Inventory Tetris

Inventory Tetris is a comprehensive inventory overhaul for Project Zomboid.

  • The inventory is replaced with a grid based system.
  • All items now have a size.
  • See inside all your equipped bags at once
  • Bags now provide additional inventory space, not just weight reduction.
  • Worn items do not take up inventory space.
  • No more shoving 3 boxes of cereal and a carton of milk in your pants.

[h1]TRAITS[/h1]
Inventory Tetris makes sure to give new uses to the vanilla traits related to the inventory!
[list]

[*] [b]Disorganized[/b] - When using quick move, items will not always stay stacked and will end up in a random spot in the grid. Cannot autosort (in the future when its added).
[*][b][i]Neither[/i][/b] - The container receiving the items will determine what happens.

[*] [b]Dextrous[/b] - Faster container searching.
[*] [b]All Thumbs[/b] - Slower container searching.

[h1]FAQ[/h1]
[h3]Why BETA?[/h3]
The mod is mostly complete and very stable, however, it still needs some polish here and there. Further, the mod was a huge undertaking and it will inevitably need some additional balancing and tweaks in response to player feedback.

[h3]Multiplayer Support?[/h3]
The mod works fine in multiplayer from my testing. As usual, report any bugs you encounter and I'll fix them ASAP.

[h3]Can I add/remove this on existing saves?[/h3]
Yes.
Inventory Tetris can added/removed at any point without issue.
(Note: When adding the mod the player may drop items to the ground if they do not have enough space.)

[h3]How do items from other mods works?[/h3]
Inventory Tetris automatically examines items from other mods and determines what size they should be.

[h2]Make My Own Changes?[/h2]
[i]Inventory Tetris includes some very easy to use dev tools that can be used to quickly create compatibility/balance packs to provide more fine tuned support for popular mods or fit your personal tastes.[/i]

[h2]I Can't Pickup Furniture![/h2]
Use your hands. They can only hold 1 item each, but it can be as big as you want.

[h2]Keyring!?[/h2]
Double click it.
