to get a number that high of water, you’d have to eat millions of charred steaks, that is definitely not possible unless you’re using creative mode, the value has been significantly nerfed. Also vanilla farmer armor works the same way, so it ain’t my fault lol. And no i won’t limit the amount of food/drink one can have active.

I wish I did eat that amount, but I did but not only like 20 water 10 coffee 5 new run speed drink, 30 charred meat and 10 tuna toast after a forget skills stopped stacking after then tried iron gut nothing at full level then master chef maxed stacking happened again while eating 5 charred meats but won’t affect food only water and stacking to a crazy number that’s why I was suggesting a cap so you don’t have that number going up to a million and making food and coffee still an option for other buffs to be used love your mod was working with everything until now this was after your last update since wasn’t happening last couple of versions all maxed out levels updated and started game noticed drink buff ok only works with drink keep playing number gets bigger I need more coffee gets bigger no cap on time limit eat charred meat buff gets bigger so its broken my game now great

Hello Black Wolf, excellent modlet and I enjoy it greatly! However after played 10 hours, I found some issues.

Advanced Engineering – The anything 50% faster stacks with forge and chem station. I can create forged steel, glue, and other items at 0:00 time. If you try to increase amount, it goes negative. I can create 100 forged steel and glue in less than 1 second is a bit ridiculous lol!

Huntsman – The increased damage to animals apply to animal corpses too, so you get less cuts per corpse. Less cuts = less yield. So you ended up with less meat, animal fat, leather, etc. An accidental nerf.

Live off The Land – IMO too buffed, I can get up to 15-30+ food per crop, even more so if I wear farmer suit. You’re pretty much get hundreds of food with just a dozen farm plot in a few hours, which makes farming redundant. I suggest maybe instead have x2+5 bonus, x3+10 bonus, x4+15 bonus, and 30 mins per stage for a total 60 mins.

Optional change/suggestions:

Only makes High Power/Hollow Point ammo bleed, as name suggests. Add a level of strategy, either go for bleed with HP ammo, or pierce multiple enemies.

Make Robotic Turrets up to max 50m activation range? I usually use these in large POI like school and army base, when I know I will be encounter a large group. I usually put them in a large area when I have a lot of maneuverability. 25m is still a bit too limited.

Thanks for reading, excellent modlet! Keep it up!

Hi Black Wolf, thanks for the reply.

Sure, if that’s not too much work. I already changed Advanced Engineering, Huntsman, and Living off the Land myself in the xml file.

I would like HP ammo cause bleed and higher chance of dismemberment, and for Robotic Inventor, you can just create a template and I’ll play around the number myself. Similar to Maximum Junk Turrets I’d like be able to adjust the accuracy, field of fire, activation range and weapon range, and number of deployment. I just want a pet class when solo lol.

Also do you know how to edit weapons as well? I’m thinking a modlet that makes T1 and T2 weapons viable alternative as well. I don’t like that once you have access to next tier, the previous ones are useless. Double barrel shotty should have the highest damage IMO.

yeah it’s pretty easy, just download this file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tC_NFCTNzhU0n7vQpSZRuK21gxdxyAvA/view?usp=sharing

As for the other things you asked:
Should be easy to edit the weapons the way you asked, all the values are in the vanilla items.xml file.

Robotic turrets activation range can be changed in progression.xml under “perkturrets”
Same goes for max amount of active turrets.

Turret accuracy can be adjusted in items.xml as the accuracy is determined on the ammo type, but that’s mostly for when you’re holding the turrets.
If we’re talking about placed turrets, i believe that stuff can’t be changed via xml files, nor the field of fire.

You do realize that you can pick 3, just that the third item always has the “complete” prompt and its text won’t be highlighted in green.
You noticed that you can pick 2 but DID you check that you only had 2 out of the 3 items you selected in your inventory after?
The game will not let you complete the quest unless you pick ALL the rewards.

*Always sneak damage on server

Im not sure if this is occurring for anyone else but I’m on update 317 and I loaded this mod on to a server. I removed all other mods on the server and started a fresh game with it and it appears that it is causing sneak damage to zombies when not sneaking at all. I’ve tested it multiple times with different weapons.

I just did some further testing, fully reinstalled my server so it was completely fresh files and only installed the Better Perks mod. It is applying sneak damage when the zombies are fully engaged. First hit is 5.5x sneak damage and after a few moments each hit after is 1.5x sneak damage. I have no other mods installed on the server and all setting are default.

Tested it on single player several times and it does not occur, only on a server have I had the issue. I’m unsure what would cause the issue, reset everything to make sure nothing would interfere with it. I’ll just wait and see if anyone else ends up with the issue. I may post it under the forums page maybe someone there would give it a go on their server. Thanks for trying.

