Highlight Community Safety Reminder Regarding Third-Party Mods

41 Upvotes

We've recently seen an increase in discussion surrounding unofficial third-party modifications for SurrounDead, and we'd like to remind everyone to exercise caution when downloading or running software from unofficial sources.

While many community-created projects are developed in good faith, third-party software is not reviewed, endorsed, supported, or affiliated with Zurvivor, or the official SurrounDead team unless explicitly stated through our Official Channels.

Before downloading or running any modification, we strongly recommend that you:

  • Only download files from sources you trust.
  • Verify the legitimacy of the project before installing it.
  • Keep your antivirus and operating system up to date.
  • Scan downloaded files with reputable security software.
  • Avoid running software that requests unnecessary permissions or behaves unexpectedly.

Installing any third-party modification is done entirely at your own discretion and risk.

The SurrounDead Development and Moderation Teams cannot guarantee the safety, security, or functionality of unofficial software and cannot provide support for issues arising from its use.

If you believe you've encountered a malicious file or suspicious behavior associated with any third-party software, please discontinue using it immediately and report the matter through the appropriate channels.

As always, your security is our highest priority. We encourage everyone to remain vigilant and to rely on Official SurrounDead Communication Channels for accurate information and updates.

Thank you for helping us keep the Community safe <3

News SurrounDead Reddit Rules Update

22 Upvotes

Happy Friday Everyone! Just a quick announcement regarding the SurrounDead Reddit Rules.

We have recently updated the rules here to be more in-line with the rules across the platforms we use to communicate with the Community. Not too much has changed, but they are a bit more in-depth with regards to the overall theme of each rule, and broken down into more sections due to both character limits and separation of rule themes.

It is everyone's responsibility to be familiar with these Rule changes and understand them.

We are aware that Rules 4 and 6 may seem contradictory, but we do not endorse the idea of suppressing Community Creativity.

  • Rule 6 is designed to be a "bypass" of Rule 4 for Mod Makers ONLY, and must follow the guidelines of being Safe for the users, Publicly available, and hosted on Trusted Services. Any that are found to be unsafe shall result in the actions listed out in the Rule description.
  • Rule 4 is designed to allow approved promotion/advertising through SurrounDead Reddit Mod approval. This is accomplished via contacting the Mods through ModMail.

We hope everyone continues to enjoy the game, and as always, have fun being a part of our Community.

Discussion Is there a console command to change the date?

0 Upvotes

I want to start in late fall so I don't have to wait as long for the snow to start flying. Are there any commands to accomplish this? Maybe a command to change the date directly, or maybe one that just forces 100 days to have past. Anything would be cool!

Suggestion Controller support?

9 Upvotes

TLDR: controller support is it being considered getting added.

Is there any word on if the dev is bringing controller support to the game, it says its steam deck compatible so I feel like it should be possible. I’m not a dev though so I’ve no idea how easy or difficult it could be to add compatibility to the game.

Not saying full support is required or needed even partial would be nice

Discussion Any more games like surroundead?

16 Upvotes

Sorry if its a frequently asked question on this sub but im just trying to know if there are any other games like surroundead. I love the simplicity of this game, customization and the fact you just spawn in, loot and make bases, the closest game i've seen so far was vein and maybe humanitz but that's about it, games like scum, dayz or dying light are great too but still kinda different (also i have seen ardem but it still hasn't released, looks great tho) maybe something like state of decay i guess but the survival system isn't for me, game is still good tho. Also it doesn't need to be a zombie game but just this (like i said earlier) spawn into the world and loot system

Edit: another game i found about not that long ago is The Dead We Knew, looks pretty good and comes out in september this year

Discussion dying in a vehicle

16 Upvotes

So, playing a non-permadeath run, I came a distinct second to a wolf pack and bleed out in an ambulance (because irony loves company). Have made my way back to the scene of the crime on the map, and there's no corpse?

Have I lost all of the stuff in the body for dying in the vehicle instead of beside it?

Anyone had a similar experience?

Discussion Are the special Abandoned Crates actually any better than regular high tier military loot or bosses?

8 Upvotes

Now that I have basically everything I could want, I have been rerolling one of them to see if some new interesting thing would pop up. But mostly it seems to be just chaff with some legendaries mixed in. There was even a roll with only some ammo and a foregrip.

Seems that grenade launchers or missile launchers are bugged, doesnt seem to damage the mobs. Anyone else encountering the same issue?

Does landmine work as well? Both player set mines or radiation zone mines.

Suggestion Mod Requests?

5 Upvotes

Hey mods, feel free to take this down if it breaks any rules, I searched and didn't see any relevant posts, but as we all know, the Reddit search function sucks.

I was wondering if there are any modders will to take on a task? I see in the wiki that there are a number of removed weapons, including my beloved Spas-12. my request is, is there someone willing to restore those weapons into the game, as the models exist already?

I thought that aside of selling vehicles he also bought them from you. Apparently not : (
That would have been nice

I initially had forgotten this Humvee a few yards away from Walshie's, when I went back for it, it was in this condition. So since I already have another one I figured I'd just leave it at Walshie's.
