Evil never truly dies.

In the depths of space lies a region infected by death. Barren of life, terrible things move. Those who enter do not return.

Zombies in Space

This adds a new faction to the game for the Undead. A ferocious enemy with no fear. They are not slow. These are fast 28 Days Later zombies that will attack any living thing that comes near them. The more you try to destroy them, the more deadly they become. Subscribe to it on Steam, or download the files here to install as a local mod.

Zombies attack anything. They do not use resources. They do not use factories to reproduce units. However, if you do not completely kill them, they will come back to life or even multiply as parts break-off. Your efforts to fight them could very well make them stronger.

This faction is not overpowered, but they are meant to be tough and you may have to change your tactics when fighting them. They will fit fine within the normal game and I don’t expect experienced players to have any trouble with them.

There are also three boss-type ships. Two of them aren’t too bad, but one of them is overpowered. If you see a big red ship, beware. I tried to limit how often these ships spawn (preferably only one each), but sometimes the game spawns them in groups.

This is NOT designed to be a playable faction. I wanted these to be a new challenging enemy to add to your worlds. However, I left them unlockable so you can mess with the blocks if you like. There is a factory block for your use, but the AI will not use it. I’m sure some things will not work properly. In the hands of a player, the blocks will be overpowered.

Details for other modders:
I wanted to make a mod that uses the ATTACK ai flag. This is the same ai that ships use in tournament mode. It does nothing but attack relentlessly. No caution, no need for resources or reproduction, no concern for it’s own safety. It simply attacks anything within range. Sounds cool, but the problem with the Attack flag is that the ai can’t reproduce normally. Once you kill them, they are totally dead.
So I had to make an alternate form of reproduction. The angle I chose was to have multiple cores, so even small pieces can rebuild if you knock them out of commission. If you knock parts off, each piece will become a new ship. Even as you beat them down, they will slowly rebuild themselves and attack again. … zombies seem like a good fit.

Enjoy :)
