Why take over the original mod?
Original mod author is busy with life since march 2022 so I took it up upon myself (with help of others) to fix and improve the mod. This is not an add-on mod, do not run this and original mod at same time.

Why this version is better?
First of all, it works in Multiplayer, courtesy of Ryougi Shiki. Second, I fixed few annoying things. Rotten food will not spawn fresh version of itself anymore. Book names are normal now, look mod pictures ("Scavenging Vol.5" instead of "Master Scavenging" or "Scavenging Vol.1" instead of "Scavenging for Beginners"). I also removed Sandbox settings for Scavenger Skill announcements and made them client-side instead of server-side via the help of Mod Options.

Scavenger Skill
Adds a new Passive Skill called Scavenging. As you loot containers and this skill gives you a chance to find more loot. The higher your skill, the bigger the chance, and the greater the loot amount. These extra loot chances are increased with lucky, and decreased with unlucky! Here are default values:

It's a bit overpowered, so we sadly had to remove the mod from our MP server.
One issue is that it procced pretty often, so we found e.g. six Fire Axes in a container.
The other issue is that the duplicated food is fresh, not stale or rotten like the other stuff.
LegnaX 22 Aug @ 6:37pm 
As https://steamproxy.net/id/WIILIME reported, using the RV Interiors mod duplicates the loot from containers indefinitely for fresh food, books, etc. Not compatible, sadly.
Thraxinius 25 Jun @ 7:33pm 
I am under the impression the spawning works like this:

When you approach a container for the first time it has a chance to spawn duplicate items of the items in that container according to your scavenging skill level. The way chunks are saved and loaded in Zomboid, compared to other mods like for example car mods added mid game, you must go to a new area to spawn new chunks. So if the logic is the same, the extra items gained will only ever trigger on new chunks/new containers.

as some people asked i have some questions, does this skill run for each player who opens a container or only once per container and does the skill reset if the container spawned more loot?
Anxiety 20 Mar @ 12:38pm 
Does Scavenging work only once per container or is it tied to the vanilla loot respawn time? Also, does each player get a separate roll for a given container, or does the first player's attempt prevent other players from scavenging?
WIILIME 11 Mar @ 6:30am 
may or may not have found a bug, I'm not sure of what's exactly causing it but there's a conflict between this mod and the RV Interiors mod
to put it bluntly, when searching containers in a vehicle's interior, player can scavenge multiple times from the same container and pretty much duplicate some of their pre-existing loot in said containers, sorry if I explained that badly lol
like I said, not sure of the root cause but I just wonder if anyone else has experienced this / if it can be resolved at all, thanks for your time and thanks for the epic mod!!
あきとそうま 4 Feb @ 12:29pm 
just realized after a while using this mod that the ScavengerSkillMain.lua got the wrong bonus loot for level 10 hence why at lower level it gave more loot than level 10 cause level 10 bonus loot is bonus level 0(unless i'm reading the lua file wrongly)if it was intended sorry for this

Ciao! @MusicManiac.
I translated your mod (or the development of this mod, or whatever you did xD) into Italian, thanks for your work and for sharing it with the community!
