Relentless Undead Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to enable the mod or does it just work?
The mod works automatically once installed—zombies will immediately start climbing, swimming, and ignoring daylight without any setup. You can customize or disable individual mechanics through the mod's configuration file if you want to adjust difficulty.
How do zombie towers actually work?
Zombies will stack on top of each other to form living towers that can reach platforms you thought were safe. The tower grows taller as more zombies pile up, so a small group can eventually scale surprisingly high walls.
Can I stop zombies from climbing on each other?
Yes, you can toggle the stacking mechanic off in the mod's configuration settings if you find it too difficult or want a different challenge.
Why are zombies still chasing me during the day?
The mod prevents zombies from catching fire in sunlight, so they no longer burn and will hunt you around the clock. Daylight no longer provides safety from undead threats.
Do zombies actually swim after me?
Yes, zombies can now swim through water to pursue you, so water is no longer a reliable escape route. You'll need to use other defensive strategies like vertical distance or enclosed spaces.
What happens when a zombie jumps off a cliff?
Zombies will leap from high ledges without hesitation to chase targets below and take reduced or no fall damage depending on your configuration. This means they can pursue you down ravines and off cliffs without penalty.
Is there a way to make the mod less difficult?
You can customize fall damage settings and toggle individual mechanics (climbing, swimming, daylight immunity, cliff-jumping) on or off in the configuration file to adjust the challenge to your preference.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Large zombie hordes performing complex behaviors like stacking and swimming may impact performance depending on your system, especially if you're already running other mods. Test with smaller groups first to see how your setup handles it.
What's the best base design to defend against these zombies?
Focus on vertical separation (tall walls), enclosed spaces without water access, and overhanging roofs to prevent stacking. Avoid large open courtyards where zombies can form towers, and keep water features away from your perimeter.
Do these changes affect zombie variants like husks or drowned?
The mod primarily targets standard zombies, though behavior may vary depending on the mod version and configuration—check your specific setup or configuration file for details on which undead types are affected.
