darthdraken Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I was cycling home from work today and could smell pee soup coming from one of the houses i was passing.I could not id the exact house but knew it came from one of a cluster.Would it be possible if zombies got the smell and became curious?

I hope you meant pea soup and not pee soup. My interpretation of zombies is that the aroma of cooking food would not draw them. They want to eat your flesh. I could see them being attracted by sound and sight and maybe to a limited degree smell if the aroma was human blood. That is my 2c. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on how a zombie should behave and respond to various stimuli. PintLasher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Steel Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I think is comes down to if they can equate stimuli to hunting response for "food", on whatever level they process. Right now if they see people (or maybe just movement in a house) it kicks in the hunter trigger. Same thing for noises and the smell of blood (ie the Bloodhound smell option for Sandbox). We really don't know what else triggers them beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormSurge707 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I don't think they would be able to smell it, and even if they did, I don't think they would care. Zombies are attracted to the smell of blood (maybe flesh too). They don't get curious from other smells non-blood smells, so why should the become curious to the smell of cooking?

ApolloDiaspora Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 If zombies were ever attracted to odd smells, it'd be from curiosity, not knowing strange smell = human = food. That said, Zeds aren't known for there curiosity, so I can't see them being attracted directly by the smell of cooking food. Pulling feral animals and vermin? Sure. Them moving towards the cooking area would make noise/movement that would/could trigger a zombie to follow along until it forgets to do so. Indirectly attracting zombies, in otherwords. On a completely unrelated note, being able to cook pea and ham soup (bacon, bacon bones, lentils) in game would be a nice little feature. One of my favourite foods too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
