A collection of random starting scenarios created as challenges. 2025-01-02 - Adjustments to The Test Subject, scripting checks will stop after 24 hours. Player now starts with a stone in hand. 2025-01-01 - B42 ready. New scenario - The Test Subject. Starts off somewhere underground with nearly 400 zombies between you and freedom. 2024-12-16 - fixed the sandbox setting issue thanks to finding a solution in another brilliant scenarios mod - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3129175142 8/5 - minor tweaks to settings, fixed mod options issue 8/3 - remove and replace remote cabins from Naked and Afraid SCENARIOS: Entering Knox County Challenge - You are arriving on the outskirts of Knox County with a random amount of gas in your vehicle.

Hospital Wake Up Challenge - You wake up drugged, hungry, thirsty, groggy, and with a broken bone! You are only wearing a hospital gown, perfect for the modern classic "Wake up after the apocalypse" roleplay.

(Almost) Naked and Afraid - Who knows how you ended up this way, but you wake up with no clothes and you're terrified out of your mind in a vacant property or cabin.

Abandoned Soldier - Your squad never showed up and all of that gunfire you heard must have attracted a nearby horde. You have decent gear, supplies and some empty/full magazines in your backpack.

Prison Challenge - Start in your cell with a potentially zombified cellmate, and a random tool they smuggled in for you. Escape with your life!

Last Ditch Security - Start in March Ridge Dormitory on the 2nd floor with the 1st floor stairs removed.

The Final Flight - Start as a crash landed aircraft pilot with some injuries, but also your emergency supplies.

FIre Sale - Start in the middle of the mall, but a number of electrical fires break out. Mall alarm will potentially go off.

The Test Subject - Something doesn't feel right. You wake in a cave, at the bottom of a massive secret military base.
