Well once more I bring you a modlet that will enhance your gameplay by a lot.

Cheers \o/ thanks for the 100 500 600 700 800 1000 (!!!) endorsements everyone, you guys are all awesome, I'm really glad this mod pleases you all !

User zyocuh on Reddit : If you ever see this message, thank you so much for having shared my mod on Reddit, even if it's a simple post on a bigger topic, I haven't an account on Reddit yet, but if you see this, know that this is really cool of you. If you happen to pass by here, come take a cup o' joe.

Reasons : TL;DR : I like to RP when solo playing but there are not enough zombie spawns for my taste, so here you go, choose your version.

In fact, in solo play, I'm not activating Blood Moon Hordes, because alone, I don't find them funny like in multi play with my friends. In solo play, I like to role play, I like to immerge myself in the world, I don't like to prepare for somethign which is programmed like my phone is to wake me to go work (hell I don't like morning alarms they feed the shit me up). I like to take my time, as if I was the producer of some movie or series 'see what I mean ?) and do what I like to do.

As I don't like programmed hordes, I still like the concept of being attacked by hordes, screamer hordes, pitstop hordes, roaming random hordes... be it at home, at "work" pillaging houses or factories, or mining far from home. But I like it random, and the game doesn't offer me random enough hordes nor powerful enough. Usually it will take 20 to 30 seconds to clear those pesky Z and back to work.

And as you can already see, the world is bearly inhabitated, zombies are not common enough, and it's not dangerous at night, or when you walk in town you may encounter one or two, let's say three of four zombies. This is not dangerous. Even at higher levels. I know the dev's did not pushed the spawns because of performance, and it's ok, because what I bring you today, is available in multiple version so you can customize your worlds depending on your computer.

Remarks and FAQ :

- Beware the zombies ! They do pile up like crazy with my mod, because they are numerous. Pay attention to you base they climb each other to pass by your windows and take you by behind !

- Added 31st of July 2024 : If using both mods, merge them ! Put the Config folder of one into the other ! I gave the same name in the modinfo.xml file purely because both mods are in fact only one that is modular as of popular demand in the past ! So merge the mods together !

- You can add this mod mid game, no need to begin a new world for it to take effect. You can also change mid game from one version to another without side effect, other than a adaptation time for the game to understand the new numbers and respawn the right number of zombies. Server side only !

- I know jrbarrio did a mod like this. This IS precisely WHY I did mine. Because, respecting his work, I didn't want the other changes he made, for animals for example, and the respawn time, which I didn't touch (well this may be subject to change soon). I also altered roaming hordes, which he hasn't. I like his mod. And I DLed it. But I wanted more of MY work in MY game. Besides, I used another method than him, this also was to test my skills.

- And I know people are like me, I read Reddit, Steam, 7Days off forum, and even on StackExchange sometimes. I read people wanting to role play without Blood Moon Hordes so yeah, feel free to speak about this mod where you want. Obviously just take your friends to this page, don't reupload this elsewhere, at least without PM me before. I would recognize my work everywhere even transformed so don't try it.

- Another thing is, this mod doesn't touch or alter the Blood Moon Hordes
