Works for me on 42.10. The only thing is you cannot change day time (how many minutes are in 1 hour), but rest works perfectly (I've also checked new features like zombie hearing random from poor to normal)

I can't adjust the Time settings
Not show UI Time in sandbox option
Alpha Gamer 26 Jun @ 1:45pm 
The only issue I have with this is that in the main sandbox before you start your game you can set water and electricity cut offs manually example between day 14 and day 30 but in this sandbox there are no manual options its like 0-30

Is the Loot Respawn option missing for anyone else?

Does the mod show default Apocalypse settings when checking mid game? Is there a way for it to show the current settings rather than default?

Not to make changes but to confirm what I had selected before starting the game

Is it only for sandbox games? I want to change the voice of my pj in a survivale mode saved game, but it is not possible from ingame settings. Maybe this mod... Thanks in advance

change world time?

@Blessed Mother iirc there wasnt a way to do it via a mod manager after it started. You could only do it via console command.

Atleast thats what i found out when i wanted to change to a 2 hour day when b42 came out. and i was on a roll with that toon.

Needs the option to modify Time settings.

@Alpha Gamer - There's actually a bigger issue. The shut off options for water and electricity simply do not work . When the game is first launched, the exact shut-off day is chosen from the initial range - 0-30 days. Changing the ranges in the sandbox options does nothing because these days have already been set.

If you launch the game in Debug, you'll see two new boxes showing the exact shut-off days. Here the actual shut off days can be changed directly but the RNG element is lost as it will shut off on the exact day.

this mod specifically keeps wiping all my progress on the map. Not too sure why, markers are there but everythings just blank
maxkac5 21 Feb @ 2:19pm 
man i hope this works in b42 i have hella cassets (mostly due to mods adding alot of them) and carpentry for example after lvl 5 you cant get exp by disasembling/watching you can only get it by building ;(

I've narrowed it down to this mod that keeps restting my map. I have no idea why it isn't showing an error and it doesn't happen with vanilla no mods. Randomly I will reload my game and my markers are all on the map but none of it is explored. Even turning on all known at start doesn't stop this from happening.

Con el mod el corte de agua siempre me ocurre dentro de los primeros 3 dias, no importando que coloque de 2 a 6 meses.
LittleGiant 22 Jan @ 12:42pm 
Yes, no longer showing in 42.1.0. It was working before the latest update
demZo662 22 Jan @ 10:08am 
It throws an error upon reloading the LUA as for the version 42.1.0

Make it 42 build fecal mode :(

PSA: For those of you who already had this mod installed in B41 without a hotkey set, you will likely get a red error on loading the game. This is because the hotkey is no longer optional in B42, as mentioned by the author above.

Don't worry, you don't need to fiddle with files in your Zomboid folder - all you have to do is click the OPTIONS button in the main menu, then the MODS tab and you will prompted to set a hotkey.

No more errors, even if you later disable and re-enable the mod.

There is an issue with this mod and the time for water, electricity cutting off. In the starting sandbox options you can set them to cut off after 14 days, however when you use this mod, there is no longer an option for minimum days before cut off, it only allows 0 - 14 days, or 0 - 30 days etc... so if i change anything else in sandbox, it will overwrite my previous settings to not cut off before 14 days

go to properties, in launch options type -debug hit enter, start game, you now have the ability to change sandbox settings in the middle of a single player game

I tried this mod but only seems to work when starting a new game which kinda defeats the purpose since you need to adjust the sandbox settings before hand :/
QAstral 7 Jan @ 11:55am 
For those, who has error with this mod. You can do a temporal fix. Update %USERPROFILE%\Zomboid\Lua\ModOptions.ini
and change this line
keybind|ChangeSandboxOptions|sandbox_options_hotkey|nil
to this line
keybind|ChangeSandboxOptions|sandbox_options_hotkey|0

Then it will fix error + other mod's options.

[F.I] BlackDog 1 Jan @ 2:59pm 
It seems world time is no longer an option, was this intended?
2M4L 1 Jan @ 8:21am 
world time doesen't seem to be an option anymore which sucks
l122949r 30 Dec, 2024 @ 5:43am 
how can i change world time?
tankuwell 28 Dec, 2024 @ 4:11pm 
Thats understandable, thank you for the quick response and what you do.
star  [author] 28 Dec, 2024 @ 4:10pm 
@tankuwell,
I don't recommend doing that. This sandbox options window is a kind of hack, so it may result in undefined behavior.

Best use: For mod sandbox settings and light sandbox settings that don't require a game restart. And even then, it's not guaranteed to work.
tankuwell 28 Dec, 2024 @ 2:33pm 
Just wondering if you start a game with little to no zombies then change settings once you find your base you like then set the zombie pop to whatever. Not using the zombie respawn system.
JACK 28 Dec, 2024 @ 1:53pm 
maybe a stupid question but can you access this even if you don't click sandbox at world creation?

The Sandbox Options menu can't be accessed on Steam deck. Even using trackpad as mouse controls it ignores the menu option if I try to select it. Without mouse enabled it just skips past the menu when I navigate it.
Pacifick 29 Nov, 2024 @ 7:01pm 
Sauf que les changements de la sandbox ne sont pas sauvegardés, à chaque rechargement, on doit à nouveau relancer les paramètres !!!??????
Sir__Toaster 15 Nov, 2024 @ 12:02pm 
did anyone work out how to stop the setting changes rolling back? (externally hosted server)
