V2.5 Survival Revival Dev Diary

If my memory serves me right, zombies don't spawn inside the claim zone, only outside. I could be wrong.

I'm talking about those zombies that should spawn in poi. It was a farm poi 2tier, in which I survived the night. And I didn’t wake up anyone. In the morning I decided to clear out the zombies in this barn, but it was completely empty.

One of my changes is bears fit in 1m wide spaces.

Do they only need 1m in height? I could've sworn they could already squeeze through a 2x1 space like a door. Which I don't think they should be able to.

Which I don't think they should be able to.

In a different thread I posted a video of a REAL bear literally squeezing through a REAL 1x1m hole.
Are you still sure they shouldn't be able to?

I'm wondering if he means the smaller bears. I'm not sure how I will feel if they very large bears are squeezing through a 1 block opening, though there are some very large zombies getting through now that I think about it.

I've got here an internal preview of the bear squeezing through 1x1 blocks from the Experimental version:

I don't see a video, but are the ones in game gonna wiggle their way through, or run full speed like it was nothing? Cause I kinda doubt the bear in your video ran through the hole. And the ones in game are pretty healthy looking bears, so they'd be doing even more wiggling.

Not running, but not a cub either.
Also, if the bear goes through with a special animation like the zombies, it won't be running through the block in the game either.

You wrote that you Place a claim block there, and I'm telling you that zombies won't spawn again in the claim block zone. As the morning comes, many zombies die.
I could be wrong

Should those who sleep in poi also die?

You're pulling his leg, right? ... ... Right?

No joke! Bears are 15% smaller with tweaked colliders, so they do fit in 1m x 2m spaces and can enter doorways. They do have some trouble with turning as they are still long, but they manage in many spaces where they could not go before.

@faatal If you place a land claim block on a location with zombies and wait, they will disappear. Is this supposed to happen? I wanted to report a bug, but it requires a lot of information for such a trivial issue. No mods, version 2.5b32.

Entities have a lifetime, so zombies will despawn after a while. A land claim would then stop new ones from spawning.

They need a 2m height. No, they could not fit in a 1m width before.

Yeah, they couldn't go through doors before. That has saved me a few times, including when a bear decided to come find me upstairs in a POI and I heard it coming and had to run to hide since I was nowhere near capable of fighting it hand to claw. I think that was back when bears were still in the forest and I was low level still.

As faatal said, zombies will eventually despawn. Sometimes that's right at daytime and sometimes it's just on a timer. That includes any zombies that are spawned. Once a land claim is placed, no zombies will spawn within the land claim area, so once the zombies that are inside it despawn, that's the end of them.
