Additionally, some mods add flat XP that run into issues as this mod attempts to calculate flat XP.

Yuseistar, it could be because the other 3 levels you had, were from watching vhs, which do not recover unless you do some config before starting a save as long as i remember, hope it helps

I tried reading as much as I could initially to figure out my issue but I've come up empty. So, my first character died at Carpentry level 8 and I was half-way to level 9 (I transcribed prior to death). The journal said that I had almost 20,000 exp of Carpentry but, when my second character read the journal, he only got to Carpentry level 5. Both my first and second character had the same traits too. Anyone know why I lost like 3 levels?

when you're in a car and you transcribe or read the journal you cant get out of the car till you're finished

ah kk no problem it was more just checking it was not something i was doing but i get you with the updates coming out - i would guess most modders are waiting till the stable build is out b4 sorting out the mods completely

The new learned recipe system moved some stuff around, I haven't had time/motivation to look into it + updates are/were coming out pretty frequently.

hi sorry if this has been answered before but the skill books and magazines are not being written into the journal is this how the mod works or am i doing something wrong as in do i have to activate the journal to do so, as it stands i have to learn all the magazines and skill books when i die - i die a lot lol

Is it possible to make the journal recover traits as well? Because it would work better with the Traits Purchase System mod.

es bueno me gusto usarlo en mi partida

nah they arent from traiits, ive got traits that make it zero. so when i gain xp for strength and fitness, so ive got mine set to 0 ive trained my strength to 4 and when i transcribe it doesnt do it., yet my friend can

Recipe didn't show for me. Playing in multiplayer. Has the mod enabled even the optional ones

The XP being recorded is flattened to that of a traitless/unemployed person. The end result is you can't abuse those traits or starting level boosts.

There is more info in the FAQ. 👍

Does the exp gained by having the "Fast Learner" trait also get written down in the journal?

nvm i see the instructions. doyy

is there a place where i can post an error that i get every time i do a specific action?

no no I ment like we are on a server im hosting from my personal computer, just the two of us but we each can make a journal incase (who am I kidding, we will die alot) we die mainly because of his very limited play time. trying to prevent just alot of wasted hours grinding skills. since hes brand new and I havnt played zomboid in like 3 years atleast so its a whole other game compared to what it was back then.

I've chosen to limit being able to share journals with each-other -- the only case where this may work is local co-op where the two players are technically on the same machine.

Sweet, by chance if I host a server for me and my buddy to play on does it work for co-op multiplayer? if we both have the mod? thank you for the quick reply

Yes, you read from the journal -- but the journal being an item can be anywhere you leave it. You also have to update your journal from time to time-- think of it as a checkpoint system.

still trying to figure out how this mod works, if I put skills into the journal and my character dies, do I go to where I died at on the new character get the journal and re-get my skills once I read the journal?

Nvm i found the problem.

Uh, it's been updated to B42 since December 23rd.

Please make this mod finally on 42, im so phucked without it 😭

No worries, and no rush.
Like I said, I have a simple work-around.
Your mods are fantastic, and I truly appreciate the time and effort you put in.
Would donate, but Ko-fi doesn't like my address for some reason.
"Y u no like my address, Ko-fi?"

I haven't sat down to look at how research recipes are being handled. It has been some time since B42 was beta'd, but I haven't had a big chunk of time to check out the new update in-depth.

As for magazine recipes, those *should* still be fine. I would need to know which recipes, I've noticed some mods have had issues in the past.

I don't think Aiming or Reloading are physical skills as per their category. Unless they changed it, in which case it should be working going forward.

I, too, noticed that magazine recipes don't seem to transfer, despite them being enabled and recorded in the journal. So far, I've had to hold onto every skill/recipe magazine at my base so after reading the journal, I can learn the recipes that didn't transfer.

Also, the research recipes don't transfer at all. So many times I've had to research a tree branch, or cookware, despite allegedly recovering skills. Very strange, too, that some physical skills like aiming and reloading seem to be transferring, despite having all physical skills set to non-transferable in the sandbox settings.

Sometimes, usually no.

soo.. 42.7.0 just dropped.. im new to modding so if i play the game rn would the mod/mods crash or reset cuz u know they need to update too n stuff ?

Sure!

I haven't had a chunk of time to look into it. Would probably take a few days of testing.

Hey, have you found a solution to recipes and magazines not adding up?

The stats of the journal are saved to the items directly-- so unfortunately no.

That would depend on the mod and the mod author, for me it made more sense to store data on individual journals.

Any modded item is removed when the mod isn't found during loading. This is a feature of the base game to trim down saves in that event, and avoid game breaking bugs.

If you do need to test something you can always start a new save to figure out issues, or backup your current save.

Hey, so i found out why it got deleted.. recently i went into debug mode to fix some stuff, and for it to work i had to disable all mods. that def reset all my mods stats including the Skill Journal.

thought to say this to clear the fog for anyone else.

plus, is there anyway to save mods stats when the need to disable/resubscribe ?

Are your passive skills from traits or professions?

im still having the problem with the mod, ive tryed putting fpassive skills to -1/0/and 100 to see if im able to transribe my passive skills, but i cant, ive tryed uninstalling the mod and reinstalling it, my friend can do it but i cant, it doesnt work on a solo or multiplayer server, i cant find the issue for why i cant transribe my passive skill but my friend can do it easily, im hosting so idk what teh problem is

Journals disappearing would suggest the mod was disabled at one point.

it is active.
i see the "Bind skill recovery journal" but the two journals i had just disappeared.. i had one on me and another one at my base.... they disappeared way before my character died.

Is it still active?

journal suddenly dont show, neither crafting recipe.... funny how this happened then i died on a 3 months character.

@Mishli - With B42, recipes were changed-- I'd need to look at it when I sit down with the mod again.

Everything should be alright.

If i'm already hosting a world and I install this would i have to make a new save? Or would everything be alright

best mod :V

wanted to say hi, honestly loving this mod. It's been a lifesaver for a noob like me who loses a toon every 3 days or so >.>; I did want to ask. Is there anything special i have to do to reclaim recepies? (outside of check the box in sandbox settings). I am 100% sure that it's activated. redownloaded the mod, but it seems no matter what i do, my new toon does not recover any recepies (from magazines, researching items, etc).
I'm not using any mod that messes with recepies
It's not the end of the world if i can't get that to work, just annoying to have to keep rereading the same 15 magazines.
thanks for the hard work!

There's a number of reasons this can occur, check out the FAQ for more info.

Hello sir, we use your this mod but the recovery of skill xp never give the exact percentage we set in our server example we set it in 80 % but it did not give the exact 80% what will we do thank you

Uno de los mejores MOD para poder seguir leveleando.

I’ve yet to move over to b42, I’m running a multiplayer b41 server and we drive fast cars and we’ve fractured a torso here and there, so medical corsets are a lifesaver, just wish I knew how to fix the issue without dropping mods, cause it worked before just don’t know how it messed up now

No worries, maybe I jumped the gun to clear my mod given the increased flow of comments - this happens once and a while when a popular clothing mod breaks.

May be related to the new beta update (if you're on B42).

i appreciate the help, i didnt understand it at first and wasnt trying to call out the problem to be with your mod, just saw that it brings up yours brought questions for me to want answers too
