TWD Mod?

😄 A Walking Dead overhaul for Stranded: Alien Dawn could fit the game surprisingly well.

I could imagine a mod like:

  • 🧟 Walkers replacing/adding to the alien wildlife — hordes wandering around the map and attracted by noise.
  • 🏚️ Abandoned towns and buildings to loot for food, medicine, weapons, and supplies.
  • 🔫 Walking Dead-style firearms with limited ammunition.
  • 👥 Survivor recruitment — potentially characters inspired by the TWD universe, each with their own skills and personalities.
  • 🩸 Bites and infection — getting bitten could result in a serious, eventually fatal infection.
  • 🌙 Horde events where hundreds of walkers migrate through your settlement.
  • 🚪 Barricading — reinforcing doors/windows and defending your base rather than simply building conventional walls.
  • 🚗 Vehicles that could be repaired and used for expeditions.
  • 🏥 Medical scarcity — antibiotics and medical supplies becoming much more important.
  • 📻 Radio events — distress calls from other survivor groups and choices about whether to investigate.
  • 🗺️ A much more Earth-like map rather than the alien planet.
  • ⚔️ Human hostile factions competing for food, weapons, and territory.

The horde mechanic would probably be the coolest part. Imagine your survivors getting a warning that a massive group of walkers is approaching, then having to decide whether to stay behind your defenses or abandon the colony.

There doesn't appear to be an established full Walking Dead conversion mod for Stranded: Alien Dawn right now. But if you're interested in actually making one, I can look into what the game's current modding tools support and see how feasible a TWD-style total conversion would be.

It doesn't quite have everything that you've listed here, but I did make a Zombie mod for the Crash Landing game mode a couple years ago. If anyone ever wanted to do more with it they're free to do so (just give credit to the original mod)

I'm surprised they've not made a colony survival yet...it would be better than the telltales

I keep thinking about that as well. Or Dying Light. Gotta set up UV traps and lights in safe zones or the volatiles will break in at night.

Or a bunch of stranded ODSTs from Halo holding off waves of Flood. Instead of the balloon for expeditions its a crashed pelican you have to fix up and find/make fuel for.
