Random Start Enhanced

Description
Introduction:
Introducing the 'Random Start Enhanced' mod, an inspired creation drawn from Chemical Shock's "Random Start" mod, designed to infuse a deeper emotional resonance into the tumultuous world of Project Zomboid. Crafted with a longing for a more immersive experience, this mod allows players a fully random adeventuce adding an element of unpredictability to their journey.

Each new life embarks on a unique odyssey, brimming with unforeseen strengths and vulnerabilities, fostering a profound connection with your survivors. Say farewell to predictable respawns and embrace the raw, unfiltered challenges of survival.

Four Gameplay Options:
  • Full Random: Randomizes character creation, profession assignment, and trait allocation.
  • Semi Random: Randomizes profession and traits while allowing player control over character appearance.
  • Random Profession: Introduces a new randomly generated profession to the existing list of occupations.
  • Semi Random Profession: Adds a new randomly generated profession to the occupation list, offering players the option to customize their character's appearance.

Features:
  • Random Profession: Embrace a randomly assigned occupation, where your unexpected skills might be the key to your survival.
  • Random Traits: Encounter an unpredictable mix of negative traits and a variety of positive ones, utilizing all available trait points to shape your unique survival profile.
  • Random Occupation: Adds a mysterious new profession to the list, randomly assigning you a role with its own unique survival challenges and advantages, and should work with most mods.
  • Random Character: Experience the thrill of uncertainty as your appearance, name, and clothing are chosen at random, creating a truly unique survivor.
  • Random Spawn: Begin your perilous journey in a randomly chosen city, where every step is shrouded in uncertainty and danger lurks around every corner.

Mod Compatibility:
  • Should work with most mods.

Mod recommendations:

Notes:
  • Sandbox options can't be utilized in the main menu at the moment, so until the developers change this, I can't add anything like that.
  • Please ensure that you only utilize one of the mod options at a time!
  • Place this mod after other mods that add occupations if you want the random option to appear last.
  • Can be added mid-game.
  • Works in multiplayer.

The vanilla randomizer doesn't use all the points, and whenever we used it, someone would always cheat and change things around.
This mod fixes both of those issues 😁

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Ahhh tysM!!
ok, i'll use the Character Customizatione for my groups long term server. I like having the option to be fully randomized - iirc there is a button to random trait the character in vanilla but i haven't clicked it so im not sure on its features vs this.

either way though,, i've added the "Always Random Character Customization" one yesterday after biting the bullet and just picking one aha and yep it was like that. And it's PERFECT for my group's 'challenge' server of using Wolf Extract to start in a town and goal extract within 8~ days while hordes and stuff happen from other mods, with Day One. That fully random character experience prevents a ton of wasted time metagaming perks, it's great thank you.

Hello! I've forgotten to update the desceiption it seems.

- Random Start Enhanced: Adds a selecta ble option where everything is randomized.
- Always Random: Forces the player to use the "Random Start Enhanced" option.
- Always Random Character Customization: Same as "Always Random", but allows the player to customize the character's appearance.
- Character Customization: Adds a selectable option where the player can customize the character's appearance while keeping everything else randomized.

the 4 options are different to the description
"Random Start Enhanced"
"- Always Random"
"- Always Random - Character Customization"
"- Character Customization"

Am I correct in assuming that the base "random start enhanced" gives a selectable option to randomize, always random makes both character and traits random every time, always random character customization makes just character randomized, and the last 'character customization' makes it so character is left to the user to decide?

Hello Jordan82ish2! I might take a look at it when I have some spare time.

b42 update? :c

No, the randomized appearance currently applies only to the random profession.
Helikopterek 7 Dec, 2024 @ 2:41am 
is there an option to only randomize appearance

Hello Jordan98ish2. Sadly sandbox options can't be utilized in the main menu at the moment, so until the developers change this, I can't add anything like that.
