@killrama Is your game version Build 41 or Build 42? If it’s Build 41, you won’t be able to enable this mod.

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

@Vico Yes, it works, but the *DEV* options only appear in Singleplayer, and in Multiplayer the Sandbox Menu is already available in the Admin menu.
Vico 12 Dec @ 2:32pm 
Is this working with 42.13?

thank you!

Thank you for making this mod, it's been incredibly useful!
Zky  [author] 4 Dec @ 6:17pm 
@Mr. JayBee Yes, you can turn the water back on, but you have to do it from the Advanced Option that says *DEV*, which is above the water and electricity option, because the dropdown option for electricity and water is not working.
Mr. JayBee 4 Dec @ 5:44pm 
would this enable me to turn water back on if I change the days until shutoff? I have a burn ward patient with a great start but water shut off on day 2...

@子 桀 Yes, the B42 Sandbox Options menu doesn't have a Time category, but by searching online you can change the time from the map_sand.bin file.
子 桀 3 Dec @ 10:11pm 
Time cannot be modified within the game

Works just fine :stardrop:

@life4trinity The game spawns zombies based on grids. The grids around your spawn area already start with low population, so switching the option to high won’t change those, but it should still take effect in other cities, most likely :)
life4trinity 20 Nov @ 2:30am 
How does this work exactly? For example, what happens when I change the starting population when I've already started the game?

awesome, thank you for the detailed response!

@DreezyMoto

I updated the Sandbox Preset Saver Mod. Now you don’t need to use any Sandbox mod or -debug, and I added a keybind option, so you can open the Save Preset button and save your Sandbox preset using a keybind you set. Also, if you need access to Sandbox Options, the Save Preset button will appear when you open the sandbox menu with this mod or -debug. The Sandbox Preset Saver mod is only supported for the game’s default sandbox options menu and will not work with mods that have a custom sandbox menu.

However, if you changed the days of Water Shutoff and Electricity Shutoff when setting up a new Sandbox save, it will not work, and it will adjust the day according to what you selected in the Water Shutoff and Electricity Shutoff dropdowns. This issue may also occur with some other options, so it is not caused by the Sandbox Preset Saver or this Sandbox Options mod, but by the game’s own Sandbox Options menu. Keep that in mind.
DreezyMoto 6 Nov @ 6:00pm 
cant use presets without separate mod and -debug?

@Mr. Negative I’ll take a look when multiplayer is released.
Mr. Negative 29 Oct @ 9:13pm 
will it work with the MP server mod for B42? or just single player?
Takaki Kasekari 29 Oct @ 2:56am 
Understood. Thank you for the feedback I tried the others but don't work exactly like this one.
Zky  [author] 24 Oct @ 2:04pm 
@Takaki Kasekari I’m sorry, but this mod has been configured to work only with Build 42.
There are Sandbox Options mods made by other modders that are compatible with Build 41, and I would recommend using one of those instead.
Takaki Kasekari 24 Oct @ 11:18am 
is there gonna be B41 ?
无聊的栀子 9 Oct @ 1:07pm 
Thank you!
Zky  [author] 9 Oct @ 11:04am 
@洛斯里克🏄‍♂ You’re seeing the red X because you’re on Build 41. This mod only works with Build 42.
It is red and prohibited from use, In the game settings MOD
Unable to activate the module
Zky  [author] 9 Oct @ 10:26am 
@洛斯里克🏄‍♂ Are you talking about the advanced settings, or were you unable to activate the mod?
Unable to enable:steamsad:
Zky  [author] 9 Oct @ 2:58am 
@无聊的栀子 Alright, I’ve updated the mod. Hopefully, it works now.
无聊的栀子 9 Oct @ 12:24am 
Thank you for your response!
To clarify, I meant adding a translation text for the "Sandbox Option" in the right-click menu.
The format should be ContextMenu_XXXX, so that the Sandbox Option in the right-click context menu can also be translated.
Zky  [author] 8 Oct @ 5:10pm 
@Zara ♡ Have fun playing!
Zky  [author] 8 Oct @ 5:04pm 
@tt_mcswag I already have a mod called Sandbox Preset Saver, but I recommend reading its description before using it. Here’s the mod: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3573672999
Zara ♡ 8 Oct @ 4:59pm 
Ooo, maybe I should use this one over Stars lol The advanced isn't available for their mod.
tt_mcswag 8 Oct @ 4:59pm 
I don't even know if it's feasable, but could you add an option to SAVE presets? I make a lot of changes, and would like to be able to carry them over to new saves without having to make notes of every change I make. Thank you for this incredible mod. It's essential to my playthroughs!
Zky  [author] 8 Oct @ 4:46pm 
@无聊的栀子 I added translations for a total of 27 languages, hopefully they’re all correct :)
I also added a new option in the "Sandbox Options" category that lets you enable or disable the Advanced Settings.
无聊的栀子 8 Oct @ 3:03pm 
Could you add a localized text for the "Sandbox Options" in the right-click menu? It's not a big deal, but it would still be greatly appreciated if you could.
Zky  [author] 8 Oct @ 1:07pm 
Don’t forget to exit and rejoin your save after changing certain options in the Sandbox Options menu to make sure they work properly.
Zky  [author] 8 Oct @ 12:49pm 
@KemonoAmigo I updated the mod. The Sandbox menu now includes an option to change the number of days alongside the water and electricity settings.
KemonoAmigo 8 Oct @ 10:49am 
I got this strange bug that is probably not related to this mod, but I changed the settings of something else unrelated and the water and electricity instantly shut off when I clicked "Apply".

My water and electricity are both set to 6 - 12 months and that save was only 5 days in. I think not even dev mode can re-enable them now.
JunkTruck 7 Oct @ 3:31pm 
@zky thank you!
Zky  [author] 7 Oct @ 11:08am 
@JunkTruck Yes, the Time tab is currently missing from the Sandbox menu in Build 42.
Hopefully, it will be added in a future update.
In the meantime, you can manually change the Day Length by editing the map_sand.bin file
JunkTruck 7 Oct @ 4:13am 
Is it intended that there is no Time tab? I wanted to change the day length back to 2 hours after it got set to the default 1.5 in one of the newer patches but there isn't an option
Athena 26 Sep @ 9:39am 
@zky It worked! Thank you <3
Zky  [author] 26 Sep @ 9:13am 
@Athena If you already have an existing save, activated the mod from the main menu, and it still didn’t work, you should follow the instructions in the mod description under the section “If the mod did not work on your pre-existing save.”
Zky  [author] 26 Sep @ 9:10am 
@Athena Did you enable the mod?
Athena 26 Sep @ 9:03am 
@zky yeah, is this happening because I set my game to apocalypse mode at the start? I’m kinda confused.:steamsad:
Zky  [author] 26 Sep @ 8:08am 
@Athena Are you sure you are running your game on Build 42?
Athena 26 Sep @ 5:46am 
Its not working, help :steamsad:
Golden Dragon 23 Sep @ 9:45pm 
Thx you!
