15. #15Knox Countyconstantselective

    Where are we?

    The modern-day Knox County is where the events of Project Zomboid take place, riddled with dangerous zombie hordes as far as the eye can see and no known survivors.

    Heavily based on the real-world area around Fort Knox and Louisville in northern Kentucky, USA, Knox Country contains many abandoned real-world places such as Louisville, Valley Station, Muldraugh, West Point, Beverly's Mobile Home Park, Lickskillet, and the Fort Knox military housing. There are also some entirely fictional towns within Project Zomboid, including Rosewood and Riverside.

    Knox County was just your standard, peaceful countryside region until it became ground zero for an outbreak of a mysterious illness that reanimates infected persons into zombies, later coined the Knox Infection. Fearing further spread, the U.S. government designated Knox County as an exclusion zone, quarantined the area, and prevented any information from reaching the outside world. However, the Knox Event had nevertheless spread past Knox County and across the planet.

    Knox Event

    The Knox Event is used to refer to the zombie outbreak that occurs prior to and throughout the scenario. The event first takes place around Muldraugh and West Point, Kentucky. The incident is considered to have begun on the 4th of July 1993, which is also known as Independence Day, or the Fourth of July. Just two days later the military evacuated residences from around the affected area and set up blockades in what is now known as the Knox Evacuation. The affected area is designated the Exclusion Zone, with the primary camp being south of Louisville.

    It should be noted that while it shows signs of post Louisville border collapse, judging by breaches in the fence, as well as looted shops, barricaded buildings, etc. There were also signs of commuters still living their normal lives, like shopping, full of goods stores and crowded places of recreation. As of recently, all sightings have stopped.

31. #31# Zombieselective

    Keys: Zombie, Zed, Infected, Dead

    Zombies

    Zombies (also referred to as zed, infected and dead) are the main antagonists in Project Zomboid. These once-human citizens of Knox County roam the landscape in the thousands. They have an insatiable hunger for human flesh and will not hesitate to kill.

    Survivors therefore must stay alert and be aware of their surroundings, as luck will not always be on their side and zombies will not always announce their arrival.

32. #32## Behaviorselective

    Keys: Zombie, Zed, Infected, Dead · Secondary: see, hear, radio, speak, yell, noise, running, walking, gunfire, eyesight, heard, feast, shoot

    Zombie Behavior

    Zombies rely on their eyesight and hearing. They're especially drawn to noises such as radios, running vehicles and gunfire. If they hear a noise behind them, they will first look behind and turn around afterward. Zombies prioritize their pathfinding: the sight of prey attracts them first and foremost. With no human flesh in sight, noise is the next priority, regardless of whether it is man-made or not (e.g., thunder).

    Some zombies can be seen sitting against walls. This gives survivors an easier opportunity of killing that zombie or safely getting past, due to the zombie having to stand up before it can attack.

    When someone dies next to zombies, the zeds will kneel down and begin to eat their corpse. Zombies can also occasionally be found feasting on a corpse, giving survivors an easier chance of slipping past or killing the zombies.

33. #33## Hordeselective

    Keys: Zombie, Zed, Infected, Dead · Secondary: Horde, Hoard, Swarm, Mass, Helicopter, Bark, Gunshot, Bang

    Hordes

    Zombies tend to roam in hordes, with one of those zombies being the designated horde leader. The zombies in that horde will follow that leader around. Zombie hordes are the most dangerous and are best avoided at all costs.

    At irregular intervals, events outside your control will cause zombies to migrate en-masse. For example, a helicopter might fly overhead, a dog may bark, or gunshots may be fired in the distance by an unseen survivor.

34. #34## Combat and Damageselective

    Keys: Zombie, Zed, Infected, Dead · Secondary: attack, grab, bite, scratch, lacerate, laceration, infect, door, wall, consume, pound, barricade, smash, groan, guttural, shuffling, shuffle, vault, leap, lunge

    Combat and damage

    Zombies attack their prey by approaching and attempting to grab and bite. These attacks hinder the victim's movement.

    Attacks by zombies cause three kinds of injury: bites, scratches and lacerations. Bites are the gravest and inevitably lead to the death and zombification of the subject. While none of these spells certain death, they remain dangerous as there is still a chance of contracting the infection (7% for scratches, 25% for lacerations) and slowly succumbing to the disease.

    While injuring the living is usually the primary concern, zombies also damage inanimate objects such as doors and walls. There is a small chance the zombies will lose aggravation on structures if they don't have any reason to go through them.

    On seeing prey, zombies' attack strategy is very straightforward: they simply take the most direct path to grab and consume them. This does not always correspond to the stealthiest approach and can often be quite noisy: brushing through vegetation, pounding on doors or barricades, or smashing through windows. They also tend to groan and produce other guttural noises on seeing prey, which can sometimes betray their presence. Despite this, zombies' shuffling movements tend not to make much noise of their own.

    Larger groups of zombies gain the ability to grab and pull down their prey for feeding. Zombies can also vault over fences, falling to the ground and briefly granting a window for the survivor to attack or escape before they get back up. Should the zed choose to attack, survivors should be wary of staying too close to the fence as zombies vaulting over them can also perform a lunge attack that is capable of knocking people off balance or even to the ground, injuring them.

35. #35# Knox Infectionselective

    Keys: Knox Infection, Infected, Dead, Bit, Scratch, Lacerate, Laceration

    Knox Infection

    Survivors that get attacked by zombies may be bitten, scratched, or otherwise injured. Bites guarantee contracting the infection, but there is only a 7% chance when scratched zombie and a 25% chance when lacerated by a zombie.

    If the survivor has the thick-skinned trait, they have a 15% chance of being scratched. There is always a 25% chance of being bitten.

    When someone has the Knox Infection, they will develop a full-blown fever over time and will eventually succumb to it over the course of a few days. Once an infected survivor's health reaches zero, the survivor will remain dead for a short period of time before reanimating and standing back up as a bloodthirsty zombie.
