I Need Yo' Mod Ideas!

It’d be hard, there’s no denying it - but I’m sure if you got it off the ground and working well the devs would integrate it into the main branch as an option. There’s been a ton of people requesting more difficulty and so it’d make sense until they can get round to balancing it fully.

Until then, possibly staying off the weapons would be the easiest way to cut down on work? You could just rip out the major offenders (and more when you get round to it) and just concentrate on mechanics unlikely to change (like first aid/vehicle damage/zombie resilience). I’d happily help out when it got going a bit.

Realistic recipes for stuff.

Here’s an attempt at a purity system for drugs.
