Two drop rate settings
There are two drop rate settings in the sandbox with the exact same name and description. what’s the difference and should I have them at the same value?

Per the mod description:

Zomboxycycline: These pills are used in a manner similar to Malaria prevention medication. These pills prevent infection for 24 hours. Don't forget to take your medicine! (This is disabled by default, you need to up the drop chance in the sandbox options if you want it to spawn)

Presumably, that's what the second drop rate is about.

Just came here as I was wondering the same. So I checked in the mod files.


-- Minimum=1 Maximum=1000000 Default=500
-- This is the spawn chance of a special HazMat Zombie to appear
SpawnChance = 500,

-- Minimum=0 Maximum=100 Default=100
-- This is the chance that a special HazMat Zombie is carying a Zomboxivir
LootChance = 100,

-- Minimum=0 Maximum=100 Default=0
-- This is the loot chance that a special HazMat Zombie is carying a Zomboxycycline pill
LootChanceZomboxycycline = 0,


I can't find anything about the rarety of the Zomboxycycline pill spawning as world loot in the sandbox options. it is stated as FirstAide and classed as Medical. Might be the UseDelta in the scripts file that is set to 0.1 but I've never messed around with modding (yet !). prehaps sombody else can give more insight on this fact.

Both the LootChance and the LootChanceZomboxycycline can be changed on an existing world with no problem. the rate calculation is done when the zombie dies.
For the SpawnChance, this will only affect new zombie spawns. already spawned groups will not be modified.

Hope this helps some folks :-D

Smoke me a kipper, i'll be back for breakfast !

does a higher number mean more common or rarer?
