Ranzie’s Overgrown Cities Addon FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
I added the addon but no cities are showing up. What am I doing wrong?
Open your world options and turn on Experimental Settings, because the add-on may not work without them. Then explore away from areas you've already loaded, since structures generally only appear in newly generated terrain.
Do I need to make a new world for overgrown cities to spawn?
Not necessarily, but cities can only generate in chunks that haven't been created yet. In an existing world, travel well beyond the areas you've already explored. A fresh world is the most reliable way to see them.
How do I find an abandoned city?
Explore the world. The cities are massive, so watch the horizon for tall ruined buildings breaking up the treeline and for streets choked with trees and vines.
Where is the gun loot in the overgrown cities?
The valuable loot is inside the detailed buildings, not out on the streets. Go into the ruined structures and check them room by room to scavenge guns and useful items.
Do I need a gun addon for the gun loot to work?
The add-on is built to work alongside weapon add-ons such as EAC Reboot, Aplok Guns, Krep's tacZ Port, and Advance Tactical Gear. Run one of those with it so the gun loot fits into a working weapon setup.
Does this addon add zombies?
The add-on focuses on the overgrown cities and the loot inside them. For a full zombie apocalypse, pair it with zombie survival content like Rise and Survive, which turns the ruins into dangerous scavenging zones.
What's the best addon combo for a zombie apocalypse world with this?
Use this add-on for the ruined cities and loot. Add a compatible weapon pack like EAC Reboot, Aplok Guns, Krep's tacZ Port, or Advance Tactical Gear, plus Rise and Survive for the zombie threat. Turn on Experimental Settings so everything loads properly.
Why are the cities so hard to move through?
That's intentional. The cities have been reclaimed by nature, so trees, vines, and decay overtake the streets and buildings. Expect to climb, cut, or route around vegetation, which makes escaping from danger harder.
How do I scavenge buildings without dying?
Treat every ruined structure as a high-risk zone. Clear one building at a time, keep an exit route through the overgrowth in mind, and don't push deeper with low health or a full inventory. This matters most when a zombie add-on is active.
Will the overgrown cities lag my game?
The cities are massive and packed with dense trees, vines, and foliage, so weaker devices may slow down when one loads in. If it stutters, lower your render distance before heading into a city.
