Ah.., I found a potential issue. I think it's about incorrect description mentioning Metalworking Lv6. It should be MetalWelding Lv6. I have fixed the description. Sorry for incorrect info.

I recently tested and it works in B42.8.0

@Ryn_War Do you mean B42? Could you describe more what is the issue after update? I'll look into it.
Ryn_War 5 May @ 7:03pm 
Nope, wont work anymore afer update

i like that forge magazines,This makes the big hammer more useful,i hope i can use this to forge vanilla katana.

This is due to limitation on Events API. I can't check when it's first attached. It only trigger when equip/unequip. I'll keep eyes in the future if Events as something like onAttached etc. Then I can make it visible upon attach to back, or belt, etc.

Hang it on your back and press 1 to switch, then switch again

When I hung the samurai sword on my back, the texture display seemed to be incorrect

@whoisnext, Yes, I just added supports for both Tactical Sheaths and Katana Sheath mods in today release.
TnT4u 13 Mar @ 2:58pm 
@Mick awesome! I was using another katana mod but you can't repair/sharpen them and they spawn a little to frequently for my liking.
Mick  [author] 13 Mar @ 9:49am 
@TnT4u, Yes, you can! In fact, I just added the feature in today release. Thanks for the feedback.
TnT4u 13 Mar @ 3:54am 
Can you sharpen and fix it when its damaged?
No. 16 12 Mar @ 12:29pm 
@Mick, thanks I'll await your new sheath.
Mick  [author] 11 Mar @ 5:19am 
Hi guys, I decided to make a built-in Michonne's Katana Sheath. You don't need to craft it though. It will re-render with/without sheath, depending on whether it's equipped.
Mick  [author] 9 Mar @ 4:12am 
@No. 16, Do you meant the Katana Sheath mod. If so, we'll need the mod owner to add support for Michonne.MichonnesKatana . I can't do it from my side. However, I've commented in the mod page asking to have this mod supported.

Still not working for me, my Michonne's katana doesn't have the option of attaching it to katana sheath but normal katanas work and are able to use katana sheath. Is there something I need to do?
Mick  [author] 5 Mar @ 7:37am 
Hi guys, the attachment issue in B41 is fixed. B42 doesn't have the issue.

Have fun cutting zombies down :)
Mick  [author] 5 Mar @ 1:23am 
@DEIDARA for B41 I've checked and confirmed the attachment issue. As for the book, it's not missing. But if the game is started in B41 and carry on to B42, perhaps you need to wait for the item respawn.

How to Forge Katana magazines spawn at Bookstore, Classroom, Crate, Engineer Tools, Library, Living Room, Post Office, Shelf, Tool Store. Bookstore, Tool Store and Engineer Tools have the highest chance.

Thanks for reporting. I'll look into it soon, currently this issue https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/108600/discussions/0/595142571487952910/?ctp=2 blocking me from testing.
DEIDARA 4 Mar @ 8:41pm 
I have the same situation with attaching the katana to belt/holster. Also the is the book missing?
babab1t 3 Mar @ 9:39am 
I haven't been able to attach the katana to back/belt/holster while in debug mods and activate only this mod. When I hovered over the attach option of this katana it showed a red text and empty name for the destination of the attachment. Can you help?
ramabbott 2 Mar @ 9:57pm 
@Mick thanks. I've added it and tried a new start. The vehicle dashboard is back so that's a good thing.
Mick  [author] 2 Mar @ 7:25am 
Hi guys, I've republished the B42, it's now working.

For B42, you can use any mod sledgehammer now, as long as it's tagged as sledgehammer. The glue can be any glues. And leather strip no need to be cleaned.
Mick  [author] 2 Mar @ 5:10am 
My sincerely apologies for the breakdown. I was testing on B42 it's still on WIP. I've untagged it back to B41 only at the moment.

This mod gave me 5 hours of headache going through my mod list, because I couldn't fucking figure out this was the culprit.

