VHS Collector’s Rack

Project Zomboid: Showcase Your VHS Collection with the Collector’s Rack

For the dedicated survivor in Project Zomboid, every item found tells a story and represents a small victory in a world overrun. Among the most nostalgic finds are the pre-apocalypse VHS tapes, offering a glimpse into a lost era. Now, with the VHS Collector’s Rack mod, you can not only preserve these precious relics but also proudly display the fruits of your scavenging efforts.

Build and Display Your Dream Rental Shelf

This meticulously crafted mod allows you to construct your very own video-rental-style shelf, a perfect addition to any survivor’s meticulously organized safehouse. Requiring Carpentry level 3, the rack is built directly from the in-game building menu. Its lore-friendly, two-sided design features four-directional artwork, ensuring it looks fantastic from any angle. More than just a decoration, the rack functions as a storage container, allowing you to deposit and retrieve your collected VHS tapes just like any other furniture piece.

Watch Your Collection Grow

The true magic of the VHS Collector’s Rack lies in its dynamic visual feedback. The shelf itself evolves as you acquire more tapes, progressing through six distinct fullness states. From an empty frame to a wall brimming with cinematic treasures, you can easily gauge your collecting progress at a glance, even from across the room, without needing to interact with the container itself.

Key Features of the VHS Collector’s Rack:

• Build and Display: Construct a lore-friendly, multi-directional VHS rack requiring Carpentry 3.
• Dynamic Visuals: The rack visually fills up, showcasing your collection’s progress across six distinct states.
• Comprehensive Cataloging: Tracks 155 retail titles, including 90 series episodes and 65 movies.
• Hidden Titles: Tapes you haven’t yet found remain hidden as “???” until discovered.
• Seamless Integration: Tapes persist through saves and loads, and the rack functions identically in both single-player and multiplayer.
• Lore-Friendly Functionality: The rack must be emptied before it can be picked up, and both halves of the 1×2 rack behave as a single unit.

This mod expertly tracks base game retail VHS tapes. While tapes added by other mods can be stored, they will not be part of the collector’s catalog. Immerse yourself in the world of Project Zomboid and turn your salvaged VHS tapes into a tangible testament to your survival and scavenging prowess.
