Darkness Falls 4.04  

This is a mod I originally created to fix a few "issues" myself, my wife and some friends felt the game had. Turns out I really enjoy modding so I've expanded on it quite a bit. The intent is to drag out the early game, so it will take you longer than usual to get to Iron and Steel. As I started playing in Alpha 8,  I wanted to try and bring back a few things from that era. Sharp rocks and sticks are pretty good examples of that, and I want to try and incorporate more features from that era of gameplay. 

The behemoth, originally unveiled in A16 and then scrapped is alive and well in this mod, along with some extra friends. Expect to see new zombies, new horrors and don't anticipate an easy ride. A mostly comprehensive list of features can be found below.

• 8 Classes to choose from, with 6 quests each!
• 60 slot backpack! 12 slot crafting queue!
• Custom UI! Food/Water bars next to the hotbar.
• Increased zombie spawn/respawn rate!
• Night time is now dangerous. The ferals come out to play...
• Zombie Behemoth (male and female) added!

• Titanium added! Can be found as trophies, underground and above ground. Used to make tools, weapons and blocks.
• Forge Ahead & Leather Tanning books are back! (can also be purchased as perks)
• Wrench is now a perk and a schematic, but crafted and repaired with Iron.
• All common books added as perks, so you have the choice of finding the book or spending points.
• Action skills are back!
• Skill books added for all 100 level skills.
• Generic skill point book added so you have ways to get skill points.

• More food! Way too much to list, but bread is now an option. So are sunday roast dinners. YUM!

• Tree sap is now a thing! Try left-clicking on non-dead trees with jars or bowls...
• Sterile Bandage! New healing item to fill the void between normal Bandages and First Aid Bandages.
• Working sinks and ovens! Both types craftable, so pick whichever matches your kitchen.
• 5 new workstations. The Advanced Forge (required to smelt steel, but no fuel needed!), the Mortar and Pestle and two workbenches! There is also the rare, loot-only, Lathe!

• Junction box added for invisible wires. Unlocked via electricity perk.
• Bomber zombies added! These buggers are designed to tear your base to bits. You have been warned!
• 7 Day hordes re-done (less game stages so difficulty should ramp up faster and ferals appear sooner).

• Grass spawns reduced for better performance/easier to see things.
• Traders now have more basic materials for building.
• Localization HEAVILY edited to show where items are crafted, including if they can be made in multiple workstations (one will have a reduced resource cost) and what tools may be needed.
