Simple Vaccines Plus
Special Thanks to Dragyn0
A huge shoutout to Dragyn0 for developing the original mod and enriching our Project Zomboid experience! I recommend checking his work first to understand the full usability of this mod! You can it find here.
To be able to read all changes, refer to the Change Notes. A short list will be added below with key changes.
- Added more knives for extracting Zombie DNA.
- Added a recipe to craft a Dirty Syringe.
- Adjusted the probability, involving Knife type and First-Aid skill level, in succesfully attempting to extract Zombie DNA.
- A failed Vaccine now resets your Zombification Timer.
- If you retake a failed Vaccine during a particular infection, your character gets very bad negative effects.
- Added two new Syringes: Syringe With Water and Syringe With Blood (both easily craftable) to test if you’re infected and to test which Vaccines have failed.
And most important:
- Empty Syringe can now be filled with water. Boil it in an oven or microwave in order to get the Syringe With Water. Or use it as a drinking container.
Find yourself a sharp tool, like a good quality knife, or even better, a scalpel, to extract DNA from zombies to start your research. Take note that First-Aid Skill and type of knife are taken into account for the duration and probability of extraction. You can First-Aid skill after every successful and extraction.
This mod adds four craftable vaccines: the Boiled Zombie Cells, Crude Zombie Vaccine, Simple Zombie Vaccine and Perfect Zombie Vaccine. Every Vaccine has their own curing chances (changeable in Sanbox settings), giving you four options to fight the Zombie Virus.
There are two testing Syringes added; Syringe With Water and Syringe With Blood. The first one checks for failed vaccines during a particular infection ( a failed vaccine can only fail once per infection, it is NOT permanent) and the second one checks if your character is infected or not. This adds testing purposes rather than telling the player if a vaccine failed or not.
Most craftable items can be found in the Virology tab. Although almost all craftables are self-explaining, some items need logic. The Syringe With Water is crafted by filling an Empty Syringe with water, and then cook the Filled Syringe for 10 minutes in-game.
If you fail to boil the Zombie DNA Cells, it is because they have to be crafted with a boiled water source (e.g. Pot of water, boiled in an oven).
I refer to the original mod ‘Simple Vaccines’ which you can find here. They have a wonderful guide on the subject and cover immunity very well.
Compatible and tested with Build 41.78 . Tested with 150 mods loaded (feel free to ask the list), although be careful using this mod with another vaccine mod or mod which adds syringes to the game. A fresh save is not needed, although you won’t find syringes in already explored parts of the map. DO NOT LOAD THE ORIGINAL MOD WITH THIS ONE.
- I added some knives and sharp tools from known mods like Bushcraft gear and Tools, and from Scrap Weapons
- Note that if you cured yourself with another cure mod, and you took Vaccines from this mod which failed to cure you, these taken Vaccines will NOT reset and will be treated as Failed Vaccines.
If you find bugs, have inquiries and more, feel free to comment! I will try to reply as soon as possible! Enjoy the experience.
Big thanks to Dragyn0 once again for making the original mod, seriously, man is a god for me! Without his effort making Simple Vaccines, this enhancement of the original mod would’ve never existed. You can it find here.
