[2020] what happened to screamer zombies?

Originally posted by samcharles77: They are scouts so they usually only come knocking if your heatmap hits 100. Auger on iron raises your heatmap very quickly. When I do about 10 - 15 minutes of this I almost always see at least one..last time I saw four at once.

If you really want to see one get something like 12 campfires going at once and wait a bit.

Hmm. I recently acquired an auger for the first time in my A19 game. I spent the better part of one day mining oil shale and nitrates with it (enough to process into 100,000 units of gas). I expected the screamers to come flocking, based on what players like you have reported, but I never got even one.
