Bloodlust Trait

Description
With Bloodlust trait you have to kill to stay happy.
Bloodiness of your body, clothing and weapon affects your desire to kill.

Earn the trait by killing hundreds of zombies without rest while being covered in blood.

Features
  • You can't live without a daily afternoon kill!
    Gain boredom, stress, and unhappiness if hasn't killed for a while.

  • Body, clothing, and weapon bloodiness affects your killing mood.
    The bloodier you are - the more often you want to kill.

  • Killing is satisfying.
    Reduce boredom, stress, and unhappiness on kill.
    (Stress reduction includes stress from not smoking)

  • It's so much easier to kill while bathing in blood!
    Sharp* weapons deal more damage based on how bloody you are.
    * Axe, Spear, Long Blade & Small Blade. Also Fists because why not.

  • Bloodlust state moodle.
    Know when you're getting depressed because you haven't killed for a while.
    First level warns that you're close, second indicates bloodlust state.

  • You won't panic in bloodlust state.

  • Get that relief after a long no-killing break!
    Your first hit in bloodlust state will instantly kill the zombie.

  • Everything is customizable with sandbox options.
    Compatible with Change Sandbox Options (by Star) for changing sandbox options at any point in the game.

  • Bloodlust Trigger Addon
    Addon by Glytch3r & Wattson - allows to manually trigger the bloodlust state, adds additional knife damage and makes the player's eyes red during bloodlust.


Earning The Trait

You must be bloody enough.
With default settings, for example, your whole body must be 100% bloody + a little more blood on the clothing or held weapon.

Killing in such bloody state will add bloody kills.
You have to achieve 300 bloody kills by default.

If you washed off the blood - you will lose 1 bloody kill every 10 minutes.
This includes time in your sleep, so 8 hours of sleep will subtract 48 bloody kills.


Adding Trait when Creating a Character

The trait can only be earned by default.

But you can make it pickable by activating one of the BloodlustTrait*Points submods with desired cost.

Current options are: +4 and +2 (Negative), 4, 6, and 8 points (Positive).


Compatibility with Other Bloodlust Traits

Bloodlust Trait should be compatible with any mod that adds bloodlust trait.

These mods are confirmed to be compatible:
- Dynamic Traits
- Evolving Traits World (ETW)
- Expanded Traits
Let me know if there are any other mods that add bloodlust trait.

If you have any of these mods, you should enable BloodlustTraitCompatibility submod. This will remove other mod's versions of bloodlust from character creation, and will convert their traits to my mod's version.
You might also want to disable the ability to earn bloodlust in other mods, so that there is only my way of earning it.

If you want to remove BloodlustTrait mod and convert my trait to other mod's bloodlust trait, you need to enable BloodlustTraitToOtherMods, enter the save and wait a bit. You should see a message indicating that the conversion is done (or just wait a minute), then you can safely remove my mod.

Dynamic Traits
Inspired by bloodlust trait from Dynamic Traits mod.
The trait and moodle icon is theirs.

You can use Project Zomboid Debug mode to remove any trait from your character.

Is there a way to remove this trait from a character without removing the mod?

@GigaChadd
When creating a character, you can't pick both Bloodlust and Fear of Blood.

But you can still earn Bloodlust even with Fear of Blood.
Fear of Blood won't be removed, making this trait combination possible only by earning Bloodlust :sadistpolite:
GigaChadd 25 Feb @ 6:28pm 
so just wondering, if you have the fear of blood trait, and have this mod enabled, can you still earn the bloodlust trait through killing the zombies? Or does having the fear of blood trait prohibit the bloodlust from being earned?
