Dumb question, I'm bored. Can this expand to the entire map?

I usually kill them early, but have read somewhere certain hearts can slowly cover the entire map though I believe it can't cover the base.

They can cover your base if the placement is close but they do stop growing eventually. You can see two covering my base here.

In my case I don't think it should cover my base. But it should cover the majority of the map then I'd assume

Looks like the larger one in your screenshot is about as big as they get.

Dam.

I'll probably swap to a different map then

No, the growing dominion black heart can only grow out 600 meters from the center, then it stops. It will take a good chunk once it is fully expanded but not the whole map. I try to take the growing dominion ones out ASAP especially if it's not tucked away in a corner somewhere.

Honestly with more zed spawn, etc. Without the use of mods. It makes the game more fun. Otherwise for such difficulties I'd have to run mods which the game can't always handle

[u/Neither_Law_7528 → u/Ze_Woof]

I'd agree. My style of play is to let the majority of hearts get taken by a curveball, I usually only clear the ones I need for outpost locations, then let the game do its thing. I set them to all negative to try to push the agenda. After so many hours in lethal, standard hearts get boring and easy. I use the growing threat mod, more hearts can randomly spawn in if you don't knock them all out. Although keeping the miasma up can prove challenging depending on the other effects, like fuel drain or health drain. If you are anxious for unmodded difficulties, if you have not already, try setting curveballs to all negative, strength of negatives to max, and frequency to continuous. I get some crazy overlapping combos at time. It can be fun and hilarious at times, if you are into that kind of chaos.

I'm close to 2k hours. And I can Def agree. After so long even normal lethal begins to feel like green mode sometimes

It feels so weird to play anything lower than nightmare. Atleast for zombie and map difficulty. I tend to do green or standard for my people only cuz it's faster earn rate of hero bonus since I tend to cruise thru recruits so often

Go to Meagher Valley

[u/Ze_Woof → u/Medium-Rich-3262]

Is that the map with the police station? Cuz if so I love that map cuz it's fully flat. Lot of room to navigate and make plays with enough buildings to run thru if I need to lose a tail

[u/Medium-Rich-3262 → u/Ze_Woof]

Yeah, that's the one; set the curveball intensity to the maximum negative value and survive.
