@@TonttuRacing yes.

@@phoenixmapping932 thanks!

I did not look very hard in the forest when I had zombies enabled, however they were all centered within the compound walls on day 1 without long term migration. And for your second answer, yes. The zombie population is multiple times higher now. There are very easily several thousand in total I suspect it’s shy of 10k but that’s just guess work

@@pythicon961 if you have the map known from start it would be the large blue building west of rosewood deep in the forest

@ awesome thanks I’ll head over in that direction and take a look

Its called military secret base. U have to long ride into the forest without road. U Will booring to ride into that place 😂. And remember, a lot of Zombo's waiting u.

@@abdulrahmanramli9145 yeah I figured that out when I got there kind of sad it didn’t really have any loot

I don't think they'll ever reveal the truth, so fun theories like it's caused by Spiffos can exist

If you look at the second to last floor you can see a large lab complex, it’s my opinion that it’s very important to remember this for theorizing about what happened

@@phoenixmapping932 Sorry if I wasn’t clear there. I meant like they added readable newspapers and stuff, even those ai generated images depicting Ricky J (radio woman bitten) stuck in the shack broadcasting events and the guy who made and leaked the infamous photo of the undead (you can see it in the newspaper). But no lab report saying “uhhh we made an ooopsie my bad gang guess don’t go sniffing air for the rest of your life idk”? Maybe add like patient zero zed in that lab. I know you removed zombies through debug, but my guess is theres no unique or distinct zombies there or zombies with lore loot

Maybe the problem is that it runs on electricity, imagine that it cuts off and you're in it you find yourself blocked. Or else the elevator must always work but suddenly it becomes incoherent

​@@Canelle-d4rEmergency hatches exist for a reason

@@Canelle-d4r Simple things, devs should write in the code "If elexctricity shut off when a player is in the elevator, the elevator still work utile the player is out of it" this is SIMPLE, there is NO excuses, they need to add working elevator in the Vanilla game, it's pretty a shame imo that doesn't work (same for sports equipements) and I am sure that will never be added in 42 or EVER...

@@LoveJupiter325 It's still so inconsistent to have an elevator that works when there is no electricity left 🤣

@@Canelle-d4r You are so cringe

If you look you can see the large lab complex towards the bottom, the fact that this place is infested and has a small contingent of people hiding in the caves makes me agree with this theory. You can also see in a new newspaper that a few days before the infection people in the original exclusion zone were showing up to hospitals with bites. (Gunna need to double check this one) which would imply infected escaped the lab complex and started the outbreak :)

I have a full blown 11 page paper I’ve made on the projectZomboid timeline and this place is even more definitely confirmed

The lack of blood, infected and crucially food suggest otherwise. If the outbreak started here the staff would have been among the first eaten, look at any playthrough of the day one mod to see how messy that gets. In such a scenario no matter how many of them got out at least some would have been left wondering the halls. This place is deserted, the upper level storeroom half the shelves are full of tools and items the other half completely bare, my first thought on seeing that was that the empties were where the long term non-perishable food was stored. Further confirmed by the cold store behind the cookhouse in the lower level also being stripped bare, not a scenario consistent with the outbreak starting here. My money is on when it all kicked off they retreated here, forted up for as long as their food lasted then made a run for it when it became clear help was not coming.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@BikerDingerThe entire base is absolutely crawling with infected wearing hazmat and specialist gear when you go there, infected have just been turned off to show off the layout freely. With the sheer amount of infected you can find inside, I doubt most of their stock would last for long at-all even if only small groups managed to hold off for a couple days after initial infection

You're thinking of the military bunker near one of the southern towns.

Yeah I found that bunker, there weren’t any zombies in it though.

@EricaPape where is it?

@@doctor_uno to find it, I recommend you go into debug mode (there are a lot of tutorials to go into debug mode and it's super easy), and with the map open, open up the options and turn on "basements" and it'll flash red wherever underground areas are, like the military bunker in March Ridge and the LARGE area under the secret military base just east of Rosewood. I also recommend that, while exploring in debug mode, you turn on "invisible" and "god mode"

Thank you for creating such a special gem this community cares for
