Dead Air – V3

- Added missed-contact retries for wandering hordes that fail to reach a player.
- Added game-stage-scaled wandering-horde compositions.
- Added soldiers, feral wights, zombie dogs, runner groups, and rare running-soldier groups.
- Fixed wandering-horde frequency and player-bias hooks.
- Improved regular POI wanderers. Tier-scaled quotas now search progressively wider areas up to 22 blocks and retry any remaining quota as later sleeper volumes activate.
- Improved POI spawn logging so delivered totals, planned totals, tier minimums, and pending retries are visible in the console.
- Expanded height-cheese rage detection. Nearby zombies with no usable navigation path can now contribute to the trigger even before they start breaking blocks.

Dead Air V3
CHANGELOG
Version: 3.0.0
Game Version: 7 Days to Die V3.0.0
Version 3.0.0 hotfix - 2026-06-29
- Increased wasteland ambient street density in non-downtown/non-commercial chunks so residential city edges no longer fall back to near-empty biome pressure.
- Added lighter wasteland street-fill zombie groups for ambient density without making every extra spawn a high-tier threat.
- Reduced ambient wasteland zombie bear weighting so bears remain dangerous but stop dominating city pressure.
- Added biome-only spawn safety that relocates or suppresses ambient biome spawns that would appear too close to, or directly in view of, players; POI sleeper and infested spawn multipliers are unchanged.
Version 3.0.0 - Nexus deployment build
- Repackaged DeadAir as five V3 modules:
- DeadAirV3_00_Core
- DeadAirV3_10_IZY_Arsenal
- DeadAirV3_20_WorldLoot
- DeadAirV3_30_Survival
- DeadAirV3_40_Threat
- Reinstated general AI anti-lineup movement behavior:
- zombies use tighter direct chase behavior in close line-of-sight situations
- fleeing players trigger a harder close-in goal in the near band
- attackers receive stable lateral spread and small radial jitter
- spread is toned down when direct chase or hard-close behavior is active
- eating-target behavior is left alone
- Restored height exploit rage behavior:
- only visible, close, below-player zombies can qualify
- zombies with a usable path, or currently climbing/jumping, do not qualify
- sustained unreachable height pressure warns first, then enrages qualifying zombies and spawned responders into hard-hitting runners
- Added Parkour restrictions:
- Parkour remains useful for jump stamina and controlled vaulting
- jump height is capped just over practical two-block movement, with the top rank eased slightly for reliable two-block vaults
- fall forgiveness is limited to short drops
- high falls can still sprain, break legs, or kill at every Parkour rank
- Retained and updated wandering horde pressure systems:
- randomized…

Version 3.0.6 hotfix - 2026-07-01
- Rebalanced outdoor biome density tiers so pine forest has a real grass/town baseline and burnt forest, desert, snow, and wasteland scale up clearly above it.
- Increased wasteland ambient zombie-first street pressure so regular wandering zombies, not dogs, provide most of the wasteland city fill.
- Reduced wasteland zombie dog and dire wolf weighting so predators remain present without dominating ambient street encounters.
- Tuned biome respawn delays to better hold outdoor density even when Biome Zombie Respawn is set slower; POI sleeper and infested spawn multipliers are unchanged.
- Added explicit commercial/industrial and downtown urban street-fill layers for burnt forest, desert, snow, and wasteland so harder-biome cities keep extra ambient bodies above the green-biome baseline.
- Added biome-specific hard-urban zombie pools for those layers, with night pressure scaling up without increasing predator animal rows.
- Registered DeadAir-added POI clear-quest extras as active clear sleepers so they can appear on the compass and remain tied to the triggering sleeper volume.

Version 3.0.9 hotfix - 2026-07-08
- Nudged the MMR M1 red-dot camera alignment upward after the 3.0.8 pass landed slightly low.
- Extended DeadAir loot-quality pacing to T2/T3 weapons and tools so hard-biome day-13 loot can find advanced gear without jumping straight to quality 6 motor tools.
- Fixed biome-scaled contaminated water collection so liquid sources resolve nearby land biomes and vanilla murky fills can be converted to contaminated water.
- Tuned jar-fill pacing: contaminated outdoor water now completes after a short fill beat, while water cooler and coffee maker jar fills complete immediately on the quick jar-action path.
Version 3.0.8 hotfix - 2026-07-08
- Added second-pass IZY red-dot alignment fixes: raised the Hellion VHS-2 sight picture, lowered the MMR M1 sight picture, and added a strong HKG3/G3 red-dot camera override.
- Added a Hellion-specific red-dot iron-sight hide fallback to reduce built-in sight clutter through the reflex window.
- Expanded the AK optic visual fallback to activate likely IZY internal red-dot and scope transforms when the standard external optic mount does not appear.
Version 3.0.7 hotfix - 2026-07-06
- Added IZY Arsenal red-dot camera overrides for the reported high/blocked ADS weapons, including the Tactical Assault Rifle, pipe SMG, MAC-10, Mosin Nagant, Hellion, HK PSG-1, HK416, MMR, USP, Kriss variants, and CZ Scorpion.
- Restored the red-dot aim marker while reflex sights are equipped so transparent or missing internal red-dot reticles still have a usable center point.
- Added a Tactical Assault Rifle red-dot fallback that hides likely front/rear iron-sight transforms while the reflex sight is installed.
- Added an AK-only external optic fallback so red dot, 2x, 4x, and 8x scope models visibly mount on the IZY AK replacement.
- Added a chemistry-station-only ethanol recipe using acid, beer, honey, and boiled water as costly conversion ingredients.
- Added biome-scaled outdoor water contamination: pine forest 20%, burn…
