Simple Vaccines

Description
Are you tired of the uselessness of the First Aid skill in vanilla Project Zomboid? The First Aid Vaccines mod revamps the skill, allowing you to craft vaccines that increase your chance of survival in the zombie apocalypse.

Benefits:
- Makes First Aid Skill More Useful: With the First Aid Vaccines mod, the First Aid skill is no longer just a secondary skill. By allowing players to craft vaccines that offer protection against zombie infections, the mod gives players a tangible reason to invest in the First Aid skill and use it to their advantage.
- Adds an Extra Layer of Strategy: The addition of vaccines adds an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay. Players must now make the choice of whether to risk infection and avoid the extra steps needed to create a vaccine, or take the time to create a vaccine and ensure greater protection against zombie bites.
- Improves Survival Odds: By offering protection against zombie infections, the First Aid Vaccines mod improves a player's odds of surviving in the zombie apocalypse. With increasing effectiveness of vaccines as the player's First Aid skill improves, the mod offers a satisfying progression system for players to work towards.
- Fits with Core Gameplay: The First Aid Vaccines mod complements the core gameplay of Project Zomboid, which emphasizes exploration and survival. The mod requires players to scavenge the world for the necessary ingredients to craft vaccines, adding to the immersive survival experience.
- Adds Practical Skill Improvement: The mod provides a new and practical way to improve the First Aid skill in Project Zomboid, beyond the usual method of stepping on broken glass and bandaging to improve First Aid.

How do I create a Vaccine:
- First get a knife or even better, a scalpel
- Next kill a few zombies and Extract DNA from them
- Once you obtain zombie cells from the dead zombies boil them using hot water
- Next you need to gather syringes from hospitals/dental practices, or sterilize dirty ones found in dumsters or trash bins.
- Now you can craft a vaccine with the zombie cells, syringe, and other supplies.

How do vaccines work?

Upon taking a vaccine, your immunity will slowly increase over the next 7 days. After that, your immunity level will start to fade away over the next 24 days. It's recommended to take another vaccine as a booster occasionally to maintain a high level of immunity.

If you have the Moodle Framework mod installed then this mod will display a moodle letting you know when your immunity level is falling and below peak levels. It is not a requirement though.

If your immunity level is high and you get hit or bitten by a zombie, you have a chance of preventing the infection. The chance of avoiding infection depends on the type of vaccine you've taken.

The following is a breakdown of each vaccine and their infection prevention chance once at their peak:

1. Boiled Zombie Cells - 15% chance - lvl 0 First Aid
2. Crude Zombie Vaccine - 35% chance - lvl 3 First Aid
3. Simple Zombie Vaccine - 60% chance - lvl 5 First Aid
4. Effective Zombie Vaccine - 95% chance - lvl 8 First Aid

When taking the boiled zombie cell or vaccine how do you know the effect worked?

I have included mod options for users to change the effectiveness of the vaccines within the sandbox settings. Thanks to MacedonianMafia for the code to do this.

I also adjusted the lvl 8 vaccine too 100% so people who don't play on hard mode have a security to survive infection, if they have enough vaccines.
Immunity over time is kept and acts as an extra security on top of the curing mechanism, where you realistically have 4 chances. If every cure fails, you're done for it.
If you've taken the vaccine before infection, you have a 5th chance since this vaccine builds immunity to prevent zombification, yet if it fails and immunity is reset you have a chance to take that same vaccine working as a cure instead of an immunity intermediary.
Finally, when you are successfully cured, immunity levels are reset to prevent abuse, and all failed vaccines become available again since the body completed it's war against the virus.
I added you as a friend so if you like I can share the code. It doesn't matter for me since I made it for myself, but I think people will like this idea of having "realistic vaccines" with customability through sandbox options.

Hey, I made an upgraded version of your mod for personal use including sandbox options which provide:
- The option to enable hard mode, where all vaccine's potency's are halved
- The option to disable instant cure, so that it keeps settings from your original mod.
this enhanced edition acts as a intermediary for people who seek a more simple (not easy) cure for zombification, as well as a preventive mechanic like your base mod. The code is rewritten so that, when infection occurs, you still have a chance to cure it immediately with one of the vaccines. If the instant cure fails, and you try to take the same vaccine, it will become useless since your body created immunity towards that particular vaccine.

May I use this in my modpack?

Мод не работает, сделали 3 эффективных вакцин и не одна не подействовала, мододел говна

Can we have an option to change the cure chance? I feel like 95% is too high. Or could you make an "apocalypse" version with these numbers?

1. Boiled: 7% - lv 3
2. Crude: 14% - lvl 5
4. Simple: 25% - lvl 8
4: Effective: 50% - lvl 10

@kyrandos you need to cook the pot of water
Kyrandos 15 Sep, 2023 @ 11:27pm 
Mod does not seem to work. Can cut up zombies w/o issue, collect a pot, add water - recipe shows I have zombie cells, but pot with water does not satisfy.
