Hello author, i think thismod is must have, but why i can't wash them directly from sink? why i need have bottle with water in inventory to clean them? This a bit weird

That's weird, I thought I made sure to reflect the weight to match those of rags and bandages.

Not a bad mod, but they weight close to nothing, while regular rags and bandages weight 5 times more, making them obsolete.

I feel that maybe to enhance immersion, you could make it so it requires a certain medical level to craft and the more u gain medical knowledge the less ripped sheet is needed

a bug still exists where you cannot wash imporv band from sink, you have to click on the band and then you can wash but it might use ur bottled water

Great mod! Love it <3

I can't tell this is the best but I can wash the dirty bandage from sinks by copying ISWorldObjectContextMenu.lua and adding getAvailableItems with your mod.

@jasdan short answer: bandages stoping the bleeding faster. benefit: a bleeding wound gets faster infected then just a wound without bleeding. and bandages have generel more capacity for blood before getting dirty. but infected wounds are not dangerous in vanilla. because they decreasing just a little the heal-time and increasing the pain for each wound by 1 (moodle 1 of 4)

What actually is the benefit of using Bandages over Ripped Sheets?

Нашёл недочёт - бинты не стакаются.

I really like liptons DI idea, it seems kinda strong to be able to just upgrade zombie clothes into relatively strong bandages basicly in the first minutes from the start!
BlacKoruja Mar 6, 2023 @ 5:06pm 
A bandage system similar to Unturned would be interesting.. something like: 6x Ripped sheets = 1x improvised bandage
6x improvised bandage = 1x vanilla bandage (or a modded inferior one)
LiptonDI Feb 26, 2023 @ 7:05am 
As a suggestion, from a balance pov, would it be possible to tie the crafting improvised bandage recipe to the first aid skil category ? Like only being able to craft on skill level 2 or 4
al  [author] Feb 5, 2023 @ 4:37am 
They're supposed to be washable just as vanilla bandages/rags but the game doesn't seem to let you wash it via sinks/toilets and you can only clean it with water bottles despite having the exact same recipe for some reason..
Potato Jan 13, 2023 @ 8:41am 
Hi @alex :D, I like your mod. Are the bandages supposed to be washable? I've found that I can wash them using a water bottle, but not with a sink. If they are meant to be single use, perhaps you could make them work like the adhesive bandages that disappear after use?
tilarium Dec 28, 2022 @ 1:18pm 
Might be beyond what can be done. But do you think there is any way to make bandages (the regular one and these ones) have a limited amount of uses before they are worn out and can't be used anymore? Give us a reason to need to keep making new ones.

Also added Russian translation by Kernel posted in the comments section below. (Sorry for the months long delay :P)

Sorry, I made the change months ago and forgot to upload it.

after resetting my character once the problem went away. I may of been doing something wrong or it could be a strange fringe case..
al  [author] Nov 6, 2022 @ 8:00am 
Sorry, I've been busy. I will try to work on it sometime soon.
Nina Oct 30, 2022 @ 10:01am 
having issues in the latest build. single player. was working in he last patch in multiplayer. not sure if somthing changed. playing on standard and not beta branch
Raivens Jul 31, 2022 @ 1:20pm 
Hello, Alex. I noticed an error in your file "module_improvisedbandage.txt" (line 46 - replace with "Icon = ImprovisedBandage"). I also made a Russian translation for your mod, you can download it here [drive.google.com]
AndyLoco Jul 29, 2022 @ 6:36am 
Thank you alex !! ♥ Dont worry, I actually find the fact that they are not washable very good and balanced since they are very easy to do, so I really dont mind that option missing :) I will be keeping an eye for the update tho !
al  [author] Jul 29, 2022 @ 5:07am 
Feel free to include it in your modpack.

Also, I've been working on the issue where improved bandages can't be washed with sinks and it seems like sink-bandage interaction is somewhat hardcoded into rags and bandages where it goes beyond what is specified in recipe files.
As tweaking the recipe to nearly match the vanilla ones doesn't seem to do the trick, I don't think I can do anything about it at this point.

