this is EXACTLY what i was looking for. Idc what goofy ahh ficitonal virus it is, if you treat yourself, take meds, and clean your wounds properly, you should be capable of recovering. Idc if its a zombie bite, a dog bite, a fucking gunshot wound, medicine is genuinely amazing in its capacity to keep a person alive long after a life threatening injury, so i think a game that seems so pressed on realism, should reflect that.
"oh no i got a lil nibble, guess i'll fucking die" thats such dumb bullshit.

Please B42

Just a quick update, player still dies from infection just does not turn into zombie for some reason.

This mod is a must-have.
I'm sick and tired of dying after getting scratched by random zed, as combat in this game is so clunky.

Please consider 42 version, we will need it sometime around this year.

thank god i fcking suck at this game

update for 42 please

@Imp

I’ve read all the comments but did not find this info. What is the average recovery time from the infection after you got bitten? Thanks a lot!

Hope you can get this mod fixed soon.

Speaking of B42, im forgot this mod isnt B42 yet, so ... when B42? , and pls not until stable, cause it gonna take solid 3-5 month

@Imp ah I see, I can edit the sandbox settings mid game. Getting sick but recovering is a good thing. I didnt know I could turn it off in 41 though. Neat.

Turning off infection also disables the sickness you get via the infection, which this mod keeps, I like it as a nice balance option

What @Quilava said

Turning infection off was also an option in build41

But you cannot do this on pre-existing saves, or the preset options, you need to create a custom sandbox game

If you read the the description, it mentions working on pre-existing saves

If you play in Sandbox, u can turn off the infected, but many ppl play in Survival mode, you CANT turn it off there, even in B42

It feel less cheaty in Survival mode since u cant tweak thing to your liking and it feel like default standard difficulty of the game

Same thing apply to other game mode and challenge too, that the reason why this mod exist

@Imp I did, I am in vanilla b42 and just wanted to comment for those asking for an update that it its built in to the game now. Im not sure what point you want me to read.

@JimmyAgent007 read the description and comments

Found a setting in the game setup that lets you eliminate the infection. So this mod might be obsolete now.

I made some changes, it might be working on 42 but unlikely, I was having issues uploading inside of the unstable branch of the game

There is also no clear documentation I could find about mgirating mods to build 42 unstable

Hopefully in the future when 42 comes to stable, there is more documentation and I will look at this further

Thanks for letting me know @tilarium, I will update the mod to add build42 support, providing they haven't changed systems related to health

@Imp They changed the way mods work so that each version of the game can have it's own version of the mods. They won't show up in the mod menu unless configed right. Thankfully it's quick and easy. In the mods folder you need 2 new folders, 'common' and '42'. Then you need to copy the mod files (the media folder, mod.info and anything else needed) into the '42' folder.

doesnt work on B42

should be fine on build42, nothing significant has changed

b42 plz

So... don't use it then?

Ngl this kinda removes the fun. i get why people would want this tho.

Honestly, a must-have mod.

Muito obrigado 😃, agora não vou perder meu personagem por causa de bug 😌

@nekochan AL

Read the description

or...
you could just disable knox infection spread in settings...

Worked for me. lifesaver bro

the bite NEVER heal

@unholymicrowave You can't just add it to a playthrough with an already infected character.

To be clear i was inside well fed clean and sleep was always available and i still died and became a zombie

I added this to save my character it did not work he died and became a zombie.

im so glad to know that its "SAPE" on multiplayer

add "playerHP:setInfectionTime(-1)" after setting infection level to 0. this was the solution someone gave me for my mod and im giving it to you here so users of this mod will not experience the bug anymore

I think one of the problems with this mod is it gives so little instruction about how it works.

How long do bites take to heal from? What is the infection arc? You have design intent that should be front and center of your page, instead you insist we dig through archives of comments.

C'mon dude. You need a FAQ section so we don't have to hassle through old questions and neither would you.

I'd also like to iterate, the insti-death may be due to a mod interaction with the vanilla game, but insti-deaths DO happen with this mod enabled at a frequency often enough that people are commenting about it. As a competent modder, you need to take responsibility for that contingency and design around it.

if u already are queasy and turn it on does the effect dissapear?

Now using this mod instead of you get infected you get instant kill, some how a bite in the palm is straight up kills you

I just lost my best run to a glitch where I couldn't move in a house full of zombies and this should really help so my thanks to the creator

@M.S.Referee you are correct, that is intended

The aim is to not make you invincible as a character, but make you immune to dying purely from the infection, you can still die from bites etc if it is brutal and you will get sick if you get infected, but the infection cannot kill you directly

I hated having my character be bit, successfully bandage myself and get to a safe place only to know that I will die to the infection because I was bit, so I made this mod to make sure you can still recover and it's not a game over instantly

In fact, this mod is not an 'invincible' mode, but a 'last hope'.
When you are bitten, first of all, you need to quickly apply a 'Sterilized Bandage' to prevent your health bar from rapidly decreasing. Secondly, you need to stop all other activities and behaviors, then sit or lie quietly, and sleep when you can. And during this process, dirty bandages need to be replaced frequently to prevent further death.

Conclusion: When you strictly follow the steps above, you will see the moment you are back to 'healthy'.
Why am I so sure? Because: these are all the steps that I have experienced personally. I watched the character go from 'bitten' to 'normal'.

THANK YOU IMP! I got bitten because of a stupid glitch that froze my game. This was the longest character i have ever survived with, and i thought is was all over. I was about to stop playing this game for a long time because of that glitch. I was so sad and angry until i found your mod. Bro.... thank you so much! Your mod saved my character. You are amazing and I hope you have a good Xmas and New Year!

@buder28 read the description and other comments

This works on existing saves, meaning you can turn it on mid-playthrough, which you cannot do normally

I already die 2 times instakilled what is happpening?

It's a safe mod, but if you get bit on the neck you are dead.

Best mod I have found and it actually works as opposed to other mods where they are outdated.

how long does it take to heal from the bite?

I installed this and activated it on an already current game. And yes, the I got bit a few times then all of a sudden I got bit one time then died.

However, I started SEVERAL fresh games and never had a problem with this mod. Love this mod I would totally suggested it to my friends.

After two and a half days of my life constantly ticking down despite keeping the well-fed buff, and sleeping / resting constantly, I died anyway. Nice.

Wasted two of my multi-hour characters. Thanks bro.
