well, it's been like a year and a half but I finally decided to bring this mod back from its grave

basically completely re-wrote it so it SHOULD work a lot better now, I've spent quite a bit of time messing around with it on test builds and not found any problems so far

check the change notes for a full look at all the changes, fixes and improvements! :)

and of course if you run into any problems lmk, I'm still fairly novice at modding but a lot better than when I took a crack at making this mod a year ago, so I'll try my best to fix any bugs that might pop up

no problems ^^ i'll use the other mod you recommended in one of the comments below (Sneaky Infections) and try this one again now and then. i think i like this more than that one. i would have sent you the log but i didn't have the forethought to save one then xD;

Strange, truth be told I haven't yet played 41.66. While I don't see why that update would've broken the mod I can't say that it isn't. It's also possible you have a mod conflict if there's something else you're using that messes with fake infections but I'm not aware of many mods that would.
I'll see if I can get around to having a look soonish, in the meantime I'd recommend disabling the mod if it won't play nice, sorry!

i can't seem to be able to sleep without getting a random disease

I've updated the mod to hopefully make things run a bit smoother and more consistent, along with making it so that there's a chance you get away from being hit by a zombie without catching this mod's fake illness.

I've tried to make sure there aren't any bugs and if you're already using this mod after the update nothing should break, but if you encounter any problems please feel free to let me know. :)

Next up I want to try working on sandbox settings for things like severity, chance to contract fake infection and the time scale the fake infection works over. (In case you're using this mod not on 1-2 week mortality)

neat mod!

finally a mod where i can feel fear when i get attacked by a zombie

not that I could tell, I did see a trait on the wiki that had the same effect but it has been removed from the game apparently

Is this no longer a feature in the game? I remember having this happen a lot, at least in build 40 and before

Well I suppose I can try and look into it, but as I've said, not very much modding experience so I'm not sure how it'll go

true, but i like the random severity thing you got going

For the time being, yes
I'd recommend you the Sneaky Infection mod if you'd want something for a shorter mortality setting, as I don't believe there is a longer setting?

So, is this only really usable for 1-2 week mortality settings? id like to have it scale with other sandbox settings.
