📋 About This Mod
You are wandering around the dread zone in State of Decay 2. You then stumble upon a huge rucksack of ammunition resources. "Hell, yeah. With
this heavy powder, primer, lead, etc, I'm gonna make hundreds of
bullets. I'm gonna go gun blazin'. Wait for me you damn zeds," you
Then you go to the workshop/armory, and... "WTF?!?#@!# I need 5 resources to make a mere 6 rounds of . 50 cal?!"
Okay. Here's the thing. 1 Rucksack of ammo (14 lbs) gives you 6 ammounts of
resources. 1 resource weighs around 2. 3 lbs. Now, you have to spend 5
resources (11. 6 lbs) to make 6 rnds of . 50 cal that olny weigh 0. 3 lb?
What?! That doesn't make sense. I know it's only a game. But, when
weight is a big factor in the game. So, souldn't crafting also be
logical. (Sorry for my bad english. Don't know what else I should say).
What the mod does?
1. Encreases the amount of bullets and bolts crafted in both workshop and
armory. And you'll make +15% if you have a survivor with munitions
skill. For now, I only make rebalanced version, so it would feel
reasonable amount but not game breaking (I think) since in the world of
State of Decay you have to survive with scarce resources.
2. Resource cost is set equally to 2 in green and normal zone. 3 in dread zone. 4 in nightmare zone. and 5 in lethal zone.
3. The best part of the mod (I hope). Do you ever feel that it doesn't
make any sense that you only need 1 minute to build a workshop, but you
need 5 minutes to install a facility mods? Well, say no more. This mod
also reduces time to install mods to only 30 sec.
Caution!
If you are using mod that makes the armory accessible without requiring a
warlord as a leader, make sure you put my mod in higher priority.
This mod mod is created so you can still experience the game like in vanilla-ish, so that workshop still has a use.
Installation:
Steam & Epic Users:
%LocalAppData%\StateOfDecay2\Saved
Windows Users:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft. Dayton_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\StateOfDecay2\Saved\
IF YOU OWN THE MS STORE VERSION, YOU MIGHT STILL HAVE TO USE THE EPIC/STEAM LOCATION!
The Steam/Epic location is a kind-of "universal" path that the MS version
will occasionally use. Make sure to also check there, if you cannot
find/don't have the MS path listed above.
Copy the path above, then press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard to open the Run command
window. Paste the path there, and press Enter
If you do not already have one create a Paks folder. To install simply drop downloaded Pak
mods into the Paks folder then start the game and enjoy
If you are using multiple mods I recommend using Heilos's Mod Manager.
