Plastic Bag Mountain

Description
Too many plastic bags? Make them into garbage bags! A Super simple recipe to be updated at some later time in to something much less omnipotent sounding.
====03/20/2017====
Update is Immenent, with ItemZed around I have no excuse not to fix this up. I'll be adding things to the game as I see fit, if it overlaps any current ones (which I will try not to) then I'll see about retractions or balancing.
=================

Everyone say thank you to Dudeman325 (and now Robbie too).

Current Version 1.0.2 / Compatibility With Mods (Re: Hydrocraft)
This should work with all versions ever of PZ unless they change their own game base and shouldn't screw up any mods or the like. It just (so far) adds simple recipies so that you don't have to live with the daily struggle of plastic bags and lining your barrels.
- Tested by Mello and myself, it works! Yay! Now I can move on to making other things like the liners and the like and tarps that can be used for barrels as well!

What does it do?
Plastic bag mountain allows you to use "Plastic Bags" - the useless bag we have that we carry around and sometimes find 80+ of if we're (un)lucky and then turn those in to garbage bags (or liners in the future) for use in collecting water and using in recipes. In the future it will also add other liners and possible other uses for bags.

Recipe
4 Plastic Bags, any sort of "Tape", and 5 seconds of your precious, dwindling, in game life time.
Please let me know what you think of the recipe -- More are being added in a testing folder, so there will be updates in that aspect, too.

Are mods not showing up for you in Steam?
Robbie helped me out.
1. Go to your Library
2. Right click Project Zomboid
3. Click Properties
4. There'll be a little button named "Set Launch Options"
5. A little prompt will pop up, type in "nosteam off" without the quotations and accept and it should work.
I personally didn't set a nosteam on, so this may crop up for random people, too. Thank you again Robbie!

Boring Preface
First mod of lame-o-ness or not, I've finally done it thanks to the help I got that made it so elementary even an idiot like me could do it! I'll be working on it to maybe give it its own sprite and also adding other things like using tarps or other sorts of bags if I can manage. I'm open to a bit of constructive criticism, suggestions and maybe a nudge in the right direction. Be gentle I'm still a tiny baby at this.

Permissions
Please don't do things with my mod in packs/place it places without my permission if you'd be so kind! Linking back here's probably the easiest way to keep it up to date, I'll be keeping my best eye I can here. Thank you!

TO DO
- Giving the bag-liner its own sprite instead of being a lame-o (top priority)
- Add "bucket + liner" for a non-carpentry water barrel ... some how.
- Add bucket + no liner + outside (?) 'cause let's face that, you step outside shove a bucket and there you go.
- Add pot/pan water collection? Different mod?
- Adding a "Melt" feature so that you can dispose of them, if you want. Will do this to garbage bags too. Why would you want to do this though? Idk you figure that out, I'm just adding features.
- "Burn" other bags/items feature once they become unuseable?
- Add an ACTUAL barrel liner, if we can have buckets, why can't we have a liner for the barrel as it's meant to have? They're a product. Note to self, please google the weight of said liners.
- Should there be small/big liners.
- Add "half" liners as an item and use tape/glue/etc to "fix" them.
- Look in to the "fix" system to see if I have to "fix" anything.
- Add "packaging" it comes in. Possible boxes?
- Is there a way to kill/nullify zombies with plastic bags?
- Add that ridiculous cat thing mom has on the fridge to shove those things in and has a million of them in there.
- Add something for the garbage bags (if you guys haven't tried Hydrocraft for this yet, you should!)
- Figure out a recipe for the tarps from tents to be used as "liners".
- Adding other sorts of "liners".
- Adding Hydrocraft Support or Version if needed (there should be no conflict).
- Posisbly adding other things I've wanted myself item wise, may make separate mod for that once this one is more complete (shhhh I want my pet fish, damnit).
- Hope to any Deity willing to listen that I'm doing this right.

Thanks for the comment @pgames-food, that's really kind of you. I hope it serves you well and I hope that, yes, one day there's something like that for Neo. That game is so good.

this sounds cool - i never new what to do with the extras.
(if only there was a similar mod recipe added for neo scavenger for lots of bags into 1) - when i learn modding i might give that a go :)

You got it, Robbie. Already got a few ideas in mind! Thank you again!
Robbie 13 Sep, 2015 @ 11:36am 
np dude :) just keep making mods for us haha
Flextape  [author] 12 Sep, 2015 @ 1:47pm 
Robbie - I haven't heard of that before, I didn't know it existed! I'll go give that a try right now. Thank you very, very much for that. I'll see if it works and hopefully it's that.

Since I forgot to hit 'post comment' like a nerd, Thank you Robbie! It was that and I will put that right on the top of this mod so that anyone else having the issue can see, too!

Again thank you so much!!!

did u ever set nosteam on. thats on cause of mods not showing up.

to change just rightclick game in steam library, propertys, launch set options. in that section it should be no steam writen down, remove that. i hope this helps u
Flextape  [author] 11 Sep, 2015 @ 1:36pm 
Yep! That's how it's supposed to work. Again I can't test it because I can't seem to get any PZ mods on steam to show up in the mod section (I'm definitely on the beta and the rest settings wise), but you take 4 plastic bags and use some tape. I can post the actual recipe thing in here if you'd like!

A few plastic bags + some adhesive tape or other tape = garabage bag
