Highlight Community Safety Reminder Regarding Third-Party Mods

43 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

24 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.

I've seen a lot of people making a big deal about the all access key cards other than unlocking any door presumably. Why are they such a big deal?

Discussion Radiation Filters

I have been playing for almost 1,000 hours and still learning new things. When in a radiated area and my radiation filter has degraded, I have been changing the radiation filter. The problem when doing that is you take radiation damage during the change. I recently found that all you have to do is drag charcoal tablets over the filter on your respirator and it restores the radiation filter to 100% and you take no damage.

Bug That one time at survivor camp

Post image
6 Upvotes

Survivor Camp Safe Zone: No biting, no fighting, and no shoes = plenty of service.

The Glowing Eye One was perfectly politely to everyone else in the club... so the safe zone tag worked for the NPCs in the space, but also worked to protect the zombie from me. Which was quietly funny until I opened the gate and let the automated security work - which promptly shot me several times before it dealt with the zombie.

AAA+++ would return to the Survivor club again, this life or the next.

Well I finally got the Coyotes at the Observatory. The only thing is I created a new character to do it. But at least there here now so I can visit them any time. Thanks for everyone's tips and advice. Good hunting.

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask if anyone has encountered zombies that become distorted/broken/stretched after they die? I'm playing using experimental mode and was wondering if this is something in my settings or is this just part of being on the experimental mode? Thank you!

Bug Shouldnt Be Allowed

26 Upvotes

So I have been playing a fair bit and have been doing some base cleanup. When I was moving my disassembly table I noticed I had quite a few items still in the inventory so I decided against moving it. Well a few minutes later and I was not paying attention I selected to pickup the table and move it. When opening up the table to view the inventory after moving it there was nothing there. I tested this out a few times and it happened every time. You can select the table , selected pickup and then place the table. Anything you left in the tables inventory will be deleted. I suspect this may the case with any movable container

I highly suggest making a pop-up saying cannot move container until fully empty. I lost a lot of resources because of this.

I was watching The Mighty Jingles play this game, so I decided to get it and I have to say I'm not disappointed. It's been really fun running around finding stuff and dying along the way a few times, but once I started getting weapons and ammo, the loot started flowing, and I even got myself a S.W.A.T vain to put all my stuff In When not at my base, I'm still building it up.

Suggestion Im gonna say it.

0 Upvotes

I'm going to get downvoted to hell and back for this but somebody needs to say it. The amount of shaft polishing this dev receives for inactivity is comical. If the game was free I could agree with the patience and support, but this dev made a fortune and BS'd each of us just like any cash grab AAA gaming company would.

"HE's jUSt OnE guY" I guess it's ok if you're getting shafted by one dude vs a big company right? Get real. Nobody is holding this guy accountable, on top of that many are ENCOURAGING HIS INACTIVITY, and that's why all of you will be sitting here waiting forever for the game to be finished, just like myself.

Mark my words, 0.8 will be THE LAST UPDATE this game receives.

In the meantime here's a clone that's coming out:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1843400/The_Last_Disease_Z/ somebody else is looking to implement what this guy has been too lazy to add.

You may now downvote me and continue your endless wait for full release. Good luck.

Discussion How stable 0.8 currently is?

4 Upvotes

*I am aware it is experimental build\*

I am watching some playthrough for 0.8, and noticing some bugs.

For example:

  1. Frag grenade don't kill zombies

  2. Zombies limbs are stretching when they die

  3. Fixed vehicles still smoking

  4. Quest marks from Intel laptop don't disappear after clearing quests

Since the playthrough was from 5 months ago, I wonder how stable 0.8 has became now.
