Frequently Asked Questions
- Is it safe to add the mod during mid / lategame?
Yes, its absolutely safe, but I would recommend to check the positions of the zones first to avoid getting exposures unexpectedly. I should mention that if loot regeneration is turned off in the game, items will only spawn in unexplored areas, which can make the game much more difficult. It applies also to MP.
- Is the mod compatible / incompatible with other mods?
The mod should not interfere with other mods at all. If you experience this, please share the information in the Discussions / Bug reports section
- Where can I find the import/export feature?
It can be found on the Zone list panel and it's available for server admins only
- Where can I find the file of the exported zones?
It can be found clientside in the Steam workshop mods folder.
- Importing zones feature does not work. How can I import them?
You have to enter the exact filename of your export without the file extension. For example: hz-export-12-06-01-22-12-2023
- Does the import/export function work in multiplayer mode?
Yes it does but you have to be a server admin to do that.
- Why performing a blood test gives inaccurate results?
You have low medical skills probably (First Aid) but readings are indicative only usually
- It says the blood sample is contaminated, why it is happening?
You have low medical skills probably (First Aid)
- How can I use blood test kit if I don't have any level in First Aid skill?
You should read the f manual ^_^"

If you want, you can get the translation to PT BR at the link https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3583609602

Second suggestion for the developer:

Add an option in the Sandbox settings to create visual effects in contaminated areas:

Toxic zones: the closer the player is to the center (epicenter) of the contamination, the denser a green fog becomes, gradually fading until it’s almost imperceptible at the edges of the contaminated area.

Radiation zones: as the player approaches the epicenter, small glowing particles start to appear — similar to fireflies or flickering pixels — becoming more intense near the center and almost disappearing at the outer edges.

Finally, it would be great to include an option that allows any player to see contaminated areas directly on the regular map, if the admin chooses to enable this feature — without needing the military map.

Developer suggestion: allow the admin to create a custom list of map points where contamination events can occur.
When the option “Use random points from the list” is enabled, the game would randomly select only from the locations defined by the admin.

For example, if I want contamination to happen only in military zones, I can add those points to the list.
This way, the random system stays limited to specific areas, preventing contamination in cities or player respawn zones.

Will the radiation decrease after some time?

5 минут побыл в зоне без защиты, и так заболел что неделю запивался всеми препаратами с мода, выпил всю воду с кранов во всем городе, забинтовался как мумия сто раз переболел простудой, в итоге не вылечился и не выдержав слил перса. Очень жестко учитывая то что препараты редкие и они не помогают. А как что крафтить я не нашел, в окне крафта лекарств нет.:steamfacepalm:
