[2.0.0]
Horde alert, Survivor!
There's been a sudden abundance of Zombies all over the place. Screamers are now popping up in major towns,
and we're finding sleepers on the road. Stay safe out there.
Backstory:
This mod was initially an idea I came up with after playing A19, and reflecting on the past alphas where I felt wandering hordes used to be more dangerous and unpredictable. I wanted to bring this back and focus on improving both wandering hordes and scout hordes, to bring more difficulty (and customization) into the game, as I felt the only real threat was the blood moon.
Features:
-
Improved hordes
- Customizable hordes that scale in size and difficulty, with gamestage & biome progression, to keep the game feeling balanced.
-
World roaming hordes
- Hordes are now commonplace, you'll encounter many on your journey.
- Hordes are simulated throughout the world and load in when nearby.
- Each major POI zone (i.e. cities) has hordes moving in and out constantly, while screamers patrol the zone.
- You will also find smaller roaming hordes in the wilderness. They may either be lost, or making their way to a city.
-
World Event System
- Heatmap-like system that attracts nearby hordes depending on heatmap activities occurring in certain areas. The number and size of the hordes depend on where the activities are occurring. Near a city? Expect huge hordes to wander around and find out what's going on in the neighborhood.
- Screamers contribute a lot of heat if they spot you nearby, attracting hordes nearby. Make sure to take them down quick or you'll be having many hordes knocking on your door.
-
Enhanced AI behaviors
-
Hordes investigate interruptions to their current task as Zombies are a curious bunch.
-
Hordes can also merge and split in size, depending on their goals as a collective.
