Huge issue I've runned across: when you have more than one firearm in inventory and try to make one into usable part instead of turning into usable parts the one you clicked at the mod in first order will make EQUIPPED GUNS into usable parts. I've lost my best guns before I realized mod does that

the little blue cooler doesn't actually seem to keep stuff cool? would be another great addition to an already great mod if it did :)

how to use cleaning liquid?

Hey @spoon looks great can u make it for b42?

update b42 pls

update b42 pls

Update for 42?

I get a texture error with objects like caps and helmets and I don't know why

I love your mod, making rope from threads is perfect, I can make bows in conditions of low loot! and always repair the fishing rod with the help of zombies!

This mod has a critical exploit: you can put perfumes in something like a stew to grind cooking XP. Perfumes don't get added or used up but you get XP from cooking.

"Make disinfectant from bleach/salt+water mixing." How to use it. Could u help me please?

Maybe you could add the ability to craft Wooden Hammers? I'm missing that rn :)

Would need to account for the crafting overhaul, which is STILL WIP.

We really need your Magic @spoon for build 42 , This mod for build 42 is a must have

Haven't played PZ for a while but I have no objections for my mods to be taken over by somebody else and updated/used any way they like!

@spoon you try to update to B42?

@tex thats a vanilla feature

Hello, I found a bug, for some reason large backpack slows down your attack speed

В настоящее время это сломанный мод, он меняет так много вещей в ванильных предметах, что в конечном итоге ломает игру.

atualmente é um mod quebrado, muda tanta coisa nos itens vanilla que termina quebrando o jogo, se você só quer as receitas remova os arquivos .lua e abra os arquivos de texto na pasta script leia as receitas que você quer manter e o resto remova tudo na wiki do jogo você acha a pagina que mostra como essas receitas funcionam

Baseball craft should be like minimum level 8 carpentry since it is such a good weapon and inexpensive to craft. Other than that great crafting mod, also just adding that is my opinion and I wait till I am high level carpentry in my solo runs. I don't want to get attacked just because I think that is an op craft.

Patching the sheet rope recipe:
1. Find this mod's folder, open the file mods\EssentialCrafting\media\scripts\SpoonVanillaECraftingPatch.txt
2. Find the recipe "Craft Sheet Rope" (line 247)
3. Edit the RippedSheets=16 to some other number
4. You can also edit the sheet rope's Weight to be lower, default Weight = 0.8 I believe.

@OttosTheName I'd do it, mod was last updated last year, creator has not responded in a year, no "Mod On Lockdown"/permission required. In comments of their collection "Project Realistic Overhaul", they said they don't play PZ anymore (Jun 21, 2024). The mod is buggy as hell and poorly balanced.

If you've got the eyes for code, I'd love to see that kind of rebalance, and to make it modular/configurable, like what number you'd like to set the large backpack's run/attack modifier values to be, and checkboxes to enable or disable base-game recipe for sheet-rope, since those are two massive complaints.

Currently, I'm uninstalling cause there are issues with eating portions of food - cancelling action with Eat 1/4 or 1/2 seems to eat instantly, and Eat All seems to eat about half. Ripping clothes in bulk in the inventory is also bugged. Best of luck with the patch and re-upload!

Butter knife spear, scalpel spear, spoon spear and some other spears are uncraftable due to Simple Overhaul: Melee Weapons that removes them, is there a way to use both mods?

Not sure if it is this mod or the "Common Sense + Essential Crafting Compatibility Patch".
But ripping underwear does not work. The character is doing the animation and all, but it results in the underwear being gone without getting any ripped sheets. I was using the regular ripping with scissors in my inventory. I did not try forcefully ripping (I don't even know what exactly is different).

Aside of that this is a really nice mod and a great addition to the game! Thank you for this mod (:

Is this indeed the mod that causes character to sometimes get a scratch while disassembling watches?

As you probably know the runspeed modifier on the Large Backpack found on survivor zombies is massive. You can't sprint at all and you fight like you're overencumbered because of the runspeedmodifier = 0.8 and combatspeedmodifier 0.8.

I don't know why this is a thing, that's an incredibly harsh debuff. I assume you meant 0.98?

Would you mind me reuploading it with this fix? That's the biggest backpack anybody is likely to find for a year of playing high pop or low loot runs and having that permanent debuff is enough to uninstall this mod. But that fix would make it one of my favorite mods again.

reading glasses will help you read the text on your monitor faster if you don't have good vision at that distance.

question does the reading glasses affect the reading speed? im really curious

Does the crafting thing give any experience?

Does this make sheet rope cost 16 ripped sheets and take about 5 min to craft the amount of sheet rope you need to bundle 4 logs?

love it how ppl wanna set graves on fire

@RATO_BR, I was wondering the same. Figured it out. Useless scrap is used in the Make Duct Tape recipe, but you need to learn it first from Essential Crafting 101 magazine.

You have to make sure when picking up the body you "PREPARE IT FOR MASS GRAVE" so it converts to the body type for a mass grave.

Mass graves, as far as I understand them, work like this:

1/ Digging the grave: Have a shovel in your inventory, and pick a spot. I've only done it in forests/fields so far, as I assume it needs to be on actual soil.
2/ Preparing the bodies: to do this, you need to pick up a corpse (right click -> grab corpse). Once done, you will get an item called "Dead body". Drop it on/close to the empty grave.
3/ Filling the grave: You need 10 bodies and the empty grave item to show up in the "ground/floor" inventory window. Sometimes requires some shuffling around of the bodies.

All these steps need to be done in the crafting menu ("Misc" tab).
If done correctly, the grave will look like a mound of dirt.

@FunZed - As far as I'm aware, you don't set fire to the grave. You just bury the bodies, it's not a burn pit. According to the mod description, these graves should disappear after 40 days (can't confirm this yet).

Same thing, i put 10 bodies in mass grave and can't set on fire...

i can't get the mass graves to work :( any tips?

it's compatible?

May I add this to my modpack?

How do you make plaster powder and how do you use it? Because I had 5 bags and a bucket full of water and the option dindn't appear...

ta bien

Could we please get a submod to scale tailoring speed with the skill? From something like x2 time with no skill, to 1.5x with level 1, to 1.0x with level 5, to 0.4x with level 10.

tbh its op

hey! I have a reaally big problem with your mod, that i have in my save with "Moubly's Long Term Survival" mod, and they can't work together cuz somehow they make every normal belt of the game explode with errors! So...is there any way i can make them work together? i really love them both :((((((((((((

ass hat ass clowns mod makes sheet ropes 10x harder to get.

Is it possible to have a sub mod to remove the option to collect corpses Mass grav?

@spoon there’s a little exploit with the campfire recipe - you can craft it with twigs but when you disassemble it, you can get a stone or two! Bug is great for those who need tons of stone (like when using Ely0ns build menu)

always thought the crafting of "Attach ____ to spear" requiring tape felt weird when we had twine and rope. Good addition!!

every time i rip underpants and leave to menu of close game and rejoin my character is whipped on multiplayer any clues why or what type of mod could be causing this issue with your mod

how do you attach sheet ropes?
