When do Feral Zombies Spawn?

[Spada]

Hi, am at Day 27 survived 3 Bloodmoons and never encountered a single Feral Zombie
I encountered a couple of times the Zombie Bear in the basement/ caves also one time the green mutated Zombie whatever you call them

I find it hard to believe that you haven't run into any ferals but yet you're far enough in to see irradiated zombies. There haven't been any slightly faster/tougher zombies with glowing yellow eyes yet? Weird.

It took me a while before I saw any in single player but I may have been progressing slowly. So imagine my surprise when I play multiplayer with my brother and we run into ferals on the first night. Anyway, I don't have a real answer for you as for what gamestage ferals start to show up or anything similar to that, though I would guess that they are more likely to show up randomly during nights than days. Eventually your gamestage will spawn them frequently in POIs, but that's not for a while.

My Gamestage is 91

I've seen ferals night 1. If you wander around in the dark they show up, and you also should have encounters some in POI's well before gamestage 91. You sure you just aren't recognizing them? They look just like normal ones but with a little more yellow in the eyes.

If you have there speed turned down in settings you might not even notice them, besides the eyes, they look the same. If not (on default settings), they move faster, and have yellow eyes, you cant really miss them.

You do get more exp for them, can watch the lower right, default xp setting I believe a normal zed ferel is 750 exp. We have ours on nightmare speed to make em a little more fun, easy to tell when there around. Gamestage 280 ish, insane, ferel to normal zed is almost 50/50

Multiplayer much alter things because in solo iv never seen a "advanced" zombie early but twice now on Servers we have had First Night Ferals and even a Spider on night three
