You're very welcome :3

Oh wow. I can't believe I did not come across this. Was just randomly looking through mods and decided to look through the collections you had (already using a few of the mods you made).

This would make base building so much better and accessible now. Thanks so much for this!

@TEMPEST
Entirely doable.

What do you think about adding crowbars too? I'm thinking about fire departments and police departments would have them to get people out of cars and stuff, and they're pretty common items in hardware stores? Do you think adding them to this mod is a good idea?

I'm glad you're getting the gratitude and recognition you deserve; I can't believe how quickly you made this mod, but it's made a HUGE difference to the quality of my games. Thank you again.

And people like you are the reason why I haven't given up on modding this game. :) You're most welcome, and thank you too.

@★Rainmaker★ you people are the reason i play this game without destroying my pc, thank you

TAKE MY POINTS !!

<bowing> We're not worthy! <bowing> Thanks Rainmaker. xXx

And there we go. You now have sandbox options for fire stations and police stations as well. The default rate is set at 1.0 which is still 10-100 times higher than the vanilla value, but do with it as you please. :)

You're awesome, have some more steam points!

@TEMPEST
Sure thing. I'll give them a sandbox option as well. :)

Hi! Me again. Is there any chance you can add sledgehammers to Firestations and maybe even some police stations? Firehouses should have them for breaking down doors. :)

There we go, sandbox options are in.

I also added warehouses to the increased spawns. In B41 I found almost all of my sledges in warehouses so it just made sense to me. :)

I recently finally got around to studying how sandbox options work in PZ, and I'll be adding a few options for this mod some time in the near future.
I'm working on my gun mod at the moment though, and it will get first treatment for sandbox options and a couple of new guns.

thank you im so tired of the only way to find one in vanilla is the road construction event. jeeez

Went looking for a cool store but couldn't find one. Went to a tool store instead.

Great mod.

Aww, damn. Is it possible to look at what other modders have done? Would looking through (E.g. Chuckleberry's Skill Recovery Journal) help?

Yeah, ChatGPT cannot program for PZ. This is a running meme on the PZ modding discord.

The lua that ChatGPT comes up with literally never works in PZ.

+1 to Glizda's suggestion. ChatGPT/CoPilot gave me some code. I'm really not much use as a programmer, so I cant verify this:
-Add a new option in the sandbox settings file (sandbox.lua).

[lua]
-- Add a new sandbox option for Sledgehammer spawn rate
SandboxOptions["SledgehammerSpawnRate"] = {
type = "number",
default = 50,
min = 1,
max = 100,
description = "Adjust the spawn rate of Sledgehammers in loot tables."
}

-Update the loot table code to use the sandbox option value:

[lua]
local sledgehammerSpawnRate = SandboxOptions["SledgehammerSpawnRate"]
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, "Base.Sledgehammer")
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, sledgehammerSpawnRate)
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, "Base.Sledgehammer")
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, sledgehammerSpawnRate)

Sure. Tell me how to write the lua for sandbox options.

Then I'll add it. :)

any way to decrease their spawn rate? feels kinda weird to find 5+ sledges in a tiny tool store imo, maybe consider adding sandbox options??

Take literally two seconds to read what I said earlier today.

can i use this in older save?

@M4ri Im crying.

mod def works, had never found a single sledgehammer since hearing about B42 launching and as soon as I load this in my save TEN sledgehammers in one hardware store...

It can be added to a save but it will only affect tool stores you haven't visited yet.

Can this be added to a current run? Thanks!

As of writing in my game on normal rare settings i have not found a sledge in like 4-5warehouses, but have found probably every type of existing tool in them, the new loot system is a tad absurd, hopefully this mod fixes that

Project zomboid devs only add realism to the game when it makes it harder lol why would a sledgehammer be that rare at a tool store

To be clear, sledgehammers already have a chance to spawn in tool stores in vanilla PZ, but they may as well not have that chance because it's so tiny.

They're basically as rare as katanas now.

Wait they don't spawn in tool stores???
lmao

LOVE U

are you telling me sledgehammers do not have a chance to spawn in tool stores lol

THANK YOU. xXx

Thank You !

Well, this isn't Rainmaker but Dreammaker, then
Thank you, mate

Base mod, hand down, no doubt
