I never said we planned allied NPCs. Apart from bandits, we have no specifics on what other NPCs may or may not be added to the game.

Are you using mods? Inventory data was changed to track each slots lock status, so mods may be breaking that.

It tries to spawn 4 traders per biome, but they only spawn in gateways and gateways are random on sides of cities, and there is a minimum distance check between traders, so success in somewhat random.

It is an occlusion issue and is on my list with dozens of other things.

No code changes were made that should effect infestations.

I don’t see why this wouldn’t be possible through modding. Moving to the Modding sub-forum where interested people go to discuss such things.

Stable is first an experimental release, so one of these experimentals will become stable.

Because there were issues with the builds earlier and it takes as long as it takes.

I find the biggest tactical mistake players may make is assuming that as soon as a zombie activates, stealth is over. Not true! If you’re investing in stealth and trying to be stealthy, chances are the zombie doesn’t see you and isn’t coming towards you. They’re coming towards the spot where you made a noise. In many cases you can still creep away and take out the zombie(s), with stealth bonus, without them even attacking because they never confirm where you are.

Regardless of story, we may be moving toward biomes being even more distinct from each other, but the design is not yet done. It will continue to change.

That is old stuff I have never seen. Probably predates me working on the game.

There was a bug where the count could be 0, which was fixed in V1.

I did not want worse performance, so they operate under similar rules to sleepers and it was a quick feature, so I did not spend much time on it.


The zombies would need space to wander and they don't break blocks in that mode, so they can't make space.

I don't work on the server browser. I think we use Epic Online Services for the list and I recall it has limits on filters and the data it returns. When our console devs continue work on cross play, the functionality may change.

The story should work on random maps unless we find a technical reason to only do Nav.

Small towns in RWG now have some rural tiles added as we noticed a lack of POI types in forest as some only spawn in rural. I added a rural percent value, which allows us to scale down the full ring of rurals around smaller towns.


Time is very short for 1.0, so there may not be any additional options added to RWG now. Maybe later.

Lets take a look at the configuration data. You can validate this yourself in the entitygroups.xml file for any version.

In v1.0, the Demo has a chance to spawn in..
  • ZombiesDowntown - .02
  • ZombiesWastelandDowntown - .05
  • POI Entity Groups for POI-specific triggers.
  • Starting at Feral Horde Stage GS147 - .15

  • ZombiesWastelandDowntown - .05
  • POI Entity Groups for POI-specific triggers.
  • Starting at Feral Horde Stage GS147 - .15

So nothing has changed aside from possibly some new POI's including them just like old POI's did.
