Vanilla Bugfixes

As for me, Build 41 is end-of-life. I’m not interested in maintaining mods for a game version I don’t use, don’t plan to test, and don’t want to keep a separate install for.


Check out my other mods!


THIS MOD NEEDS TO BE ON THE TOP OF YOUR MOD LOAD ORDER



Air-swing durability: Fixed an issue where, after hitting a door or a zombie, subsequent swings with the same weapon could still roll durability loss even when hitting nothing (air swings). Air swings no longer consume durability.

Spear Maintenance Logic: Implements an emulated fix that treats spears as melee for durability checks, restoring the Maintenance perk’s chance to prevent condition loss and stopping the “multiple points per hit” issue. This is a Lua-level workaround—the root cause lives in Java and isn’t accessible to modders. It does not change base weapon damage or durability values; it only corrects how durability loss is evaluated.

This mod intentionally overrides vanilla game files (100%). Place it at the very top of your load order.
It is only active on Build 42.12.1. If a newer game version is released, this mod will not load;
I’ll publish an updated version.

You can add or remove it whenever you like—these are purely technical fixes and won’t impact your save.
Just make sure it loads before all your other mods; otherwise, some of your other mods may not appear in-game.

• Blade sharpening (with handles) works again—now capped by blade/head condition and no longer downgrades the handle.
  
  
• Air swings no longer consume durability.
  
  
• Corrected spear classification so spears are treated as melee weapons
  
  
• Fixes a vanilla timing bug where backpacks vanish from the inventory bar after closing the Options menu by scheduling a one-time delayed inventory refresh.
  
  
• Vehicles (Server/Logic): Corrected battery charge math (no double-delta), fixed door/window entry scans (off-by-one & nil guards), preserved tap vs. long-press intent, and allowed Mechanics ≥ 3 to swap a battery with the engine running. -
  
  Why this change? I’m a trained automotive mechanic, and in the ’90s this was a common workaround. To be clear, that context applies to the 1990s only—I don’t recommend it on modern vehicles.
  
  
• XP / Recipes: Set the Generator knowledge recipe to unlock at Electricity 3 (matching intent) instead of Mechanics 3.
  
  
• Foraging / Search Manager: Stronger nil guards and flag checks, correct icon-affinity pools, consistent Z-level forwarding, fixed operator precedence for disable logic, reliable force-find distance, and “move near player” works even with a single candidate.

⚠️ My mod can’t intercept weapon damage when the vanilla engine applies it—even if that trigger is incorrect. What it does is detect illegitimate durability losses and immediately roll them back, restoring the weapon’s condition.

Since I can’t modify the Java side, this is a reliable Lua-based workaround. The only thing it can’t reverse is the final durability tick that breaks the weapon—that one is irreversible.

⚠️To clarify: if your weapon-durability mod shows that your weapon mistakenly lost condition after an air swing, my mod has already restored it.

I reverted the maintenance xp solution for air swings - because spears didn't get any maintenance xp afterwards.
