I have an old save from 2025-04-05 (B42) with \MoreForagingCategories missing. It's not a Mandela effect — someone, at some point, made this mod or a similar one for B42.

I had a mandela effect and thought that I had this mod for Build 42. Man...

And if you turn on some other mods that add items to Junk's list (Like "How to make distillers" magazine from FuelCraft mod) all trash piles almost always generate that item even if it's chance set to 1 in "legendary" tier (noticed that something was off when got this mag 5 times in a row from several piles)

@ICKA - ICantKillAnyone
Thanks for the great mod!
Wanted to ask if you noticed your mod affecting how trash piles generate items in any way?
Was running a save with your mod and some other mods that added items to foraging "Junk" category and noticed that trash piles spawn only items added by those other mods.
Then created clean saves with just your mod and with no mods at all. With no mods at all at Max Foraging after running through most of trash piles of Riverside I got 50+ spawned (bags, cans, paperclips, regular trash) but with your mod on and also maxed Foraging was able to find just 2 items (gargabe bag and camera).

sandbox options?

@Andy the mod merged junk category into the trash category, I didn't see the need to have two trash categories. I'll make it more obvious in the description

@ICKA - ICantKillAnyone, what about the junk category? It has a lot of useful things and materials

@SimplyVORTEX and @Peeping peacock
Thank you for the kind words.

@Krilton
Yeah, I managed to make the files way simpler for this recent update, but sadly there's not a lot of foraging mods for me to reference so I just had to try a bunch of different things until I managed to make the code do what I wanted to do. It should be a lot more compatible with other foraging mods now at the very least.

@Ayomira
Sorry, but I do not plan to add any new foraging categories. This mod was simply to make the hidden foraging categories more accessible by giving them search focuses.

I've been wanting a mod like this! Thank you!

if loot choose:nothing ,only use foraging to survive , then can not get the car's fix tools forever(and also some magzines),can you do something about this

Regarding "Backup Often"... if something works, "SAVE". If that working feature suddenly fails, restore from backup as you probably did something by mistake.

We all have to start somewhere. We learn by doing, by making mistakes. Do not have a negative attitude on things. That "Important note" seen by everyone will make them not try this. I myself can't program from scratch but if I have something to reference then I'm good. One very important note, BACKUP OFTEN, as you can very easily screw up something and not know it then your racking your brain on where you fubar'd it. One thing about PZ modding is that if you don't close a statement properly, however that may be, you will cause things to vanish and get weird things happen. My suggestion to help you out, look at other peoples work and use that as a guide to fix the bugs that might pop up. It helped out an author that made an actual zombie cure because his mod wouldn't work all because of one "line" of code that wasn't thought of.

That's my 2 cents on things and..... keep on going!

Update on if it works... Yeah, works quite well! With the focus I actually managed to find what I wanted. Especially with packaged foods in urban areas, found myself a yummy jar of leeks.

Good work mate, keep it up.

Looks promising. I'll use this with buffed foraging mod so I can find stuff in deep forests easier, and will come back with info.

VERY INTERESTING , search bullets in the ground , VERY GOOD IDEA
