small rooms filled with zombies?
Anyone know if there is a setting or known bug, that would cause 5-15 zombies to all spawn, or to later be attracted to the same small room, such as an office in the back of Spiffo's or this bedroom in Riverside[ibb.co]? My previous run ended in Spiffo's because I assumed the banging on the door would be one or two zombies, similar to what had been spawning in the rest of the world. (I've got zombie pop set to something like 0.5, and no respawn.) The back room in Spiffo's had no windows as far as I know, and in my current run in Riverside I believe I saw an unbroken window before I shut the door and ran back to the school.

Horde most likely wandered in range of your building and probably heard you inside. Imo if you're crouch sprinting inside they SHOULDNT be able to hear you but they do.

Maybe something in the room attracted them? Could be a loud TV or radio etc.

I haven't seen zombies spawn in a group like that indoors myself, but I see no reason why they shouldn't. I would expect it to be pretty common realistically.

The safest option might be to wait for the zombie(s) to break the door themselves, and stand a safe distance back. I once opened a door with 5 zombies piled behind it and was lucky to escape.

Being noisy in general can also sometimes be safer, as it's better for a zombie to come to you in the open, than for you to sneakily turn a corner blind and bump into one.

Also note, I've actually got rally groups disabled in my game, so they wouldn't all move in a group unless I caught _all_ of their hearing. Also note, this is the _first_ time I've been in this house, and no other houses had anything like this amount of zombies hear or see me at the same time.
