They Knew [B42]

Description
They Knew (B42)

The Knox County incident was never just an accident. They Knew. They just didn't know how bad. This mod is just updated code for "They Knew" for B42. Keep an eye out for the new and expanded "They Knew" coming soon.

TRANSLATIONS
Coming Soon.

THIS MOD ADDS
  • A new Hazmat Suit
  • A new satchel
    (can be worn WITH backpacks)
  • Zomboxivir: The inhalant that can purge you of the zombie virus. Further infections are unaffected.
  • Zomboxycycline: These pills are used in a manner similar to Malaria prevention medication. These pills prevent infection for 24 hours. Don't forget to take your medicine! (This is disabled by default, you need to up the drop chance in the sandbox options if you want it to spawn)
  • Zomboxolone: Pills that reset your infection, giving you more time to find cure, or at least search desparately for one.(This is disabled by default, you need to up the drop chance in the sandbox options if you want it to spawn)

Changes from other modders implimented

SANDBOX OPTIONS
  • Hazmat spawn: I have reworked the spawn system. The default of 0.3 is pretty dang rare. Play with it as you need to.
  • Drop rates: All three meds have drop rates. To stick with the classic mod, right now, Zomboxivir spawns on all the hazmats. You can change these however you like.

FAQ:
  • Can this mod be installed on an existing game/server?
  • Yep! Should just work. You will need to go to new areas to start seeing the zeds, or wait for respawns.
  • Is this multiplayer ready?
  • Dunno, we will see!
  • On multi player: See below.
  • When should I use my dose?
  • The best way to know when to use it, is when your character starts showing signs of infection! (Nausea, Nervousness)
  • Do I need 1 dose for each bite?
  • No. One dose will cure all infection on you. Even if you get bit 20 times.
  • Why is the bite still there after I use the cure.
  • Bite injuries will have to heal normally. The infection is the only thing removed.

COMING SOON
"They Knew" expanded universe mod. With at least 20 new zombies to search for, to gather lore drops and special items that you can trade to different factions of faceless npc's through my new "Dead Drop" trading system where you can gain reputation with the different factions and order special items. Special items like the medications from this mod will only be obtainable by trading lore items to "Them". I plan on adding a ton of special fun items to the mod, so stay tuned.

FEEL LIKE SUPPORTING THE AUTHOR?
I had to step away from modding for a while. My partner became quite ill and I had to scramble to try and make more money to support my household. I'm doing a lot better now, but I would love to focus more on making mods. Feel like tossing a dollar or two at me to keep me modding? Hit me up on Kofi[ko-fi.com].

Broken with 42.10. Game hangs at black screen on loading into map.

Additionally, it could be interesting if early antidotes weren't fully effective. Maybe at the start of the outbreak, they have a low success rate — and there's even a 50% chance that untested vaccines cause mutation instead of curing, turning the player into a powerful "super zombie" with high speed, damage, and HP. The longer the apocalypse goes on, the better the chances of getting a stable, safe antidote.

This would add risk, lore depth, and a unique gameplay twist to experimenting with early vaccines.

Hi! Thanks for your great work on They Knew — one of the best immersive mods for PZ.

I had a lore-friendly idea: could hazmat zombies with antidotes spawn more frequently the longer the game goes on? It makes sense that early in the outbreak there wouldn't be many (or any) scientists in the field yet. But weeks into the apocalypse, it would be believable that field teams were deployed into the infected zones, bringing antidotes and becoming infected themselves.

Also, maybe rare mobile science camps or underground labs could spawn — already overrun and dangerous, but offering high-value loot and more narrative flavor.

Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for your work!

@TheMan thank you for confirming, I was wondering why I had one turned off
Rocky Jet 19 Jun @ 9:02pm 
@ Monkey, That makes so much sense. I upped the preventive medication and put zero for the Curative. Thanks for the idea!
Monkey Magic 18 Jun @ 1:06am 
@Afterworlds - any chance you can put the descriptions in the Sandbox options? I keeping havingto come here to check which one is which when setting up XD

Even just the following would do:

Zomboxycycline (Preventative)
Zomboxolone (Palliative)
Zomboxivir (curative)

@LioTheManlyBadAssHero yes
LioTheManlyBadAssHero 7 Jun @ 1:06pm 
is this compatible with the antibodies mod?
Zewce 7 Jun @ 7:38am 
The amount of people tryna grab the B42 version for their B41 client is hilarious. Yall are why there's yellow paint everywhere, lol

NGL, I like the idea of these Hazmat zeds carrying Zomboxolone and Zomboxolone more often than the other meds. It just makes more sense to me that they would be carrying prevention medication, rather than the cure. One can explain away not using the prevention meds in that they mis-timed it and got unlucky, whereas explaining away the cure is a bit harder - they would have had to have been killed.

As such, I set the preventative to 75%, the delay meds to 20% and cure to only 5% ^^
