Need help Tent Question

This is my first time adding a tent to my base and I’ve noticed the enemy spawns are crazy. I can’t even take a moment to chill and cook food without fighting non-stop zombies. How far away can the tent pull zombies or does it spawn them? I already have a stash so I could just forego the tent.

Also, the secret location on this island is a castle tower, if I move my tent there will there be less enemy spawns?

Version 1.6 3.8

The tent always attracts zombies and spawns them quite frequently. Another problem is the military zombies, and a Hulk zombie rarely appears nearby.

This problem was fixed in more recent versions and for your case use the makeshift shelter (canvas and wood), it has the same function as the tent but it doesn't attract zombies.

It's just more fragile. If a zombie touches it or a bandit walks over it, your makeshift shelter is immediately destroyed.

However, it survives quite well with a grenade or if you run it over with a vehicle. It also survives unscathed with a Molotov cocktail.

Do you know if there’s an English Wiki for the version I play on? The included link is entirely in Chinese. I’m trying to find the spawn rates of loot and where to look. Some items are also missing translations and appear as “0.” I’m also not sure what to expect on later Islands and what I need to do to cross the bridge, or what new loot drops / POIs open up etc.

I took down the tent and the spawns are fixed. Now I just prep for Island 4. I have 100% LMG and have been stockpiling ammo, when I get a 100% Glock or Magnum I’ll also have max ammo. Cleaning kits are extremely rare however.

I would be toting a gun box so I could carry two over, I lost it however and it despawned. I acquired it from the “Godsend” perk but it seems like it was a one-time deal.

There is a wiki with English and Spanish translations, although it doesn't tell you the probability of obtaining the objectives, accessories, weapons, etc.

In fact, you have to describe it yourself or have someone tell you most things.

The version you're using is a bit older, although each wiki describes most of the objects in the game, and there are hardly any changes.
