Story chance?

[Carrot Carl]

What do the sandbox settings mean: zone story chance and vehicle story chance?

The "story" settings are occurrence of random scenes you can run into in the world.

Vehicle stories are finding collided cars with their occupants milling about, police checkpoint, a car in the middle of a tire change with the tools and tires on the ground, a person hit by a car with it's front smashed, half finished roadworks with the former workers, a pickup and tools strewn about, that sort of thing.

Zone and house stories are similar. Zone stories are scenes with groups of zombies randomly popping up telling a story. You might see cops&robbers, zeds dressed in prison outfits and some cops that were chasing them. You might find a business or a home with zeds dressed in punk gear and balaclavas who where there to rob the place. Office meetings, birthday parties, fishing trips, etc. You may run into boarded up houses that probably had survivors inside. That usually means more zeds but also better loot. But you can also find looted houses with absolutely nothing in them just broken doors/windows, or just weird stuff. I once found a house with containers full of nothing but toilet paper, lol.

You can set the frequency of these stories in the sandbox settings.

Ok, thanks for the information ... and for your effort.

do vehicle stories include how often keys of vehicles will spawn either in a nearby zed's pocket or a nearby house/business depending on where its parked? not finding keys is a bummer but finding them is like well, getting a new car. being able to ramp up how many cars there are but also having the ability to move them out of the way would be great, but maybe theres a mod available that already does this.
