Playing the first few weeks of a new game on the lowest difficulty (whatever it's called) with 24/7 high speed zombies is way WAAAAAY harder than playing on "insane" with zombies set to walk.

Yep. As you noted increasing Z speed does affect diffic...

There was a bug when the drop chance was reduced, which happened in one of the A20 updates. I forget which exactly. POI stumps still used the old drop chance (40%, I believe) while stumps in ope...

Can actually do that to an extent, and there are already a few mods that do exactly that. Guppy has one of my favs.

There aren't really 'waves' of enemies. Rather, there's a set value of enemies that can be alive at one time, and when you kill one, one respawns to take it's place

If you kill all of the zombies at once, it seems like a new wave is coming, but really, it's just that you killed all the zombies, and all of them respawned at once.

So if you have it set to a max alive of 8, then 8 zombies can be alive at once during the horde, you kill one, a new one spawns to take it's place. If you set it to 64, same thing.

This kill->respawn cycle continues until the total count of zombies has run dry.

This is also answered in the pinned FAQ, question A2.

Same. One could check biomes.xml to make sure.

From the actual game code...




Has no value for Range, so it uses the inherited trait from the master.
Most of the other zed hands are the same with couple of exceptions.

So the cop has a slightly larger range than a regular zed, and still much less than the player.

Slightly less than the cop.

These are the more dangerous zeds. You can see the pattern, yes?


This was done specifically to fix the issue with zombie reach that existed previously back before a18 or a17.

We should call this thread "Workshop support, the December Edition."

Originally posted by !C4ught/M3^withMYN4D30ut: The workshop should be a requirement of EA. a slap in the face to the modding community as well :as_terminal:

No, it shouldn't.

Workshop support before the game is finished is a really bad idea. Empyrion is a fine example of this. Most of the workshop content there hasn't been valid for over two years. And since there is no version control in the workshop it makes the situation even worse.


Workshop support will be added once it makes sense. Which is to say, once the core features of the game have been finished, and there are supported standards for the modding platform.

Ok lets give me a point of view of a serveradmin

As serveradmin you really like the automatic resets, you you definately dont want to set it to off.
On the other hand you maybe have build a "Marketplace" where player can meet, or you want a Mine that is not resettet, or you want everything to reset except the Pois in a small town you renovate for RPG reasons....

It’s been a long time since “day level” affected anything. Now each player has their own “gamestage” based on individual player level and other factors. If multiple players are in proximity, they’ll get zombies that reflect their combined gamestage.
