By default, never trust the Wiki, that thing is, as far as I know, hilariously out of date on basically everything.
With that being said, yes, the Janitor profession was thrown out of the game, it’s not a viable starting option anymore. I’m also not aware of any mods which add the janitor back in, so…yeah.
Modding the game isn’t that hard though, so adding the Janitor back in isn’t much of an issue. You have two options here:
- You make a mod, adding the Janitor (and any other profession you want/need) into the game. I believe there are some tutorials on modding, but it’s not that difficult in the first place, just look at the jsons of the main game and how mods are structured, and you could easily copy-paste whatever you need, make some adjustments, change names, add/remove items, and you’re golden.
- If you don’t plan on updating the game while playing, you could update the maingame professions.json directly, in order to add the janitor back in. This does not require you to add a mod to your world, it will be overwritten every time you update to a newer version though.
In any case, here is the .json entry for the janitor, directly ripped from the Stable 0.C
{
"type": "profession",
"ident": "janitor",
"name": "Janitor",
"description": "You earned a living from sweeping up chocolate wrappers and picking chewing gum from under tables. Now the only thing you'll be sweeping are the brains of the dead.",
"points": -1,
"items": {
"both": [
"jumpsuit",
"socks",
"boots",
"mop"
],
"male": [
"boxer_shorts"
],
"female": [
"bra",
"boxer_shorts"
]
}
}
Looking at it, the whole thing should still work like a charm too.
