that is because bandits are considered zombies in the modders way of implementing them
Solar Jul 13 @ 8:49am 
the mod conflicts with the bandits and bandits day 1 mod, the bandits just go to the nearest corpse and walk in circles

:/

Is an MIT license, so feel free - although the underlying code is rather hacky. I may eventually look into it if a suitable alternative no longer exists.

Sadly the creator of starving zombies and wandering zombies has deleted and redacted all mods from the workshop, given this circumstance i might look into porting this to b42 if you are okay with this when i get the free time too.

Any chance of a 42 version?

Hey man. Great mod, is it possible to make it compatible with the Bandits mod? Some guy mentioned it once in the discussion tab:

(quoting from the Bandits mod page compatibilities discussion)
"If you are a modder and you wish to recognize bandits from other zombies, here is the proper way to do it:
local isBandit = zombie:getVariableBoolean("Bandit")
where zombie is an instance of IsoZombie class."

Is this possible? I'd love to have both in my game.

Its an MIT license (essentially do whatever the you want just don't sue me), so reuploads are perfectly legal.


Should be compatible with most B41 mods. Think it had problems with bandits along with a few others.

Is this compatible with Wandering Zombies (B41). Starving Zombies is only for b42. Thanks!

FYI: someone has re-uploaded this mod to steam without crediting the original author (and I assume without permission based on their attitude and descriptions): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3494937516

Player early game engages in combat to loot, after trying to sort this loot. If its gonna kill zombies after they engages on him - this mod multiply its spawn.

Multiply spawn = Low FPS. Even if you not going to kill zombies, Any engagement to the player or events spawn them. Making endless cycle of Powerpoint Presentation.

Of course i could say that i had to touch sandbox settings to prevent this from happening. But i playing with this mod in default preset. And i'm pretty sure there are a people who could drop sandbox preset in discussions.

Playing with vanila zombies is mega easy, this mod provides real challenge in long run. Especially for your PC lmao.

I really like this mod, because killing zombies actually have consequence.
And this mod really changes zombies from
- Oh sh1t, here we go again.
to
- I'M REALLY RISKING MY A$$ THERE TO PICK UP FREAKING ICE CREAM

Its kinda endlessly spawning zombies when player engage in combat. Making looting actually dangerous, and even if you beat one horde. There gonna be another nearby, if not right now.

But its idea is breaking zombies inside cell.
Let me explain:
Luma May 22 @ 2:13pm 
the zombies have been ignoring players if there's a corpse closer than the player. it makes it way too easy to avoid them. is this an incompatibility you think? idk if i'm using them right but the wait time and time to eat body variables don't seem to be working on our dedicated server
Update thisssssssss so it can be compatible with Bandits is it really that hard
marshmallow justice Apr 13 @ 9:51am 
is it possible to add the small line of code provided by the Bandits author to exclude the Bandits from this mechanic (they eat the zombies corpses lol) or is it not able ?
RudyTheNinja Apr 5 @ 4:30pm 
Does this work with B41?
Last I check it was broken in many different ways in B41
EmptySet  [author] Apr 5 @ 4:24pm 
This is a B41 mod. Use "Starving Zombies" for B42.
RudyTheNinja Apr 5 @ 4:08pm

(Still waiting on some mods of mine to go to B42 :lunar2019piginablanket: )
EmptySet  [author] Jan 20 @ 7:40pm 
O sweet, saves me from having to maintain this.

Go use that guys lol.
Shans Jan 20 @ 2:03pm 
There is already a version for 42B. Starving Zombies
NCar01ina|Cyantist Jan 19 @ 6:25pm 
please we need this awesome mod in B42
LizardSpaceCadet Jan 14 @ 4:38pm 
can you install this mid save?
Naikwee Jan 4 @ 12:48pm 
Im sure im not alone in this statement: "We need this awesome MOD for de B42"
EmptySet  [author] Dec 29, 2024 @ 6:51pm 
Is B42 even compatible with old saves without mods? I don't think it is lol.
The Reaper of Souls, Kasane Teto Dec 28, 2024 @ 6:19am 
Might be a bit late and redundant (too lazy to look at other comments lmao) but is this compatible with old saves?
WANDERER Dec 27, 2024 @ 8:02am 
hello, do you gonna update this mod for B42? This mod is Awesome!
JACK Dec 26, 2024 @ 3:01pm 
this is REALLY interesting. what a smart idea for a mod
Mang Dec 26, 2024 @ 1:08pm 
love this mod
doodad Dec 25, 2024 @ 1:34pm 
This mod is like fighting a hydra, Cut off a head and two grow in its stead! Love the mod in combination with trash and corpses and random corpse revival, makes for a quite immersive experience indeed. It also makes is so the zombies "clean up" after themselves, since they eat old bodies that would otherwise rise up again. Definitely play with hordes disabled if you don't want to play Left 4 Dead though, lol, but it makes for a nice zombie combat simulator experience.

A bit of a shame it doesn't work with the Bandits mod though, but that is understandable with how hacky the Bandits mod is - essentially turning zombies into "npc's".

