dedicated modders who made the game much more immersive to learn from, while focusing on much more important matters, such as human NPCs and hunting.

 

Now, as much as I like to have immersion-improving mods in the base game, this remains to be my opinion, which I admit would still need to be further discussed.

It doesn't work like that. Behind every mod there's a person who does things their very own way and that combined with most of the mods having absolutely no regard for the base game's balance, you'd have to rework most of it if you wanna bring it into the game. But at that point you might as well make a feature from scratch, with everything fitting the style, similar code as the rest of the game and proper balance.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2658619264&searchtext=Scrap

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2122265954&searchtext=Scrap

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2680473910

- Spear Traps https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2640351732&searchtext=Spear+Traps, along with more traps that works on zombies.

Some, if not most or all, of these additions and features should become a part of the main game as well. At the very least, the devs can use mods like these as their foundation, and then upgrade, tweak, patch and polish upon their preferences and the sake of immersion of the game.

I'm not a programming expert, I'm just a dedicated casual player of PZ who tends to focus more on the immersion and realism of the game, so huge apologies if I suggest something that isn't possible in means of coding.

Adding more links to PZ mods as example and also finishing my post (because I was in a rush when I first wrote this post)

Apparently, mods are the only reason why I'm still playing PZ. The vanilla game still have so many loopholes in features and diversity that I wouldn't be staying without mods patching up. I'm using like, almost 40 mods, and I don't care about the errors it gives. Brutally saying, it's still much better than playing the vanilla game. Most of these mods I'm using are so essential I wish the devs could blend in, tweak, polish and make it as part of the vanilla game as well, to make the game even better.

Just shoot those authors a PM on donating to them. They might accept donations, others may refuse money because their work they share is a act of kindness to others and that makes them feel good to help others. Who knows donating to them might inspire them to keep refining the experience they made.
