42.12 updated?

Thank you, I'll check into it.

The game runs on version B42.12
Yes, I understand that the default recipe does not include a pencil.
What I meant to express is this: the last item entered in the sandbox settings does not appear correctly in the recipe within the game.
When I set the notebook as the only ingredient, the Skill Recovery Journal can be crafted in the game without any materials. When I set the notebook and pencil as ingredients, only the notebook is needed to craft the Skill Recovery Journal.

The pencil is not part of the recipe to make the book. That being said, the sandbox options format is build dependant -- as they changed the recipe format.

Which build are you on?

After testing, it seems that the last item in the recipe cannot be written correctly. I modified the sandbox settings like this:
item 1 [Base.Diary1;Base.Diary2] flags[Prop2] mode:destroy | item 1 [Base.pencil] flags[Prop1] mode:destroy
Entering the game, I can use the diary to create skill logs normally, but the pencil is not required in the recipe.

The sandbox custom recipe feature is not working properly. I modified the sandbox recipes according to the mod instructions, but when I entered the game, I found that the skill Journal could be made without any raw materials. I also specifically checked the Wiki, and it seems that the syntax is correct.
Here is the content under default settings:
item 1 [Base.Notebook;Base.Journal] flags[Prop2] mode:destroy| item 1 tags[Glue] flags[Prop1]| item 3 [Base.LeatherStrips;Base.LeatherStripsDirty] mode:destroy| item 1 [Base.Thread;Base.Yarn]
I copied and modified it like this:
item 1 [Base.Diary1;Base.Diary2] flags[Prop2] mode:destroy

Verify the sandbox options

i'm playing b41 MP and cannot manage to make it work. May be user error but i've got it enabled on steam workshop (just downloaded it), and in-game. Also in the server settings. I've checked FAQ and it says it may be a problem of jumping from 41-42 back to 41. How to solve? Thanks in advance. :steamthumbsup:

You should add a setting so it remembers what you've read and watched so people can't use it to endlessly grind levels by watching the same VHS over and over again

Mod works fine for me.

Picked my own journal from my previous body:
"doesn't feel right to read someone elses journal"...
This is weird interaction tbh.

andrericardo20161.0 im having the same issue
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Oct 3 @ 7:56pm 
Are you encountering any errors in the game - or just that behavior?
andrericardo20161.0 Oct 3 @ 7:07pm 
The mod is great, but I've been unable to record in the journal for a few days. I can only create it, but not record my experience.

Am i able to make it where you get VHS xp back but you cant rewatch it like how you dont need to re read magazines?
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Oct 2 @ 5:03am 
I'm indifferent if people are polite for the most part-- realistically it's been less than a week. Their comment is layered in compliments but boils down to sharing their opinion that the mod isn't maintained. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, if there was common errors related to the mod there would probably be more comments I imagine. So without any error logs or descriptions of what issues they're having I have to assume it's user error.

I've used this mod for years and I genuinely appreciate every second of work put into this mod. Thank you Chuck for all of your effort, it has made my time spent playing PZ much more enjoyable without the worry of losing ones progress in an extremely lore friendly way. To those reading that are impatient about the speed of mod authors updating their works; remember that there are long hours spent completely without necessity, taken directly out of their free time, to provide us with a FREE modification so we can better enjoy our game. Don't forget to show some love to creators, they're good people :)

Anyone encountering errors is directed to the github for this mod, which can be reached by clicking on the link under the image above that mentions errors - the one with Spiffo eating a cockroach.
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Oct 1 @ 2:55pm 
@Sir Walach - Was it not compatible?
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Oct 1 @ 2:51pm 
The update to the game was 6 days ago, be for real.

Love the mod... Absolutely critical to minimizing pain and suffering when dealing with Zomboid glitches... Unfortunate the mod creator isn't necessarily on top of things when it comes to updating.

one of the best mods of project zomboi
SlySanity Sep 27 @ 5:22pm 
i've searched all over and cant find where its against TOS but just to let you know, doesnt work on b42.11or.12 MP. no clean ui mods nothing crazy, just no craft for it from what I can see. Great mod otherwise
navka Sep 27 @ 4:00pm 
Hi
Yesterday the mod stopped working in a weird way. Its enabled, but I dont see the basic recipe for Bind Journal Together. It only works if I start a game, disable mod, load the game, enable mod and load the game again. anyone had same issue?
Reanimated Sep 27 @ 2:09am 
@Wraither yes, the game has gotten an update, changes to ui and bodylocations have broken quite a few mods (some of them have already been fixed)
Sir Walach Sep 26 @ 7:48pm 
Is it compatible again with B41 MP?
Wraither Sep 26 @ 8:18am 
is anyone getting errors since the update yesterday
Fenc Sep 24 @ 2:27pm 
Alright, thank you, Chuckleberry Finn.
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Sep 24 @ 11:35am 
Also, to address your question about a toughness skill -- the rate of XP reading/writing should factor the total XP needed to reach the max level. So I would need to spend time to see why this toughness skill is causing issues.
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Sep 24 @ 11:34am 
Probably that MP mod which is against TOS to distribute.
Fenc Sep 24 @ 10:29am 
howd u launch a multiplayer server in b42 lol that shouldnt be possible
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Sep 24 @ 5:19am 
B42 Multiplayer doesn't exist.
Pivo Sep 24 @ 4:10am 
sorry, my english bad.
b42 (42.11) multiplayer.
I read the log, gained experience, and logged out of the server. I logged back in, and my experience was reset.

I launched the server on my own PC via the command line.
Fenc Sep 22 @ 12:57am 
Could we get better compatability for the toughness skill? Despite the low amount of exp needed it takes many hours to finish transcribing (nearly starving to death)
And because I've seen you ask on other questions in here, I'm not seeing any errors or warnings loged in the server console or on the client when the craft fails
On a build 42 multiplayer server and the recipe cannot be crafted to create the book. It fails with about 4 seconds left and the ingredients are refunded. Any ideas how to fix?
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Sep 21 @ 5:06pm 
I would check the FAQ to see how the journal works in detail.
pps12330 Sep 19 @ 5:48am 
My friend is using this skill book but it doesn't seem to restore all his skill XP. However, my server mod states that skill restoration is set to 100. Is there something I'm missing?
benjamin5455 Sep 18 @ 3:48am 
Hi I cant see the tab opition in the host server mod settings?
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Sep 16 @ 5:33am 
Without more information I cannot offer any advice.
Kurosaki0401 Sep 15 @ 2:30am

到底為甚麼不能用用五個小時了
BanchaAP Sep 9 @ 11:09am 
@lunazul722002 Yeah, you just have to not be a dumbo. Coding/scripting isn't hard lil man.
Demastes Sep 8 @ 6:43am 
anyone know how to remove glue from the recipe? cant find any for love nor money
Lunazul722002 Sep 7 @ 8:01pm 
i'm having issues with this mod running on a nitrado server. it's not saving carpentry levels for whatever reason. i was hoping someone else has the same issues or knows a potential fix i can run to make it compatible. it didn't have this issue before but for some reason now it does have this issue for whatever reason
Xanallen Sep 7 @ 7:55am 
if I create my personal recepie it work for the first time but once i load it back up again it will come back to the original B42
VillbliTårta Sep 7 @ 2:34am 
does it work with modded skills?
Darnexx Sep 6 @ 1:02pm 
I might be wrong, but didn't the mod used to save Strength and Endurance Skillpoints as well?
0kamiKaiju Sep 6 @ 9:48am 
NVM my dumbass just had the skill recovery read speed set too high, not the transcribe speed
Chuckleberry Finn  [author] Sep 6 @ 6:15am 
There is
