HGO Expansion B42

About

The High Guys Official Expansion Pack is our take on adding as much new content to Project Zomboid as we can while keeping the experience authentic. The focus is on cannabis and everything that comes with it, but we’re also expanding the game world in a way that still feels true to Zomboid.

You’ll be able to grow, harvest, and use weed in a bunch of different ways. Grow different strains, dry and cure your harvest, roll joints, bake edibles, and even trade or share with other survivors. The effects are more than just visual or roleplay based — they tie into gameplay too.

Outside of the cannabis system, we’re adding new items, recipes, props, and environmental details that blend into the world naturally. Everything is made to feel like it belongs in Knox County without taking away from the survival vibe.

Whether you're building a quiet grow-op or just looking to bring some new flavor to the apocalypse, the High Guys Expansion Pack adds something fun and different to your next playthrough.

Features 

• Full cannabis system with farming, crafting, smoking, and edibles.
• New loot, gear, and world details focused on weed culture.
• Simple and grounded additions that don’t break immersion.
• Regular updates and adjustments based on player feedback.

Compatibilty

• Tobacco+ Hotkey by Pimatstudio - This mod adds hotkey support for all smoking items to improve player mobility and reduce your time hunting around the inventory for a specific smoke. (Fully Compatible)

Common Info

• The cannabs decarb process is currecntly quite primative, Simply place Ground Cannabis in an oven until it becomes Decarbed Cannabis. Be careful to not let it burn!

• If you want to create edibles our CannaButter is usable in evolved recipes!

• There is a know issue with the mod currently that causes some moodle issues and overlaps, we intent to rebuild the way smoking works in the mod so these issues will be resolved eventually.

• Growing cannabis is currently the same as growing many other plants as we are using the same system and stats. We have plans to build a new growing system with some unique mechanics in future!

• Harvesting a Cannabis plant will result in Wet Flower, these items currently need to be dried in ovens or clothing dryers before they can be used for smoking.

Multiplayer

The mod is expected to work in multiplayer (When available). But bugs might show up, especially when combined with other mods. If something breaks, we will do our best to fix it.
