"People are always asking me how I know Tyler Durden..."
Good mod btw

Also, can you add the ability to burn wood to ash? I'm finding I never have enough ash, and it just feels like a waste to only cut unusable scraps.

Appreciate it! You might want to add a hunger value, but a MASSIVE happiness debuff (it is human meat after all) as well as making it poisonous.That should be enough to convince most people not to eat it :)

@Tahvohck Thanks for report. You are right, it wont decompose because it has no hunger value. Worked earlier, but PZ changed some time ago so composting depends on how much hunger it recovers. I had it at 0, to prevent people eating it.
Gonna test out and will update mod next week. Will edit icons too.

Are you sure that zombie meat is set up correctly? I can't ever get it to decompose in my composter. It at least claims that it can be used in the composter and I don't see anything else it could be used for.

in the inventory, because those 2 icons are sharing same name as 'Ash', i put a number after image name as a little hotfix and it works perfect again.
i am really impressed you are focusing on 'how to do it' more than 'what to grab', so much fun, as long as you keep those steps, making a sub mod to offer more soaps from each crafting seems can fit more user.
or depends on container? for example, get 3 soaps by using buckets, 2 from large pots, 1 from small pots.

@747074170 thanks for feedback.
Ash icon becoming rifle from brittas is strange. Does it happen when item is on the ground, or in inventory?
I need to add some kind of 3d items. Mod was made before game had those. Im not great with graphics, so will try to look what i can reuse from vanilla.
Btw, do you feel that it would be better to get more soap from one crafting?

btw, camp fire doesn't required to be on fire while making ash.
pots are required to be filled in with water, but no mater how much.
i have no idea those are bugs or not, especially making soap while raining is a cool idea to someone who are not living besides river.
after all, it's troublesome but has much more fun than the simple one.
great mod!

ash's icon shows as a rife, i think it's from brita's weapon pack.
would you please considering to fix that?

ah ok cool - maybe it can help :)

@pgames-food i havent checked that mod, will take a look. thank you

that mod, and the teeth picking mod seem to both add a right-click menu when used on zombies.
(there 'is' a noticeable 1 second+ delay before populating that context menu, but for solo play personally i wouldnt mind a delay if it meant being able to rightclick on a zombie on the ground.

maybe there could be a way to "patch" the fat/soap feature into one of those mods, so that the "butchering process" also drops some fat for this mod? (basically using an existing delay, to obtain materials for this recipe in that way too :)

hi mr rat, was that mod the trading mod (butcher zombie) by any chance? :)

That's fair. If it would be a hack job, leave it as it is.

@Tahvohck at first I also wanted to implement that, but didnt knew how. I found only one mod which had that and their way of doing wasnt very good. Game needs to check every time player right clicks, and that has impact. Currently dont think that will be added to this mod, unless devs will add better way to do it.

Is there any possibility of us being able to cut soap from bodies on the ground? I often end up with piles of bodies and I'd like to be able to process the whole pile at once instead of needing to pick up each zombie individually.

@salnim, you need to pick zombie body from the ground, like you would when trying to move body to another location. Then when its in inventory click on it, and there will be options to collect fat or meat if you have KitchenKnife/HuntingKnife/FlintKnife/MeatCleaver/Machete.

I picked up a zombie and I couldn't figure out how to cut the fat out. Any advice on the process?

hi theres a zombie glue and a make woodglue mod that could help :)

interesting, you can add a craftable bone glue too from zombies like this, Iam having a hard time trying to find glue to fix my axes

Why not use zombie fat OR meat fat?

@Balthazar Zombie meat just rots. So it can be used like any other food in composter.

MrRAT, Hi, thanks for your work! Please tell me how to use zombie meat in compost?

ah ok, thanks for the info.

@pgames-food I went easy way and all you need to do it stand near campfire, right click log or unusable meat (need to have 2) and there will be option to burn log/unusable meat. While I was writing this reply, I had an idea, how to do it differently without altering vanilla items. But that will need more testing, so update won't be anytime soon.

hi this mod sounds interesting.
i havent got build 41 yet (am still in a build 40 game) but can i check what you mean when you say this?

"Burn Log or zombie unusable meat to ashes (need to be near campfire)."
does this mean we place the log or meat insie a campfire as usual (until it cooks and says burning/burnt?
