Will do 20 push ups on the spot if someone updates to b42 :sacrificed:

Can you make this for Build42?
Diddy killer Jul 30 @ 4:28pm 
Can you make it work in build 42
Patriote Jul 26 @ 8:17am 
Anyone knows if this work in MP? We haven't tested it but we added it to our server.

You might want to try on a new character with the trait selected at the start in a different save file/world and see if it works.
AphroditeHex May 31 @ 10:24am 
Would a new character be needed? I've been adding the trait via admin
M4A1CID  [author] May 31 @ 9:33am 
AphroditeHex, you might need to check if you have the cannibal trait and any mods that may conflict with corpse interactions
AphroditeHex May 30 @ 6:16pm 
I'll fiddle with the files a bit... sorry to bother you. I really love this mod's concept but I haven't been able to use it
AphroditeHex May 30 @ 6:15pm 
Yes, I did that, I do have the corpse in my inventory but i see no option to butcher it... not sure why
M4A1CID  [author] May 29 @ 8:34pm 
Hi AphroditeHex, grab a corpse in your hands then right click on the corpse to trigger this mod's recipe.

This is not compatible with Build 42
AphroditeHex May 29 @ 6:39pm 
Maybe I'm dumb, but for some reason I can't butcher a corpse. I have several sharp tools in my inventory as well as the corpse, but no option to butcher it
Sssss Feb 4 @ 5:50pm 
yeah
Pinpoint Feb 1 @ 6:29pm 
It would be cool if for the B42 version you use the butcher hook to hook the body on and you can gather meat from it.
Sssss Jan 22 @ 1:57pm 
Cool! I love this mod!
M4A1CID  [author] Jan 19 @ 5:37am 
Hi Sssss, thanks for the B42 report. I'll probably need to find a new body prep system for this to be compatible in B42 and B41
Sssss Jan 18 @ 8:31pm 
I got it to work in B42, kinda. All of the items were added but you can't get meat as it requires the body to be in your inventory, and you can't do that anymore as grabbing corpses is no longer a thing. You can delete the corpse and give yourself the items tho. Anyways, just copy the mod id and paste it here: x86/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/108600. Then go inside the folder and create two new folders: 42 and common. Once that's done just move the "media" folder into "42", and then "mod txt file" and "poster" into "common". That's it, have fun and remember that most mods will probably not work as intended and will most likely cause errors, :spiffo:

Id love to know if it works as well. this is still one of my favorite mods, and considering all the other things that needed updating, it wouldn't surprise me if this one does too.
M4A1CID  [author] Jan 15 @ 10:36pm 
If anyone has tried using this on Unstable Build 42, do let me know if it works
Vibrant Jan 6 @ 10:07pm 
Now i can be truly bad to the bone
(Seeking)Eye Dec 31, 2024 @ 10:49pm 
Passing by to say I still use this mod often enough- something about using the zombies as any kind of fuel is always going to amuse me.

I would also like to add the idea of ​​blood caloric content. For example - Pig blood is very filling and helps with iron deficiency in real life. Why not add this idea? Of course, if you want - but I think it would be very useful, as well as the idea of ​​making canned food from people.
Herald Of Truth Sep 26, 2024 @ 6:08pm 
Hello, my dear friend.
Is it possible for you to add a recipe for cooking canned meat - like human stew in a glass jar. :stress:
If you can implement this option in the game - I will be very grateful. This recipe is sorely lacking for roleplaying with the :snowstorm:cryogenic winter mod:snowstorm: and low food settings :)
M4A1CID  [author] Aug 31, 2024 @ 7:42pm 
Twink Househusband, I've just tested on the latest build (41.78.16) and can confirm that the mod is still working. You may want to try setting this mod as active alone to see if the problem still persist.

It may be due to other mods that you have installed that could potentially cause issues (Eg. Item/Gameplay Overhaul mods, etc).
Twink Househusband Aug 31, 2024 @ 11:07am 
Hello! I'm struggling with making Human Minced Meat! I have a knife and the meat needed, but the crafting recipe isn't working! Cannibal trait is equipped but I still cant do it! Did this mod break recently?
M4A1CID  [author] Aug 9, 2024 @ 8:45pm 
PY-Is-Trash, bones is used to craft and repair the Bone Crusher 2-handed weapon.
Larry Bones Aug 9, 2024 @ 4:04pm 
What are bones used for?
adlerstaat Jun 13, 2024 @ 5:51am 
does this still work?
M4A1CID  [author] May 7, 2024 @ 10:22pm 
Puddings, this mod allows you to butcher zombie corpses for meat/organs/bones. Eating them raw will 100% infect you unless you cook the infection away.

