## Overview

In-game **map** items can be found and read to expand your world map to
include areas that the player has not yet visited. These areas show up as a
darker area on the world map, while explored areas show up brightly. These map
items can also be annotated in the same way the world map can be. A player can
use this to share information with other players in the multiplayer.

## Towns

Currently, there are individual map items for March Ridge, Muldraugh, West
Point, Rosewood, Riverside, and Louisville. However, Louisville's map is
divided into nine separate maps, each showing a separate part of the city. Map
items can be found in containers at gas stations, inside of car glove boxes,
and on zombie corpses.

As of build 41.78.16, Valley Station, Doe Valley, and Fallas Lake do not have
maps that can be found. This will likely be changed in a future update.

## Annotated maps

### Overview

A special **Annotated Map** item can be found as loot on corpses as well as in
glove boxes of vehicles. Annotated maps are similar to the standard maps,
except for the fact that they have annotations including notes and symbols
already written on them. These annotations can be as minor as a point of
interest, up to detailed notes and symbols describing what you will find at
that location. Most annotated maps will lead to a loot cache of some kind.

Not all, but many of these maps will cause additional loot to spawn at the
location[1]. Be it a hidden stash, duffle bag, or additional items in the
existing kitchen and bathroom containers[2]. The items that spawn in the
kitchens/bathrooms are dependent on the map and its annotations. If the map
leads to a building without a bathroom or kitchen, often there are no
additional spawns: unless a duffle bag spawns.

For those locations of which do not cause additional loot to spawn, they
instead have the loot there by default, though this may only occur when the
annotated maps begin to spawn (default: 30 days). Some locations, such as the
Knox Military Apartments seem to spawn with all their loot day one.

Currently, it is not possible to determine which location an annotated map
belongs to before reading it.

It is possible to spawn these maps by using the _Stash Debug UI_ window from
the _Stash debuggers_ button in the _Dev_ section of the _DEBUG MENU_ in the
debug mode.

### List of annotated maps

Each of the maps feature certain loot in predefined locations, below is the
list of these maps.

![You won't beat Spiffo in a race…](/w/images/9/9f/DrivingSpiffo.png)

**Mechanics** is a crafting skill allowing the player to repair and modify
various parts of vehicles.

## Overview

The **Mechanics** skill is used to uninstall and reinstall vehicle parts.
Skill can be gained by _both_ succeeding and failing to repair various parts
in the mechanics menu of a vehicle. In order to access this menu, walk up to
the hood of any vehicle and press `E`. As their skill level increases, the
player can swap out and repair more parts without the possibility of failing
and damaging them in the process. Some parts are not repairable, and can only
be swapped out with higher condition ones. Most parts also require certain
tools in order to remove them.

## Character creation options

During character creation, choosing an occupation and traits will not only
provide the player with some skill levels in Mechanics, but it will also give
an experience boost to that skill depending on the starting level. This bonus
cannot be gained after the character is created, making this an important step
in maximizing skill point gain.
**Starting Skill Level and Experience Boost**

    Level 0 — 25% (default for all skills)
    Level 1 — +75% (100%)
    Level 2 — +100% (125%)
    Level 3+ — +125% (150%)

#### Occupations

Name  | Starting points  | Major skills  | Description
---|---|---|---
![Profession mechanic.png](/w/images/7/70/Profession_mechanic.png) Mechanic | -4  | +3 Mechanics  | Familiar with the maintenance and repair of all vehicle models on the roads of Kentucky.

#### Traits

Name  | Cost  | Description  | Notes
---|---|---|---
![Amateur Mechanic](/w/images/2/24/Trait_mechanics.png) Amateur Mechanic | -5  | +1 Mechanics  | Has a detailed knowledge of common and commercial vehicle models, and repairs.

## Required tools and materials

Almost all parts require a specific tool in order to be uninstalled from or
installed onto a vehicle. Some parts can also be repaired using certain
materials.

## Gaining skill

### Recipe magazines

In order to work on any vehicles at all, the player must first read the recipe
magazine that corresponds to the vehicle type. There are three of them.

