Bitten Trait

As Haxer was saying, I feel like this would work amazingly with the "true cure"/"amputation" mod. Gives you points but for a good in-game week or more you'll be slower and weaker in all forms of combat and interactions, but if you can make yourself a prosthetic arm you can slowly regain your strength and speed and after an in-game month you'll be back to normal.

Does it work with that mod? I have had many people ask about it before but I have assumed they are incompatible. So far no one has confirmed it though
Haxer347 12 Nov, 2024 @ 6:51pm 
im using this with the last resort mod so I can rush to find a saw and lob my arm off, a good start right there
Joy Tomaro  [author] 4 Aug, 2024 @ 7:04pm 
@Infected Ronin no. i wasn't able to find a way to make you have a permanent bite that wasn't constantly bleeding (without creating massive incompatibilities). the bite heals within about a month, but you can change the number so it is longer or shorter.
Infected Ronin 4 Aug, 2024 @ 5:41pm 
So, we are permanently bitten in the left arm forever?

Hello, thank you for the kind words and the mention. I posted some details on why i referenced your mod on the discussions page on my mod
Joy Tomaro  [author] 25 May, 2024 @ 6:11pm 
My other mod, immunity, lets you choose both this trait and the immune trait, and you can be like a protagonist character, such as Ellie from The Last of Us
Joy Tomaro  [author] 25 May, 2024 @ 6:09pm 
It is just for fun, but also for a challenge.

Some mods extend the duration of your infection or cure you. Or you can use this mod for a very short game

This is cool nice job. But I got confused by the concept of already being bitten.
Joy Tomaro  [author] 15 Mar, 2024 @ 5:04pm 
Sorry, I am not changing the cost. I have no plans of updating the mod and I don't have any intention to let this trait be beneficial in terms of points.

There is a mod called "you are infected" that gives trait points balanced for a different style of play: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2859281365

Also, I am not sure if the only cure is even compatible with my mod either way. However, if you already tested it and it works please let me know!
a quality meme 15 Mar, 2024 @ 3:27pm 
Could you add a sandbox option for the trait points? Since with The Only Cure this mod's bitten trait has the same point boost as the missing hand trait, the missing forearm trait being 12 points. Simply put, with The Only Cure, this is basically a worse missing forearm trait with the bonus of the needed agony of cutting off the arm, so if players had the option to configure the trait points to anywhere from 10-16 points the mod compatibility would be boosted all around.

Thank you!

@Joy Tomaro Thanks for your mods. They make the game that much better.
Joy Tomaro  [author] 18 Nov, 2023 @ 11:04pm 
i dont think it does. you are infected on spawn
Lumbercat 18 Nov, 2023 @ 9:54pm 
does work with the only cure?
Joy Tomaro  [author] 30 Jun, 2023 @ 11:49pm 
sorry, not planning on any updates of the sort on this mod.
SMITTYWERBENJAGERMANJENSEN 30 Jun, 2023 @ 11:11pm 
Can you add an option like the susceptible mod where everyone starts off with the trait? Want to do a wolf extraction 7 day scenario
Chop Chop 8 Jun, 2023 @ 5:15am 
ok, it didnt say body part in your description, but thanks, im loving this 2 mods that you have, feel like im making my own story. healing takes to long though
Joy Tomaro  [author] 8 Jun, 2023 @ 3:34am 
@Queen Raiza
Same place as in body part. From my testing the bug only happens after it is fully healed.
Rainoa 8 Jun, 2023 @ 2:55am 
if u talking about the immunity infection bug
that is if ur bitten in the same place again like the hand or upper arm
but i think it has to heal first than get bitten again not sure about that one though
Chop Chop 8 Jun, 2023 @ 1:11am 
so i would die if bitten again but in the same place? Like if i was bittan in muldraugh or around muldruagh and got bitten again ill die right away?
Joy Tomaro  [author] 26 May, 2023 @ 5:48pm 
thanks!
diamond booger 26 May, 2023 @ 11:24am 
so it ended up healing on the 29th day with the slow healer trait
thanks again for your mods :D
Joy Tomaro  [author] 25 May, 2023 @ 5:31pm 
99 is just the base bite time. it isnt a real unit of time but it is probably around 2 weeks. (default time is like 70 but i wanted mine a bit longer)
diamond booger 25 May, 2023 @ 3:17pm 
enjoying your mods immunity + this together in my current game.
just curious what does the value of 99 for the bite time to heal you mentioned below mean? is 99 = 99 days?
Joy Tomaro  [author] 23 May, 2023 @ 5:41pm 
@Turbotowns i dont know. you might have to try for yourself. unless that mod disables infection and adds its own system i would assume the bug would still occur
TiraboTurbos 23 May, 2023 @ 12:44pm 
How does the bite and it's infection, and that bug mentioned, play with Super Immune(From More Traits)(Basically, the zombie infection can't kill you, it'll just cripple you fro a couple weeks)?
Fleece21 15 May, 2023 @ 1:33am 
"you are a ticking bomb and you have no way to survive" the trait
Rainoa 20 Apr, 2023 @ 2:47pm 
will if u decide on making a gunshot/bullet injury trait mod (with bullet still in the wound) plz announce it here <3 so i find it fast >:3 hehe

