i want to be able to capture and tame zombies, using bio chemistry, nueral implants, imagine all the loot you could haul by making them wear backpacks and maybe even train them to do basic tasks like turn the wheel while walking in a circle, zombies giving us power for are bases anyone. or even the option to cure a zombie and get a companion / who dosnt want to get all doctor frankin stine lol/

If updated, will it still work for Build 41? I don't like unstable builds plus multiplayer is off.
Blastmetal 9 Jan @ 9:52am 
Alright well ill let you cook, im just going to have to be patient for all your mods you seem to be waiting on stable 42, and knowing the Indie stone that might take while, peace :)

@Blastmetal Not right now, but hopefully in february I can release the update! Since I'm adding new stuff and adapting some feedbacks, it will be a different mod, so I don't modify this one for those that are using it in MP servers. :espresso:
Blastmetal 9 Jan @ 9:31am 
Is this still useable in build 42, or is this currently on hold considering all the new recipies in the game ?

I appreciate the idea and all the effort that went into this mod. ty
WIILIME 13 Sep, 2024 @ 12:08am 
me and the gang use this mod in most of the runs we do (and I do ALL THE WORK!!) but really all I can ask is these two things

1.) by the time we start levelling biochemistry, corn isn't very abundant in fresh form and you cannot use rotten corn to make ground corn, that and canned corn isn't applicable either for making it, so i just think that this could be taken into consideration perhaps
(yes foraging is an option but it would take too long to find corn by itself)
2.) please lower the mixer volume i WILL cry if you don't

Can it be possible for you to make more chemistry mods?

@ricksdetrix It looks pretty feasible to adjust the skill levels for each recipe in the 2926708416\mods\Biochemistry\media\scripts folder since they're all just in a text file called "recipes_BiochemistryLife". Would lowering the skill level required for some of the smaller recipes like stones glue and wood glue to level 1 help with grinding it up at least?

I'm considering doing that in my current playthrough along with maybe lowering the petrol and liquid propane skill levels considerably, since it's rare to even hit level 5 sprinting in game, let alone level 5 chemistry.

It seems easy enough to just lower the skill levels needed, but curious if this would have other unintended consequences with the skill books.

This is such a great mod in theory, but I've never been able to actually use it. The balancing is a bit off; you have to grind stones (literally) or make hair dye to get to level 1, then make glue paste to get to level 2, then you can make wood glue (the first useful item you can make)

Then you have to keep doing that til level 4, where you make liquid propane, but you can't make it useful til level 7, and petrol requires level 6. So basically you have to grind to level 6 to be able to make the ingredients for all the level 4 recipes, which is just.. weird. It's always held me back as I get started using it, then falter when I have all the basic materials but can't do anything with them.

If you do want to stick with this mod, find as much flour and paint, all the skill books, and be ready to grind those recipes for about a week ingame. Once you have the skill levels for the useful stuff, it's great, but yeah, needs rebalancing
专业搞事(逝) 21 May, 2024 @ 9:47pm 
I think it's strange that making glue itself just require Lv1 skill but a higher skill level is required when collecting all the material to make glue by crafting them.Does it mean that all the material can be found in the map or be collected by foraging?

@TomRock @NerdgamerDave Mod was updated to handle an independent module for current items, this was made to fix some compatibility issues with other mods, but this mod still works perfectly, sadly items have to be farmed again since current saves detect it as a new mod, i apologize for that :(
TomRock 2 Apr, 2024 @ 3:08am 
@ NerdgamerDave same, but i also noticed all ingridiens, disapeared also disapeared all skill books from all the world... so i presume mod is broken :(

Logged in after the update and the distiller and other tools were all missing.

Easy to spawn back in, but anyone know if the update may have reset/removed the tools?

Hello. Verified by "MOD MaD's Awesome Zombie Loot" that "Base.BioMag3" does not exist.
The premise is a bug in the "MOD Biochemistry of Life".

Hello everyone, thanks for all your feedback, hopefully in march 2024 i'm gonna keep updating this mod, since right now im working on a self-game.

@Spunky249th i'm aware of unbalanced leveling skill, gonna be corrected next update

@WolfQueen Antiviral doesn't cure zombie infection, it is only for flu, neither Antizin, this one restart zombification, but it doesn't cure it; and yes, i have some patchs to make for this mod for another mods, but it is no priority for now.

@LykosNychi There could be some problems with Infection Mortality: Never, since antizin gives you zombie infection if you use it without being infected, so, avoid it if you play with that modality.

@sniperxblade71 it is supposed to consume only a low % of the battery, just to electrify the recipe.

