Why DIY MRE Ration can't be packed in box

maybe instead of making so that mre can be crafted into box making a mod that add that you can use or craft cartboard box that can be filled with thing like mre that the player can't store in their inventory only carry and so that it can be placed in the base visibly

@alfox packing MRES into boxes for B41, i don't think i can change more without Possibly bugging existing saves

what are the b42 feature in question ?

please keep it going

or just let it be?

Does anyone want me to update the B41 Ver for B42 Features?

@Mad_Man_Mcgraw, Ah, you don't need the FRH for anything. The very nature of the MRE means that its unpleasantness may be enjoyed hot or cold! Better to save your water for... "use your imagination," as Steve might say.

As for the inventory clutter note, I'm personally happy with trash in games - as long as it serves a purpose, as intangible that purpose might be. Reduce, reuse, recycle, reappropriate. Zomboid is great for that kind of thing, but I know a lot of people don't find that so great. So I figure, being a food item, the MRE would fall more in line with the game's treatment of most food waste and simply... disappear. This is "Vanilla MRE," after all, not an expansion into the wide realm of cookery like Sapph's!

@Willy A. Jeep That's a fair point about the date, though I'd say for the sake of gameplay, keeping the FRH gives it the edge for survival food you don't need to a source to cook with.

As for cluttering the inventory, if anything I enjoy getting to unpack everything and use it realistically, have you tried the version in Sapph's cooking mod? You unpack and get crackers, condiments, you can heat the main up separately with the FRH, I really liked it that way. Made meal time a fun thing. Sometimes you even got those coffee packs, which made it useful to carry a mug around with you. You can pretend you're Steve1989 :D

@alfox, Given Project Zomboid's setting in mid-1993, MREs with included FRHs would be really, really rare. The FRH was issued separately from the MRE pouch from its inception until late 1993, with production of MREs including FRHs only beginning in early 1993. The stockpile of pre-FRH pouches were given utilization priority, and would have been perfect for domestic use in case of emergency... like a major virus outbreak resulting in infrastructure failure like Zomboid depicts. Now, maybe some FRH-equipped MREs would've made it to milsurp stores if there were defects, but still, the bulk of those would be earlier ration packs.

On the idea of the MRE item giving multiple components, you run into the problem of cluttering the inventory - a problem of the MRE in reality, excessive packaging for the sake of preservation. I thought it might be cool to have the pack also give Alcohol Wipes, but as far as I know, MREs at the time only had non-alcoholic Wet-Naps. Oh well!

@Fox. Added to the workshop. The mod's name is Support Corps [B42]. I added credits to you in the file scripts and in the workshop page. Thanks alot for your mod, it really makes my play-throughs awesome.

@Athens111 Sure, if you need help with anything let me know

@alfox i guess i could make a VanillaMRE +, but that would take some time

i would love to use it but it's not what how real mre work sadly im searching for a mod that would actually have mre that work like in real life so one bag with inside a heater pack(you add water and it start to heatup) a main dish pack to put in the heater pack a mre cracker pack something to mix into a canteen (it can be sometime coffee) something to put on the cracker since it's dry sometime it's jelly or peanut butter and other thing having one bag big bag that cointain all that is in a military ration for me it's weird and way to simple

@Fox Are you okay with someone making a sub-mod using your mod's assets? I'm adding MRE variants (civilian, and others) to my mod. My discord is bravepilgrim if you want to talk. Credit will be given to you ofc.

will translate Polish and German soon and update the Discussions tab, Big Thanks for the Translations

@LookMyName not sure since i haven't tested it with that mod, but it should.

Is it compatible with Inventory Tetris?

@Rocco Sent a message on discord

I saw your message on Discord,and I make my own Icon,even i pack it,it stil display blurry,can u show me how to make it correct
Have requesting STEAM friend,please help

Yeah thankfully I do have backups. I just wanted to figure it out because I know most people don't so for them the update will basically destroy their runs.

the only thing that i can think of right now are missing files

Not exactly sure how changing icon files can reset a whole chunk since i didn't touch the item code since last update

@Lucasif will try and look into this, do you have any backups of the save you can revert to?

Yep, it's 100% this mod. Whatever the update was changed the MRE's somehow which makes any chunks they're stored in corrupted and forced reset on load. It also removed the icons of the MREs existing so I'm guessing that's related.

After this mod updated (the only mod that updated since I last loaded my save) the save I had was glitched and it reset the chunk I was in, respawning all the zombies in my skyscraper base and killing me the moment I loaded in. I'm not sure if it *is* this mod, but if anyone else had their save reset in the last day it would be helpful if they could post here as well to see if it was this update for whatever reason.

would be fun if there was a insurgent support for this not any of them tho [yet]

Finally, a good mod that adds MREs without all the bloat.

Thanks for the Info @French_Toast.

I will now start using it!

the unlabeled ration is an LRP. Otherwise known as a Long Range Patrol Ration, it was used by the united states special operations forces in Vietnam and after being replaced by the MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) the remaining rations were either eaten, just like C Rations, or also like c rations, placed on civilian market into army surplus stores. The people who made the LRP now make the hiking meals that you find for $8 at dicks sporting goods

Awesome mod, one question tho, is the unlabeled ration actually a thing irl?

i wanted to add more optional features but the Engine is Missing Functions for B42 at the moment

@Halos i can only make an option for Not adding The Distribution for PoliceStorageGuns

@Halos Most police stations are zoned for military. He can not have for the loot table for police stations

But the rest of it is determined by dev code

Just wanted to say thank you! This mod is absolutely awesome, and I appreciate the work you've done. Cheers!

can you add a sandbox option to disable it from spawning in police stations

W mod

will have to add Translations to the B42 Version

B42 update is out, done some changes.

@machado152012 working on it

update to b42 please!

thank you so much for this.
Happy Halloween

Also, if you are using mods that let you change the Sandbox Options Mid game, just exit to the menu after saving the changes and go back into the save.

@Rokko I've pushed out an update for sandbox options, Happy Halloween.

great mod but could you add a sandbox option so the cooking skill needed can be adjusted in sp / mp, please?
lvl 7 cooking is just a little too much

@Gus Fring MREs come with spoons
