I thought I needed First Aid / Survival 1 and a knife, I have 3 in both…but standing over a bruised corpse and pressing % isn’t giving me the option in the menu, I have options for everything else but that…what am I doing wrong?
(A)ctivate your knife, and select make zlave while on top of an unpulped zombie. 1 survival skill level is enough to do this, but you’ll gain moral penalty doing this, unless you are a PSYCHOPATH

When I try this, it tells me I can’t do anything interesting with my knife…is it from one of the “mods” perhaps? Like the necromancy mod? I keep trying to use it on shockers I find.
Related question, if I have a base with NPCs in it … will they attack my friendly zombie slave, or flee in terror? Or treat him as friendly?
Zlaving a special zombie still attacks with special abilities like shockstorm, but yeah, necromancy mod makes it completely friendly and fight just like a normal one
A zombie slave remains hostile, so your NPCs will kill it once they got vision of it…
So I have a copper knife, and 3 ranks of each skill, and when I select the knife it comes up with only cutting things up and writing things while standing over a bruised body; and nothing in the % menu about zombie slaves…still not sure what’s wrong!
X-acto knives can do zlave, but try the other ones like a butcher knife or a scalpel. I don’t know why copper knives can’t zlave zombies 
Seems to be that they need the fine quality, maybe that changed at some point, who knows.
In recent build, my character has “health care” 6, survival 5 and a scalpel, but activation of scalpel doesn’t give option to create zombie slave, while standing on non-pulped zombie corpse.
Is this ability removed from the game?
Yes, Z-slaves have been removed from the game.
Yes, 'can confirm this:
Also, hi other being named Victor

Well that sucks, guess I’ll need to find some way to trick has z9 on a treadmill attached to an alternator for my power now.
