Congratulations on beating such a large game!!! ᓚᘏᗢ
I had to look at the store page on Steam. It’s a big colony sim? I’m assuming you like it, what about it is addicting enough to play 100+ hours?

It not THAT large, HLTB says it’s like 30-40 hours, and it’s not that addicting. But I did a couple of replays, restarting from the very beginning for the best ending (it’s quite difficult to get and requires multiple steps throughout the game, starting early on). And I played on the highest difficulty, which sometimes required reloading earlier saves due to me failing miserably :D

Out of curiosity, can you make large/medium safe zones or do zombies spawn everywhere and it’s RNG heavy?

Basically, the zombies spawn in any “unclaimed” map tile, and they accumulate to larger numbers over time. If you don’t wipe them out periodically from your borders (or don’t expand fast enough), you’re in trouble. The fort’s borders have to neighbor either the edge of the map (forests/hills), a river, or another faction, to be safe (assuming you’re not at war with said faction). Since you’re dropped in a random map seed, sometimes you can get a really shitty placement (especially in larger cities).

As I mentioned in the comment above, it’s really not that big a game, I brought this on myself :D
