@jaemissesmobo, access the sandbox settings, if I'm not mistaken in the Zombies section there is a hearing radius that is set by default to 100.

Wow, feel like this is another mod that will get integrated. I guess vanilla rally groups just make it seems like they do this already.

is there a way to tweak settings for this like hearing radius?

works for b41?

it's very realistic by the way

I've wanted this, cool to see a mod

alr im gonna try it, hope it works cus this mod is cool

@Humaja, I'am not sure, have not used that mod yet , but i think it should work .

does zombies fear the sun work with this?

build 41?

Strange, I could have swore that this was already default vanilla behavior. Mandela effect or just presumption

me gusta la idea

@ Loccatpowersdog, It won't be affected by it. :)

Patch notes said something about thumpable objects but dunno if it would effect this.

Hey, great mod!! . Question: how you make to look the game like in the gifs? it´s like filter or something like that?

I thought the reason why zombie sounds are not attracting other zombies has something to do with bandits mod since they don't seem to be attracted to the gun sounds of the bandits than a player

@Lavender, it is buuut, for some reason the zombies doesn't react to other zombie noise. They only react to player noise, this mod kinda let them hear other zombies thumping thumpable objects in game.

wait is this not a vanilla feature

I remember this being in the game in the early days of project zomboid. It was terrifying and definitely made me want to stay in doors as much as possible when learning how to play. It added to the experience a lot. I wonder if they removed it because of the added difficulty or if their systems just changed so much that it eventually was forgotten as other things were worked on. Or if I'm just remembering it wrong. Thanks for this!

@David, you can set the strength of zombies in the sandbox setting. Hope this helps.

@David, it doesn't modify anything. everything is vanila, it only attracts zombies though things getting attacked by too many zombies with or without this mod will get destroyed quickly.

Does this cause doors and windows to break faster? I'm also curious if there's any mod that increases the amount of hp doors and windows have, I feel like it should take longer to break.

thumpa bumpa

@Loccatpowerdogs, nope, it doesn't.

Does this make trunks closing really loud by chance?

I thought this was a thing in the base game. Great mod!

any chance b41 pls

i like thumping my friends to

@the wok this just listens for zombies thumping on things , the zombies still behave normally. If environmental attacks are enabled (which they are by default), zombies will try to break doors, windows, or fences when they notice something inside. But they don’t randomly cause chaos unless they start thumping first. It usually begins when a player draws a zombie toward a building, or when a zombie randomly starts thumping, that’s when others nearby join in. If they manage to break through and no one's actively thumping anymore, the rest just wander off and do their usual thing… until it happens again. Lol.

what happens if environmental attacks is turned on though???

This makes so much sense I thought it was vanilla... until I installed the mod. It's SO MUCH better, and makes the thumping nearby actually a threat in a way that makes sense for zombies who are attracted to sound. Wonderful when paired with the default migration setting checked off (and paired with wandering zombies, scent of blood, starving zombies, reactive sound events, etc).

im new my only respond is
but whyyyyyyyyy ToT

Thank you. I don't know why i do this to myself but masochist is the closest word i can think of.

I have 140 active mods, including knox event.
I disabled bandits because the last update (b42.9) broke it in several details.

Honestly?
I didn't feel any FPS drop with this "hump with Friends" active.

Seeing a crowd of zombies gather near a door where another zombie punches it is SIMPLY AWESOME.

It's the immersion detail that I tried to guarantee a lot in the sandbox and couldn't.

wait, this is not vanilla already?

This plus Doors Have A Chance = bye bye safe places

first we had people begging for an update to mods for build 42, now we have people doing the same for build 41. we've come full circle. /lh

Build 41 soon?

Any chance for build 41?

@Abztracts we are planning to add it anytime soon.

Sandbox settings?

his mod is great! I genuinely thought that this was already a feature! The closest ive had it work before is making zombies able to attack what they come across, but that often has a much lager catchment area and leads to SO many empty streets.

I don't know how It never occurred to me that this wasn't already a feature. Can't wait to get eaten by an even bigger horde.

@SIMBAproduz, I actually did that before the sound distance thing and I love horde night and CBTS, but i dont want to fight the whole town or city. This is kinda inspired by TWD zombies they hear sounds, but we made it that they also hear other zombies making sounds so its not always the players getting targeted for source of the sound.

And we hope you like it. :)

I love it when you try to make this as "realistic" as possible.
Thanks for that.
I killed myself in the sandbox to manipulate every detail to get something similar.
The 750 sound distance helped.
But those shordas that are a little too close to each other and still bother me still. I want to make them spread out in a more random way.

Thanks for the mod.
