I want the character's level, skill points, and crafting levels to be reset to zero upon respawning, while keeping everything else the same as before the death. Thank you.

OK. That should be pretty easy to do. I'll announce when it's ready. (If there are any other "permadeath" features that can be done without C#, I'll included those in the XML but commented out in case anyone else wants them.)
In other news, I just add a new modlet:
Polluted Water
All water from natural sources is polluted and must be purified.
Features:
- All natural water sources yield polluted water instead of murky water. Polluted water takes away 15 health, and has a near-certain chance of giving you dysentery. Polluted water can not be boiled, and must be purified to murky water.
- Adds water purification tablets. Tablets can be crafted in either a campfire with a beaker, or a chemistry station. The recipe unlocks with the recipe for herbal antibiotics. They are also a rare find in medical loot.
- Purification tablets require bleach, which is new to the game. Bleach cannot be crafted, but can be found in loot in the same places as acid, with higher probabilities in places like sinks and janitor carts.
- Glass jars are back, but can only be filled with polluted water. Jars can be looted and crafted, but are not returned when liquids are consumed. This is for compatibility with other consumables in A21, and for balance reasons.
- Snowballs can be turned into polluted water using a glass jar at a campfire.
- Includes the features from the Murky Dew modlet, where dew collectors yield murky water but do not produce heat. You should not install the Murky Dew modlet separately.

That should do it for the water-related mods, there should be enough to please everyone by now.

Good news! I just finished the modlet.
Reset Character On Death
When the player dies, this modlet resets the player character's skill points, books read, and crafting skill levels.
When the player character dies:
- Skill points are reset and removed.
- Books that were read are forgotten.
- Crafting skill levels are reset to 1.
With XML edits, it can also support these features:
- Bedrolls and beds are no longer spawn points, so players do not spawn on them.
- There is no experience loss upon respawning.
- Resetting can be disabled for level 1 players, or for players that still have the "newbie coat" buff.
- Remembering skill points, books read, or crafting skills.
See the README for details.

Also: While working on this, I discovered that TFP made some changes in A21 that make some of my Mostly Dead C# code redundant. I'm going to update that mod, and the Permadeath extension, to use the new A21 features. I am hoping it will not require a new game, but no promises.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. There are five recipes that have snowberries as ingredients (seeds, tea, herbal antibiotics, medical paste, gin). And, there is nothing called "foodCropSnowberry" in the game.
I also just tested the mod in a new game. I harvested the snowberries from wild plants in the snow biome, and made all the recipes. Everything worked as expected.
Can you give more details? Steps to reproduce?

Hello, is there a chance that you extend your Showberry mod so that you can grow the berry again?

Thank you, but before that, I found a problem. If you die during a blood moon, it will have a great impact on the game experience. So I want to ask if it is possible to stop the generation of zombies when you die during a blood moon? Thank you again.

This should already be possible. Snowberry seeds are unlocked with blueberry seeds, and they can be planted in farm crops and harvested.
I don't know how to do that. If there is a way, I'm pretty sure it would involve C# code, so it would have to go into the "Mostly Dead" modlet instead.
Also, I thought the game used to do that on its own. But that may have been a previous alpha. It's been a long time since I've died in a blood moon.
This thread caught my attention while looking for realistic and survival mods, and may I say, I appreciate all the ideas behind the mods you are creating, I also read the "mostly dead" manifesto, It should be a constitution for any realistic "open world survival craft", I liked the part about overcoming helplessness and eventually losing the immersion in the character/world built, and that's exactly how I felt with these games and I appreciate you putting it in words, I guess Devs will always want to cater to the masses, thus would make grindy mechanics instead of innovative and problem solving ones to avoid intimidating new playes, I don't know

I mean of course they going to cater to the massive. They gotta sale the game not just to a hand full of hardcore players. That called smart business. One of the main reasons why they decided to make it pretty easy to modify the game. I mean for the most part. I'm no coder but learned to do little things. The ones that know wha they doing seem not to have like to much problems compared to a lot of other games.
...........................
To the perma death blood moon thing a few post above... I'm pretty sure if you die and don't move the rest of horde they will not attack anymore. They only will start attacking if they see you or hear you again.
Hello there CWF, I appreciate the replies and I Agree with you, 7d2d Is the most fitting of all survival games, for lots of reasons, namely total world destruction, there are many mechanics that have been added and removed and the devs are still "fiddling" around with the mechanics rather than implementing them, they really put the early in early access, but after taking game balance into consideration, making mechanics toggelable, like with mod, like how water bottles can be brought back into or out of the game seamlessly with mods, among other things, mods are fine and all, but it makes me feel like my gameplay experience is even more lonelier coz I am doing something different from everyone else, plus I like playing on PVE servers... so you know, thats about it

I just fixed a minor bug in the Slow Build mod. I was still using the A20 format for importing vanilla assets, and that has changed for A21. If you tried to drop a box of nails (or hold them in MP) then the game would not be able to find the "sack" mesh.
This is fixed. Since the fix should not break any game saves, it is now at version 21.0.1.1. I recommend downloading and installing the new version.
Thanks for @magejosh for discovering this!
When I'm not playing 7D2D, I'm usually playing other survival games (Subnautica, Raft, lately Forever Skies), so survival games are generally more to my taste. It's saddening to hear Roland talk about putting "fun" as a trump card in gameplay, because when he says that, I hear "instant gratification" or "power fantasy" - the kind of things games like Borderlands or Doom are good at. Not that I don't like those games (I sunk hundreds of hours into the various Borderlands games) but it's not why I play 7D2D.
My ultimate goal with 7D2D would be to make a game where it is challenging to survive with enemy spawning disabled. And where it is just as challenging after the first couple in-game weeks. That's not an easy task (especially the latter, players need to feel as if they're progressing), but it would be cool if it could be done.
Having said that, the 7D2D devs do make efforts to make the survival aspects more challenging, that's why it's no longer trivial to get water. I often disagree with how they do it, but I'll give them credit for trying.
And they made a game that is pretty easy to mod, and is continuously making the modding tools better. They should get a lot of credit for that.

@khzmusik this probably isn't in your interest but just curious. How hard would it be to make it where all cars act like the police car? Like you would have to lock pick them to get into them or beat on them like the police car. If beat on them then you have that % chance for alarm to go off and spawn zombies. Now this might be where it gets tricky idk. But keeping the emergency vehicles with the sirens but changing the siren on regular vehicles to like a horn constantly goin off like a regular vehicle does. Making it like idk like 30% chance of them going off but also adding to it say like idk 15% chance a screamer being part of the group of zombies that spawn lol.....
Now I know just adding the code of the police car to all cars and even adding screamer to it probably wouldn't require it being a C# modlet even though it probably look silly with sirens goin off on a regular cars and the flashing emergency lights lol.... but I assume changing the sound to a horn alarm and not having the flashing emergency lights might make it C# or at least some if it like the changing sound? Or what about using a sound already in game like the vehicles horn just on more of a repeat for X amount of time..... idk it all sounds good in my head but not sure how hard it would be to mod something like that.

I have not taken a look, because I am not particularly interested myself. However, that feature has been available in Darkness Falls for a very long time. If there is sufficient demand, I could try to mimic it, to the degree possible.
In other news - it looks like TFP made it much easier to do a "permadeath" modlet without C# changes. I'm going to see how far I can take this without running up against broken A21 changes. It may be significant. Stay tuned.
I'm still placing a priority on custom entities though, so please be patient. (It looks like zombies will be independent of NPC Core this time around, but of course human NPCs won't, caveat emptor.)

Sure, I can do that. I don't know how much of it is needed in A21 though.
This time around, I probably will not incorporate Khaine's Lockable Inventory Slots mod. Nearly everyone who wants that knows to get it from him, and if we both have it, then there will be conflicts. EDIT: Plus he was talking about finding a way to save the slots, and if he figured it out then his modlet is better anyway.
I will put the rest in though.

Done.
Quality of Life
Features:
- The "already read book" icon is now a semi-translucent green check mark. Inspired by this post on the forums: Mod that lets you know you've already read a book?
- The time it takes to scrap or smelt brass is reduced by half.
- If you have the required knowledge to craft ammo bundles, you can craft them from loose ammo (not just from raw materials).
- Dropped loot bags stick around for 60 (real-time) minutes before despawning. (New for A21.)
- Anvils can be scrapped for iron, or smelted in the forge. (New for A21.)
This version does not contain Khaine's Lockable Inventory slots, but it can be enabled in XML. See the README for details.

In other news: I'm working on the A21 version of my zombies. For this update, every zombie will have feral and radiated versions.
But I could not figure out how to get them to work without SCore and NPC Core, so you will need to get those two packs.
I will announce here when it's done. Next on the list after that is Survivors.

Came over from the NPC Mod thread. I don't use many mods but it seems most of them that I do use are yours like the murky dew collector and rain collector. I'm thinking of trying the Polluted Water one as well. I used the Food Spoilage in A20 but I am debating if I want to use it in A21 yet. Might save that for a second play-through for added challenge.
Just want to cast a vote for working on khzmusik_Civilians when you have time. Thanks.

Glad you like the modlets. And updating the Civilians mod is up next, after I finish updating zombies (which should happen within a day or two).
If there were any reason that I would delay releasing an updated Civilians pack, it would be because I would like to give them all backstories which can be discovered through dialogs. But that is something I can release later.

Great, thanks. Backstory and some dialogue would be awesome.
