FAQ

## Gameplay

### Is this a KOS server?

No. PVP is always on, but there must be a valid RP reason before you kill someone. Running away from a hostile interaction is a valid reason to get shot in the back. Robbing someone has its own rules, see the Advanced rules.

### I tried to sell something but I didn't receive my money!

You didn't link your PDA. Open your inventory, right click on your PDA, then click "link"

### What are the Loot settings?

Loot is set to insanely low, and respawns every 6 hours, provided nobody has been in that cell for the past hour. Try moving further away from spawn if you have trouble finding what you need. Keep in mind that people always loot around the Community Center (where you spawn)

### What's the zombie pop like?

During the day, 94% fast shamblers, 6% sprinters. During the night, 52% fast shamblers, 48% sprinters.

### Why are there so many sprinters?

Nights are extremely dangerous. Find shelter until morning, there will be 87,5% fewer sprinters. You can usually be safe at the Community Center (where you first spawned)

### How do I make a safehouse?

Pick a home, them right click and click "Claim Safehouse".

If you want a safehouse that is a hotel, apartment, or non residential building, then you are limited to a 10x10 space

### How do I join a faction?

*see also: Factions*

Contact them on ⁠⁠the PDA feed on Discord or meet them in game. They will tell you what to do next.

### Can I leave Raven Creek?

Yes, but you will need a gas mask and a respirator with a filter in it. Do note that some gas masks are modded and do not accept filters: those will not work.

### I am about to buy a vehicle. Is there something important I should know?

YES! Sadly due to the mod providing this function being slightly outdated, the vehicle always comes with a depleted battery. Make sure you have a screwdriver or the means to acquire one, as well as a new battery, before you purchase your vehicle.

### Do I get rewards for killing alot of zombies?

To reward players who valiantly clears the streets of Corrupted and survives for an extended period, we will be issuing trait bonuses to the character.

These traits will not be refunded, nor will they be re-honored upon ANY KIND of death - you will have to earn them again. The rewards below are subject to change.

## Server Problems

### Server isn't responding

Either the server is restarting, or the info you entered is wrong

### I'm having other issues/errors when trying to connect

Very likely a mod isn't working properly. You can always do what I call the nuclear option:

* Close your game
* On Steam, open the workshop
* Click Browse > Subscribed items
* On the right under your username, click Unsubscribe from all
* On your computer, go to the folder where your mods are installed (default C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600)
* Delete everything in that folder.
* Connect to the server and let it download mods again

### Help! When I logged in it's making me create a new character even though I already had one/I think I

You're probably fine, and tried to log in when the server was restarting. Just relog without creating a new character.

### I'm having issues/concerns about FPS

Download this and follow the instructions.

### Workshop item different from the server

You tried to log in when a mod was updated but before the server updated. When you see that message, the server will go down and be back up in 15min max.

### Do we need this many mods? Takes a while to download

Our mod selection was built by the community over time. We understand that it might be daunting to download, but if you feel like some mods aren't quite needed. Post some feedback on Discord.
