f1n is wrong i have been using this in b42 and works great. have fought multiple hordes no problem whatsoever.

This mod does not work in b42 I tested it multiple times and let the game run for multiple in game weeks and nothing ever happened no horde gathered nearby and I never got the custom message pop up to show that the horde was coming I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or that the mod is just simply broken.

lol the whole map is empty

DAMN... setted horde radius to 2k range... and now my base is a slide show.
BeautifulRnr Aug 15 @ 12:08pm 
ya it works good in build 42 can confirm.

I love this mod but it sucks at multiplayer, as you cannot make the sync right. Having a player at the stormhorde phase and another player at calm phase, both near each other, zombies will never come not until the last player finishes he/her own calm phase. Are there any fix for this?

Does this work on b41?

I've tested a different setup and hope my calculations are right. The goal is to compress the full day cycle into 24 hours: Cooldown Phase = 18h, Calm Phase = 4h, Storm Phase = 2h. I want the event to repeat daily, but with one twist — Storm Phase Update Frequency set to max. If I understand the mod correctly, Zeds get their "wall-hack" on phase start, and then again based on Update Frequency. If it’s off, it triggers only once.

This setup should create a daily, natural zed migration toward me. Hordes will gather during the Calm Phase and then get triggered in the Storm Phase, pursuing me until their memory expires (set to Normal). This way, I get a dynamic threat without knowing where they come from. Vanilla migration fills empty cells, which becomes predictable and boring — I’ve already cleared a third city and need more challenge.

mtjoel Jun 12 @ 12:24pm

Conquest May 18 @ 2:20pm

domix0n May 14 @ 7:49am 
I got so used to playing with this in 41 I just cant play without it in 42!!!!
Seibutsu Apr 20 @ 7:48pm 
that feel when the best mod for PZ still hasn't been updated for B42 :(

FINALXIII Apr 18 @ 12:06pm 
@socialtroglodyte I think there is something wrong with this mod. I just set the Cooldown phase to 720 and leave everything else as is, but nothing happens. Even if I restart my save, can you check this for me?
pointblank98 Apr 16 @ 8:26pm 
@GoofBall: You change their homing offset. By default, it's set to 0, meaning they'll home in on you. If you set it to 150, they will roam an entire cell away from you.
GoofBall Apr 11 @ 12:59am 
How do i tweak the config so that hordes can form in the world but not home in on a player? I am trying to create a threat of random hordes just shambling around the world on our server instead of them always knowing your location and beelining towards you.

Does this work with Surviving Through Seasons ?
gavers Mar 29 @ 7:43am

F1N Mar 20 @ 4:53pm 
Yeah i'd honestly like to see this mod on b42

@shafynotfound does it work?
BIGDAWG92 Dec 23, 2024 @ 8:09pm 
B42?
shaftnotfound Dec 15, 2024 @ 4:04pm 
Is this compatible w bandits?
Jerry The Terrorist Nov 29, 2024 @ 7:31pm 
Unfortunately the multiplayer issues have forced me to remove this mod. It's exactly what I wanted but if it's going to by client side time instead of global time, it's broken.
lightfm90 Nov 27, 2024 @ 8:34am 
This looks amazing, great job! Does it work with Bandits NPC ?
donya. Nov 25, 2024 @ 11:43pm 
@SocialTroglodyte my dude can you provide compatibility with Bandits NPC? The developer has a mini-instruction for isolating bandits from zombies:

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.
N'Golo Crampté Nov 23, 2024 @ 10:17am 
doesn't work in multiplayer as advertised, no server sided sync. pretty neat idea apart from that detail
Fancy Man of Cornwood Nov 21, 2024 @ 11:16am 
Patch to make it global, not per player in MP?
FINALXIII Nov 18, 2024 @ 3:43am 
@Gr0gnak If you play this mod in multiplayer you should setup calm phase update frequency to 30 it will take 30 minute in real life to next calm phase and make zombie in storm phase not run away from you.
CrazeFury69 Nov 12, 2024 @ 12:15am 
Seems like even during cooldown phase the zombies avoid me, ill attack a horde and while backing up killing them half of them will go back to where they were standing. cool mod but it doesnt seem to function properly for me, the storms never arrive even with 24 hour length. all it does for me is make the streets feel empty and for some reason makes zombies run away mid fight
tupperwEri Nov 2, 2024 @ 6:25pm 
Really good mod but if a horde rolls up and you're on 2x pop. the game immediately begins to implode
MrComp Oct 16, 2024 @ 1:33pm 
Interesting to note: Every player in a server has their own calm before the storm timer from the moment they join/play.

If one player is in the storm phase while the other player is in the calm phase, zombies will constantly run away from the location.

@Slider-Man Even though i havent played since around mid August, but even back then i was using it for a while with no issues.
Slider-Man Sep 11, 2024 @ 7:28am 
Also curious if this plays nice with Bandits mod, been trying to test this but no horde yet with settings i put in
DadRadSkittle Sep 6, 2024 @ 7:50am 
Any chance for compatibility with Slayer's Bandits mod?
lukaV Sep 5, 2024 @ 1:42pm 
this is a really great mod, it does not fuck around. make sure to extremely prepare because there will be a lot of zombies. really hard to survive.

STFR firepumper spotted in the screenshots.
GREAT MOD YOU GOT HERE!!!
Keep up the great work. :3

@morti Look into Zombie Culling, google it.
Flandre Scarlet Aug 6, 2024 @ 11:25pm 
IF we disable zombie respawn , can this mod work ?
Arvalaan Aug 6, 2024 @ 1:52am 
Sadly didn't work for my group as the zombies kept walking back and forth. A lot of hordes were clumped up which made performance quite terrible but they never seemed to attack. Hopefully this gets resolved and allows for an actual multiplayer experience as I truly love the concept.
Crisp Jul 26, 2024 @ 2:23pm 
my calm phase keeps restarting every time i log back in. It was at 8000 seconds roughly 141 minutes. Now after logging in again it is at 9000 something seconds roughly 166 minutes. I started on July 9th and it is currently July 21st and have not seen a single horde. The mod is working and i am alone in mp. Not sure what is causing the prep phase to keep resetting
