@Loccatpowersdog - It should work without issue, but iunno for sure regarding character traits, never tried adding mid-save myself.

Could this be added mid-save? My current Player Character has Gardener, would she gain +1 woodcutting & start to be able to level or is this a new character/save type of deal?

Makes sense. As long as it's on the radar to fix, I can completely understand not trying to polish anything too much before stable is released.

@MrHrulgin - Skills books in B42 have been weird with each update. I've had the aame issue, and others with just vanilla books before now - from whole bookshelves being empty, to others filled with skill magazines, but no books, and so on.

We'll just have to put up with it until they release a stable, and books can be properly weighted without another patch sending them squiff again

The way that the skill books for Woodcutting are added to the loot tables might be a little off? Going through a school I found more than 4 complete sets of the books in lockers and no other skill books there. Either they're in loot tables where no other skill books are found, or they're so heavily weighted that they're overriding other skill books. Not sure which.

well that mod fix seemed to work thank you <3

@SadlyVoid - If you've added some new mods, or changed some settings there's a chance that one of them disabled the XP. Please try cartgirltoofie's patch posted in the comments below.

This mod was fine a couple days ago but now i get this one error and i dont gain any xp in the skill.

`Callframe at: se.krka.kahlua.integration.expose.MultiLuaJavaInvoker@e3580101

Ive tried to change the load order and uninstall/reinstall but nothing helped.

@Rusty #DopeRust - Please check the report, the recent should have fixed the issue. It's kinda a cheese fix, since I just commented out the offending lines, but at least it's working.

EDIT

This issue has now been fixed, and reinstated.

***********************

@稳中向好共富裕 - Please elaborate. Are you saying that B42.4.0 broke the mod? Kinda expected that to be honest, after reading through the changelog for the latest version.

EDIT 2 - I have rushed an update to fix this issue. NGL, it was a pain in the ass to go through the new code and add back all the functionality for Woodcutting Skill mod. Should be working fine now.

Incidentally the "can't cut trees when exhausted" thing is a new mechanic in B42.4.0. I don't like the way they implemented it, essentially if you are exhausted it flags chopping trees as a bugged action so it fails - kinda cheap..

@Champy, @Monkey Magic, firstly, thank you for updating the mod to the most recent build, have used in the past build, awesome work.

Secondly, i just made a bug report in here , when you can, please check it out, figure i should let you know here since you wont receive the notification because its a new thread.

Cheers.

Alright, well, I've just created a patch mod that SHOULD fix the issue. Available here. If nothing else, it works for me.

@catgirl power !!! - Given that this issue only occurs for some people using certain mods I don't wanna mess with it myself. I'm sure Champy will have a poke around when they have the time. But I'll put a note in the description at least

Hey! Thanks for porting this fantastic mod to B42. I, like a few others, have a bug where I can't get experience, but I went ahead and dug around in the code a little bit. It works fine IFF you have "Use Global Multiplier" turned on in the Character sandbox options. If the box is unticked, there's no woodcutting multiplier sandbox option, so the game throws an exception because it can't find that option.
I'm not sure if the original mod had this problem, but I think it could be fixed by adding a woodcutting multiplier to the sandbox settings. Hope to see a fix soon!

hey @Jankin any luck?

I can confirm a mod is now stopping certain mods like Woodcutting from gaining exp, trying to figure it out from my mod list.

I tried the mod on its own and works fine.

I will get back to you once I find out what mod it is.

@OxtailSafu - first, try unsubbing and resubbing to the mod. B42.4.0 broke it, and I had to upload a fix. Steam can sometimes be finicky with updates, so unsubbing and resubbing is the best way to know you've got the latest version.

As for your log, you can either put it up on a site like Pastebin, and post a link here, or post it in the discussions.

EDIT - BTW, if you know how much XP the mod used to give for a medium sized tree, lemme know. Currently it's like 1xp or some, more for larger trees, and less for smaller ones. Not sure if how the values are calculated changed or not, so I was always more focused on zeds mooching out of the woods XD

Bushes give 0.25XP, and the code for that didn't get changed in vanilla, so I'm guessing it's meant to be these values?

Hello there! I apologize for my ignorance, I've been having some issues with this mod where I can't seem to gain any exp for the Woodcutting skill and it seems to spout an error whenever the action is complete. As someone new to Zomboid, should I copy and paste the debug log here in the comments or make a new thread like the user Ullatec did?

Thanks for taking care!

I guess a shitload of mods will have issues with the latest patch

The new version has a bug that can't cut trees

Nice mod

thank you for ading the skill books. <3

Now with added books!

good

@Aspringtum - Nope, there were not any in the original either. But I'll consider adding some if Champy is okay with it I believe other mods that add skills, such as Driving add books after all

Skill books included?

thank you for this mod. :)
