Finally, a cannibalism mod!

cant place rotten food in compost no good

Update: it actually works, tested in both B42.8 and B42.11. Just need to be very close to the table.
Also, I got a very strange indicator: Noticeable Smell. Wonder if it comes after the butchering with this MOD, or it comes from Vanilla or some other MOD. Can't find a clue and can't get it off.

it doesnt allow me to make bone flour with a ceremic mortar and pessel

B42.8, brought a corpse to a table, have butcher knife with me, and it shows I have everything needed but a corpse. Is it work only with the builds that can "carry" a corpse with hands?

Mod working. Think the issue that other's were having was that you need to have a knife equipped in your hand. Not too sure entirely because I have experienced the problem of no right click prompt to butcher zombie but when I go into the craft menu, it shows that I have the knife but not the corpse.

Genuinely horrifying image, jesus

can confirm mod is working

Cant get it working for B42

edit, got it working. i recommend adding the ability to put corpses on butcher hooks for blood and extra bones

this doesnt seem to work , no option to butcher

Does not work in b42

sigue funcionando?

add butchering players too when the multiplayer comes out
hehehe...

Lol and now it does not work anymore despite having the mod at the end of the load order.

Edit:
Ok, it is a load order issue. Putting it at the very bottom of the load order makes butchering possible again.

Mod stopped working all of a sudden. B42.7. Before I right-clicked a dead zombie and butchered it for rotten steak, bones and fat. Now the option for right-click does not even appear anymore.

is this still for B41? i dont seem to have any uses for Fat right now

can it be placed on the butchering hook?

You won't get any trouble with mods overwriting weapons as long as it doesnt remove SharpKnife or MeatCleaver tags from compatible tools and weapons. Any modded tool should work

@Kacpix
Thanks for asking!
I migrated Zombie Butcher to v42 yesterday. Now you need any tool that does have SharpKnife or MeatCleaver tag.
In short these are the same tools you need to butcher an animal.

What tool I need to use to butcher? Any sharp tool or this for meat? Also is there any issues when I have mod what overwrites weapons?

@UndeadModder
Sorry for so long waiting.
As I remember I really didnt use any custom assets.
I've sent you a friend request with my another account named Nintendo. Pls, contact me there if your question is still actual.

Nice addition. Using CDDA as the inspiration, I'm assuming?

@БОБОМУРОД

Reaching out here to request permission for use of your assets in a cannibalism/bone tool mod i've been working on. i would obviously credit you and your work here both on the mod page and within the mod files. please reach out to me either here or on discord @undeadmodder - Thanks!

Can Iron Gut or some other trait be added that makes you able to eat the flesh safely?

nvm, i found out you need to add the mod to existing saves, my bad, cool mod tho

i cant find a way to butcher the zombies, can someone please tell me how ?

this should add dirty and sickness mod effets

This is one good mod to add some cannibalism touch into your game, unlike some other mods of said category this one actually lets you cook various dishes using the recipes with human meat.

As of v41.78.16 I can confirmed that this mod works in both singleplayer and multiplayer, in hosted game at least.

Doesnt seem to work in MP

how long does it take for you to die after eating cooked zombie meat

also @chaoticsilver after reading this dissertation I see we do think alike you bring up some amazing points about occupations effects & certain traits affecting the stresses of this mods activity, so I'd like to list a cupple more:

Pacifist - should be incapable of this action & suffer massive stress & panic when in MP witnessing this happening in their L.o.s. or Hearing range.

Coward - should take even longer to preform the task (we've all seen movies with that one skittish survivor have to set a bone or dig out a bullet, that shaky chicken)

& lastly I live in rural Canada & I do hunt cause 75 cents per bullets a lot cheaper than over $10,000 for beef, chicken & pork. so I look at it this way IF I had to harvest a human I can because I do harvest my own meat anyway so I have the Desensitisation to say a human body under the right situation is just another animal.

it doesn't take a sociopath to be Desensitised to Violence witch encompasses War, killing, & desecration of a corpse. but let me reiterate you've survived the zombie apocalypse & have wandered through your home town to see people being eaten you've survived long enough to find food, water, & shelter you've been alone for a long time.

in this scenario your mind switches off whats acceptable in favour of survival if that means using little jenny's rotten flesh to grown tomatoes & grind her bones for glue, your going to do so & not feel guilty over it cause you get to live & using all of the remains of another honours the dead.

so yes Desensitised should affect the negatives of this.

Screw the character limit. All my homies hate character limits.

(1) @Torkkar, there's a difference between being Desensitized, and being a complete sociopath. It's one thing to be desensitized to war... To killing, to corpses... Another to be desensitized to literally butchering human corpses.

A reduction in the stress from dealing with human meat would make more sense. With a separate trait entirely for it being where it 'should not matter'.

(2) Additionally, perhaps certain traits could increase stress gain from working with corpses? I am specifically imagining the Hemophobic trait. I mean, if your afraid~ or, for a word which would be more likely to be accurate, disgusted ~of normal blood, I would think directly working with corpses and their rotting blood would be worse...

Oh, nurse or doctor, or really any medical occupation/trait should really limit stress. If you've been to medical school, you likely have had to cut up a corpse. Or, at least, seen one get cut up.

