Description
Spawn building zombies fast optimizing performances costs.
Problem description in that video.
Ducks' Zombie Building Spawn Fix correction explained in this video.
This mod is a replacement to Ducks' Zombie Building Spawn Fix.
It adds the same improvement but with less drawbacks, see details below.

Technical stuff
  • does one room per cycle and suspends once the cell is fully woken up.
  • continues when the size increases (when new rooms are loaded). The trick is: the size never decreases.
  • as a primary consequence: the peak cost is only one room's cost. (instead of many as it occures a lot that many pop in one cycle) => that's what reduces / removes the stutters.
  • as a consequence: each room is only requested once. (instead of constantly)
  • as a consequence: long time server runs bigroom list is not a problem as the room list is never parsed.
  • Mimic Vanilla behaviour to avoid spawning Zombies in the player's spawning building.
  • Mimic Vanilla behaviour to avoid spawning Zombies in specific 'empty' rooms.

Remaining drawback
  • Spawning zombies faster than vanilla will increase the CPU load. So you have to choose between that CPU cost increase and the risk of last second zombie spawn as described in the video.

Non technical stuff

Going through debugging on a dedicated server, this mod appears to not function in our B41 dedicated server, vanilla spawn mechanics are taking place. Ducks mod still functions however but don't want to deal with spawning in cleared buildings or ontop of people. Is a shame.

Fixed in B42.12.1

What I've done when going through Echo Creek is I'll just disable the mod before I get too close.

Still haven't had issues anywhere else yet.

Same issue here

Heya, I love this mod, it really changes the way this game feels.

I've noticed that since 42.12, the game crashes with this mod specifically in Echo Creek. I tried poking around the code but couldn't figure it out. Everywhere else seems to work fine.

so i think even if you lower zombie population, this mod will still spawn so many zombies indoors. I set my zombie pop to 0.20 but some buildings would have 100+ zombies in them like an apartment complex.

I have the last of us infected mod

No zombies spawns in normal homes/houses. Is this normal?

@DrNilsson You can use any setting you want, this mod will only changes how INDOORS spawn works. It doesn't change anything else.
