📋 About This Mod
For Project Zomboid Build 42.20. Fully restart the game after installing or updating. Wilderness QoL A configurable wilderness expansion that adds a Wilderness skill, automatic foraging controls, wild-food identification, and practical outdoor quality-of-life actions while keeping a vanilla-style interface. Requirements No required dependencies. Wilderness Skill Adds a real 10-level Wilderness skill under Survivalist. Gain Wilderness XP by spending time outdoors in forests, deep forests, vegetation, farmland, compatible custom forest zones, and other natural ground away from urban or road zones. Higher levels improve movement through woodland, reduce tree-related injuries, reduce trap breakage without ever removing the risk, lessen weather and darkness penalties, and make nearby foliage less obstructive. At Wilderness 3, your survivor can occasionally sense nearby zombies, return accelerated single-player time to Normal, and warn that they can hear or smell danger. This has a one in-game hour cooldown. Headwrap and full shemagh variants use the Hat slot, allowing glasses to be worn at the same time. Automatic Foraging Open Investigate Area to find the automatic foraging controls. Walk Here searches while travelling to a selected location. Start Pattern supports Sweep, Expanding Spiral, and Perimeter Rings patterns with Tight, Normal, or Wide spacing. While Walking can keep searching during ordinary movement. Choose collection focus, Discovery Only mode, known-poison handling, item filters, and a forage bag. Nearby danger and unreachable discoveries are handled automatically, with per-survivor state for split-screen safety. Finding forage does not slow accelerated time by default. The vanilla slowdown can be restored in Mod Options. Wild Food and Inventory QoL Right-click an eligible berry or mushroom and choose Identify food. Identify all scans carried inventories, nested bags, and currently open and accessible nearby storage. Optional gold question-mark badges and
