Description:
Bug Zapper 9000 is a collection of over 20 patches for Zomboid that I have put together.

This mod aims to be different from other patch collections by keeping track of when each bug was reported, patched and last verified as still needing patched.

All patches are lightweight lua patches written by hand with a focus on compatibility with other mods. This mod can be added/removed at any time and does not change your save. Note: some changes to items will be only be applied to newly spawned items.

Future Goals:

Sandbox settings to enable/disable each individual patch
More patches! Feel free to submit requests in the comments. Its best to link to a bug report on the forum. If its something I can fix in LUA I’ll likely take a look at it.

Here is a list of all included patches:
