milspec Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Come try Evolution. It runs for 4 real weeks and the zombies evolve every real week. They spread across the map, their senses improve, they get smarter. The server is online 24/7 for 4 real weeks which is almost 2 years in-game. The settings are "mid-core" survival, more immersive than default but not too hard. How long can you survive? This is the first BETA game which ends 06 July.

milspec Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 = Top Ten Changes from Vanilla = 1) There are a few mods that enhance immersion. ORGM (guns) and Armor mod have the biggest impact. ORGM has 50% fewer guns but they are 50% more powerful (than mod default). 2) The server is up 24/7. Sleeping is disabled but endurance regen is slowed down. You will have to stop and rest sometimes. 3) Zombies are randomly weaker or stronger, or more or less resilient. Both Strength and Toughness are random. 4) Zombies start at half the normal population (0.5), but will increase to more than normal population (2.0) after 150 game days / 6 real days. 5) Water will turn off around 84 game days / 3.5 real days. Electricity will turn off around 150 game days / 6 real days. 6) Loot does not respawn. Zombies will repopulate an area slower than normal. 7) Safehouses are turned on, but you need to survive 1 game day / 1 real hour to claim one. They are protected from other players. 8) PvP is turned on all of the time, there is no safety toggle to turn it off. 9) The world is cool, rainy and dark. 10) After the 7th real day zombies will appear outside of cities. After the 14th real day all zombies get improved senses. After the 21st real day random zombies will become smarter and will be able to navigate better - and some can open doors.

milspec Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 A server restart cleared the factions and safehouses. Please re-claim yours when you login. I will work to try and correct this for future restarts, not sure if its a bug or if I need to find a work-around. EDIT: Fixed and tested, will not happen again.

milspec Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 I just made these changes (mid-week, before Evolution) - Lowered auto save interval to 30 mins. You will see brief "saving" message flash. Let me know if too frequent - Fixed one mod: More Edibles - Added two small mods: winter clothes, homemade soap - Reset initial zombie population to default vanilla (was 0.5, is now back to 1.0) - Adjusted respawn rate so an area will be half-full again after 24 real hours. Put another way, if you clear a zone and logoff, if you return one real day later there will be half as many zombies as before you cleared it. If you leave it for 2 real days it will be back to full zombies. - Lowered the frequency of guns in Police, Gun Store, Military to the same 0.5 as all other ORGM frequencies. (This wont have a big impact since many of those locations are already looted.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milspec Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Our first Zombie Evolution happens in 48 real hours, on Mon 18 June. Zombies will "roam", and get longer memories and expand outside of the towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milspec Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Come watch our Zombies Evolve in two real days. They will start to "roam", and get longer memories and expand outside of the towns. Every real week the Zombies evolve, for four real weeks, to slowly increase the challenge on the remaining survivors. We have had 30 players join in the first 3 real days that the server has been running. Come and join them if you are curious: https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/23964-247-evolution-beta-zombies-evolve-every-week-ends-06-july/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milspec Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 The zombies have now evolved. They have longer memories, which means they track players for longer. They appear outside of towns, which means settlements in the farms will no longer be as safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyTJ Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Is this a multiplayer/server thing?
