To my knowledge yes.

is it compatible with multiplayer?

@BadPsychoPanther there is a mod that makes the infection airborne. It's a collection of mods, actually, that includes the susceptible trait. I don't know if it has been (or will be) updated for 42, however

I think there was a infection fora movie that was in the atmosphere and then came down in the rain to raise the dead.

oh alr and i mean the infection could be in the air or something

They were talking about how it makes no sense for rainwater to also give you the infection.

what was he talking about?

It is odd but to my knowledge the game makes no distinction between rain water and tap water.
Tainted is tainted, I'm sure someone who actually knows what they are doing could find a workaround.

I'm sorry I deleted your comment.
I was trying to hit the post button

Don't drink the water. They put something in it, to make you forget. I don't even remember how I got here.

this goes perfect with your new rainworm zombie skin mod!

When Hell Has No More Room. The Dead Will Walk

well halo:reach is good, used to play it alot when i was younger.
when the urge to play zomboid comes it'll come suddenly then hopefully you'll be alright.
with zomboid yeah the burn out is pretty bad but your passion will return.
Have a great rest of your week!

It's no problem really
I'm burnt out on modding and Zomboid but I'm fine with comments
and thank you I hope to start making mods again eventually

Though I'm currently playing 3 games at the same time. Kenshi, Halo: Reach, and Disco Elysium
so I'm not sure when I'll suddenly be struck with the desire to play Zomboid

oh i get it.
sorry if my messages bother you, since you're burnt out i dont really wanna bother you much, i know how it is.
well just for you to know we all love your mods man, i check like twice a week to see if theres anything new, you're one of the few modders that is still active that actually makes quality stuff so thank you!

Well I wasn't, then I spent a few days working on the No More Room in Hell mod nonstop and burnt myself out again.

exactly! if anyone can mod they can continue the work and also use the ideas that are posted on there, while you could work on some stuff as soon as you aren't so burnt out.
I remember speaking to you a while ago, are you still burnt out?

Could work
I think I should add that to the Cataclysm catalog
All the unfinished concepts and allow people to add their own ideas

thats actually a pretty good idea, also i have a suggestion: if you ever get motivation again, maybe make a discussion somewhere that gives you some ideas of new ideas? could work well

Not at the moment, the way I often do thing is I think of an idea

then I'm like "hmmm I quite like that" then I shelve the idea until I have enough motivation to make it
I have a ton of ideas on the shelve
And as I'm not currently in a Zomboid mood i'm technically in hiatus rn

I really should just make a board of concepts somewhere
so that people who are more motivated than me can pick up the idea if they want
because I have ALOT and I'm absolutely terrible at getting things done

sorry if it seems like a rush, but you still working on that waterborn parasite reskin? i quite like the idea of it so thats why i ask

I do like the first aid idea

it adds a good and logical reason to level it so that you can remove parasites from the fish

Nice Work! This mod adds a sensible challenge that works within the setting.

Regarding the fishing conversation: I think it should require decent first-aid skill, or decent first-aid skill and a little cooking skill to prepare and eat safely.

My reasoning: The main challenge to safely cooking fish would be keeping everything isolated and clean. Cooking plays a minor role with just understanding how to prepare and thoroughly cook a fish. Otherwise, it's gonna come down to how skillfully someone can handle process while suited up in some PPE and dedicated prep area so the final products, and also the person preparing the fish, stay isolated from infectious material.

Also, fish cooked in such a way should be unpleasant to eat on its own. Anybody cautious enough to go through with all that effort is likely to err on the side of overcooking the poor things to hell and back until they are questionable tasting, yet unquestionably safe, chunks of "I Can't Believe It's Not Charcoal".

allright

As far as I know it's not

I don't know how to make it multiplayer
But I'll get around to learning soon

people will never drink straight from the river ever again.

is this mp!

love this.
thank you.

I think it could be good to make it to where you need a certain level of cooking knowledge
To know how to properly prepare the fish
Without getting sick
So if you don't have a high enough skill the worms will survive and infect you

I wouldn't make it TOO high though
Maybe 3-4 cooking level

Well you'd think cooking the fish would make it safe to eat then, it just means raw fish would be dangerous.

If I do end up doing that I'll probably put it separate from Waterborne
So people can decide if they want that

Unamelable that would be fucking horrible just imagine getting a shit tone of fish but then you just die due to eating tainted fish

Waiting for sequel: Impossible Fishing: Water is tainted with Knox Infection

Steam checks everything put on the workshop
if it was miner it would have been caught before getting onto the workshop

do not just throw "bitcoin miner' around thats fucked up

BITCOIN MINER DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!

I like the idea that iron gut giving normal sickness, 50% dice roll dosn't seem worth it

I could try
I think a more fitting thing would be a 50% chance though
So that you still can get infected it's just a dice roll

I would like to suggest a sandbox option that lets iron gut have a chance of replacing the knox infection with normal sickness

As far as I know yes
the code shouldn't screw up the game

but always my sure to backup your save just incase

can this be added to existing saves?

If you implement the washing infection, could it be possible to have checks and probabilities depending on current bandaged wounds? Traits and so on; if not, I put the idea on the table anyway!

That's cool! Imagine you take it a step further and make the fish infected as well. It will make fishing impossible and the player will be strictly relying on farming and looting for food instead. It would be a new hardcore experience too.

I really want to do that

But for now it's only when you drink tainted water
If it's possible I'll make it also infect you when you wash yourself with tainted water

Is it going to make me infected when i take a shower or something?

Least masochistic Zomboid player

I am going to use this because i hate myself
thank you

@Born Of Birch a built-in function which randomly picks a number from chosen range, sorry i forgot to add that i meant it in the context of option which hides the tainted water warning/marking @Sir Doggy Jvla was talking about

I don't think so, but I'm not sure
I could ask other modders how to do that

Multiplayer?
