this mod may have become relevant again as Ryuku has nuked all their mods from the workshop and all data contained in them

ya Ryuku mod for Wandering Zombies is SO bug NO stop Errors and 0 ways to tell him
OeilFranckySan 27 Oct, 2024 @ 9:40am 
Hi, i don't know if you will reply. B42 is on its way and you will probably not update this mod to b42. Yet i do prefer this version over the new one. ( I guess the settings are quit complicated )
Is the new one the exact same than this version without touching the settings ? Because it felt diffrent and much harder.
This version is perfect

Ryuku has made his own wandering zombies mod that works in MP so please go there instead.
I will not update this mod anymore likely.

Does this affect performance in anyway? Partly, I think that the zombies not moving much in vanilla was because of performance problems. Other than that, great mod!
Friski 31 May, 2023 @ 7:00pm 
And how should it work with groups of zombies? I just made sure that the zombies did not appear or appeared for a very long time and filled the voids with movement with the help of groups.

@afrochad, yes it is safe to remove midgame

@mileyanska, Zombies do constantly hone in on your position from afar, it's in the code
ShadyBhaz 28 May, 2023 @ 6:55pm 
Is it safe to remove mid game?
MilaYanska 27 May, 2023 @ 3:13pm 
@Maraxo, do you have a feeling that zombies go in your direction no matter what you do?
Almohada 26 May, 2023 @ 4:48pm 
this thing is very hardcore, normally i play with 10% runners, but with this mod i had to lower it to 2%, i love this mod.
MilaYanska 26 May, 2023 @ 7:14am 
Like zombies would go directly to my location non-stop no matter what I do ) there is no way to hide from them ))
MilaYanska 26 May, 2023 @ 3:56am 
Maybe it is just me, but it seems like zombies constantly hone on your positions from afar. I have random zombies and random group size settings. I don't know if it is done on purpose but it is really challenging ))

@CaptainVietnam,

You're not the only one. I used an abandoned warehouse as home base. It was pretty secluded. Wave after wave just poured in. I couldn't even leave my base!
CaptainVietnam 18 May, 2023 @ 3:01pm 
Took me 2 days 1,000 kills to take a random gas station and zombies never stopped trickling in and wouldn't let me pour gas in my car. Was the most annoying thing I have ever experienced in a run. Every time I killed a few more would wander in . Anyone else experience this?

Seems to me open gas stations in city's can be complete aids with this mod active.

I hope someone makes MP version.
SpaceMonkey 15 May, 2023 @ 8:37pm 
real good just makes sprinters that much harder to deal with but its fun fs
WIϟARD 12 May, 2023 @ 11:55pm 
Magnificent! Good job!
 [author] 8 May, 2023 @ 12:20pm 
@Queen Raiza they should if you set zombie distribution to uniform
 [author] 8 May, 2023 @ 12:18pm 
I only tested it with lower/default settings with no rally, it will definitely make the game harder and anyone is free to edit the mod, id love a mp version but idk how to code :)
ファックユー 7 May, 2023 @ 11:56pm 
This absolutely changed the entire playstyle for x16 pop cap and no respawns / group rally. I can be in the middle of nowhere and a zombie will still pop up to say hi. I love this mod!
BrasileirinhoPe 2 May, 2023 @ 2:20am 
Tirando o fato de que você dá spawn em casas já cercado de zumbis. A chance de escapar é bem baixa.
Arruma o spawn. impossível startar game com esse mod.
thecarvalhogamer 1 May, 2023 @ 1:12pm 
hardcore mod
feetlover16 1 May, 2023 @ 11:53am 
Are there plans for mp compatability?
TeslaTrooper 30 Apr, 2023 @ 8:59am 
Great mod. Makes CDDA even more impossible than it currently is in vanilla.
Chop Chop 30 Apr, 2023 @ 2:07am 
Hey bro. Is there a chance that zed will roam around in deep forest.?
chasicles 26 Apr, 2023 @ 4:41am 
i forgor i got this kinda. so when i started a new character this shit scared me LOL
Blessed Mother 25 Apr, 2023 @ 8:28pm 
@Naked Buffalo Oh, I see! Yeah, I like this mod better than vanilla.
Feriath 25 Apr, 2023 @ 7:23pm 
Posted a fix for too much movement and my observations in discussions for those below who interested. Comments do not allow "walls" of text :steamsad: Basically just need to edit one line of text in one file :)
Montusker 25 Apr, 2023 @ 3:44pm 
Agree with HmoWW, its a little too much movement. I only played one day with it before removing it. They also don't seem to do the rally groups anymore?
HmoWW 25 Apr, 2023 @ 2:55pm 
any way to make them move less?

