Not functioning on dedicated servers
My main problem with this mod is still existing. This mod will not function in a dedicated server. The variables used to calculate the horde reset every time the server resets. This means with default settings you will get a horde every time your server resets within a few hours. The rest of the settings, such as days since last horde, horde trigger progress, begin at 0. These numbers generate from the moment the server starts until it reboots and goes back to 0 again. This means if your horde does not trigger before you need to reboot your server for any reason you will skip that horde. This means that if you have a variable for no horde within a certain amount of days since the last horde it will reset that to 0 when you reboot the server for any reason, instantly triggering a horde. Unfortunately the workaround I have been using to change the first horde day caps at 365 days in the settings. I might be able to work around this by manually putting higher numbers into the sandbox.lua but it is becoming such a tedious process I am ready to remove this mod from my server after long use.

I would have posted this in the comment section for visibility but I think it will not matter. The mod is unfortunately looking to be abandoned. Maybe another person who has experience modding can take up the mantle and redesign the mod to work as intended.
