Metalworking Guide
Metalworking in Project Zomboid builds some of the more durable fortifications available, and also allows for the creation of weaponry.
However, as of Version 36.40, the only ability available in-game is the ability to create fortifications; weaponry crafting and smithing are due in a later version.
Basic Equipment Required
The equipment needed for Metalworking are as follows:
- Propane Torch (used for construction and deconstruction of items)
- Welder Mask (used for construction and deconstruction of items)
- Welding Rods (used only for construction)
- Propane Tank (used for refilling propane torch)
If your character did not start as a Metalworker, the following are also required:
- Metalworking Magazines 1-4 (used for fortification construction)
- Smithing MagazinesRemoved! 1-4 (used for weapon construction)
It would also speed up your experience gain in Metalworking if you had the following Skill Books:
- Metalworking for Beginners (Levels 1-2)
- Metalworking for Intermediate (Levels 3-4)
- Advanced Metalworking (Levels 5-6)
- Expert Metalworking (Levels 7-8)
- Master Metalworking (Levels 9-10)
Deconstructing Items
To gain metal bars, pipes, scrap, etc. you will need to deconstruct various items in the world to gain basic metal parts, or find them stored in crates in-game.
To deconstruct items, you will need the Welding Mask and the Welder. Otherwise, the option to deconstruct an item will not appear.
Based on your experience level when deconstructing a fixture in-game, one of three things can happen:
- You will be given the part for the item
- You will get scrap metal for the item (partial fail)
- You will get nothing from the item (complete fail)
The result is dependent on your skill level, and thus the higher the skill level, the more chance of success.
A character will still receive experience even if the deconstruction was unsuccessful.
Items that can be Deconstructed
The following furniture in the world can be deconstructed and provide experience and parts for metalworking: (incomplete list)
- Kitchen Sinks
- Bathroom Skins
- Shower basins
- Bathtubs
- Toilets
- Road Signposts
- Metal fences
- Vending machines
- Metal Kitchen cabinets
- Metal Chairs
- Burnt vehicles
If a skill book has been trained while deconstructing, the XP gain will be far higher and is realistically required as metal furnishings in the world are not common.
Time required while Deconstructing
It should be noted it takes a considerable amount of time to deconstruct (and reconstruct) anything relating to metal. You should be careful and wary if zombies are in the vicinity while doing so, as deconstructing something on an accelerated time speed could get the player attacked.
Constructing Fortifications
Recipe Magazines for Metalworking
To a non-metalworker player, the following skill books will need to be found in-game to learn the skills necessary to construct specific fortifications.
These recipe magazines can be found in bookcases, and also within mailboxes outside of in-game houses.
