Tuning & Framework
- Version 1.0 includes a rough tuning that is tested by only one person.
- I do not know if it is too hard to be viable or makes the game too easy. I’ll need multiple detailed reports and advices on the tuning topic.
- Many parameters are available as sandbox options so you can tweak a bit without modding knowledge.
- The mod was built as a framework for other mods to add custom throwing weapons only from txt scripts.
- To create another throwing weapon take exemple on ThrowingStone.txt. It includes all the basic (item definition, model & creation recipe)
QoL
- You can use Auto Loot and activate it on all throwing weapons to smoothen the weapon retrieval.
- You can use your favorite Proximity Inventory to smoothen the weapon retrieval.
- Thrown weapons can break windows.
- Thrown weapons go through open doors and windows.
- Thrown weapons bother animals (but they do not kill animals because it would be a bit too easy to hunt animals this way without changing animal behaviors).
- Throwning bottles (specific new item from craft recipe) can be used to attract Zombies where it lands.
Credits
- Curve shape (height) for trajectory and event selection is inspired by the awesome Karas Parabolic Throwing.
- Distribution is partialy based on TwisTonFire advices.

FAQ
- Safe to add midgame, but profession and trait are not accessible after character creation.
- If removed from a save midgame, perk experience, trait and profession will be lost along with modded items.
- Should work for B42.13 and further versions. Built and Tested for B42.15.
- Works in single player only.
- Multiplayer is not available (even if it seems to work at first, you’ll reach inventory transfer problems and too much desync).
- Untested for splitscreen.
- Untested for joypad.
- If you still have bugs or questions, discuss those where logs can be shared, on Official PZ Discord: mod_support channel[discord.gg].
