Description

Evolution Mod

Allows zombies to evolve various attributes over time.

Make zombies change their speed, strength, toughness, cognition, ability to crawl under cars, memory, sight, hearing, and virus transmission as a function of time, using individually adjustable settings in the sandbox options.

Customization

A full explanation of the settings can be found on GitHub.[github.com]

General Settings

Turn evolution on or off.
Set how many days you have before evolutions begins. A negative value means evolution has already begun.
Set how evolved zombies are from the start. A negative value means zombies start "devolved".

Evolution Function

Set the way in which evolution progresses to be either linear, asymptotic or cyclic.
For a linear function, you can specify how long it takes to reach 100% evolution.
For an asymptotic function, you can specify the base value, the limit, and how long it takes to reach 50% evolution.
For a cyclic function, you can specify how often it repeats, and between which numbers evolution fluctuates.

Evolution Limits

Set how strong or weak zombies can get compared to the zombie lore settings.
Transmission is hard capped at "Blood + Saliva" and cannot become "Everyone's Infected".

Evolution Factor

Set how quickly zombies evolve certain attributes compared to others.
Set the factor to a negative number to make zombies weaker.
Set the factor to 0 to stop zombies from evolving this attribute.

Deviation Factor

Set how evolution of certain attributes is distributed across the zombie population.
Half of zombies will be affected less than the given percentage, and half will be affected more.
As the percentage approaches 0% or 100%, zombies become more similar.
As the percentage approaches 50%, zombies become more diverse.

Zombie Lore

Any attributes set to "Random" are unaffected by evolution.
Transmission is unaffected by evolution if set to "Everyone's Infected".

I dont play PZ alot but pretty sure this mod does work
Make sure it's at the bottom of your load list

And for those looking for a mod that slows down or speeds up zombies
There's one that does that n makes them start slow n speed up to what type of zombie they are (e.g: shamblers will not speed up to sprinters) and vise versa
.. I just forgot the name of it lol dont play alot remember :p
