[B42] Homemade Things

Homemade Things - created by nheve, with additional help from PepperCat.
All of my 'Homemade' mods put together into one mod for Build 42.
This mod is only for B42 - if you are still playing B41, please use my previous mods.

The main purpose of this mod is to provide alternatives for important, necessary tools, to be craftable on low levels. Its not focused on creating a hyper realistic experience, but i tried to balance all homemade items and make them not too overpowered.
This mod should be also very useful for more rural and even only wilderness gameplay scenarios.

Players, who are looking for a more challenging experience, designed more in line with a current Build 42 direction, can use now (thanks to PepperCat) additional version of recipes, by enabling the Base Mod and additional submod 'Homemade Things (Hard Recipes)'.

Please activate the main mod called Homemade Things (Base Mod).
Then activate only one of the additional submods - either choose Homemade Things (Easy Recipes) or Homemade Things (Hard Recipes).

Choose Easy Recipes submod if you want the game to feel more like in Build 41 - it provides tools affordable in early gameplay stage (but not too overpowered), without any skill level requirement, and almost all homemade recipes dont require any crafting surface - only exceptions are: making homemade bleach and homemade sledgehammer.

Choose Hard Recipes submod if you want the game to feel more in line with Build 42 - it provides necessary homemade tools but with more expensive resources - also adds requirement for crafting surface and specific skill levels, and removes few recipes for tools already added in vanilla.

Homemade Things (Easy Recipes) adds recipes for:
Homemade Hacksaw, Homemade Garden Saw, Homemade Pickaxe From Rags/From Rope, Homemade Trowel, Homemade Bleach + Homemade Lemon Bleach (Make 1L or 5L), Train Maintenance/Carving/Knapping/Basic Carpentry, Bash Flint Nodule with Stone, Make Homemade Wooden Mallet, Brainstorm Basic/Advanced Maintenance Methods, Carve Homemade Bucket from Log, Make Homemade Scissors, Make Homemade Needle, Make Homemade Knitting Needles, Make Homemade Sledgehammer, Make Homemade Crude Chisel, Make Improvised Sack from Sheet/from Bags, Make Frame for Homemade Sieve, Make Mesh for Homemade Sieve, Assemble Homemade Sieve, Extract Clay from Dirt, Extract Sand from Full Dirtbag, Make Homemade Bucket Of Clay Cement, Make Homemade Fleshing Tool, Make Homemade Shovel

Homemade Things (Hard Recipes) adds most recipes as above, but removes: Train Maintenance, Bash Flint Nodule with Stone, Brainstorm Basic/Advanced Maintenance Methods, Carve Homemade Bucket from Log, Make Homemade Needle, Make Homemade Knitting Needles, Make Homemade Crude Chisel, Make Homemade Fleshing Tool

My work on the mod is currently paused. I dont think ill be adding any new features, im sorry - i dont enjoy working on the mod as much as before. But ill try to provide necessary maintenance for the future releases of Build 42, when needed.

I wanted to include in the mod compatibility with sandbox options, to let the player choose which recipes to use, but i wasnt able to find any good solution for implementing this.

If you have experience in modding project zomboid, and have an idea how to implement this feature, please contact me on discord (info in the Contact & Support section above). Thank you!

This mod includes now the required translation entries for english language. If you would like to create translation for a different language, please check the short guide that i posted in a discussion thread below.
