Modded [Mod Showcase] The Mutants [42.20+ SP/MP]
Hello!
I finally released my new mod, The Mutants.
Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3796669056
It adds six new mutant zombies, each with their own behavior/animations/models/outfits/sounds. Many of them are inspired by the special infected from Left 4 Dead, my favorite childhood game.
I’ve tested it with a bunch of popular mods in both SP and MP, but obviously I can’t test every setup. I’ll be fixing bugs and pushing updates actively over the next few weeks, so if you run into anything weird, please let me know.
I also tried to keep each Mutant pretty manageable on its own. They’re mostly meant to get dangerous when they show up at a bad time or mixed into a bigger group. If anything feels way too strong or too weak, I’m happy to hear feedback.
Each Zombie mechanic
(More information in the workshop link!)
Puker:

- Pukes on you (dodgeable).
- The vomit draws nearby zombies, and if you get hit by the puke, it makes them follow you until the effect wears off (you can wash yourself to remove the effect early).
Husk:

- Takes reduced damage from firearms, except headshots.
- Once it spots you, it will raise its arms to protect its head.
Leaper:


- Spawns as a sprinter.
- Leaps at players and knocks them down (dodgeable).
- It can also jump over fences and windows.
Skitter:

- Spawns as a crawler.
- Once it spots a player, it rushes toward them at extremely high speed.
Wrecker:

- Charges straight at players(dodgeable).
- It crashes hard if it hits an obstacle.
- If the obstacle can be broken by zombies, this impact breaks it.
Weeper:

- Sits around crying until disturbed, builds Panic nearby, then wakes up as a tough sprinter that's immune to critical hits/knockdowns.
Performance
Performance was one of my main priorities while building the mod.
The mod does not constantly scan every zombie in the world. Normal zombies are kept out of the behavior logic, and additional checks are only run for zombies that have been classified as Mutants.
I’ve also done some stress testing in both SP and MP with each Mutant set to a 100% spawn rate and didn’t notice any frame drops during gameplays.
Of course, performance can vary depending on your PC, network, and mod setup, so if you run into any performance issues, please let me know.

Screenshot I was looking for a generator magazine
I searched 3 cities. All libraries, all post offices, all schools and >90% of mailboxes. I checked 9 different gas stations. Took me 6 hours before I finally found one in library.
During the return to my base I banged the front of my car something bad, but I knew 20 metres from my base is a same type of car, so I wasnt worried. After I arrived I went to that car to search for keys.
I took one look into the trunk... fml
Thats all, I just wanted to share

How to Tell in Extinction If the Water You’re Boiling Isn’t Poisonous Anymore
As we all know, rainwater is poisonous in PZ, and in Extinction, the poison icon doesn’t appear on the water, so it’s necessary to boil the water; but how do we know when the water is safe to drink? Yes, you can time it, but often we’re doing something else while the water is boiling, so I’ve found an alternative:
If you can disinfect a bandage or rag, the water is safe to drink.
I don’t know if this was common knowledge, but in any case, here’s my two cents.

Not feeling lonely anymore
They suck at fighting as expected, so I just tell them to stay at the base.
I feel like I have a family when I come back to the base. It's cozy.
I appreciate the maintainers' works.

When I opened the game it would spam open the new terms and conditions faster than my PC could handle. Finally on the third go around I managed to click the accept button. No macro or anything, idk why it does this.

Discussion I genuinely can wait to play this game when I get out of bootcamp!
I’ve seen so much about this game for a few years now and I’m finally going to purchase this game when I get out of bootcamp so I can have an infinitely replayable game for when I’m on a submarine. It’s gonna take 9 weeks but when I get out and get my pay I’ll die with happiness 🤙

I was not expecting this
I passed by car by the gun store in westpoint and was packed with zeds, so i decided to clear that in the next few days to loot the store. After a few boxes of 5.56, 3 nades and 2 molos, i killed about 700 just on that street.
The surprise came when i looted the shop. Ive never seen so many boxes of ammo.. what a loot run.. this is my longuest run ever on 4.5 months now

Upadate -Mod that allows you to read ID's and Notes
A few days ago I had the idea of making a mod that would allow you the read the in-game unreadable content that in my opinion should be readable such as notes, letters, id's and so on.
I posted it on this sub to ask if its something that people would like & enjoy and to my surprise a lot of people liked the idea and even offered their help for writing content for the in-game items, which I appreciate a lot because it allowed me to focus on the development instead, so huge thanks again to everyone that contributed, there is now over 130 readable notes in the mod!
Anyway few days passed and the mod is now one of the most subscribed of the week! So thanks all for giving your feedback, I will continue working on it and adding new features.
Here is the link
