I love your mod, making rope from threads is perfect, I can make bows in conditions of low loot! and always repair the fishing rod with the help of zombies!

This mod has a critical exploit: you can put perfumes in something like a stew to grind cooking XP. Perfumes don't get added or used up but you get XP from cooking.

Maybe you could add the ability to craft Wooden Hammers? I'm missing that rn :)

Would need to account for the crafting overhaul, which is STILL WIP.

We really need your Magic @spoon for build 42 , This mod for build 42 is a must have

Haven't played PZ for a while but I have no objections for my mods to be taken over by somebody else and updated/used any way they like!

@spoon you try to update to B42?

Hello, I found a bug, for some reason large backpack slows down your attack speed

В настоящее время это сломанный мод, он меняет так много вещей в ванильных предметах, что в конечном итоге ломает игру. :sakuraspacenami:
Breno 6 Nov, 2024 @ 6:08am 
atualmente é um mod quebrado, muda tanta coisa nos itens vanilla que termina quebrando o jogo, se você só quer as receitas remova os arquivos .lua e abra os arquivos de texto na pasta script leia as receitas que você quer manter e o resto remova tudo na wiki do jogo você acha a pagina que mostra como essas receitas funcionam

Baseball craft should be like minimum level 8 carpentry since it is such a good weapon and inexpensive to craft. Other than that great crafting mod, also just adding that is my opinion and I wait till I am high level carpentry in my solo runs. I don't want to get attacked just because I think that is an op craft.

Patching the sheet rope recipe:
1. Find this mod's folder, open the file mods\EssentialCrafting\media\scripts\SpoonVanillaECraftingPatch.txt
2. Find the recipe "Craft Sheet Rope" (line 247)
3. Edit the RippedSheets=16 to some other number
4. You can also edit the sheet rope's Weight to be lower, default Weight = 0.8 I believe.

@OttosTheName I'd do it, mod was last updated last year, creator has not responded in a year, no "Mod On Lockdown"/permission required. In comments of their collection "Project Realistic Overhaul", they said they don't play PZ anymore (Jun 21, 2024). The mod is buggy as hell and poorly balanced.

If you've got the eyes for code, I'd love to see that kind of rebalance, and to make it modular/configurable, like what number you'd like to set the large backpack's run/attack modifier values to be, and checkboxes to enable or disable base-game recipe for sheet-rope, since those are two massive complaints.

Currently, I'm uninstalling cause there are issues with eating portions of food - cancelling action with Eat 1/4 or 1/2 seems to eat instantly, and Eat All seems to eat about half. Ripping clothes in bulk in the inventory is also bugged. Best of luck with the patch and re-upload!

Butter knife spear, scalpel spear, spoon spear and some other spears are uncraftable due to Simple Overhaul: Melee Weapons that removes them, is there a way to use both mods?
Pollux84 25 Jul, 2024 @ 4:23am 
Not sure if it is this mod or the "Common Sense + Essential Crafting Compatibility Patch".
But ripping underwear does not work. The character is doing the animation and all, but it results in the underwear being gone without getting any ripped sheets. I was using the regular ripping with scissors in my inventory. I did not try forcefully ripping (I don't even know what exactly is different).

Aside of that this is a really nice mod and a great addition to the game! Thank you for this mod (:
PrincessNukem64x 13 Jul, 2024 @ 2:11pm 
Is this indeed the mod that causes character to sometimes get a scratch while disassembling watches?
OttosTheName 10 Jul, 2024 @ 8:10am 
As you probably know the runspeed modifier on the Large Backpack found on survivor zombies is massive. You can't sprint at all and you fight like you're overencumbered because of the runspeedmodifier = 0.8 and combatspeedmodifier 0.8.

I don't know why this is a thing, that's an incredibly harsh debuff. I assume you meant 0.98?