Other than that, only issue after B41 update was the world model not working and that's been fixed. I'll upload a new version very soon.
AndyLoco Jul 28, 2022 @ 1:06pm 
Hi @alex :D ! I would like to ask your permission to use your mods in our server modpack.
I will give you full credit for your mods in every media. And I guarantee no one would be coming to you for technical questions or anything of that matter. If you allow us to do this our community would be very grateful. Thank you !

Thanks bud.
Medical in this game has always been rather annoying af for me, and i hate bandaging a simple scratch like, 4 times, so this may be something to make it a bit more enjoyable.
al  [author] Jun 5, 2022 @ 3:42am 
Hi, I've recently found time to play PZ again. Will work on an update with mod settings since that's a thing now.
Night_Rage Jun 5, 2022 @ 3:02am 
Any news on if this works now?
Definitely interested, just wish it had a setting for amount of sheets, cause 6 is nuts, when you can wrap up with 1. Would love to be able to change it on the fly, if so desired.
Baki May 30, 2022 @ 12:46am 
Can you make a mod to get the wrapped bandages from the dead turned players?
al  [author] Feb 15, 2022 @ 6:21pm 
Hi, I am currently busy with work and I can't work on this for the time being.

I'll try to update the mod when I have some free time.

Sorry!
Skolden Feb 15, 2022 @ 4:08am 
Seven hours ago, Alex.. The People are have spoken. We are still interested =]

Hey alex, bandages are still broken.
Holden Dec 12, 2021 @ 1:19pm 
hey, just as a headsupp, it appears that the bandages can only be cleanes with waterbottles and not using a sink. otehrwise great mod
Alexander1713cc Nov 5, 2021 @ 2:51am 
Does the mod work on B40? (MP)
Amura. Jun 25, 2021 @ 3:33pm 
Thanks
Zhake Dec 12, 2020 @ 10:57pm 
Probably need to update this for B41 to allow you to clean the bandages near sinks. You can still clean them with a water bottle, however.
Awesomeexplorer Jul 18, 2020 @ 7:51am 
This reminds me of how in Cataclysm (the game PZ based off of and designed a challenge after something from it) you can craft makeshift bandages from rags that serve the very purpose of making something better for your wounds out of rags.

Hey, thanks for letting me know. I didn't realize that haha will make sure to fix that
Black Leonall Apr 7, 2020 @ 6:04am 
Excuse moi du double poste j'avais pas vu que tu étais FR du coup first aid fonctionne pour les livres mais pas pour un skill required c'est doctor qui est utilisé
Black Leonall Apr 7, 2020 @ 6:00am 
Hi to use a skill restriction on your item you need to use this "SkillRequired:Doctor=" it's not FirstAid
Fuyuno Jan 12, 2020 @ 7:02am 
thank you ( ・ ▿・) please let us know? ( ◠ ‿◠)
al  [author] Jan 12, 2020 @ 6:38am 
I might have to check and see if animation interactions will break these.
Fuyuno Jan 12, 2020 @ 3:07am 
does this still work in b41? any news on an update otherwise?
Wrenny Jul 16, 2019 @ 12:50pm 
I would imagine just sandwiching the ripped sheets together.
Thought the ripped sheets themselves are actually already improvised...
Ripped Sheets 2.0
al  [author] Jul 12, 2019 @ 11:03pm 
I know right! This is is why I thought of adding skill requirement so that the new recipe does not become something very niche (and slightly pointless) but does serve a purpose.

I personally feel that skill requirement should be turned on because it simply makes ripped sheet pointless if you are able to make an improvised one right after getting out of character creation menu whereas it would make more sense to be able to make one after having adequate amount of knowledge in First Aid. (not the most realistic solution but hey its a game so keeping it simple would be better.)
zeeb Jul 12, 2019 @ 4:53pm 
ripped sheet is already an improvised bandage, its like making a mod where you can get ripped sheets from ripping sheets.
