Bring the Convenience of Mail Order to Project Zomboid

In the bleak world of Project Zomboid, staying supplied is paramount. Now, a new mod introduces a semi-functional mail order system that leverages the era-appropriate technology of computers to bring a unique QoL improvement to your survival efforts. Forget scavenging for every last can of beans; with Mail Order Catalogs, you can order supplies directly to your doorstep, provided you can navigate the early internet and find the right connections.

Discovering and Ordering

This mod injects a text-based internet experience into Project Zomboid. Initially, you’ll need to guess website URLs to find online vendors. As you explore the world, you can discover physical catalogs. Finding these catalogs is key, as they will unlock specific websites within your computer’s quick access list, complete with visual representations of the items available. These catalog images will even show your character matching with specific item IDs found within the game, offering a satisfying connection between the digital and the physical.

Catalog Functionality

To utilize the quick access panel and view item images, you must have the physical catalog in your inventory. Beyond their ordering capabilities, these catalogs serve as a form of entertainment, providing a way to reduce stress and boredom, essential for maintaining your character’s mental well-being. The mod introduces new delivery locations found in post offices, expanding your options for receiving your much-needed supplies.

Key Features of Mail Order Catalogs:

  • Semi-functional computers for browsing and ordering.
  • Unlockable websites through the discovery of in-game catalogs.
  • Catalog items are visually represented to match in-game items.
  • Catalogs provide an entertainment source for stress and boredom reduction.
  • New delivery locations integrated into post offices.

Mod Development and Future Plans

Mail Order Catalogs is actively under development, with plans to introduce more websites, including those for furniture. Future updates also aim to enhance the delivery system, potentially adding vehicle delivery and unique models for delivery boxes. The mod is designed with compatibility in mind, making an effort to touch as little base game code as possible. Modders will find an API and example mods available on GitHub for expanding the system further.
