If you have any specific requests of anything you'd like me to code into this or any ideas of quests please let me know. I'm certainly open to suggestions or constructive criticism of what I've designed so far. Please bear in mind at the moment it is not possible to have a quest step for a player to go to a location other than the trader.

Thank you all for your comments. If anyone finds any bugs or problems, please do let me know. I've played through it quite a bit as I was developing it, but wanted to get this out into the World for others to try out. I appreciate all feedback, both positive and negative.
I love this and I hope you expand it more. Especially with more objectives besides "Kill zombie" if at all possible. I like the idea of rewarding players for playing the game, but I want to see something that rewards things other than combat. I feel combat is already the defacto way to get stronger, faster.Rant aside, great job.
Please know that the "Kill Zombie" really is only to gain citizenship. Beyond that, most of the quests surround gathering resources and crafting items. I do plan to expand this within the bounds of what the game currently allows.. which is really quite limited. The only real actionable tasks are kill zombie (of type ___), goto POI/Prefab (but limitation has it always pointing to trader), and trading in one item for another. There is a way to track the number of blocks placed.. but in order for that to really be usable, we need the ability to task the player with visiting a POI. I've got a few more ideas I'd like to implement on this but it really would be helpful if TFP would improve the quest code. Half of what I've designed here, I feel is a hack to give the appearance of a congruent quest experience.
I did make a great effort to make my XPath code as concise as possible. I found nearly all of the other Quest Modlet examples had extraneous lines of code that didn't serve a purpose or were not needed. This should make it easier for others to copy the code from my Modlets to either add on to this White River Tools of Citizenship quests or to create something new and different. I also did purposely leave one of the Modlets as simple as possible (Gupta's Bandages) to leave a simple example for others.

Tested with A20
White River - Tools of Citizenship - A20
* Also now supports Darkness Falls through the use of a compatibility modlet. (Darkness Fallas compatibility is not yet working in A20)
Now with Multiple Languages Localization/Support: English, German, French, Iitalian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish
The White River settlements are looking for new citizens to contribute and are willing to give extra tools and equipment that they've collected. They are offering to provide to a select few survivors access to higher quality tools, weapons, armor, and equipment in exchange for volunteering to complete various tasks for the settlement. There is a limited supply and these items are only available to those who gain citizenry with White River settlements. In addition to the reward, the player is sometimes also offered a small stack of wet concrete blocks, from the last of the Trader's community inventory to assist in re-establishing a homestead.
----
This modlet collection extends the new player White River citizenship quest line to provide some quests to obtain improved tools, weapons, and armor. Each item has a small back-story and explanation in an attempt to blend with the vanilla game and Trader. This gives players a chance to obtain better equipment through a method other than randomness or traditional progression. The rewards this modlet pack provides were carefully considered against Vanilla gameplay. In most cases, the named items only provide a small improvement over the items they were created from. The duke and experience rewards are in-line with vanilla quests, and across all quests and tiers in this modlet pack only a handful of skillpoints are offered and only on the highest complexity quests. Due to the multi-tier design of this modlet collection, it provides equipment for beginners all the way up through the elite.
**This modlet pack is XML XPath ONLY and only needs to be installed on the server or player hosting the game! Other players do not need to install this modlet pack locally.**
The modlet collection provides multi-tier quest lines. Once the new player reaches the trader, they are given a +Declaration of Citizenship item. This allows them to begin a quest to volunteer to help lay to rest 10 old residents now turned zombie. This earns the player a +White River Citizenship Card which they can then use to select which quest they would like to pursue. The player's citizenship card is returned to them after they complete the settlement's quest. If it is lost for any reason, the player may start this quest again as a Tier 1 Trader quest, and also can randomly find a +White River Citizenship Card on zombie loot bags.
--
Citizenship is offered in three-tiers:
- Tier 1 : Kill 10 Zombies. This is the Basic level of citizenship. Reward: +White River Citizenship Card
- Tier 3 : Kill 100 Zombies. This is the Veteran level of citizenship. This is started as a Tier 3 Trader quest. Reward: +White River Veteran Citizenship Card
- Tier 5 : Kill 1000 Zombies. This is the Elite level of citizenship. This is started as a Tier 5 Trader quest. Reward: +White River Elite Citizenship CardOnce the player obtains their citizenship card, they can use this to craft quest-starter items for the equipment quests below. Some of the quests below offer a veteran version which rewards better quality, more items, and greater quantity of each multi-quantity item. Some offer an even higher level set of rewards for elite citizens. After a "Veteran" quest is complete, the Trader keeps your Veteran Citizenship Card, requiring you to complete the Tier 3 Trader quest again to obtain a new Veteran Citizenship Card. However, after an "Elite" quest is complete, an Elite Citizenship Card is returned.

Ouch. I see what I did wrong on this.
Sorry about the problem on this one. Boy that's a big one to miss. 
I'll publish a new release later today that will have a fix for this.
The zip file you downloaded contains a folder in it called "XelaNull-7dtd-Modlets-A17.1_1.3b2", and within that you'll see eight other folders. Its these eight folders you would want to copy to your Mods folder. Although, I did design these modlets under 17.1, hence that version being in my version number (and the folder mentioned above). I'll work to test this Modlet collection against 17.2 today with the intention of releasing a version tested against 17.2 & 17.1 later today.
Is it "Bambi's, Killer Bow" or is it "Bambi's Killer, Bow" ?? HMMMM I'm glad you enjoyed my sardonic sense of humor.
I've not played Starvation Mod before, but it sounds really interesting. I'll have to dig through their code to see if I can sort through how they accomplished what you described. At the moment, I'm not convinced the initial Kill 10 Zombie quest is allow all the Zombies I've listed. In-Game it is listed the big list I've supplied as just the first entry in the list. I'm not sure there is a good way to track that a player has killed all zombies in an area (as opposed to XXX number of zombies), but I'll look into this more to see if there is something maybe I missed. Thanks for your thoughts.
