#The Violent Resilience of Violet "The Hyena" Galan

The zombies were relentless and masters of this place, their rotting bodies stumbling through the streets. Violet dispatched them one by one, her eyes gleaming with feral determination.

But it was the raiders who posed the real threat. Violet had learned their ways—their cruelty, their greed. She stalked them like a vengeful spirit, picking them off one by one. The Hyena left their bodies in the streets, a macabre message to others: Riverside was hers.

Three months passed. Violet’s hair grew wild, her skin tanned and scarred. She stumbled upon the remnants of a Gigamart—an enormous supermarket that had once catered to suburban families. Its automatic doors long dead, its shelves stripped bare.

Violet cleared the aisles, stacking canned goods, fortifying the entrance. The undead pounded on the barricades, their moans a haunting symphony. But Violet was unyielding. She rigged traps, set alarms, and painted warnings in blood on the walls.

The Gigamart, now a fortress, became her sanctuary. She danced among the empty aisles, her laughter echoing off the tiled floors. The Hyena had found her solitude, her purpose. She would survive, thrive even, in this broken world.

And so, in the heart of Riverside, Violet Galan—the exotic dancer turned survivor—became a legend. Her laughter, once a siren’s call, now struck fear into the hearts of zombies and raiders alike. She was Riverside’s last hope, its fierce protector—the Hyena who refused to be devoured by the apocalypse.

Thank you ❤️

Inspired by the Super Duper Mart in Fallout 3. If NPCs worked better, I'd love to have a gang of anti-raiders living on the bottom floor, for now it's nice to have the extended balcony and the fortress all to herself.

haha, what's your mod list ?

It's insane, I don't think I've ever modded any game so much.

#

Aiming for a realistic and immersive Kenshi-like experience. Most loot is insanely rare, fresh food is gone. Zombies are 6 months variety, no respawn but 5% horde night keeps Violet busy, Raiders never use ranged weapons (My personal canon is that most ammo has been used or lost. An unpopular choice of weaponry lest it bring down hordes upon you. Survivor communities aren't big or advanced enough to be interested in crafting gunpowder.)

I've edited Hostile Survivors Framework to give them more intimidating and raider-like uniforms such as The Hunters above. I edited Undead Survivor to make armor craftable. Lots of little tweaks here aiming for an immersive experience. No farming but I do have the Dynamic Trading mod to get supplies I need and not just rely on trapping/fishing.

#

Current plan is perhaps moving to Louisville after the winter or passing the Winter in Rosewood, maybe clear out Knox County. I'm tempted to try Shortwave Survivors as well 🤔

There's two in my mod list.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3023939431 is working very well, recommended although I might suggest removing guns from the NPCs since it can be brutal.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3046760964 which spawns random NPCs that might be hostile, not so much. They just freeze and crouch waiting for you to come close and seem to have a longer melee range.

Unfortunately Shortwave which allows for trading uses the old Superb Survivors. Seems to be buggy in regards to preset groups getting killed off by zeds and is likely more intensive on RAM.

what clothing mods did you use for that @sullen nacelle

#

Nomad Parka right ?

#

A combination of the Ominous Nomad Parka (Rare and black) and Nomad Trousers, along with the Prepper Gas Mask. Stalker gloves and shoes.

#

I've edited the mod to make those three sets craftable at certain tailoring levels. I like lvling taioloring and will welcome anything that makes it more worthwhile. 4 for Prepper Gear, 6 for Stalker Gear, and 8 for Nomad Gear.

#

Not fond of the Headhunter or Amazon sets, a bit lore-breaking in my own personal opinion and head-canon. Even at 0%, they will still somehow spawn, others are at 0.3%. Rarely though. Out of the 2000 zeds killed and clearing the town, I've only seen 1 nomad (0,3) pop up.

#

With recut and tailor to fit mods, you can lower the insulation during the summer and remove stat penalties.

#

Someone's made a higher quality version although the rig I play zomboid on can't handle it.

Yeah it's from Ethereal :)

Violet then snuck into Hanza stations to find their lover, helped by an old man named yermak. Together, the three of them stole a train. And rode out into the Moscow countryside

I wanna get it but I play on 8x so I'm wondering if maybe the spawns will be too frequent

For x8 you probably want to change it
