True Survival – Zombie Apocalypse (V11.9 Smooth Resource Update)

How would you feel waking up in a world over run with the undead? When you walk through this world you will understand what it is like to live in a Zombie Apocalypse. Could you Survive?

EXPERIMENTAL GAMEPLAY MUST BE ACTIVE 

The Add-on

This add-on is simple. Can you survive in a world over run by Zombies?

The History

A deadly virus has taken over the Minecraft World, Some entities were killed instantly (Creepers, Skeletons etc), Everything else became the undead… A Zombie.

Different types of Zombies have taken over the Minecraft World, Each type will have it’s own characteristics, it may be speed, strength or something else,
Whatever the case if you see a Zombie… Run.
Some people are survivors like you and you will find them wondering around getting attacked or attacking Zombies.
NPC’s will automatically attack Zombies just as Zombies will automatically attack NPC’s. If a NPC dies from a Zombie attack they will become Zombies themselves.
 

Zombie Corpses

When you kill a Zombie the Corpse will fall to the ground and start to decay, within this period you can harvest some loot from the Corpse by interacting with it, what you are really hoping for is a Zombie Heart. Rats will eat Zombie Corpses, you may want to get to them before they do.

Each stage of decay will take 20 seconds until the corpse is just bone

When it is just the Skeleton left you can harvest some Bones

The Skeleton will disappear in 20 seconds

If you are lucky enough the get a Zombie Heart from the Corpse, you can start to make a Vaccine to Vaccinate the living including the remaining Animals.

With Empty Vials traded from the Hazmat Guy in the Mesa you can get eight Vials of Zombie Blood from one Zombie Heart

Also a trade of the Hazmat Guy in the Mesa is the Antidote! The Antidote mixed with Zombie Blood with create a Zombification Vaccine

The last stage of creating a Working Vaccine is to mix the unmixed Vaccine Vial in a Vortex Mixer, this will ensure the Vaccine is ready to use. The Vortex Mixers can be found in Medical Cabinets found in Structures.

Place the unmixed Vial of the Vaccine into the Vortex Mixer and wait 20 seconds

When the Vortex Mixer is finished you will have a fully working Zombie Vaccine to give to a NPC or your animals, by Vaccinating you are making it so the Zombies simply ignore them, So starting a Pig or Chicken Farm can be done easily. By Vaccinating a NPC you will open their trade table for you to trade with. This process also allows you to breed the Vaccinated NPC’s, Use a Toblerone on the NPC’s this will get them to give birth to a Zombie Immune Human. Once fully grown giving this Human a set of clothes will determine the role it now has to take. The more Immune Humans you have in one place means less Zombie spawning.

The Immune Humans

True Survival is not just a run and hide add-on, it has depth! The whole point is to rebuild society by creating a community of Immune Humans, these are the Humans that come from breeding the Vaccinated NPC’s.

When you breed the Vaccinated NPC’s they will give birth to an Immune Baby

The Zombies will ignore the Immune unless they are making noise then they will be attracted to them but will not attack them, The Immune Baby will be quite unless it is hungry.

When the Immune Baby is crying you will need to give it a bottle of Baby Milk to calm it

Bottles and Baby Milk can be found inside Food Cupboards

Every time the Immune Baby is feed is a chance for it to grow up into an Immune Toddler

The Immune Toddler is a bit more lively you may have to keep your eye on it more then the Immune baby

If the Immune Toddler gets hungry it will let you know by throwing a tantrum, which will attract more Zombies. Give it a Bottle of Toddler Milk to calm it down.

Bottles and Toddler Milk can be found inside Food Cupboards

Every time the Immune Toddler is feed is a chance for it to grow up into an Immune Teenager

The Immune Teenager will be quite as it has understood the situation it is in.

If the Immune Teenager gets hungry it will sit down and sulk, give it a cooked Pizza to cheer it up

Pizzas can be found inside Food Cupboards

Every time the Immune Teenager is feed is a chance for it to grow into an Immune Adult

The Immune Adult will not need looking after, it will just do it’s own thing until given a role to play in your community

Clothes can be found inside Suitcases (They are not for you to wear). By giving a set of clothes to an Immune Adult you will be giving it a role to play whilst you rebuild.

 

The Scorched Lands

The Scorched Lands is where the Army first made camp to deal with the Zombie infestation after months working to fix the world they decided that fire was the only real way to clear the undead from their world. The Army left these areas leaving nothing but a few trucks behind, then came the napalm bombs. The Army dropped Napalm Bombs destroying anything below Scorching the land. Once the flames had extinguished they sent in Quarantine Soldiers to mop up anything left over. Quarantine Soldiers have been given one job…. Kill anything that moves! These Soldiers will use their Flamethrowers in had to kill anything they see moving dead or alive, including you!

Inside the Army Outpost and on the back of the Army Truck there are Army Crates which contains the best Armory Loot in the Add-on, to open these crates you but interact with them hold an Army I.D. Card, you can get these by looting the dead bodies of the Quarantine Solders. Good Luck!

The Zombies

Zombies will cover your entire world, every Biome will have them, so there is no real escape from the horror this add-on has to offer. Zombies will be dorment, slowly wondering around thinking on their previous life or what ever Zombies think about. If your were to watch them you will see them sniff the air when an entity they would like to feast upon comes close….Including you!

When you see them doing this, they have caught a scent and will go to investigate, if they find an animal or you they will attack. Zombies attack will not do a lot of damage but will poison you for a certain period of time which can become troublesome when overwhelmed with a hoard of the undead.

When a Zombie attacks a human, that human will either become a Zombie or die. If the human was to die the Zombies will start to eat the fresh corpse, this could work as a good distraction in an emergency!

The Humans

Humans are rare, you will not see many of them as when ever the Zombies sees them they will attack them making more Zombies, so keeping one safe long enough to Vaccinate them is hard. When a Human is vaccinated you can still trade with them but now they are your friends and will follow you anywhere you go, unless you tell them to stay put, simular to “sitting” but without the sitting animaton (Because they are not dogs) when they have stayed put you can leave them at home and go on your travels knowing they are safe and sound. Humans will not defend you or fight on your behalf, like i said they are not Dogs. Once Vaccinated you can give them a Toblerone and they will begin to breed to create an Immune Baby. Genders count here, so make sure you have a male and a female vaccinated human before wasting a Toblerone.

Grenades are a good item to have on your hotbar at all times, throwing one could get you out of a sticky situation!