Cannibal trait does not limit your dietary (You're a cannibal, not a carnivore or Tokyo Ghoul). You may limit yourself personally as part of role-play.
hoću_kitu May 7, 2024 @ 5:22pm 
Would it be possible to add a 1-5% chance of finding 1-2 edible "human meat" on zombies after butchering them? If not in this mod, maybe a submod?

I'm trying to create a cannibal faction and one possible issue I see is that if you play as a strict cannibal how will you find food to eat if there's no players around you? Would be nice to have a way of finding food even if it's just a rare chunk of meat.

Also I haven't actually tried this mod yet, but is it possible that when you pick the cannibal trait you can't eat regular food/veggies anymore just meat? You could have 2 trait versions, one for live meat (players) and one for any meat (players and regular meat including dog/fish found in houses and groceries). Would be interesting.

Nukedpancake, you need to grab a corpse in your hands then right click on the corpse to trigger this mod's recipe.

If the corpse is on the floor, the recipe is most likely another mod that you installed.
nukedpancake Apr 1, 2024 @ 1:46pm 
am i doing something wrong? im harvasting corpses but only getting bones and Skulls, no meat at all
M4A1CID  [author] Mar 14, 2024 @ 10:47pm 
Unfortunately I lack the knowledge for PZ modding for it. Saphh Cooking seems in-depth with various custom recipes and food types.
Punished Schlong Mar 14, 2024 @ 10:15pm 
Hey could there be some way to make this compatible with Saphh Cooking?
M4A1CID  [author] Feb 3, 2024 @ 3:04am 
Hi Fensalir_Gaming, I don't think that is possible since the meat is created from a "Recipe" and classify as a "Food" item. Since it's "Food", anyone can consume it.

Eating Raw zombie meat is like attempting to drink the bleach item. The functionality is there to use it, but people don't do that unless they want to end their character.

If you know how to mod PZ files, feel free to modify this mod and use it in your own server.
Fensalir_Gaming Feb 2, 2024 @ 5:47pm 
Is it possible in the settings of this mod to make it so you cant eat zombies? I'd love to use this in my server but only for consuming meat from player corpses
M4A1CID  [author] Jan 14, 2024 @ 7:42pm 
Hi Undead, for those with non-cannibal trait they will suffer massive penalties for eating Cooked zombie meat.

And everyone will suffer penalties for eating Raw zombie meat.
Undead Jan 14, 2024 @ 1:59pm 
Works in multiplayer Please add option to disable eating zombies and some negatives

Hi Wu Zetian, from my experience the More traits should use different item IDs so in theory should not have any conflict.

Do backup your saves before testing
Wu Zetian Oct 11, 2023 @ 11:13pm 
Hello, quick question ! The mod More Traits allows me to cut up human corpses and receive "Human meat" (cookable) and "Human blood" (drinkable). Will that mod conflict with this mod ?
M4A1CID  [author] Oct 10, 2023 @ 5:33am 
Do ensure that you back up your saves before implementing this mod in your own servers in the event where you may need to revert back
M4A1CID  [author] Oct 10, 2023 @ 5:30am 
Hi Raccoon, from other user comments it would seem like it works in multiplayer servers. However I cannot confirm this as I did not test it in a multiplayer setting personally. The mod takes in corpses but I do not know if you can cut up player's corpses.
Raccoon Oct 8, 2023 @ 3:45pm 
does this work with multiplayer? if you kill another player can you eat them?
WARLORD2306 Sep 27, 2023 @ 9:53am 
Suggestion:
Meat from zombies starts rotten since they are literal walking corpses after all.
Makes it so only people with high level cooking can just casually get their meat from zombies
M4A1CID  [author] Sep 20, 2023 @ 5:53am 
UdderlyEvelyn Feel free to do so
UdderlyEvelyn Sep 18, 2023 @ 12:32pm 
I know you didn't write the original, so any permission is a bit wonky in the first place, but do you mind if I modpack and tweak this for my server? We have pretty strict balance needs. I can patch if need be but it'd be easier.
WARLORD2306 Sep 16, 2023 @ 9:38am 
would be funny if pairing this with "the only cure" allows me to eat a friends arm in front of him
WARLORD2306 Sep 16, 2023 @ 9:36am 
i just wanted to know if i can have a sort of dayz style idea where i can eat my friends but zombies are only usable as compost
WARLORD2306 Sep 16, 2023 @ 9:23am 
i see, thank you
M4A1CID  [author] Sep 16, 2023 @ 1:42am 
Hi WARLORD2306, if you eat the meat raw or drink the untreated bottle of blood it will make you 100% infected.

I don't intend to make a randomized chance for Cooked meat or Treated bottle of blood as it assumes the virus is killed off with the heat.
WARLORD2306 Sep 15, 2023 @ 8:45pm 
is there an option to make it so meat taken from zombies will eventually make you turn and if not will you consider making one?
