Screw Screws!

Description
Brief:
Adds an additional button on the right click menu for nails / screws to convert to each others.

This spectacular mod allows you to quickly turn those pesky screws into useful nails, which are crucial to your survival in Project Zomboid. It is time to defend against the zombies with this amazing mod.


Description:
Are you tired of having excess amounts of screws in your inventory with barely anything to do with them?

Well you are in luck, this mod is for you. Welcome to my mod, Screw Screws!, or the original name "Turn Screws Into Nails (and vice-versa!)."

After researching online the different uses for screws, I came to realise that they are pretty abandoned and are only used for minor things, such as mods or cars. I also find countless posts complaining about excessively finding too many screws boxes and having nothing to do with them. I was also frustrated at seeing too many screws boxes and no nails boxes, so I made this mod to fix this issue.




Guide On How The Mod Works

  1. Have a nail or screw inside of your inventory.
  2. Right click on "Turn Nail Into Screw" or "Turn Screw Into Nail".
  3. This can also be done with the box variants too.


Compatibility
  • Works on SP (Singleplayer)
  • Works on MP (Multiplayer)

Coming Soon "THE OVERHAUL":
I'll eventually be updating this mod for B42 and overhauling it. As it is too much to code in to turn screws and nails to be used for every item, I will make it require some sort of tools (probably a screwdriver) to transfer it to each other, but will provide a negative of some sort, to prevent it being too overpowered. E.g., 2 screws for 1 nail.

Hmm that is strange.
I was using the mod last night on both a mid-run save and a newer save.
To double check it wasn't just me, I've just watched my friend install it on an already existing save and a new save. Both results show that it was functional and that he can run it well.

I believe the issue could potentially be that another mod is either messing up the crafting or overriding the stuff in this mod.
I am completely unsure what could be overridden as its a small mod and only interacts with nails and screws. I've tried a few other mods in the past (e.g., reduce crafting lag, those filter mods) and it is all functional with it.

Potentially try it on a new save and see if its functional. If that works, it may be mod conflicting IDs with the exact workshop ID or mod ID that I am using. I am really unsure on what it is, sorry.

I'm waiting for the full release of Build 42, but I wouldn't see why its already compatible.

On the comment about making screwdriver and screw the same as hammer and nail you probably just need to add a second recipe for each hammer and nail recipe

No worries man, happy to help :griefer:

What a life saver! Thank you so much for this mod! Nails everywhere but I am always struggling for screws

The game just has weird RNG spawns. Specifically it spawns a lot more screws then it does of nails, so thats why you probably found it more often.

Eventually I want to make this mod allow it so you can use nails and screws for anything that requires either, but it seems way too complicated to code in LOL.

I don’t know if it’s because of some mod I have installed, but I find myself short on screws more often than I do nails. Glad this mod works both ways!

It's probably possible to do, but I would have to find out how.
Also the fact that it probably wouldn't support modded usage either.
I am tempted to update it soon to require you to use a tool like a screwdriver or a hammer to turn it into each other.

I trying to find mod, where i can use screws and screwdriver for same thing as nails and hammer. This is closest i quess, but idk, its not much realistic, turning screws into nail without any tools os skills :/
