Mod «Practice Crafting Skills» for Project Zomboid
This mod adds practice recipes to train all crafting skills except cooking. Players use tools and materials to gain XP through three tiers of difficulty: Simple (level 0), Intermediate (level 2), and Advanced (level 4). Higher tiers provide more XP while generally requiring the same time and resources, encouraging characters to practice more difficult actions.
Supported skills include Knapping, Carving, Pottery, Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Electronics, Glassmaking, Masonry, Mechanics, Tailoring, and Welding. Some recipes consume resources, while others do not. Higher tiers may require different or additional resources and tools.
