This mod greatly expands the variety of characters, facilities, and actions available to the player. It is equally applicable to the player who chooses to keep a small group and rush through levels quickly, as to the player who lingers on a level as long as possible, building up the largest group of survivors they can. It touches upon many aspects of the game. Some parts are now easier; some parts are now much harder. There is no central theme- it was not designed to be a 'difficulty' mod, or a 'base' mod, or a 'character' mod. It touches upon many aspects of the game, including characters, facilities, skills, and items. The changes are ones that I personally found to be useful or interesting.
Compatibility: This version requires the YOSE edition of State of Decay. It is not compatible with other mods that change the same files. If this is the first time using the mod, you must start a new game. If you are upgrading from a previous version, I recommend installing either just after starting a new level, or after moving to a new home base and before building any facilities.
Installation: Place the zip file in the State of Decay YOSE\Game directory (By Default, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\State of Decay YOSE\ ) Right click and select Unzip here. If you unpack the directory elsewhere, the directories get placed into the State of Decay YOSE\ directory to use. If you have a folder in the directory with the zip file name (ie. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\State of Decay YOSE\QMJSExtendedFunctionsMod-YOSE-V2.01-Game, that is incorrect. Move everything from inside that directory and put it into the Game directory, and then remove the empty QMJSExtendedFunctionsMod-YOSE-V2.01-Game folder.)
YOU MAY NOT UPLOAD ANY PART OF THIS FILE TO ANY SITE, MODIFY THESE FILES AND UPLOAD TO ANY SITE, OR USE ANY ASSETS OR CODE FROM THIS WORK IN ANY PROJECT.
REMOVE OTHER MODS FIRST and then VERIFY THE GAME CACHE. The mod is not compatible with other mods that use the same files, and it is possible that while removing other mods you can accidentally delete a file that is required by the game.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THE MOD IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER MODS INSTALLED OR IF YOU HAVE MODIFIED ANY FILES. I do not have the time to investigate every other mod out there to determine compatability, and I will not be installing/uninstalling other mods to troubleshoot issues.
Current 2.01 known issues: Due to load order of the modified files, starting a new game in Breakdown without loading into an existing game first may cause the game to exit to the desktop. If this occurs, restart the game, select an existing profile, enter that game, exit, switch profiles and then start a new game. You can also load a standard mode game, then escape back to the mode screen (Standard, Breakdown, Lifeline) and continue your Breakdown game. If that does not work or if you do not already have a valid saved game, rename Game/libs/class3.1/rts/sandbox.win.bmd to sandbox.temp, then after starting the game, exit and rename to sandbox.win.bmd (Please also see the sticky post below for any additional problems that have been reported.)
If you are experiencing issues with the mod: Verify that the mod is installed correctly. Make sure you do not have any other mods installed that have replaced files in this mod. Shutdown Steam completely, start it as an administrator, then do a file verification. When complete, start the game, and once it loads, exit again. Shutdown Steam and restart normally. If you have not started the story mode (regular State of Decay at the loading screen), start a game there before starting Breakdown or Lifeline. After accounting for incompatible mods and installation issues, the majority of the remaining issues are caused by loading the mod and continuing to use an existing game instead of starting a new one, and may resolve by moving to the next level of Breakdown (if not caused by custom characters using traits not in the mod.) Have you started a new game, or are you trying to use an older game with the mod? The next most common cause was using the mod but not completely... Make sure you are using the complete mod, not "everything but this one file"... that causes many of the problems. If you had other mods loaded before, when you uninstalled, did you check to make sure that there were no other leftover files? Doing a file verification from Steam or a reinstallation won't fix that. Steam won't remove anything it did not install. Installations outside of the normal default Steam directory occasionally cause issues.
If you start experiencing errors after playing for a while, exit the game, then shut down and restart Steam. This is particularly prominent with ENG_LOC_Missing issues. Add an exclusion for the game and save directories in your antivirus settings.

As noted above, most mods do not work with this one due to the extensive changes made.
I have had a number of people reporting issues after installing "State of Decay - YOSE - XBO Challenge Rewards Unlocker".
In short, the character and items are ALREADY in the mod, and it is causing conflicts that can prevent the game from starting or completely corrupt your saved games.
Base game debug characters are spawning for some users. This should not ever happen, and I have been unable to determine why it affects some users. They will be removed in the next release.
Just letting you know, I got the debug soldier looking guy popped up, his name is Debug 4 and has no traits. Doesn't seem to be ruining my game or anything though but ill keep an eye out.
Can you upload your characters.win.xml file so we can remove the Debug characters? It took me a bit to find them with the BMD editor and it is painful to delete them using the editor.
I don't release the sources until I am done working on a mod. It is still in progress.
Don't recruit them. Don't mess with the BMD, the BMD editor does not properly handle all of the YOSE code, as it was made for the previous version and can corrupt your game.
hey qmjs its nice mod but im sorry, i just want to extra facility place, and this mod so many file inside, what's name file mod for this? (just only for extra facility place) because i dont know there has lot of them like a character file, libs file, objects, etc. thank you..
Yes. Game saves using the mod won't work properly after uninstallation.
The easiest way is to delete the entire contents of the State of Decay YOSE\Game directory (By Default, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\State of Decay YOSE\ ), and then do a file verification in Steam, which will replace the required files.
the thing that i want to know is, how the vitality base of pain works? i mean, as i teste it, whit one character as lvl 1 on fight, you recive the same damage as normal, but one character whit level 7 on fight, literaly have less damage if he have full life, but recive more when is low life. is that how it work? or i am missing someting
I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. If this isn't what you meant, let me know.
Level or fighting skill does not affect damage at all.
Vitality is based on pain. The first few hits have less effect, growing effect in middle, then scales down again when low. (already max/distracting pain, but fighting for life- adenaline)
Essentially, at above 90% health, you take 50% damage, and then as you are more wounded that increases. Below 50% health, it has reached 100% damage per hit, and then decreases again below that, to a minimum of 30% at 10% health.
The number of missions that allow npcs to accompany you is greatly increased. They will not go with you to help other enclaves, and they won't go on training/morale/black death missions. This has been a part of the mod for a very long time.
These are the last 50 or so lines in my notes: Adjusted the radio option for vehicle delivery to make it less likely to spawn the same vehicle multiple times. (The first vehicle spawned per game session is still likely to be a work truck.) Corrected the path for one character's model. (The survivor could not spawn properly.) In Breakdown and story mode, slightly adjusted the occasional sickness event, the chance to become hurt or sick in the daily evolve events, and the chance to remain the same instead of becoming grave. Slightly improved the effects of high medical skill. Adjusted the description of the task needed to unlock one hero. (REVERTED- Resets all heroes so they need to be unlocked again.) Adjusted the frequency of some common fatecard events to prevent them from completely blocking more rare events. Enclave training mission requests now time out. Replaced 5 debug characters in base game. (Used 5 previously non-playable minor story characters.) Corrected a Lifeline suppressor creation issue. In Breakdown, adjusted the penalties for starving characters. In Breakdown, to compensate for the minimum food use (starvation rations), when there is a sizeable excess of food the survivors will eat more. (Improves morale.) In Breakdown, corrected an issue where certain fatecards would not be applied. In Breakdown, changed the Safe Haven messaging for outposts. Adjusted task priorities to make the main watchtower staffed more often. Corrected an issue with a character having an invalid personality trait. Breakdown task adjustment to allow some additional interactions with facilities for the survivors at home. Breakdown periodic bonuses changed from 1 hour to 15 minutes, and the amounts cut to 25% (No change in totals, just smaller amounts more often.) Breakdown Recycling and Improved Recycling bonuses increased 10%. In Breakdown, adjusted the survivors that may appear at the daily reset slightly. Adjusted the messaging for completion of medkits. In Breakdown, for survivors eligible to have a random trait, there is now a chance that they will be assigned a random personality. Added a delay for processing of multiple characters with random traits/personalities, so that only one can be in progress at once. Removed one trait from two heroes to correct an issue with selecting available special abilities. In Breakdown, renamed two personality traits. In Breakdown, adjusted food (snacks) in CLEO drops to be less common, and increased medicine and military throwables (grenades, mines) to be more common. In Breakdown, added a small periodic morale drop. Changed the facility detection method to allow munitions shop research to continue at the Kirkman site if you built a second workshop. Adjusted some of the error messaging for facility actions for greater consistency. In Breakdown, adjusted effect of declined missions. In Breakdown, adjusted effect of fatecard fights, suicides, and murder. In Breakdown, renamed one backstory trait. In Breakdown, added two new locations where a car may spawn. There are now four, two of which will have a vehicle on every level. These include many vehicle types not normally found on the map. In Breakdown, corrected an issue with contagious illness. In Breakdown, when new npcs are brought home to join the community, they may occasionally bring a small amount of resources. In Breakdown, adjusted the dialogue in several scenes. In Breakdown, adjusted the Cardio experience gained from Melee and Unarmed attacks. In Breakdown, corrected an issue with Training/Dojo exercise programs and the extra Cardio bonus experience. In Breakdown, slightly reduced the bonus experience for gun and melee training actions. In Breakdown, corrected an issue where one possible way for a character to get sick did not adjust the mood. In Breakdown, adjusted several fatecards and reduced timers for exclusions. In Breakdown, prevent hurt and sick characters from being set to away. They should stay in the infirmary. Adjusted the tires on the black SUV. Corrected an issue with one of the hero's escort mission upon being unlocked. In Breakdown, Mercy Shot missions may now time out. In Breakdown, new members that join your group will take slightly longer to become friends. Enclaves that you have already built up trust with are unaffected. Corrected a potential issue with wanted items for the sanitation facility. In Lifeline, adjusted chemical incendiaries to also be available to be made with the surgery instead of only the medical lab. In Lifeline, corrected the description of two actions to correctly indicate what type of suppressors would be created. In Lifeline, slightly increased recovery chance for some conditions. In Lifeline, corrected an error making some objects not appear after creation at a workshop. Increased the damage values for steel pipe bombs to make them more effective than standard pipe bombs. In Breakdown only, added the ability to collect junk. Available at the command center, all the way to the right of the other options. These are free but quite weak. Increased the amount of time, and slightly reduced cost, of having a follower accompany you. In Breakdown, increased the amount of resources that carry over from level to level when you leave on the RV. Added a small chance of causing an injury when shooting at npcs, similar to the danger of running over them with a vehicle. In Lifeline, added a few additional grenades to supply drops.
so the last update was a few years back you said you were still planning on updating it if you dont mind me asking what else were you planning on adding or updating?
I submitted a longer answer, but local internet lost dns, and it disappeared, so here is a shorter one:
Lots of tuning/adjustments. Randomized personalities as well as the traits for most survivors.
Actually, looking at my work list, there are 950 items to do, check, or fix... so a short summary really isn't possible.
Some of them take forever to test, such as adjusting the character models so that each survivor is somewhat unique. But after that, going back and matching hair/eye color in the portraits will take forever as well.
Hope you can tune the Spawning debug NPC. I like them cause it adds more difficulty to my play through Survival. I'm still playing this time machine game until now.
No clue. You could reinstall, or do a file verification in Steam after installation to try to correct it, but the mod does not affect game sounds in any way.
so an update, its only some guns (the fireshotgun AK and revolver, a german pistol and an m16, and normal shotgun shells arent spawning, reinstalled the game and its fine till i install this mod, there are no other mods installed, you ever had this reported before?
Nope, never before. No sounds are changed in the mod.
Let's try some standard problem-solving issues here. First, did you start a new game after installation? Second, did you play standard story (at least until reaching church)? After that, look at the top sticky post, and look for "If you are experiencing issues with the mod:"
Can you upload a version that makes zombies deal more damage? I feel like the character buffs will make them too easy to deal with, and noticed individual zombies didn't seem as threatening. I'd do it myself but I have no idea how to edit BMD files.
No, for several reasons. Increasing damage is the same as reducing hit points in terms of survivability, but only for the player. NPCs don't gain the bonuses and would be injured or die far more often.
The increased character health is intended for higher levels... it may make early levels easier, but later levels would become far more difficult. There are some where there are almost no slow zombies, and many with greatly increased numbers of feral and juggernaught types, with very high numbers of infestations and hordes, and a much higher number of zombies in general.
Hello, does this MOD make changes to Lifeline too? I have YOSE edition, i dont know if its a bug or glitch, but almost all the time the soldiers in the base are tired at the same time, making upgrades difficult since it requires labor to do so. Regardless having the barracks. I was offline for a couple of hours and when i went to play the game, my character was still tired. Didnt recover any Stamina, the other soldiers too, still tired. Any help or a future patch would fix this? Thanks.
Thanks for the reply. Actually it was the MOD, i deleted the game, had a clean installation, i played for a while and this time, all of the soldiers were not tired, except the female i was playing with since it was normal all running and fighting around. I changed to Kilo, played a while while the other rested and after around 30 minutes or so the female recovered all stamina. So yeah i think it was the Mod, but for the base game nothing of that happenned, weird.
As I said... "Yes, it does." and "You are keeping everyone too busy. Actions cause some fatigue for a short time, so constant tasks without a break in between will cause that."
This mod is great ngl , i finished the story mode with this mod and it didnt crash at all but after i changed to breakdown it suddenly crash either when i played in the game for like 5-15 mins or crash when i was loading my save . I didnt install any other mods beside this mod i even reinstalled a couple of times but seems like it just wont work for breakdown idk why oh and of course my game is YOSE

Heck, Debug 1 unintentionally died and then his twin brother Debug 1 appeared later on.
For now I'm just pretending that's his specops codename or something lmao

Please share the current state of the mod through an update of this mod......
Almost every change remaining is complicated, and testing them takes at least two or three hours of gameplay each time something is adjusted.
Also, about not getting time for work, why don't you take the help of other modders from the State of Decay Modding community.....?????

You are keeping everyone too busy. Actions cause some fatigue for a short time, so constant tasks without a break in between will cause that.
I'm not sure how that could be made clearer.
in particular, check the steps related to Steam.