Granted, not for the sake of harvesting the human fat meat and bones, but... still, it should provide a reduction as well. Perhaps more than the desensitized trait would, because unlike a veteran who just saw people die, a doctor has had experience with dead people being cut up, if for autopsies. This would also help provide a little bit of actual value to the doctor and nurse occupations.

(3) Because, what use do they have? Helping you patch yourself up? From what? No amount of medical skill will save you from a bite. Besides, expecting to get use out of the occupation is expecting yourself to get hurt in the first place. In which case... Well, first, how are you expecting yourself to get hurt, but not for that hurt to be a bite anyways, second- You can heal up, even with no medical skill, it's just slower and third, the only real time that this might reasonably apply, would be in situations like the CDDA challenge, where you start off injured, or multiplayer, where you can heal others, and my second point still applies regardless. Besides, if you're starting with an injury, figuring out how to fend off the zeds while injured will be more important than having three levels of medical to start off with anyways.

ok so the stress from dealing with human meat... this should not matter for someone with Desensitised trait so does this affect anything?

is this possible to make npcs zombies as pets, like even using the collar dogs? i've always wished befriend them instant killing them.

It would be interesting if you added the possibility of using the remains as camouflage. Just like in The Walking Dead

The first priority for us is lua coding experience and legacy development practice. Making something to make PZ more fun and making it quick is our second priority. Thats why we are not planning to use any other mods to ease our development at the moment. Of course we gonna use some frameworks to avoid possible conflicts but as for custom traits we gonna make it by ourselves.

Thx for questions!
1) Weapons and tools are presented in a roadmap. We are planning to add some knifes, spears, swords and kitchen tools by forming a waterproof facing with a bone meal. We'll take care of this part right after I will finish with icons textures for it.
2) We was thinking about risk of cathing a zombie infection from zombie fat, but figured out, that fat mostly is not a part of a body. It is just a product of 2-4 acids interaction.
Human fat under your skin is a rough mix of fat and some bio connections synthesized to keep some form also being flexible. Butchered fat can be dangerous to eat or contact with. However, boiled fat without any human biological parts is just a fat that cant spoil or smth and has no difference between any other clean fat except acids proportions, so it can be used however you want to, even as a food.
3) Custom traits and moodles are presented in a roadmap. We'll take care of it right after finish with butchering and eating meat influences.

If the point of this mod is getting and using body parts from zeds... why not bone spears?

Is making soap with the fat of a zombie really a good idea? I mean, you'd be washing your hands with soap made from fat contaminated by the zomboid infection? Sounds... risky, at best. My suggestion would be to be able to get safe to use fat from animals caught in traps.

Another suggestion- A psychopath trait, either in this mod, or seeing if you can't reference the trait from another mod... There's probably some sort of psychopath trait mod out there or something-

ANYWAYS.

A psychopath, or serial killer, or something like that, trait, which would remove the penalties for butchering bodies, feeling just... at worst, numb. Due to... literally being unable to properly process guilt.

also if you're going to make an immersive chemistry mod you can make a crafting recipe for literally just mixing ammonium nitrate and sugar with 5 to 1 ratio (just make it so 5 packs of ammonium nitrate and 1 pack of sugar is needed) in a gas can or even just a plastic bag and then combining this can/bag/whatever with enough volume (3.5 liters or more) with the dynamite to make a really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ powerful bomb capable of obliterating that basic small horde you can spawn in the debug menu

nah, obviously it's just a fight club-ish dumbed down version with a couple of details for authenticity and a small authentic to zombie apocalypse shell design idea. you can't make a bomb with this even if you really want to, but obviously people don't try to distill ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ acids at home, don't be dumb. be a responsible adult and do your preparations for socialist revolution in the garage instead

people dont try it at home please

is it a bomb recipe
u really sick mate wtf.

we got a plan to make some other mods with dental health system and some vanilla friendly recipes like wooden bowls and hand-made water filter. So if we gonna do it we will think about it in order of idea of making an immersive chemistry mod.

Thank you for suggestion

oh btw also you can just make a recipe for making bombs by placing nitroglycerin stabilized with sugar inside of a matches box and using a match as a fuse, so it's like this:

make a pot of nitroglycerin

extract nitroglycerin with sugar to make dynamite

craft a bomb with dynamite and matches

Part 2:

if you pour electrolyte into a pot and boil it you get sulfuric acid since this game has no distillation

if you add ammonium nitrate to a pot of sulfuric acid and boil it you get a pot of nitric acid

if you combine a pot of sulfuric acid with a pot of nitric acid and with glycerin you get nitroglycerin (ideally it should become nitroglycerin after you freeze it but i'm not sure if it's possible to do that)

then you can extract nitroglycerin with kieselgur to get dynamite which you can use to craft a dynamite stick by combining it with like twine and paper or whatever

also you can remove kieselgur from the equation to make your life simpler by replacing it with sugar, irl sugar was in fact used as a stabilizer for nitroglycerin in dynamite too

oh cool if you actually decide to get to it here's how it can be executed

Part 1:

bottles of accumulator electrolyte added to loot tables of car shops and garages (it can be bought everywhere)

bags of ammonium nitrate added to loot tables of organic food shops and ♥♥♥♥ like that (it's used as a fertilizer)

bags of kieselgur added to loot tables of the same organic food shops (used as sort of a fertilizer too)

glycerin can be extracted from a cooked soap pot with a bottle or something like that, irl it's usually a huge layer of liquid on the bottom underneath the layer of soap
