Mod «Working Knowledge - Lootable Skill Documents» for Project Zomboid

Working Knowledge adds 372 lootable workplace documents to Project Zomboid, including SOPs, reference cards, field guides, and training manuals. These items are found in contextually appropriate containers throughout Knox County. Reading a document grants your character a small amount of practical experience in the relevant skill. Each document can only be read once.

Where to find them:

• Documents appear rarely in generic filing cabinets and office desks.
• Dedicated profession containers—such as police filing cabinets, fire station storage, gun store counters, welding shops, and farm tool cabinets—offer higher find rates and more relevant material for targeted searching.

Configuration: Two options are available under Working Knowledge in the Sandbox settings.

• Document Spawn Rate: Controls how often documents appear in loot containers. Ranges from Very Rare (0.25×) to Abundant (4×); default is Normal. Note that loot is generated when a container is first opened, so changing this setting mid-save only affects areas you haven't visited yet.
• XP Grant: The flat amount of XP awarded when a document is read for the first time. Default is 50. Set to 0 to disable XP entirely while keeping documents as collectibles.

Localized in English, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, and French. Multiplayer-compatible. Build 42 only.
