This is funny because after instaling this mod I can't find any pan :)
Not a single pan in the whole community buildings xD

yeah its a good mod, it's creative :)
i once saw a youtuber also make a mold (using playdoh/plasticine) and he melted some lead (i think) or cheap cutlery (tin) and made knuckle dusters :)

Hi all, I've been away from Steam for a long time due to real life, but surprised to hear that this silly little mod still works even after all the update since 2019. If I get back to PZ, I may add other recipes to create nails.

@Gas.Pimienta, go ahead!

does this work still in b41?

i see what you mean, lead will melt with not that much heat, but the mod is still useful :)

this is unrealistic, cant melt steel utensils over a fire lol

i second that idea for scrap metal this is a great mod : ) added to favs
MrVlask 27 Sep, 2020 @ 9:03am 
could you add scrap metal to the list? so we can take the junked scrap metal thats unusable and turn it into nails.

This mod doesn't work anymore in the current stable build 40. I tested it in a server with only the CastNails mod, and I can't put utensils in a frying pan. Both the frying pan and four identical utensils were in my main inventory.

А жареных гвоздей не хочешь?

Yeah I'm trying not to get this mod too complicated. I added needle recipe since it still deals with nails but to be honest I don't think I'll be adding much into this anymore. Thanks for using this mod though!

Actually never mind that, it's getting away from your "Cast Nails" scope anyway and I'll figure out how to mod it myself, thanks for the update :)
Flesh Forge 27 Jan, 2019 @ 12:36am 
Hey while you're at it, a prison shank type recipe requiring nail + soap (and maybe some alternates) would be super great. Stat wise it could be a butterknife.
dksyunsik  [author] 26 Jan, 2019 @ 8:09pm 
Okay updated it with the recipe to create a needle with one nail and a hammer. You should be able to find it under general crafting menu under "Craft Makeshift Needle". It says "makeshift" but it is still the same needle!
Flesh Forge 26 Jan, 2019 @ 7:30pm 
That seems totally fine, 1 nail = 1 needle. Obviously you wouldn't be real excited to get stitched up with a thick ass needle like that but if your other option is to leave a giant unsightly red puddle and then die I think you'd be willing to work with it

Almost 900 subscribers? Didn't expect this simple mod to get that many haha. Thanks everyone!

I've been out of Project Zomboid scene for a bit but I can confirm this mod still works, at least in my relatively unmodded game.

@Awesomeexplorer @Flesh Forge I can indeed add recipes needles and/or suture needles when I have time, but if I do add them, it will be using just nails and hammer. Kind of like using the hammer to break up the head of the nail to use it as a needle. That way you can take one nail to make one needle, not using mold to make like 10 needles (I don't see the need to make that many needles in a playthrough). I like to keep things as simple as possible.

I typically use the wooden dowels mod, but when I saw I could use the useless utensils, I couldn't resist. I also like Flesh Forge's reccomendation. It shouldn't be to hard, just add a mold for needles like you did nails. (btw, it should only produce needles and not suture needles, as needles can still be used for stitching wounds alongside things like matresses, but isn't as good for stitching wounds.)
Flesh Forge 22 Jan, 2019 @ 1:49am 
Good mod, you might want to also add recipes for needles/suture needles, it's in the same ballpark of realism:

@ Rivery The same way the Dead Walk.
Rivery Jerald 27 Nov, 2018 @ 11:40am 
ok how can a pan and nails + heat equal nails?
NeroCloud 7 Oct, 2018 @ 7:38pm 
Does this still work

Haven't played PZ so much this days :steamsad:
dksyunsik  [author] 5 Jun, 2018 @ 9:29pm 
Glad you like it! Everything working smoothly?
ne_propheta 1 Jun, 2018 @ 3:16pm 
You can also try the SoulFlicher's Blacksmith mod :steamhappy:
This mod is lighter and easier to use, tho. Good work!