Great mod, good work, with hilarious unforeseen (exponential) consequences.
EmptySet  [author] Dec 24, 2024 @ 7:57pm 
note, this is only b41

@EmptySet I would love to try out the experimental version of the mod for B42. PDFZ was one of my fav must-have mods for B41. Please share the link to your git if possible. Thanks and happy holidays!
SpartanH347 [FR] Dec 23, 2024 @ 3:17pm 
Yeah since some game i turned off the horde setting because it was truely Doom gameplay otherwise xD
Foslix Dec 22, 2024 @ 12:16pm 
maybe as a separate mod?
EmptySet  [author] Dec 21, 2024 @ 6:17pm 
@Badger
B42 is going to be off my github branch, which fixes that behavior.

It literally is exponential currently.

While hilarious, it is a bug lol. May add a toggle for it since some people seem to like it this way tho.
EmptySet  [author] Dec 21, 2024 @ 6:15pm 
I'm hesitant to port to b42 until its out of unstable.

I'm not sure if mods will remain compatible between unstable and stable.
Gex Dec 21, 2024 @ 4:07am 
please update for version b42
Kaneki Ken Dec 9, 2024 @ 5:29pm 
i love this mod you can call me a masochist. Please when B42 launch update this mod.
Badger Dec 6, 2024 @ 5:05pm 
This mod needs a change because even on the lowest setting the "noise" distance increases way too much too quickly. A noise should only be created once there are corpse flies and that noise radius should never go above 10 or so tiles. It should not travel from indoors to outdoors either. I got my friends to try it on our server and while its a great idea and it adds difficulty in the right way, its unplayable. You'll kill one zombie, then another, and its just an exponential increase in zombies that cannot be dealt with. If you have any respawn it becomes hell. If you have no respawn, all the game difficulty is in the first few weeks until you kill all the zombies after drawing them into one parking lot, and then its trivially boring and easy.

Я Е.Б.А.Л ЭТОТ МОД ЕСЛИ БУДУТ ГДЕ ТО У ТЕБЯ НА БАЗЕ ТЕЛА ТО ТЕБЕ П.И.З.Д.Е.Ц ОНИ ПРОСТО ИДУТ С ГОРОДОВ ТЕБЕ НАДО БУДЕТ УБИТЬ ВСЕХ ЗОМБИ В ИГРЕ ЧТОБЫ БЫЛО ВСЁ СПОКОЙНО
Mandatory Fun Nov 28, 2024 @ 7:39am 
Sucks this doesn't work with the bandits mod.
scared star Nov 22, 2024 @ 3:14pm 
@Sr. Cambito Jocoso

it attracts them, more bodies add more weight on the 'noise' a dead body make to attract them, base value can be kinda nutty constantly getting more cus of bodies on normal setting

we once disable the mod and filled a garage full of i think 20-25 corpse and when we turned it on holy shit calling that building infested was an understatement lol

the mod attracts zombies that scales via the more bodies are in the area, zombies and human.
Sr. Cambito Jocoso Nov 8, 2024 @ 7:25am 
how exactly does this work? this it spawn NEW zombies, or does it attract zombies already in the region?
The Original! Blunt Wrap Nov 5, 2024 @ 8:19am 
This mod makes West point start - a hell on earth... love it. Ty:steamthumbsup:
Potato Gaming Oct 5, 2024 @ 3:40pm 
Q: does this work with a robotic arm on from the "Only Cure" mod when zombies come to eat your dead corpse with the robotic arm?
zuero † Sep 26, 2024 @ 1:55pm 
would love it to be it attracts zombies after a full day ingame or smth cuz as it stands this mod just turns the game into zombie killing simulator 24/7
Nah44 Sep 22, 2024 @ 6:35pm 
Now to try this on a 100% sprinters run... :steammocking:
aquelarrefox Sep 22, 2024 @ 8:20am 
Is possible add a patch for bandits npc?
Bub Sep 19, 2024 @ 3:36pm 
A pretty cool mod for the first 30 minutes, after that I was forced to take on the job of the city's gravedigger, as there was no one else alive to take on the task. There were so many zombies that I had to stop looking for food, because they were so angry with the delay in the funeral that they wouldn't leave me alone.
Vaultboy_2077 Sep 19, 2024 @ 10:45am 
I may be misunderstanding the mod, do hordes have a chance to spawn no matter what? I have horde cooldown to 3 IRL hours but it keeps spawning zombies around me even if its just 1 corpse on the ground, I was at the interchange before Muldraugh with all the car wrecks and there was no reason for there to be 200+ zeds in that area, I zoomed out 200% and could see zeds constantly spawning in a circle like 30 square grids around my character & the only way I got it to stop was by disabling hordes altogether
Occupier Sep 3, 2024 @ 2:00pm 
I played with this mod, it's cool. You'll see such meaty crowds everywhere. It should be refined, sanded and polished. With him, the game often slows down. Yes, and I think it's time to update it :griefer::steamthumbsup:
