Update: Just letting everyone know that I am seeing all the comments and concerns about the performance issues and bugs. I have not abandoned this project I have just been away and pretty busy with work and just casually gaming on the side. I have not updated this mod since before the prologue was released so I am not sure how exactly this mod is performing right now myself. I should be back to work out the bugs and issues sometime either this weekend or next weekend. Stay tuned! I plan on keeping this mod in tact!

this mod causes the game to lag heavily, i dont know why, please fix.

Mod is peak, the only problem I have the similar error as some

same problem as askal, new version, new save, but still buggy. Over all, if you improve the system and the devs cared about the modding community and added some stuff like an ease of life one then there would be no doubt that, that this mod would most likely be in every zero sieverts' fan list

for now I have it disabled so I can conserve my mats since, I keep crashing and I don't want to deplete my gear

this mod seems to polished and filled with passion, and it is mind you, but unfortunately this mod is just unusable for me, it crashed my game, made my cursor stuck on the edge of the screen.

to anyone that might need this, on how to remotely force end the Zero Sievert task while your mouse is stuck, Ctrl + Shift + Esc for task manager, use your arrow keys to navigate, search zero sievert and press enter, then press Alt + E to forcibly end a task, sincerely from a hunter!

1.2.21 work?

@Comrade Amoni Thank you! glad you are enjoying the mod so far! Yeah I'll look into the tree. I'm not a great pixel artist admittedly. But the cultist do indeed have black outlines.

Also the cultists, the cultists should also receive a dark outline. (was hard to tell at the night, but it didn't seem that they had one.)

Love the mod so far! Only comment is that the tree should be retextured to have a black outline around it, and maybe a third pixel color for the bark. AS it is, it stands out from the map in a very not good way-

The chalk lines around it are awesome tho.

@Askal Yes, but there is a questline that is unavailable to you unless you start a new save. You wont be able to unlock the augmentin questline, making it near impossible to deal with cultists poison.

Thankfully, restarting game fixes it. And lagging doesn't last long either, so I'll try to continue playing with my existing saves if possible.
I'll consider changing my save if it becomes totally impossible to play. Thanks.

@Askal whoof that's quite an extensive list. Do you still get the issue even when playing on a new save? And yeah, we apologize to everyone for having to do that, but the new update just for some reason would not work with older saves. Trust me if we could have figured out a way we would have.

@Askal can you list me what other mods you have installed if any? Also did you install the questline enabler and start a new save? This new update is not compatible with old saves that used any previous version of the mod.

The game was often stuttering after the mod was installed, and game is keep crashing when entering scene at Mall...

@BooKoo I've said before that I would be interested in something like that, but as of now we simply don't have the enemy events in the modding environment to support it fully.

What do you think if cultists summon a monstrous entity, or even better — if they’re killed, they resurrect in a monstrous form? (That one's a bit tricky, so I’m just throwing it out there as an idea :3)

@Yami3 No problem, and thank you so much!!

I had the start time wrong. Thank you for pointing that out.
I really like this mod, so I'm looking forward to the updates.

@Yami3. Make sure you are going into the swamp at 22:00, not 20:00. I just tested it out with my mod on, and cultists spawned in the map, and the clear the swamp was still working.
Image for proof https://i.imgur.com/6tK4Mz3.png

Bug report.
With the mod on, no green troops will be deployed north of the swamp, even at 8pm, and "Clear the swamp" will not begin.
If you turn the mod off and sleep for a day, green troops will be deployed and "Clear the swamp" will begin.
If you confirm this and then turn the mod on and sleep for a day, the green troops will disappear and "Clear the swamp" will not begin.

@OG Byrdman. There's been thoughts about it. Maybe in the future when we get more enemy functions yes. Just right now im really against the idea of just reskinning a blink or a big. Maybe once we can fully customize enemies I will test it out, but until then I just don't think it's a super great idea.

any chance we get a boss monster to fight in the future? perhaps if you don't kill the circle fast enough, He spawns

@SDgamer I just tested it out and it seems to work fine.

how well does this play with the Shady Dealer mod? Been playing a lot of other games lately in my back log so didn't get time to try it out

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3477955106

Anyone who's been trying this mod out lemme know if you feel 35% is a bit too low for the spawn rate. I was thinking about 40% is as high as i want to go and I definitely don't want to go up to 50%.

@churry93738 I sent you an invite. That sounds weird. Do you have any other mods enabled? Also I did just recently update the mod so you're issue may go away.

@Hey Person it will let me go to the forest but not any of the others and it was something if how the npc spawn i think im not the best with code send me a friend request and ill send a pic of the error

@churry93738 Wdym? are you getting an error or something going to different maps. could you post what's happening?

hey i just wanted to let you know that there's something going on with this mod it would let me go to different maps can you please fix it

@Liet Kynes Fixed! View Changenotes :)

the cultist spawn on my face many times, just after click space bar and stop train, is very nasty in hunter mode, can you fix this?

@cricketsanico. Yes a lot of mods will conflict with other mods at the moment the devs are working on a way to fix mod overlap. But until then, just assume that any mod that changes your game in any significant way won’t interact well with other mods that also change your game. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. If you want to experience it. Try a new save with just my mod on.

@Hey person. Yes any error as soon as go to load it to my saved game. If I read it right. It is conflicting with other mods I have on.

@cricketsanicon I still need more specifics if I'm to help you out tbh. Are you getting an error with this mod on or something. What is not working?

@hey person. Sorry I mean I'm stupid and can't figure out how to get it to work with my already 70 hour play though. I'm not good with all this lol

@cricketsanicon. Wdym? What problem are you having?

sucks this does not work

ah sorry it was just a interference between mods.

@Hey Person I checked it's not exist it in init.script
btw, when I tried to go to the Mall, the game is crashed.

@ichigoice3000 also, if for some reason your init.script still has
FactionCreate("Cultists");
FactionSetName("Cultists", "Cultists");

at the top, just remove them and save the script. They're not supposed to be there anymore.

@Hey Person
Thank you a lot!

@ichigoice3000. So I had to update the mod, it works fine on new saves, but it may have issues with saves that were created using a previous version.



Here is the fix:
1. Go to the scripts folder.

Drive:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\1782120\3473652384\scripts

2. open cultists.script

3. Find this

if (FileDataRead("cultist_faction_created") != 1) {
FactionCreate("Cultists");
FactionSetName("Cultists", "Cultists");


4. Remove
FactionCreate("Cultists");
FactionSetName("Cultists", "Cultists");

then save


5. Load your save back up.

6. Save and exit your game, and put
FactionCreate("Cultists");
FactionSetName("Cultists", "Cultists");

back into the script

7. Save cultists.script

@Hey Person
Thank you so much! It worked without any error by doing reinstall several times!
I don't think it's a fundamental solution though...

@ichigoice3000. I just downloaded the mod and it seems to work fine with mine I do not have that issue. Have you updated the vending machine mod? It shouldn't conflict with mine at all. But again on that mod page they do say it has some compatibility issues so that might be it.

Sorry for giving the name of another mod, but this mod seems to be interfering with "Thermal Goggles"
The error statement is presented below:
ERROR in action number 1
of Create Event for object obj_mod_generic:
Code failure in: "init.script"

Mod "Expert Armorsmith (Cultist?)" does not have a sprite named "s_heat"

Could you fix it if possible?