  * ![MagazineMechanic1.png](/w/images/b/b6/MagazineMechanic1.png) Laines Auto Manual \- allows the player to work on _standard_ vehicles.
  * ![MagazineMechanic2.png](/w/images/7/7a/MagazineMechanic2.png) Laines Auto Manual \- allows the player to work on _heavy-duty_ vehicles.
  * ![MagazineMechanic3.png](/w/images/0/0a/MagazineMechanic3.png) Laines Auto Manual \- allows the player to work on _sport_ vehicles.

If the player picked _Mechanic_ as their occupation, this step can be skipped.
If they picked the _Amateur Mechanic_ trait, they will still need to read the
sport magazine, but not the other two.

### Skill books

To maximize XP gain, it is highly recommended to read the Mechanics skill
books first. They can be mainly found in book shops, libraries, and schools,
though houses might also have a few.

  * ![Book11.png](/w/images/9/9e/Book11.png) Mechanics vol. 1 (Levels 1-2)
  * ![Book11.png](/w/images/9/9e/Book11.png) Mechanics vol. 2 (Levels 3-4)
  * ![Book11.png](/w/images/9/9e/Book11.png) Mechanics vol. 3 (Levels 5-6)
  * ![Book11.png](/w/images/9/9e/Book11.png) Mechanics vol. 4 (Levels 7-8)
  * ![Book11.png](/w/images/9/9e/Book11.png) Mechanics vol. 5 (Levels 9-10)

### Scrapping unwanted vehicles

The best way to level the Mechanics skill at lower skill levels is to find a
sacrificial vehicle to train on. It is highly recommended to work on junk
vehicles first, as the player's lack of initial skill will often result in
severely damaging most of the vehicle's parts in the process of training their
skills. Wrecking yards are great places to find junk vehicles to work on.

To begin working on a vehicle, simply walk up to the hood and press `E` to
open the mechanics menu. (Shown below)

![VehicleMechanics.png](/w/images/b/b7/VehicleMechanics.png)

The player can click on each part in order to get more detailed information
about it, which is displayed in the top right corner of the menu. They can
also right click to install or uninstall parts, as long as they have the
correct tool(s). While most parts require a certain level in Mechanics to be
removed safely, the player can still attempt to remove them at lower skill
levels with a chance to succeed and a chance to fail. Failing always give
0.25XP. The amount of XP gained for succeeding in installing or uninstalling a
part corresponds to the difficulty. The higher the level required or the lower
the chance to succeed, the higher the XP. However reinstalling parts has a
cooldown. Parts that don't require any mechanics level will give the same XP
as failing to remove a part that does. Failing to remove a part does not
remove the XP gain for successfully removing it after numerous tries.

XP can only be gained by removing, installing and repairing the same part on
the same vehicle, once every 24 hours. For example, if the player removes and
reinstalls a radio on a vehicle, they won't gain any more XP from doing that
on the same vehicle for 24 hours. This essentially means that the best way to
level up Mechanics is to have multiple sacrificial training vehicles based on
much time the player wants to dedicate to increasing their mechanics skill,
and then strip them of all parts and reattach them once each day. Failing
always gives XP, but less than succeeding.

## Maintaining vehicles

### Installing, replacing, and repairing parts

Once the player has trained their skills on junk vehicles enough to work on a
vehicle that they want to use, they can open the mechanics menu to swap out
and repair parts as needed. In order to install a part, it must be in the
player's main inventory, (not a bag) in an accessible container nearby, or on
the floor.

Some parts can also be repaired, and some will also require the player to
remove them from the vehicle first before they can be repaired. Some parts are
not repairable and can only be obtained by looting mechanic shops or salvaging
them from other vehicles.

**Shown below is a table that represents the requirements for repairing and
replacing vehicle parts.** If there are multiple ways to repair a part, each
one is written as method a), b), c) and so on. Each item is required from each
marking. For example, everything beginning with "a)" is required for method
"a)".

