A Hardcore and realistic Zone Overhaul with many quality of life and gameplay changes making the game more immersive and hard so you can feel the tension of surviving in Zone everyday.it's for people that want more realistic and harder than vanilla experience while keeping it reasonable and not spawning enemies in your face every 30 seconds.

All the changes and features in the mod I do manually by myself.
