Random Start Enhanced

Description
Introduction:
Introducing the 'Random Start Enhanced' mod, an inspired creation drawn from Chemical Shock's "Random Start" mod, designed to infuse a deeper emotional resonance into the tumultuous world of Project Zomboid. Crafted with a longing for a more immersive experience, this mod allows players a fully random adeventuce adding an element of unpredictability to their journey.

Each new life embarks on a unique odyssey, brimming with unforeseen strengths and vulnerabilities, fostering a profound connection with your survivors. Say farewell to predictable respawns and embrace the raw, unfiltered challenges of survival.

Four Gameplay Options:
  • Full Random: Randomizes character creation, profession assignment, and trait allocation.
  • Semi Random: Randomizes profession and traits while allowing player control over character appearance.
  • Random Profession: Introduces a new randomly generated profession to the existing list of occupations.
  • Semi Random Profession: Adds a new randomly generated profession to the occupation list, offering players the option to customize their character's appearance.

Features:
  • Random Profession: Embrace a randomly assigned occupation, where your unexpected skills might be the key to your survival.
  • Random Traits: Encounter an unpredictable mix of negative traits and a variety of positive ones, utilizing all available trait points to shape your unique survival profile.
  • Random Occupation: Adds a mysterious new profession to the list, randomly assigning you a role with its own unique survival challenges and advantages, and should work with most mods.
  • Random Character: Experience the thrill of uncertainty as your appearance, name, and clothing are chosen at random, creating a truly unique survivor.
  • Random Spawn: Begin your perilous journey in a randomly chosen city, where every step is shrouded in uncertainty and danger lurks around every corner.

Mod Compatibility:
  • Should work with most mods.

Mod recommendations:

Notes:
  • Sandbox options can't be utilized in the main menu at the moment, so until the developers change this, I can't add anything like that.
  • Please ensure that you only utilize one of the mod options at a time!
  • Place this mod after other mods that add occupations if you want the random option to appear last.
  • Can be added mid-game.
  • Works in multiplayer.

No, the randomized appearance currently applies only to the random profession.

Hello Jordan98ish2. Sadly sandbox options can't be utilized in the main menu at the moment, so until the developers change this, I can't add anything like that.

Any plans to add a blacklist-sandbox option?
im playing with trait mods, and one of the traits that can spawn in the start is bitten, that it is a insta reset

Hi Biotwiser! I haven't personally tested these mods. Unfortunately, I don't think there's an easy solution to this issue, and I will probably need to debug it when I have the time problem.

Hello KentBrack - There seems to be a partial compatibility with Moon/Void Slime's Literacy Skill mod (https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3149853052) , such that the passive skill is present on random starts, but the level is slightly less than expected. Baseline is lvl 5 for the passive, but you start with lvl 4 and half the xp to lvl 5. Is there any way to fix that?

If you have a trait that lowers or raises the Literacy skill, a similar loss of xp is seen in the starting stats.

At the moment, it isn't possible. However, I might be able to add it as an option in the future.
