[B42] Skill Book Courier

Description
Loot tables of libraries, schools and bookstores diluted with dozens of new skill books? Tired of not being able to find that carpentry 3, or the new maintenance 1? Maybe this mod can help you! Introducing a new zombie courier, carrying a duffel bag full of skill books and magazines. That's it.

Q: Is this mod save compatible?
A: YES. This mod simply adds a new zombie definition, it will start spawning right away after installation.

Q: Where are the book zombies? I can't find them!
A: Since they are literally walking libraries, the spawn rate is set very low for balance consideration. Feedback welcomed on the spawn rate.

Q: How many books and magazines can I expect to find from a zombie?
A: The odds are set so that entry level books will be slightly more common than advanced books, but each duffel bag should carry anything between 3 to 10 skill books and/or recipe magazines, including the generator magazine, though that one should be particularly rare.

Q: Can I use your mod in my mod pack?
A: Ask for permission!

Q: Mod compatibility issues?
A: There should be no external conflict with other mods, to the best of knowledge. Please report any error you encounter in the comment section.

Q: Can you add sandbox settings?
A: Maybe.

This would be a good generalized type of zombie. "Santas" laden with "presents."

Such as looters that never got to enjoy their hauls from stores of all types.

Maybe some with more useless things like money, jewelry, etc. Others having canned goods, electronics, convenience store loot, and other useful things.

I mean to be blunt this courier is essentially very similar to a reanimated player that was lost in the process of carrying too much.

Indie stone should take a look at this tbh. :praisesun:

@poopsock hey thanks. rn they do wear all white shirt and pants, tie and a little blue hat. I’ll see about putting together a uniform or something.

this is a really good mod, its immersive, and it realistically makes sense. I do think you should make a custom uniform though, maybe one like the mail man from the 50s or the modern ones of today. I think the zombies need to be distinct and easily spottable in hordes, kinda like how cop zombies or robbers with the military backpack are easily recognized.

In b42 there is a mail satchel, I think the courier should be wearing it instead. Nice mod!

Alright, I’ll have a look.

I think the only thing that would need changing across versions is the removal of the new skill books. Aside from that, it should port across pretty easily

@Scroobles McDoodle I can look into this. No promises though, since I can’t test for B41.
