I think instead of the Zomboxolone pills completely resetting the virus it should prevent it from worsening for 24 hours, kinda like Zombrex from Dead Rising. So you have to keep taking it everyday and you would have to keep finding more until you either turn or find an ampule. It would also make it less OP for if you play on anything longer than the default 2-3 days for the infection to kill you.

How about you read the description first

does it work already existing files?

Amazing mod guys. Thank you for your work.

♥

@Inverspe I think the lower the number the higher the spawn rate

ngl even on 0.01 spawn frequency they are still pretty common

@RedMenace3416 Oohh ok. Thank you! I had to disable it and use KY MED mod until it was fixed(Which can be a good mod but the cures and stuff have extreme side effects that can last for months, which I personally didnt like) Happy to know this is back!

@Mike, yes

can u add this midway?

to clarify better, Redmenace is referring to the game dev hotfix that was released on the 3rd of this month.

Thank you Red

UPDATE:
The developers actually fixed this mod as well as countless others with the new hotfix. This mod works again without @reclusive09's temporary fix. Tested on a new and old save just for clarity.

i already underwent the fix

can anyone confirm if the hotfix fixed this mod? it seems to talk about the exact issue

I also wouldn't wait too hard on this mod to be updated. The author is currently inactive with this mod.

For those wondering, downloading or updating existing mods all at once will override @reclusive09's temporary fix. Don't attempt to unsubscribe from this mod unless you want to re-enter the fix again and again.

The fix of reclusive09 works for me on a new game. I did not try that with an old save.

can confirm the fix works. thanks @reclusive09 it was super easy

help...

the fix from @reclusive09 did not solve it for me. I tried to take "end" off and leave it on as well, still not showing up with a map when I load in.

Thank you so much for the fix, @reclusive09! I can also confirm that this fix works.

I can also confirm that the fix from @reclusive09 works. Thanks @reclusive09!

The fix from @reclusive09 works. I tested it on one existing save and one new game.

Quick fix until the author updates:

Navigate to the TheyKnew_BodyLocations.lua

For me it's: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3387110070\mods\TheyKnew [B42]\42\media\lua\shared\NPCs\TheyKnew_BodyLocations.lua

Copy the below text and paste it into the above lua file (make sure to replace everything). Tested on a clean save with just They Knew active and seems to work fine. I make no promises I have no coding knowledge.

local TheyKnewLocations = {
"Back2",
}

local group = BodyLocations.getGroup("Human")
for _, location in ipairs(TheyKnewLocations) do
local bodyLocation = BodyLocation.new(group, location)
group:getAllLocations():add(bodyLocation)
end

I think the new update broke this mod.

Patiently waiting >,<

Please update this, the new update broke anything related to bodylocations

Rip. Im getting this error now after the B42 update. Dammit. I was going to do a Secret Z run too

Maple +1 ;(

needs updated sadly

i guess nearly all clothes, equipment and weapon mod cause error on new update PZ also effect this one huh

b42.12 has caused errors in TheyKnew_BodyLocations.lua lines 3&5 error checker says :(

I had a great set up. Right inside Louisville. Then about a month in, I got scratched by a lone zombie. Just a little cut on the head, healed in less than a day. But I knew something was wrong. First, the anxiety, then undeniable came the fever.

I was forced to go further afield in search of the cure. I drove all the way across the map, stopping in fields and car parks to smash down figures in hazmat suits. Nothing.

After all the ammunition and zombies were gone, I went out to find a weapon or ammunition, so I could fight to the end. Then almost missed it - a zomboxycycline vial. Broke it. Climbed back over the fence, and sat down in the kitchen among the scraps of furniture. Drank a juice box and wondered if I wanted to weep.

This mod doesn't ruin the game by providing a cure. It amplifies the game.

Is it possible to craft the cure? What is the recipe? Since I don't see it in the crafting menu?

So whats the best way to delay the virus? Should you use Zomboxycycline straight after you are bit or do you have to take it before your bit?

топ, сделал вакцину, пока принимал умер от укуса

Broken with 42.10. Game hangs at black screen on loading into map.

Additionally, it could be interesting if early antidotes weren't fully effective. Maybe at the start of the outbreak, they have a low success rate — and there's even a 50% chance that untested vaccines cause mutation instead of curing, turning the player into a powerful "super zombie" with high speed, damage, and HP. The longer the apocalypse goes on, the better the chances of getting a stable, safe antidote.

This would add risk, lore depth, and a unique gameplay twist to experimenting with early vaccines.

Hi! Thanks for your great work on They Knew — one of the best immersive mods for PZ.

I had a lore-friendly idea: could hazmat zombies with antidotes spawn more frequently the longer the game goes on? It makes sense that early in the outbreak there wouldn't be many (or any) scientists in the field yet. But weeks into the apocalypse, it would be believable that field teams were deployed into the infected zones, bringing antidotes and becoming infected themselves.

Also, maybe rare mobile science camps or underground labs could spawn — already overrun and dangerous, but offering high-value loot and more narrative flavor.

Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for your work!

@TheMan thank you for confirming, I was wondering why I had one turned off

@ Monkey, That makes so much sense. I upped the preventive medication and put zero for the Curative. Thanks for the idea!

@Afterworlds - any chance you can put the descriptions in the Sandbox options? I keeping havingto come here to check which one is which when setting up XD

Even just the following would do:

Zomboxycycline (Preventative)
Zomboxolone (Palliative)
Zomboxivir (curative)

@LioTheManlyBadAssHero yes

is this compatible with the antibodies mod?

The amount of people tryna grab the B42 version for their B41 client is hilarious. Yall are why there's yellow paint everywhere, lol

NGL, I like the idea of these Hazmat zeds carrying Zomboxolone and Zomboxolone more often than the other meds. It just makes more sense to me that they would be carrying prevention medication, rather than the cure. One can explain away not using the prevention meds in that they mis-timed it and got unlucky, whereas explaining away the cure is a bit harder - they would have had to have been killed.

As such, I set the preventative to 75%, the delay meds to 20% and cure to only 5% ^^

mod isnt showing up and giving a 'failed to load' error on my mod manager

does this even work? I'd be damned if this was responsible for invisible zombies

Mod is not showing up for me either :(
