== Combat/Damage System == === [[Block Damage]] === * Block Damage determines how much damage a [[:Category:Weapon|weapon]] or [[:Category:Tool|tool]] will do to a block. * Every weapon and tool lists how much damage it does to blocks. This damage is determined primarily by the item's [[Quality]]. === [[Entity Damage]] === * Entity Damage determines how much damage a [[:Category:Weapon|weapon]] or [[:Category:Tool|tool]] will do to a player, [[Zombie]], or [[Animal]]. * Every weapon and tool lists how much damage it does to entities. This damage is determined primarily by the item's [[Quality]]. === [[Stealth System]] === * Stealth allows the player to be quieter, making it harder for zombies to hear the player's movements and actions. * When in stealth, actions like mining or looting are quieter. * The first attack done to a zombie while in stealth does extra damage. Any further attacks, even if the zombie did not detect the player attacking, will not result in increased damage. * Stealth cannot be used when creatures are already aware of you. This includes special events like the blood moon where a horde of zombies is triggered to attack you. === [[Heatmap]] === * The heatmap is an invisible mechanic that controls zombie spawns around areas the players are most active. * There are a lot of things that can increase the heatmap: using [[firearms]], [[explosives]], or buildings like a [[forge]] or [[torch]]. * When the heatmap becomes very high, random [[screamer]]s will start spawning and attempt to find the character. Usually, this results in a small horde once the screamer detects the player and screams. * Chopping trees, mining rocks, or digging up the ground also increases the heat map. * Small things like opening doors, jumping, falling more than one block, or standing in an area for a period of time can also increase the heat map. === [[Dismemberment]] === * Dismemberment allows the player to dismember zombies and most animals by doing damage to their limbs and head. * Dismembering a certain body part has different effects on zombies.
