well done boredom in 42 is just too much annoying thank u !

Yeah, I get both sides of it but I still very much remain in team no-boredom. As a game mechanic i just feel that it was genuinely un-fun and adds nothing distinctly *positive* to the experience overall, at least like you said as it is now with barely any real ways to manage it.

It's also a case where in reality, some people could get bored being stuck in doors all day, but some wouldn't, and not even performing actions (I.E: Construction) does not lower, pause or even raise it. Just if you're in or out of a building which I get why they do it, but even that is just easy to exploit / bypass without reading, which is one of the main reasons I just got annoyed with boredom especially late game.

But this mod is a bandaid way of disabling Boredom; would be nice to look into fire and rain stuff.

I just think it was a big missed opportunity by the devs not to tweak boredom to be something you can manage more instead of rolling your eyes because now you know you're going to gain sadness for being in base too long and now things will take longer to sort. I'm more in the line with you honestly wouldn't be bored unless you were literally doing nothing, since most of the time you're doing something, which would at least not make you as bored depending on the action.

I honestly didn't think that me asking some epic dude in a steam thread like a year and ah alf or 2 ago to make a no boredom mod (or did he just do it after I made a mention of it? I cannot remember) would spawn an argument about being bored in a zombie apocalypse lol.

Originally I just hated the mechanic as a mechanic, but obviously that came from the idea that if I'm trying to survive and I'm happy to stay alive by being indoors chilling and not bitten/injured/sick, I would just be grateful instead of 'bored'. The mechanic as a video game is just intended to push you out of your 'comfort zone' and force you to engage with the game, which I suppose would be fine if it didn't lead to plain irritating debuffs and stacked up quick as hell.

dunno what youre tripping on, but during a zombie apocalypse boredom would be non-existent unless you have serious mental problems. even being holed up in a building for weeks on end, boredom wouldnt exist for normal people, theres WAY too much to think about. this mod makes sense to me.

Pretty useful when playin the IKEA mod since its always indoors, thank you!

the sounds of rain and fire are likely a primal form of entertainment to our brains lol

I like the proposal from Kev. Sounds pretty good

Can you make boredom decrease when character is near fire place. Imho irl hearing raining sound and fireplace burning feels quite content.

Me gusto mucho el mod. Gracias!

@Dark Oh believe me, doing nothing in an enclosed building is going to bore you out of your mind and make you unhappy fairly quickly even during an apocalypse. No need to complain about the game mechanic that makes quite a bit of sense, just use the mod.

@Rocky Jet
He did have a time of his life just then.
Glad to know my dumb little mod is actually doing great for people so far!

@Elijah
Lmao, I can look into it; throw it as a temp submod if needs be till I get around to the sandbox options.

@Alkashy
It shouldn't be too much of an issue since it's just a few lines of code.
Unless some other mod is just acting up but most I can say is to look at the console if it's still on going.

Thank you. After nearly bleeding to death from a neck wound and still killing 5 zomboids and hunkering down in a safe place to heal up, my character was still bored. Well not anymore!

MAKE NO MORE Discomfort IT'S STUPID AND I NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE A MOD FOR IT REAHHHHH!!!

@Alkashy - it does work for existing saves, that's how I enabled it, and been using since.

For some reaosn this mod causes my game to be stuck on permanet loading-in state.
Maybe it just doesnt work for existing saves.

MAKE NO MORE Discomfort IS FUCKING SUPID RAHHH!!!

Always found it odd that my character would kill an entire hoard and go "Man I'm bored :("

Thanks for updating to 42, really appreciate it!

@Hemigidius
Agreed; I COULD understand if you got it from either (Literal) AFKing, constantly reading/sorting items. (Especially if Disorganized)

But like not just for being indoors, especially when ingame my character is building in base.

But otherwise, no problem!

How anyone can get bored in a zombie apocalypse is beyond me. Thanks for this.

@Visions

Ah, I see; well just found in the official PZ how to update the mod for B42, I’ll sort it as soon as I can.

@Magnate

It does not appear as an available mod in mod list on build 42, I assumed it is treated as a not supported mod for now. Only a few mods are supported from the list I was using. This was one of the most important ones!

Anyway, I can wait, with holiday season approaching and all that! It's super early build still.

@Visions
Does it not work in build 42 as it is?
I've been too distracted with playing multiplayer with friends to check and kinda assumed it might work since it's very simple in terms of code.

If it does or doesn't work for B42, I'd appreciate anyone letting me know assuming if I don't get time to after work.
If it doesn't work, I'll look into getting it to work.

Will this support build 42? Was such a cool mod!

Thank you so much. PZ characters seem to need more entertainment than in Sims games.

I applaud you for making this mod. It is insane to believe anyone would get bored while being hunted by zombies, running for your life, starving, etc. Thank you so much, you've made my casual SP zombie adventure that much more realistic!

@Jackpot
Interesting. I tried chilling out in a house to see if the boredom would go away, but my character ended up maxing his depression stat so that was a flop. There must be another mod conflicting with this one. I'll try to figure it out. Thanks

@LazyTitan
I don't believe that should be the case.
If I recall most of these mods just work by reducing boredom to 0 every so often.

Idk if all mods are the same, but that's more or less what I went with as a simple bandaid.

There's a few of these mods in the workshop and none seem to work for me. Do you need to start a new game or something?

The act of just surviving would negate boredom, and even down-time would be a blessed respite from the constant struggles of life. So thanks for this mod.

@Cosmus Marinus
At the moment I've not really thought of adding. Something like that, mostly since it kept the mod light weight to just focus on making it set the player's boredom to 0 constantly.
I can't promise it'll be a feature, but I'll certainly look into it.

@Ireallydon'tcare
Yeah, I can probably understand if boredom was gained because you were just sat inside reading skillbooks all day. But not if you're actively doing stuff.
That's partly why I'm looking more into trying to see if I can just outright rewrite the moodles with a mod, boredom just feels so... Boring.

Cool! Any way to disable the text and arrow icon that still pop up over the characters head (e.g., boredom v) when you watch TV?

Thank you! I find it kind of funny my character gets bored of warmth and safety of the indoors when I'm sorting loot and wants to go out and play. Even if it's raining in the middle of the night infested with zombies.

Thank you.

k (:

Oh, like the ko-fi thing?
I can prob get that as a tip thing up, but I'll prob do it ideally after updating the mod with more options to disable other moodles.

Yeah, it sucks and doesn't make much sense right now. Is there any way I could buy you a coffee or something? (:

Yeah I can work on it.
I planned for other moodles to be on, but mainly did Boredom since requested and in all fairness, it does literally nothing aside from making you get unhappy faster.

Could you please consider working on no sadness some time this year please? :P
Thanks!

Thanks, it work

Aight. Thanks again, man.

Heya, and no problem I kinda forgotten who requested it so I just put in the fact it was requested.

As for adding mid-game, it shouldn't cause any issues.

Jackpot, you absolute legend. You're a chad for making this mod. idk if 'requested' refers to me, but you have my thanks. Do you think it's safe to add to an inprogress game??

Ebic ty (:
