Boiling Eggs [B42]

Diversify Your Diet with Boiling Eggs in Project Zomboid

The apocalypse may have decimated the world, but it doesn’t mean your culinary options have to suffer. For Project Zomboid survivors who find themselves with an abundance of eggs and a craving for variety, a new mod introduces a much-needed cooking mechanic: boiled eggs. Move beyond the limitations of the standard “baked” egg and unlock new ways to utilize this readily available protein source.

Why Boil Your Eggs?

If you’ve managed to survive the initial chaos and are now grappling with the aftermath, you might find yourself with a surplus of eggs. This mod caters to those looking to make the most of their findings. Tired of the same repetitive meals? This modification offers a simple yet effective solution by integrating two essential egg preparations: poached and boiled. These additions not only expand your menu but also provide a consistent source of protein, crucial for maintaining your character’s strength and overall well-being, preventing meal fatigue and keeping morale up.

Key Features of the Boiling Eggs Mod

This mod seamlessly integrates into Project Zomboid’s existing systems, offering a realistic and convenient cooking experience.

• **Context Menu Cooking:** Prepare boiled eggs directly through the item’s context menu, similar to how you might sterilize bandages, by using boiling water.
• **Crafting Menu Integration:** Alternatively, utilize the crafting menu to boil eggs, provided you are near a source of hot water.
• **Efficient Water Usage:** The mod is designed with minimal water consumption in mind for each cooking action, ensuring you won’t drain your water reserves unnecessarily.

Compatibility and Versions

Designed for Project Zomboid’s Build 42, this mod boasts excellent compatibility. It utilizes existing in-game egg items and only introduces new recipes, meaning it should integrate smoothly with most other modifications. The mod package includes two distinct versions to suit different playstyles.

• **Main Version (Ivmakk_BoilingEggs):** This version requires hot or boiling water, offering a more realistic cooking experience. It is recommended for single-player survival.
• **Simplified MP Version (Ivmakk_BoilingEggs_B42MP):** For those seeking a less restrictive option, this version allows you to boil eggs with cold water, removing the heat requirement. It’s ideal for multiplayer servers where convenience might be prioritized.

Choose the version that best fits your survival strategy and bring a new dimension to your Project Zomboid kitchen.
