Been playing off and on for several years, for stretches of each alpha release, and recently did so for alpha 19. Is there any detailed information on how zombies prefer to path, or how they are programmed to think? When i played my most recent game, and day 7 came the zombies did things that were totally unpredictable, which i understand they can do obviously, as they are set to do some random block breaking etc. However the odd thing was almost none of them took the easy path into the core of the base, and the vast majority decided to bash through several walls belligerently, which i found odd. I will supply some images via high tech base rendering software to diagram this.
The black perimeter line is a concrete wall
The red perimeter line is an iron bar wall
The purple building is a reinforced concrete building
The brownish boxes are open entrances into a tunnel, leading directly into the purple building
The blue arrows show where the zombies decided to smash through, totally ignoring the open unobstructed route directly into the reinforced concrete structure.
So, can anyone explain why 90% (an accurate guess, not hyperbole) of the zombies decided to smash through 7,500HP-10,000HP worth of blocks, as opposed to making their way around, taking the unobstructed route tunnel into the purple bunker where i was positioned, and only having to attack 2,500HP-5,000HP worth of block to access me? Regarding random behavior, i would have assumed 90% would have come through the tunnel, and 10% would have beat on some walls, however the opposite was true. I would welcome some analysis to understand their behavior better.
