Hello there I just bought Project Zomboid a few days ago and first things first. I absolutely love the potential this game have and even the gameplay it offers just by a alpha version! So big props to the devs. I have been lurking the forums the last couple of days and especially this thread, because I have been experiencing the same, I'm still not sure about the whole horde spawning next to me, but I have seen some hordes seemingly come from nowhere pretty much every playthrou. Not only that but at the current state, even though I make safehouses way to the south/east of town, hordes just seem to home pigeon on my safehouses only after a couple of nights sleep, making it pretty much impossible for me to stay in one location more than a few days time. It happens even pretty early in the game almost from the start of a new survival playthrough. My understanding of it so far seems that there is a pretty sadistic AI director, but it seems a taaaad too much, at least for my liking. I just wanted to let u guys know my experience and seems like other people are suffering a bit from it too, so hopefully it can get recognized.
