Thank you for this interesting mod. I found a bug about the using of honey. I can't use honey to cure my infection whatever i click 'use' or put honey into quick bar and click left mouse button. The result showed it only increased my food and health. 

 
@ZelongLi- "A Serving of Honey" can be used in your hand to help cure a "Medical Infection" not a "Z-Virus Infection". The Z-Virus can only be cured with "Antivirals" that can only be found in loot or as a quest reward.

True Survival is a go-to overhaul mod for those who appreciate immersion. Undead Legacy and ComSenMod were also great for this same reason, in the past. @Spider Thank you for all your time investment!

Perhaps it's not an issue for you, but only one problem to date: ridiculous base Health ranges on some of the new "bullet sponge" zeds. If "base_set" for "HealthMax" was somehow limited by/tied to Gamestage, or simply comparative to vanilla HealthMax values, IMHO True Survival would be much more balanced. Bearing in mind, a value of "80,120" or "100" represents a fully healed NPC or average adult human body. Zeds should NOT have several hundreds, or even thousands, of Health at early gamestages.

Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor and players just need to to learn to run. However, I cannot count how many times one of these new bullet sponges spawned on day 1 or 2. Almost always have to burn through an entire belt full of improvised weapons and tools (headshot only), just to get one to stop chasing...

Thanks for the feedback. I swear there is a method to my madness, the health ranges of the zombie's health is based off their vanilla health. The lower one is half the vanilla number and the higher one is double the vanilla. I suspect the zombie you are talking about is the one by Darkstardragon that comes in the NPCmod, the one with the thing coming out of its chest. It is the bane of many survivors. The issue with them is not their health but that that thing sticking out their chest is blocking their head, and this is a headshot only mod. The head hit box is there and does work if you can get around the protuberance. It was a quasi-bug that I have made a feature. Best way to deal with them is fire (just dont burn the house down :)  )  or from above. I would also make sure you are using the "Required Mod Settings" that are in the ReadMe file. The mod is made and balanced for those settings. Changing those can greatly affect the mods balance. Also, the TS community is more active on the discord if you would like to make suggestions, ask questions or report bugs best place to find us is there. Discord - https://discord.gg/nEVTcMMf5x

True Survival Mod News ​

 ​

I've gotten to the point where I can see what I have left to do and how long it will take. So I have made some decisions. I will not be holding the mod from release until its complete. Instead this is my new plan. Release Road Map for TS A21 True Survival A21 will be released in 3 main parts.

  • 9/1/23- First public test build will be released. It will essentially be the TS A20 mod updated to A21 plus all the new game mechanics and systems that have been added for A21
  • 10/1/23- The first half of the campaign will be added up to and including producing the ZVirus cure.
  • 11/1/23- The complete campaign will be added, adding end game and stopping the cause of the ZVirus.


I believe this release schedule will help me stay focused and also speed up completion with others helping with balancing and bug finding.

             True Survival #1.16 A21.1​

The first public True Survival test build is now available. Updated mod info can be found here - Mod Information
Please post all questions suggestions and bug reports here - Bugs and Suggestions
Unfortunately because of the severity and the amount of bugs in the current vanilla build this mod will not function correctly on Servers or in Coop and will not until they fix their code. Good luck, have fun and die well my fellow True Survivors!

I noticed on the modlauncher it has a line akin to "Vanilla has too many bugs, this doesn't work with co-op or servers" and I was curious if this was still accurate, and if so, what kinds of bugs? I feel like A21 is significantly better than previous offerings for bugs.
