Sleep with Friends

Streamline Your Multiplayer Rest with Sleep with Friends

Tired of lengthy nights spent waiting for your character to fully recover in Project Zomboid’s multiplayer? The “Sleep with Friends” mod offers a revolutionary solution, drastically cutting down sleep times and ensuring you’re ready for action much faster. Say goodbye to server-wide bedtimes and hello to efficient rest.

Enhanced Multiplayer Rest Mechanics

This mod is specifically designed to improve the sleeping experience when playing with others. It tackles the issue of excessively long sleep durations that can disrupt gameplay flow. With “Sleep with Friends,” you can achieve a full night’s rest in a fraction of the time, allowing for more dynamic and less interrupted sessions.

Configurable Sleep Settings

“Sleep with Friends” puts control directly into your hands. The mod introduces a dedicated settings tab, also accessible via the in-game admin menu, allowing for granular adjustments. These settings now feature normalized data types for smoother operation.

Key configurable options include:

• Real-Time Minutes or In-Game Hours: Choose how sleep duration is measured.
• Sleep Length: Adjust the required in-game time for full fatigue recovery. Setting this to zero enables instant sleep.
• Endurance Multiplier: Control how much faster endurance recovers compared to fatigue while sleeping.
• Auto-Wake Toggle: Enable or disable the automatic wake-up feature, allowing players to choose to sleep longer if desired.
• Bed Quality Multipliers: Fine-tune how different bed qualities impact stat recovery, from the floor to premium bedding.

Understanding Bed Quality

The quality of your sleeping arrangement now plays a significant role. Modifiers are applied based on where and how you sleep. A makeshift bed on the floor will yield different results than a comfortable mattress, and the presence of a pillow can further enhance recovery rates. These multipliers allow for a more immersive and strategic approach to rest.

Important Installation Notes

To ensure “Sleep with Friends” functions correctly, you’ll need to add its settings to your `SandboxVars.lua` file and include the correct Mod ID and Workshop ID in your server configuration. The mod operates by recording your stats at the start of sleep, applying a formula to adjust them based on your chosen settings, and then reapplying them after a short in-game period. Note that time will still fast-forward if you are the sole player online or if all players are sleeping simultaneously.