Note that heaters are not repairable or swappable. However, the condition of
the heater does not affect the effectiveness of the A/C and heat. Radios can
be swapped with any household radio from another vehicle or from inside a
building.

### Wear and tear

**Certain parts are prone to wear and tear with regular use, and their
condition will decrease over time.** Tire pressure will also need to be
maintained through the use of a Tire Pump. Tires, Suspension and Mufflers will
gradually degrade over time as the vehicle is used. A random chance of damage
will occur when the vehicle is moving more than 10MPH. Other factors
considered are: current speed, whether the vehicle is on or off road, the
vehicles off road efficiency, steering angle or pitch, and how long the
vehicle has been running.

## Part classes and types

Each vehicle part will have a class of vehicle that it belongs to. For
example, a _sport_ class battery or a _heavy-duty_ class window. Different
classes of parts cannot be mixed.

Most parts also have different types in addition to the vehicle classes.
(Standard, Heavy-Duty, Sport). Part types can be mixed, although it is often
not recommended to do so. Further information on part types can be found in
the article dedicated to each individual vehicle part.

Below is a table that depicts the various types of vehicle parts.

## Salvaging and repairing engines

### Salvaging parts and repairing engines

Engines can be salvaged for Spare Engine Parts
![EngineParts.png](/w/images/d/dd/EngineParts.png) that can be used to repair
the engines of other vehicles. Engines can be salvaged and repaired at
Mechanics level 4/5/6 for standard/heavy-duty/sport vehicles respectively.
Note that salvaging an engine for parts will **always** set the engine's
condition to zero, no matter what the engine's previous condition was, how
many parts were salvaged, and even if no parts were salvaged.

Engines can be repaired with Spare Engine Parts to restore the condition of
the engine, however engine _quality_ , which is determined as the vehicle
spawns in, cannot be raised by any means. This means that while the engine's
_condition_ may be at 100%, the quality could make it not start as reliably as
expected. When clicking on an engine in the mechanics menu, the quality is
listed on the top right, separate from the condition. Detailed information on
engine quality can be found in the next section.

Note that all the Spare Engine Parts in the player's inventory will be used
when repairing an engine. There is no way to prevent this.

It is more efficient to repair an engine at higher skill levels than lower
skill levels. Below is a table that depicts the average gain per engine part
at each Mechanics level. Further information can be found in the article
dedicated to Spare Engine Parts.

**Mechanics Level** | Standard | Heavy-Duty | Sport
---|---|---|---
**4** | 1% | **n/a** | **n/a**
**5** | 1% | 1% | **n/a**
**6** | 2% | 1% | 1%
**7** | 2% | 2% | 1%
**8** | 3% | 2% | 2%
**9** | 3% | 3% | 2%
**10** | 4% | 3% | 3%

### Engine quality

  * Engine quality, not to be confused with engine condition, mainly affects the chance to start the engine and its power. Maximum is 100.
  * Emergency vehicles (ambulance, fire, police) usually have 90-100 engine quality.
  * Chance to fail to start the engine on each try is 30 / (quality + 50) * 100%; for example, 65 quality engine has 30 / (65 + 50) * 100% = 26% chance to fail to start.
  * Engines with 100 quality skip the aforementioned check, but still have a 1% chance to fail to start.
  * Engines with quality 65 or less, if the weather is too cold, are also more likely to fail to start.

Mechanics


**Communications** items include radios, ham radios, walkie talkies, and
televisions. These items can be used to watch or listen to in game
communications, and communicate with other players in multiplayer.

Each tier of walkie talkie and ham radio have different frequencies and ranges
they can operate on, while radios and televisions can all view/listen to the
same channels regardless of the tier. Some televisions are unable to play VHS
tapes.

Finally you’ll be able to wander around the countryside trying to shoot
rabbits with a shotgun.

— Will Porter[1]

**Animals** play a minor role in Project Zomboid, currently only appearing as
items rather than roaming throughout the landscape, though it's planned to
change in Build 42. There are various types of animals - including game, fish
and insects \- and each has their own methods of obtaining them.