It breaks cars UI and your fucking minimap

MOD BEAKS THE GAME FOR VEICLES DONT INSTAL 5H LOST
ramabbott 1 Mar @ 10:48am 
FYI I lose vehicle dashboards with this mod active in my mod list. I'm on B42 version and have tried with an existing save and also with a new start. have a lot of mods so couldn't say what the conflict might be.
TX3Gun 1 Mar @ 9:33am 
As of the update. This mod no longer works on our B 41 server.
Umecag.Z 20 Feb @ 8:39am 
Does this mod suits for B42?
caveira6614 21 Dec, 2024 @ 6:37am 
build 42 /////;;;
KeorRps 27 Sep, 2024 @ 6:56pm 
Cant craft it for some reason. Tried both the right clicking method and the crafting menu. Both result in a failure to build anything.
AlmightySosa 24 Sep, 2024 @ 9:13pm 
you cannot craft this no matter what
UrbanNoodles 30 Aug, 2024 @ 6:49pm 
@cartwrightfletcher Thanks for the useless stats on your cute little Amazon Prime sword there, champ.
Melancholy of Life 9 Aug, 2024 @ 10:25am 
@cartwrightfletcher toy katanas not meant for combat are not to be compared to actual forged swords. Which are, by the way, not manufactured. Cheap copies are manufactured.
Dani C 10 Feb, 2024 @ 3:28am 
buenos dias alguien pudo crear o encontrar la funda de la katana, ya que todavia yo no lo pude gracias y sin ella no me deja colocar en la espalda
Zefiruz 11 Jan, 2024 @ 12:07pm 
Este mod me encanta y es genial agrega una de las mejores armas del juego pero haciendo referencia a the walking dead lo único negativo que veo es que es muy fácil de acceder a dicha arma mínimamente debería tener un requisito de metalistería al 10.

thanks mick

It's a shame that only the "vanilla sledgehammers" work and not sledgehammer variants added by other mods.
cartwrightfletcher 20 Sep, 2023 @ 11:50pm 
I have a katana at home so I have the opportunity to check its height and weight so after weighing it (unsheathed) I got

-69(nice) cm in length
-0.3 kg in weight

the average of 1.1 - 1.5 is most likely taken from katanas with the sheath on because I weighed it with the sheath on and got 1.3 kg so it turns out it should actually be made significantly lighter, they are manufactured weapons so they are MUCH lighter than you think.

My man this is so Op
handego 7 May, 2023 @ 5:53pm 
Is it possible to enable it on a running early server?
Caveman 7 May, 2023 @ 5:26pm 
I cannot craft the sword either. I have tried everything from comments to mod notes
Zerthyr 21 Mar, 2023 @ 2:01pm 
@Mick sorry for the super late reply, thanks for adding it! Been loving my katana throughout multiple plays! 😀

This mod makes so you can use Michones Katana with Tactical Sheats
Mick  [author] 24 Nov, 2022 @ 9:49am 
The code to attach is in the Tactical Sheaths, currently supports "Base Katana". We may need the Tactical Sheaths creator (@york) to help on adding the compatibility for "Michonne Katana"
Mick  [author] 24 Nov, 2022 @ 9:25am 
@Zerthyr @Gutago I missed putting 1 Wood Glue in the description. Add 1 Wood Glue and the Forge Katana menu will appear.
Mick  [author] 24 Nov, 2022 @ 9:22am 
Guys, I'm so sorryyy. I forgot to put 1 Wood Glue in the description.
Zerthyr 24 Nov, 2022 @ 6:53am 
So, as I've seen several comments asking this, but still no answer, can anyone tell me how to actually craft the katana? I have 8 metalworking, all the materials/tools and read the magazine. It shows in crafting menu, but I can't actually select craft (even though I have everything that's needed highlighted). Also, obviously, tried the mentioned way of "right clicking any material", but there is no option to forge katana. Am I missing something extremely obvious here? Thanks in advance!
