Too heavy to lift? "Press the Button" on the ground ・Seven capsule types: Cartoon, Realistic, Dust, Steam, Sci-Fi, Magic and Shockwave, each with its own smoke and sounds ・Tooltip and 3D preview: hover a capsule for condition, fuel, battery, missing parts, mods and cargo; "Preview vehicle" shows it in 3D ・Catch animals in Pal Spheres: right-click a live animal, tame or wild, grown or young; it's released right next to you, and time stands still inside (no growing, hunger or thirst; pregnancy pauses) ・Four tiers: Pal Sphere, Mega, Giga and Legendary; higher tiers catch more easily, and you see the wild catch chance before throwing. Wild animals flee, so throw from afar ・Safehouse protection: in multiplayer, nothing in someone else's safehouse can be packed or caught, and nothing can be released there ・No duplication, admin recovery: a crash or rollback never duplicates vehicles, animals or cargo; admins can trace a lost capsule and restore the vehicle or animal, and the cargo is listed for them to decide on replacing it ・Getting them: loot mechanic shops, car supply stores, gas station repair bays, barns, pet stores and hunting lockers, get them from an admin or the Economy Center, or craft them from vanilla parts at a table when the server allows it ・Single player and multiplayer; UI in 12 languages 🛡️ For server admins ・Sandbox options: return empty capsules / Pal Spheres after use, craft empty capsules / Pal Spheres (both off by default), who can pack (key holders / anyone / admins only; admins always can), capsule sound radius for zombies, taking cargo out of capsules, catching animals, wild catch chance and its injured / young / unaware bonuses, losing the sphere on a failed catch, days to keep closed records ・Each capsule type and sphere tier can be disabled or kept out of loot; the seven loot locations each have a switch and a weight ・The "Pack & Throw Admin" panel edits them too, applied on "Apply"; loot settings only affect containers opened for the first time afterwards ・Records (kept only on the server in Zomboid/Lua/MinidoracatPackThrow/; back them up with the world save): every pack, unpack and restore is validated and logged; search by capsule number or player, teleport to a capsule's last known spot, and restore the vehicle or animal ⚡ Performance ・Packed vehicles leave the world, so they cost nothing per frame; packing many, or heavy ones like KI5's, makes things smoother nearby (KI5 doors, windows and armor have bones recalculated every frame, even while parked) ・Driven or unpacked vehicles cost the same as before; unpacking may hitch briefly 🧩 Requirements ・Required: Minidoracat UI Library https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3789836701 ・Optional: Minidoracat Vehicle Manager https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3813972279 (claimed vehicles: only the owner and players with shared Tow can pack them) ・Optional: Minidoracat Economy https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3801482125 (list empty capsules and Pal Spheres in the Economy Center; loaded ones can be listed or auctioned) ・Safe to add mid-save. Before removing it, read the guide: packed vehicles and animals vanish with their capsules and spheres, and after reinstalling only they can be restored, not their cargo ・Truck in the video: KI5's '93 Ford F-350 (separate mod; needs that DAMN Library): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3073430075 ℹ️ Pal Spheres are a tribute to Palworld; this mod is not affiliated with Pocketpair. 🔗 All Minidoracat mods: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3809297109 💬 Feedback: GitHub Issues https://github.com/Minidoracat/MinidoracatPackThrowFor42/issues #ProjectZomboid #PZMod #PackAndThrow
