What is this MOD?
Created by ocbMaurice, this MOD adds a block that handles automatic repairs for your base. Every time a Horde Night (raid night) ends, going around and inspecting every wall and floor the zombies smashed—then repairing them one by one—is a quietly tedious chore. This MOD appears to be aimed at taking that “cleanup” off your hands.
The repair block is based on a storage chest, and the idea is that you stock it with repair materials in advance. The block randomly checks the building blocks around it, and if one is damaged and the chest holds the required materials, it begins repairing. A repair sound plays while it works, and the process takes a certain amount of time.
Key Features
- Land Claim (Claim) integration: Only building blocks within your own claim (i.e., the range where you can pick up items) seem to be eligible for repair. So there’s little worry about accidentally fixing someone else’s base.
- Material-consuming: Since it uses the repair materials you put in the chest to make repairs, it’s a realistic design that requires inventory management rather than unlimited repairs.
- Repair interruption behavior: If a block takes damage again in the middle of being repaired, that repair is canceled. The idea is closer to it working after the fighting has settled down, rather than during the raid itself.
- Undead Legacy support: It works with UL environments as-is, with no additional patch required. However, it needs to load after UL’s main MOD, and the recommended method is to rename the folder to something like
ZClaimAutoRepairso it loads later in the order.
Installation Tips
- You need to turn EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) off. Since this affects the behavior of both the server and the client, it’s a good idea to confirm this before installing.
- It’s said to support Linux servers and installation via Vortex Mod Manager as well.
- It’s intended to work in multiplayer too, but since the author themselves states they “haven’t been able to test it very thoroughly,” it’s safest to first check its behavior in a local or small-group environment.
- Because it’s based on a chest, it won’t function if you forget to restock repair materials. The trick is to keep from running out of materials for the building blocks that tend to break most often at your base, such as wood and iron.
Who is it recommended for?
- People who find it tedious to walk around their base repairing it after every Horde Night
- People who run a serious block-based defensive base and want to make patching up damaged sections more efficient
- People playing Undead Legacy who are looking for QOL (quality-of-life) support MODs
Conversely, it isn’t suited for servers that can’t or won’t turn EAC off, or for people who want to play in a fully vanilla official environment. It’s best described as a utility for players who want to “reduce the hassle of cleanup on their own (or their friends’) local or dedicated server.”
