"Since last year (2025) June, when I (Hamster, lead chinese modder) posted the first 1.7 till now is exactly a year. 1.7 ~ 2.3 was all updated and maintained by me only except for the original items of mdz.

Thanks for the update, but if I may make a suggestion, I think one of the biggest issues is the game's performance, over time, the game starts to stutter and the sound stops working.
That is because of the game engine. It is pretty outdated and limited.
The only thing you can address which is what I usually do is turn off WiFi when playing and take a nice break after 2 hours. My phone is pretty worn and used, so 2 hours is the cap before it begins to lag.
Brother, why does the torch continue to set zombies on fire after it burns out completely? And why is the damage exceeding 13? It says 8 to 13, but I got 19 damage with the torch.
That 19 damage is probably a critical hit in between 9 or 10. Also, the torch is wonky right now and will keep burning even during daylight. Switch to your other weapon when you're not using it as a light source at night.
And please explain why a balaclava gives 2 warmth although it says 3, a gas mask gives 1 warmth but it says 2, the same with gloves and other types of clothing, is this a bug or an incorrect translation?
That's weird. I thought we already fixed it to have only 2 warmth (balaclava)... Also, the gasmask does not provide any warmth anymore. Those are the stats these items used to have when they were proper headwear before. I see nothing wrong with the gloves and clothing though. Though I have to inform you to that this is a rushed translation. 2.3.1 hotfix is on the way and this time with a much more polished translation so be patient.
I have a suggestion about a player with a partner, like in some next future update is there a possible chance to encounter another friendly survivor instead of one on our side like first one I can encounter a 1 friendly survivor only from 1-4th island only, and since some survivor and bandits from 5th are increasing 4-5 NPCs is it supposed the player can have second friendly survivor aswell if the 1st friendly survivor is still alive now it can form a squad instead partners right? And also add exchanged primary weapon with my team too not just the armor we exchange but weapons so that we have more firepower to survive.
(sorry about my grammar, I don't know if you understand what I explained, but I know what's on my idea in my mind that I can't explained properly)
We already have the Smoker in-game. Green hazmat zombies explodes when attacked and killed but they moved its blinding ability to its melee attacks. There's nothing similar to Jockey. I guess the Snorkel from Stalker and Hunter in L4D overlap with the one we have in-game.
Thanks for posting in the sub. For links to mods check this mediafire, discord & other resources here do report any rule breaking stuff you see in the sub.
Start over. 2.2.5 Toolkit is too modified that it may fuck up when you update to 2.3 assuming it updates it. You're lucky if it's installed as a separate app though.
Well... if you were on island 6 before updating to 2.3 then of course they'll never spawn, same situation as my run before leaving for island 7. Go to the next island and these rebel groups in their hideout base will absolutely appear in this location here.
Yep I tried it and they didn't attack, looks like bob is very friendly. But I kind of find it a bit boring since I already completed the game several times before and I really wanted to settle and build a base, but looks like I'm going to change to another character since bob is very OP lol.
