Are zombies Endless?
or do they keep spawning!? Cause it would be cool if you could clear out a big area then it stays clear, at least for some time.

At the sandbox settings you can turn off z respawn, but imo that's gameplay gets boring after short time.

have you tried 16x population with no respawning? the satisfaction of driving the zombie race to extinction is worth it imo

Personally I would turn if off by default and turn it back on if things should get boring. You can change these world settings retroactive with mods and save file editing.

I would suggest that you increase the respawn time in sandbox if you don't want things to stay permanently clear.

Even with those numbers, should you survive long enough to clear them, you will still eventually run into the same problem of it getting boring. Sure it may not happen as quickly, but it will happen.

its says max is 4.0? so how you set it to 16x?

change your starting multiplier to 4 as well, keep in mind this can result in literally hundreds of zombies on screen and can lag even beefy pc's

Someone said. Even with respawn disabled, zombies will still keep spawning if you set population peak to anything other than day 1. So we have to have everyone there at day 1 then which is not fun i think but that is how we are all different!

Just to be clear, spawning and REspawning are not the same thing.

Make sure you don't confuse spawning to the population max by x days as a RESPAWN and also be aware that zombie migration and movement is not a RESPAWN either.

This can look like, "Hey I cleared this town already. Respawn is off. Why is it now full again? "

a) max pop hasn't been reached yet, so zombie can spawn still (not respawn)
b) you have reached your max pop day and all the zombies have spawned. But now they migrate and move to empty cells (based on other sandbox settings) which also isn't respawning.

Ah! Thanks a bunch for that info! I did confuse that!
