Hi all,

By popular demand, I have begun testing a B42-exclusive "challenge map" where the player character is able to spawn inside a cell in one of the major prisons.

So far, changing the settings of "Player Spawn Area" in the sandbox options is still not enabling zombie spawns inside the building along with the player. This is even after selecting "Zombies can spawn anywhere" as well as "Insane" population multipliers. The maximum number of zombies I have found inside the actual building walls is 2, after multiple test runs.

If and when I manage to implement this feature, I will update you guys here.

I don't want to rely on external mod compatibility to enable this feature, and I don't want to risk additional bugs to the core experience by increasing the code's complexity too much. Unless I can find a simple way to enable this, I will probably wait to implement it a later date when B42 is more stable.

If you have any questions or suggestions on this topic, please post them below on this thread.

Thanks for your understanding and support!


Update 1: Ran tests at Brandenburg and Louisville prisons and obtained the same disappointing result. Tried to force the sandbox setting via code but that doesn't seem to work either. I have checked some mods that get around this in B41, but they seem to just create artificial zombie spawns at player location. I would much rather enable this via the game's own spawning logic. Will continue working on this and update you guys here.
