This works with the current version of the game - craftable under survivalist tab. (There's no betas right now, after the big MP update. :)
Waltuh𐂃𐂃 7 Feb, 2022 @ 9:30am

@Losera
It most likely isn't working any more since I made it for a much old game version
Seifer 28 May, 2020 @ 6:39am 
Is this working?
7thsojurn 7 Oct, 2018 @ 12:48am

@Pat
well i saw this 1 1st so im subbed to this 1 :)
wonder if the other guy stole this 1 or just accidently made the same mod
Deadliest Frog  [author] 4 Mar, 2017 @ 12:37pm 
@EvilNecoid
I know what your talking about, and I've seen it too. I think that one your talking about was made last year.
EvilNecroid 4 Mar, 2017 @ 3:41am 
im pretty sure i saw another mod EXACTLY the same as this 1
Deadliest Frog  [author] 8 Jul, 2016 @ 1:46pm 
Hello everyone!

Sorry I've been out for so long got caught up in real life issues, but I will reupload this mod for the current version of PZ! Once I get the time of course.
Vsratiynaturalist 8 Jul, 2016 @ 12:10pm 
Must have for MP !
ryab 20 Dec, 2015 @ 12:34pm 
You should make another mod like this, except for the trowel! I can never seem to find one, and it's needed for prolonged survival
온수장판 20 Dec, 2015 @ 4:29am 
verrrrrry gooooood!!!
Fishpickles 12 Oct, 2015 @ 3:58am 
@DarkJarris I've done it several times, doesn't help.
Bert Bertsson 12 Oct, 2015 @ 3:31am 
Good job with the mod man.:steamhappy:
DarkJarris 11 Oct, 2015 @ 1:18pm 
if you dont have "C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Workshop/content/108600/529574376" then it hasnt actually downloaded the mod onto your PC. try unsubscribing and resubscribing.
Fishpickles 11 Oct, 2015 @ 1:11am 
@edge7000 yes, i did this for hydrocraft, but the problem is that it does not show up there.

It also doesn't show up in c:\users\username\zomboid\mods
SilverPlatinum 10 Oct, 2015 @ 3:50pm 
@Hamurak
yeah you need to go to mods in game and... i thin kyou click the mod and hit activate or something its been awhile since ive played
Fishpickles 10 Oct, 2015 @ 5:42am 
It's not listed there.

I am new at how workshop works though. So, i just want to make sure i did what was neccesary to install it properly.

I clicked subscribe on this page, it says subscribed. Was there anything else i was supposed to do?
Deadliest Frog  [author] 9 Oct, 2015 @ 11:43pm 
@Hamurak That is weird. I have Hydrocraft installed aswel and it works. If it's not showing in the mods menu via the game then something must of not installed right.

Check the loaded .txt file in:

C:\Users\(Your User Name)Zomboid\mods

If my mod is listed in the load.txt file delete it and saved the load.txt file. Then restart PZ and see i it loads after that.
Fishpickles 9 Oct, 2015 @ 11:39am 
my c:/Programfiles(x86)/steam/steamapps/workship/10600 isn't 529574376 its 498441320, regardless, theonly thing in mods is hydrocraft.
DarkJarris 9 Oct, 2015 @ 6:13am 
to add to this: i also have Hydrocraft installed, and it showed up fine.
DarkJarris 9 Oct, 2015 @ 6:12am 
Hamurak: do you have the ".nosteam" launch option added to your PZ executable? (to play non steam servers) if so, remove that. then ittl show up. otherwise, copy the mod from C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Workshop/content/108600/529574376 into your C:/Users/%you use name/Zomboid folder
Fishpickles 8 Oct, 2015 @ 11:08pm 
No, i couldn't get it to work at all. I could not find it in the crafting menu "B" Nor would it work if i had all the ingredients. I have Hydrocraft Mod installed, would this affect it?

Another thing, once i had subscribed, it did not show up in my MODS list when i start the game.
Is there something else i need to do?
Deadliest Frog  [author] 8 Oct, 2015 @ 6:01pm 
Also thank yo uto everyone for the subs and suggestions!
Deadliest Frog  [author] 8 Oct, 2015 @ 6:00pm 
@What's the problem Hamurak or were you able to figure it out?
DarkJarris 8 Oct, 2015 @ 11:43am 
@Hamurak: its working for me
The Boot 8 Oct, 2015 @ 3:06am 
hammer and wedges have been used for hundreds of years to split wood into planks.
Fishpickles 7 Oct, 2015 @ 11:37pm 
Anyone else having trouble with this?
Fishpickles 7 Oct, 2015 @ 4:53pm 
So, does this saw not show up the crafting menu? i looked for it, and couldn't find it anywhere, i haven't actually tried gathering the foraging things to try and make it, asn i am fighting the zombie disease and hoping it doesn't kill me right now.
Tired of your crap 6 Oct, 2015 @ 1:21pm 
Assuming what you're cutting isn't much wider than a 2x4 or tree branch (as opposed to a thick tree trunk) you can make a wire saw. A couple of key rings, and some wire and reverse wrap it (you'll need tools, like pliers), putting the key rings at either end. Barbed wire isn't really made for that, but razor wire, a whole other beast, might work. The only problem with razor wire is it's meant to fly apart and harm you if you try to clip it.

The real issue is not if they can cut, but can they withstand the high temperatures they'll reach from all that friction. Even a decent improvised saw like this wouldn't work quickly, and you'd likely not want to cut for more than a few seconds at a time. Any decent amount of heat will cause it to become too weak at one point and break.

It's a good idea to have an improvised saw. Cool idea. :D
Zubat Man 6 Oct, 2015 @ 8:45am 
Just wondering, what about taking a file to some rebar? I think that would make a decent home made metal saw.
Geeves 5 Oct, 2015 @ 1:27pm 
Ya better make a better sprite, would probably make the recipe make more sense.
DeadlyDanDaMan 5 Oct, 2015 @ 1:23am 
@Pat There isn't a recipe that makes sense, unless you know how to forge metal. The best I can think of that would make some sense, would be Barb Wire + Tree Branch to make a sort of crude bow saw...
Popo Bigles 4 Oct, 2015 @ 12:34pm 
idky but honestly i cant find any rocks in kentucky XD
Deadliest Frog  [author] 4 Oct, 2015 @ 12:17pm 
@Great_Britain_ball

Yeah basically. I made this in rush, but I'll going to work on a better recipe that mkes sense lol

@militarybro @inSanye

Thanks guys!

@ZombieLover

Yeah I jsut got rustrated on how there was no other possible way to make planks, but that is one of the things I plan to work on.
anthonator00 4 Oct, 2015 @ 8:49am 
so same recipie as the axe?
Popo Bigles 4 Oct, 2015 @ 8:05am 
10/10 my dear friend XD
MisterInSayne 4 Oct, 2015 @ 7:04am 
I like it! :D
HotCoco 4 Oct, 2015 @ 6:22am 
Good idea. All you need now is to creat an image/icon to make it look better. :yaranaika:
