Cataclysm-dda: Apartment towers (and other multi story buildings) are too safe: Make them inhabitable by arthropods

Created on 31 Jul 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA

I finally managed to survive a "Tweaker" Reall Bad Day scenario by getting into an appartment building and staying there for 8 days. There are usually 5ish zombies per floor, and once you clear a floor, no more zombies will come, making them exceedingly safe places to set up in. Since making zombies move up and check buildings would be too smart for them and beyond their motivations, I suggest that other enemies that can move vertically (in theory at least) exploit this lack of zombies to make their nests. A simple fix would be to give each floor a 30% chance to be a wasp, bee or spider nest. This will create more variety in the enemies you face, and would justify some of them ocasionally spawning in levels above z1 to pester the survivor.
