Fitted Barricades

Project Zomboid: Enhance Your Fortifications with Fitted Barricades

Tired of barricades that leave gaping holes in your defenses? The Fitted Barricades mod for Project Zomboid revolutionizes how you secure windows and doors, ensuring a snug fit for every opening. Say goodbye to generic plank arrangements and embrace a more immersive and effective fortification system.

How Fitted Barricades Work

This mod seamlessly integrates with Project Zomboid’s existing mechanics. When you choose to barricade a window or door, the game now intelligently assesses the size of the opening. Larger windows, such as those found in shops, diners, or tall house interiors, will naturally require more materials to fully cover. Similarly, doors and larger glass panels will receive a proportionate number of planks, metal sheets, or bars. The planks are still spaced consistently, but the overall coverage is now complete, filling the entire aperture from the center outwards.

The beauty of this system lies in its simplicity and balance. Removing a barricade crafted with this mod will return all the materials used, just as in the vanilla game. Furthermore, the mod utilizes the game’s own barricade objects, meaning no new save data is written, ensuring compatibility and safety for your existing saves.

Key Features of Fitted Barricades

* **Proportionate Coverage:** Barricades now perfectly fit the size of the window or door they are applied to.
* **Increased Material Requirements:** Larger openings necessitate more planks, sheets, or bars, reflecting a more realistic fortification effort.
* **Full Opening Seal:** Enjoy complete coverage, eliminating potential weak points in your defenses.
* **Resourceful Material Return:** All used materials are returned upon removal.
* **Vanilla Integration:** Utilizes existing game objects for seamless gameplay and save compatibility.

Balancing Your Defenses

Fitted Barricades maintains the balance of Project Zomboid. Each plank, sheet, or bar retains its original health value. While a larger barricade might require more nails and planks, its increased toughness directly correlates to the number of zombies it can withstand. The breaking of barricades still occurs plank by plank, and the line of sight blockage remains consistent with the vanilla game.

Multiplayer and Compatibility

This mod is designed to work flawlessly in multiplayer environments, as the added barricade components sync like any other in-game object. It is compatible with Build 42 and safe to add to existing saves. As the game loads areas with existing barricades, they will automatically refit to the new system. Removing the mod is also safe, leaving your fortifications intact and functional.
