Talk:Zombie

I'm also interested in the mechanics of zombies. Do they have pathfinding abilities or do they simply try to head directly towards the player? i.e. If you are in a building that has an opening, but you aren't near the opening, will they continue to try to break through the wall closest to you, or will they head towards the opening? 24.125.99.189 19:16, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe zombies hit doors first. About the place of the player... I think they can 'look' at you through walls, imagine you being surrounded by zombies: they will attack everything at once and the weakest spot will get destroyed, making a pathway and the zombies from the direction will most likely use that opening and the others keep bashing your walls. (These are my thoughts, I hope I explained it well) — SyphonA1 (talk)

Can anyone post a reason behind the function of the zombies.

Are they mindless, unrelenting undead? Are some intelligent? Is it a viral transmitted new race?


 * General info: http://7daystodie.gamepedia.com/7_Days_to_Die_Wiki
 * As for the gameplay: zombies are quite intelligent AI's, when building a high tower or a base they will often attack several spots, finding and breaking the weakest point, :resulting in zombies overflowing that spot. — SyphonA1 (talk)
 * I think that kind of technical information could find better in the forum, where you can have the opportunity to ask people who have direct contact with developers, in my opinion. --— Magneto555 (talk) 19:28, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Would it be possible to insert a section about spawning? Such as radius to player, conditions (light level), chances? — Carisus (talk) 07:36, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * This could be possible, but Im not sure how this information could be obtained. —— Ecktos1 (talk) 10:29, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Named zombies
The page has zombies with names, for example Zombie Steve, yet when I encounter and kill said zombie in the game the name is something like Putrid Girl or Infected Survivor. Just wondering where the names came from that are used by this wiki. Oh and I play on Xbox One if that makes a difference.--163.47.236.2 06:26, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Feral and Radiated
It was described as "Feral and Radiated" rather than both, because that is what is shown in the zombie display.
