Starving Zombies [B42]
—> B42 only! <—
What does this mod do?
- Attracts zombies to dead bodies (animals included), and makes them eat them.
- Attracts zombies to the player.
How does this mod work?
- It simulates smell emitted by dead bodies.
- It simulates smell emitted by the player, blood that is on the player, and on items in the player’s inventory.
- It utilises the wind speed to extend the distance smell travels.
- It utilises the wind direction to determine if zombies can smell the dead bodies/player.
- Smell also radiates in a circle around dead bodies / the player (unaffected by wind).
- It does not use sound events, so only zombies in the loaded world (active cell) are affected.
- It does not spawn zombies, except, a single frame zombie which is used to create a skeleton.
Is it configurable?
Yes.
Save game compatible?
Yes.
Compatible with Wandering Zombies?
Yes. I recommend the pairing.. and it’s not just because I’m biased since I made Wandering Zombies.
Potential features to come
- Temperature having an effect on the smell emitted by dead bodies.
- Rain dampening the smell of dead bodies.
- Cologne/Perfume/Soap masking the player’s smell.
