Dynamic Infinite Search Mode

Description
Now compatible with b42 !
New :
  • in the b42 version, the trait has been renamed from 'Relentless Scavenger" to "Instinctive Survivalist Focus" .
  • Increased the number of zombie kills required to get the trait from 1500 for 2000, to make picking the trait from the start more worth it.
  • The Keen Hearing and Eagle Eyed traits slightly lower the Search Mode overlay effects. Hard of Hearing and Deaf increase the effects. Cat's Eyes lowers the darkness effect.
  • The Agility level is now modified by some traits. +1 if Dextrous. -1 if Clumsy. +1 if Overweight (High Weight) or Very Underweight (Very Low Weight). +2 if Emaciated or Obese(Very High Weight).




This mod dynamically disables search mode interruptions (zombies, sprinting, vehicles) and search mode overlays based on Foraging skill level, traits, zombie kills, and combat and agility skills levels.
Also adds the trait "Instinctive Survivalist Focus" which completely disables all interruptions and overlay effects from the start. It is gained dynamically once you a player meets the requirements.

Based on my other mods "Infinite Search Mode" and "Relentless Scavenger Trait".

Running interruptions:
Disabled after reaching Foraging level 3 and Agility skills level 5. (or if you have the trait)
(Agility level = Sprinting + Lightfooted + Nimble + Sneak levels , +1 if Dextrous, +1 if Graceful. -1 if Clumsy. +1 if Overweight (High Weight) or Very Underweight (Very Low Weight). +2 if Emaciated or Obese(Very High Weight).)
You still get the maluses from running/sprinting.

Search Mode Overlay Effects:
Affects blur, darkness, gradient levels, desaturation, and radius visual effects.
All disabled at foraging level 5. (or if you have the trait)
Before foraging level 5: lowers the effects according to the foraging level. The more levels, the less overlay effects.
The Keen Hearing and Eagle Eyed traits slightly lower the overlay effects as well. Cat's Eyes also lowers the darkness effect.
You still get the maluses from moodles, weather, darkness and such. Only the visual effects are removed.

Zombie interruptions:
The number of zombies required to interrupt Search Mode.
It increases with your Foraging skills, some traits like Brave or Desensitized, and the number of zombies killed.
Some traits like Cowardly and Agoraphobic will decrease it.

Vehicle interuptions :
(when entering a vehicle)
Disabled after reaching Foraging level 6. (or if you have the trait)

Instinctive Survivalist Focus trait :
This trait is dynamically obtained at level 8 Foraging, 2000 zombies killed, 5 levels in agility skills and 8 levels in combat skills
It disables all search mode interruptions.
It costs 7 points in the character creation screen, and grants +1 Foraging. Also grants +1 Scavenging (if you have the mod "Scavenging Skill")
Good foraging stats. (++radius, --weather effect, --darkness effect, ++categories) Visible with "More Descriptions for Traits".
Auto enables Search Mode automatically after loading a game.
The trait is slightly buffed compared to the other version because in the context of this mod it is less valuable sicne you can aquire it dynamically.

Once you get the Instinctive Survivalist Focus trait, you have the complete infinite search mode enabled.

Multiplayer:
I have not tested this in multiplayer. But it should work.

Compatibility:
Don't use this with "Infinite Search Mode" or "Relentless Scavenger Trait" or "Custom Foraging Settings".

Absolutely love this mod. Been using it the past few runs I've done. I love it when you lvl up enough and the screen becomes clear and then you level up enough again and you can run around but still find stuff to pick up! It's my favorite.

There should be a trait that lets you pick up stuff even while running but at a low lvl. Like an "observant" trait or something. If there is already a trait like this then let me know pls! I must have missed it with all the traits I have from other mods lol.

Is there a way to disable placed item picked up by the foraging while keeping the foraging mode active?

Thank you Champy!

@Wiegraf Folles It's fixed now, it wasn't a bug related to those mods, it happened without them too.

Instinctive survivalist focus is definitely not playing nice with more traits, dynamic traits, or evolving traits and/or all of the above. Basically hit 8 foraging then this mod became unusable. The instictive foraging just stopped working all together, no perk no access to foraging. I had to disable and go back to default just to be able to forage anymore. Unfortunate.

@Marads~Yuuka Not for me on b42

It's showing a lot of errors when search mode is enabled while inside a car.