@Scipio Hopefully in next update im gonna correct that, some magazines spawn more in houses than libraries or stores, or mostly never, kind of a hard mode spawn. :steammocking:
Spunky249th 26 Dec, 2023 @ 3:53pm 
Leveling this skill takes a HUGE amount of effort. I got excited because my server has finally gotten to the point where leveling this skill is not dangerous. Unfortunately making a massive amount of hair dye or finding and pounding 200+ stones seems a bit excessive.
WolfQueen 5 Dec, 2023 @ 10:13am 
I have 2 questions (sorry if they have been asked before. 1: dose Antiviral cure zombie infection (i don't really like using cure mods so thought i would ask). 2. are you able/willing to make an addon or patch for An Exhilaratingly Organized Literature Mod?
LykosNychi 19 Nov, 2023 @ 10:03pm 
Hi there!

Any idea how the Antizin in this mod might interact with something like, Antibodies, or Infection Mortality: Never?
sniperxblade71 17 Nov, 2023 @ 4:01pm 
Wanting to make sure this isn't a bug but the only mods im using are cheat menu and this one when casting a sulfuric acid barrel is it supposed to consume more than 1% charge of the battery or just 1 percent?
Scipio 2 Nov, 2023 @ 11:42pm 
I am having difficulty finding the Organic chemistry Vol 3 book. Been to dozens of book stores and libraries, got every other book available except for Vol3. Anyone else experience this issue? Anyone gotten the organic chemistry vol 3 book?
Koprik 18 Oct, 2023 @ 3:16am 
Ricksdetrix yeah same problem on our server, there is hope that autor of this mod make fix for it.
Ricksdetrix 18 Oct, 2023 @ 2:32am 
Found it, oof that took a long time. Lifestyle mod conflicts with biochemistry. Something to do with the right click menu, maybe the same use of 'life' in the code?
Koprik 16 Oct, 2023 @ 6:43am 
Ricksdetrix which other mods are you using together with Biochemistry of Life?
Ricksdetrix 15 Oct, 2023 @ 1:38pm 
I can't seem to read the books for some reason

Marbien 26 Aug, 2023 @ 10:05am 
If y'all distracted by the ingame skill names (IGUI_perks_Biochemistry) , you can add English translatation in this directory:
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2926708416\mods\Biochemistry\media\lua\shared\Translate/EN (Add new folder named EN )
Inside those EN folder, create .txt files. Type:

IGUI_EN = {
IGUI_perks_Biochemistry = "Biochemistry",
}

If it is doesn't work, you can add a line inside \media\perks.txt . Open the .Txt files:

VERSION = 1,

perk Biochemistry
{
parent = Crafting,
name = Biochemistry
translation = Biochemistry,
passive = false,

*add those bold line*

will you ever be able to make beer in the future I wanted to made a bar for friends
Abyss Walker 16 May, 2023 @ 6:31am 
I find a bit annoying to have to look for just certain water bottles to use as fluid containers on the crafting recipes. I'd consider to add more of them. Even trying o accept other common bottles, like the ones in AuthenticZ, LeGourmet, and so.

Very interesting mod! Good job :)
a quality meme 29 Apr, 2023 @ 8:20pm 
I like this mod because it's an alternative to the refillable propane mod, but can you fix the Biochemistry skill name showing as "IGUI_perks_Biochemistry" because it's kind of distracting.

Does this include making of normal glue?`If not, possible to add? Thanks! Cannot wait to try this out!
XOXANA 24 Mar, 2023 @ 8:12am 
Plz, how im up my initial skill biochemistry???????????????
Fylas 9 Mar, 2023 @ 6:12pm 
oh god I've ben trying to fix it for so long and it was driving me crazy, I genuinely thought I screwed up my load order, turns out the skill from the story book thingy is just mistranslated too XD
Mereszhka  [author] 9 Mar, 2023 @ 8:56am 
IGUI skill name it's just a mistranslation to english, im still working with translations to another lenguages, but it will be fixed in the next update, it doesn't affect in anything else, thanks for the feedback.
LialahCrowley 8 Mar, 2023 @ 11:28pm 
Having the same issue as Fylas. I have it last in load order. Also loving the mod so far!
Fylas 8 Mar, 2023 @ 11:39am 
I must be doing something wrong :<
it says IGUI_perks_biochemistry as the skill name for me ;_; is it the load order or something?
Peanut 7 Mar, 2023 @ 9:53am 
like i said i only know the recipe and i thought it would be a cool addition, i dont know much about explosives just how they function
