Project Zomboid Garbage Disposal Mod

This mod adds Landfills and Incinerators for easy and convenient trash removal. It has no dependencies on other mods.

Don’t you just hate having to pick up and move base every few months because of the massive pile of empty pop bottles, chip bags and rotting corpses? I know I do. In olden times you’d have to bring all your garbage to a parking lot and set fire to a stack of wooden crates only to have a zombie horde gleefully stagger in, catch fire and burn down the rest of the town. Well, not any more folks!

With this mod you’ll be able to dig a Landfill on any grass or dirt surface or construct an Incinerator and place it anywhere.

Landfill
Requires: Shovel
Special: You must be on a soft dirt type tile. Pavements/indoors won't work for these. Right click on the ground where you want to dig the landfill with the shovel in your inventory.

Capacity: 500

Incinerator
Requires: Propane Torch
Four Metal Sheets
Welding Mask
Metalworking: Level 2

Capacity: 200

The recipe for the Incinerator can also be found under Metalworking in the Crafting menu.

To remove or fill in the Landfill, right click near the bottom middle of the Landfill texture you see on the world and select “Fill landfill”. The Landfill will be removed along with all of the items inside it. Like with right clicking crops and some other tiles it can be tricky to find the right spot sometimes.

To burn the Incinerator contents, right click on the Incinerator (in the loot list or on the world object itself), have a Lighter or Matches and select "Incinerate Trash". This cannot be done if the Incinerator is not on the ground or is inside another container.

Both the Incinerator and Landfill are Containers. When they are on the ground near you you'll be able to access their inventories and move over any unwanted items for removal.

For convenience there is also the an option to list common items and automatically remove them from your inventory through the “tags” feature. To use this simply right click on a Landfill or Incinerator and click “Edit Trash Tags” then type the name of the item (lazy matching works with adding a "?" e.g. "Gas?" matches "Gas Can") or the Category you want to regularly trash and hit "Add" or press Enter. You can use commas to add multiple items at once from your tags list. Double clicking an item in the existing tags list will add it to the text entry box (helpful for quick removal/editing). While the tags might seem to pertain to an Incinerator or Landfill, this data is actually stored on the player object so your tags automatically apply to all Incinerators and Landfills (even those belonging to others).

When you wish to dispose of the items matching your tags you can right click a Landfill or Incinerator and hit “Pack Trash Ttems” this will take all of the items in your inventory that match with your tags and place them into the Incinerator or Landfill, including ones in any equipped containers while ignoring equipped items themselves (even if they match your tags). KeyRings are also ignored. This cannot be done if the Incinerator is not on the ground or is inside another container.

This tags functionality is based on code written by RoboMat for Convenient Bags https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=670807387
