WARNING: THIS MOD IS UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. NON-ESSENTIAL UPDATES WILL BE ON SATURDAYS. If you use this mod in an existing game, you might have some of your containers that you have already looted spawn "Extra" loot. This is not an issue with new games.

41.66 and 41.67 have broken some parts of this mod in multiplayer. If you succeed at scavenging, you have to move items to the ground first before picking them up or they will vanish. This is an issue with Zomboid and its new half baked "Anti-Cheat".

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!