less often and\or less distance at the time
Naked Buffalo 25 Apr, 2023 @ 7:24am 
It may seem like zombies can track you, but they aren't, they're just seeing you from LoS. You can test this by having a really high sneak character, then crouch in the corner of a store that zeds have been in.
You will see zeds walk through the store passed you, that's how aggressively they're roaming.
Naked Buffalo 25 Apr, 2023 @ 6:56am 
@Blessed Mother: this is more aggressive and active. You'll notice it immediately when the pops start growing because you'll be noticing zeds coming out of no where on you while outside. They usually don't do that in vanilla unless they hear you.
Vanilla migration is much more static and slow and they don't really even migrate that much unless a cell gets full, in which case they move to a new cell edge then just stop. It's also based on a duration, where this mod is constant.
Naked Buffalo 25 Apr, 2023 @ 6:53am 
I'm not getting the FPS drop, I use both of those. (I will test better in the problem spots of Louis) If you use stuff that alters individual zombies, you'll get giant lag spikes, anything like making them random.
Also some of the apartment complexes in Louis are gonna lag no matter what. PZ rendering is sluggish.

I found the perfect combo with this though. This + Expanded Heli Events + Pinpoint Hearing + Toxic Fog. Toxic Fog you just need a gas mask or enclosed room, but it drops visibility to zero basically. Really fun!
Lefurtif126 24 Apr, 2023 @ 6:53pm 
This mod causes massive fps drops combined with Expanded helicopter events (EHE), that gets worse and worse until the event ends, then everything gets back to normal. Nice mod for harder playthroughs otherwise. :cherrypie:
Blessed Mother 24 Apr, 2023 @ 10:29am 
Was wondering how this is different than what can be set in sandbox mode, which allows zombies to roam on their own?
Revixy™ 24 Apr, 2023 @ 3:02am 
@Arcthaw; thx; I identify as an authentic blind bat. xD
All jokes aside appreciate it man.
I should really look closer; guess I was too tired when I added this on my list to see that.
Arcthaw 24 Apr, 2023 @ 2:25am 
@Revixy - First sentence my man. "A modification of Restless Zombies Fixed"
Revixy™ 24 Apr, 2023 @ 12:33am 
Is this mod depending on a different mod or something?
Because I've played a bit with this mod active & I see no difference in zombie behavior.
Chop Chop 24 Apr, 2023 @ 12:22am 
YOW HEAR ME OUT. THIS IS GOOD WITH RANDOM ZOMBIES BROOOO
Unicode Dot 23 Apr, 2023 @ 3:23pm 
I still have zombos acting like heat seeking missiles from halfway across towns without me even taking a step. Stood in the same spot for 20 minutes with normal zombie pop and couldn't even loot one corpse. Wasn't moving, no firearms, nothing, just stabby & stompie. For context in the field across from the Rosewood PD but was getting zombies from the church.
Osama Bin Swagging 23 Apr, 2023 @ 12:22pm 
Bro thats so rude, this mod rocks!
NJ-KOS 23 Apr, 2023 @ 11:52am 
this mod sucks
The Boogeyman 23 Apr, 2023 @ 10:06am 
Does this conflict with other mods like per say zombies fear the sun or the calm before the storm?:spiffo:
theonly_J 22 Apr, 2023 @ 9:45pm 
MP please!
