Day One 2.0 (Bandits)

heads up: Day One is now totally technically revamped. You can read more in release notes.

Day One is a prelude that immerses you in the first day of the zombie apocalypse. Picture yourself amidst the initial chaos as the dead begin to rise. People are scattered, desperately seeking safety or fighting for their lives. Violence intensifies until the government, in a final attempt to restore order, resorts to extreme measures to contain the virus.

After 24 hours — if you survive — the chaos will subside, but the world will be drastically different. This marks the beginning of your journey in a collapsed world.

This mod is brutal and fairly hard. If you are looking for a challenging and very immersive start, you may like it.

It is compatible with both single-player and multiplayer modes.

sorry for caps, but some people don't read otherwise. This cannot be patched.

• You should always start a new game with this mod. Adding this mod to an existing save or server after the first day of the apocalypse has passed will not work. In multiplayer, it is advised that all players start simultaneously to experience the events together.
  
• Although all events in this mod run from a predefined schedule, every start experience will be different because starting parameters have huge impact on how the game progresses. If you want chaos as this mod promises, you should start in the city with high population. It's best to create a sandbox game with population factor 1.5 - 2.5. You can also add more cars.
  
• Starting day and hour should be default. Day length should be set to 1 hour (2 hours is acceptable but will make things a lot less intense), other options not recommended.
  
• You can tune intensity of some of the features of this mod in the sandbox settings. Mod must be enabled in the game itself to see sandbox option.

Initially all spawned NPCs are friendly unless attacked by the player. This includes various civilians and government forces. However, after some time you will encounter hostile groups such as inmate escapees, criminals or even psychiatric hospital patients. Your job is simply to survive but also to be prepared for facing the enemy which may find you[/b].

This mod utilizes the Bandits mod as an NPC engine to introduce non-zombie characters to the game. The compatibility of this mod is practically identical as the Bandits mod compatibility. If you run into errors, check Bandits mod guidebook compatibility section.

There is a lot of action, the performance may be impacted, but on a decent PC it should work. The performance will mainly depend on the starting zombie population size.
