[B41] Zombies React Apathetically to Players on the Opposite Side of Transparent Tall Fences

[Okamikurainya]

As the title suggests, they'll growl and moan and hiss in reaction to the player, but they'll remain rooted to the spot.
IIRC, in previous versions they'd follow the player along the fence or path around it if easily available... Now they register that they've detected the player but make no move towards them.

It always worked like that, if they can get you they go for you even if the entrance is like 30 tiles away, if the entrance is too far or blocked then they'll do what you described.

 

It's just an issue with pathfinding, can't find path then don't move.

In my experience some will plan a path around, a quite elaborate one I might add, and others will just keep on banging. 
 

I’d suggest you check out the aforementioned thread, as people bring up some good points regarding this zombie pathfinding situation.

Not "always"... I used to have a base south of Dixie built around the concept that zombies would still try to walk directly at you, allowing you to pick them off through the fence.




Which makes sense for an insatiable and stupid killing machine and leads to situations like that seen in the Prison saga of The Walking Dead.

i thinks they must trying to catch me even through transparent fence. but if it grid fence i should be unable to attack them with heavy weapon, maybe only spears and stubs.
