I'm not sure if this is a bug or an intended feature (hopefully not the latter), but for the past two horde nights (28 and 35), I have had zombies spawn inside the POI I set up my base on. I play with 2 other people (not on a dedicated server), and we set up a wall around the POI. The POI itself was not big, about the size of a standard house POI. The wall was built around 2-5 blocks from the POI itself surrounding it so that we can fight the zombies from the wall. We placed our bedrolls in our rooms in the house's second floor and even did some renovating to make the place more homely.
Day 28 horde begins, and we're on the wall. Yet within 5 minutes, we notice that there are not as many zombies spawning outside the wall as expected (it was set to 24 zombie hordes). We turn around and see zombies spawning on the roof of the house and in the garden, beating their way out of the wall that's part of the POI to us. We kill those zombies, but they keep spawning inside the POI. We spent most of that night alternating between fighting the horde outside and then fighting the horde that was spawning inside our home.
With that in mind, we prepared for the Day 35 horde. We had one of us go into a tower that was built on top of the POI, so that they can (presumably) deny the spawning of zombies in our house. Our logic was that zombies cannot spawn within a certain distance from the players. The other two of us were on the wall as usual. The horde night begins, and this time, again, they start to spawn inside the POI. It was even worse than last time, with a higher percentage of zombies spawning inside the house itself (whereas last time they only spawned on the roof and in the yard). They then had different intentions, as some tried to get to us on the wall, while others tried to get to the player in the tower. He ended up having to get down from the tower and fight them on the stairs inside the house, and all the time while zombies were still spawning inside the yard. With a player at the stairs in the center of the house, zombies finally stopped spawning inside our rooms, but were still spawning inside the outer wall.
Again, not sure if this is intended or not, but in my opinion, it should not happen, as previously, in our last save on Alpha 18, a similarly sized wall structure was built (not around a POI that time), and zombies never spawned inside the wall during horde nights.
Sorry if this is a bit of a rant, but I wanted to get other people's opinion on this matter.