Would you mind me reuploading it with this fix? That's the biggest backpack anybody is likely to find for a year of playing high pop or low loot runs and having that permanent debuff is enough to uninstall this mod. But that fix would make it one of my favorite mods again.

reading glasses will help you read the text on your monitor faster if you don't have good vision at that distance.
Mikush 26 Jun, 2024 @ 12:10pm 
question does the reading glasses affect the reading speed? im really curious
Maxene 24 Jun, 2024 @ 9:21pm 
Does the crafting thing give any experience?
spiciernoodles 22 Jun, 2024 @ 12:56pm 
Does this make sheet rope cost 16 ripped sheets and take about 5 min to craft the amount of sheet rope you need to bundle 4 logs?
froggx 16 May, 2024 @ 7:52am 
love it how ppl wanna set graves on fire :hungry:
Rex 4 May, 2024 @ 12:43pm 
@RATO_BR, I was wondering the same. Figured it out. Useless scrap is used in the Make Duct Tape recipe, but you need to learn it first from Essential Crafting 101 magazine.
Sekonda 29 Apr, 2024 @ 5:24pm 
You have to make sure when picking up the body you "PREPARE IT FOR MASS GRAVE" so it converts to the body type for a mass grave.
[2CA] satri 14 Apr, 2024 @ 4:30pm 
Mass graves, as far as I understand them, work like this:

1/ Digging the grave: Have a shovel in your inventory, and pick a spot. I've only done it in forests/fields so far, as I assume it needs to be on actual soil.
2/ Preparing the bodies: to do this, you need to pick up a corpse (right click -> grab corpse). Once done, you will get an item called "Dead body". Drop it on/close to the empty grave.
3/ Filling the grave: You need 10 bodies and the empty grave item to show up in the "ground/floor" inventory window. Sometimes requires some shuffling around of the bodies.

All these steps need to be done in the crafting menu ("Misc" tab).
If done correctly, the grave will look like a mound of dirt.

@FunZed - As far as I'm aware, you don't set fire to the grave. You just bury the bodies, it's not a burn pit. According to the mod description, these graves should disappear after 40 days (can't confirm this yet).
FunZed 9 Apr, 2024 @ 11:45am 
Same thing, i put 10 bodies in mass grave and can't set on fire...
velveticaa 6 Apr, 2024 @ 5:01pm 
i can't get the mass graves to work :( any tips?
Morgan 28 Mar, 2024 @ 7:27pm 
May I add this to my modpack?
Tanyu Darkblade 28 Mar, 2024 @ 9:07am 
How do you make plaster powder and how do you use it? Because I had 5 bags and a bucket full of water and the option dindn't appear...

Hisu 9 Mar, 2024 @ 7:53pm 
Could we please get a submod to scale tailoring speed with the skill? From something like x2 time with no skill, to 1.5x with level 1, to 1.0x with level 5, to 0.4x with level 10.
FRANK HORRIGAN 8 Mar, 2024 @ 3:36pm 
tbh its op
scaliss04martix 4 Mar, 2024 @ 11:32am 
hey! I have a reaally big problem with your mod, that i have in my save with "Moubly's Long Term Survival" mod, and they can't work together cuz somehow they make every normal belt of the game explode with errors! So...is there any way i can make them work together? i really love them both :((((((((((((
force A tratt 27 Feb, 2024 @ 4:41pm 
ass hat ass clowns mod makes sheet ropes 10x harder to get.
ZunKo 23 Feb, 2024 @ 4:54am 
Is it possible to have a sub mod to remove the option to collect corpses Mass grav?
mthoms 20 Feb, 2024 @ 9:19am 
@spoon there’s a little exploit with the campfire recipe - you can craft it with twigs but when you disassemble it, you can get a stone or two! Bug is great for those who need tons of stone (like when using Ely0ns build menu)
toad 12 Feb, 2024 @ 2:04pm 
always thought the crafting of "Attach ____ to spear" requiring tape felt weird when we had twine and rope. Good addition!!
aril2 28 Jan, 2024 @ 9:06am 
every time i rip underpants and leave to menu of close game and rejoin my character is whipped on multiplayer any clues why or what type of mod could be causing this issue with your mod
Klolita 25 Jan, 2024 @ 8:51am 
how do you attach sheet ropes?
timofreee 31 Dec, 2023 @ 8:53pm 
Does this mod conflict with the Common Sense mod?
Viberipper 31 Dec, 2023 @ 12:13pm 
anyone know if car parts are craftable?
moooooo:duck 21 Nov, 2023 @ 3:37am 
What should I do after I made "prepare body for mass grave"? Body becomes an item and I only can place it somewhere
