Zombies despawning after player death

[SteelHeart]

I understand that the idea is to make sure you can recover your backpack, but being denied my revenge on every single death just makes me want to rage quit instead of continuing. In addition to erasing a number of zombies from a POI if you die inside one.
Even if I have to go back to base and re-equip in order to beat whatever killed me, I'd like to have that satisfaction available to me.
This is honestly killing the game for me. So does anyone have a way to change this? I've had no luck finding a mod that might do.

Sometimes it is impossible to recover your stuff if they don't despawn, which annoys even more players. I am not sure you can get revenge on them - they are dead, and you will certainly see them again in the next POI anyway.

So I understand that you disagree with me, but where you're mistaken is that you seem to think that your differing opinion is somehow a counter-argument to mine.
As I said in my initial comment, I fully understand the thought process behind the mechanic, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
And "Impossible" is extremely arbitrary. Even if that is so, I would much rather have that risk than the complete lack of satisfaction that could come from actually overcoming that challenge.

We all play the way we like, so I hope you find a mod, OP.

For me, the satisfaction of revenge after a death in the game isn't enough, it must be about a huge setback, even preventing me from even thinking of going back to the place I failed for awhile. It's why I play with the setting : delete all on death (backpack and belt) and the setting to keep any debuffs I had when dying.

Your decisions/actions have much more importance when failure cost more and all the risks in the game get suddenly way more serious. At least for me.

Sounds like it could easily be a toggle in Custom settings or a mod to solve the issue.

That's my thought, but I haven't found a mod yet and the 1.0 updates are keeping the number of reliable mods thin.
I don't even know where to start as far as making it myself.

You're a lot more hardcore than me lol, I respect that.

Have anyone found solution or mod for this? Annoys me too and players in server are exploting this! (run in high lvl POI in low lvl... aggro all and die = empty house to loot after spawning to packpack) dont think this is intended gameplay :(
I will put a bit time on this to make a mod if there is none existanse yet or option in game to disable Z despawn on player death...