do kinda wonder what other mods u have in the pipe lines :3 :machiko::cozytf2mug:
Joy Tomaro  [author] 20 Apr, 2023 @ 1:01pm 
the game automatically accounts for healing speed. even if bite time is pre-set, it will heal faster with certain traits and by bandaging the wound.

thank you for loving my mods! i havent been playing or working on any mods in a while but i have one unfinished mod that i'm really happy with so far
Rainoa 20 Apr, 2023 @ 8:19am 
ya at first i was kinda wondering if the mod even took into account for traits like fast healer + FirstAid skill... BUT i also wondered if you just had it set longer, not that i minded for reasons i have said before >.< but for some reason i just like to know random things & it can really bug me till i find them out X.x sorry about that if i was a pain at some point =^.^!=

also interesting i should look around for that than, all though i think i recall seeing one before called more traits mod but was not a big fan at the time but i should give it another look it has been a long time & maybe there is more than 1 version out in the wild

anyways you really did do some amazing work on your mods <3
:machiko::cozytf2mug:
Joy Tomaro  [author] 19 Apr, 2023 @ 7:39pm 
default bite time ranges from 50-80. mine is a minimum of 99, which is still longer than the default but not too much longer. hope this clears things up for anyone taking the trait

there are other mods that add injury traits, such as the More Traits mod. not sure about gunshot wounds tho.
Rainoa 19 Apr, 2023 @ 3:27pm 
o & on 1 of my tests i did get the bite to heal last night !!! so it is working here, still feels like it takes a bit longer on 99 for some reason to me but maybe the other bites are not as bad or something AKA also just heal faster due to that?! *shrugs*

its really not to important in the long run as it is a debuff after all & meant to add extra challenge/fun to the game. on that note could be interesting to see other debuff traits related to other types of injurys, like "Gunshot trait" you got shot and bullet still in the wound...
maybe random broken leg version, random broken arm

i really like the gunshot idea one lolz (totally maybe due to always wanting to treat a gunshot wound but never getting to yet >:3)
Joy Tomaro  [author] 19 Apr, 2023 @ 3:02pm 
removing the mod would just remove the trait but you will still be bitten.

to anyone who is asking why the bite isn't healing, the mod works perfectly fine on my end. it just takes longer to heal because i made the default time way longer than vanilla. if it really isn't healing (by default it is 1-2 months with this trait) then test it yourself in debug mode before reporting it
Rainoa 19 Apr, 2023 @ 9:11am 
random thought / question, dont think i would remove it this late into my current world anyways, maybe next wipe thought.

BUT if this mod was removed from a server & ppl had this trait what would happen?

i dont wanna say i would not remove it from current world but with the new info im thinking of maybe leaving it up to the players in a poll, BUT if the outcome is bad... than its pointless to even think about it anyways lolz
BrasileirinhoPe 19 Apr, 2023 @ 1:33am 
Never heal?
Joy Tomaro  [author] 7 Apr, 2023 @ 2:44pm 
no problem. the mod always gives you a bite on the left forearm. even if i set it that a bite is not infected, the game will still remember you were bitten there, and use that to measure the "infection mortality" time if you get bitten there again
Rainoa 7 Apr, 2023 @ 6:40am 
OMFG

