Ducks' Zombie Building Spawn Fix

Description
In Zomboid, zombies inside of buildings are only spawned if you're within a close radius of the building and have visible sight into the building. This means that you can be making as much noise as possible and not draw out any zombies from inside the building, which can be quite the annoyance if you're trying to clear out the bloc. This mod fixes this issue by making it so zombies inside of buildings are spawned in as soon as the building is loaded in.

This does not increase or decrease the amount of zombies in the world, but you may notice an increase of zombies due to the fact you're spawning in zombies from buildings the moment you load in the building. Building spawns are not affected by zombie respawns (as far as I'm aware, at least) so you don't have to worry about zombies respawning in them either.*

*There is one single caveat to this: If you haven't explored the roof of your base or a building it's possible that there's un-spawned zombies waiting there that will then be spawned in with this mod. Welcome to Zomboid.

Thanks to Jiffydude for pointing this issue out. If you want a better explanation of the vanilla building spawn mechanics then refer to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOQaZ0PflZs

(and thanks to Jiffydude for showcasing the mod!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foe78LkXOzU

Safe to install and uninstall on your saves with no problems whatsoever.

I’m not sure. I’m hoping they did fix it, or if they haven’t, that they’ll fix it for the stable release. I’ll test building spawn behavior sometime and report back when I do.

I downloaded this and unfortunately it causes lag on my machine in LV due to high zed spawn rates that apparently my mac can't handle. However, when i turn the mod off in the settings menu, now i have no zombies spawning inside at all. Which honestly is kind of a blessing in LV but it feels like cheating haha

zombie spawn to lot even in the oustides, making it impossible to have a good game... its like you kill a horde of 12 zombies walk in the quarter and its one more hord of 20 zombies just in the door of your home

bad performance hit . if u walk around in LV zombies will spawn in the big buildings and the whole game will lag because 200+ zombies are spawned in a building . they probably coded it this way so the game will be more manageable in high dense areas. Sadly have to remove from my server

Works in metro maps?

I noticed that everytime i have this mod downloaded, alot more zombies will spawn, so watchout people who like to use guns or like to scream in public bathrooms as a prank.

I have an issue with this mod, running a server with zombie respawning turned on and this mod enabled, zombies will respawn in my safehouse, inside the room I'm standing in (this has happened like 3 times by now, it's a miracle my character is still alive lol), I just tried uninstalling this mod from the server, and no zombies spawned in my safehouse this time when I logged in.
(PS: I am removed from my faction and safehouse and have to claim it again every time I log out and in again, any idea what's causing this? (It probably doesn't have anything to do with the mod I'm guessing, but it's still a little annoying and I'm desperate for answers!))

I found a better version of this mod - "Wake Them Up".

DESCRIPTION
Spawn building zombies fast optimizing performances costs.
This mod is a replacement to Ducks' Zombie Building Spawn Fix.
It adds the same improvement but with less drawbacks, see details below.
