CREATINE! — Mod Synopsis
CREATINE! is a long-term fitness progression mod for Project Zomboid Build 42.20. It turns body weight, Fitness, and Strength into a unified character-development system where the player can deliberately build a massive, combat-oriented survivor.
To activate the system, the survivor must consume Creatine or a Creatine Smoothie on seven distinct in-game days. Once fully “loaded,” the mod continuously evaluates the character’s weight, Fitness, and Strength. Reaching increasingly demanding milestones grants cumulative trait packages and special abilities.
Milestone Requirements/Rewards-
Bully:
85 kg, Fitness 5, Strength 5
Nutritionist, Thick Skinned, Resilient
Tactician:
95 kg, Fitness 6, Strength 7
Graceful, Gymnast, Hunter
Berserker:
110 kg, Fitness 8, Strength 9
Adrenaline Junkie, Athletic, Axeman
Unyielding Will:
130 kg, Fitness 10, Strength 10
Second Wind and Bulldoze(THESE TRAITS MUST BE EARNED, NOT SELECTED UPON CHARACTER CREATION!) Unyielding Will
Unyielding Will is the final achievement and unlocks two exclusive CREATINE! traits:
Second Wind activates when health reaches—or incoming damage would reduce it to—20% or less. It prevents or interrupts the critical hit where possible, restores the survivor to 35% health, briefly protects them from further damage, and kills nearby zombies within three tiles. It recharges after 72 in-game hours.
Bulldoze kills zombies directly in the survivor’s path while running. It operates within roughly 1.5 tiles and a forward-facing cone, turning a fully developed character into a literal human battering ram. Running still carries its normal stamina demands.
Milestones
The milestones are cumulative. A survivor who reaches Unyielding Will also qualifies for the preceding three packages. However, the requirements remain active: losing enough weight, Fitness, or Strength removes any milestone that is no longer supported. The mod carefully records which traits it granted so it does not remove traits the character possessed independently.
Once the seven-day loading period is complete, the normal Obese and Overweight traits are suppressed. This allows the survivor to carry substantial body mass as functional weight without being treated like an ordinary overweight character. Creatine Smoothies
Creatine can be consumed directly or mixed into a Creatine Smoothie using a water-filled vanilla Sports Bottle. Smoothies support up to four ingredients from an extensive selection of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, oats, peanut butter, fats, chocolate, honey, and sugars. This makes it possible to create calorie-dense workout drinks suited to the weight-gain side of the progression system.
Finishing the smoothie returns an empty Sports Bottle. Mod Compatibility
CREATINE! does not require either compatibility mod to function.
More Workout Supplements compatibility: Creatine powder can be added to the mod’s Junkiez Shake and Junkiez Blended Shake recipes. Its Protein Powder, Preworkout, Mass Gainer, and Fat Burner can also be added to CREATINE!’s smoothie recipe when those items are installed. The compatibility script checks whether each item exists, so the other mod remains optional.
Fitness Workout Overhaul compatibility: CREATINE! evaluates the character’s actual vanilla Fitness and Strength perk levels instead of depending on a particular exercise implementation. Training performed through Fitness Workout Overhaul therefore contributes naturally toward the milestone requirements. There is no hard dependency or direct FWO-specific code in the archive, which should let both systems coexist without CREATINE! replacing or interfering with FWO’s workout mechanics.
In short: load Creatine for seven days, eat enough to build mass, train Fitness and Strength, and progress from an imposing survivor into a 130-kilogram, max-stat force capable of refusing death and running directly through the undead.