No worries, appreciate you trying. Never heard of this type of issue before in all the years using mods. We will definitely check back in when we restart our server again. Got this one saved to check out.

We decide to do a server wipe and give the mod another try with stable and no idea what you did but appears to have solved the sneak damage issue on multi-player from what I can tell. Thanks for being persistent!

Hey Blackwolf,

First, I just wanna say thank you so much for taking the time to put together such an amazing mod.

This might be something of a tall ask, but would there be any chance of grouping some things together, for example Healing Factor with the Bleed Stacks and Steel Knuckles, for an all round viable fist melee build?

If not, could you please advise on how to edit your mod to exclude everything else and customise it myself?

Huge thanks!

Steel knuckles already deal bleed damage though

Hi, thank you for your reply!

I mean, I would just like to use the Healing Factor and Bleed for knuckles with adjustable bleed stacks, and to remove all other aspects of the mod.

The reason for this is to keep everything else standard, but just have HF and BFK (as above) buffed to make a viable melee build without buffing all the other perks.

I don’t know what to delete from the config.

Thank you again 🙂

Thanks for fixing the buffs. Had Efficient Digestion up to 3008 hours lol. I think the runspeed add on Cardio is a bit high, maybe a 5%/10%/15% or 5%/10%/20% instead. It’s just you get the first level and all of a sudden you’re moving like lighting, a lower first level maybe wouldn’t be so jarring. Thanks for mod, having fun using it!

Hi thanks for your reply, yes once I got some heavy armor on I slowed down considerably.

But a new bug: Treasure Hunter lvl 2 Marauder says it reduces the circle every 4 but actually does it every 2. I don’t know if it’s your mod or a combo of mods on my end. I have nothing else that affects perks. I’ve downloaded and installed the update from today 7/3 and it’s still doing it. Thanks again!

Honestly i didn’t touch treasure hunter much, since it wasn’t explained how the digging mechanic works. I think that everytime you dig one or two blocks the circle shrinks by that value

Deeply fun, makes playing solo a lot less dull with the spread of options. Fun bug though, consumables lasting for thousands of hours of buff effect.

OP, until I took some painkillers and dehydrated to death from full like a leaky faucet. Had the armor bug too, dl’d the patch, it fixed the armor, not the meds though x.

i know it isn’t working foe me because when i put points into the perks such as Daring adventurer it doesn’t give the %25, %50, etc bonuses and pack mule doesn’t give the run speed bonus and miner69er doesn’t increase the tool speed . so i don’t think its the mod i think its a problem either with downloading or installing the mod. when i press download on your mod it takes me to a different page and and i download it from there, so i don’t know if I’ve downloaded it wrong or if I’ve installed it wrong.

Yes, the download button takes you to google drive, that’s where the mod is. You are aware of how to install mods right? You know that you nede to extract the folder and put it in the Mods folder right?
And you can check if it works or not by reading the description of the first level of Charismatic nature, if it says that it applies on yourself, then the mod is working.

Firearms causing bleeding broke the game.I’m playing at maximum difficulty, and to kill 80% of the zombie species, I need to take 1 SHOT.Without pumping, the bleeding caused by the weapon lasts about 10 seconds with an average damage of 20 per second.You can shoot literally any part of a zombie’s body, and it will die itself in 8-10 seconds.I was particularly amused by the shotgun blast.A level 1 tubular shotgun with no SKILLS deals 30 to 45 damage per second (as far as I know, the fattest zombie in vanilla has 1000 hp).It means, that I can kill any zombie with two shots from a tubular shotgun.It might be a good mod, but bleeding literally broke the game. I have mods for additional weapons from Izayo, but the description only talks about changing the damage from a shot.Without any effects or anything else.And I fired a vanilla shotgun with a vanilla cartridge.I suspect that few people use the HP panel for zombies, which is why such an imbalance was not noticeable.

The mod was designed for harder games with yes, maximum difficulty, but also increased amounts of spawns.

I did notice the shotguns dealing a bit too much bleeding and i had planned on doing more testing to fix it if that makes you happy.

I’m not sure what you mean with whatever you’re talking about Izayo’s guns, the bleeding is applied differently based on the weapon you’re using and it is directly linked to its perk. Izayo’s weapons are directly linked to the vanilla perks, so they work too.

After testing, it seems to be related to the type of ammo, and it doesn’t gets applied correctly. Basically, it applies the amount of bleeding for each pellet in the shell, so a single shot brings it to its maximum stackable which is not what i had originally intended it to. I’m going to nerf it but AP shells are going to suffer about it.

Treasure hunter OP? Good joke.
Vanilla lockpicking is fully garbage since even at max level you can still break multiple lockpicks before opening something.
