Fruit Tree Chop
Enhance your survival experience with Fruit Tree Chop, a lightweight and immersive mod that makes chopping trees more dynamic, rewarding, and connected to the living world of Project Zomboid.
This mod adds natural, season-based drops — and now even rare wildlife events.
Make every tree you chop a little more exciting — harvest fruits, encounter insects, discover wildlife, and shape your own story in the forested apocalypse.
When a tree is destroyed, the mod generates:
- Seasonal fruits (0–3 base, scaled by station, species, size, and player perks)
- Seasonal insects
- A small chance for Wild Eggs
- NEW — Rare natural events:
- Wild Nests (twigs, feathers, eggs)
- Wild Beehives (Honeybees, Bumblebees, Zombees, Wild Honeycomb)
Beehive generation is fully integrated with items from [B42] ShelterHold : Beehive — no dependency required.
Drops appear on the ground automatically, without altering vanilla loot from trees.
- Seasonal Variety: Fruits and insects adapt to spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
- Dynamic Rewards: Different tree species and sizes affect drop quantity.
- Player Influence: Lucky, Unlucky, and PlantScavenging level now modify yields.
- Wildlife Events: Rare nests and wild beehives may appear when chopping.
- ShelterHold Integration: Honeybees, Bumblebees, Zombees, and Honeycomb included.
- Safe & Compatible: Uses instanceItem and respects SandboxVars.
- Fully compatible with existing saves.
- Does not modify vanilla tree loot such as logs or branches.
- Works with all map mods.
- Tested in singleplayer; expected to work in multiplayer.
- Servers: simply enable and configure via SandboxVars if desired.
