Zomboid Change Sandbox Settings ingame?

[Majestic]

Hello, is there a way or Mod for Zomboid with i can change Ingame the Sandbox settings & zombie population "without starting a New Game"?

 

Because it's very, very annoying to start everytime a whole New Game after i have already built a Base and then notice i set the settings wrong, or the Zombies are to less, or the difficulty is way to easy etc.

 

Best Regards

No, unfortunately,you have to start a new game.

If anyone knows how to do this, please, correct me.

It's odd because every time I continue a game after dying, it shows me the world settings again, but of course any changes don't actually take effect.

try these two files:

 

C:>Users>(Username)>Zomboid>Saves>Sandbox>(Character Folder of Your Choice)>erosion

 

and

 

C:>Users>(Username)>Zomboid>Saves>Sandbox>(Character Folder of Your Choice)>zombies

 

(However that last file is super hard to use since its a big block of text, making it hard to understand which values to change. I reorganized it here if you want to use an easier to use format instead, or at least to reference which values to change.)

 

I don't think you can change things like time of day, loot rarity, xp bonus, etc. But you should be able to adjust the erosion and zombie settings...I think...

What couldn't you change?

 

If for instance you want to lower the zombie population just change:

 

Population Multiplayer = 2

 

to

 

Population Multiplayer = 1

 

vice versa if you want to raise it.

Ok but i changed before i start a New Game my Zombie population on 3.0

So why is the Zombie Population setting in the Folder 2.0 and not 3.0 etc.?

 

I think that's the default Settings who i can't change for the Game.

Could be that there is no 3.0 option for the zombie population? I am not entirely sure that you can enter any variable you want for certain settings.
