i love this, i always try to find supplies like these right off the bat to go live in the forest but it takes a while.

nice

Sounds good! I typically like to play IWBUMS builds, as I never really play long games. I make no guarantee I'll be playing when 42 drops, though it is quite likely :)

@Anonymous Prime,

Are you kidding! I am glad you made it! Now more people can enjoy it properly. I updated my text as well. Now people now where to find your version. I will update update my mod when version 41 is a stable build. But if you update it for IWBUMS version 42, that would be great!

I've uploaded the IWBUMS version, available here:
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1905915887

Let me know if/when to take it down

@Janusridderanus sounds good! I've never uploaded anything to the workshop yet, so I'll have to look into that. I'll credit you as the author, copy the same description as this, and link back to this.

Hi Anonymous Prime,
If you make a prepper starter pack for IWBUMS, by all means publish it in the workshop. I don't have the time, and alot of people love to see this.

Also, the "Starter Kit" option is still available in the IWBUMS build. I think it's only in the "SandBox" config, though I'm pretty sure it's the only place it has been.

@Janusridderanus I'm fairly sure the people seeing issues are using build 41 IWBUMS as I noticed problems as well, not sure if the same. Looks like the XpUpdate.lua saw an update for sprinting and other stuff.

I'm assuming your mod only touches xpUpdate.onNewGame function, playing around making my own personal version now

also what char screen

its installed AND enabled, ill try again

Hi VERY_FLOOFY,
To get the mod, subscribe to the mod in steam. Then in Zomboid activate the mod. To use the mod, start a sandbox game and activate the starter pack under the character screen. If you did it all correctly, you start with the prepper starter pack.

how to i receive it

This mod overloads my CMD and slows my game on the IWBUMS build, just letting yall know

Lord of Cats and all how it may concern. It is good to know that my mod is so well received. Thank you all for such positive reactions and enthusiasm. Sadly I do not have the time to support all versions. So I decided not to support an IWBUMS build. Although I don't think my mod will have a lot of influence on the performance. It simply add’s a few items, and nothing more than that. Although I had to edit a crucial file which could be different in the IWBUMS build.

I will try to keep this mod active for stable builds such as version 40.xx. Heck, I like my own mod, so I would like to keep using it in future builds. That being said, if a starter pack is not possible to select in future builds then the mod will (sadly) die out. Although I cannot imagine why they would do that. Anyhow, stable builds I will support, IWBUMS build not.

This mod currently breaks the starter pack on the IWBUMS build, could you please make a version for it?

Mod throws constant exceptions. it tanks the framerate. Needs a fix.

Can anyone confirm or deny that this mod still works with the current build?
It's not working for me but I'm not sure if it's because of conflicting mods or not. Thanks

fighting horde is not possible with melee anymore, better off start running to hardware store early or just stay outside city for foraging.

@Valhalla Awaits: I'm not the mod creator but I think for that to happen the creator has to make a new made mod solely for 41.

Any chance this could be made to also work with the new beta version? The new version doesn't even have an option to start with any gear whatsoever. (Trying to fight 5 zombies at a time with just a spork is trying my patience.)

@TheFirstGameHD Dealt with this issue myself, the way I had dealt with it after speaking to support on the project zomboid discord was that turning off scaling in the nvidia control panel fixed the issue, its in "Adjust desktop size and position" hope that helps

Could you possible add a sledge and screwdriver as well?

wtf is wrong with the new experimental build with 41? the game runs at 13 fps and when i step outside the screen starts artifacting like crazy

Totally agree, Ruaken. Having options like this ought to be a standard thing for players. Thanks for the mod, Janusridderanus.

Some people like to play ROLE playing games in a certain ROLE, like the ROLE of being a guy who was prepared for catastrophe by having a bugout bag with ax, tent, etc... I'm glad someone made something like this. Tired of always playing as the shiftless, unprepared bum in the zombpacolypse (not even the cop owns a gun?!?!?!?!?).

I mean you dont need a tent in the early game its all about looting, you can craft an axe and a hammer with chipped stone and stone if you really need to,you cant craft saws but you can find them, they arent that hard to find.

It worked, thanks!

Hi Kazamadragom,
Enabled the starter kit in the sandbox setup. It is placed under character. If it does not work it could be that it conflicts with other mods.

I am supposed to start with the kit in my inventory? because is not happening. And yes, the mod is enabled

Wow, didn't expect people to actually like it. That really makes my day! If it is useful for you, please rate my mod.

this game is ridiculously complicated thatnks fro making slightly less so

Gospel for beginners

thanks
