I removed all mods except Bandits and Mod Options and problem persists.

I tried changing spawn chance for clan 1 to 100% and pumping bandit base/camp and bandit defenders to 100%. after spending some time on ghost mode in debug some house icons started to appearing (base with npcs are being spawned) but balaclava icons doesnt appear unless i spawn some bandits waves by myself.

I have a same problem 🥲

Its good to know Im not alone😭 I spent whole day trying to fix it with no luck unfortunately… No clue whats causing it

@Slayer pls help i refuse to play project zomboid without ur mod😞

1. Make sure you don't have betterfps mod or any other mod. Play on vanilla map. Some mods require manual installation so maybe they still work after unsubscribing.
2. Does spawning by admin work when selecting "spawn far"? If spawning near work and far does not work then it is possible betterfps is still working.
3. Restore sandbox settings to default values. Maybe you messed up with day start and date end and thus the condition for spawning. Now set spawn chance to high values for all clans.
4. Check game options. Try everything in default. Including English as a language.
5. Make sure you are in a place not surrounded by water or any other areas that have a lot of blocked squares

Hi, thank u for your response Slayer

1. I never used BetterFPS mod. I have only two mods installed: Bandits, Mod Options.
In my C:\Admin\User\Zomboid\mods, default.txt folder I have:

VERSION = 1,

mods
{
mod = modoptions,
mod = Bandits,
}

maps
{
}

I tried running it in debug on Muldraugh, KY just now, Sandbox-> Saved Presets-> Survivor, All default. After some time on Speed 3 first base appeared I got notification about it and in command console i got logs about Bandits joining the game. I teleported to them and they work fine, but still I don't see any bandits wandering around nor do I get any notification about it. Edit: I spent another 10 minutes of real time in game and some red balanclava appeared but I think it was because of bandits wandering away from their base. I tried starting a game where I set in Bandits General:
Bandits defenders hourly spawn chance 0%
Bandits base/camp hourly spawn chance 0%
Bandits Clan 1 hourly spawn chance 90% (Day 1 starting)

And any notifications stopped appearing. No base icon no balanclava icon, nothing sadly. I tried flying around the map setting speed 3 in different places, turning off ghost mode, turning on ghost mode - nothing. Even tho I set Clan 1 spawn chance to 90%. But well, it's only getting weirder cause:

2. Oddly enough Spawn Bandits Far WORKS, the same goes to Spawn Bandit Base Far

3. They are default.

4. I have set English as a language, every other settings is default also.

5. I tried flying all over the map. Bandits not appear by themselves :( (Except in bases if I turn them on)

Im running Project Zomboid on Version 41.78.16
And I haven't installed any mods that required manual installation.

How many in game days have you waited for them to spawn? I don't remember if day 1 is the first day or day zero. But in the first 24h noone should spawn


Also check console.txt file and search for "no valid spawn" or something similar

I need to learn some patience.....

Thank u for fixing my problem!
After 24 hours bandits started appearing lol
now im gonna go enjoy ur mod sorry and thank u for taking ur time trying to help!

@slayer Hi, If I have installed some non vanilla map, would bandit still spawn on original vanilla maps or they just stop spawning at all?
