Wandering Zombies

Exact details of wander opportunities
Lone zombies and hordes can be adjusted to wander randomly based on ticks, but I cannot infer if the cooldown is per zombie/horde or a global counter

If I had hordes wander once every 24 hours, does exactly one horde wander every 24 hours, or does each horde have its own 24 hour cooldown to wander?

The cooldown is individual to each zombie/horde.

In the WIP version, it's a little more complicated:
  • Each lone zombie has their own cooldown.
  • Each leader of a horde has their own cooldown.
  • Each follower in a horde has a short hardcoded cooldown that is used for less robotic movement: they randomly wander around the leader, and follow the leader based on this cooldown, so they don't all start moving at once when the leader does. There's also a dynamic chance involved, if the follower moves too often, the chance to move decreases, if it hasn't moved for awhile, the chance increases.

Thank you for the clarification, I have just one last question if you don't mind

Does merging hordes reset the tick count? Say a horde is at 18 ticks and merges with another, does it retain its 18 ticks or reset to 0?

Thank you for the cool mod I really like it
