10 MORE Must Have Project Zomboid Mods

hey hello howdy how you doing a couple months ago I made a video covering 10 must-have qol mods in Project Zomboy well you all seem to really like that one so I'm gonna keep beating this dead horse until the mod authors stop putting out bangers full disclosure these are 10 more of my personal favorite mods these May differ from your personal favorites and that's okay there's no need to spew out half big diarrhea all over the comments about how these ones suck and you prefer Arby's over Wendy's that being said if you've got any mod authors that you don't think get enough recognition let me know and I'll see what I can do to add them to one of these videos in the future in no particular order let's start with one I've recently discovered have you ever killed like 50 zombies and then spent hours checking each corpse for things like watches leather jackets knives really anything of value well proximity inventory by MX streamlines that entire process essentially it takes every item within lootable range and stores it on one tab for you this way you can select all the digital watches in one click rather than going through each zombie corpse to check this also works with containers as well in this clip we're at my base on one of my PC servers normally you have to scroll or Click on each container to check for items well with proximity inventory you can see the contents of every crate in your lootable radius and grab the items you need in an efficient manner this mod is customizable and can be turned on or off by right-clicking the globe in the top right of your inventory tab When selecting it you can also enable Force select which locks your loot table to proximity inventory so you'll only be able to look at items from that tab this really just prevents you from accidentally scrolling to other corpses or lootable containers it's very useful when you're actually looting items from this tab since by default when you loot an item it'll pull up that container as you loot it this is shown in the warehouse clip where whenever I grab an item it changes from the proximity inventory to the crate that the item is in with four select active I'll stay on the globe container overall a fantastic mod if you hate the tediousness that comes with looting moving on to another personal favorite I don't need a lighter by fingbell is a must-have for any run where loot is insanely rare or if you just hate to always have a lighter or matches on you with this mod you're able to light a cigar or a cigarette Threat by using a grill stove campfire or even a microwave this has become a staple in both of my servers and almost every playthrough I run since I always grab the smoker tray and while it may not be the perfect fix it's a feature that I think should be in the base game like come on I can't tell you how many times I've seen people use a stove burner to light a cigarette in real life it just makes sense now the main argument to this is that it removes the need for lighters and matches and if you're one of those people thinking that this mod makes smoking too easy well there's another version you can check out I might need a lighter by the same author covers that for you with this mod it takes the same premise of being able to light cigarettes off of stoves and all that but with the added risk of potentially burning yourself these options are all configurable in sandbox settings and you can even choose to allow which items you'd like to be accessible such as turning off the ability to light a cigarette by using a microwave next up I wanted to include kill count by Chernobyl another staple and not just my servers and playthroughs but pz as a whole the mod itself has almost 2 000 reviews with a 5 star rating and is beloved by everyone kill count creates a more in-depth tracker for each zombie killed in game this includes things like zombies killed by fire and by car by default kills are organized by combat skill but can be broken down by individual weapon if you click on that skill this is nice if you're looking for more information regarding your kills or if you're tracking stats for a challenge it is worth noting that the kills recorded with fire and cars do not count towards something like become desensitized which requires a minimum kill to be reached with weapons specifically one last tidbit with this mod if you go into sandbox settings you're able to select export kills which logs each kill into a text file this can then be exported out in your zomboid folder under Lua killcount.text for a full file path check out the mods page in the Steam Workshop to make this mod even cooler when using it on a multiplayer session such as a dedicated server you can actually see the total kill count for each individual player moving on to another mod that's made its way into my core lineup we have exhaustion boosts Fitness by revolver Bobcat this one is a nice qol mod that makes grinding Fitness way more viable if you don't know it's near impossible Level Fitness past level seven this mod scales Fitness XP as you become exhausted by adding a modifier at different ranges it's one of those only fixes for Fitness that isn't completely overpowered by itself that being said it is possible to stack this with say the working treadmill mod and pound out Max Fitness in a few days if that's a route you wanted to explore this mod features a normal version and a reduced version for those that want to provide a boost without it scaling to say a 25 times modifier at Max exertion for those wondering we do run this on both of our pz servers and we ran the reduced version and for the Iron Man series you might have seen previously in general sole filters mods are incredible I don't think there's a single one that you shouldn't check if you don't believe me every mod they've released has 5 stars on the Steam Workshop drinking time in particular is one that I like because I'm lazy this essentially allows you to fill up items that otherwise be used as junk those empty tin cans that you've been Hoarding in the corner well now you can fill those up with drinkable water as applies to empty soda cans beer cans red Solo cups paint buckets and even empty gas cans now I can 100 see how it can be perceived as a little busted since you can hold more water in a gas can than any other item but I think it also provides some usage to items that would otherwise be left on the floor to collect dust the managed containers mod by Jeff may very well be the best mod on this list I'm not sure how many Minecraft vets we have here but if you've ever built out an auto sorter for your storage area take that concept and distill it down to a simple mod with this mod you can right-click a container such as a crate and assign an item category to it there's also an option to select multiple which you can do by holding shift and left clicking additional categories from there make sure you're in range of the containers then select the loot in your inventory right click and click the put in assigned containers tab now you can just sit back and relax while your character goes to work automatically sorting out your loot for you this can be as simple as sorting an entire category into a container or can be as specific as allowing individual items to be placed per container to do this simply right-click to configure the container and then select toggle Advanced view this will open the tab to include every lootable item in the game from here you can use the same method of clicking or shift clicking until you have all of your desired items selected overall this is a fantastic mod for loot goblins like myself and it really helps to keep your base organized now if you're looking to add this mod to your current playthrough but want to organize your current storage room that's in complete disarray throw on proximity inventory and grab loot from that menu right-click and automatically sort through your entire storage with the click of a button this next one is pretty simple but it's very useful for new players who are trying to get used to the crafting system in zomboid created by Binum craft helper adds a simple UI tab that allows you to see every recipe that an individual item is used for recipes in green mean that you're currently holding all of the required materials to craft that item whereas recipes in red indicate that you don't have that item unlocked yet the recipe is listed in white text mean that you have the recipe unlocked but are missing supplies needed to craft that specific item for example this is what it looks like when I open the craft helper tab for plank as you can see I'm currently holding a chip stone and a plank so I'm able to successfully craft a drill plank when I move to make a sturdy stick however I'm not able to craft the item since I don't currently have a saw or garden saw on me when I hover over the option to make a wooden box strap you can see it's in red because I haven't read the Hunter magazine Volume 2 which unlocks that recipe for me one important piece to note here is that you can't directly craft items from the craft helper at the time of recording this currently only shows you which items you're able to craft with the selected resource that being said it's still incredibly helpful when you're learning the game or whenever you add additional recipes via mods especially when you consider the fact that the crafting menu in the game currently will not show you recipes you haven't unlocked yet such as the Box strap that I haven't read the magazine for no I don't want to brag but being slightly autistic I can't stand not having my bags organized properly by my standards at least see I have a very specific way that my bag setup goes General inventory first Keys second then backpack followed by fanny pack and then anything else lasts so you can imagine my frustration when I pick up a backpack out of order and now my inventory looks like this well thanks to not lock I don't have to drop all of my bags and then pick them up one of the time in the optimal order instead I can use the reorder containers mod and move them back to how they should be it's incredibly simple to do you just need to click and hold each icon and drag it around on the container menu this way you can set your order however you most enjoy it without having to drop each bag and figure out which one to pick up first every time you want to change something around overall it's a fantastic qol mod that should probably be in the base game one of my favorite aspects about this mod is the fact that your containers will remember the order you set so if I drop my keys I'm able to just pick them up and they'll go back to that number two slot without me having to do anything about it Firearms 41 by haizo may be the most balanced Firearms mod currently in Project zomboid the mod itself adds a variety of new guns such as an MP5 and AK-47 an M60 and a ton of pistols and shotguns to the game by itself the ARs and SMGs feel very weak but there is a patch mod that's embedded within the current mod that you can enable to buff the damage of ARs and SMGs making them viable options for reference the footage you're seeing in regards to assault rifles and SMGs includes that rebalance this works great if you're like me and just want some more variety in your weapon choices without going completely overboard all in all this adds 23 new guns to the game though some of them are basically the same thing such as the Colt Python and the Colt Python Hunter it doesn't include as much variety as say britos but it also doesn't feel as Barren as the vanilla weapons the loot pool is based off of the vanilla guns as well so it's very unlikely that you're going to find something like an M60 in a police station you'll still have to go to the high loot pois like the military checkpoints and surplus stores in order to find those stronger weapons that being said I have found AK-47s in the police stations so it's not impossible to find good gear in common areas just more difficult than something like brittles last but not least I have the Four Color big pen created by ollipro truthfully this one is on here more for the memes than anything but it's a fan favorite in the community and another mod that if I were ever to remove it from our servers might incite large-scale riots that's on shockwaves through the pz community on its own it's literally just a pen that you use to use in middle school that allows you to write notes in black red blue or green though that's not the real reason people like this mod the real reason people go absolutely manners for this is due to the legendary big Excalibur crafted in the fiery depths of Mount Inc and handcrafted using the strength of 10 000 Bic pens this absolute unit has the largest range of any melee weapon I've ever held match that with the fact that it takes one swing to send any zombie to the shadow realm and you're in for a good time most players I know will stack this weapon of the Gods with more traits grabbing the prowess blunt skill for an additional 20 damage and then proceeding to go to war on Knox County spreading the word of the great Excalibur seriously this weapon is completely broken but if you're looking to have a fun time and don't care too much about realism in this game then this one is perfect for you it's such a status symbol that players dedicate entire sections of their bases just to show off the weapon truly a remarkable addition to a fantastic game and with that we've come to the end of another list as I mentioned in the beginning these are 10 more of my favorite mods that I think are worth checking out but let me know what you think are there any hidden gems I missed that you think should be added and also are there any mod authors that you think deserves more than Limelight I'd love to keep showcasing mods like this and these videos are a way that I can do that very special thank you to my YouTube members and patreon supporters they're generally the reason I even find most of these mods at this point so videos like this quite literally would not be possible without them I appreciate you all and as always thanks for stopping by