I MIGHT HAVE HAD A BITE IN THE FOREARM BEFORE AND IT HEALED....
!@#$ IM SO STUPID HOW COULD I FORGET TILL NOW

thanks for enlightening me & helping me remember things correctly and solve this & so sorry about all the rants and spam
Joy Tomaro  [author] 7 Apr, 2023 @ 4:55am 
I am aware of the bug and have a warning in my mod now. However since it is vanilla and i was able to replicate it without mods, I cannot do anything about it atm
Joy Tomaro  [author] 7 Apr, 2023 @ 4:54am 
@Rainoa. you said you had the bitten trait. once it heals and you get bitten there again after the sandbox determined "infection mortality" you will instantly die.
Rainoa 7 Apr, 2023 @ 4:07am 
hmmm
part of me wants to point out i had no injury on my forearm before i died
BUT
i did get that bite instant and die instant for all i know it bite me in the same spot multi of times in that instant in the same spot....

its so stupid... & im REALLY sorry for ranting around about it tomaro, im just trying to understand why & how all this even happen so other players dont have to run into the in-justice of it if possible!

if you watched that video you gotta admit that was a BS death... i could have understood the glitch miss and getting injury or 2 and having to retreat for treatment but insta death?!

that being said i am also hosting local + streaming at the time + playing so a random server hick-up would not be out of possibility i do think, i just wanted to confirm around & see what everyone else thinks including yourself <3
Joy Tomaro  [author] 7 Apr, 2023 @ 2:16am 
KNOWN BUG
If you outlive the bite (via cure or immortality) and are bitten in the same place again, you will die instantly.
This is a Vanilla Bug so I cannot do anything about it for now. Even if you do not take this trait, outliving a bite when mortality infection is enabled will result in player death the next time you are bitten in the same location.
Rainoa 6 Apr, 2023 @ 5:20pm 
o correction i had lv6 first aid on that 4 day save think i started on lv5
Rainoa 6 Apr, 2023 @ 5:07pm 
o ic, strange i tend to always pick up fast healer thin skinned so i get hurt alot to level first aid faster, sometimes even get some controlled hurts to level up first aid lol

but a bite lasting 4 days even with level 4-5 first aid is not something im use too

maybe i have a mod conflict going on or a setting that braking it from working as intended >.<

& alittle offtopic here sorry, im alittle worry i might have issue with the immunity mod, with that insta death but i wonder if it could be a conflict with the furry mod maybe
Joy Tomaro  [author] 6 Apr, 2023 @ 4:43pm 
@Rainoa Since it is bitten on the left forearm I'll look into it. I don't know what it could be tho.

Also Bite Time is from the original code so it is affected by everything you'd expect in the game. 99 is slightly longer than a vanilla bite technically, but personally it feels way shorter.
Rainoa 6 Apr, 2023 @ 10:47am 
looking back at the video is a bit diff than i recall but still major SUS death T.T
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1786392572
Rainoa 6 Apr, 2023 @ 10:36am 
maybe a bit off topic
but i had a strange bug happen to me a few days ago, i was like 95% hp with no active injurys i might have had a injury that was bandaged but non of them was dirty even or infections i was also immune, while walking away from a Z and into another i went to push it away knowing it was coming and i insta died with no animation even just poof down on the ground dead...

i was at the time using mod as well called "Anthro Survivors (the "Furry Mod")" and playing one of them races think i was a white fox not sure lolz totally added it for lolz & for something diff i like to play one randomly every other death to keep things diff

now after hearing this story do u think it could have been just a server hickup?
or maybe somekinda bug with a mod or combo of things?
Rainoa 6 Apr, 2023 @ 10:35am 
i have small question about the bitten setting i think 99-599 option
is that ingame hrs?
also is it effected by traits like slow healer+fast healer?
it feels like a bite from the trait NEVER goes away for me!
i even got a bite on the neck that almost killed me from the blood lose alone >.< BUT it did heal and it healed after a much longer time than im use too with a injury on like arm/leg/head.

but after surviving like 14-40 days and many other bites have healed leaving the one from the trait, im starting to question a little bit >.<

i temp set it to 99 for now but i mistakenly didnt take bitten and i dont wanna willingly die to test it right now.

@Zeroboss: Sure, until you zombify from the infection.
Zeroboss 3 Apr, 2023 @ 6:43am 
I will live right?
