Live with the virus

Description
*** Supports single play only ***

===========================================
Did you say it's okay as long as you don't get bitten?
It can't be...

===========================================

This mod drastically changes how zombie viruses are handled.
It is intended to make survival strategies more complex.

Viruses are now more familiar.
But it is no longer fatal.
Don't let your guard down, Survivors!

--- INFECTION FROM FOOD ---------
All foods contain trace amounts of viruses. This cannot be avoided.
This is very small compared to zombie infections and does not continue to increase spontaneously.
However, food is always in demand, so we have to keep up with ever-increasing levels of infection.
(excluding drinks)

Dietary infectious dose is assessed as follows:
  • Proportional to Huger recovery amount
  • Increases when the body is dirty (clothes are no count)
  • Increases with food age (some reset when cooked)
  • Decreases with drunkenness intensity
It is preferable to wash the body before eating, and take it fresh with an aperitif.


--- ADD INFECTION CONTROL --------
You have some deterrence and cure for the virus.
The following items do not spawn naturally.
Check the in-game search for crafting recipes.

AV Chemical SOL
Ingredients for antiviral agents, can also be used directly from the context menu.
When the following conditions are met, there is a 10% chance of preventing infection from wounds.
There are two types, inferior and superior, the latter having twice the effects and side effects.
  • Not accumulating infection levels (constantly clearing food accumulation)
  • In-game, within 30 minutes of injury
  • The Wound Is Still Bleeding

A side effect is intense pain, whether or not the wound is truly infected.
It works all over the body at once, but if there are multiple wounds that are bleeding, the pain is doubled.
It does not have the effect of lowering the already accumulated infection level.

The player does not know whether it is really infected or whether the treatment was successful, so it is desirable to use it several times each time you are injured.
However, considering the treatment of wounds and the time limit, realistically, 2 or 3 times is the limit.

Antivirus
Infection levels decrease over time.
There are three types, so let's consider them separately for daily use and infection treatment.
These effects are overridden by those used later.

  • Alpha
    Less effective and less side effects.
    Even if you eat as long as it works, it has enough power to counteract it, so if care is troublesome, take this medicine all the time.
    Infections from wounds have very little resistance.
    Duration: 72 hours, Side effects: endurance, thirst

  • Beta
    So many effects and side effects.
    It is effective when you want to lower the accumulated infection level at once,
    An infection from a wound has only enough power to stop its progression.
    Duration: 48 hours, Side effects: endurance, thirst

  • Gamma
    It has resilience that exceeds the speed of infection from wounds, and if the infection level drops to zero during the effect, it can be completely cured.
    However, it has terrible side effects. If you don't prepare a few days' worth of food and water and devote yourself to treatment, you will die before the virus is killed.
    Duration: 24 hours, Side effects: endurance, thirst, hunger

Notes
Immediately after the disease caused by infection Moodle disappeared, the virus still remained. If you want to completely recover, you should take and treat with plenty of time.

The infection level progress rate base is determined by the sandbox option "Infection Mortality".
The elements of this mod also follow this specification, but the author adjusts based on the default settings.

@Torkkar then go look for a mod that does that instead of commenting on mods that don't. wtf how do mod makers navigate this kind of entitlement

... ummm how bout NAH! I like the idea but I'm looking for an Infection mod to mimic TWD cause having the Virus to nonfatal & everyone's infected is close but now my leading COD is pull down or bleed out even if I'm bitten... LSS I'm looking for a mod that makes bites work with nonfatal infection just like TWD.
