B42 Update please

Can we set a Start Range in the next update?
So that we don't quite know exactly when Apocalypse happens?

b42 update please

for some reason just doesnt work for me.. i set the time, nope.. just resets to 0 (no other mods, only this one alone)

I have a little different plans for this mod, not intending to update it as it is until b42 MP or adding the new features.

You have permissino to update it to b42 as long as you give proper credit.

i need this please
B42 WOOOOO

42

B42 WEN!??!?!?

PLEASE BUILD 42

I subscribed to the mod but I can't find it in "Select Mods"

42 build?

Omg I've been trying to set my game up to do this for so long, thank you for this mod!!!

hi there, would be a dumb question but how does this actually works?

i installed the mod on a custom sandbox world, set this mod's time to 72 hrs then also turned the night survived option on... i am already at day 5 but still no zombie spawning

do i need to turn zed respawn into on? do i need to wait for more days/hours? really appreciate a bit more explanation for dumb me here, thnx in advance

I personally like the Bandit NPC's mod to a companion with this mod, aswell as the clothing mods as the mod seems to make unique characters lol It has a customisation sandbox screen for each "clan" so it can match up with this mods time :)

@DustinBR
I'm probably very late to this but there's an NPC mod out there most people use,

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1905148104&searchtext=superb

I want a scenario like 1 month later, but instead only 1-2 weeks later. I was hoping setting the sandbox to 1 month later, then setting this mod to 380 hours with nights survived checked would take 20 days off of the 1 month, leaving you at about 10 days into the apocalypse. However, this doesn't seem to work. Do you have any idea how I could achieve this?

Are there NPCs? Or planned to be added in the future updates?
If no, is there any mod that I can set up with this one and add NPCs by myself, just to make things more fun?

Receiving a DMCA likely indicates lack of good faith.

undmca Start Apocalypse Time Improved

@Mikedis36 wouldnt make sense for it not to work, as respawning is an entirely irrelevant mechanic to this mod altogether, so bit of a nonsense question.

This mod is great, allows the feeling of being part of the initial outbreak, rather than being dropped into a half-dead world

how do i make it work on gportal

This will be way more good when Build 43 comes. But a mod will be required to npcs behave normal daily people.

Very useful mod to get situated in starting house/location without the threat of zombies breaking down doors or windows while you loot.

this is such a good concept

Ive noticed, it may just be a glitch for me but, if you have the population to Insane or Very high when the zombies start spawning, they only spawn regular population, not what you set it to. Does anyone know how to fix this?

does this work if Zombie respawning is off?

@Mikedis36 yes it still works

can this work in a dedicated server?

if i have respawn off will this mod still work

Hello. I know this might already been asked a lot, but how long exactly the zombies will start to spawn after using this mod? Is it a couple of in-game hours or days?

If you use the host button to modify the settings then you need to have the mod enabled on the main menu.

Thank you for this great mod!

I can't seem to find the sandbox setting.

I have had other server members download this mod and I have seen their sandbox settings.

I can confirm that they have the Start Apocalypse settings in their Sandbox settings however I do not have the setting.

Do you have any ideas on what to do regarding this?

I have removed the mod and re downloaded it twice and have verified PZ.

Thank you for your time.

@Viper You died for science. I'll never forget your contribution. Rest well good sir.

Hah, whoops, i made the mistake of assuming that already-loaded chunks would not get zombie spawns once this timer ended, so i immediately ran around this little modded town I started in because i wanted it to be abandoned, then I would deal with high sprinter zombie pop on the rest of the map.

So yea i arrive back near my initial spawn point right as my short timer i set would end, character exhausted, and BOOM all the sprinter zombies in the area spawn in and pretty much instantly eat me.

Lessons learned. This does NOT follow your typical chunk-already-loaded zombie spawning rules. xD

ok thanks

This system is old... if you start at 9am, the world age time will be at 2 hours.

If i start at 9AM will that solve the instant progress problem? (btw you have now given me a clue to why my zombie settings never seemed to work right when I set them to be zero on the first day and ramp up quickly)

Read description, try again and explain clearly your issue.

I can still zombies spawning. What am I doing wrong?

can I change the settings on a server after the start ?

cant wait for npcs would really love them to act normal then boom everything goes to hell and we have panics, boarding homes and shops up, even police holding back the dead during the initial outbreak.

i think it would be cool if, when they add NPCs, the start will be more chaotic with characters defending their houses and creating distractions at the start

ive been wanting this as a base setting in the game forever, thank you!

It's 30 days from sandbox options menu.

Whats the limit of days you can set?

I really liked this mod, have my Like here at the workshop, keep up the great work

Finally I can cosplay as Bill from the Last of Us

Videogames, the Barotrauma legend?
