Zombie Virus vaccine Update 41.78+ MP Hotfix
How to Cure (a guide for the Zombie Virus Vaccine mod)
Step 1. You will need 3 books to start out with.


-Brief Chemistry Course (allows you to mix chemicals you will need for vaccines and the cure)

-Laboratory Equipment Vol. 1 (allows you to build all the equipment you will need)

-Virology Courses Vol. 1 (allows you to use all the equipment you built to manufacture your vaccines and cure)

all the books can be found in typical book spawns around the map (houses, book stores etc)

-NOTE- you will need the relevant skills in order to build and create certain lab equipment such as first aid, carpentry, and electrical.

You can also skip gathering the books with the more traits mod by getting the Ingenuitive trait which grants you all the recipes in the game including modded ones.


Step 2. Building the Lab (The Boring Part)

The first thing you need to build is the workbench it is the base of all other equipment you will need.

The workbench requires 2 First Aid skill and 3 Carpentry skill to build.

- the recipe

5 Planks
10 Nails
A Screwdriver
A Wrench
A Hammer
3 Small Metal Sheets
5 Scrap Electronics

After building the workbench you should be able to make all the other pieces of equipment you need.


-The Muffle Furnace-

One of the most important bits of your lab. Allows you to make Flasks and Test tubes for all the juicy zombie bits you have been collecting.

The Muffle Furnace requires 2 Metalworking and 1 electrical skill to build.

-the recipe

5 Metal Sheets
8 Small metal Sheets
6 Scrap Metal
8 Screws
6 Scrap Electronics
3 Electric Wire
A welder mask
Welding rods (5 units)
A blowtorch

The Test Tubes and Flasks can be made in the muffle furnace with a single piece of shattered glass. Now that you can make test tubes it would be a good time to collect samples through autopsying as many corpses as humanly possible. Blood samples outside of test tubes expire rather quickly so having a pocket full of infected blood will turn from a fun science experiment into a pointless adventure very quickly.

-NOTE- You will need power for the Muffle Furnace to operate.


-The Chemistry Set-

The Chemistry set is the heart of your operation. Allowing you to mix the chemicals you need to do your mad scientist like experiments. And create important things like ammonia and disinfectant (both of which can be found out in the world)

The Chemistry Set requires 2 First Aid and 2 Carpentry skill to build.

-the recipe

2 Planks
4 Nails
4 Test Tubes
4 Flasks
2 Metal Bars
1 Small Metal Sheet
3 units of Wire

-NOTE- In order to work with some of the chemicals you will need some safety equipment. A pair of Leather gloves, an apron, and a pair of safety goggles or ski goggles.


-The Microscope-

Nothing is more quintessential to a lab than a Microscope. And is an important tool for extracting Leukocytes.

The Microscope requires 3 First Aid and 1 Electrical to build.

-the recipe

2 Planks
4 Screws
2 Test Tubes
1 Small Metal Sheet
1 Scrap Electronic
1 Metal Pipe
A Pair of Glasses or Reading Glasses


-The Centrifuge-

Its basically a really expensive paint shaker but for blood. This will help separate your boring infected blood samples into 2 components Blood Cells and Blood Plasma

The Centrifuge requires 3 First Aid and 2 Electrical to build.

- The recipe

3 Small Metal Sheets
8 Screws
2 units of Duct Tape
2 Aluminium
5 Scrap Electronics
2 Electrical Wire

-NOTE- You will need power to use the Centrifuge.


-The Chromatograph-

I have no idea what this thing does but it works. With this bad boy you can extract Antibodies from those Leukocytes we talked about earlier. And being the last one you will probably build it will be the most resource intensive to make.

The Chromatograph requires 3 First Aid and 3 Electrical to build.

-the recipe

3 Metal Sheets
5 Small Metal Sheets
4 Metal Scrap
10 Screws
10 Electrical Scrap
2 Electrical Wire
A Welding Mask
4 White Light bulds
2 Green Light bulbs
Welding Rods
A blowtorch
A Car Battery


TLDR for this section

you Need 3 First Aid 3 Electrical and 3 Carpentry skill to build all the pieces of equipment

the full list of materials needed to build everything.

A Screwdriver
A Wrench
A Hammer
8 Metal Sheets
21 Small metal Sheets
10 Scrap Metal
30 Screws
27 Scrap Electronics
7 Electric Wire
A welder mask
Welding rods (15 units)
A blowtorch
9 Planks
14 Nails
6 Test Tubes
4 Flasks
2 Metal Bars
3 units of Wire
1 Metal Pipe
A Pair of Glasses or Reading Glasses
2 units of Duct Tape
2 Aluminium
A Welding Mask
4 White Light bulds
2 Green Light bulbs
A Car Battery


Step 3. the actual fun part.

By this point you should have all the equipment needed to fully produce a cure. Hopefully during your travels you have amassed the materials needed to actually make those chemicals.

- Collecting blood samples

Pretty simple however you will need some implements. A scalpel, a pair of gloves, a medical mask or gasmask, and a pair of tweezers.

Now that you have your kit you will need a victim willing participant. AKA a zombie. Just right click and perform a corpse autopsy. You will gain First Aid skill from this and a blood sample most of the time. Remember these expire quickly so you should place them in test tubes as soon as you get them.

- The chemicals you need

You will need 4 basic chemicals to make basically everything you need

Ammonia

Sulfuric acid

Hydrochloric Acid

Sodium Hydroxide

These can be found in any medical building. They can also be found in homes, and workshops.

Once you have these chemicals. You are ready to start making your vaccines or cure.


And this pretty much sums up the mod. all the recipes will tell you what to do from there. Good luck curing or poisoning your friends.
