If you want more depth to the game - I cannot recommend enough the mod Darkness Falls..
4 different types of forge.
Scrap iron, Iron, Steel & Titanium grade tools.
Different classes to choose from - each with their own set of starter quests.
Traders that are not indestructible and have guard NPC's - you can set up your base inside one...
Lots of different vehicles.
Many new weapons. (Coil Rifle oh how I love thee!)
Major increase in Zombies and nights are dangerous again..
Very indepth food/farming system.
Titanium, Plutonium and Uranium Ores which can only be mined in full hazmat gear.
Plus many many other things - including an endgame......
Completely revitalised the whole game for me and my mates. Its a bit tricky to set up a private server but it can be done.