## Items

### Insect

Insects are obtained by foraging (and rarely by looting refrigerators or
vehicles); worms can also often be dug from grass tiles using a trowel.

Baits marked with a star can be used for fishing, but do not lure any fish
currently in the game and as such are not recommended.

## Future features

**Animals** with their own AI that wander the landscape are planned to be
included in build 42. The first iteration of animals won't be utilising
Lemmy's AI code, and will instead have very basic functionality. These animals
are intended to support the new crafting features coming in build 42,
therefore will mostly only include animals utilised in animal husbandry, such
as cows, sheep, pigs and chickens, providing a renewable source of milk, hide,
wool, etc.

Animal_Info_AngusCow.png)

Angus Cow debug info panel showing some statistics.

### Functionality

In Project Zomboid lore, the noise caused by animals will attract zombies,
however they won't be driven to attack them.

Each animal type will have various definitions:

  * **Livestock:** determines the type of animal, e.g. cow.
  * **Breed:** there will be various breeds of animals, each breed with its unique properties, e.g. "Angus" (meat breed) or "Holstein" (milk breed).
  * **Gender:** male or female, determines its set of functionlity, e.g. breeding, milking, etc.
  * **Age:** determines various functions, e.g. ability to breed (too young or too old) and amount of milk produced. Will eventually die when too old.
  * **Size:** the minimum and maximum size an animal can be. Larger animals will provide more resources.
  * **Can be milked:** some animals can be milked, e.g. cow. Will generate milk for a certain period after delivering a calf.
  * **Flee humans:** determines if the animal runs away from humans, e.g. mouse.
  * **Can be attached:** a rope can be used to attach certain animals so they can be led or stop from wandering away.
  * **Hunger:** animals will need to eat, with the amount dependant on the breed. An animal left hungry or thirsty will gradually lose health until it dies. Will eat from a trough.
  * **Food types:** determines the types of food it can eat from a trough. Some animals can graze on grass if trough is empty, however won't grow as big.
  * **Enclosure size:** enclosure must be a minimum size, otherwise the animal won't grow as big, providing fewer resources.

#### Animal breeding

All animals will have a _genetics_ system, encouraging breeding of animals.
Each animal type will have a set of abstracted genes that each contain two
_alleles_ inherited from parents, including: “milk quantity”, “life
expectancy”, “strength”, “appearance” genes, and more. Characters with
appropriate skills will be able to inspect an animal to get an idea of its
health-related attributes (aka genes).

Each animal will carry two sets of alleles in their genome, one being
contributed randomly from each parent. There are dominant and recessive
alleles, meaning the player must be careful when in-breeding, as animals may
have recessive genes for genetic illnesses of varying types.

### Planned animals

  * Cow and Bull[2] (source of milk, hide, steak)
  * Sheep[3] (source of wool, mutton chop and milk)[4]
  * Pig[5] (source of pork chop and bacon)
  * Chicken (source of chicken and lays eggs in a henhouse)
  * Deer
  * American Black Bear[6]
  * Birds (source of small bird meat)
  * Rabbit[7] (source of rabbit meat)
  * Red Bear
  * Squirrel (source of rodent meat)
  * Mouse (source of rodent meat)
  * Rat[8] (source of rodent meat)
  * Elk
  * Raccoon[9]
  * Turkey[10]

## Trivia

  * The conspiracy crap??? mentions that the military was doing tests on the animals in Muldraugh and caused mass deaths of cattle. Also in one of the LBMW broadcasts on the night of the 11th of July, it mentions this here:

    All eyes are on developments in a sleepy corner of Kentucky...
    ...now a no-go zone ring-fenced by the US Army
    Once we'd report from Muldraugh and West Point about county fairs and sick pets...
    ... now times have changed significantly.

  * Animals cannot be infected by Knox Infection as it only infects humans. Zombie will not attack animals, they will just be attracted by their noises and most animals will run away when they get close, this has been confirmed by The Indie Stone on several occasions.[11]
