[BUILD 42 NOTE: See below for Build 42 Sandbox Options.]


If you spawn inside a building, the vanilla code should mark the building as your "starting home." It should not be populated with zombies, and you may or may not spawn with a key to the building (random). Spawning on a roof or balcony will not mark the building as a "starting home." This is controlled by the vanilla game code, not this mod.

Spawning outside will use the vanilla zombie spawning code. This mod will not stop you from spawning near zombies outside. I recommend using starting zombie population settings to affect this.

Also note that "Zombie Stories" (scenes with zombies) are scripted to randomly show up in some buildings, which will spawn whether or not the building is tagged as your starting home. Again, these are not affected by this mod. You can turn them off in Sandbox Settings if you desire.

Lastly, there are some buildings and locations within buildings in the game that are not properly tagged as "inside." Again, these are not affected by this mod.

If you have questions or discussion about this, please post them here! Screenshots of locations are always helpful to the discussion.


Build 42 has now added a Sandbox Option to control zombie spawning behavior in your "starting home." This is on the "Zombie" tab and is labeled "Player Spawn Area". You can choose several different options. Please note Build 42 is still in unstable beta mode and I have not tested all of these options.
