Ambush and Hideout ini - Questions and Answers
Ambush & Hideout ini Questions
Question:
In the Bandit Hideouts.ini what happens when i set the setting PERSISTENT_HIDEOUTS=0
to zero does it disable hideouts, and does it also effect ambush points?Answer
In the ini the following setting:
// BANDITS SETTINGS //
PERSISTENT_HIDEOUTS=1 // Bandit hideouts will be part of the world, set to 0 to disable.
If you set that to 0 (zero) it disables all the ambush points and hideouts only, which means they wont ever spawn in.
The hideouts are persistent which means they will spawn bandits based on your distance from the hideout, and after
the hideout is cleared, then there is a cool down in ingame hours. Once that cool down is done then

Zombies - Questions and Answers
Zombie Questions and Answers
Question:
If zombies are enabled, will they replace all the bandit encounters from the mod
or are they just "extra"? Zombie-Lairs option is set to 0Answer
No zombies wont replace any bandit encounters, they are a gang or faction of their own, and spawn independently of bandits.
With the zombie lairs setting in the ini set to ZOMBIE_LAIRS=0 you will only encounter bandits at hideouts,
and ambush locations and should only be spawning bandits.
If you change the setting to 1 then zombies will spawn at hideouts instead of bandits.
Question:
Is there a way to decrease the zombie's health so their not bullet sponges? Answer
Yes, in the ini look for this setting:
ZOMBIE_HEALTH=300

Hello Bandit Hideout fans!
Today i want to inform you about my planned Mexico expansion, basically building hideouts in the

2021 i had played with it for a long time, and mainly was fascinated by all the bandit features.
So i sent crossed pm's asking questions about this and that since release, then one day in April (2023) i had asked crossed
